Teacher, will you go on a date with me after graduation?
I meant it as a joke. Sato-kun, a student of mine who had no particular goals and hadn't decided on his future path, asked me out on a date after graduation. Thinking that if it motivated him... I rashly agreed. But from that day on, Sato-kun started working incredibly hard, changing beyond recognition, and I couldn't back out... Just once wouldn't hurt, and my husband probably wouldn't find out. So, after Sato-kun graduated safely, I decided to go on the date as promised. But I never imagined it would turn out like that.
