Chapter 27: After
the ‘kiss’, it was revealed that it was only on the cheek. Yuuma just warns her
to be on her guard because if she’s too near, he’ll have ‘that kind of
thinking’. This irks Tsubasa that she says who cares about him and left.
Going out of the storage room, Yuuma learns from Yoshinari
that Aki was about to go inside to return the ball. At the train station,
Tsubasa meets up with Aki. Aki asks why she is alone. She is puzzled but
realizes that he is referring to Yuuma. She says that she changed her mind [about
going with Yuuma].
Tsubasa asks him if he’s hungry so she gives him a candy of
mango flavor which she thinks is the most delicious flavor. He thanks her. He
starts rambling about ‘right now I still don’t quite know’ so he is always
thinking over it but finally, he understands.
Aki looks at her and is about to say something. Since he is
always looking at her, Tsubasa blushes. Her heart beats so loud that she
couldn’t hear anything. And, Yuuma arrives and asks what they are talking
about.
Yuuma asks why Tsubasa didn’t say that she’ll be going
ahead. He wanted to bring up that topic earlier so Tsubasa immediately tries to
shut him up by saying that it is erased from her memory and they just treat it
as if nothing had happened.
Tsubasa asks if he put ice on his hand. Yuuma says no
because didn’t she left first. So, she decides to buy some ice and tells Aki to
leave ahead if the train arrives. Aki asks if he can also wait for her. She
blushes and says okay, she’ll quickly come back.
Yuuma asks if he isn’t going ahead and isn’t he hungry. Aki
says no. Yuuma says that he seems to be in a bad mood and did he go in the
storage room earlier when he and Tsubasa are inside. Aki admits that he did.
Yuuma starts to say that it is strange that he’ll [Aki] be
jittery when it has nothing to do with him whatever happens between him [Yuuma]
and Tsubasa. Or, is he saying that right now, he thinks that Tsubasa still
likes him. Aki says that he didn’t think of that, it is simply because he likes
Tsubasa. This surprises Yuuma.
Chapter 28: Yuuma
says that Aki finally admitted it and they are love rivals. He also likes
Tsubasa so if he [Aki] can quietly back off then that will make him happy. Aki
says that he knows that right now it is already too late but if Yuuma makes
Tsubasa feel troubled then he won’t back off.
Tsubasa returns and finds the two guys in a dark mood.
Tsubasa feels uneasy sitting between the two guys in the train. Yuuma is about
to get off the train when he asks Tsubasa to come fetch him again tomorrow.
Tsubasa tries to decline for he seems fine and didn’t she say that she doesn’t
care about him.
Yuuma says that even if she said that, but she’ll still come
right? And, he thanks her for the ice. This surprises Tsubasa and makes her
gloomy for she felt that she lost. Aki asks about Tsubasa fetching Yuuma every
morning. She says that it is only while he is still injured and since it is his
right hand, it must be quite inconvenient. Aki says that Yuuma looks fine.
Tsubasa says that’s right, he looks.. Then, she thinks that
in the end, he was injured because of her. Soon, they reach her station. Aki
tells her that when Yuuma’s injury get well, can she accompany him for morning
practice, even if Yuuma won’t be happy.. He says that he feels lonely without
her. Blushing, she shouts that she’ll definitely go, promise! He holds out his
pinky finger.
After the train left, Tsubasa also holds out her pinky
finger. Then, she becomes puzzled over why Yuuma will be unhappy. Tsubasa
arrives home. Her mother mentions about Hayabusa eating first and he’s already
sleeping for he’ll be entering the next school year. Tsubasa goes in to her
younger brother’s room. She leaves a note of encouragement and some candies.
At school, Yuri talks with Tsubasa about the need to recruit
new members for their club. Then, they got Aki, Yuuma and Yoshinari to help
them out. While some [junior high] people are checking if they passed in the
high school, club members are trying to invite the new students to their club.
Tsubasa is worried about her young brother if he already knows the result.
Some girls want to join the basketball club because of Yuuma
but Yuuma tells them to join the female basketball team. Yoshinari scolds Yuuma
for being cold. Yuri thinks that even if Yuuma is good in getting attraction
but it has an opposite effect with women.
So, Yuuma suggests this.. He holds hand with Tsubasa and
says that it will deter the girls if they think he is going steady with the
manager. Tsubasa tells him to let go but he claims that his right hand won’t
move as he wish.
Tsubasa exclaims that with such strength, it is definitely
well already. She is all nervous until Aki separates them. Yuuma asks what he
can do for him. Tsubasa notices that there is something wrong between the two.
Aki suggests to Tsubasa that they go to the other side.
Tsubasa tries to explain that Yuuma is just joking and it
doesn’t have any special meaning. Aki apologizes if he did something
unnecessary. She says not at all, and she is in a difficult position when he
couldn’t let go. He offers his arm for her to try to pull. She did with all her
strength but she couldn’t do it.
Aki suddenly pulls her to him and says that her strength is
too weak. This made her drop the flyers. Hachiya found his name in the list. A
white-haired guy was given a flyer. While Aki helps Tsubasa pick up the flyers,
a girl finds the basketball manager position interesting.
Chapter 29: On
the new school year, Tsubasa and her younger brother goes to school. Hachiya
leaves his sister to go to his class. Tsubasa and others are nervous about
being separated. They meet up with the other guys. Tsubasa hopes to be in the
same class with Aki. Yoshinari is in the same class 1 with Aki, so is Yuri and
Yonehara.
Everyone is in section 1 but Tsubasa couldn’t find her name.
Aki comforts her by saying that they can see each other during club activity.
And to her shock, Tsubasa learns that she’ll be in the same class as Yuuma in
section 6. He is about to reach for her hand but she quickly backs off. Yuuma
says that she learns well and it is good to be vigilant.
Tsubasa thinks that Yuuma’s injury is already well so she
won’t let him pull her by the nose again. And, she is stunned that he is her
seatmate. Yuuma keeps on smiling over this and says that they’ll be together in
class and during club activity.
To Yuuma’s irritation, Ran is also in their class. Ran wants
to be good buddies with them since they don’t know a lot of the other students.
Tsubasa agrees but Yuuma doesn’t want to.
Soon, everyone goes to the gym. Hayabusa joins the club along
with his friend, the white haired guy. WH says that the siblings look alike.
While the other greets Hayabusa, the girl who picked up the flyer arrives and
says that she wants to become the manager.
They introduce themselves and why they want to join. White
haired guy is Tendou Ayumu [guesswork from 天道歩]. Girl is Souma Hina [guesswork
from 相馬陽菜]
who is influenced by her brother in playing basketball. Her brother is the one
from some other school whom they played against in the Winter Cup [I think].
And rather than cheering for her brother whom she thinks is
a clueless narcissist idiot, she wants to help Tsubasa’s school in defeating
her brother. Tsubasa lets Hina be in charge of the timer. Soon, Hina is
watching the game. When Tsubasa comes to check on her, Hina starts saying her
somewhat negative assessment of the players.
This made Tsubasa reprimand her for being rude [to her
senpai] even if analyzing is a good thing. She also defends Aki. Hina
apologizes and starts to say that she likes Tsubasa. She starts being friendly
with Tsubasa by wanting to call her by her first name.
The coach arrives and they are going to have a competition
to check their skill level. During the game, Hina is watching Aki. After the
game, Tsubasa is quite pleased with Aki’s scores. Hina immediately goes to Aki.
She asks for his full name then starts raving over how amazing he is and he can
definitely defeat her brother. This made Aki smile and thank her. While they
keep on talking, Tsubas starts to feel a bit uneasy.
Chapter 30: Yuri
suggests that they hold a training camp inside the school and they’ll stay at
the school’s dorm. Also, there will be a welcome party for the newcomers. This
is the usual practice every year wherein at night, they’ll have a fun activity.
Tsubasa asks Aki about this since she didn’t join the club until later on.
Aki had just realized that it is so. He comments that it
feels that she was with them from the start. Yoshinari comments that speaking
of last year, Tsubasa is known as a stalker of a second year student. Hina
talks about this stalker thing and says that it is normal for if one likes
someone. If one isn’t proactive about it, then nothing will happen.
She says that she is the type who’ll go in an all-out
offensive. With that, Hina asks if Aki is also that kind of type. He seems like
a herbivore but during the game, he is a carnivore, and that is a compliment.
Tsubasa feels uneasy over Hina’s praises to Aki.
Yuuma comments to Tsubasa that it really makes one uneasy,
right. He says that there’s nothing to worry because Aki is at his wits’s end
towards a rampaging girl who won’t take into consideration of the other party’s
reaction. But, speaking of that, it seems that it is only with a rampaging girl
whom Aki can become intimate with. In the end, he is a person who’ll wait for
others to make the move.
Yuuma says that perhaps those two suits each other. Blocking
what Yuuma said from her mind, Tsubasa just exclaims that it is a good thing
for the members to become in good terms with each other! She tells herself that
there’s nothing to worry about, this is good, and training camp is going to be
fun!! Soon, everyone goes to their dorm and Tsubasa tells them to go to training
after they leave the luggage in their rooms.
Soon, the guys are jogging in the forest. During the 10
minute rest, Hina gives some water to everyone. Hina is being overly familiar
with everyone by calling their first names. Yuri comments that the first years
really strive hard but aren’t the second years a bit jaded.
The two second years say that they just don’t treat it as
the real thing. Hina asks is that so then when would they treat it for real. If
they do not treat it for real during training could it be that they can do it
during the competition. Hina suddenly feels the mood becoming bad. Tsubasa
immediately diffuses it by telling Hina that they are going back to the gym.
After training, the guys are taking a bath. The other guys
are complaining over Hina. Yuuma comments that girl’s personality can
antagonize people. Aki just keeps quiet. In their room, Hina talks with Tsubasa
over what she puts on her hair to make it soft. Tsubasa shows her the hair
essence she uses and suggests that Hina tries it out.
Yuri tells them that it is time to go to the dining hall.
When Tsubasa goes out of the room, she is surprised to see Aki who asks if it
is already time to eat. She tells him that the managers are still going to
prepare dinner. He smiles and says that this is the first time when they get to
talk with each other. She says yes for they are quite busy.
Hina comes out and says that the hair essence is really
fragrant. Tsubasa says that’s great. Tsubasa is surprised when Aki tells Hina
to come over to him after dinner. Hina says okay and what’s up. He says that
he’ll tell her later on. Hina asks Tsubasa what is it. Tsubasa just repeats
what she said.
While eating Yuuma says that he’ll share half of his food to
Aki. Yoshinari says that Yuuma really eats quite little. Yuuma says that it is
Aki’s appetite that is unusual. Tsubasa eats absentmindedly. She is very curious
over the reason why Aki would call out Hina. She thinks that it is because she [Tsubasa]
is being complacent.
They only meet during club activity and there were no other
girls whom Aki had a good relationship with. She was depending on her manager
status to create a special bond with Aki but right now, it is already--... Soon,
everyone meets up. Aki and Hina are not there but they arrive soon enough.
Yoshinari says that they are going to have a test of courage
game as the welcome party. While Tsubasa is freaking out, Yoshinari starts
telling them about the story some ten years ago, the basketball club manager
has died in the gym’s storage room. It is because after the club activity, she
stayed at school looking for her whistle.
Unfortunately, while looking for it, she died because of an
accident. So until now, she’ll appear at night. With blood all over, she would
ask, “Have you seen my whistle.. The one who hid my whistle is you, right..?
The one who snatched away my whistle..IS YOU!!!”
With Tsubasa and a few others getting scared, Yoshinari says
that they are now going to draw lots to form groups of two to offer up a
whistle. Ayumu asks Hayabusa and Tsubasa if they are afraid. Trembling, the two
denies it and say that it is just very dangerous at night. Hina asks where Yuri
and the other third year students are. Yoshinari says that they are probably sleeping.
And since Tsubasa didn’t join it last year, she has to play
with them as the first year. The pairing is a second year and a first year
student. Tsubasa becomes excited because she’ll have an opportunity to be with
Aki. She is curious what he and Hina had talked about. Aki got number one. Just
when Tsubasa is about to get her stick, Hina says that she is also number one.
Tsubasa is in shock. Hina thanks Aki about that thing a
while ago. Tsubasa gets one of the sticks. Yoshinari says that it is number 2.
Who is number two? Why, of course, it is super lucky this year, smiling
Yuuma-kun. “I’ll be under your care, Sonokawa♥” Tsubasa is aghast and
surprised.
Comment: And, we
have a four sided love polygon. Honestly, it isn’t quite fun to read how Hina
is able to ‘outplay’ Tsubasa. Still, even if I know Yuuma doesn’t have a chance
but he is getting a lot of ‘lucky scenes and breaks’ so I’ve decided to briefly
summarize this again.
After the confrontation between the guys, Aki is still not that
proactive. Now, a new character is here and it is leading to some
misunderstanding and uneasiness on Tsubasa’s part. I think Aki just talked with
Hina about being too outspoken that rubs others the wrong way. Anyway, from the
looks of things, those two won’t be getting together yet and if they do, it is
most likely, the end of the series. Scans by all★wink汉化组
Word of the day:
You may not be able to choose your lot in life, but you can
choose how to handle your lot. ‘Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your
life, what you will eat, or what you will drink’ nor about your body, what you
will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?

Thanks for this.
ReplyDeleteYeahh, Tsubasa is too stupid (sorry for the word), I was kind of angry that she believed Hina like that. At least, Hina showed some regrets, I'm now waiting for her to tell the truth to Tsubasa and apologize (because Tsubasa will probably never talk about it to Aki!)
You're welcome, Hellayne ^-^
DeleteTrue..but then, most shoujo female leads are like that. ^^;
ohh four sided love polygon aha..its getting interesting~>< but well,i dont really like if the rival/new chara appeared..hehe but the story wont go well if the rival not appear right? honestly, i love to see Tsubasa with Yuuma but why that girl always be there..ive forgot her name, i thinj it is midzuki Ran? im not so sure..:c Somewhere i would think in the end of this story, Yuuma end up dating her.. but i want him with Tsubasa~~ --
ReplyDeleteHm..AhnDaniA, let's just say that it will be a stalemate since Aki isn't really proactive.
DeleteI rather have Yuuma be single rather than with that other girl. Ending up with Tsubasa..the possibility is low since I'm sure that no matter what, Aki is 'the one'.
Please stop giving me hope Yuumaaaa.. You have no chance :(
ReplyDeleteBut I like you soo much for Tsubasa.
Ya...Jean.
DeleteReally..hehe ^^ But Tsubasa is the 'prize' even if she doesn't seem deserving =P
Kat-san. Arigatōgozaimashita :)
DeleteLooking forward for the next chapters.hehehe
You're welcome, Jean ^-^
DeleteSo far I'm rooting for the Yuuma...on the cover it shows a blonde holding an umbrella for the girl so who knows, the blonde might be the lucky guy
DeleteLike Fruit Baskets, mc ended up with the cat instead of Yuki
Maybe but usually, if a couple had already went steady, the chances are very very low.
DeleteI want here to chose akki
DeleteWell, he is the chosen one, Anonymous. ^^
DeleteI've started to like Yuuma for Tsubasa early on. Aki is so lame. And Yuuma is right... Aki is the type who will become alive with someone like Hina.... Aki will never o anything on his own.
ReplyDeleteI'm really hoping Tsubasa ends up with Yuuma. I'm feeling this second guy syndrome again.
Ya, megaworthit.
DeleteHm..even if I'm hoping for that, I'm not keeping my expectations high. I tend to have that with this mangaka. ^^;;
Please! Yuma and tsubasa together they look good together
ReplyDeleteAlas, Nikita....
DeleteI'm looking forward to the next part
DeleteFirst I was like aki and tsubasa are cute together as couple because aki cared for her but than hina showed up and now it's like tsubasa and Yuma and from the start the who understand true feelings of tsubasa was only Yuma
DeleteSo now tsubasa and Yuma
I agree but then, he isn't the one she loves so...
DeleteAnd kat thank you for comment
DeleteYa! Ooh it's so complicated
Delete=)
Deletethank you for sammeries but i wish it was dialoge by dialoge that would be fun
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading ^-^
DeleteAh, for that, wait for the scanlators ^^
