By Request: Tsubasa to Hotaru [Chapter 26]

[Free Talk: Request by Random]

Ding dong. From the video intercom, Tsubasa apologizes to Yuuma for suddenly coming over. Inside the house, Yuuma says that he is startled and could it be because she heard that he left early because he was injured so she particularly came to pay him a visit. “Actually, sorry, but it isn’t at all a wound that should be fussed about and it is a LITTLE sprain, that’s all.” He asks her if she wants to drink something even if his house only has tea and coffee. Noticing Yuuma putting his right hand in his pocket, Tsubasa asks him if he can let her see his right hand. Yuuma sighs and agrees to do so. After checking his hand, Tsubasa apologizes for it is because of her falling down the stairs that caused him to be injured. Yuuma says that he knows that she is going to say that but this has nothing to do with her. Tsubasa says it does for at that time, he looked in pain for a second. Even if she is stupid for not immediately realizing that he’s injured but why would he.. Yuuma calls her very annoying for he said that it has nothing to do with her so it already has nothing to do with her. Flustered over Yuuma’s stubbornness, Tsubasa says okay, before his right hand heals, she will be responsible in helping Yuuma out.

Yuuma says that he totally couldn’t see what she means by that. Tsubasa says that she’ll give her class notes to him. He says that they aren’t in the same section. Tsubasa says that in order not to burden his right hand, she’ll carry his things from the time they go to school until dismissal. Yuuma says that aside from the school bag, there is no other thing and it won’t be a burden since it is only a shoulder bag. Tsubasa shouts that in short, in order for it to get well earlier, she will do things for him so that his right hand would recuperate. “Please, you must leave it up to me!!” When Tsubasa is about to leave, she tells Yuuma that she’ll go and fetch him tomorrow. Ater she tells him that he should take care of himself, Yuuma says okay, okay. Tsubasa says that she will explain things to Yuri and she’ll leave it to Yuuma to tell the captain and coach. Yuuma asks if she is planning to return to school. Tsubasa says that she won’t go and besides, the club activity is over so what’s up. Yuuma says that even if standing on his position, it is not a problem for him that she forgot. “But did you give the chocolate to Aki?” Tsubasa goes into shock. Yuuma asks what’s up that she forgot about that.

In horror, Tsubasa says that always until now, she forgot about it but then, she was very uneasy upon hearing that Yuuma is injured. Her heart is telling her that no matter what, she must go to Yuuma’s house and afterwards, she totally forgot about the chocolate. Tsubasa wonders what to do for even if she hurries to school right now..and it wasn’t easy to do her best and Friend [to make the chocolate]. She basically prepared to formally confess one more time. Yuuma says so that’s how it is, she’s saying that compared to Aki, Tsubasa is more concerned about him. Aghast Tsubasa says that it isn’t so and he’s thinking too much. Yuuma says it turns out that it isn’t, so she particularly ran to his house just to look.. Tsubasa says that it isn’t, for she is really worried about him so she came. Yuuma smiles. Tsubasa becomes flustered for he cunningly made her say that. Yuuma thanks her and this made him happier than receiving chocolate. At school, Yuri[?] tells Friend that the basketball club’s practice ought to be finished for the people are coming out. She sees Yoshinari so she tells Friend to go. Friend says to wait.. Yuri tells her not to ‘wait’ for right now, if she doesn’t give it, she won’t be able to give it today. Friend exclaims okay.

She calls out to Yoshinari. He asks why she is still in school and he recalls that they don’t have club activity today. Friend says that’s right. Upon noticing the bag that Friend is carrying, Aki quickly says that he’ll go ahead. Yuri also bids them goodbye. Yoshinari is puzzled over it. At a convenient store, Aki bought a steamed bun. After going out, he is about to take a bite when he recalls the others talking about Tsubasa going to Yuuma’s house, holding hands during Christmas and are they going steady. Aki seems to have lost his appetite. At home, Tsubasa complains to her bird about not being able to give Aki the chocolate. While the bird is saying Aki’s name, Tsubasa thinks that if it is only a confession, then, it isn’t necessary that it has to be Vday but she wants him to eat her chocolate. She decides that no matter what, before Yuuma’s hand heals, her priority is to help him out and she’ll just re-plan again about the confession. In the meantime, she won’t go to morning practice so she must mention it to Aki. She messages that she’s very sorry but for the meantime, she and Yuuma won’t go to morning practice and they’ll come back after Yuuma’s hand is well. Aki replies okay.

Ding Dong. Smiling Yuuma greets Tsubasa a good morning and it is such a fresh and cool morning-- Tsubasa greets him a good morning and clarifies that even if she is very worried about him being injured but this worry absolutely doesn’t have any other meaning.. Yuuma says yes, yes, he already knows. Holding out her hands, she asks him to please give his bag to her. Yuuma ignores her and says that they’ll be late. Since he is already leaving, Tsubasa shouts for him to wait. Yuuma says that he already told her that he won’t use his hand since it is a shoulder bag and how can he let a girl carry his bag. Tsubasa shouts that if it is like that, then there is no meaning for her to particularly come over and fetch him. Yuuma says that he’s so happy for they’ll go to school together— Tsubasa is shock. In school, everyone is greeting Yuuma and ask about his hand since they’re worried. With gloomy Tsubasa, smiling Yuuma says that it is totally fine. He bids Tsubasa goodbye and see her at the club. Tsubasa asks if he’ll still go the club and is it to see the others. Yuuma says that even if he can only do basic training, he’ll still go for the meantime. Tsubasa says is that so, then after school, she’ll go and fetch him again. “And before that, if there is any other inconveniences, please don’t be polite with me!! Quickly tell me if you feel that your hand is somewhat different!!”

After she left, Yuuma thinks that she is acting spoiled. In front of her class, Tsubasa thinks that she absolutely shouldn’t let Yuuma pull her by the nose and her goal is to properly think of something to do for Yuuma’s hand. Then, she overhears Yoshinari exclaiming that Friend personally made that truffle chocolate and it is delicious. Friend says is that so, that’s great. During the club activity, the guys are shocked that Yoshinari has a girlfriend and they do not understand Friend’s preference. Tsubasa mentally congratulates Friend. She thinks that it is really amazing to be able to take the opportunity to smoothly confess and for them to successfully go steady. It is probably because they get along [/compatible]. Tsubasa decides to do her best next time. She notices Yuuma pushes a cart filled with basketballs and other stuff. She calls out to him and asks what he is doing by himself. Yuuma says that he is tiding up the equipment, that’s all. Tsubasa shouts that he cannot move such heavy things and leave that to her. The other guys say that it is one after another. [<- lovey-dovey] While the two are talking about contacting someone through LINE [messaging app] and how it went, Aki notices a basketball left at the side.

In the storage room, Tsubasa is reprimanding Yuuma that if his hand is sprained, first of all, he must let it rest have enough rest. She tells him that if he forces to use it, then it will take more time to recuperate. She asks if the doctor didn’t tell him that. Yuuma says that he told her that it isn’t a serious sprain. Upon seeing her looking flustered, he asks what’s up. She says that she doesn’t believe him because he always deceives her. She knows that he is thinking of her so he’s saying that yet she hates it more to see him enduring the pain. “So do not act like it is alright. If it hurts, then you definitely have to tell me.” After a pause, Yuuma says that it hurts a bit. Tsubasa immediately shouts if that’s true, let her see it, and it seems to be a bit hot. Tsubasa says that it is better for him to hurry and put ice on it then go home to rest. She wonders if there is still some leftover ice in the ice maker. Yuuma says, “Sonokawa, *holds her chin up to him* you have too many openings.” [<- something like you give me a lot of opportunity for me to take advantage of] Just then, holding the basketball, Aki goes in the storage room. He looks surprised upon seeing Yuuma holding Tsubasa’s hand and their faces are very close to each other.
