美術の古川先生が退職されたそうです
It seems that the art teacher, Ms. Kokawa, has resigned.

What!?
先生理由は。。。？
Sensei, do you know why?
それが。。「自分の未熟さを思い切り一から修業をやり直す」と言い残して。。。
She just left saying “I have to dedicate my life to refining my unskilled artistic ability”
ひょっとして未理の置物が原因。。？
Could it be that this is all because of Miri's sculpture!?
え。。。！？

You finally chased a teacher into quitting her job...
未理。。。恐ろしい子！！
Miri...you're a terrible child!!
