Recalling Shizuka’s confession, Yuki thinks that honestly
speaking, this sudden confession and also that charming smile which is full of
warmth, it made her think that it’s very cute. “Yes. It made me remember my
younger brother (oldest) when he was in kindergarten.”
There is a scene of young Koushirou happily saying that
he’ll marry her. <- sudden burst of cuteness by a three year and two month
old boy. At the restaurant, while cooking his okonomiyaki, Shou says that is
saying can he consider that as Yuki not having a bit of concern for Shizuka.
Yuki tensely says no, it isn’t up to that degree because
after all, he is an acquaintance... Abe screams to wait, does that mean the possibility
of her and Shizuka going steady isn’t zero. Yuki calls him stupid for how can
she go steady with her younger brother.
She thinks that it wasn’t easy to block Shou from announcing
their relationship but it seems that no matter what, he wants to nullify that
confession in front of everyone. Shou says younger brother-whatever means that
as a guy, she basically do not consider him [Shizuka] as within her range [of
potential lover], right?
Yuki thinks that he already totally doesn’t care about what
other people’s opinion and it just won’t end. Yuki recalls the confession
again. She stands up and excuses herself to go to the toilet. Yuki thinks that
Shizuka likes her and that also mean that Shou’s guess before isn’t at all
illogical.
She recalls all the time she was screaming and insisting
that it isn’t what Shou think regarding what Shizuka thinks of her. She starts
to hit the wall with her fists. She thinks that she’s so stupid and just
thinking of her face at that time, it is sillier than ever!!
Standing behind her, Shou asks what she is agitated about.
She asks him what’s up that he’ll casually leave his seat because they’ll eat
all of the food up. He says no, he always felt that for Shizuka to be hiding in
the restaurant is also not a bit strange.
Yuki darkly says is that so. Yuki wonders how is it possible
that he is casually talking about nonsense things when he is currently standing
in that position. Looking at the side, Shou says that he isn’t expressing that
he mind it that much.
“I clearly understand senpai’s feelings. ...it is just that
he unexpectedly dared to confess earlier than me in front of everyone. I won’t
forget this animosity throughout my life.”
Yuki thinks that he’s so stubborn when he obviously also
endlessly say ‘astonishing to death’ things in front of everyone. She thinks
that honestly, Shizuka is like a younger brother and friend. “He is Naruse’s
major rival but—
...that kind of words, it isn’t necessary to insist on
saying it out, right. *Shou says that he is going to the toilet* After all, he
himself said that he doesn’t mind. That’s right, compared to that thing, what’s
more important is the National preliminaries--”
Meanwhile, Shizuka is practicing with his teammates at the
school gym. He shoots the ball. The others praise him for it and say that his
condition is becoming a lot better. Shizuka says that there is already no
reason to hesitate. The others are puzzled. Recalling the confession, Shizuka
thinks that he said it out...unexpectedly said it out.
He blushes as he leans on the wall. Someone asks where he
went. The other teammate says that Shizuka won’t say it clearly so could it be
that he hit on a girl. Looking at a paper, flyaway hair guy says that he just
saw the division [of teams] for the preliminaries.
He informs them that this year, they aren’t in the same
group as Ryuhoku since they are in A while Ryuhoku is in C. Someone agrees and
says that they can only wait for the finals for the confrontation. He wonders
out loud if they [Ryuhoku] can wait until then.
Shizuka asks if they have forgotten about the Kanto
tournament. He seriously tells them not to treat Ryuhoku lightly. And, the
National preliminaries had started. Abe is feeling ill that Usami-kun laughs
and says that it is like what Amamiya said that Abe is the one who is the most
nervous.
Aghast Abe shouts that it isn’t a bit funny and on contrary,
how come he is so calm. The coach says that this day has finally arrived.
Himiko says that right. She also says that today and tomorrow’s game will
decide whether or not they’ll enter the finals next week.
Sitting with the audience, Yuki thinks that the
preliminaries schedule is three days all together. They only have to a
knock-out the competition first this weekend then they’ll move towards the top
four who’ll qualify to participate in the finals next week.
She muses that last year, Ryuhoku wasn’t able to breach into
the finals and it was just one step. “This year, even if Misuzu isn’t in the
same group, they still cannot lower their guard. That thing with Shizuka
earlier, I hope that it won’t have an effect on him..”
Pfft. The game starts. Shou has the ball. The others block
him. He notices an opening and immediately passes the ball to Kuon who shoots
the ball. The ball is in. Abe and others cheer. At the back, Shizuka and others
are watching the game. And, Ryuhoku wins with 88 vs 72 against their opponent.
At the locker rooms, Abe and Usami-kun exclaim that they won
the first battle. On the board, Himiko says that their opponent tomorrow is
Meisei. Hatori exclaims that is a huge pressure. Then, one of them notice how
Kuon kept on moving his leg that he ask what’s up with him, does he have
Parkinson’s [disease].
Kuon says no, he feels that in a competition if one doesn’t
understand the situation clearly, it will end in a flash. He thinks that right
now, he is still nervous. He tells them that it is like this, right now, he is
still worried whether or not they have brought out their 100% strength.
After hearing that, Shou sits beside him and says that
during the official competition, it isn’t inevitable that they won’t be able to
bring out their whole strength. While he ties his shoe, he tells Kuon so they
had gone through a 200% training everyday so that it will be alright even if
they are nervous. “Have a bit of self-confidence, okay.”
Noda exclaims that is so moving! Someone asks what’s moving
and that’s so strange. Usami-kun exclaims to Kuon to pull himself together for
they have a super captain. Shou and Kuon look weird out over their reaction.
Noda shouts that he vows to be with Shou throughout his life. Someone shouts
that’s quite scary.
Standing outside the room, Yuki has overheard everything.
She thinks that it was totally unnecessary for her to worry for he is already a
capable ‘captain’. And, on the second day of the preliminaries, Ryuhoku scored
102 vs 86. It was an easy victory.
Then, on the third round of the competition, they also
calmly defended and kept on scoring. The audience countdown to ten and pfft,
game over! Ryuhoku won with 97 vs 92 against their opponent. Nishiyama holds on
to Tonomura and shouts that they won. Amamiya shouts they won-!! They broke
through the C group.
Yuki blushes as she looks down to Shou and thinks that
they’re in the top four. Shou looks at her and pouts. Yuki wonders what’s up
with that complacent expression that it infuriates her but then, he is really
amazing. So, for the first time, Ryuhoku got in the finals stage.
At Osaki canteen, Suwa says that’s amazing. Usami-san asks
if it is the National finals. While waving to some girls who greeted him
goodbye, Suwa says no, it is still the preliminaries because next week, the top
four schools would still compete. Yuki says that she hopes they can go a bit
further.
Suwa asks how come Usami-san didn’t know that her younger
brother is playing basketball. Usami-san says that she is totally not interested
about him. Yuki muses that it is really amazing for honestly speaking, last
year, deep within her heart, she felt that the Nationals is a far away dream.
But this year, they got in the final round. “It is no longer a dream--”
At the shoe store, there is a half price discount this month
on all sorts of goods. Then, two guys grab the same new arrived rubber shoe on
the display. It is Shou and Shizuka. They look at each other. Shizuka asks
what, let go. Shou tells him to let go.
Shizuka says that he got it first. Shou asks if this is size
28. Shizuka says yes. Turning to leave, Shou says that his shoe size is already
29 so he doesn’t want it. He bids ‘size 28’ goodbye. This made Shizuka shout
for him to wait. Shou asks what.
Shizuka says that even if their luck this year isn’t bad but
don’t forget this weekend’s finals wherein Misuzu is also there. Shou says that
he won’t forget and by the way, can he trouble Shizuka to forget that lousy
confession earlier. “Honestly speaking, I really wish that you get lost in a
coed school and afterwards, drop dead.”
Shizuka angrily says what’s up with that and don’t change
the current topic. Shizuka says that before, Shou was the one mentioned about a
competition between his team and Shou’s team. “Let’s see who will get to
advance into the Nationals first. I’ll show you which of the two team’s captain
is more astounding.”
He left as Shou remembers how worried Kuon was and Usami-kun
said that they have a super captain. Shou notices that he is gripping his fist
tightly. He mutters, sucks. In her apartment, Yuki is crossing off dates on her
calendar. She thinks that the next game is on Saturday so after her morning
classes end, she’ll immediately go to cheer for them.
Her cellphone rings. It is Shou. He tells her otsukaresama
[/good work]. She greets him back and asks if he is already home. He says yes,
they practiced until nine and he just got home. He tells her that he is tired
to death. She thinks that the training lately is quite intense and she’s so
anxious that she wasn’t of big help.
She tells him that next, it would be the finals. She says that if it is that team, it will definitely be a wonderful game. He says ya. Then, he calls out her name. She asks what. He asks her if she is really satisfied with him. This puzzles Yuki that she asks what.
She tells him that next, it would be the finals. She says that if it is that team, it will definitely be a wonderful game. He says ya. Then, he calls out her name. She asks what. He asks her if she is really satisfied with him. This puzzles Yuki that she asks what.
Shou says forget it, this is bad, he is going to fall asleep
soon. He tells her that it is alright. Yuki says no, wait... He greets her good
night and hangs up on her. She imagines Shou asking if she is satisfied with
him or she feels that Shizuka is better. She becomes very anxious and thinks,
wait, he is still entangled with that issue.
“No... but, he is always concentrating on getting ready for
the game so he shouldn’t... what does ‘are you satisfied with me’ mean? Is
there something that he is uneasy about? ...no, he is definitely uneasy about
something. He is currently the captain and he is working hard non-stop to lead
the team towards a higher goal.”
She recalls him claiming that he doesn’t mind the confession
and he knows her feelings clearly. Going to look for something in her closet,
Yuki thinks that it isn’t good if she was the one who made him uneasy. She
recalls that she left that thing over there. Looking determined, she thinks
that at this time, as the girlfriend, she cannot be helpless.
In the train with the others, Abe calls out to Miyoshi and
says that he wants to dash to the toilet since he is too nervous. Miyoshi asks
what, the train is leaving in three minutes so can’t he go when they are at the
venue. Abe shouts that he couldn’t hold it and he’s going.
Looking out the window, Shou notices something. He starts to
go out so Miyoshi shouts if he is also going. He reminds Shou that it is
already the finals. Shou says no, he saw someone familiar. He goes out and sees
Yuki muttering at the side.
She thinks that he isn’t here anymore so could it be that he
already left. Shw wonders if she should call, no, but... She is startled when
Shou calls out to him. Yuki says that it’s great that the train didn’t leave
yet. He says that doesn’t she have to go to school this morning. She says yes,
that’s right but there is something...
He tells her that she can just send a LIME [/internet
messaging]. She says no, it is not good to call him out and besides she barely
finished it... Shou is puzzled. She holds a piece of cloth and says that it is
for him. He asks if it is a ra..towel.
Yuki darkly says that he wanted to say rag just now. He asks
if she sewed it. Blushing a bit, she looks at the side and tells him to go
ahead and use it. She mutters that after all, she threw in all sorts of things
in it. Shou says that her way of talking is quite scary. She says ya, and just
in case, she wants to say it one more time.
Thinking that she has to clearly convey her thoughts, she
says, “No matter what others say, my heart only has you... *flustered and
points to him* No matter who confessed to me, I’ll choose you!” Looking weird
out, Shou asks why she is saying that all of a sudden and didn’t he say that he
understand her feelings. Yuki goes !?
She explains that it is because he asked her if she is
satisfied with him. He says that is some other thing. Yuki is all puzzled by
it. Just then, there is an announcement that the train is going to leave soon.
Tense Yuki says that in short, she’ll go cheer for him in a while...
Shou bends down and hugs Yuki. She tensely tells him that he
is at the door. <- the train is about to leave. Shou says that it is because
she is so stupid that he forgot what he is afraid of. Yuki exclaims ha!? He
says okay, he is already restored his spirit so anything goes. “...I’m going.”
He lets go of surprised Yuki as someone tells Shou to
quickly get in for the train door is going to close. Yuki blushes as she watches
Shou get in. The train left. She mutters, “Bon voyage.”
Narration: “It is high school’s last summer. At an
incredible speed, time passes by so fast. The decisive fated finals are going
to start.” At the stadium, Shou looks serious and determined.
Comment: From
giving off a feeling that made her remember her grandmother to a younger
brother, Shizuka is really gives off a ‘family’-type of vibes to Yuki. ^^; If I
were to make a story out of this, I would imagine that perhaps, they were
siblings in their previous lives. =P
Even if that wasn’t why Shou is uneasy, Yuki manages to calm
him down. It does seem that he is also anxious over what Shizuka told him at
the shoe store. It is also pressure being the captain so that ‘not satisfied’
comment is most likely about being the captain. Anyway, from the looks of
things, it will be Ryuhoku vs Misuzu in the finals. Scans by 红莲汉化组
