Himeji Mizuki's Answer

”Reminscence”

Teacher's Comment:

Correct

It was during October, while ere in 3rd grade

I left so in school after class was dis by another classrooe

That girl was in the classroo on the blackboard silently

At first, I thought she was scribbling some nonsense onto the blackboard

However, she was looking too serious to be fooling around

She kept writing and erasing on the blackboard, and erased and wrote, repeating this over and over again

What's she doing actually, being so serious like this?

The young me back then was curious, and I quietly watched her from the corridor

After looking for a while, I can tell from the outlines and the colors of the chalks used that she's practicing how to draw a tree on the blackboard

s—practicing how to draw a tree on the blackboard? For what purpose?

I was curious as to her reasons, but I was scared of distracting her, so I quietly left her

On the way back ho so focused

A few days passed thereafter

I was curious about what that girl was doing, “What were you planning to do to the blackboard?” and so I nonchalantly asked my friend in the next class

“The grandpa sensei is about to retire or so to be a teacher anymore”

I do know of that grandpa sensei He's the teacher froh he's scary when angry, he's still a popular teacher

“So on graduation day everyone decided to write large 'thank yous' on the blackboard We then chose some people to 'write words on the blackboard' and some people to 'fold paper cranes'

Once I heard these words, I so the blackboard

But she wasn't writing any word on the blackboard Was she in charge of drawing a tree?
