ヒロム階段転落　４回目
Hiromu's fall, 4th time

right to frames:
ヒロム、入部一週間目！！手強い階段。。。
Hiromu is been a member for a week!! The difficult stairs...

otome:
うーん
流石に一週間も動きがないとカウンターの動きがにぶりますなあ
なんとかしろよなーヒロムー
Yes
It's already have been a week, and no development, there is rather a counter development
Do it somehow, Hiromu

練習十二日目　・　金曜
12th practice day - Friday

asobe:
こら随分辞めてしもたもんやな
昨日と今日で１２人
残りは６人だ
何人　残ってくれるやろな
Look, a lot have quit
It's 12 people yesterday and today
There are only 6 people left
On how many people are you planning on having?

kawazue:
３人。。。
悪くすれば２人だ
3 people...
If they'll do bad, so 2 people

asobe:
ほお今誰を減らしたんや？
Oh, who do you think will fall now?

kawazue:
...
眞白は残らないかも知れない
...
Mashiro probably won't last

kawazue:
卓球歴わずか一年と二か月
地道な練習なしに才能を開花させた天才肌のプレイヤー
だが　それだけに今の状況は耐え難いはずだ
むしろここまで残ったのが不思議なくらいだ
He's been doing ping pong for a year and two months
A genius player that let his talent bloom without a steady practice
But, for that only, this situation should be unbearable
Rather, it's weird he's left 'till this point

asobe:
んーーー
明日から連休やしなぁ
ボールの感触を求めて久しぶりに卓球場へ行く
すると疑問がふくれあがる
Hmmmmm
It's the holidays starting tomorrow
They'll go to ping-pong places after a long time, seeking the feeling of the ball
Therefore, the troubles swell up

someone:
何で自分は我慢しているのか
何も部活にこだわる必要はないじゃないか
卓球なら卓球場に行けばいくらでもできる
For what am I so patient?
It's not needed at all to be obsessive about an activity
If it's ping-pong, I can go play in a ping-pong place as much as you like

5-

kawazue:
そう思ってしもたら眞白は辞めるかもな
Think that, Mashiro might quit

someone:
何ちゅうガキじゃ
恐ろしく鋭角なドライブを撃ちよる
What is that kid
He shoots drives with hard angles

mashiro:
くー　やっぱ楽しい！！
GW中は打ちまくるぞー！！
Kuu, it's really fun!!
I'm gonna shot through all of Golden Week!!

G.W三日目（前半分終了）
Golden Week 3rd day (End of first half)

mashiro:
あー 楽しかった
この休みの間卓球三昧だったもんなー
Ah, it was fun
I was concentrating on ping-pong all of the break

6-

mashiro:
今のおれは絶好調！！
今なら遊部さんにも勝てる！
。。。でも明日からまたランニング
流石にヘコむなあ。。。
何やってんだ俺は。。。
あれは藍川。。。？
。。。
。。。
藍川ストレッチ下手だな
＊今度教えてやろう
！
つづら坂から学校へのコース。。。
あいつー
I'm in perfect form now
Now I'll win even against Asobe-san!
... But we have running starting tomorrow
I really am caving in...
What am I doing...
That is Aikawa...?
...
...
Aikawa's stretches are bad
* I'll teach him next time
!
It's the course from winding road to school...
He

mashiro:
この休みの間ずっと走ってたのか？
少しでもタイムを縮めようと
チェ。。。
偉いじゃねェかさ
。。。
くそっ。。。
このまま帰ったら南下負けた気分になるじゃねェか。。。
しかし本当に遅いな
LSDか？
。。。
あれ。。。？
Has he always been running in the holiday?
If he'll shorten the time by a little bit
Che...
Isn't it good?
...
Damn...
If we return like that, I don't feel like losing somehow...
Long Slow Distance?
...
That...?

8-

mashiro:
しまった見失った。。。
スパートをかけたのか？！
まさか
ここはーーー
坂だってまともに走って登れないのに？！
あいつこの会談を走って登るつもりか？！
Damn, I lost him...
Has he done the spurt?!
No way
This is
Although he can't even run up a hill right?!
He's planning on running up those stairs?!

9-

sounds all around the first frames: *pant*

hiromu:
眞白くん？
わ
わ
すごい偶然だねっ
Mashiro-kun?
Wa
Wa
What a great coincidence

mashiro:
。。。おつかれ
汗拭けよ　まだ冷える
... Good job
Wipe your sweat, you're still cooling down

hiromu:
あ。。。　ありがと！
眞白くん
良い人
Ah... Thank you!
Mashiro-kun
Is a good person

mashiro:
何でだよ
Why?

hiromu:
?

mashiro:
何で　そんなに頑張っちゃってるわけ？
。。。
そうだろ？もう３週間もロクに球を打たせて貰えない
毎日やらされるのはランニングと自主トレだけ！
腐るなって言う方が無理だろ？！
Why are you doing your best?
...
Is that so? Even in 3 weeks they'll not let you shoot
Every day they'll just let you do running and independent training!
It's useless to tell you "don't rot"?!

10-

hiromu:
?

mashiro:
つ。。。疲れる奴
He... He's a tired fellow

hiromu:
よく分かんないけど。。。
早く
卓球したいから
かな
Although I don't understand that well
I want to
Do ping-pong quickly
Probably

mashiro:
...

hiromu:
ほ
ほらっ
See
See that

mashiro:
?

hiromu:
僕　運痴で体力もないからっ
今　練習に参加しても多分何もできないから
まず体力だけでも
Because I don't have physical strength with my slow pace
Even if they'll let me participate in the practice, I won't be able to do anything
Even if it's just physical strength in the start

11-

mashiro:
そ。。。
そりゃ藍川はそうだろうけどさ
ランニングでも一人へばってたし
卓球も初めてで技術も未熟
とうてい練習についていけやしなーーー
あ。。。
Al...
Although that's probably how Aikawa is
He's worn out by doing running alone
He's a starter in ping-pong so he's inexperienced
He possibly won't be able to keep up in practice
Ah...

asobe:
遅ーまでごくろーはん
差し入れやでー
I appreciate your work this late at night
So I brought refreshments

kawazue:
結局
これで良しということだな
In the end
With this, I can call it a day

kawazue:
去年　我が校は”覇王”王華を下し俄か強豪となった
そのウチを目指してくる一年達ーーー
頭抜けたセンスを持ち
それ故に地道な反復練習を嫌ってきた者
優れた技術にたのみ
それ故に体力・精神の鍛練を怠ってきた者
伝統ある名門校や中堅校ではなくウチを選ぶのはそんな奴らだ
彼らには最初に目を開かせる必要があった
酷いやり方だったが幾人かは目を覚まし残りは去って行った
願わくはーーー
Last year, we've beaten "supreme kings" Ouka and suddenly became champions
The first years who came aiming at us
Have a taste that stands out
And so, they are people who start hating steady repetition practice
They really on their skills
And so, they are people who start neglecting their physical and mental training
The ones who choose are school with no tradition and no main faculty are this kind of people
It was needed to open their eyes in the start
It was a cruel manner of doing it, but, the number of people who need to open their eyes had went and disappeared
I hope that, at least---

hiromu:
?

mashiro:
全部。。。
Isn't...

13-

mashiro:
俺の事じゃねェか！！！
階段を登りきれなくてバテる！
テストの時川末さんから一点も取れない！！
。。。
一点も取れないのは本気を出してなかったからだけどさ
にしたって俺はーーー
Everything about me?!?!
I get worn out even without climbing all of the stairs
And on the test, I didn't manage to take even one point from Kawazue-san!!
...
Although I couldn't take any point from him because I wasn't serious
Anyway, I---

hiromu:
あ。。。
あのっ
眞白くん？！
We...
Well
Mashiro-kun?!

mashiro:
今　練習に出ても俺は何もできない
先輩らの足を引っ張るだけなんだ
市大会でちょっといい成績とったくらいでいい気になってた
Even if I'll be in practice now, I won't be able to do a thing
I'll just pull the senpais down
I became easygoing after getting fine scores on the fair tournament

hiromu:
なんかまずいこと言っちゃったかなぁ？
あ。。。
あのっ
眞白くんっ
Did I say something bad?
We...
Well
Mashiro-kun

14-

mashiro:
* あ　しおれた
Ah, he withered

hiromu:
だめだ　外したー
It's useless, I stopped it

mashiro:
えっ　なんかごめんなさい！！
あれ？
ひょっとして俺なぐさめられた？
ふっ
くくっ
藍川お前最高！！
Huh, I'm somehow sorry!!
Huh?
Maybe he tried to comfort me?
Fu
Kuku
Aikawa, you're the best!!

hiromu:
これが眞白くの笑いのツボなのか
Did that make Mashiro-kun laugh?

sign:
違います
wrong

15-

mashiro:
そういや藍川はさ
よく　この暗がりで階段登ってこれたよな
？
That's right, Aikawa
You managed to climb pretty well in the darkness
?

hiromu:
蛍光テープぅ
夜に登った時一度失敗して
それで昼のうちに足場のしっかりした石に貼っておいたんだ
Fluorescence tape
I failed on the first time when I climbed at night
With that, I steadily put that on the stones

mashiro:
へー　考えたね
そういや生キズが。。。
色々頑張ってたんだなぁ
！
まてよーー
。。。
藍川もさやっぱ　ちゃんと練習したいよね
Heh, you thought it through
That's right, those fresh wounds...
Are marks he really did his best
!
wait
...
Aikawa, you want to do proper practice too, right?

hiromu:
へ？
う。。。　うん！
Heh?
Ye... Yes!

練習十三日目（GW中日）久勢北中学
13th practice day (A day in Golden Week) Kuzekita middle school

all:
眞白どうしたんだその格好
Mashiro, what's with that uniform?

mashiro:
へへー陸上選手ぽいっしょ
そろそろ本気出してさ
台を奪り（とり）に行こうかって
Hehe, it's cloths of a track member
It's time I should become serious
Saying "Shall we go snatch a table?"

kawazue:
まだ早い
坂道にしておけ
It's still too early
Say that on the hill road

mashiro:
ええ俺だけなら
でもーーー
今日はヒロムとやりますよ
Yes, if it was just me
But---
Today I'm doing it with Hiromu

hiromu:
wawa

kawazue:
...

17-

mashiro:
へへっ
目印があるから楽勝だ
次はあそこーー！！
ヒロムがこつこつ貼ったこのテープ
Hehe
It's easy because I've marks
The next is there--!!
Hiromu has steadily taped those ones

hiromu:
* この石はゆれない
* This stone doesn't shake

mashiro:
決して無駄にしない！
自他共に認める運痴のアイツが転ばないように選んだんだ！
足場の信頼性は折り紙つき。。。
いける。。。
３人。。。いや　４人抜くんだ
I'll never let this effort go to waste!
He choose them he, who is slow, won't fall down and so he can be generally acknowledged!
The stability of the footings is guaranteed...
I can do it...
I'll pass 3 people... No, 4 people

18-

mashiro:
!!
...!

mashiro:
しまった逆光。。。！！
テープがみえーー
がっ。。。！！
Damn, light from the front...!!
I can't see the ta---
Gah...

someone:
眞白？！
Mashiro?!

kawazue:
構うな！！
自分で登らせるんだ！！
Don't mind it!!
Let him climb by himself!!

mashiro:
痛！！
ざっくりやったなこりゃ
膝も。。。！！
くじけそうになる
もう駄目と諦めそうになる
アイツは諦めなかった
それがどれだけ凄いか
これだけのテープ貼るのにアイツはどれだけ痛い思いしたんだろう。。。！！
俺も少しは痛い思いして
それでも笑ってみせねェと
負けてるみたいでくやしいじゃんか
Ouch!!
This is one hack of a wound
The knee too...!!
It looks like I'm crushed...!!
It looks like I'll just give up because it's useless
He wouldn't give up
That's how much he's amazing
He got through so much pain to put up this much tape...!!
I'll go through pain for a while too
Although that I'll show you a smile
It's regrettable to think you lost

20-

hiromu:
ハヒ
ハヒ
の。。。
登りきった！
時間
は。。。
。。。
やった２７秒縮まった！！
夢のよーおー
あれ？
眞白くんがいない
Haa
Haa
I...
I managed to climb it!
The time
Is...
...
Alright, I shortened it by 27 seconds!!
The dreamy Yoho
Huh?
Mashiro-kun is not here...

mashiro:
hiromu!

hiromu:
Mashiro-kun

mashiro:
Yo

hiromu:
わ
わ
やった！
台とれたんだ！！
Wa
Wa
You did it!
You managed to take a table!!

mashiro:
へへっ　もちですよ
で。。。
さ
新人を相手にした時の個人練習をしたなーと思うんだけど
いい相手いないかな
Hehe, of course
Well...
Then
I think I want to do the personal training where you play a newcomer as an opponent, but
I can't find a good opponent

hiromu:
うん分かった探してくる！！
Yes, I understand, I'll go look for one!!

mashiro:
だーーー　何でそうなるっ！！
Haaaaaaa, why did it turn like that!!

hiromu:
Fuu?

kawazue:
Fuu

22-

someone:
川末。。。いいのかあのテープ
Kawazue... Is that tape okay?

kawazue:
いいわけないだろ
跡ではがしにいかせるさ
Of course it's not okay
I'll let you go rip it off

someone:
おいおい
Hey, hey

kawazue:
あの階段は足場が悪いことで体幹を鍛える目的もある
いい足場を示すテープなど不要にも程がある
The stairs has a goal to train the trunks with the bad footings
The tape that indicate the good footing is useless in some way

asobe:
ま　せやけど眞白もしっかり卓球部に残ってくれそうやし
そろそろ台を増やして頃ええ合いかもな
Well, although that, it looks like Mashiro managed to stay in the ping pong club
It's might be time we increase the number of tables

mashiro:
”早く卓球がしたいから”かーーー
やっと出きるな
ホントお前のおかげだよ
"Because I want to play ping-pong already" Huh---
I can finally do it
And it's all thanks to you

mashiro:
お前が　あんまり嬉しそうだから
Because you look so happy

kawazue:
知らないようだから教えといてやるが
そいつにセーブは打てない
Because it looks like you don't know it, I'll tell you
He can't serve

mashiro:
* 練習パートナー替えます
* I'll replace my practice partner

kawazue:
* そうしろ
* Do so

sign:
ヒロムの道のりはまだまだとおい
Hiromu's way is still very long

left to 2 frame:
一歩前進！！
He has advanced one step!!

end of translations

enjoy :P
