So, after their defeat in the competition, on the way home, for
some reason, Shou wasn’t himself so Yuki couldn’t help it but hold his hand.
Even if usual, she finds it difficult in dealing with the noisy Shou but him to
be out of character, it makes her feel somewhat uneasy. “This is the first time
that I endlessly feel distressed over my own willfulness.” Reading a manual,
Yuki thinks, ‘install’, ‘upgrade’, and ‘simple scan’. She finds it hard to use.
While having lunch with Yuki at school, her friends ask her what she is
reading. She tells them nothing, just a manual book. The other friend says that
it’s great that Yuki has a new recently released model [of smartphone]. Yuki
says yes, her family is always being noisy in making her use a new cellphone. Her
friend tells that her old cellphone is already like a fossil. Looking at her
cellphone, Yuki thinks that she isn’t good a new type of machine. She starts to
make plans on how to use it to get information that she can learn like being
able to easily research about the other schools’ competition situation and
details about the practice.
Shou suddenly pops out the hallway window where Yuki is
sitting and says that she changed her cellphone, so tell him her number. While
her friends are shock, Shou’s friend tells him to hurry for the curry bread is
about to be sold out. After they left, Yuki’s friends start to say that wasn’t
that Shou from the basketball club and didn’t Yuki say that during their club
activity, they don’t talk much yet isn’t he sticking around with her. They ask
Yuki what’s going on, and tell them his number. While she’s thinking that
idiotic brat, Yuki says that she also doesn’t know.. To Yuki’s surprise,
another girl says that she knows Shou’s number. While Yuki is speechless, the
girl asks how come. The other girl says that when Shou just entered the school,
everyone went to him and asked for it but then, when they call him, he won’t
answer. Someone says that no wonder he is a frivolous guy [/playboy]. Sipping
her milk, Yuki tensely thinks that she didn’t expect how broad Shou’s skimming
scope is. But forget it, she doesn’t have the strength to get involved with
that kind of thing now.
At the gym, Yuki gestures to the board regarding her
cheering and practice strategy. Yuki tells them that from today on, they will
be doing this solid plan in carrying out their training. A guy calls her
danchou..and corrects himself by asking if this is drawn up by manager Yuki. [<-
danchou as in leader of a group, in this case, seems to be of a cheering squad
like the ouendan] Yuki tells him that she proposed it and it was already
revised by the coach and Tonomura. Tonomura says that after the Kanto
tournament, it will be soon be the inter-school preliminary competition. He
reminds them that they can no longer continue on losing like the other day and
they must get prepared for war at all costs. They exclaim in approval. Yuki
thinks that for them, third-years, this will be the last summer and even if the
Kanto tournament has ended, they cannot just idle around. While folding the
towels in the club room, Yuki thinks that in short, before the next tournament,
she must definitely organize a cheering squad. She thinks that if she doesn’t,
her throat will be ruined from shouting, and the club members had started calling
her, danchou, behind her back.
Then, afterwards, it is almost time to look for a manager
who will replace her. Her thoughts are interrupted by Shou, who is lying
sideways on the floor, calling out, “..hey- I’m hungry. Can I go over and strip
off senpai’s clothes?” She thinks but first, she must deal with this
unfathomable talented person who is a porn jester. Shou asks if she isn’t
finished with work, so how about going to eat a bit and hold hands. She thinks
that since the day before yesterday, that cute meekness had disappeared into
the air. She tells him to go home and eat. He says that he won’t be able to
hold it until he gets home. “..by—the way, senpai, tell me your number.” She
tells him that it isn’t necessary and just use the network that they specially
use for club activity. She thinks who’ll tell him that kind of thing and she
foresees that she’ll just be distracted if she exchanged numbers with this guy.
Waving her hand to him, she tells him okay, okay, quickly go. Shou looks at her
waving hand.
Then, he suddenly bites her finger. Yuki screams in shock.
He tells her that he’s hungry. She wonders if he is some ferocious dog. She is
irked when he says, look, she has no way of concentrating so quickly give up
and let’s eat together. Yuki tells herself to calm down and not be pulled by
that same question on ‘what do I like about this guy’ and obviously, she found
out about it two days ago that she likes him when he chases the basketball
vigorously as if his life depended on it. In a restaurant, gloomy Yuki drinks
her beverage and looks at Shou with a stick of French Fries on his mouth. Shou
is fiddling with his cellphone. Yuki thinks that if there is no Shou, who is
vigorously chasing the basketball, he is totally a different person and just
now, she noticed this big problem. She mentally tells him that he dragged
someone here so don’t play with his cellphone. He asks her if she plays LIME.
[<- pun for LINE, internet text messaging app] She says that she does with
her friends. He asks what her username is. She asks why would she tell him..
Then, her cellphone is vibrating. She apologizes and says that it is her phone.
To her surprise, Shou takes her cellphone and looks at the
caller. It is Tonomura. Shou answers it. Tonomura asks why it is Shou, well, forget
it, is Yuki there since he has to talk about the club expenses and there is
something he has to confirm so give her the phone. He tells Tonomura that the
danchou is in the toilet so call back again. Yuki quickly grabs her cellphone
back and exclaims what he is doing. Shou says that she obviously won’t tell him
so why did she tell her number to Tonomura. She tells him that it is necessary
to have a way of contacting the captain. Grumpy Shou mutters that he’ll also
become a captain. This surprises Yuki that her heart is beating loudly. Shou
asks if she also gave her number to Kido. Yuki nervously says yes, because he
used to be the captain. Shou says ‘used to be captain’ and she used to like
him. In defeat, trembling Yuki says that she understands, if it is LIME then he
would have no objection. Then a couple of girls greet Shou and says that it has
been a long time. Yuki wonders if they are friends. Shou informs her that they
are his classmates during junior high.
Then, one of the girls asks if that person is Shou’s CURRENT
girlfriend. Yuki looks dark. The other girl laughs and asks who said, ‘Naruse
doesn’t have a girlfriend after going to high school’-- They start to ask Shou
if he changed his number since he won’t answer his phone for some time. They
ask him for his new cellphone number. Shou says that he doesn’t have time to
pay attention to them so go ask the marketplace/Ichinoi [市井; I’m not sure if it is a name or
he is telling them to ask around]. He tells them that right now, he is chatting
so quickly leave. The girls say how infuriating, hahaha, bye. Yuki casually
looks away while drinking her beverage. She thinks that the she, who isn’t the
‘current girlfriend’, fundamentally doesn’t have the right to be grouchy. In
her room, while studying on her desk, Yuki thinks that it won’t end if she
always thinks about Shou’s love experience, and she’ll lose if she thinks of
that issue. Then, her cellphone beeps. It is a message on LIME from Shou
saying, ‘so’. She is puzzled. Then, her cellphone beeps again. Shou adds,
‘boring [/idle]’, then he shows her a picture of a woman’s chest twice. She
thinks that he’s annoying to death and he’s so quick in sending it.
She tells herself to quietly think it over. She has someone
she likes whereas it is inevitable that Shou had one or two. So, regarding the
holding hands, it is impossible that she’s the first one whom he had held hands
with. She loudly bangs her head on the table and calls herself an idiot. Her
younger sisters are nervously asking what was that sound, thunder? Yuki thinks that
it is no good, she totally couldn’t concentrate. At the public basketball
court, Shizuka shoots the ball. He looks at the entrance and thinks that in the
end, also not coming today. He is startled when Yuki, who is standing by the
bench, asks who he is waiting for. Taking out the basketball from her bag, Yuki
greets him and says that it is already 830pm and is he going home right now. He
nervously says no..by the way..normally..does she go out at this time. Yuki
says no, normally, right now, she would be review her notes but today, she
wants to practice shooting the ball for she couldn’t concentrate on studying.
He nervously asks if it is because of Shou. This surprises Yuki.
She thinks that he always mentions about Shou and even if he
complains nonstop, he actually likes Shou. Yuki asks him if he is waiting for
Shou here. Shizuka exclaims that he is not, he is always waiting for her. This
surprises her. He shyly says that the competition the other day, he was
startled for it is the first time he saw a trainer-type of female manager who
would have such a devilish expression as she raised her voice and wildly
screamed. Yuki hopes that he pretend not to have seen that. Shizuka says that
he realizes that she was the one who had changed Shou and he extremely respects
[/revere] her. Blushing really red, he exclaims that he only wants to tell her
that. She says is that so. He apologizes and says that he’ll go ahead. He tries
to quickly grab his bag but the handle is stuck on the bench. He loses his
balance and falls down on Yuki who ends up sitting on the bench. Her hair
touches his hand that is holding the back of the bench to balance himself.
Then, a kid points out to them and exclaims, “Ah- Lovers-” The mother tells the
kid to be quiet.
Taking his bag, Shizuka apologizes and says that this time,
he’ll really go. And then, he runs off to bump into a bicycle. Yuki wonders
what to say. Looking at where he went, Yuki thinks that person really makes one
worry. Then, she notices that he had left his student id on the bench.
Recalling him saying that he extremely respects her, she thinks that is the
first time she heard that. Walking towards the clubroom, Yuki looks at the id
and thinks that Shizuka seems to be quite forgetful. Even if he is quite good
in basketball but he is very slow-witted. She plans to go to Misuzu and return
the id after the club activity. She wonders if it is true that she was the one
who changed Shou. Then, she bumps her head. She apologizes and sees that it is
Shou. Shou says that she hasn’t changed her clothes yet, so he’ll help her do
it. Yuki declines. Thinking that she was surprised by him, she says that he’s
quite early today even if there is still 20 minutes before the club activity
starts. He says that he is idle since his class ended early. Then, he asks what
she dropped. He picks up Shizuka’s id. Yuki thinks that it is over = she is
carrying Shizuka’s id -> she went to the park at night -> she is secretly
practicing shooting by herself -> technique is very bad -> Shou saying
‘you suck to death’.
She tensely thinks that she must somehow fool him. Shou asks
her how come she has Shizuka’s id. Looking away, she tells him that she just so
happen to pick it up. He asks where and when. Thinking that is the attack, Yuki
couldn’t say anything. Shou looks dark. Then, a girl, together with her friend,
calls out to Shou saying that Miki [guesswork from 美紀] wants to know his cellphone number. Yuki is telling
Shou that they are calling him when he suddenly grabs her wrist and pulls her
inside the club. He hugs her tight. Blushing Yuki is puzzled. She tries to push
him away but to her surprise, he kisses her. She tells him to stop and pushes
him away again but he grabs her again and kisses her again. [<- does it look
like a French kiss?] Yuki struggles and finally breaks away. She hits his head
and shouts what he is doing. She is stunned when he tells her not to meet up
with Shizuka again. He says that even if he doesn’t know what the two of them
are sneakily doing but do not see Shizuka again. It is only now that Yuki realizes
that Shou had a total misunderstanding. She thinks that this is bad, she was
too entangled about exposing her secret that she is practicing on her own that
she totally didn’t realize the situation. She realizes that this fool is always
concerned about her relationship with Shizuka. Wondering what to do, Yuki tries
to explain that it is at the park’s sports area that they’ve met a few times
and that’s all there is to it.
Shou asks if she gave Shizuka her number. She asks him up is
he going to keep on mentioning that phone number thing. He tells her that she’ll
definitely use the pretense of ‘in order to gather information--’ and casually
tell Shizuka her number. He reprimands her for being really foolish and naïve.
This angers Yuki. Shou continues to say even though it is a guy who has this ‘bashful’
expression, his brain is definitely also filled with obscene things. He tells
her that she doesn’t know that kind of thing yet she became a manager for a
male basketball team. “Don’t you know how dangerous it is?” Yuki thinks what is
that, when obviously, he is one, too. She shouts back that isn’t he the same,
since he knows a lot of girls’ telephone numbers. They look at each other. Yuki
thinks that she’s safe..no, perhaps, it is already exposed. While saying that
it has nothing to do with her, Yuki thinks that lately her emotional scale is
in chaos. Shou gets his cellphone from his bag in the locker. He gives her the
cellphone and says that if she doesn’t like it, then delete all of it. This
surprises her. He tells her that he also knows that this kind of thing is quite
annoying but he already couldn’t free himself from it. “..even if it is me,
this is also my first.”
Yuki darkly tells him to quit kidding her around. Serious
Shou says, “I’m not lying. ..Senpai, you are the first one who made me fall in
love like this.” This moved Yuki. He notices that she is fiddling with his
cellphone. Recalling him wanting her to erase everything, Yuki says forget it,
it isn’t necessary to particularly erase.. She gives him back his cellphone.
Then, he is surprised when his cellphone is ringing. Holding her cellphone to
her ear, Yuki tells him that is her number. This surprises Shou. Turning away
from him, she tells him that she’ll reject the call if he calls her for some
nonsense thing. Yuki thinks that she couldn’t endure it, just over a trivial
matter like phone-something, he’ll keep on whining about it. Yuki is surprised when
Shou suddenly glomps her from behind. He smiles and says that he’ll call her
100 times a day. This made her blush and become tense. She thinks that his
smile is enough to kill her. She complains that he’s heavy. He asks her to carry
him. She says of course no, and don’t be spoiled. She thinks that like this,
they’ll be an astonishingly willful duo. At the house, Yuki’s cellphone is ringing.
In bed, she answers it and asks, what. Shou tells her to go steady with him. She
says impossible, then, hangs up on him.
Comment: Hehe,
having a younger suitor has its good points and bad. He can be annoyingly
persistent and childish but cute and unrestrained in showing his feelings. And,
when one less expect it, he pulls a good one by saying that she’s the first one
had fallen in love that way. He really got her good. =P And the finale attack
was the smile. I don’t understand why he would send her pictures of a woman’s
chest. ^^; It’s very weird or he’s just really bored/horny. ^^;; So, it seems
that the next tournament will be their last one so maybe they’ll finally win
against Misuzu. Of course, it also means that Yuki is retiring as manager. I
wonder who’ll replace her. It is already hinted that Shou will be aiming to be
captain. I think he will still do it even if he already got her cellphone
number. Even if not pursuing Yuki..yet?, Shizuka is doing his role to get Shou
jealous =P Scans by 红莲汉化组
