Yokota Takuma

p2
Text: ---The day of the competition, early morning.
Star: After the sleepless night...
Masaharu(thinks): In the end, I didn't sleep much after staying up late and with all the nerves...
Masaharu(thinks): I was the first at the meeting place thanks to that, though...
Masaharu(thinks): But...
Masaharu(thinks): Leaving that aside, I have the feeling someone I don't know has been staring at me all this time...!
Woman: It really is you,
Woman: You sure are early, Tsuchiya-kun.
Masaharu: Eh!?
Masaharu: Wh...Why do you know my name...!?

p3
Michiru: "Why?"...
Michiru: I'm the assistant homeroom teacher. (cd: For your class)
Masaharu: Ah...! (cd: Sensei...)
Masaharu: Eh...Why are you here...?
Masaharu's sd: It's just a coincidence...?
Michiru's sd: Like hell it is.
Masumi: Oh, good moooorning, you sure are early,
Masumi: Tsucchi and Michiru-chan!
Michiru: I told you to add "-sensei", Doigaki-kun.
Michiru's sd: Good grief
Michiru: Call me either Michiru-sensei or Kose-sensei!
Masumi: Oh, sorry.
Masaharu's sd: G...Good morning.
Eri's sd: Good morning, you're really early.
Shou's sd: Yupee
Rio's sd: Yaaay
Michiru: Here, these are your shinkansen tickets, make sure you don't lose them.
All: Thank you, Michiru-chan-senseeeei!
Michiru: You little...

p4
Masaharu: So Kose-sensei was our advisor...
Masaharu: I didn't know...
Michiru: Yeah...Sorry I don't go to the practices,
Michiru: I don't know a thing about dancesport and your senpai are really reliable so I just end up leaving everything to them.
Masumi: When I was making the dancesport club on my first year,
Masumi: I asked Michiru-chan-sensei, who was a new teacher back then, to be our advisor, I told her she didn't have to do anything.
Michiru: But you know, being this club's advisor is harder than one would expect...!
Michiru: Whenever these guys do a demonstration the veteran teachers begin complaining...
Michiru's sd: They say the outfits are too extreme and so on, those baldies.
Rio: Sorry, we're always causing you trouble.
Michiru: It's ok, it's ok.
Michiru: I can't teach you so I need to do at least that much.
Michiru(thinks): Talking about unexpected, this pair...
Michiru(thinks): I didn't think they were the type that would join the dance club...

p5
Michiru(thinks): Well, it's all fine, their potential is unlimited.
Michiru(thinks): Try whatever you can, youngsters.
Michiru's sd: This old lady woke up too early and is sleepy.
Shou: Oh.
Voice: We're arriving at---
Voice: Mishima--- Mishima---
Masaharu: Oooooh, it's amazing...!
Masaharu: You can see Mt. Fuji from everywhere...!
Eri: Yeah.
Masumi: Hey you two, we're going this way.
Michiru's sd: Errrrm, we need to go straight here?
Rio's sd: It seems so.
Masaharu: ...Y...Yesterday,

p6
Masaharu: Could you sleep properly...After going back home...?
Eri: Ah, not really...
Eri: I...Was a bit nervous...And woke up just after that...
Eri: But I feel fine,
Eri: It's alright...!
Masaharu: A smile...Right!?
Eri: Right!?
Masaharu(thinks): Alright...! Watari-san looked a bit worried yesterday, but she looks like usual now...!
Masaharu(thinks): We could do couple practice yesterday too...And I feel pretty good too...!
Masaharu(thinks): I'm composed enough to think Mt. Fuji is beautiful...
Masaharu(thinks): I...Might just do fine today...!
Masumi: Tsucchi!
Masumi: What are you doing!
Masumi: We're almost there!

p7
Masumi: Look,
Masumi: We've arrived...!
Michiru: You have to register before the competition,
Michiru: So go to the reception and tell them your name to get your number.
Masaharu: I hear music...
Masaharu: It's already begun...?
Masumi: That's the under-15 competition.
Masaharu: U...Umm...I'm Tsuchiya Masaharu...
Eri's sd: I'm...Watari Eri.
Voice: Ok, ok.
Voice: Here are your number and the time table.
Voice: The waiting room is on the second floor---

p8-9
Masaharu: Th...They are all middle schoolers...!?
Masaharu: ...Really...!?
Masaharu(thinks): They are way better dancers than I am...! Well, that might be only natural, though...
Shou: They look older than you, first year.
Masaharu: N-N...No way...!
Masumi: Now, let's go to the waiting room.
Masaharu(thinks): And...The people watching the competition there...
Masaharu(thinks): Are adult...? Competitors...!?
Masaharu(thinks): The competition isn't only for middle and high school students...!?
Masaharu's sd: ? ? I don't know what's what here...!

p10
Sign: Competitor Waiting Room
Masaharu: Eeh!?
Masaharu: The waiting room is shared by men and women!!?
Rio: That's right, that's the one thing I really would love them to change.
Rio's sd: We save our place with the sheet
Masaharu: Eeh...I mean...
Masaharu: We change at the waiting room, right...!?
Rio: This is where this comes in handy! TA-DAAAAH
Rio: A chan-ging baaaaag. //That's not the actual name for that thing but I couldn't find the name in English
Rio: If you change with this on top you can hide quite a bit...
Rio: But you can't hide everything so the rest is a matter of manners...Ok!
Akiko: Well, I don't really care by this point, though, we all go through the same.
Akiko's sd: Like, look if you want
Shou: Hey, idiot, stop it, Akiko! No one benefits from that!!

p11
Akiko: Huuuuuh!? What does that mean, Shou!!? You're a man so stop with the bravado!!
Akiko's sd: You want to look, don't you, hey!!?
Shou: Yours are just cheap!! At least be a bit bashful, you idiot!!
Shou's sd: You just don't get it!!
Rio: Well, let's get changed too.
Masumi: Well then,
Masumi: Let's review our time tables.
Masumi: First, the ones participating on the Standard division
Masumi: Are Rio and me, and Tsucchi and Watari-chan.
Masumi: And the ones participating on the Latin division
Masumi: Are Yamaki-chan and Akiko-chan.
Shou's sd: Yup
Masumi: The ones currently dancing on the floor are the Juniors(middle school) and under.
Masumi: Once the final for that ends...There will be a ten-minute break and the Youth(high school) and over competition will begin.

p12
Masaharu: Youth and over means...
Masaharu: That we're competing with adults...!?
Masumi: Yeah, that's how it will be this time.
Masumi: First are the first round of preliminaries for standard,
Masumi: Waltz, Tango, Viennese Waltz, Slow Foxtrot, and Quickstep are danced and the winners for each pass to the second round of preliminaries.
Masumi: However, thanks to the rule that allows people to participate in a single rhythm,
Masumi: Only "Waltz" has a higher number of participants.
Masumi: There are three heats for it.
Masaharu: Wh...What's a heat...?
Rio: Errm, you see, for dancesport, everyone dances on the same floor, but if there are too many people they divide them into groups,
Rio: Like, first heat, second heat, and so on.
Masumi: Rio and I are on the second heat,
Masumi: And Tsucchi and Watari-chan are on the first heat!
Masumi: In other words,
Masumi: You're the very first...!

p13
Voice: The Juvenile (Primary School) class final will now begin.
Voice: The first rhythm is Waltz.
Masaharu(thinks): If it's the primary schoolers I can actually watch them with peace of mind...
Masaharu(thinks): No, there are actually some couples that might be better than me...
Masaharu(thinks): In a few minutes...
Masaharu(thinks): ...I'll compete...It's already the competition, huh...
Kiyoto: Your tailcoat will get wrinkles if you seat like that, won't it?
Masaharu: !
Kiyoto: Hi!
Masaharu: Ah,
Masaharu: Miki-kun...It's been two weeks.
Kiyoto: Ah, I'm glad, talking to you was pretty risky,
Kiyoto: I was thinking what I'd do if it wasn't you, Tsuchiya-kun.
Kiyoto's sd: Where's Watari-san?
Masaharu's sd: She's still changing.
Masaharu: Ah...We all have the same hairstyle after all.
Masaharu: You look pretty different like this too, Miki-kun...!

p14
Kiyoto: Is that so?
Masaharu: Yeah...
Masaharu: Kinda...
Masaharu(thinks): He looks strong...
Kiyoto: I saw the heat list, you're participating in Waltz, right?
Kiyoto: We're in the first heat too. (cd: We're together)
Masaharu: Oh, I see...!
Masaharu: Ah, but you guys are also participating in the other rhythms, right...?
Masaharu: We could only learn Waltz in the end......
Kiyoto: For you to learn Waltz in two weeks is pretty amazing.
Kiyoto: I'm sure you'll learn a lot more from now on.
Masaharu's sd: Really?
Kiyoto's sd: Really.
Masaharu: Ah, but in the end...
Masaharu: I feel like I got pulled by Watari-san...
Kiyoto: Really?
Masaharu: Watari-san worked really hard these two weeks...She learned things fast too.
Masaharu: I got really desperate just trying to keep with her.

p15
Masaharu: But, isn't that, like, really uncool?
Masaharu's sd: I mean, I'm the leader.
Kiyoto: Why? Not at all.
Kiyoto: Having a good influence on each other is ideal.
Masaharu: No...I feel like I'm not giving her anything...
Kiyoto: No, no, that not it at all.
Kiyoto: It just happens that Watari-san got better faster and pulled you this time,
Kiyoto: So when you get better faster you just have to pull her, Tsuchiya-kun.
Kiyoto: Besides, dancesport is done in pairs,
Kiyoto: So there's always a point where you have to rely on each other.
Kiyoto: Sometimes, just being by each other helps ease your worries.
Kiyoto: Especially in moments like this, when you have a competition.
Kiyoto: So there's definitely something you've given her.
Eri: I...
Eri: Feel a bit better now...
Masaharu: You...
Masaharu: Might be right......
Tanya: [Russian]
Kiyoto: Ah

p16
Kiyoto: Sorry, it seems Tanya caused some trouble.
Kiyoto: I need to go.
Masaharu's sd: There was a lot of noise
Masaharu: Ah, y...yeah.
Kiyoto: Let's do our best
Kiyoto: On the Waltz...!
Masaharu: Yeah...!
Eri: Umm...
Eri: Rio-senpai...
Rio: Hmm...?
Eri: The outfit...Is it...Ok...?
Rio: You mean mine?
Rio: It's fine, I'm used to this so I can change quickly.
Rio: Watari-chan is more important now.
Rio: After all, it's your first competition---

p17
Rio: While I'm saying all that we're done!
Rio: Mmmm, you're so cute! You look like a princess!
Rio: How is it, Watari-chan? Don't you think you look pretty?
Eri: So...Pretty...
Eri: It's...Such a pretty...
Eri: Dress...

p18
Rio: !
Rio: Watari-chan...?
Voice: With this, the Juvenile Class Final is over.
Masaharu: Ah,
Masaharu: It's over...!
Masumi: Tsucchi, it's about time! Come here.
Masaharu: Y-
Masaharu: Yeees!
Masaharu(thinks): It's time...
Masaharu(thinks): It's time...
Voice: Now we'll have a ten-minute break---
Masaharu(thinks): It's time...!

p19
Voice: Before the High School and Over General Class Standard division
Voice: First preliminaries begin.
Masaharu(thinks): It's...Do or die now...!
Masaharu: W-Wa-Watari-san, we just need to dance like we practiced...
Masaharu: And don't forget the smile! Let's smile...! Ok...!
Masaharu: Eh...?
Masaharu(thinks): Watari-san...?
Star: She looks weird...!?
