しばらくして海の中で起き上がる樣に姿勢を改めた先生は、「もう歸りませんか」と云つて私を促がした。比較的強い體質を有つた私は、もつと海の中で遊んでゐたかつた。然し先生から誘はれた時、私はすぐ「えゝ歸りませう」と快よく答へた。さうして二人で又元の路を濱邊へ引き返した。
translation
After a while, Sensei changed his posture as if he were getting up in the sea, and urged me, "Would you like to go back now?" Having a relatively strong physique, I wanted to play in the sea even more. However, when I was invited by Sensei, I quickly replied cheerfully, "Yes, let's go back." And so, the two of us made our way back to Hamabe.
