Title: White Storm (5)

Page 62:
Rei: Um...
When did it start?
Pres: Yeah...
Hm, it's been a while...
Just over 10 years ago.
Man, it has been a long time.
SFX: ZAAAAAA
Pres: He would go in and out
of 'being able to hear' and 'not being able to hear'.

Page 63:
Pres: We went to the doctor, but they couldn't find the cause.
----They kept saying 'It's stress.' and couldn't do a thing about it.
SFX: ZAAAAAAA...
Pres: And
being the guy he is,
at first
he would go to the hospital, but later
he would say things like 'It's quiet and it's really not a problem, don't worry about it'...

Page 64:
Rei: What...?
Wouldn't hearing that
get you worried?
I mean...
Narr: 'When he's talking to people'
----he was about to say,
when the platform that morning in Morioka popped into his mind.
Rei: I've never seen him traveling with anyone else.
Or seen him laughing and talking with someone...
In every memory I have of this person
he was always alone.
When was that?
----I think it was the first time I won a children's tournament in elementary school...

Page 65:
Rei: In that case...
In that case, even back then
he was already......
Um...
Does anyone else...
Pres: Yeah.
The people that go up against him a lot in matches...
----Though,
basically the only people meeting Souya
are people that go up against him as challengers in title matches.
So there aren't too many.

Page 66:
Pres: Well,
he wasn't particularly trying to hide it,
but because there would be some drawbacks, he said to keep quiet about it.
Souya: I just need to finish my games before the countdown begins, right?
----It shouldn't really be a problem.
Pres: -----That's what he said. Do you believe that?
Ya know,
honestly,
I'm worried
but he's pretty carefree about it.
Well, he's actually
been that kind of person going way back.
Even if he says totally off-the-wall things,
people just go 'Well, he's always been like that.' ["always" in italics.]
so he can pass himself off pretty well.

Page 67:
Pres: -----Also,
the greetings and questions before and after matches
are all pretty much the same in order and content.
So ironically,
as he become a demon at shogi,
and he looked like he was going crazy little by little,
people observing him end up interpreting that as 'Well, I guess that's how you know he's a genius.'
and it excites them...
Though
once he goes back to his room
he generally just sleeps till morning.
So at this point, I can leave him alone and he'll be okay.

Page 68:
Pres: But honestly, you were a big help.
----I was nervous he'd be walking around in the rain looking for a hotel.
He's got the 7th match of the Gokushou Champtionship coming up...
SFX: ZAAAAA
Pres: So you really saved us by picking him up like that.
----But Kiriyama,
I was thinking back in Kyoto,
In Bubble: That time with Shimada
Pres: you really are sorta... good at taking care of people.
Are you sure you're a kid from today's generation?
That about you being born in the Heisei era is a joke, right?
Handwritten: Are you a caring mother deep down?
Rei: ...I'm 18.
Pres: ......
By the way,
that was an interesting game.
It was like you could
carry out normal communication with Souya...

Page 69:
Pres: He kind of
smiled.
Black Bars: ----The next morning
when I woke up, the typhoon had passed.
Woman: Huh?
Um... What about the bill?
Woman: The payment for your stay
was paid by the one you came in with, Souya-sama.
SFX: GAAH
Black Bar: And when I went outside

Page 70:
Black Bars: Sendai's sky
was a nonsensical blue that spread out forever
Rei: It didn't feel real at all.
The storm yesterday
felt so far away
it seemed like a dream...
Black Bars: like something a child had painted.
Rei: Even though I was sure
that the two of us
had walked together
in the rain.

Page 71:
Rei: Starting from hour 3
I was able to attend class
but maybe because I was so exhausted
the voice of the teacher
and the commotion in the classroom
felt faintly distant
and didn't really go into my head much...
But

Page 72:
Black Bars: those sounds of the pieces
I heard at that place
just wouldn't

Page 73:
Rei: stop ringing...
Smith: Ah, hey, Kiriyama.
Sounds like that typhoon gave you a lot of trouble.
Kiriyama?
SFX: GAAAH
Smith: What's with him? He's totally out of it.
Shige: I guess he's gotta be worn out, going to class straight from Sendai.
Handwritten: School's got phys-ed and stuff like that, right? You need stamina for that.
Sign: Reference Room
