Hirunaka No Ryuusei 46: Shishio got a call that there is something
Yukichi wants to ask of him so go to the store before it opens tomorrow.
Shishio comes in to Yukichi’s store and greets him. Yukichi says that it has
been a long time and it seems that he hasn’t been coming here. Shishio says
that he has been busy. Yukichi asks if he has been busy seeing Susume. Shishio
looks at Yukichi who turns to look at him. He asks what’s with that expression,
and why isn’t he saying ‘what are you joking about’. Yukichi laughs and says
that for him not to cover it up means that it is true. Shishio tries to say
something but Yukichi angrily asks him if he knows what he is doing. Clenching
his fist, Shishio removes his cigarette and mutters that he knows. Yukichi
scolds him that he fundamentally doesn’t know because given his current
position, does he really think that he can make Susume attain happiness. And,
what would happen if he didn’t found out about it. Can he quickly be at
Susume’s side when she is in pain, depressed or lonely? Shishio recalls the
times when Susume is with Mamura. Yukichi says that Susume is still 16 years
old and she will still experience all sorts of things and isn’t it his duty to
protect those. For Susume, this is one of the experiences and he ought to know
it clearly than anyone. Looking away, Shishio says he knows, everything clearly
so he hopes that he [Yukichi] would keep on treating her the same – not saying
anything nor asking anything. Shishio bows and says, ‘please’. At school,
Susume happily greets her friends. When they mention why she is so enthusiastic
so early in the new school term, she tells them about wanting to progress this
year. She notices Mamura but Yuyuka beats her to calling out to him. Mamura
greets them back then he notices Susume so he asks why she is staring off like
that. She says nothing then, she starts to ask how much money he got for New Year.
He won’t answer her even if she told him that she got 20,000 yen. She tells him
‘yoroshiku/take care of me this year’. He says, ya. Susume is glad that they
can talk normally unlike during the New Year’s eve which was awkward. Seeing
him together with Yuyuka, Susume starts to wonder if they would go steady, and
if that happens--.. She snaps out of it and thinks that compared to that, she
has a bigger problem in front of her. Entering the classroom, Shishio calls out
to everyone to sit down. Susume thinks that it has been a long time since she
has seen him in teacher mode so how is she going to ask him that question.
Before Shishio leaves, he calls out to Susume that during lunch break, can she
help out in the fixing up the material/data room because Yada [guesswork from 矢田] is busy today.
Susume says okay. Yuyuka whispers to her that this is a good opportunity to
talk. While walking, Yuyuka and Susume talk about this opportunity though
Susume just thinks that he only wants her to help out in some odds job. At the
social data room, Shishio asks her to put back the books on the shelf. She
stares at him and thinks that it is really just to help him out. After a long
pause, Susume is about to say something but Shishio says that there is a
question that he wants to ask her. “If I were to resign from this teaching job,
what would you do?” He turns to face her and Susume is surprised. Meanwhile,
Mamura bumps into Yada who turns out not to be busy at all. He recalls Shishio
saying that she is and wants Susume to help him out. Then, Mamura realizes
something. Comment: So, Shishio is already thinking of quitting his job for
Susume. Because they were found out by Yukichi, I guess this made him finally
decide to do this. Hm..for Susume to wonder of the possibility of Yuyuka and
Mamura, is it just friendship or romance? Hm..I thought Yuyuka was already
rejected. ^^; So, she’s trying again? Anyway, Mamura is quite intelligent to
put things together so he ought to know something is up between those two. Will
he be comforting her again later on or depending on the outcome, pursue her
again? By the way, to those reading this series from the start in English
scanlations, what is Susume’s nickname by Shishio, is it Shushu? Just in case,
I have to mention it later on. Thanks~Anna ^^ Scans by all★wink汉化组
Waltz no Ojikan 6: Hime
starts imagining Tango praising her waltz as if she is like a princess that he
wants her to become his destined partner. She snaps out of it when Yuusei
reminds her that the program has started. Later on, she sees some contestants
looking at the board with charts on them. Yuusei explains that the results of
the first round are posted there. The judges record the points given to the
dancers and they are ranked accordingly. Hime wonders how many points she got.
She starts to imagine that she could be number one since Tango praised but to
her dismay, they didn’t get any score. Yuusei tries to cheer her up by saying
that from the start it is like this because the judges only watch for a second
so every opportunity is very important but then, their thought have already
been conveyed to Tango so he thanks her. Hime says that she should be the one
thanking him because it is like a dream to dance in a competition with him. She
excuses herself that she wants to go to the toilet. Looking around for Hime,
Tango tells Sumire that he’ll look for Yuusei. Sumire looks abandoned. At the
balcony, Tango grabs Hime’s hand and asks where she is going since she is
wearing that outside. Hime sheepishly says that she’s lost. Then, they watch
the second round which has started. She says that they look happy. Tango
jealously says that didn’t she enjoy dancing waltz with Yuusei. She says she
did and describes it like cherry as if she is in a different world. She starts
crying that she’s the only one who thinks that for no one recognized her
dancing as beautiful. She is happy that Tango got to see it and it is inevitable
that she cannot do quite well since it is her first competition but she is
really frustrated. He pats her head and says that it would be okay if she just
strives harder next time, and he would definitely make her into a top quality
partner. Somewhere else, Sumire complains where Tango is. Yuusei says that he
might be with Hime. This made Sumire slightly glum. She comments that Hime’s
dancing is bafflingly seductive that if she is a man, she would definitely want
to dance with her. Holding Sumire in an embrace, Yuusei tells her that she
ought to know that dancing with Hime is just to make Tango enthusiastic and he
won’t dance with another partner again for she is his most precious one. Sumire
starts patting his shoulder and says that they are partners and if someone
overhears them, it might be misunderstood. She tells him that he’s tired so
rest early. She looks slightly flustered. Back to the other two, Hime asks if
he is saying that he’ll be her partner. Tango says yes. Hime excitedly asks if
it is destined partner. Tango asks if she is referring to shocking the judges
and making them give them the highest score next time. Hime asks that isn’t
partner like destined partner. Tango says that doesn’t matter and they should
first apply their group. He is surprised when Hime says that she doesn’t want
to be his partner. She wants to be his destined partner not just a partner to
win competitions. Tango argues that it doesn’t matter but Hime wants a destined
partner, a special existence. Tango shouts that person isn’t easily met. Hime
protests that his former partner is like that. This made Tango stop. Blushing,
he looks away and says that has nothing to do with this issue. He tells her
that he doesn’t know where she got that idea but she doesn’t have to mind it.
Since Hime insist on it, Tango tells her to assume that he didn’t say anything
and they should go. Hime feels that she’s stupid for saying that but based on
his expression, his ex-partner isn’t just someone but always a special one for
him.
At school, Tango yawns for not being able to sleep at night.
Some guys are talking over the change in Hime who looks thin though the mood is
still the same. Tango thinks that she is like a princess only during dancing
and he doesn’t want the Hime whom only he can understand to gradually
disappear. Then, he berates himself that he is like a dirty old man, and won’t
this make his position totally changed. Then, she spots nervous Yuusei waiting
for her at the gate and girls are flirting with him. At the bus stop, Yuusei
comments that those non-dancing girls view him like an alien. Hime apologizes
to him again for the competition. Yuusei says that he heard from Tango that she
rebuffed his proposal to be his partner and it took him 5 minutes to recover.
Hime apologizes for making him waste his effort since she kept on thinking of
Tango’s ex-partner. She asks him if he knows something about it. Yuusei asks
what Tango said. She says he doesn’t know what she is doing right now. Yuusei
says that if it is like that then, he also doesn’t know. Yuusei tells her that
she’ll definitely meet her if she kept on dancing for he heard of those two’s
promise that if they grow up, they will dance together at Blackpool. Hime asks
what this Blackpool is. He tells her that he showed it to her before, it is the
place of the world’s most famous ballroom dance competition. That girl
definitely hasn’t forgotten about that promise and she might possibly still,
hasn’t abandoned dancing. Hime thinks that if she continues to dance, she can
meet Tango’s special person. Yuusei tells her that regarding destined partner,
he doesn’t think that it can easily be done because after dancing for a long time,
there will be a bond born between the two and afterwards, they come to have an
unspoken understanding between them. He tells her that her expressions answered
him that in the end, she wanted to dance with Tango. At the dance studio, Tango
arrives early for his dance class so he decides to take a nap. Sumire is
already inside dancing. Tango says that she is still practicing and why she is
doing it as if her life depended on it. Sumire grabs his coat and asks him to
dance a bit with her since she couldn’t progress smoothly with the Othello
dance. Tango tells her that it is still too early for him to chase after her
level. Sumire shouts what. Sitting on the sofa and loosening his necktie, Tango
tells her that she already dances well and it isn’t necessary to practice as if
her life depended on it. Looking glum, she looks away and says that it isn’t a
bit good for it is still far away from the dance level that she longs for so
she must practice harder. Tango tells her that he doesn’t know what she is
impatient about but must she suit herself to someone else as something she
longed for. [<- something like comparing herself] Regarding her own dance, doesn’t
she already have a lot of strong points. Sumire is surprised by that. Blushing,
she shouts what does he mean by that and what part is good so how can he just
causally say things that she doesn’t understand so properly explain. There is
no response so she turns around to Tango to find him sleeping. Poking at
sleeping Tango’s nose, Sumire says that he told her things that she isn’t used
to, and won’t he dance together with her. Soon, Hime and Yuusei have just
arrive to see Sumire leaning to kiss sleeping Tango. Then, Sumire snaps out and
sees the surprised two. Just then, Tango wakes up. Comment: The series is indeed going for a foursome love polygon.
Hime isn’t going to have her Cinderella ending yet. She didn’t do well enough
to go to second round and because of her insistence of a destined partner, she
just turned out to be Tango’s partner. Now, it seems that Sumire is indeed
interested in Tango. So, is she Tango’s ex-partner? If she is, it seems that
Yuusei is going along with what Tango told Hime. It would make sense why she
has this inferiority complex type of thing even if she is already dances really
well, why she would want to dance with Tango and why she is somewhat jealous of
Hime. Given this mangaka’s style, the next chapter won’t continue where it left
off. ^^; Scans by all★wink汉化组
