Part 10 ~Nobara-san's Personal Feelings~

Pg. 45

Girls: Whaaaaat!? A fundraiser for our team!?

Suzushiro: That's right. With what the school provides us, it's not nearly enough.

Suzushiro: There's the cost of our uniforms, the cost of water...

Suzushiro: Plus miscellaneous expenses...I'm estimating at the lowest cost possible and it's still going to be...

Suzushiro: For one person...

//pi// [beep]

Girls: About 10,000 yen!!?

Tomoyo: This is what happens with weak teams with no sponsorship...

Pg. 49

Mochida: Hey!

Mochida: I heard that, Oosaka!

Mochida: Sorry we're a weak team that has no sponsorship or OG.

Tomoyo: I'm not saying it's bad.

Tomoyo: It'll be good as long as I can make this team stronger.

Mochida: Ha! Hahaha! You have such confidence! Elite people are too different!

Mochida: You were so quiet before too.

Tomoyo: Hey, could you not look at me with that look of jealousy?

Tomoyo: It's annoying.

Mochida: !!

Pg. 50

Mochida: Did you hear that, Suzushiro-san!?

Mochida: She said that I was annoying!!

Tomoyo: It's the truth.

//gyaaa gyaaa// [bickering]

Nobara: Okay!!! Stop fighting, please!!

Tomoyo: Are you going to cry again?

//kusu// [chuckle]

Nobara: I'm not going to cry!

Rena: No, Nobara-chan! Don't cry!! I'll try hard!

//eeeen// [cry]

//ga// [grab]

Nobara: I told you that I'm not crying! What's going on?

Boy: What are you laughing at, Yuushin?

Pg. 51

Yuushin: Oh, nothing.

Nobara's thoughts: Our volleyball team that we just created....

Nobara's thoughts: Is it's usual.

Nobara's thoughts: We don't know how to draw back, so we clash with each other and...

Nobara's thoughts: Get to know each other and oneself better.

Nobara's thoughts: After crying in front of everyone the other day,

Nobara's thoughts: I felt like I was the most childish one and...

Pg. 52

Nobara's thoughts: I'm feeling a little irritated...

Momoko: You want your pay in advance?

Nobara: I need it for my uniform and stuff.

Nobara: I don't want to be a burden to others either.

Momoko: No, no. I just gave you your pay the other day.

Nobara: I don't even have half of that left. The rest of it is for food anyway.

Nobara's thoughts: What am I going to do if I'm the only one who can't come up with the funds for the team?

Momoko: Then why don't you ask my sister?

Momoko: They have plenty of money.

Nobara: I don't want to ask my mom!!

Pg. 53

Momoko: Well, I understand that it's not easy for you to ask since you ran away from home.

Momoko: But from now on...

Momoko: You're going to need money for the team and other things for volleyball, right?

Momoko: With your pay, it's hard enough living off of it.

Momoko: There's a limit to what you can do on your own, right?

Momoko: Sorry, but I'm not going to do anything else for you.

Momoko: If you need money to continue playing volleyball,

Momoko: Then tell her that...

Pg. 54

Momoko's words: "You should make an effort to talk to your parents"

Yuushin: What? The girls' practice game is on Sunday? This week?

Ichiba: Yeah, that's why the men's team is off in the morning.

Ichiba: You're going to go watch the game right, Yuushin?

Yuushin: Geez! I can't!

Yuushin: They need to tell me these things sooner...

Pg. 55

Ichiba: You're not going?

Yuushin: I already made a promise!

Haibuki: It's a girl, isn't it?

Haibuki: You have a lot of time on your hands.

Yuushin: That's none of your business!

Haibuki: Hm? Where's Sumiyoshi-san?

Yuushin: She was by the phone.

Pg. 56

//purururu// [ring ring]

Nobara's thoughts: It's been a month and a half since I ran away from home.

Nobara's thoughts: This was the last thing I wanted to do.

Nobara's thoughts: To ask my mom if I can borrow some money!

//pururu// [ring ring]

//gachya// [pick up]

Woman: Hello, this is Seiryuu.

Nobara's mom: I've said this numerous times already, but today, Yokota-Sensei will be coming.

Nobara's mom: Please be careful not to show any signs of impoliteness.

Women: Yes.

Nobara's mom: What abou the parking?

Women: Yes, we have the most easy place to park open.

Pg. 57

Woman 1: Is Yokota-Sensei the one from the house of Seiji?

Woman 2: That's right. He's bringing his son today.

Woman 1: Oh no! That prodigal son!!

Woman 2: Hey! Shhhhh!

//bata bata// [running]

Man: Okami-san!

Man: Okami-san! You have a phone call!

Man: From your daughter!

Seiryuu...

This long-standing restaraunt has been continuing for 6 generations. For generations, the eldest daughter inherited the restaraunt. The eldest daughter becomes the Okami and protects the restaraunt. The eldest daughter, from an early age, is hammered with learning the proper manners and ways of management... This was the way it was supposed to be, but...

Nobara's mom: 10,000 yen?

Pg. 58

Nobara: No, 5,000 yen is fine.

Nobara: I need it for my uniform. Volleyball's accessories.

Nobara: Mom, I revived the volleyball team.

Nobara's mom: What does that have to do with the business?

//mu// [Nobara offended]

Nobara's mom: You can't have even a little of that passion for Seiryu? Everyone's waiting, you know?

Nobara: I can't right now...

Nobara's mom: Nobara-san, after you've been doing what you want to do, don't you think you're asking for too much only asking for money?

Pg. 59

Nobara's mom: Come back home.

Nobara: I can't.

Nobara's mom: Come back home.

Nobara's thoughts: If I go home, I can't play volleyball!

Nobara: No!

Nobara's mom: Then do whatever you want to do!

Nobara's mom: I'm not going to give any assistance to a daughter that ran away from home!!

//kiiiin// [Nobara's ear hurting from loudness]

Woman: Okami-san, I have Souka-san all ready.

Nobara's mom: I'm busy, so I'm going to hang up now!

Nobara's mom: Souka is going to the tatami room in place of you today.

Pg. 60

Nobara's mom: Since you, the eldest daughter, is staggering with your life,

Nobara's mom: Your little sister, Souka, has to go through these hardships.

Nobara's mom: You should feel a little bad! My goodness...!

//putsun// [phone hangs up]

//tsuuu tsuuu// [dial tone]

Nobara's thoughts: It's not that I'm staggering around.

Nobara's thoughts: I don't feel bad!

Nobara's thoughts: I...

Pg. 61

Nobara's thoughts: I'm just concentrating on the things that are most important to me!

Souka: Mom, what did Sister say?

Nobara's mom: I don't know about that daughter of mine!

Nobara's mom: Oh, Souka, I can only depend on you, so...

Nobara's mom: Please serve this Seiryu as best as you can, okay?

Souka: Yes...

Pg. 62

//wahahaha// [laughter]

Nobara's mom: Are you enjoying this, Yokota Sensei?

Nobara's mom: You're such a great customer of ours.

Yokota: Oh, well... By the way, is she the young Okami that everyone's talking about?

Nobara's mom: Oh no, this is my youngest daughter. Her sister is pretty indolent.

Souka: My name is Souka. Welcome to Seiryu.

Yokota: You're lucky to have 2 daughters that are young, yet elegant.

Yokota: Compared to my son...

//nade// [touch]

Woman: Aaah!

//wahaha// [laughter]

Yokota: Hey, Tamotsu! Will you at least introduce yourself!

Pg. 63

Tamotsu: Dad! We're out of sake. Can you tell them to bring some more.

Nobara's mom: I'm sorry we didn't realize this! Souka, could you pour them some more please.

Souka: Yes...

Tamotsu: You're cute.

Pg. 64

Nobara: This isn't much...

//chyari// [clink]

Nobara's thoughts: I'm not going to depend on anyone anymore. Fine!

Nobara's mom's words: "I'm not going to give any assistance to a daughter that ran away from home!"

Nobara's thoughts: I'm going to do something about it on my own!

Pg. 65

Nobara: Obachan! One an-pan, please!

Nobara: It's cheaper than the other store!

[Eggs - 98 yen]

Nobara's thoughts: I can do this!

Yuushin: What are you doing?

Ichiba: It's been awhile. It's Ichiba.

Pg. 66

Nobara: What do you mean? I'm eating my dinner. I'm not going to give you any.

Yuushin: You're only eating a boiled egg!!? I don't want any.

Yuushin: Whaaaat!? After spending money on accessories, you don't have any money for food!?

Yuushin: Why is your life so complicated with hits and misses!?

Ichiba: Yuushin, calm down. Some people are just this way.

Nobara: My life isn't like that! I thought things through and I'm doing this on my own!

Yuushin: What did you eat this morning?

Nobara: Bread...

Yuushin: What about lunch?

Nobara: Jam bread...

Pg. 67

Yuushin: An athlete has to eat right!

Nobara: Alright, stop getting mad already!

Nobara's thoughts: Stop getting mad... I'm hungry and feel like crying.

//gashyann// [Haibuki gets out pan]

Boy: What're you doing, Haibuki?

Haibuki: I was just seeing what I could make with what I have.

Yuushin: Oh, that's right! We can at least make some pasta.

Pg. 68

Nobara: It's okay!

Nobara: That's the stuff you guys bought with your own money!

Yuushin: Shut up! Just eat!

Nobara's thoughts: Haibuki...I was ignoring you this whole time...

Pg. 69

Nobara: It's good...

Boy: She said it's good, Haibuki!

Haibuki: Well, thanks.

Nobara's thoughts: It's warm...

Yuushin: Just eat and do well at your game, alright!?

Boy: Watching her, doesn't it make you hungry again?

Ichiba: You just ate.

Yuushin: That's just you.

//ahahaha// [laughter]

Nobara's thoughts: 15 years into my life and this is the first time I was troubled with money or with food or just being worried...

Pg. 70

Nobara's thoughts: My mom would think that I went too far.

Nobara's thoughts: She probably won't understand me.

Nobara's thoughts: But there's something for sure.

Pg. 71

Nobara's thoughts: There's something that attracts me

Nobara's thoughts: Inside this court.

Sumiyoshi: Okay!

Nobara's thoughts: There's definitely bond and challenge

Pg. 77

Everyone: BENI-HIGH!!

Everyone: FIGHT!!!

Nobara's thoughts: Within this court!

Yuushin: I can't believe you!

Momoko: Can you bring me some slippers? I can't come in.

Pg. 78

Yuushin: Can't you tell by looking? I'm at practice.

Momoko: Bring it!

//pata pata// [step step]

Yuushin: Why is she here?

Nobara: What? Is there something wrong?

Pg. 80

Momoko: Oh nothing. I just heard a strange thing.

Nobara: ... what?

Momoko: Souka's having a formal marriage interview.

Nobara: With who!?

Momoko: With the Seiji household's son.

Nobara: Whaaat!?

Nobara's thoughts: What is that parent of mine thinking!?

Nobara: Souka is still in 9th grade!!

Pg. 81

Momoko: Don't get mad at me!

Momoko: I can't even tell that household what to do.

Suzushiro: Sumiyoshi-san, we'd like to start practicing.

//ha// [Nobara snaps out of it]

Nobara: S...sorry!

Momoko: Well, my sister is the one who kept the Seiryuu going

Momoko: So I'm sure she has something in mind.

Nobara's thoughts: What do you mean, "she has something in mind"!?

Nobara's thoughts: In the end, she's more worried about her shop than her own daughter's will!

Pg. 82

Woman: Well, it's more like just having some tea than a formal marriage interview.

Woman: But that man, the son of Yokoyama-san's...

Woman: I don't know how to put it, but he's a player...

Woman: The other day, when Souka-san went into the tatami room, he took a liking to her.

Nobara: What is Souka saying?

Woman: Souksa-san is doing it for Seiryuu, so she's agreed to do it.

Woman: I feel sorry for her.

Woman: Oh, Nobara-san, please don't tell your mother that I'm telling you all this, okay?

Pg. 83

Nobara: I know....

Nobara's mom's words: "Sourka is going out to the tatami room for you"

Nobaara's mom's words: "Why don't you feel bad for her a little!?"

Tamotsu's words: "You're cute"

Nobara's thoughts: Souka...!

Pg. 84

Ichiba: Do you have your uniform?

Nobara: Yup!

Ichiba: And your towel?

Nobara: I have it. Don't worry! You worry too much, Ichiba!

Ichiba: We'll all be there to cheer you on.

Nobara's thoughts: I better not think about Souka for now.

Nobara's thoughts: I have to concentrate on today's game.

Nobara's thoughts: I'm the ace player!

Yuushin: Oh, wait, wait. I'll go to the train station with you.

Pg. 85

Ichiba: For your info, Yuushin has a date today, so he won't be able to go see your match today.

Nobara: I see. You heartless man.

Yuushin: Shut up.

//girin girin// [ring ring]

Yuushin: Yes, this is Beni Dorms!

Yuushin: ...what?

Yuushin: ...your sister?... I can't understand you if you're crying.
