La Corda d'oro - Chapter 53

Girl A: Wow, he’s good looking after all
Girl B: Yunoki-senpai and Tsukimori-kun are both good looking but…
Girl B: If I were to choose one, I think he looks better to me~
Girl C: But wait…
Kaji: Hino-san

Kaji: This is great! You’re here.
Kaji: Wanna eat lunch together?
Girl A: Why did he choose her?
Girl B: She looks so ordinary
Girl C: If it’s Kaji-kun, I’m sure he’ll choose a girl that’s much more beautiful than her…
Girl A: You’re right
Kaji: Hino-san?
Hino: No!
Hino: I’ll be eating lunch with Amou and Fuyuumi

Kaji: Oh you want Amou-san and Fuyuumi-san to come with us?
Hino: ! I don’t mean that!
Girls: KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Kaji: What’s going on?
Hino: Well…see that over there
Hino: That’s Yunoki-senpai and his ardent fans…
Kaji: His ardent fans?!
Hino: Yes, his ardent fans

Kaji: Wow…he’s surely something
Hino: Well…in certain ways yes, he’s is
Hino: Sigh…it’s just the same as always, those people
Kaji: What’s wrong? Why are you sighing?
Hino: Huh?
Hino: No, nothing at all
Kaji: Really?
Hino: Yeah
Kaji: Well then, let’s eat together, shall we?
Hino: Huh?
Girl A: That girl over there, she’s been the center of attention these days
Girl A: She’s from the general education department, isn’t she?
Girl B: Yeah, it looks like he’s getting along quite well with that Hino
Girl C: I heard that people are saying that he came here chasing after her…
Girl B: Wow!
Girl B: Is that for real?

Girl C: Well
Girl C: That guy is just nothing to the likes of Yunoki-sama
Girl C: He isn’t that much of a deal anyway
Yunoki: There there
Yunoki: Please don’t say these kind of things
Yunoki: Don’t you all think he’s quite charming?
Girl A: Yunoki-sama…

Kaji: Hino-san~~~
Kaji: Are you going home now?
Hino: Yeah
Kaji: Let’s go home together!
Hino: …Kaji-kun
Hino: Although he told me he likes my performance…
Hino: …Yeah, sure
Kaji: Yay!
Hino: He’s constantly around me…but maybe it’s just too much on my mind?
Kaji: Speaking of which, how did the performance with Tsuchiura went?
Hino: Oh that!
Hino: There’s only the director and people from the PTA, so I was really anxious.
Kaji: That’s good~~ I wish I was able to hear it

Hino: But it was fun because it’s been a long time
Kaji: How regrettable, I want to be there to hear it too
Guy A: Did you see that? The girl in front of the gate
Guy B: Wow, she’s cute!! And she got a driver with her
Guy A: Is she a junior high school student?
Hino: A beautiful girl…
Hino: Hmm…?

Hino: Mi…
Hino: Miyabi-chan!?
Miyabi: Kahoko-san?
Miyabi: Long time no see
Hino: Why are you here?
Miyabi: Well..erm…
Miyabi: I’m supposed to be shopping with my brother

Miyabi: But since he got an emergency all of a sudden
Miyabi: It looks like he’ll be late
Hino: What a bad brother
Hino: To make such a cute younger sister waiting for him
Miyabi: Haha
Hino: Huh? What is it?
Miyabi: No, it’s just that, it’s rare
Miyabi: To hear someone talking about my brother like you did
Hino: S, sorry!
Miyabi: No, it’s okay. It’s not about that
Kaji: Hino-san
Kaji: Who’s this cute young lady over here?
Hino: Sorry sorry, Kaji-kun
Hino: You know about Yunoki-senpai right?
Hino: Well, this is his sister
Miyabi: I apologize for not introducing myself earlier
Miyabi: My name is Yunoki Miyabi
Miyabi: Could you be…

Miyabi: Kahoko-san’s boyfriend?
Hino: NO NO NO.
Hino: We just happened to be walking alongside each other
Kaji: No way, to say that I am going out with Hino
Miyabi: Am I wrong?
Hino: You’re wrong
Miyabi: If that’s the case
Miyabi: Would you guys like to come along?
Miyabi: We could go ahead first, and meet up with my brother later
Miyabi: Let’s do that, Kahoko-san!

Hino: What’s this with Yunoki-senpai
Hino: What is he thinking?
Hino: I can never ever completely grasp his thoughts
Hino: But I guess he’s a good brother to Miyabi-chan
Miyabi: Speaking of which, Kahoko-san
Miyabi: My brother has brought you many troubles before
Miyabi: And I am very sorry about that

Hino: Before?
Miyabi: Well you see…when you were at our place…
Hino: Oh!
Hino: The time with his fiancé
Miyabi: My brother must’ve forced you to do this, right?
Hino: Ahahaha, well forced…
Hino: I guess I wasn’t given a choice to say no to begin with
Hino: But I guess I don’t have the courage to say no in front of Yunoki-senpai…
Miyabi: You and my brother are getting along pretty well, don’t you think?
Hino: Nononononono, nothing like that at all!!
Hino: Besides we have different circumstances
Hino: Of course we don’t get along bad either
Hino: It’s just that, I never understand very well what Yunoki-senpai is thinking……
Hino: Sorry…I shouldn’t say that in front of his sister
Miyabi: It’s okay
Miyabi: Hey…Kahoko-san

Miyabi: My brother…
Miyabi: Is he acting different in the school?
Hino: Different?
Hino: …He did behave differently with Hihara-senpai
Hino: But that’s been solved…as for others
Hino: He resigned from the selection camp…something like that
Miyabi: ……
Hino: Miyabi-chan?

Miyabi: Hino-san…you know…
Hino: Delicious!
Miyabi: Yes, it is~
Hino: I didn’t know a shop like this exists!
Hino: What’s your cake, Miyabi-chan?
Miyabi: Mine’s raspberry~
Hino: What is it, Kaji-kun?
Kaji: Well, I was just thinking that smile of yours look adorable…

Miyabi: I guess I am in between you guys, am I not?
Hino: HUH? No, not at all, Miyabi-chan!!
Kaji: That’s right, you’re not interfering with us.
Kaji: I’m happy to meet you, Miyabi-chan
Miyabi: You see, my brother…
Miyabi: He’s only going to pursue music as a profession until the end of senior high
Miyabi: Although he said he’s okay with it…
Miyabi: I wonder if he said it because grandmother said so
Miyabi: Or perhaps he’s doing it for the sake of the honor of the family
Miyabi: Or maybe he’s just forcing himself to say so…

Miyabi: Whenever I look at my brother
Miyabi: It makes me worry about him more and more…
Hino: ……
Yunoki: Miyabi
Miyabi: ! Brother!
Yunoki: Sorry I’m late, Miyabi
Miyabi: It’s okay
Miyabi: Kahoko-san and Kaji-san are together with me

Yunoki: I see
Yunoki: Thanks, Hino-san
Hino: It’s nothing
Yunoki: You’re Kaji-kun, aren’t you?
Kaji: Ah yes, Kaji Aoi.
Yunoki: I see…
Yunoki: A pleasure to meet you.

Kaji: The pleasure is mine…
Kaji: Pleased to be your acquaintance
Miyabi: Brother, what about this?
Yunoki: Ah, it looks great on you, Miyabi
Miyabi: But I am also thinking about the pair of boots in the last store
Miyabi: Which one should I choose?
Yunoki: Well then, how about getting both?
Miyabi: Is that okay?
Yunoki: Why of course
Yunoki: What about others?
Miyabi: Hmm…let me think
Miyabi: Oh this!
Miyabi: It’s wonderful!
Kaji: What’s up?
Hino: Nothing…how should I put this…

Hino: Speaking of which, Kaji-san’s also quite wealthy
Kaji: I’m not like that, really
Hino: What’s your father’s occupation then?
Kaji: Um…a senator
Hino: See!
Hino: I’m the only one who’s a peasant!!
Kaji: Wait, Hino-san!?
Kaji: And that’s my fault?
Hino: I’m just kidding, sorry sorry
Hino: I’m gonna go to the bathroom

Miyabi: Whenever I look at my brother
Miyabi: It makes me worry about him more and more…
Hino: Yunoki-senpai is forcing himself…?
Hino: Yunoki-senpai is ill-natured, capricious, and somewhere within him has a façade of ice
Hino: Other than music, I can’t feel he has any attachment with anything else
Hino: “Because it’s Yunoki-senpai”
Hino: To that extent, there isn’t much I can feel about him
Miyabi: He said it because grandmother said so
Miyabi: Or perhaps he’s doing it for the sake of the honor of the family……

Yunoki’s Grandmother: Concour should not be your priority, your priority is your academics.
Yunoki’s Grandmother: You must not do anything that will bring dishonour to the family.
Yunoki: Don’t worry, grandmother…
Yunoki: I won’t bring you any trouble, please do not worry about this.
Hino: ……
Hino: The problem with fiancé aside…
Hino: This is quite a difficult family…
Hino: !
Hino: Yunoki-senpai…?

Hino: What’s going on?
Yunoki: Just taking a break
Yunoki: We aren’t done with the shopping anyway
Hino: Ahh I see
Hino: ……
Hino: Oh right
Hino: Tsuchiura and I performed together lately
Hino: It was really fun
Hino: …If possible, would Yunoki-senpai…
Yunoki: Wow, Tsuchiura surely did something different
Yunoki: Don’t you think performing together with you might cause him trouble?
Hino: That…that may be so
Hino: I just think that maybe…if I can catch up little bit at a time…
Yunoki: My my, don’t you think you’ve been practicing quite enthusiastically these days?

Yunoki: Do you think you will be able to make it now even if you work harder?
Yunoki: You think you’ll be able to become their equals?
Yunoki: How naïve
Hino: I, I never thought that I will be their equals…I just
Hino: I just want to try my best
Hino: Because violin is really enjoyable
Hino: That’s all
Yunoki: Trying your best you say?
Yunoki: That’s something that no matter how hard you try, you won’t be able to accomplish.

Hino: …Why?
Hino: Why do you have to look as though you’ve given up on yourself since the beginning?

Hino: …That’s right…
Hino: That’s right…this person……

Hino: Because ever since the beginning
Hino: He gave up on himself somewhere along the way
Hino: It’s not like that…
Hino: It’s not like that, Yunoki-senpai!

Hino: I will not give up
Hino: Never ever!

Yunoki: …
Yunoki: You’re really annoying
Hino: That’s right
Hino: I am annoying, that’s why I’m naïve

Miyabi: Thanks for everything both of you
Hino: Same here
Hino: It’s fun to spend time with Miyabi-chan
Kaji: Those two people sure leave an impression on others
Hino: You’re right
Kaji: ……

Kanazawa: How’s the preparation going?
Kanazawa: Well, in your case
Kanazawa: You’ve been trying to pursue studying abroad, haven’t you?
