La Corda d'Oro - Chapter 55
Tsukimori: No! Your right hand should be... Tsukimori: Ah... Tsukimori: Sorry... Hino: No, not at all...
Hino's Friend: There should be stuff like that... Hino's Friend: Right? Hino's Friend: (Two people alone in an enclosed room after school) Hino's Friend: This is so wonderful Hino: How is that possible Hino: Tsukimori-kun and I?
Hino: No, no, no, no. No way. Private Lesson from Tsukimori has begun!!
Girl A: Hey, did you hear? Girl B: I did. She's really crazy, don't you think? Girl C: With those skills of hers she actually wants to appear in the concour...... Girl B: I also heard that someone saw her Girl B: Practicing with Tsukimori-kun Girl A: Huh really!? Hino: Well...yeah. But I guess there's nothing I can do about these gossips Hino: Even though I am used to getting these reactions from participating in the concours Tsukimori: Let me teach you. I can spare some time doing this. Tsukimori: Therefore, I don't want you to give up...
Hino: And it's because of what he said... Tsukimori: What's that vibrato? It sounds like it was played by a drunkard
Hino: Huh? Um... Hino: ...Like a drunkard Tsukimori: Hino...can you stop looking at me with a face that reads "It's easier to be said than done"? Tsukimori: Listen, this part should be...
Hino: I like Hino: Tsukimori's melodies Hino: ...After all Hino: Even the first time when I heard it Tsukimori: Let your tempo run slightly slow Tsukimori: Try to play it carefully Hino: Yes Hino: I am starting to like it more and more
Tsukimori: When you play a double stop, play it so that the strings receive an equal amount of pressure Hino: Yes Tsukimori: Don't let it sound choppy when you are switching between the strings or withdrawing your bow Hino: Yes Tsukimori: There are times when you cease all of a sudden and there aren't any melodies coming out at all, keep that in mind Hino: Yes, teacher! Tsukimori: Can't you stop that? (About calling me teacher) Hino: Sorry, sorry, just kidding. (Don't get mad at me) Tsukimori: Anyway...It looks like I have time the day after tomorrow. I will be a little late, but if it's okay...with you Hino: Really? Hino: Being late is alright with me. (Thanks Tsukimori-kun!) Tsukimori: So I hope that you can make some improvements with regards to what I said before Hino: Urgh...(I'll try my best) Hino: Oh, Tsukimori-kun goes that way, right? Well, I am this way. Tsukimori: Yeah Tsukimori: Well then, bye Hino: Yeah, goodbye (Thank you for your hard work)
Hino: I must try my best and practice Girl A: It's getting dark sooner, lately Girl B: Yeah
Saotome: I can't believe you'd actually have the determination to make an appearance Hino: Didn't you said that, Saotome-sensei Saotome: And you're serious about it... Hino: But... Saotome: Well, don't give up Hino: ! Kanazawa: Please don't be too harsh on her, sensei. Saotome: Kanazawa-sensei Kanazawa: It looks like Hino's working really hard on it Kanazawa: It also seems that Tsukimori is helping her twice a week Saotome: I see Saotome: Well...
Saotome: I wonder where she'll get to Saotome: It's truly something worth ascertain Hino: Tsukimori-kun...is late Hino: He told me he'd be okay today Hino: I can't believe you'd actually have the determination to make an appearance Hino: Since I'm already in this situation, I am going to join the concour no matter what! Hino: I will win the concour! Hino: Erh...well...winning it will be impossible.... Hino: Maybe the second place, or the third place...or...... Hino: This is just impossible...... Hino: That and... Hino: If only I could express my style in my performance... Tsukimori: Sorry, I am late Tsukimori: I was late from my practicing... Hino: It's okay, it's okay Hino: Don't worry about it Tsukimori: No, that won't do
Tsukimori: I have promised you so, I can't just let it slide easily Hino: Thanks Hino: But Tsukimori-kun is busy as well Hino: Tsukimori-kun is really serious Tsukimori: No Tsukimori: I won't be able to forgive myself Tsukimori: If I can't let you improve slightly Hino: Tsukimori-kun is really strict... Tsukimori: Well then, lets begin Hino: Ah, yes! (Please instruct me) Hino: Oww Hino: Ah, this is enough. My waist and everywhere else is aching Tsukimori: You look miserable just from doing all that work Hino: That's because~~ Hino: ----Ah, Tsukimori-kun is that way, right? Hino: Well then, see ya
Tsukimori: ...No Tsukimori: I will walk you home Hino: ......Huh? Hino: It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay. You don't have to pay attention to me, Tsukimori-kun!! Tsukimori: No...it's dark already Hino: But, I am already thankful that you're spending time with me for my practices, and if I were to take up any more of your time Tsukimori: No Tsukimori: I hope that you can allow me to walk you home
Tsukimori: ...I Tsukimori: I don't know these kinda stuff very well Tsukimori: And you have to go home all by yourself in this darkness Tsukimori: I have some responsibilities since I was late Hino: Thank you... Hino: He said he wants to walk me home... I am glad about Tsukimori-kun's kindness Hino: I'm happy Hino: ...But Hino: It's so quiet... Hino: Everytime when the practice is finished we go our separate ways, but no matter what it is, this is slightly different than all those times Hino: Is it because I never acknowledge it all the other times or... Hino: Or maybe, I realized I don't know what to say when I feel that we are walking home together...
Hino: Ahh--- I must do something about this anxiety!! Hino: It looks like my stomach can't do anything about this anxiety.... Hino: Here you go Tsukimori: You're the one who's hungry, right? Hino: I have mine, so it's okay Hino: (Ah, that was so embarrassing!) Hino: That um...Other than having you walking me home, we made an extra trip here so... (This is a make up for all that)
Hino: Um Hino: You dislike this? (The meat buns) Tsukimori: Ah...no Tsukimori: It's just...I never had a chance to eat outside like this Hino: YOU SERIOUS!? You've never bought anything on the street!? Tsukimori: Not at all Hino: So it's the first time you bought meat buns from a convenient store? Tsukimori: Yeah Hino: What a pity, since it's delicious
Tsukimori: ...It's good Hino: Isn't it?
Hino: (Anyway) It's been getting cold Hino: Then there will be sports day and bunkasai Hino: As for the music department only those who wish to participate will be included Tsukimori: Yeah Tsukimori: It looks like Hihara-senpai participates every year Hino: (Ahaha) That sounds like Hihara-senpai Hino: But when you think about it... Hino: The second semester is already here Hino: And after that Hino: We will become 3rd year students...
Tsukimori: Actually...
Hino: Time flies Hino: Speaking of which Hino: I've heard that everyone in the music department just move up a grade in the same class setting? Tsukimori: Hino Hino: Yes?
Tsukimori: Nothing... Tsukimori: Sorry, nothing at all. Tsukimori: ...Let's go Hino: "Actually..."? Hino: Ah, this is my place Hino: I'm sorry, Tsukimori-kun Hino: This must've been quite a distance Tsukimori: No... Tsukimori: It was nothing Hino: Um... Hino: What should I say...
Hino: Saying my thanks face to face with him Hino: ...I'll become embarrassed Tsukimori: See you Hino: Huh! Hino: Ah, um...Thanks Hino: ...That's not it Tsukimori: I hope that you can allow me to walk you home Tsukimori: ...I Tsukimori: I don't know these kinda stuff very well Hino: Thank you very much, Tsukimori-kun
Hino: I was really happy Hino: With this feeling Hino: Take care on your way home
Hino: Tsukimori-kun's Hino: Kindness... Tsukimori: There Tsukimori: You have extra melodies in it with that moving position of yours Hino: I'm sorry Tsukimori: Why is it that you can't play properly Tsukimori: Play it again, from the beginning Hino: Y, yes! Tsukimori: Look, there you have it again Hino: Yesssss Tsukimori: Again! Hino: Can't I withdraw what I said earlier...
Girl A: Tsukimori-kun? Girl A: This is Tsukimori-kun Girl A: After all! Tsukimori: Miyaji...san? (Why are you here?) Hino: Ah... Miyaji: I am here to meet Tsukimori-kun! Miyaji: Though that's what I want to say Miyaji: I am here because I have business with a teacher whom took care of me when I was under the hospitality of Seiso Gakuen Miyaji: I was thinking if I will be able to meet Tsukimori-kun, but looks like I can Miyaji: You're doing fine? Tsukimori: Yeah Hino: This person is Hino: The girl from the camping...
Miyaji: You're going home? Miyaji: If so, would you mind if I come along Miyaji: there is something I want to talk to Tsukimori-kun about...it has to do with stu- Tsukimori: Hino Hino: Huh? Tsukimori: ...Sorry Tsukimori: But may I go home early today Tsukimori: This is a conversation that has nothing to do with you... Hino: Yeah... Hino: Alright...
Miyaji: Did I...said something bad? Tsukimori: ...No Tsuchiura: Tsukimori Tsuchiura: You're really... Tsukimori: Tsuchiura, what do you want? Miyaji: Oh, you're the one who plays the piano Tsuchiura: Ah, sorry, but Tsuchiura: May I borrow Tsukimori just a moment? Miyaji: Alright Miyaji: I'll be waiting for you at the main entrance then Tsuchiura: Thanks Miyaji: Not at all
Tsuchiura: I don't intend to spy on you... Tsuchiura: But you haven't told Hino...about your studying abroad, have you? Tsukimori: No Tsuchiura: Why Tsukimori: ...That's because there's no need to Tsuchiura: Are you Tsuchiura: An idiot? Tsuchiura: You've already spent the time to practice with her, why is there such a need to hide it? Tsukimori: Moreover, what's with that attitude of yours just now! Tsuchiura: I'd say
Tsuchiura: Haven't you think about why Hino is the only one that you can't say this to? Hino: I wonder if I said anything that upset him? Hino: But he said there is something that they are going to discuss Hino: Could it be something to do with violin? Hino: Those two are skilled Hino: They stood out when they were in the band camp... Hino: There is nothing I can do just by thinking about it Hino: I'll work hard during my practice tomorrow Tsukimori: ...Can't say it?
Tsuchiura: ~~Darn it Tsuchiura: What exactly do you plan to accomplish Tsuchiura: I'll be frank, I'm okay with it either way, but Tsukimori: What...do you want to say Tsuchiura: I am getting angry Tsuchiura: With that attitude of yours
Tsuchiura: I... Tsuchiura: Like Hinohttps://mangahelpers.com/t/khryuseis/releases/9418Translation: La Corda d'oro 542009-02-05T19:51:54+00:00Khryuseisadmin@mangahelpers.comLa Corda d'Oro - Chapter 54 Pursuing a high education, or studying abroad And what will Kahoko choose---!?
Man: Well then…
Man: I wonder what kind of kids will be here… Amou: Extra! Extra!! Student: What’s this! Student: It’s the latest concour with Tsukimori-kun
Student: All the judges unanimously announce him as the winner Student: He showed his skills in the fierce battlefield of the violin department along with all the other strong university-level competitors Student: His magnificent performance is the highlight of the whole concour…… Hino: …is it? Ousaki: You’re talking about the article on Tsukimori-kun? Hino: Yes Hino: The whole school’s been talking about it today… Ousaki: Yeah, I’ve heard about it too Ousaki: Though I’ve heard from a former judge that Tsukimori-kun is a winner candidate Ousaki: It is impressive that he can win the concour just like that, don’t you think? Hino: Yes, it is impressive Hino: Concour is it… I only know about the school concours, but it is something of great importance after all
Ousaki: …… Hino: What is it? Ousaki-senpai Ousaki: Um…Actually Ousaki: I am going to be in a concour as well Hino: Huh!!! Isn’t that awesome? Ousaki: Oh please…It’s nothing big really Hino: No no, don’t be modest Ousaki: It’s the beginning of next year Hino: Wow~ Please try your best Ousaki: And…that concour takes place in Europe Hino: Europe?! No way, that’s cool! Ousaki: Yeah, so…I apologize right now Ousaki: Since I have to make lots of preparation for the concour Ousaki: It seems that we won’t be able to meet each other anymore like we are now
Hino: Ah……… Ousaki: I am really sorry… Hino: Oh, no Hino: Not at all! Ousaki: But… Hino: You have been very kind to me all this time, Ousaki-senpai Hino: So…
Ousaki: But I am really sorry to leave you here midway Ousaki: I enjoyed having lessons with Hino-san Hino: Thank you very much Hino: But please don’t worry, Ousaki-senpai Ousaki: Well then, before the concour, shall we get some practice done? Ousaki: Oh right, about getting you a teacher Tsukimori: I see… Hino: Well, that means I won’t be able to meet Ousaki-senpai Hino: I feel somewhat lonely~ Ousaki: I’ll come back right away Ousaki: Since I am not going to study abroad Hino: Even though that’s how it is… Ousaki: Speaking of which, that’s Tsukimori-kun’s business Tsukimori: …Huh? Ousaki: I’ve heard about it, congratulations Ousaki: You’ve made it an official decision about stu- Tsukimori: Ousaki-senpai!
Tsukimori: Ah… Tsukimori: Nothing, sorry about that Tsukimori: About that…I am not ready to… Ousaki: Ah, sorry sorry Tsukimori: It’s nothing Hino: “Congratulations”? Hino: I wonder if it’s about the concour Hino: …… Hino: *sigh* I guess I will find some time to see if there’s a chance for me to probe about this…
Kira: So? Kira: How many people accepted the offer? Kanazawa: Hmm, what about it? Kira: …… Kira: Would you put a limit on how much you smoke? Kanazawa: Hmm? Kanazawa: No way no way no way Kanazawa: Speaking of which, they say that if the places that can allow smoking decreases, the smoking population will decrease as well Kira: …… Kanazawa: Oh don’t make that face, Mr. Head of Directors Kira: It’s DIRECTOR. Kanazawa: Okay okay, Mr. Future Head of Directors Kanazawa: So? What about it? Kira: …Originally, the intention was to gather excellent people who are top of the class Kira: We are still investigating if we should choose those first year students who may seem like they are worth being cultivated from now on
Kira: From the standpoint of a special lecturer, we wonder if 4 to 5 people (per class) is efficient…… Hino: Kanazawa-sensei!! Hino: I heard that there’ll be a new teacher coming to the music faculty, is it true!? Hino: !!
Hino: S, s, s, s, sorry!! Kanazawa: Don’t worry Kira: So? Kira: What do you want to know about that new teacher? Hino: Um, yes…actually… Ousaki: Speaking of which… Ousaki: Saotome-sensei is coming back… Hino: Saotome-sensei? Tsukimori: Saotome-sensei you say, could it be that… Ousaki: Yes, yes, you know about him too, Tsukimori Ousaki: It seems like he’s returning home since his contract in Germany has ended… Ousaki: At any rate, it looks like he’s being hired to become one of the lecturers Ousaki: Oh right Ousaki: Saotome-sensei is the one who used to teach me and Tsukimori-kun Hino: Huh, Ousaki-senpai and Tsukimori-kun!? Ousaki: Yeah, we were in the same lecture Hino: Wow, the two of you Tsukimori: Sensei is a wonderful violin performer, so I got influenced by him
Kanazawa: Yeah, looks like he’s their onshi* *Onshi (恩師) is basically a teacher which you owe a great deal of debt or a teacher who has a great deal of influence on you Kanazawa: So? What about that teacher, Hino? Hino: Um… Hino: That uh… Hino: I wonder if it is possible for me to take some lessons with that teacher! Kanazawa: That…it’s too Kanazawa: You’re just a student in the general studies faculty Kanazawa: There are also a number of students in the music faculty that are in Satome-sensei’s class— Hino: I understand this is an unreasonable request, but please!
Kira: Sure, I’ll allow that Kanazawa: Hey Kira: However, it is impossible for me to reduce the number of students from the music faculty (in Satome-sensei’s class) Kira: So this is outside of that matter, and you have to get Saotome-sensei’s personal permission, okay? Hino: Thank you very much! Tsukimori: I wonder if Saotome-sensei will accept Hino’s request……
Ousaki:…Hmmm Kanazawa: Isn’t it difficult, Kira Kanazawa: On top of that, saying that to Hino after knowing how difficult it is Kanazawa: Ahh, now I feel sorry for her Kira: Well, that’s how it is… Kira: But in the case that he accepts her offer Kira: It will be much more interesting, don’t you think? Hino: ……
Hino: Alright! Hino: Excuse me! Hino: …Huh? Hino: What is going on… Shimizu: …Kaho-senpai…? Hino: Shimizu-kun Shimizu: What is going on…senpai? Hino: Um…I’m trying to meet Saotome-sensei in person Hino: So I came here but he isn’t here, how unfortunate
Shimizu: Ah…I have something that I must speak with him as well Hino: You’ve got something to speak with him?! Shimizu-kun Shimizu: Actually…I’ve been waiting for him here since yesterday… Hino: Huh? Yesterday!? Hino: Is he really that impressive as a teacher…? I mean Saotome-sensei Shimizu: Yes… Shimizu: He’s very famous as a performer, and he has lots of experience as a concert master in orchestras overseas… Shimizu: He became a topic that everyone is talking about in the music faculty… Hino: Wow… Hino: I wonder what kind of person Saotome-sensei is… Hino: “Saotome Shizuka-sensei”…is it… Saotome: You called? Hino: …Huh?! Shimizu: Oh…
Hino: …… Hino: Saotome-sensei……? Saotome: Yeah, what about it Hino: Glad to be your acquaintance! Hino: I am Hino Kahoko, 2nd year in the general studies faculty. Hino: Actually, I’ve heard about Saotome-sensei and your merits Hino: And I wish that, if it is possible, could you please give me some guidance--- Saotome: I refuse Hino: Huh?
Saotome: I’ve heard about you from Kira-kun Saotome: I didn’t know we have a general studies student in the school concour Saotome: What? You’re not out of your mind when you made that request? To be honest, it’s a nuisance rather than being an innocent request. Saotome: Why must I be the one who gives you lessons? I still have to recover from the time lag of not being in Japan for 6 years. Saotome: Just don’t bother spending your time trying, okay
Tsuchiura: What is she trying this time? Kaji: She’s not in the classroom in the early morning, breaks and afterschool Hino: Please hear me out one more time! Hino: I understand how this is an audacious request! Hino: Sensei! Hino: Please! Hino: Saotome-sensei!!
Saotome: Don’t call my name Hino: What is this!! Hino: He could’ve just hear me out a bit! Hino: …Well, I know it’s forceful on my end…. Hino: But…
Hino: I guess I’ll go practice… Tsukimori: Sensei, have you got used to the school yet? Saotome: Well, yeah, more or less Saotome: However…well… Saotome: Recently, the students are quite mature, or maybe I should say they’re behaving very well…… Tsukimori: Ah… Saotome: Hmm? Saotome: Is this a student of the music faculty? Saotome: If it is, it sounds very clumsy… Tsukimori: …I’m afraid this is probably……
Tsukimori: Hino-san Saotome: Ah, that girl Saotome: You know her? Tsukimori: Yeah, more or less Saotome: What do you think about her level? Tsukimori: …In all honestly, she is in the beginner’s range, and she is still very unskilled. Tsukimori: ----But she has the melodies (that can captivate people’s heart*) which I am interested in *I took the liberty of adding it here
Saotome: Hmph… Saotome: It’s rare to see you compliment others, Len
Hino: Please Hino: Please hear me out! Hino: Please, Saotome-sensei!
Saotome: Got it… Saotome: However Hino: Huh? Saotome: You must win this (The paper reads: Classical Music Concour)
Hino: Tsukimori-kun… Tsukimori: I heard about it, you’re in the concour? Tsukimori: It became a widespread rumour Hino: Really? Tsukimori: Are you really going to be there? Tsukimori: Isn’t it a bit too heavy on you? Hino: Though you tried to hide it, I can see it in your eyes
Hino: If I don’t Hino: No matter what I do, Saotome-sensei will refuse my request Hino: So… Hino: I said I got influenced by Tsukimori-kun
Hino: …That Hino: I…Tsukimori-kun’s melodies are what I adore…so Hino: If I can be taught by the teacher who influenced Tsukimori-kun when he was a child Hino: Maybe I can follow the path which Tsukimori-kun came from Hino: About the concour… Hino: Although I know that Saotome-sensei may not think so… Hino: Even if it’s something reckless…
Tsukimori: … Tsukimori: Even if that is so, if you have the will to do it… Tsukimori: I will see through it to the end Tsukimori: If I have time for it, I will help you Tsukimori: Therefore
Tsukimori: I don’t want you to give up……https://mangahelpers.com/t/khryuseis/releases/9417Translation: La Corda d'oro 532009-02-05T19:50:16+00:00Khryuseisadmin@mangahelpers.comLa 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: 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?https://mangahelpers.com/t/khryuseis/releases/9416Translation: La Corda d'oro 522009-02-05T19:48:52+00:00Khryuseisadmin@mangahelpers.comLa Corda d’oro – Chapter 52 - Rivals
Tsuchiura+Hino: You mean only the two of us!? Kira: Yeah
Kira: The counsel and the PTA have a summit meeting Kira: So I want you two to play a piece together Hino: Oh… Kira: As one of the breadth of our education system Kira: I want to appeal to them that even the students who are not in the music department also receive a variety of education Tsuchiura: So I guess that means it is a fact for those in the music department to play very well Tsuchiura: Then again, it’s quite an impact if those who are not in the music department can also fair pretty well
Tsuchiura: Ah well, if I have to play it then I guess I’ll just do it Tsuchiura: Speaking of which, it’s been a while since I’ve performed in front of others Hino: Yeah, it’s true Tsuchiura: You gonna start practicing today? Hino Hino: Yes! There’s a song I’d like to finish Tsuchiura: What’s this? You seem to be very happy about this Hino: Huh? Hino: Well…um! Actually, there are parts of the song that I can’t play very well Hino: But during these days, Tsukimori-kun taught me how to play it, so I can play them now
Hino: It’s all because of him that I got better and better… Tsuchiura: What? Tsukimori!? That’s really rare of him to do so Hino: Yes! It’s Tsukimori-kun!!
Person A: This is…Tsukimori-kun, isn’t it? Person B: Yeah, really Person C: Wow, he’s appearing on the magazine Person A: This is cool! Person B: Is he famous? Or perhaps… Person C: My friends in another school who plays violin also know about Tsukimori-kun Person A: Really?
Tsuchiura: So? Tsuchiura: What should we do? We’re told that any song’s fine. Tsuchiura: Well of course, songs that are too easy are not allowed, but it’ll save us some time practicing, right? Hino: Hmm…yeah that’s true. Hino: A song that’s easy to ensemble together…… Hino: A song that we have played together……
Hino+Tsuchiura: Étude Op.10 No.3 in E major!! Hino: It’s good, isn’t it! It’s a famous piece too! Tsuchiura: Yeah, and the length of the piece just suits our purpose Hino: …… Tsuchiura: What is it? Hino: Ah…nothing… Hino: Ever since the concour finished, we’ve never had a chance to play together, don’t you think?
Hino: Thinking about it alone makes me feel a bit lonely… Hino: So I am very happy…something like that Tsuchiura: …… Tsuchiura: I’ll always be there to play it with you
Hino: Thank you…Tsuchiura-kun Hino: This is way too much to ask… Hino: I must work my best not to let Tsuchiura-kun’s accompaniment go to waste!
Tsuchiura: Ever since the concour has finished…is it? Kaji: What do you want to do, Tsuchiura-kun…?
Kaji: Why don’t you make a move…? Tsuchiura: Not making a move…huh? Child A: Onii-chan onii-chan what is that?
Child B: I know~ They call that a violin Child C: Vio-lin? Child C: Oh, I know I know, it can make beautiful melodies! Child A: Is that right? Onii-chan Child B: I wanna hear it~ Child C: Do you play it like that? Child B: Yumi-chan had it too
Parent A: Sorry, the kids must’ve gave you a lot of trouble Parent B: Did you guys thank onii-chan? Children: Thanks, onii-chan Tsukimori: …… Tsuchiura: How unexpected of you, to be so gentle
Tsuchiura: I wonder what made you change your mind Tsuchiura: To practice at a place like this Tsukimori: …Nothing in particular Tsuchiura: Hmph
Tsuchiura: …Hino’s performance Tsuchiura: You’ve seen her play, haven’t you? Tsuchiura: Although I couldn’t believe it’s you… Tsuchiura: But she’s really happy, you know? Tsuchiura: Well… Tsuchiura: To say that you can’t leave her alone
Tsuchiura: Or the fact that she still needs to practice some more….. Tsuchiura: !!! Tsukimori: I’m going abroad
Tsukimori: At the end of this year
Tsuchiura: You said…studying abroad Tsuchiura: Why are you telling me this…… Tsukimori: I wonder why…
Hino: Tsuchiura-kun… Hino: I say, Tsuchiura-kun! Tsuchiura: Ah! Tsuchiura: Sorry, Hino, where were we? Hino: What’s going on? Hino: It’s rare to see you staring blank Tsuchiura: Sorry Tsuchiura: Speaking of which… Hino: Hmm? Tsuchiura: Did you manage to finish the song that you said you want to complete?
Hino: Uh… Hino: Hmm…I guess there is still a bit more to go Hino: And Tsukimori-kun took the time to teach me too…*sigh* Tsuchiura: …Hino Tsuchiura: How should I put this, you like it, don’t you Tsuchiura: The way Tsukimori plays his violin
Hino: HUH!? Hino: Well…yes Hino: But that’s all there is to it…… Hino: Perhaps I like it…but maybe it’s more of an admiration? Hino: Or maybe it’s my goal to become something like him Hino: I want to chase after him… Hino: Ever since the day I’ve started playing violin Hino: Although I do understand that I am nothing close to his level…
Tsuchiura: Is that…really just how you feel towards him? Hino: Huh? Hino: Tsuchiura-kun, what are you…… Hino: Tsuchiura-kun? Tsuchiura: Chasing after him! Tsuchiura: That’s what you said Tsuchiura: He’s going to---!! Hino: …Hmm? Hino: Tsukimori-kun…what is he...?
Tsuchiura: …Nothing Hino: Nothing… Hino: What do you want to say, Tsuchiura-kun Hino: What’s going on with Tsukimori-kun? Hino: It does make people wonder
Tsuchiura: That guy is always Tsuchiura: A step or two ahead of me… Tsuchiura: I don’t want to lose Tsuchiura: Not now, not ever…
Tsuchiura: I won’t give it(you) up *Tsuchiura wants to say I won’t give you up, but to Hino, she takes it as I won’t give it (musical skills) up
Tsuchiura: Kanayan! Kanazawa: Oh, Tsuchiura! Kanazawa: Isn’t it great? Your performance I mean Kanazawa: I’m sorry about asking you out of the blue without any prior notice Tsuchiura: Not at all… Kanazawa: What’s going on?
Tsuchiura: I’ll be in the concourhttps://mangahelpers.com/t/khryuseis/releases/9415Translation: La Corda d'oro 512009-02-05T19:46:01+00:00Khryuseisadmin@mangahelpers.comLa Corda d’Oro Chapter 51 Because I’ve found you……
Girl: I like you… Please go out with me! Kaji: …I’m sorry. But I really appreciate your feelings
Kaji: I…give my everything to Hino-san.
Hino’s friend: …Just like that
Hino: Wha… Hino’s friend: Wow, Kaho-chan, you sure can score Hino: Just what is that what is that what is that!!?
Hino’s friend: That’s why… Hino’s friend: They say whenever someone confesses to Kaji, they will surely encounter that line. Hino’s friend: That’s the rumour that’s been going around the school
Hino: Why!? Why did it turn out like that!?
Kaji: Hino-san~ Kaji: Good morning
!!
Kaji: Your hair today looks very cute Hino: !
Hino’s friend: Looks like he always compliment Hino each morning Boy: Looks like that’s how it will be
Hino: Th, thank you Kaji: Oh, you accepted the compliments without turning it away
Kaji-kun is… As expected of someone who came from a high level elite school, he surely did very well in academics
Teacher: Wonderful, Mr. Kaji, it’s perfect
He also excels in sports, not only that, but he is popular with everyone. How should I put this, to say that he outdid himself…. Outdid himself… Perhaps he’s just like Yunoki-senpai with a dark side that no one knows……. No no no no, that wouldn’t be… To say that there are multiples of people like Yunoki-senpai, it’s just impossible
Ousaki: ….san Ousaki: Hino-san! Ousaki: What happened…? You were blanked out. Ousaki: Speaking of which, your tunes are more radical than usual… Hino: Sorry, Ousaki-senpai!! I’ll do it again. Ousaki: Alright, then let’s start from the beginning… Hmm?
Argh… I wanted to focus!
Hino: Hihara-senpai?
Hihara: Eh, ah, sorry, I didn’t know it was occupied.
Someone: He ran this way Hihara: !! Hihara: S, s, s, s, sorry, let me hide here for a while Hino: What is going on?
Someone: Did he really come this way? Hihara: …… Someone: Where did Hihara-senpai went? Someone: Eh? Someone: Maybe he went ahead? Someone: Or perhaps even further inside?
Hihara: HAAAAAAAAAAAAA------ Hihara: I’m saved… Hino: Are you okay? Hihara-senapi…
Hihara: I’m sorry that I interrupted your practice! Ousaki: It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s nothing big really Hino: …This isn’t the way that I know from Yunoki-senpai’s method of dealing with fans…or is it? Hihara: Well…uh
Yunoki: Methods? Just stand there and smile and you’ll be okay Hihara: S..smile? (Like this?) Yunoki: Yeah
Hihara: And that’s what he said Ousaki: Ahh… Hino: I see Hihara: Yunoki can do this without a problem, but when it comes to me, I just can’t do it~
This is great… It looks like Hihara-senpai and Yunoki-senpai are back to normal
Kanazawa: A Concour? Kira: Yes… I would like to let more top students to perform in a bigger concour. Kira: Getting the first prize or even just winning an award from it will raise the publication of our school. Kanazawa: I see, so that’s what it comes to….. Kira: Running a school is not a charity. If we want to gather more top students, then we must first show others how good we are ourselves… Kira: And here’s where you come into place, Kanazawa-sensei Kira: I would like you to draw up a list of people. Kanazawa: Sigh…
Concour is it……
Kanazawa: What do you think about the band camp? Tsuchiura Tsuchiura: Huh?
Tsuchiura: Well…that, don’t you think the level of those people are kinda higher than usual? Kanazawa: More or less I guess. But you guys are not too far from them
Tsuchiura: I’ve been hearing lots about a concour and stuff like that lately Tsuchiura: Is it really that wonderful, that concour thing…
As long as you have the skills, then you’ll be a suitable candidate…
Kaji: Hino-san~
Kaji: If it’s okay with you, would you like to eat lunch together?
Huh?
Hino: Ah, sorry…I am supposed to be with Mio and others… Mio: It’s okay, no problem, Kaji-kun Hino: Huhhhhh!? Wa— Mio: Oh, come on, Kaho-chan~ Go on~ Just tell me about it later, okay? Girl: …What’s going on, Mio? Mio: If Kaho-chan and Kaji-kun are getting very well together, then don’t you think it’s possible for Kaji-kun to introduce us to some of his friends? Girl: I see
Kaji: Hino-san’s lunch box is cute Hino: Ah, thanks. But it’s my mother who made it…..
Kaji: I apologize for asking you out of the blue Hino: !! No problem, I should be the one apologizing Hino: I don’t even know if you’d like to eat with me…actually no, it’s not that…… Kaji: Yes
Hino: …… Hino: But…what’s going on with me Hino: Why is it that…why is it that Kaji-kun know all these stuff about me? Hino: Yet, there is not a thing that I know about Kaji-kun……
Kaji: You have practiced violin at the park in the past, haven’t you? Kaji: I happened to walk by and I heard your violin Kaji: And then I fell in love with your melodies on the first sight, you who looks at the violin with a loving gaze Kaji: And from that day, I’ve been to the park many times, but I have never been able to see you since… Kaji: Then one day, I finally see you on the street. Kaji: It was an event held by a music instrument store……. Kaji: It was there that I’ve heard you, Ousaki-san and Tsukimori-kun played together
Ah, that was before the 3rd selection…
Kaji: I want to hear more of your violin Kaji: I want to know more about you…That’s what I’ve been thinking all along Hino: And that’s the reason…to go through all that and transfer to this school…?
Kaji: Your melodies are what I am seeking Kaji: And I want to be where you belong Kaji: That’s enough reason for me to be here Kaji: Besides, my parents are alumni here. I’ve heard from them how good this school is.
Hino: Your parents… graduated from this school? Kaji: Yeah Hino: But…To say that I can perform in such a manner is just too much of a… Kaji: Not at all! Hino-san’s violin is really what I’ve been seeking all along.
Ah…something that I look up to… …… That wasn’t my performance at all……
Teacher: Let’s do 4 rallies today. When I read your names, you two will face against each other.
Guy: Hey Kaji, I’ve heard you used to be in the Tennis club? Kaji: Huh, oh yeah Guy: No wonder, you’re great at it Guy: I don’t want to go against Kaji at all------ Guy: Oh don’t say that! Guy: Isn’t that mean? Kaji: Well, since we’re in the same class, we won’t go against each other…
Teacher: Kaji and Tsuchiura-----
Kaji: So you’re Tsuchiura! Tsuchiura: So I guess this is how it will be. Be easy on me, okay?
Guy: Kaji and Tsuchiura, is it? We’re saved! Guy: Yeah, I don’t wanna go against those two… Guy: Well said well said Girl: Oh hey, the boys’ tryout is today? Girl: How wonderful---- They’re playing tennis. Girl: Yeah
Guy: Wow, Tsuchiura returned it Guy: Everyone doesn’t wanna go against those two… That’s because their levels are too high Guy: Speaking of which, that Tsuchiura guy used to be in the soccer team I heard? Girls: KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Guy: !!
Girl: Wow, they’re so cool! Girl: Kaji-kun, go go go!! Guy: What the heck is this!? Girl: Tsuchiura-kun, as well, go go go!
Girl: It looks like Kaji-kun is good at tennis Girl: But Tsuchiura can catch up with him, don’t you think he’s good as well?
Hino: !
Tsuchiura: Ah!!! Kaji: Phew Tsuchiura: Dammit, I lose I lose. Tsuchiura: You didn’t spare me any mercy Kaji: What are you saying, it’s you who didn’t spare me any mercy, Tsuchiura-kun Kaji: You said you have no experience in tennis, didn’t you? Kaji: Yet, you can do this much Kaji: If you let your hand go, your feet will move a long with it Tsuchiura: I’m just hitting it with a racket, that’s all
Tsuchiura: Speaking of which Kaji…You Kaji: Hmm?
Tsuchiura: They say that you’re here after Hino…Is that true? Kaji: It is Kaji: What about it? Tsuchiura: You answered it immediately…. Kaji: Well, it’s true. There’s no good in hiding it is there? Kaji: Dating her…I’ve never thought about such farfetched stuff… Kaji: I just…want to be closer to her…that’s all Tsuchiura: Something as farfetched as that? Kaji: Tsuchiura-kun, what do you want to do? Kaji: Why don’t you make a move……?
Hino: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Hino: That’s no good no good no gooood!
Hino: No matter how many times I’ve played it, I still get stuck at the same place… Hino: …Ah, If it’s Tsukimori-kun, he would’ve gone over it in a flash already… Hino: And if he sees me in a situation like this, he would’ve said Hino: “You can’t even play something like this?” Hino: And then he will start muttering this and that……
Tsukimori: If you have time to think about such trivial things, why don’t you start moving your hands? Hino: !! Hino: Tsu..Tsu tsu tsu tsu tsukimori-kun!!
Hino: You’ve heard everything…. Tsukimori: “You can’t even play something like this?” Hino: Sorry…… Tsukimori: …The whole thing just falls apart. Your bow is a bit slow in the latter portion.
Huh?
Hino: Em, then…Let me do it again Hino: Can you please teach me once more? Hino: Is it somewhere around here? Tsukimori: Hey, no one said anything about teaching you
Tsukimori: You, your bow is causing all those off tuning Hino: Then once more! Tsukimori: Take it a bit slow over there… Yep, that’s it Tsukimori: Your elbow’s posture is bad! Tsukimori: Why do you put so much strength into your shoulders Hino: Once more!
Tsukimori: Take it slowly from there Tsukimori: Your high pitch notes are weak Tsukimori: Listen to it yourself Tsukimori: …That’s it
Hino: I…did it Hino: Yes, yes! Hino: I did it, Tsukimori-kun!
