Narration: When I was in elementary school
my parents divorced so I moved from Tokyo to my mom's hometown.
The school I transferred to was a small school near the sea. And when summer came, I had long-distance swimming lessons.
I liked swimming,
but I was astonished by how different the sea was from a pool.
To start with, the water was shockingly salty,
all the waves keep coming and push you around,
and with the timing I used to try to breathe, I could never catch my breath!!
SFX: DOH PAN GYAAAH DOH PAN

Page 84:
Guy: Suddenly, the tip of my toe
hit a cold current of water
----and I felt afraid
that I had touched some sort of
strange creature.
For a frail child that grew up in the city,
the first thing
I had to drill into myself was
SFX: KAHAHH PUHAHH
Guy: to make sure not to panc.
Intercom: ----Next is
Sendagaya
Sendagaya
SFX: ZATAN TOTON...

Page 85:
Guy: That I wasn't hasty
and started flailing around.
Sign: Sendagaya Station
Guy: That even if there's someone passing next to you at an incredible speed...
...
SFX: DADADADADADADA
Guy: ...Wautm
isn't that guy that just sprinted past me
my opponent today...?
Handwritten: Hm...
Guy: ----That you shouldn't ruin your pace because you got caught up in what they were doing.
I don't doubt he's in high school.
He's still doing phys ed and that sort of thing.
SFX: TEKU TEKU TEKU

Guy: Huh?!
The canned shiruko is 'sold out'?!
T/N: Shiruko is adzuki bean soup with pieces of mochi.
Guy: This ain't good! Irie-san's got a match today, right?
That's his precious energy source!
Do you think we'll make it if we put more in now? It's gotta get warm though.
I don't think so. Not in time for his before-noon break.
How in the world did the supply run this low?
Handwritten (In Bubble): Has somebody been drinking these like water?
Handwritten: Hurry, hurryyy!
Guy: Ah!
Kumakura-san had a match here yesterday!!
Oh, so Kuma-san ate it all?
Handwritten: Culprit
Guy: How many of these things did that guy eat?!
Handwritten (Bottom): Huge intake
SFX: GUUUBI GUUUBI KUIH

Pres: Ooh, Irie-chan,
want some sweets?
We just got these, they're youkan!!
Irie: Oh, good morning, President.
You sure?
Pres: So, how's it goin'?
You've got a match today, right? With Kiriyama-chan?
Irie: Yes.
Handwritten: Umm...
I guess I'll take one.
No, two would be great.
Became a pro at age 15 ["age 15" bold]
Born in April
16 Years Old [Bold]
Kiriyama [On the person]
1st year
2nd year
3rd year [Big/grey]
19 years old [Top left]
Kiriyama [On the person]
Second panel Handwritten: Became a pro at age 23 [Age 23 bold]
9 Years [Top]
11 years
20 Years [Big]
This year is his 3rd year in B2.
Pres: It sure is strange.
In just 3 years, Kiriyama came all the way up to DUN DADAAA! B2. [3 years bold]
And now he's up against you that took 20 years to get there!! [20 years bold]
Handwritten (White/big): Yes in-deedy.
Handwritten: Uh, hey, Pres!!
How can you say something like that just before a match?!
Guy: Irie-senseI!! It's 5 minutes to, you might want to get moving!

Page 88:
Irie: I'll have to keep studying.
Guy: Sheesh, President...
You can't be saying weird things like that to players right before their matches!!
Pres: What're you on about?
I was just tryin' to get him to relax.
It's fine!! Irie isn't the kind of man who's lose his composure from a little jab like that.
I mean, this is the guy's 23rd year as a pro and he's still got
over a 62% win rate.
He's a strange man... He's takes his time too much, but he's always been a strong player!
In baseball terms, that's like a batter that's been on a team for 20 years
and has continuously batted at in the .300's.

Page 89:
Guys: I mean, are jabs like that
really necessary for players right before a match?
Small In Bubble: Doesn't that hurt the stamina of a player doing that right before the match?
Pres: HUHH?!!
Handwritten: Does it?!!
Guy: Did you just get that now?!
Irie: 19 years old......
---So that means he was born 2 years after i became a pro...?
He sure got big.
Enough time for
a baby like this
to get this big
has passed since I became a pro......?
Well,
I got older, too.
SFX: JIH... SHIMIJIMI... (STARING)

Page 90:
Iri: ---That's actually really...
incredible.
Let's have a good game.
It's like 'time' itself
is sitting there, wearing clothes, right in front of me.
3 years
and 20 years, huh...?
SFX: PCHIH
Irie: 2-5 Fu.
A side fu, huh...?
---2-7 Fu.
SFX: PACHI...

Page 91:
Irie: -----He's taking a while...
I sure didn't expect him to take nearly 2 hours here...
We're still only at the beginning of the mid-game, aren't we?
2 hours, here...?
What is the world
is he looking at right now?

Page 92:
SFX: SUH
Irie: ---And
he's retreating?
He's pulling the gin he moved up before back?
It took him nearly 2 hours
to decide on that...?
---There it goes again.
Whenever I lose sight of a move,
I remember the time I almost drowned at a long-distance swim meet.
I was over-eager.
I got startled when my hand got tangled in a piece of seaweed.
And I got hit by a wave right when I was trying to take a breath
---and I swallowed a lot of water.

Page 93:
Irie: I panicked because I missed that breath.
I lost all composure and couldn't tell which way was up.
---And it ended with my sensei
pulling me out of the water
and me crying my eyes out.
----'First, calm down.'
'Don't go into a panic.'
'If you calm down, the sea will naturally float you to the surface.'
'Until you're calm, turn on your back
and look at the sky.'

SFX: SUH..
SFX: HYOI SAHH
Irie: Darn...
Can: Uminoya
Shiruko
With Grains
Paper: *The shiruko is heating up.
It was put in at 10AM.

Irie: ...
SFX: PORI... (Scratch)
Guy: Hey theeere!
Irie-san!!
Handwritten: Hot cans.
SFX: SUSUSU... NYARI... (GRIN) HONWAAA DAPU DAPU
Irie: ......
You're a life saver!!
Handwritten: Nakamura-san!!
Handwritten: What's goin' on? You warmed them in hot water?
For mer?!
SFX: BUHAH
Irie: ---Yeah.
After every long-distance swim meet,
I have hiyashi ame and watermelon waiting for me
because to a worn out body
the sweetness of that hiyashi ame is tasty enough to make me go numb.
T/N: Hiyashi ame is a cold ginger drink, often drank in the summer.

Page 96:
Bar: Even now, I can never forget that.
Irie: First, calm down.
Don't go into a panic.
WHEEEW! That is sweet!
It really is!
Bar: The sweetness of that hiyashi ame
Irie: If you calm down, the sea will naturally float you to the surface.
Until you're calm, turn on your back
and look at the sky.
Bar: Or my sensei's words.
