Back in the gym, fangirls are screaming over Shou’s three
point shoot. Then, Yuki becomes nervous upon noticing that Shou is wearing that
wrist band she gave him. While telling herself to concentrate on the club and
not mind that, spike guy accidentally elbows Abe on the face. Spike guy
apologizes and asks if he is alright. Abe tries to say that he is alright but
it REALLY HURTS. The others tell him to hold up his head since his nose is
bleeding and someone hit his head. Yuki tells them to stop. She tells Abe not
to hold up his head for it would be very dangerous if the blood flows backwards
and they shouldn’t hit his head either. Holding Abe’s head, Yuki says that it
should be 45 degree angle and this will stop the blood, and then, put some ice.
Blushing Abe is holding a cloth on his nose. The others are screaming that Abe
looks very happy and Yuki is an emergency [first aid] doctor. The coach says
that in the end, Machii [町井]
is quite dependable. Someone tells him that it is Machida. Two-toned guy says
that Yuki is unfazed at all upon seeing blood and their basketballs and
activity room are always very neat. Black haired guy blush and says that kind
of perfect feeling, he would come to like.. And a basketball goes flying and
hits him on the head. Black haired guy shouts at Shou that hurts and what the
heck he is doing. Shou casually says that he made a mistake. Since he is a
second year, black haired guy shouts what’s up with that ‘made a mistake’ that
he would hold a ball and throw it to a senpai, he should first apologize. Shou
looks thoughtful. At the clubroom, while sewing, Yuki thinks that actually at
that moment [holding hands] she thought that it is already too late and
perhaps, like that, she would be played around by Shou as he wishes. “That is
what I thought at some corner of my heart, -but.” And, Yuki pricks her finger.
While sucking her finger, Yuki angrily thinks that she is thinking of
unnecessary things. While telling herself to concentrate, Yuki pricks her
finger again when Shou suddenly flips through a book and asks if this strange
book is hers –handling emergencies-, and doing this, she can be an emergency
doctor, how scary. Yuki tells him not to recklessly rummage around in one’s
bag. Shou says that he isn’t, and it fell out. “By the way, after work, let’s
go home together.” Yuki asks why she must go home together with him. Shou
replies, “Coz I’m scared.” Yuki angrily thinks that he is looking down on her.
While walking and some girls are commenting over how tall
Shou is, Yuki asks her if she really, really, really don’t like him. Yuki tells
him that he’s annoying for didn’t she tell him yesterday. Shou says that she
obviously gave him a wrist band. She tells him that is a thank you gift. Shou
says that she obviously say ‘don’t go anywhere’. Yuki says that she didn’t say it
like that. Shou says that she obviously let him kiss her. Blushing Yuki turns
to him and shouts that she said no, and he was the one who forcefully kissed her.
Shou says that obviously it isn’t a ‘no’ expression. Yuki angrily shouts, Ha!?
Thinking that she totally cannot bear it anymore, Yuki says that she is going
to use this opportunity to tell him things clearly. “I won’t go steady with
you.” Shou asks why. This surprises Yuki. He asks if it is because of that
‘TPO’ thing she said. Yuki says that is one reason. To her surprise, Shou says
that isn’t his fault. “The person I like is beside me. *looks at hand* Wanting
to touch her, isn’t that very natural?” Yuki shouts that is what a kid would
say and besides, didn’t she tell him that she doesn’t like him.. She is
surprised that Shou isn’t reacting. He is just quietly looking away. Yuki
nervously wonders what’s up, say something, is he being difficult, depressed..?
Then, she notices that he is staring at something below. She looks down and it
turns out to be a porn magazine on the ground. This made Yuki blow her top that
she asks if he’s listening. Snapping out of it, Shou asks what is it. Yuki says
that she had enough, she’s going home. Yuki thinks that it is no good. When she
has calmed down and searched through her heart *Yuki searching through a drawer
and tossing out ‘noisy to death’, ‘stinky brat’, ‘loathe’, ‘angry’,
‘infuriated’*, she totally couldn’t find the feeling of liking Shou so in the
end, this is her answer. At the gym, while Yuki is cleaning the basketballs,
the others inform her that they couldn’t find the scorebook. Five guys are
formally [seiza] kneeling to her and trembling as they apologize to her. Yuki
asks how it happened. They say that during the break, everyone is looking at
the scorebook.
Then, one of them shouted to look, the tennis girl’s skirt
is being blown by the wind. The others shouted if that is for real. They were
distracted for a moment then to their surprise, the scorebook is gone. The guys
scream that they ask the others about it but they haven’t seen it, what to do
for it might have been stolen. Yuki tells them to calm down for definitely, no
one would steal that kind of thing. She tells them that she’ll first go to the
clubroom to check it a bit [if it is there] and then, she’ll start looking
nearby for it ought to be just thrown in some place. Preparing to leave, she
tells them to go and practice. The guys shout, ‘Onee-sama’ so dependable!!
Actually, Yuki is nervous for that important thing to be suddenly lost. She
wonders if it is some prank that it was hidden or maybe it is thrown away. If
it is the training practice plan, she can re-do that but the scorebook is a
very important record. While looking around for it, she blames herself for she
should have pay attention to this a bit for the things in the club are
obviously her responsibility as manager and it is obviously her work. While
holding an exam book, Kido asks Yuki what she is doing. Yuki is looking for the
book in the trash can. Yuki casually greets him hello. Kido shouts that this
isn’t the time to say hello, for what is it, is it about club activity and what
is she looking for. Yuki is about to say score- but she decided not to being
Kido would definitely offer to help her look for it, so, she casually tells him
that it is nothing and wish him luck for the exams. Kido just says okay. Yuki
recalls that she cannot be irresponsible for she became the manager because of
an impure reason of ‘wanting to stay at Kido-senpai’s side’. Recalling how Shou
is making her lose concentration, she thinks that in the end, Shou is just
driving her around in circles. In the gym, Shou asks the others where Yuki is.
Two-toned guy says that if he is talking about Manager Machida, she is looking
for the scorebook which this guy *black haired guy* had lost. The black haired
guy exclaims that it is bad and in the end, they should have searched together
with her. Just when Yuki is outside the door, two toned guy says no, just leave
it to Yuki, for that girl is very perfect that basically, she’ll find it in a
while and if they go, they would be hindrance to her. The others agree for if
it is her, it is definitely alright. This made Yuki tense that she has to
quickly find it.
Then, Shou asks what he is talking about, for that girl
isn’t a bit perfect at all. This surprises the others. While dribbling the
ball, Shou says that she only looks perfect but probably, right now, she is
rummaging around trash cans. Yuki angrily thinks, stinky brat, don’t say
unnecessary words!! Shou says that the basketballs are always neat is because
she is using her break time to wipe the balls. Destroyed things are returned to
its original state is because she would stay over to repair it. She is
lightning fast in first aid is because she is always studying. “..You guys,
should thank her a bit even if I would do that.” The others start to say that
they don’t want to be lectured by him and from the start, he is using a rude
tone at them <- second year. Yuki turns around and wonders if Shou is an
idiot. “This is something I decided for myself. There is no reason to be
thanked by others. *recalls Shou telling the others that she isn’t a bit
perfect at all* Why would he always step into the area that I do not want
others to go into. Why--” Then, the coach calls out to her. Yuki says that he
came today. The coach laughs and says that he stayed a bit at the coach room
and look over this. He holds out to her the scorebook. He tells her that it is
dropped in front of the gym door and he just went to take a look at it on his
own. Later on, the black haired guy shouts that Yuki has found it. She tells
him that the coach got it. Narration: “Why am I always seen through by that
guy.” The next day, Yuki prepares to go to school. Her mother asks if she is
already going so early again. Yuki says that before practice, she has to first
dry mop [the gym]. Yuki thinks to forget it, no matter what, she only has to
not get close to Shou for she doesn’t know what reckless thing he would say.
She is surprised that the gym door is open. She wonders who came first. She is
surprised to see the gym sparking clean and the sparkling guys greeting her a
good morning. Startled, Yuki nervously greets back. Taking off her coat, she
wonders why everyone is so early and did something bad happen. The guys are
saying that there is still one guy who hasn’t arrived but someone says that it
is okay, start. They shout, “One- Two- *bow* Manager Machida, always until now,
thank you very much!!!”
Yuki is surprised and wonders what.. Just then, Shou arrives
and says, ‘mornin’. The others shout that it isn’t ‘mornin’ and greet properly,
also he would unexpectedly come late. Yuki nervously asks what’s going on.
Everyone sparklingly says that in order to express their appreciation, they
came earlier than her today to dry mop the place. “And also, this..! *gives her
a small box* We used the club money to buy a gift.” Yuki opens the box and
wonders why it is a pink whistle and they used club money for it. Yuki says,
“Thank..you..eveyrone...but, from today on, you guys are forbidden to use your
energy to do this kind of thing. *cold as ice and everyone is frozen* In order
to practice, you guys have to properly sleep and properly eat. This is the work
of the club members and this [whistle] even used a bit of club money. Pfft!
Start the warm up!” The guys quickly did as ordered and wonder if they provoked
her to anger. Yuki thinks that after she gets the basketballs ready, she’ll
change her clothes. She thinks that it is all because that idiot said those
strange stuff <- Shou telling them to thank Yuki. In the storage room, Yuki looks
at the whistle. Recalling how they thanked her, she wipes a tear and thinks
that there is absolutely no need for two whistles. Standing beside her, Shou
looks at her and asks if she’s crying. Yuki is shock that he is there. She
angrily says that she isn’t crying. He says that her nose is red. She says that
it isn’t red, okay, quickly go to practice. Shou leans down to her and says,
“Senpai, next time, I’ll definitely make you say ‘like’ me.” Surprised Yuki
says, “Wait..*low voice* the door..” Shou asks if the door is closed, it is
okay. Yuki nervously whispers no, she is saying that he quickly go out..
Holding her face to him, Shou leans closer to her. Yuki blushes and thinks that
she’ll be kissed. She closes her eyes. Shou gives her a headbutt. While Yuki is
speechless and puzzled, Shou prepares to leave. He says, “Okay, you’ve closed
your eyes-- I already won.” Blushing red, Yuki angrily shouts, ‘Eh-’ Narration:
“I still haven’t lost to you!!! *nervous* Why did I close my eyes.. Why did I
close my eyes just now..!!”
Comment: And, to
prolong the series, Yuki is currently in denial but then, based on her logic,
she does do not feel any love at all for Shou..it is more irritation and
annoyance so that couldn’t be love is it? Well, she doesn’t have the urge to
touch, kiss and other lovey-dovey stuff. Since she is the manager of a club,
she is using her responsibilities and work to forget about Shou..or rather, a
way of escaping from confronting what she feels for him..well, for now, it is
like stopping herself from thinking about anything related to him. And, Shou
isn’t the type who’ll easily give up. His excuse to walk home together with her
is really amusing. I guess it is reactions like that among other things that
Yuki couldn’t take him seriously and think that he is just some kid. Sometimes
I wonder if Shou has foreign blood..aside from being very tall, his behavior
isn’t typically Japanese..unless the mangaka just wants to portray him as a
cheeky youngster. Actually, Yuki shouldn’t be too hard on herself over how Shou
is ‘manipulating’ her and being kind of rude..he is really like that even with
the other senpais. ^^;; And, since they are all nice, Shou can get away with
it. I’m amused over how the mangaka is portraying the guys – ‘into girls’ and
in some way, they are the ‘funny guys/idiots’ to somewhat balance the serious
looking main couple ^^ I find them very likable. It is nice how Shou made them
appreciate Yuki. She is really quite responsible, dedicated and thorough in her
work. She is really moved by their thanks especially since she doesn’t expect
it at all. Unfortunately for her, Shou saw her again in that kind of situation.
=P And Shou had once again made her somewhat admit that she has feelings for
him. ^^ Scans by 红莲汉化组

ReplyDeleteThanks for reading, Atalia ^-^
DeleteIn a way..ya..seems like denial to me.
Yup ^^
Thanks for the chapter Kat <3
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading, Bryan ^-^
DeleteWaha3 that pose on the first page! Lmao! Her foot on his chest! That was intelligent of her to do that since you hardly see girls in manga doing that to prevent being kissed lol. Oh the part where he looked at the porn mag too! Lmao! I don't know if it was intentional so as if he didn't hear what she said or if he can be easily distracted by a porn lol And the last part where he said he won when she closed her eyes... what a tease!
ReplyDeleteHappy valentine's day kat!! This really made my day! Thanks you soo much! ♡
Yup ^^

DeleteThank you for your summaries kat...i really apreciate it...
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading and glad to hear that ^^
DeleteAnd i thought there will be more of sweet, lovey-dovey scenes here after the confession.. but Yuki came to deny her feelings.. Though the feeling might not be love, but base on her reactions, she really likes Shou! and for her to close her eyes? she is expecting! hehehe.. she should have done the same as the first page to get away..
ReplyDeleteShou on the other hand, is so like a brat, doing what he wants, and frank as always..he is romantic in his own way.. well, yeah, maybe he has some foreign blood or maybe he spent some years abroad or was brought up abroad - liberated.. but its thoughtful of him to talk to other team members regarding Yuki's situation.. he really likes her.. And, i like his height too, i like tall guys same as lead men of Suki-tte ii nayo, skip beat, 17-sai.. ^^
I'm waiting for love triangle with Shou here, to make Yuki realize her feelings more.. and to make this story longer.. ;-) Thanks again for the hardwork, Ms. Kat!!
Hehehe..and ya, not much lovey-dovey here. And, she is expecting ^^
DeleteYup ^^ that is quite possible.
