Chapter 23: I'm Going to Jump!!

Page 2
Muramatsu: Wow!
Muramatsu: Even an elementary school kid is doing ski jumping.
Isn't he a fool?

Page 3
Muramatsu: So ski jumping can also be done in the summer.
Yoda: Yeah.
Yoda: They slide down a slope made of porcelain...
Yoda: And land on an artificial lawn sprinkled with water.
Yoda: It's unexpectedly more convenient than ski jumping on real snow.
Muramatsu: Hm?
Why is that?
Yoda: It's dangerous to ski go down a hill with fresh snow, so everyone has to tread on the snow to harden it.
Yoda: It's quite a hassle.

Page 4
Yoda: With the artificial lawn, only a machine is needed to sprinkle water.
It's pretty nice since no human work is necessary.
Muramatsu: I see~~
Muramatsu: So is skiing pretty much the same regardless of season?
Yoda: Well, sliding down the porcelain surface feels slightly different from the real snow.
Yoda: There are also a lot of competitions for winter sports that are done during the summer.
Muramatsu: I see...
But it doesn't matter to me...
Muramatsu: There people of all ages here...Is there a competition today?
Yoda: No, today is this year's first joint practice.
They won't start the gondola unless a lot of people gather together.
Yoda: Oh, they're here.

Page 5
It's the summer season now!!
Ya~~~~y!!
I can ski jump to my heart's content~~~!!

Page 6
Sup: Ok
Sup: Everyone gather over here!!
Sup: Listen up!!
Sup: As you all know, next week is the Nagano prefecture regional competition!!
Yuuta(thought): Why is he wearing a white coat outside?
Sup: Only the winning schools get to advance to the next competition.
Sup: If you can't even make it through this, then inter high is hopeless.
Sup: Got that? We are winning the regional for sure next week!!
Man: You seem pretty spirited,
Gobou.

Page 7
Man: That won't happen.
Man: We're the ones who are gonna win at inter high.
Gobou: ...
Gobou: We haven't been in touch for a while.
Yuuta: ...Who is that person?
Guy: The coach of Aojika high school, which is one of the three champion schools in Nagano.
Guy: He's from the ski jumping team of Kanokawa Establishment, and he is Gobou-sensei's senpai.
Yuuta: Oh~~
Yuuta: I've heard of Kanokawa before.
Behind: You've only heard of it?
Yuuta: Ah!!

Page 8
Yoda: Yo.
Yoda: We meet again.
Yuuta: Um...
Yuuta: Uh...
Yoda: Wait till later. There are too many people around.
Yoda: That aside, you don't even know about Kanokawa?
Yoda: It's a prestigious sports corporate that has produced many Olympic athletes.
Yoda: For those born in Nagano, joining Kanokawa after high school is the elite course to entering All Japan.
Yoda: You would probably also follow that path after graduation.
Yuuta(thought): ...
Yuuta(thought): Sports corporate, huh...
Yoda: Since the next Olympics is during your third year, you don't seem to have thought about what happens after that.
Yoda: Did I hit the bulls-eye?
Guy: Oi!! Is Nonomiya around---!?
Yuuta: Eh!?

Page 9
Katou: Oh, there you are.
Katou: It's been a while, Nonomiya.
Katou: Don't tell me you forgot who I am.
Yuuta(thought): ...
Yuuta: So if I win, you will jump naked?
Yuuta(thought): It's the person I competed with before...
Katou: Huh!?
Yoda: You remember him don't you? Katou used to be a ski club member in Aojika. He was the winner of inter high two years back.
Yoda: He's now a member of Kanokawa, trying to enter All Japan.
Right now he is quickly going through the elite course I mentioned just now.
Yuuta(thought): So he's actually pretty good...
Shingu: Why is Katou-san speaking with Nonomiya?
Guy: Do they know each other?
Kishitani: Who knows...
Katou: Here, this is the promised photo.
Yuuta: Huh?
Katou: What was the promised photo...?

Page 10
Yuuta: !?
Yuuta: Kyaaaaaaaaaaa!!
Katou: Why are you screaming like a girl?
Katou: You were the one who told me to fly naked like a giant flying squirrel.
Katou: This is just my end of the bargain.
Later.
SFX: Shake shake shake
Shingu: ...What was that? Katou lost to Nonomiya?
Guy: At what? Ski jumping?
Guy: No way...
Muramatsu: He...
Muramatsu: Hey.
Yoda: Hm?

Page 11
Muramatsu: What are they doing over there?
Yoda: Ah.
Yoda: That is jumping simulation.
Yoda: They are doing image training for the kick-off jump.
Muramatsu: Is there a point for doing that?
Yoda: Of course there is, idiot.
Yoda: The jump only lasts a second, so having a good image is vital.
Gobou: Before we start, I'd like to gauge the abilities of the first-years.
Gobou: I will help with the simulation.
Yuuta(thought): Eh~~I'm not good at it~~~
Gobou: Let's start with Amatsu.

Page 12
Gobou: ...
Gobou: Hm.
Gobou: As expected of the nation best.
Gobou: Good leap.
Gobou: Next, Nonomiya.
Yuuta: Eh...?
Yuuta(thought): I don't want to...
Gobou: Imagine doing a jump that feels good.
Gobou: ...
Gobou: Oi.

Page 13
Gobou: You...
Gobou: Are you making fun of me!?
Yuuta: Huh?
Gobou: What's with the half-assed jump!!
You think I'm going to drop a recent middle school graduate like you?
Gobou: Don't hold back!
Gobou: I have never dropped anyone before.
Gobou: Not even the 192cm-tall Shiriya!!
Yuuta(thought): ...Well, if he says that...
Gobou: Imagine your best possible jump!!
Gobou: Bring it!!

Page 14
Gobou(thought): Huh...!?
Gobou: Uwah!!
Gobou: Oh crap...
Yuuta: Ow---!!

Page 15
Yuuta: You're horrible!!
That's why I didn't want to do it!!
Gobou: S...
Sorry.
Gobou(thought): ...
Gobou(thought): No way!!
Emperor(thought): Gobou...
Emperor(thought): Dropped someone?
Shingu(thought): Now that I think about it...
Shingu(thought): Nonomiya never knocked over even one hurdle during practice...
Guy(thought): The Hokkaido regional dropout...
Guy(thought): I can't imagine him being this good...

Page 16
Guy(thought): This guy...
Yuuta: Oww...
Guy(thought): I wonder what he's capable of in the future?
Emperor: ...
Gobou: Alright, everyone get in the gondola and go ride to the top.
Everyone: Yes sir.
Yuuta(thought): Yay!!
Yuuta(thought): Now I can finally ski jump!!
Yuuta(thought): Hurry...
Yuuta(thought): I want to do it as soon as possible!!
Kishitani: Nonomiya.
Yuuta: Hm?

Page 17
Kishitani: I'm going to say something.
Don't go all-out until the start of the competition.
Yuuta: Eh---!?
Why!?
Kishitani: I told you before.
Kishitani: You'll catch the Emperor's attention.
Kishitani: But you don't have to hold back next week.
After all, everyone can participate in the first jump.
Kishitani: So please hide your true abilities until then.
Please.
Yuuta: ...
Emperor: Where did Shingu go off to?
Guy: Huh?
He was here just now...
Shingu: What we talked about before...
Shingu: Is it really true?

Page 18
Coach: That's right.
Coach: Next week...
If you rig the skis for Shiriya and Amatsu to cause "accidents"...
Coach: I'll use my connections to get you into Kanokawa.
Coach: It's the elite course you know.
