His name is Iwase Ken.
That helpless guy who came to the wedding.
To this day, I've been watching hundreds of weddings
and only 'till now have I met a rare guy who's so against the marriage of the bride.
He had never been able to say his feeling to her, his childhood friend. As irony would have it, this situation had to come to this.
While looking at the slideshow of pictures, he strongly wished to go back in time and fix his past.
Since I can't stand it, I gave him the power to go back to the time of the photograph.
That's because I, of course, am the fairy of this church.
Although he was able to figure out what so worried her,
The confession he made with all his might, was erased before she could even read it,
by, ironically, the groom whom they've never met at the time.
This guy... What will become of him?
This was the time when the groom, Tada-san, finished his training and was leaving the school that day.
His leaving was hard for me, so I was at a loss.
What was I crying about?
Moreover, why was I crying to Tada-san?
If things go on like this, nothing will change...
Hey Ken,
Ken, why are you crying there?
You were really sad, weren't you? I see there were tears.
Youth, huh...
How cute.
I really am baka, aren't I?
baka - foolish; innocent; stupid.
Ah... How irritating.
Why was I so affected?
What was I crying about?!
What's wrong with me?!?!
To say "Life's Pranks" at this time is cruel, isn't it?
Well... This is too cruel!
Is there something to this?
Reality's cruel, isn't it?
You saw a while ago, instead of her, the groom's charm, didn't you?
Don't tell me, you haven't been thinking as to what will happen?
The normal things that are in a person's life, by no means do they rely on the words you accidentally or unexpectedly say! There are unpleasant consequences!
Don't tell me, only today did you try many times to fix everything?
Don't tell me, when you slept in late... Don't tell me, like when you might have cried during your speech...
Don't tell me, with her getting married to him...
Everything has a reason.
Even my response by meeting you in order to cheer you up has a reason.
If you don't open your eyes, no matter how many times we go back, nothing about your past will ever change.
The way it's always different is cool!
The way it's always the same is cool!
This is the truth.
You said it yourself.
I'll be taking one.
Is it ok to eat at this time?
Occasionally, I don't eat veggies too.
Cool.
Reality is bittersweet... Exactly the way your life is like.
ASK!
And it shall be granted.
Hallelujah Chance!
What's wrong with the Gravity?!
T-Tada-san! What are we doing?
Ah... You forgot that you asked me that already, didn't you?
Ah! I'm sorry... Holding me up is difficult isn't it?
Well, it's difficult for various reasons...
But... Why do you think this is called Cactus?
Translator's note - They are referring to the class formation. It does look like a cactus.
Cactus?!
Well because... It's a cactus...
It's cactus, isn't it?
Actually, even though this is boring, people like it right?
Be it this position or the 2-person tripod, I don't think we worry too much about it though.
I think it's fair to say this will catch on eventually...
I can't!
One!
Two!
Three!
WINNER!!
REALITY SUCKS!!

This is my very first effort at subbing a drama, and in every sense, it is a sort of practice sub. My japanese isn't that good, so please forgive any mistranslations, but I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed making it. Enjoy!
Wow, she's so cute...
This the third time already... This time, I'm really gonna confess!
I'm gonna confess... I'm gonna confess!
You know, Rei...
Ken! Is it really ok if you don't confess?
You're such a big...!!
Stop fighting!
You knew of the Teachers' Welcome, you liar!
It's not like that! Even the Homeroom Teacher has one!
Anyway, today's the last day of the Teachers' training! Didn't you say that?
Last day of Training?
Uwah! Cameron's here!
Cameron?
Eh?
So that is what Ken's type is like?
'Cause she's Americanized! Yo! Yo!
You don't keep things in particular just to yourself, do you?
That's not what I meant!
She's everywhere! And why do you always look for her!?
Because that jersey, though its different from Cameron Diaz's, she acts like her.
Ah, and you know, Ken dreams about her every night saying, "Please leave! This is getting too serious!"
I didn't dream of that!
I don't get why you're being indignant! Even I know that you have that fearful jersey in your dreams!
How gross.
That hurts!
Oh... And yesterday, while he was sleeping, I opened his eyes one by one, and he got soooo pissed!
Don't move you!
What the heck is wrong with this me of six years ago?!
Let's go back.
Tada Tetsuya
23 years old
Tada Tetsuya
Unknown
We've known him around two weeks ago, right?
Didn't I tell you that you won't be able to collect all of the information there?
Well, that's because he doesn't say such trifle information outright.
Maybe because that person keeps to himself and focuses only on work...
Certainly, when compared to Cameron, he definitely is the depressing one.
Kuji even said he was... expressionless?
What are you doing?!
Exactly like that!
That's right! You think so too, right?!
Eh?
His being emotionally blank... Don't ever forget that, ok?
Why?
Ok?
Our compatibility is 79%!
It's quite considerable!
Tada Tetsuya
Wow, that's really nostalgic... I guess I grew up too quickly when I was in elementary...
Oku Eri
Even though you say that, you're still just a kid...
You really mean that Eri?
Actually, Teacher Tada has been on my mind a bit...
Why are you like that?!
Eri, aren't you ok with your boyfriend now? The one with the pro-wrestler like hair...
Oh, they had already broken up!
SERIOUSLY?!
Seriously.
But, with Teacher Tada, I really never get what he's thinking.
That's ok! Don't you think it makes him seem innocent?
Rei doesn't think so!
Don't get angry! She hasn't even said what she thought of!
What she'll say won't matter!
Are you Rei's guardian?
Hey, hey... Ken, sit down, ok?
Oww!
Weirdo.
Sit down... Sit down...
Hey hey! The compatibility between Eri and I... It's 47%!!
Compatibility... LOW!
You're just a teenager at this time... There's no reason for you to get angry so easily...
Let's do this at once! At once!
Rei!
Yeah?
What is it?
Well...
I...
So...
That is...
I...!
I don't want to!
You want me to take over the entire day's cleaning shift, right?
Day cleaning shift?!?
So I don't want to!
Translator's note - Math problem discussion.
Today's Cleaners:

Yoshida Rei
Great!
94%!! I knew Rei and I are fated to be together!
The Tada-san who came to teach our class for his training,
the vision of him towering over that spot, never made students feel like attending his class.
The Tada-san in my memory, was pushed by every everyone else to the back of my mind.
Even though it wasn't like that, I too, did not do something I should have done.
What the fuck!!
From here on, whoever has questions...
Yes!
Well then...
What if we were to meet and fall in love, what would your answer be?
Hey! Hey! You!
What are you doing?
Well, everyone's just resting anyway...
To transfer Y for X and to assimilate Y into X, are just the same, aren't they?
Those two will never cross paths! They're asymptotic curves!
Huh?
I'm sorry if it's difficult to understand.
Even if it's impossible now, someday they will cross paths, right?
No. These asymptotic curves will never intersect... I can explain it in simpler terms.
In summary... *back to the Math discussion*
Yes! Yes! Yes!
I'm no fortune-teller, Tada-san, but no matter what,
SORRY BUT THIS FIGHT IS MINE FOR THE TAKING!!
Preference Unknown
Hey... I really don't get that guy!!
What's this? Didn't you say it's ok EVEN IF you didn't understand him?
Well, I really think nothing of things such as that.
Are you saying that I, Miss Rishu, am no good?!?
You're beautiful!
Who's good enough then?!
You mean Cameron?
That woman again?!
Well, she is.... Okay I'm sorry!
In that case, I will take back the position that was given to me!
Eri!
You really had to say out loud that you didn't think much of Eri!
Argh! You stupid! Take this! This! This!
You guys are like the Three Kameda Brothers!
Three Kameda Brothers (Kameda San Kyoudai) - is composed of Kouki, Daiki and Tomoki Kameda, three young and successful boxers famous in Japan.
Who the hell is that?! Just shut up, you!
Is that someone from our school?
Oh yeah, this is six years back, they wouldn't know about that yet.
N-Nothing!
So what do you think of that person, Kenzo?
Eh?
We were both at Kumitaison's practice, weren't we?
Ah... It's sorta...It was considerably difficult... Yeah...
It was... I wonder what our class thinks about that too.
It was a close game, so it was good, wasn't it?
I think everyone's view is quite clear cut.
It was just two weeks ago... The students somewhat don't have interests that they aim for do they?
I guess it really is like that huh...
You really have difficulty understanding, don't you, Tada-kun?
Difficulty understanding?
When you talked about curves, and said that it is difficult,
Look at me! And you won't say that curves are difficult to understand!
Teacher Cameron!
Don't call me by that name!
The right way is Ca-me-ro-n!
That's how you should call me!
Eri! Eri!
Somebody stop him already.
Ah... The talk a while ago about asymptotic curves...
I'll explain it, even though I think it's a bit difficult.
I realized that if we used symmetry, we'd arrive at a simpler explanation for it.
The blackboard ... is your responsibility, right?
Yeah.
He's really in his own world.
W-Wait! What are you doing?
This is my job as today's cleaner.
Yeah... But my... I'm still explaining...
Everyone's not even interested in these curves, you know.
The problem is, no matter how long you stand here
the gap between you and the students is just too wide.
Though you can't know us in just two weeks,
wouldn't it be nice if you thought about your students even for just a bit?
Up until today,
we were like parallel lines.
Kenzo!
Help me out!
Ok.
I didn't wish for this development to happen, but,
This is...
Tada-san's...
3rd Year Class G's Seating Arrangement
I already forgot about this, but it just suddenly came back to me.
Huh? What's wrong?
Wait!
Ah! Just a moment!
Hey everyone! Everyone!
Right.
The one that opened up everyone's heart to Tada-san...
in fact...
is me.
What's wrong?
Tada, please hurry up. It's going to start now.
My body is great!
YOUR BODY IS GREAT!
My body is glamorous!
YOUR BODY IS GLAMOUROUS!
My voice is sexy!
YOUR VOICE IS SEXY!
My eyes are big and cute!
YOUR EYES ARE BIG AND CUTE!
My fashion is elegant!
YOUR FASHION IS ELEGANT!
I am so pretty!
YOU ARE SO PRETTY!
Class Act!
I am like Cameron Diaz!
Today is Tada-san's last day of training. Our neighboring class sent their teacher off with flowers. Should we do the same?
YOU ARE LIKE CAMERON DIAZ!
I am beautiful!
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!
Cameron is?
NUMBER ONE!
Ken!
Say goodbye!
In front of her!
I'm not like "that" with her ok!
What were you going to say?
I'm telling you, you're mistaken!
Get it over with already!
Let me clear this up first, you're a decade too young to calling me out privately like this.
And you're 100 years too early to be confessing to me!
At least you're finished with the confession, right?
Anyway, why was I turned down?
Teacher! Please go out with me!
I LIKE YOU!
You are a million years too early!
I got the cold shoulder once again!
Aren't you loyal to Eri?
Do you think it looks that easy to find a girlfriend you can be loyal to?!
But I have a girlfriend.
What?! You traitor!
Eh? There's someone who's that simple that Tsuru likes?
Don't come near me, ugly beast! Small ugly beast!
Well, I'm small, you're big, so what's the problem?
Eri!
Ken!
Don't get disheartened.
I'm not disheartened!
That's right! You were turned down, weren't you?
Ever since, you've always been hopeless!
Recklessly challenging it, because you know you'll lose with honor!
You're being annoying.
Why did you become so serious?
I didn't become serious.
You want to cry!
Enough! Stop fooling around!
What is that?
Yes, yes, yes... Understood!
I'll never say anything again! Don't you worry!
You're so stupid.
Today's homeroom ...
since we're going to end soon, so whatever you want to do, I'm allowing you to.
Yes Teacher!
I want to change my seat!
Teacher!
Let us Majority rule.
Okay, so can the people who want to change seats please raise their hands?
Yes!
I'll change!
Yep!
Hey raise your hand!
Ah, Teacher later on,
instead of drawing lots for the arrangement, please let us decide on our own where we could sit!
That's a bit...
Right, Teacher?
Huh?
It's ok, right Teacher?
Yeah.
So, who's ok with choosing the seats they like?
All right!
KEN!
Come back!
What is it?
Teacher is... No, wait... I'll sit on your shoulders! I will!
I don't want to.
Well then, the cactus position!
That's a good idea huh...
Help me please!
If it's for a more important scene I will.
This is an important scene!
Shut up.
So you'll do it?
Okay.
Good!
I don't like thieves.
Ow! This is the second time!
You didn't help at all! You stupid! It was just the cactus position!
Tsuru.
Ha?
I can see where Eri's seated.
Seriously?
Seriously? Where? Where?
You're so useful!
Hold on! You were peeping just now?
Ouch...
Okay, next are the boys! Hurry!
Yes!
What are you lying there for?
Ken!
I reserved the seat for you!
Eh?
Here...
Is here ok?
No, don't.
Ken.
Thank you.
A while ago, you were honestly leaving him alone?
Ken was turned down by that woman.
It's nothing...I thought from the beginning that he was going to be turned down anyway.
But honestly, deep inside, your heart was beating fast, wasn't it?
No it didn't!
Is that so?
It doesn't concern me, whoever that guy goes out with.
Really? But you've been together since elementary...
Kenzo's peak ended during elementary.
Eh? So was there ever someone before that guy?
At that moment...
Come in now!
Okay, hurry up and sit down!
What?!?! YOU'RE DEFINITELY NOT ERI!!
ENOKIDO!
You punk!
Sorry! I saw wrong!
I know you didn't make a mistake!
Rei sat on the same seat as she did before.
For some reason, I should have known that, but,
why didn't I sit beside her?
Why can't I do something as simple as that?
I may have come back, but the me that can't become truly honest to myself
is too full of pride.
Today,
is your last day, right? Of the teacher's training.
Yes.
I've been thinking, this is my last day together with you students.
No... That's actually the unbearable problem here, but...
This is quite pathetic to say but,
if I can go back and fix things, I'd like to do my training again and fix it.
Eh?
Ah... Well, I really want to do this over again.
Though it's impossible.
Actually, when I'm in front of a challenging person,
I suddenly get nervous.
Though two weeks have passed
I still didn't get to know you guys.
I guess I was disgusted by my refusal to see what was before me.
But, a while ago, I was thinking about what Yoshida Rei-san said.
These 30 students
though they may not be my first or last students
I wasn't able to do anything for them, she said.
Although I may have a lot to teach
I still can't do anything for you, she said.
I think Tada-san
will become a great teacher someday.
No matter what others might say
you will become a great teacher.
Thank you for your concern.
Until the time comes when you graduate,
do your best in living your high school life without regret.
Truly, just like how i want to be,
become someone who does not have any regrets.
By the way,
are there any nicknames associated with me?
Yes?
In school, students give teachers they're close to nicknames right?
Like Cameron.
With Tada-san..
Somehow...
I thought so too.
Well, it's ok... I guess...
I only got jealous I guess.
That ass!
You're using too much force.
Because someone has to patch up some things with someone.
I have absolutely NOTHING to do with him!
Hey, since when have Rei and Ken been together?
Mr. Pitcher.
You've been together half of your life, right?
Well that's only because we are always at the same classes.
But isn't that amazing?
Only if I could knock this one out!
Until now, in my entire life
I've only had one nickname.
I was always called either Tada-san or Tada-kun.
That one nickname, who gave it to you?
Ah... My childhood friend.
Although I never believed that anyone can find another one like that,
somehow, it was a very happy memory.
You too; everyone calls you Ken,
but Yoshida Rei-san calls you Kenzo doesn't she?
Yeah.
Is there a story behind that?
Since the time when we met, she has always called me by that.
I didn't really think about it though.
At first,
I thought Kenzo was your real name.
Maybe, the real name Yoshida-san knows
is wrong.
Huh?
Ah, well, anyway... It was just a sudden thought.
Later then.
Thank you, Kenzo-kun.
Kenzo?
Okay, we'll start homeroom now.
Today's topic is...
Until the time comes when you graduate,
do your best in living your high school life without regret.
Truly, just like how I want to be,
become someone who does not have any regrets.
Teacher!
What is it?
I can't see the blackboard.
So is it ok if I change seats?
You do know you just changed seats a while ago.
But, I really can't see from here.
So then why did you choose to sit there?
I thought if I walked with my eyes like this...
But Teacher, you look like Tom Cruise!
Just make sure you really can't see from there, ok!
Then, I'll be changing to Socrates' seat.
With me? You really want my Chi that much?
Chi - Human energy.
Even after the Dynasty has fallen,
this rare flag remains here today.
From its whiteness, no evil flows...
Hey, aren't you hungry? You're really hard to explain...
Ken, you should have said from the start!
Sorry, I thought I'd be able to see from here.
Everyone! Cameron's throwing her clothes off!
No way!
You can see perfectly well, can't you?
You didn't have to worry...
By the way, why did you come here?
I really can't see the blackboard from there.
Your right and left eye are both 20/20.
Certainly, your main point is to boast and to irritate, right?
Honestly, you're just annoying.
Once again, you really couldn't do that one cleaning shift, can you?
In the end, only I returned all of the School Cleaning papers!
You never even erased the blackboard!
I just transferred schools. I'm Yoshida Rei.
Please regard me kindly.
Thank you, Kenzo-kun.
Kenzo?
Iwase Ken 3rd Year Class G
Hey, you didn't ask permission!
At that time, our happiness could never be fazed.
What are you saying? What is it?
'Maybe its nice to become a bride like this', I thought.
What is that about?
Because we just moved, I wanted to be friends with anybody.
You were really quiet, but only on that day.
It's not like that!
The next day onwards, you kept on calling me "Kenzo! Kenzo!"
Now I'm kinda embarrassed about it.
Ah! The old me was so embarrassing!
The School Cleaning papers, you return all of them.
Year Class G

Iwase Kenzo
Thank you, Kenzo-kun.
There, before me, was the smile that I never saw six years ago.
This smile...
ironically, it is now Tada-san's.
Inside,
my heart is throbbing painfully.
Thank you for your good work.
Thank you for having me.
Excuse me.
Hey, you listen to what I say.
Class Act Take 2: We were thinking of sending off Tada-san with flowers for it is his last day today, but, what do you think?

Oku Eri
Enokido Mikio
Tsurumi Hisashi
Iwase Ken
Yoshida Rei
I never would've guessed.
Thank you for having me.
Yeah! Let's go out and have fun some time!
My intention wasn't to have fun from the beginning...
You're so stiff!
You still are like that?
Ah...
TEACHER!
Thank you for the two weeks with us!
Eh?
Even though we won't see you teach anymore,
do your best ok!
Thank you very much.
Tabo-chan! This way!
Our store doesn't sell flowers ok!
We sell hamburgers!
Wow! Thank you!
So go back to the store now, your wife might come here looking for you.
Don't make fun of my store! This month, we'll have more customers than just you guys!
We'll have Zero! Zero!
Zero!
Does he ever get depressed?
Here.
Eh?
You do it instead of me. 'Cause you said a lot of harsh words a while ago.
That's right! Teacher really got hurt!
Me?
I'll give it then!
Why?
Well, I'm today's cleaner.
Rei, give it to him! Go!
Mikio.
Please take this.
Teacher.
Thank you.
About a while ago,
I'm really sorry.
I'm sorry too, for not explaining well.
You look kinda good in a picture. Let's shoot! Shoot!
What are you saying?
IS THAT AN AMERICAN JOKE?!
It's not an American joke? What the?!
I'm really hurt by what you said!
That was just a stupid thought! Let me go you idiot!
Iwase-kun!
Is it ok if I ask you something?
Yes?
What does this mean?
I'll never give up, because I can never lose!
What do you mean?
I don't get what you mean.
Well... It doesn't mean anything... Not a thing.
Are you competing with Teacher for something?
Boys have to win, you know.
I don't have a hypothesis for Iwase-kun, but...
Somehow, I'm getting irritated.
By the way! Go with us to Tabo-chan's place! 'Cause I have a lot to talk about with Teacher!
That is good!
Then... Let's go next Sunday?
Yay! Let's go! Let's go!
How did you know about this?
That wasn't me.
It's useless to lie to me.
This drawing, no matter how you look at it, really looks like Kenzo.
Don't you think so too?
You students!
Picture taking! Picture!
Let's go take a picture Teacher!
Ah... Okay!
Eri!
You've got to be kidding!
Ken, hurry!
Jakenpon - Japanese version of Rock Paper Scissors.
Jakenpon!
I win.
What Janken...?
What did we Jankenpon for?
What are you doing?
Mikio! Stop moving!
Let's go!
Yes!
Say cheese!
Oh man, the Teacher's training of those two was a complete waste!
Because we didn't notice his good points in the beginning.
That's because Ken didn't say anything about the seating arrangement thing.
I really don't remember.
Right.
The Cupid that brought those two together, again,
IS ME!
Erm!
Do you remember my advice?
Make sure that you do special, extra things.
I think that's what I told you.
Is that so?
Your way of doing things this time were all spot on.
That I unexpectedly found out.
But, in the end, they got closer because of me!
Just because you think you've hit the end, you assume that way was the best shortcut there is?
Yes.
Well, the Ken now, He is just causing himself pain and indulging in it.
But isn't it meaningless already?
Humans say honor is when you protect and cherish the person you love even when something unexpected happens.
But you cannot do that.
Well, I have my own way, but sometimes I don't have the courage.
What should be in a coward like you is courage!
I'm not a coward!
Don't get so worried!
In her heart, your importance has just increased a level!
Is that true?
That? It may hold well for a long time, but I won't really say anything in particular about it.
Eh?
Ok!
My uniform's second button not there.
Certainly, there is only one
but that second button, I didn't give to Rei.
You already gave your button to someone.
NO!
Button! Where is that button!
It's impossible to get that button back.
The memory of your graduation day that you carry, is only the figure of the diploma.
I don't want it to end this way!
What am I doing?
Truly, thank you.
