Yuki recalls how she and
Shou reassured each other that it is alright and Shou saying that he always
just gaze on her-- Thud. Yuki has fallen from her bed. Hugging her pillow, Yuki
gloomily thinks that her it is that again. These past several days she is always
in a kind of baffling endless heart pounding mode and it is probably because of
that date..
Recalling their kiss,
she blushes really red. Then, she notices that the sky is still very dark so
what time is it.. She is surprised that it is 5am. It has already been her
habit to wake up early for morning practice. She thinks that if she couldn’t
sleep then might as well go study. Her heart kept on pounding but she had
become a bit at ease.
At the gym, Himiko and
Abe are surprised to see Yuki visiting them at the gym while everyone else is
busy practicing. After the girls greet each other a good morning, Abe asks
what’s up, is she going to viciously lecture the new basketball club.
Yuki says that she isn’t
going to do that kind of thing. Holding a big plastic jug, Yuki says that she
made lemonade for everyone to drink. Then, she glances at Yuki who passes the
ball to Noda. Noda manages to shoot the ball into the basket.
While some guy says that
the situation is quite good, Shou calls out to nervous Noda and pats his head.
Shou tells him that he did that beautifully. Noda is all pumped up over the
compliment that he’ll keep on doing his best. Yuki muses that it feels like
Shou had become more like a captain yet it seems not quite right. [<-
probably unused to Shou being like that?]
Swinging his uniform,
Shou says that they’ll have a 5 minute break. Yuki finds it fascinating yet it
is really quite repulsive..no, it isn’t at all repulsive.. Going out, Yuki says
then, good luck to everyone. Himiko says that she’s leaving when everyone is
going to have a break.. Yuki says no, she still has something to do..
While Shou is glancing
at the door, the others are asking who brought the lemonade. Looking at her
cellphone, Yuki thinks that there is still an hour before class starts so
she’ll first lend the library key and stay there for a while. She is surprised
when something suddenly hugged her <- basically Shou is slumping his whole
body on her back.
Shou asks if she came to
see him. Yuki angrily denies it for she just gave them something, some
lemonade. Shou asks what she’ll give him. She tells him that she said that she
brought lemonade. He asks how about something just for him. She angrily says
that there is no such thing..
Shou kisses her cheek
and lets her go. While Yuki blushes really red over that, Shou says that today,
after class, training will be up to 630pm so how about her, will she always be
staying at that store to study. Yuki says about that, she is going to cram
class today. He asks if the cram class is going to start today.
Yuki says yes, and it
will probably end at around 9pm so he should go home first. He says that he’ll
wait for her. After a pause, she says no, it’s very cold. He tells her that
he’ll wait in a store. She says no, for flu tends to spread [during this
season] and besides, he is definitely very tired after the practice.
Shou asks what? He asks
if he is in the way if he waits for her, is Shizuka coming. Yuki shouts no, she
is concerned about his health. Shou says that since she is putting it that way,
if he didn’t go home together with her, he’ll feel unwell all over and even
want to puke. Surprised Yuki mentally tells him not to talk nonsense.
At Misuzu gym, Shizuka’s
practice is doing well. During the break, a guy tells Shizuka that the
situation is very good and if they maintain that, they’ll definitely get a good
performance in next week’s Winter Cup. Kira laughs and says that speaking of
Winter Cup, did Shizuka cleverly invite that girl out?
Shizuka tells him to
shut up with that way of saying it. The other guy asks if Shizuka has a
girlfriend. Kira says no, it isn’t like that at all. Recalling inviting Yuki to
watch, she said yes and she thought that he hated her, Shizuka wonders if Yuki
will come and watch.
When she asked him
whether or not he hated her, he seriously thought over it and noticed that it
isn’t like that at all. In the end, it isn’t..next time they meet, he’ll
definitely figure it out what his feelings towards that person is. And cram
school has ended at 9:15pm.
After fixing her things,
Yuki thinks that even if today is the first cram class but perhaps, rather than
studying alone, this is more effective at this last stage. Outside the
building, Yuki takes out her cellphone and wonders if Shou is already sleeping
or she should send him a message that she just finished [her class]. She felt
that this morning, Shou had racked his brains to get her consent.
Flashback: Shou claimed
that he’ll have a fever if he didn’t go home with her. Yuki asked how can that
be. Shou claimed that if they didn’t go home together, he’ll die. Yuki insisted
that he go home first. End flashback. Yuki thinks that there is club activity
practically everyday and not so long ago, he just became a captain so she
doesn’t want to add more unnecessary burden on him.
Seeing a message from
Shou at 18:45 saying that club activity is over, Yuki sends him a message that
cram class has just ended and she’ll immediately go home. She freezes when Shou
who is sitting at the side says, otsukare [good job].
After a pause, she asks
what he is doing. He says that he’s waiting for her. She says not, ‘I’m waiting
for you’ so what is he doing. Shou says so he’s saying that he’s waiting for..
Yuki scolds him that she said not to wait for her and go home early so why
didn’t he listen. Also, he’ll catch a cold sitting in this kind of place.
Shou tells her that a
while ago, he was always in the café. Yuki shouts it isn’t that!! She reminds
me that there is a morning practice tomorrow and he is the captain, he is the
core of the team so properly rest is also part of his job. Yuki really couldn’t
understand this idiot..
Standing up, Shou says
that she is definitely thinking how come this idiot cannot understand. This
surprises Yuki. Shou says but the idiot is her for does she even knew how many
more days when they can be like this together. Yuki tries to answer but he says
forget it, it’s cold, he’s going home. Yuki thinks that this is bad.
While taking a bath,
Yuki thinks that indeed, how many more times they can meet each other like this
before graduation. Being in the same school, they can pass by each other, occasionally
talk, go home together.. Yuki recalls Shou admitting to her that he is very
worried after she graduates and goes to college.
She realizes that she is
always ignoring his feeling and in his own way, Shou is striving hard to
cherish their continuously decreasing time [together]. Blowing bubbles in the
water, Yuki thinks no..she knows that..and even if she knows but no matter
what, she cannot make him always wait for her until the end of the cram school
so she has to take out some other time..
To her surprise, third
triplet suddenly opens the door and calls out to her. She says, hey, are you
stupid? He tells her that it seems that their mother is busy at work so he’ll
be asking her to prepare their bento for tomorrow. Yuki says that she knows
already so quickly close the door.
Then, Yuki realizes
something. While cooking, Yuki thinks that even if they cannot be together
after school, there is still lunch break. No, even if the risk is quite high
but at least, before graduation, she’ll try this out once..for this is a
required item for lovers studying in the same school..! That is ‘Eat bento
together’!!
The lunch school bell is
ringing. From the corner, Yuki looks at class 2-C and thinks that even if she
aggressively came to this place but how would she find the opportunity to grab
Shou. She is surprised when Arisa slightly pushes her and calls out to her.
Arisa asks what’s up and
it’s rare for Yuki to come to the second year class. Yuki says no..today
is..that.. Noticing the bag that Yuki is holding, Arisa calls out that senpai Yuki
is calling for Shou and she heard that senpai is going to lecture him. Shocked
Yuki tries to stop Arisa but Shou had already come out of his class.
Arisa laughs and says
then, she’ll be going ahead. Shou asks Yuki if she already ate lunch. Yuki is
all tense for this is no good because in this kind of situation, a lot of
people will pay attention if she says, ‘let’s eat lunch together, how about it’..
She tries to be brave but they were interrupted by a couple of girls [seems to
be Arisa’s friends].
They call out to Shou
and say that they think that he is definitely so slow that he won’t have time
to buy lunch so here you go. They greeted Yuki and shove a piece of bread to
Shou. They say that they already help him buy curry bread. Shou says amazing.
They say that it isn’t ‘amazing’
but it should be ‘thank you’. As Shou starts to eat the bread, Yuki tightly
holds the bag. Shou asks her what is it, is it about the club activity. In the
end, she says that no..it’s nothing. She totally wasn’t able to grab the
opportunity. While eating lunch with Yuki, her friends ask where she went.
She says nothing. She
thinks that no..it is because even if she isn’t quite sure but it feels that he
is always surrounded by girls. Ultimately, the only place that she can think of
where they can be alone is the activity room but perhaps, Himiko is working
there and besides, it won’t be natural for someone who already retired to be
there..
Looking at the bag, Yuki
thinks that she can still say these words of ‘continue to strive hard tomorrow’
several times. Recalling Shou telling her if she knows how many days they can
still be together like this, Yuki slightly scowls and thinks ‘tomorrow,
tomorrow’ what is that for she doesn’t have the luxury [of time] to say those
words.
After school dismissal,
at the shoe lockers, Yuki thinks that she has one leftover bento but forget it,
when she’s hungry at cram class.. Shou calls out to her and says that it is
great that she didn’t leave yet and did she look at LIME [pun for LINE;
internet messaging app]. Yuki admits that she didn’t. He calls her stupid for
she should look.
Yuki asks what about
club activity. He says that it is a rest day and it seems that there is an
emergency maintenance. She says is that so. He leans to her and says ya,
so..before the start of her cram class, he wants to be with her. This made her
blush and drop the bento bag.
Picking it up, Shou says
that there is still something inside, didn’t she eat? She says that.. Shou says
by the way, she didn’t come to tell him about the gym’s maintenance during
lunch so what’s up. Clenching her fist, Yuki blushes and says that is..she
wanted to eat lunch together with him..so she made..bento.. This surprises
Shou.
Taking the bag from him,
she hurriedly says no..it is alright if he doesn’t want to and she’ll just bring
it with her to the cram class and eat it as dinner.. To her surprise, Shou
grabs her wrist and tells her to come over here for a while. She tells him to
wait..they’ll be seen..wha..what..
And, they head out the emergency
exit. While walking upstairs, shivering Yuki says that it is really cold out
here. It is shady yet windy. Shivering Shou says yes, so there is absolutely no
one who will come here on winter day. To her surprise, he says to let him see
that bento.
Sitting beside him, Yuki
says that it is okay but it doesn’t have any interesting stuff inside. He asks
if it is ordinary. She says that it is very ordinary. He opens the bento box. There
is rice, pickled plum, salad, sausages, egg roll [/tamagoyaki] and fried
chicken [/karaage].
Yuki is puzzled why he
would take his cellphone and take a picture of it. He asks if she made all of
it. She says yes. Opening his mouth, Shou asks for her to feed him. Yuki really
wanted to say, ‘are you stupid?’ but then, he is waiting for her to do it.. So,
Yuki uses a toothpick to pick up the egg roll and feed Shou with it.
After he ate it, Yuki
blushes really red and her heart is beating like a deer in front of
headlights..it hurts.. she wonders why. <- discovering a weak point. Shou is
happily eating the bento by himself when Yuki hears some cheer at the side. She
sees Himiko leading the cheering squad below. Yuki says that one can clearly
see the club room from this place.
Shou says yes, he always
used to watch from this place. He confesses that during first year, when there
is no club activity, he’ll go there to cool off in the shade. Then, he’ll
think, “Ah- that manager is still working during rest day’-something upon seeing
Yuki cleaning the club room’s door.
Yuki nervously asks if
he was always watching, stop that. Covering the bento box, Shou says that it is
useless to say that right now. Incidentally, there was an occasion when he
found that that she likes Kido. So from then on, every time he goes here, he’ll
always think of this thing.
“Ever since the time I
fallen in love with senpai, every time I go to this place, I’ll always think of
her.” This surprises Yuki and made her blush. Just then, a strong wind blows.
Shou puts her in his jacket. This made her blush as she says, ..wait. He tells
her, “So, most probably, even after you graduate, I would only have to come to
this place then I’ll have this kind of feeling of being with you..”
Yuki thinks, “There’s no
need to worry. It is totally our misconception that we feel that time is
becoming short. It is alright, Naruse.” Yuki says, “[about]..tha..that..you..you’re
not..allowed to bring other people here..” She slightly pouts and looks at him.
He smiles and rubs his head on hers.
He laughs and asks if
that meant, ‘not allowed to bring girls in the room’. [<- ah, maybe it meant
in this place? ^^;] Yuki angrily says she didn’t mean that and quickly let her
go, for the static electricity is really intense. Narration: “Our time together
isn’t at all decreasing but rather, it is accumulating bit by bit.”
Comment: And, that is another lovey-dovey chapter. Though the theme is quite
similar to how it was before. There is some hesitation and uneasiness from Yuki’s
part though when confronted, she’ll immediately deny that she is doing it for him.
Yuki means well since she is concerned about him. He also means well since he
wants to spend as much time with her as possible.
After realizing what his
intention is, Yuki decides to compromise by having lunch together instead.
Then, back to the hesitation and uneasiness and confrontation but this time,
she becomes more frank. Hehe, usually happens at the near end. And yes,
everything goes well from there on. ^^ Of course, with lovey-dovey scenes ^^
I guess the only time
when she isn’t that uneasy and hesitant over showing her affection is the time
when they can make their relationship public. Well, from this chapter, we
learned how Shou learned about Yuki’s feelings for Kido and how he start to
fall for her. He turns out that he’s always watching her there aside from
during club days.
Her ending narration is
indeed a positive way of thinking regarding their situation ^^ As for Shizuka,
I thought he already knew but it seems that he is still unsure over his
feelings for her. ^^; So, the Winter Cup thing is probably his closure
regarding Yuki. The next chapter will be out in Japan on June 20th. Scans

Thanks for the summary, Kat!
ReplyDeleteThey're so cute. Yuki doesn't like to be in the spotlight but instead support them from behind. Even if its their relationship since Shou is so popular it can't be helped. Once she feels more reassured of their relationship maybe then it will go public... or at least at graduation. She'll be leaving so no one can really tease her unless they go to the same college. Lol, I can't wait for the next chapter. By the way, Kat, do you know about the latest omake for Namaikizakari? I'm still waiting for it but I'm wondering if you saw it already.
Thanks for reading, Brittany ^-^
DeleteTrue..most likely.
Hehe...she probably would be okay with it during college =P
Nope, I haven't seen it yet.
Thanks Kat
ReplyDeleteD
You're welcome, D ^-^
Deletethank you for the summary Kat, Sho and Yuki still cute couple although their lovey-dovey seem different in this chapter and not many romance >.<
ReplyDeleteI Think part of Sho and Yuki Lovey-dovey slightly less no more kissing after their second dating, oh c'mon what wrong with the mangaka? be honest I was a little disappointed because I 've been waiting for 1 month and I think the relationship Sho and Yuki will make progress :'( but maybe the mangaka wants to save it for the next chapter,chapter 46 I hope! ^_^
Well Finally Shizuka already appears! though, he had not met again with his rival, Sho and yuki and he is still unsure over his feelings for Yuki?
oh yeah I just get information about namaikizakari vol 7 will be out in japan on June 20th, and Kat do you think in namaikizakari vol 7,the mangaka will make this manga become long story and create a love triangle Sho, Shizuka and Yuki become complicated when they meet again in the winter cup? I still wonder about it
see you again in The next chapter will be out in Japan on June 20th, Kat!><
Thanks for reading, candra ^-^
DeleteYa..probably saving that for later =P
Ya..he seems to be still unsure ^^;
No. I think the love triangle is pretty much resolved. I get the impression that the mangaka doesn't want to make her character be 'bad' so she won't let Shizuka be the type of jerk who'll steal someone's girlfriend. I would think that the Winter Cup is the time when Shizuka resolve his issue with Yuki and reinforce his basketball rivalry with Shou.
Till then.. ^^
Thanks Kat!
ReplyDeleteLove how they are both thinking of each other and the efforts to see each other. Love how they try to give assurance that nothings gonna change between them even if she goes to college and even if he becomes busy with club activities etc... etc... etc... Yuki and Shou has come a long way to progress to this point...
So looking forward for the next chapter... :-) ~G~
You're welcome, G ^-^
DeleteYup ^^
I thank you for the summary!
ReplyDeleteFeel-good chapters! Yay! I like these two as much as I did Usui and Ayuzawa.
So, I guess there will be a bout of gloom when this ends. I really hope my life turns into a cool manga before that happens.
I feel the same too like Usui and Ayuzawa.... love them too.. I hope after this ends they come out with English translation books.. ~G~
DeleteThanks for reading, Apurva ^-^
DeleteYup ^^ I think this and that couple is quite similar ^^
Gloom..how? I think it is wrapping up.
=)
@Anonymous Yeah, I'm hoping for the same. :)
Delete@Kat No, I just think I'd be gloomy after the series ends because there will be no more of the same artwork. ^_^"
Oh..I thought you mean gloomy in the story, Apurva. ^^;;
Deleteaww...she is such a tsundere!!i love them as a couple !Naruse is so caring ...even she feels embarrasing and shy ,but she love the attention naruse gives her..Hope there is no love triangle in the future...cause in the shoujo world the couple's cant stay lovey dovey for too long..there always has to be someone or something to make the story go on
ReplyDeleteTrue, Nayeem...unless the story is going to end soon.
DeleteThanks for the summary Kat! Enjoyed reading this chapter a lot! When is the next chapter coming out? Btw did you check out Black Goku?

Hm..the only one that I know that is very similar with this one is Kaichou wa Maidsama based on the relationship.
DeleteThen, there is Toshishita no Otokonoko, a senpai girl and kouhai boy in a cute way.
If you like the basketball stuff, there is Tsubasa no Hotaru. There is another basketball shoujo, Haru Matsu Bokura.I don't read this one but others like it.
