Chapter 18

45

Students: It's tomorrow...
Students: The Nine-ball match over 4.8 million yen between Shirasagi and Asahina!!
Title: Fight 18 Shirasagi Yumeichirou

Students: By the way, did you hear?
Students: There's a rumor that Shirasagi-kun actually has pro-level billiards skills...

Students: No way!! That's gotta just be a rumor. It's one of the mental strategies he uses.
Students: But he's been absent from school this whole week.
Students: He has to be preparing some kind of secret plan.

Sign: Billiards Team

46

Students: Not even Shirasagi can win this time.
Students: He's up against the world junior champion, Asahina Rio!!
Title: Fight 18 Shirasagi Yumeichirou

47

48

Girls: Ho ho ho!! This is some pretty basic training for the world champ.
Girls: Or is it that even a top class player doesn't stop practicing the basics every day?

Asahina: Sorry...but could you not talk to me?
Asahina: It's distracting.

Girls: Ohh, elite sports scholarship students sure are haughty!!
Girls: Can you not even talk with normal members like us?

Girls: You sure are getting worked up over a match against a novice.
Girls: But I guess it can't be helped...

Girls: 4.8 million must sound really good to a poor person...

49

Girls: And aren't you broke because a swindler took away all of your family's money?
Girls: Ohh, poor thing!! Ho ho ho!!!

Mika: Stop that!!
Text above girls: Ho ho...

Girls: Mi...
Girls: Mika-san!!

50

Mika: Rio is a good friend of mine...So you should consider...
Mika: any bit of rudeness towards her to be rudeness towards me, Shishidou Mika.

Girls: W-we weren't being rude. Don't be silly!!
Girls: Excuse us!!

Asahina: Heh heh...Oh, Mika.
Asahina: What about the tennis team's practice, captain?
Mika: Heh heh...As your sponsor, I came to see how you were doing.
Mika: There's a rumor going around the academy that Shirasagi has quite some skill at billiards.

Asahina: Do you think a billiards player would let his finger be cut off?
Asahina: And well... even a novice can master getting the ball in in 10 days.

Mika: What do you mean?

51

Asahina: Choose a spot on the table...
Asahina: and point to it with your finger.
Mika: Like this?

Asahina: The training I was just doing was basic but not easy...
Asahina: For Nine-ball, the skills of getting the ball in and stopping the cue ball are needed.

Asahina: The ability to get the target ball in the pocket is called getting it in...
Asahina: And the ability to have the cue ball stop in the spot you were aiming for...

52

Asahina: is called stopping the cue ball.

Mika: ...Impressive.

Asahina: I can do it every time.
Asahina: The top pros can get it within a few millimeters.

Asahina: Even if Shirasagi managed to master getting the ball in, if he can't stop the cue ball, he can't run out.
Asahina: Spending huge amounts of time practicing and playing countless games.
Asahina: That is the art known as billiards.

53

Asahina: I won't even give him a single game tomorrow.
Sign: Girls Locker Room
Asahina: I will win and have him tell me the location of his father.

Mika: I knew your parents had all their assets taken by a swindler...
Mika: But...

Mika: I never would have thought that...
Mika: that swindler was Shirasagi Tomu's father...

Asahina: There's no mistake...It was Shirasagi Yumeichirou!!
Asahina: He's the demon who took everything from us!!

54

Asahina: Mika...I need to thank you.
Mika: Eh?
Asahina: It was because you recommended me to be a scholarship student at this academy...
Asahina: that I got this chance to find Shirasagi Yumeichirou.

55

Asahina: Turn around. I'll wash your back in thanks.
Mika: Eh?
Mika: Y-you don't have to do that...

Asahina: You don't need to be embarrassed!! I washed it plenty of times way back when, right?
Mika: Heh heh...

Mika: Your family's inn...The water was so nice.
Mika: It all started when my family stayed there and I met you...
Asahina: Yes...It's so nostalgic.

56

Asahina: My family's inn had been a well known hot spring since the Edo period...
Asahina: I befriended you when the Shishidou family stayed there and we became famous and became influential in the political and financial worlds...

Asahina: The inheritor and manager of the inn, my father, loved to...
Asahina: teach me, his daughter, the basics of billiards in the recreation room.

Asahina: My father's dream had been to become a professional billiards player since he was a kid...
Asahina: As I improved, he took joy in it as if it was he himself who was improving.

57

Mika: You must have wanted to show your father your world junior champion trophy...
Asahina: Yes...If it wasn't for that incident...

Asahina: Our inn had the first food poisoning scare since it had started.
Asahina: A lot of guests had to be taken to the hospital.

Asahina: And, unfortunately, one of those people had connections with the yakuza.
Asahina: They charged my father a hundred million yen in consolation money.

Asahina: Even though we were a well established inn, we couldn't prepare that kind of money...
Asahina: So they gave us an unexpected deal.

58

Father: What!? You want us to lend you my bank account?
Man: We actually want you to open an account with a private Swiss bank so we can use it.
Man: The paperwork has already been prepared.

Man: My group has a hundred billion in assets overseas... But the police have marked it so we can't take it or move it.
Man: We were looking for a safe account to temporarily store it in.

Father: Th-that's money laundering...
Father: That's a crime...!
Man: It's just business.

Man: Afterwards, we'll pay you for cooperating with us.
Man: How does a hundred million sound?

59

Asahina: My father didn't know what to do and asked a certain man for advice.
Asahina: His name was Hanazawa and he was a regular guest at our inn and was a famous management consultant for businesses.

Hanazawa: Asahina-san, this type of foul business is my specialty, so leave it to me.
Hanazawa: Money laundering is illegal, but you have no choice.

Asahina: Hanazawa's company loaned us the money necessary to open the private bank account.
Note at bottom: Unlike at normal banks, an account at a private bank requires about 10 million yen to open.
Asahina: Once the paperwork and personal information was dealt with, all that was left was to square away the cooperation money.

60

Asahina: My father was upset and cornered....
Asahina: The way he was enticed was more ingenious than anything.

Asahina: After that, he couldn't contact Hanazawa.
Asahina: And the yakuza that had been so persistent before vanished.

Asahina: By the time we realized it, everything had been withdrawn from my father's account via an illegal access...
Asahina: The food poisoning and the money laundering were all a trap used to get my father's personal information.

Asahina: And in the end...
Mother: Honey!!!
Asahina: Papa!!
Asahina: Papaaaaa!!

61

Asahina: My father already had a chronic heart disease and when the shock of losing everything was added to that...
Father: Rio...
Father: Rio...I give this to you...

Father: It's my good luck charm...This eight-ball will bring you happiness...
Father: It will bring good luck to your future...

Asahina: Papa...

62

Asahina: Papaaaaaa!!!!

Mika: And that eight-ball was the one you threw into Shirasagi's hospital room to challenge him, wasn't it?
Mika: You were saying that you would get vengeance for your father.
Asahina: Yes...

Asahina: My father wasn't the only one who was swindled.
Asahina: At the same time, the same trick was used throughout the country. And the man at the center of it all was the one calling himself Hanazawa...

63

Asahina: His real name was Shirasagi Yumeichirou!! And...
Asahina: The son who inherited that demon's genes is the gambler Shirasagi Tomu!!!

64

Mika: In that case...that's all the more reason I can't let him do as he wishes here...!!
Mika: What is he planning by coming to this academy!?

Asahina: Don't worry, Mika. I'll win tomorrow and have him confess it all.
Asahina: My skill is enough.
Asahina: But I also have my father's good luck charm to bring me "luck"!!

Mika: That's right, Rio...It will bring you "good luck"...
Mika: and it will bring Shirasagi "bad luck"!!

Wunderwitzl:

You do realise we can just take even longer to scanlate this... right? It's actually very tempting to take longer scanlating for every whine we read about the project scanlation speed of ours.
