The nervous guys shouts, “Yes!” for they are afraid of her since
they are going to get their butts spanked <- first years who watched the
game and couldn’t forget what happened. Yuki thinks that for them to have a new
captain, Kido has really ‘retired’. She recalls how Kido joked to her that he
is going to recommend her as the next captain. Yuki thinks no, she should
already release that thing regarding Kido before his retiring [last] game. She
reprimands herself for being stupid for always not being getting it through,
right now, the third years had retired and they, the second years have to pull
themselves together or else— “So, I shouldn’t fool around this kind of person”
-> Shou asks her, “Senpai, do you still like the captain?” Serious Yuki
glances at him while holding her strengthening plan notebook for the club. She
tells him to quickly practice for his foot injury is already well that he can
be in charge of picking up the balls. Shou whines that he’s fed up with it. She
asks if he is an elementary kid. Shou says that she is thinking of a new plan
at one side and washing towels at another side, she’s really capable when
obviously Captain Kido is no longer around. Yuki says that even if he isn’t
around, this is her work and for her, the basketball team is very important and
this hasn’t change a bit. She thinks that this place has memories of
Kido-senpai. Shou glances at her and suddenly kisses her on the cheek. Yuki
thinks that she’s careless. Holding her cheek, she tells him if he doesn’t pay
a bit attention, she is going to arrange a devilish plan for him. Shou says
that it is because she totally wasn’t thinking of him when he obviously said
that ‘I’ve fallen for you’. [<- Ah, in Chinese, he literally said, ‘I came
to like you’ which doesn’t sound so nice in English so here, what he said is
‘like you’ but for continuity’s sake, it is still ‘fallen for you’.] Yuki
lectures him that if he really likes her, he couldn’t possibly just casually
touch her like this. “One’s heart would beat continuously but there also a bit
of pain[/bitterness]. Do you understand that kind of feeling? And, I basically don’t
feel the feeling that you like me. You are only just teasing and fooling around
with me, that’s all, right!?” Shou asks, “Then, when you and the captain are
together, your heart beats continuously but there is a bit of pain?” Yuki says
that’s right? Then, she thinks that this is bad, she got pulled by the nose
again by him. “I shouldn’t just say what shouldn’t be said. Calm..calm down.
*nervous* Calm down..!!” Yuki goes ‘ha?’ when Shou says, “Annoying to death.”
During lunch, Yuki’s friends call out to her and ask if she
is going to drink all of that milk. Putting the straw in the fourth milk
carton, Yuki says that’s she wants to ingest calcium. [<- low calcium =
irritability] Her friend says that her stomach would be filled with liquid.
Yuki thinks that it is no good. “Perhaps, since I was born, this is the first
time I’m so irritated up to this degree.. You can also say that there is
max[imum] pressure. ‘Annoying to death’ refers to, what does ‘annoying to
death’ refers to!? Where did you lose your ability to express things, that
repulsive brat..!!” She is surprised to hear some laughter and looks out the
window to see Kido with friends. Her pressure level goes down to low. She
recalls Shou asking her if she still likes the captain. Holding her chest, Yuki
thinks that kind of thing, even if she used her brain to think about it, she
also couldn’t know it. During practice, Kido and the other third years come to
check on them. They say that the others are seriously practicing and they’ve
come to play as their opponents. Two-tone haired second year guy asks how come
they came. Kido says that they think that since their numbers suddenly decrease
they would be lonely. Kido apologizes to Yuki as the manager for suddenly
coming without invitation. Yuki says that it is alright for anyway, everyone is
happy. Shou is watching them. Light haired third year put his arm around Shou
and asks how his foot. Shou darkly asks how come they came here. Light haired
guy says that he is still that not cute and darn, is he telling them to quickly
leave. Yuki says that practice time is over so how about starting on a 3 on 3
right now. Kido says okay, this time it is second year vs third year. Two toned
haired guy exclaims that he doesn’t want that for the senpai-s won’t be lenient
with them. “Ah, could it be that you want to viciously defeat us so that you’re
going to rant about cleaning us out.” Kido winks and says a little bit. Two
toned hair says that he’s awful. Yuki calls for three second years to come.
Going in between Kido and Yuki, Shou says, yes, he’s in. Kido laughs and asks
what’s with Shou for it is rare for him to be enthusiastic. Yuki says that he
is a first year and his foot isn’t well yet. Shou says that it already doesn’t
completely hurt. “..So, *whispers to Yuki* if I win, you’ll go on a date with
me next time, okay?” Surprised Yuki shouts, “Da..” Stretching Kido asks what it
is. Yuki says that it is nothing. Yuki couldn’t believe it. She wonders if this
is some kind of joke that he’ll unexpectedly deciding that on his own. Abe says
that it is third years vs second years + Shou, game starts.
Yuki decides to let it go for it ought to be no problem at
all. “The opponent is the third years. Even if it’s Naruse, they shouldn’t be
able to easily win.. *Shou catches the ball and shoots* Should.. *Shou shoots
the ball again* not win.. *and another shot by Shou* Shouldn’t win-- *nervous*”
And, the second years win by 29 points vs the third year’s 25 points. Second
years cheer while light haired guy exclaims that Shou’s foot is already okay.
<- third year who went a bit easy on them. Shou says that didn’t he say that
it doesn’t hurt anymore. Yuki couldn’t believe that idiot won and he told her
that they are going on a date if he won. She nervously says no, that’s not
right, she didn’t agree to it, and that guy just decided on it on his own. Her
thoughts are interrupted when Kido’s girlfriend asks her if the ‘3 something 3’
is already over. Kido calls out to her as Lena [guesswork name from 莉娜]. He
asks if she just arrive and it’s great that she didn’t get to see him lose.
Lena laughs over it. Yuki nervously thinks that it is forming like a strange
love triangle. Kido introduces to Yuki Lena and apologizes for not introducing
her and just casually keep on talking. The girls introduce each other. Lena
says that she knows her, since she’s the flashiest in the game [before] and
she’s amazing for she’s the only one acting as manager for the club, and could
it be that there is someone she likes here. Yuki thinks that is the no. 1 topic
that she wants to avoid. Kido says no, Yuki isn’t that kind of flirty girl,
isn’t that right. Yuki just agrees. Reminding herself that didn’t she decided
not to have that kind of thinking towards Kido, Yuki tells Kido that his
girlfriend is very cute. Lena says that Yuki’s very beautiful. Yuki keep
telling herself that she can do this, normal conversation, normal expression,
if she doesn’t. She is starting to look sad when Shou, who is watching them,
goes to her and says, “Yuki-senpai, I won so let’s go on a date.” He pulls her
arm and leads her away. Yuki goes from surprised to shock. She says that didn’t
he say next time, and also.. Shou says that in the end, he wants to do it now.
Kido and Lena are puzzled as Shou drags Yuki who thinks that Shou is quite headstrong.
Soon, they are at an amusement game center. Yuki thinks that it is noisy to
death. Yuki tells him that if he only wants to play then go with his friends.
Shou asks her if she isn’t into games. She darkly tells him to listen to what
she’s saying. “By the way, you suddenly dragged me out here and I haven’t tidy
things up and write the journal.” Shou says that it is alright, she can do it
tomorrow. Yuki angrily says that it is no good.
She is surprised when he suddenly gives her a toy gun to a
zombie shooting game. She says, wait, no good, she cannot do this for she
hasn’t played it before. Shou asks if that is for real. Yuki says wait a
minute, what is this, wait..what..what.. She is shooting with the gun on top of
her head and shouting that it is scary. Playing the UFO catcher, Yuki shouts
directions to that it is on the right side, a fist, and two little fingers, and
add 3 thumb distance from the left to the right side. Shou says that he doesn’t
understand what she’s saying. Playing a racing game, Yuki asks if she’s first
place. Shou says no, she’s going the opposite way. Then, at a huge prize UFO
catcher, Yuki manages to get something huge which doesn’t seem cute at all.
Narration: “Why am I with this kind of person in this kind of place. Ah ah, so
noisy to death. Commotion. Chaos. Continuous noise. The more I don’t understand
in the end, what I’m thinking. In the end, what am I irritated about. What am I
confused about..” Yuki throws a ball into a board with numbers. Carrying a huge
veinpopped gorilla doll that Yuki won, Shou says that it should be a bit lower.
Holding the ball, Yuki tells him that he’s annoying to death, this is very
hard. Shou says that this is the last ball and she didn’t get a single one
until now. Yuki shouts that he’s noisy to death, let her concentrate. Yuki aims
and throws the ball. It hits the number 5. This surprises Yuki that she grabs
Shou’s sleeve and says, “Naruse, did you just see..” Pause. Shou glances and
smiles. Yuki wonders why it is like this. Recovering her ego, she thinks that
she is fooled again for she got overly excited and lately, she lost her own
tempo. Shou gives her a drink. She says thanks. He asks her if she has calmed
down. This puzzles her. He says that just now at the gym, wasn’t she very
fretful and uneasy. Yuki wonders what nonsense he is talking about then, she
recalls that he said next time but he dragged her away at that time *when
talking with Kido and his girlfriend*, saying he wants it now. “Ah..that is--
Could it be--..” Then ponytailed girl, together with black haired girl and a
guy, sees them. Ponytailed girl says that isn’t it Naruse, and how come he
isn’t answering the phone when they kept on calling him. Black haired girl says
that didn’t he really hate noisy places. Yuki asks is that so. Drinking a
canned drink, Yuki says that it is limited only for today’s special situation.
Putting her hand on Shou’s shoulder, pony tailed girl exclaims what, no way,
it’s a date and it’s even with a senpai. Grabbing Yuki’s hand, Shou says that
she’s [ponytailed girl] really noisy to death. “Let’s go, senpai.” While he
pulls her along, Yuki asks why he brought her to this kind of place. Shou says
who knows, it is just at random. She asks doesn’t he like this place. Shou
replies, “Yup. I’m only thinking that senpai ought to find it interesting, and
that’s all there is to it.”
Yuki’s heart beats loudly. She thinks, “For me..? –I always
*recalls his confession* thought you are just joking, that’s all. But, could it
be..si..sin..sincere..? No, this is Naruse.” Shou’s cellphone is ringing that
he complains over these people talking endlessly. While Shou is tinkering with
his cellphone, Yuki notices a photo sticker of ponytailed girl and wavy-haired
girl flashing v-signs at the back of Shou’s cellphone. She stares at it that
Shou tells her that those girls stick that without permission and he couldn’t
take it off for it seems that they’ve used glue. Yuki says that it is that
[pony tailed] girl a while ago who is always with him. Shou says yes, they are
from the same junior high. Shivering, Shou asks isn’t she cold. Yuki thinks,
“‘Sincere’..you already have so many cute girls at your side, why do you
specially go to me? Kissing up to that degree, you definitely also did that
with them, right.. Besides, you basically don’t have a reason to like me.
‘Sincere’? No way. No way. No way. No way.” At the gym, Shou says,
“Yuki-senpai. It’s very cold. Want to go home. The gorilla is very heavy.”
Inside, Yuki tells him not to talk too much, he’s noisy to death. “Didn’t I
tell you that there’s no need for you to come, too. Ah ah, in the end, there is
a ball left that isn’t tidied up. The journal is messed up.” Shou says what
about it, regarding the journal, just write it tomorrow. Shou is shivering
since he is weak against cold. Yuki says that if she doesn’t write it today
then it won’t be called a journal. Shou mutters that it’s annoying to death. He
watches her saying that this page and that page, what to do, it’s too dark.
Shou says, “Senpai, go steady with me.” Yuki freezes and drops her journal on
the floor. Shou is already hugging her from behind. Yuki says, “..Hey, let go.”
Shou says, “Like. Like you the most.” Yuki is surprised when he hugs her
tighter. Yuki shouts that she knows already. Shou says that she doesn’t know. Yuki
sternly says that she said that she knows. Shou says, “Don’t lie to me. Properly
understand it again. *Yuki’s heart is beating loudly* Do not say on your own
that I’m pulling a prank on you. Touching you as one pleases. One’s heart
doesn’t beat continuously-something. Obviously you don’t understand me. Don’t
say things on your own.” Yuki says, “ Naru.. (Ah.. I’m sorry, Naruse. This time
I’m truly sorry. If you were seriously confessing, I would have seriously
answered you. Calmer and more like a senpai.) Naruse (In short, calmly)
*blushing red and nervous* I’ll properly think about it so you slow down first,
okay!!! {Down first okay..First okay.. okay..} <- echo [at the gym] Shou
looks startled and speechless. He says, “..senpai’s expression..” Yuki asks what?
Shou says nothing at all. Narration: “Calmly..”
Comment: So much
for dealing with this calmly. =P I like how the mangaka is pretty much throwing
whatever Yuki is thinking at the start of the chapter out the window by the end
of the chapter. It is the same with the first chapter. Hehe, that is how much
influence Shou has on her whether she likes it or not =P She is pretty much
calm after that kiss and how people are still reacting over what she shouted at
the game. And, Shou seems to be quite calm over her reaction to his confession
until the end of the chapter. It seems that her concept of how one should feel
when one is in love is different from Shou’s. She is more conservative while
Shou is more liberal and open in expressing his love. Unfortunately for him, it
makes her think that he is just fooling around. Shou hasn’t made her forget the
captain yet but he’s getting there with what he did for her to cheer her up
after interacting with the two love birds. Yuki’s reactions at the game center
is quite funny..she doesn’t want to lose. =P It makes me think that Shou ought
to show her more how to have fun rather than the things she always know = all
work and be serious. I felt like laughing just seeing that gorilla doll on
Shou’s back. ^^; Yuki’s reaction to his second confession is pretty unlikely of
her and I guess she didn’t realize that she was blushing there. A little bit
more, Shou =P Lastly, for the hug, maybe he is using her as a warmer since he
easily is afraid of the cold ^^ Scans by 红莲汉化组

Good chapter. This really is an interesting history ^^
ReplyDeleteThanks for your hard work.
Thanks for reading, Mineira ^-^
DeleteAn amazing chapter . It's hilarious how deadpan Shou can get around Yuki. While Yuki is almost all the time serious.... and a bit confused.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the hard work Kat.
Yup, and thanks for the comment ^-^
DeleteOhh, its quite romantic of Shou, doing things for Yuki's sake.. I want to think that he really has serious feelings for her, but still, why do i feel that there is something more behind Shou's actions?
ReplyDeleteAs for Yuki, she really resembles Chihiro.. They didn't want to have anything to do with the guy but unknowingly in the end, they are influenced by them .. she starts to become uneasy about her feelings and gradually changing that 'serious face'.. well i do think Yuki is beautiful, and i wanted to see her smile.. ^^
I really like the hug, and that expression of Yuki? Well, lets see if there will be progress between these two.. I want to see more lovey-dovey here.. hehehe... Thank you for you time and effort Ms. Kat.. <3<3<3
Is that so.
DeleteYa, from that, she does.
Indeed..those were nice ^^ Thanks for the comment ^-^
The convo about the "tongue"... lol and it's amusing that yuki's the type who can love truly yet having a hard time expressing it into words and actions while shou is very vocal and if he love/like someone he wants to express it thru actions more than words... like to kiss and hug her... ha3 and yuki thinks that everyone is the same when they fall in love.
ReplyDeleteThanks kat! I really like this chapter... funny and romantic! Ha3 looking forward to see more from the pair!!
Ya, it is a contrast between the two. ^^
DeleteThanks for reading ^-^
Interesting story :), pls keep it up! Thank you so much !
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome and thanks for the comment ^-^

ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, kavy li ^-^
DeleteThank you so much,Kat. I'm really enjoying this manga so far :P
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to other chapters <3<3
You're welcome ^-^
DeleteHe's so Handsome .. ♥♥
ReplyDelete=)
DeleteWhat did Shou really said.. "I've fallen for you" or "I came to like you" ? ^_^
ReplyDeleteIn Chinese, it is 'I came to like you'..and 'like' is pretty much 'love' in Japanese but it isn't 'love' as in want to marry in Japanese. So, it is more or less, that kind of meaning..fallen for you. ^^;
DeleteThis manga is so amazing ^^
