Chapter 48: Thanks!!

Sora: It seems like the Ferris Wheel is still not moving.
Akira: Yeah.
Sora: I wonder if No...Noriko-chan is ok...
Akira: Well, both the Emperor and Kishitani are ok...
They'll be able to move soon.
Akira: ...
Akira: And...
Akira: Did you think that no one has noticed yet?

Page 3
Akira: That girl is Nonomiya, isn't it?
Sora: !?
Akira: I'm not as dense as those two.
Sora(thought): ...What should I do...
Sora(thought): He found out that Nono-chan is a girl!!
Akira: Why...
Akira: Is Nonomiya cross-dressing?
Sora: Huh?
Akira: You can't deceive me.
Akira: It's disgusting that a guy would dress up as a girl.
Sora(thought): ...

Page 4
Sora(thought): Yes!! He's dense too!!
Sora: Uh...um...
Sora: Yeah, yeah!!
I heard it's a punishment from a game he was playing with Kourogi.
Akira: Game?
Sora: I...I don't really know...
Sora: But it seems like...he lost at something...
So he has to walk around like that...
Akira: I see.
Sora: ...
Sora(thought): Did I do it well?
Sora: Ah!!
It finally moved again!!

Nono: Fwah~~~
They finally let me down--
Nono: It was so hot---!!
Nono: Sigh...
I created so much trouble for everyone...
Sora: I heard it from Kishitani-kun.
It wasn't your fault!!
Nono: That Ana...
Emperor!!
Nono: What about Kishitani and Emperor?
Sora: Um...
Shiriya-san's cast was soaked, so he went back to the hospital.
Kishitani-kun went to a nearby spa to take a bath.
Sora: Amatsu-kun went on a boat to help them.
Akira: !?

Page 6
Sora: So...
Huh?
Nono: Hahaha, Amatsu is allergic to women...
He breaks out in hives if he gets near us.
Sora: Eeh!?
Sora: Does he also get hives around you, Nono-chan?
Nono: No.
Nono: As "Yuuta", it's fine.
Nono: Well, to Amatsu, I'm...
Nono: A guy. That's why.

Page 7
Nono: Either way, he won't consider me a companion...
Sora: !
Sora: Ah, I have to call Umi!!
Sora: Wait a second!!
Nono: Ah...Ok...
Sora(thought): Hahaha!
Sora(thought): Something just occurred to me!
Sora(thought): I must be right!!
Sora(thought): Maybe Nono-chan likes Amatsu-kun!!

Page 8
Akira: By the way...do you know Nonomiya?
Nono: Eh!?
Nono: Well...yes...
Nono: Although I only knew him during middle school...
Akira: I see.
Should we walk around a bit before Sora-san comes back?
Nono: Eh!?
Akira: What was Nonomiya like?
Nono: !!
Nono(thought): ...
Nono(thought): Could it be...

Page 9
Nono(thought): Amatsu!!
Nono(thought): He's showing interest in me!!
Nono: No...Nonomiya-kun...
Nono: Was a really good person!!
Nono: He was really good at ski jumping!!
Nono: And he was really popular too!!
Nono: Really nice and dandy!! *TL's Note: Dandy was the word she used...
Akira: I see.
Nono: ...
Nono: Amatsu-kun...
Nono: What do you think...
Nono: About Nonomiya-kun?

Page 10
Akira: My father's rival's---
Akira: Son.
Nono: ...
Nono: Huh?
Nono: Why...?
Akira: 10 years ago in the Olympics---
His father fell, and thanks to him, my father couldn't win the gold medal.

Page 11
Akira: All Nonomiya's father had to do was to jump like a middle schooler and it would have been fine...
Akira: And thanks to his failure, people started calling us the silver medal collectors.
Akira: If he hadn't fell, it wouldn't have happened to us...
Nono(thought): ...Why...
Nono(thought): Just one failed jump from father---
Nono(thought): Is still causing everyone pain 10 years later...
Nono(thought): Not only our family...
Akira: But...
Akira: That happened in their generation.
I'll be satisfied with my own gold medal.

Page 12
Akira: Nonomiya Yuuta---
Akira: Is the only ski jumper that I recognize.
Akira: To the me who have never lost to anyone my age...
He is a big wall that I have to overcome.
Akira: It's true that my father lost the gold medal because of his father...
And I was bullied in school as well because of that.
Akira: That's why...
Akira: I understand that he's going through the same thing.

Page 13
Akira: The son of the failed athlete---
Must be suffering countless times more than I am.
Akira: I love ski jumping more than anyone else.
Even then I still have moments when I want to give up the sport.
Akira: But Nonomiya, while enduring more than I am, continues to ski jump.
Akira: And he is still that good.
Akira: There's no way I can say this in front of him...
But I respect that guy.
Nono(thought): Amatsu...

Page 14
Nono: Well...
Nono: I've never even once wanted to quit ski jumping.
Nono: Because I really love it!!
Nono: Even more than Amatsu does!!
Nono: ...Is what
Nonomiya-kun said...
Akira: ...
Nono: Because of family circumstances, not being able to ski jump...
Was very painful...

Page 15
Nono: But now I...
Can jump however much I want!!
Nono: ...He said. He was really happy!!
Nono: He lost to Hans this time...
But...
Nono: He can compete on the same stage now!!
Nono: Even though he could only watch before...
Nono: He has never been this happy!!
Akira: ...
Akira: Is that so.
Akira: If you see Nonomiya, tell him this:
Akira: In the next week's competition in Sapporo---

Page 16
Akira: There will be professionals and Olympic veteran jumpers like that Makino we met before.
Akira: Those people in the "seinen division"---
Akira: Will be pushed away by us "shounen division"!! *TL's Note: Seinen and shounen means adults and boys, respectively. Sounds cooler that way, no?
Akira: It's supposed to be our shortcut to the Olympics.
Akira: Tell Nonomiya that for me.
Nono: ...
Ok.
Nono(thought): ...Amatsu sure is an idiot.
Nono(thought): I'm that Nonomiya!!
Nono(thought): He's not honest at all.

Page 17
Nono(thought): He already noticed...
Nono(thought): The fact that I'm Nonomiya.
Nono(thought): Since I'm standing so close...
Nono(thought): Yet he's not getting any hives...
Nono(thought): "There's no way I say it in front of him", huh...
Nono(thought): Because I'm depressed after losing to Hans...
Nono(thought): He's trying to cheer me up while pretending to not notice---
Nono: ...
Nono(thought): Oh no!!
Nono(thought): What should I use as an excuse for cross-dressing!?

Page 18
And then finally---
We arrived in Hokkaido,
The kingdom of ski jumping!!
