The narrator tells us that he's not going to school today because of his "dishonest behavior" . He's ashamed of himself, but he doesn't want to be blamed for the divorce of a famous model, an actress, and a beauty queen. The narrator says that he may stay out one more day, but then he'll have to go back to school because he can't bear the thought of going back to his former self. He tells us, "I may as well . . Just plunge this dagger in my throat . since it's come to this . I have no choice, but to go . if only school wouldn't come hembood not gonna "hap pen ." . he tells us. "From now on . i think I'll live . as the man . who tucked away . glory days . going out with . the school idol . and concealed . his love . that went un-rewarded ." The narrator goes on to tell us that the teacher is on maternity leave, and that the girl who's been filling in for him is Yumiko Udou . The teacher tells the narrator that Yumiko is famous for her "pit stains" , and the girl is 38 years old. He asks the teacher what's going on, and she tells him that one of their own corps members has fallen in love with Yumiko, and he vomited. She's twenty-one years older than the teacher, so the teacher has to teach him everything he knows about love. Yumiko wants the teacher to give him advice on how to bring his love back to fruition, but the teacher refuses to help him. The girl looks even older than she was before.
