ch 131: Skip!

pg01:

INTRO:
This homeroom session is about...?
CHUUMA:
So, you guys...

CHUUMA:
It's the school trip next week!
CLASS 2-C:
YEAAAAAAAHHHH!!!

BOSSUN:
YEAAAAAH, YEAAAAAH !!! OHHH YEAAAAAAHH!!!!
HIMEKO:
Bossun, you're too excited! Calm down a little, man!
CHUUMA:
Shaddup, brats!

CHUUMA:
I think you know, but our school trip is always a ski trip at Niigata.
BOSSUN:
Why a ski trip, though?
HIMEKO:
Yeah, usually it's Kyoto or Okinawa.

CHUUMA:
Don't be selfish, d'you know the mangaka doesn't have time to actually go to
Kyoto or Okinawa to gather material for that?
BOSSUN:
Huh? /
Whatcha talking about?
HIMEKO:
He's going off track now.

CHUUMA:
He just so happened to go to a ski trip in Niigata with his editor,
so he went "Oh well, I'll just use these pictures we have as material,
if only I had time to go to better places..."
BOSSUN:
Enough, enough!
HIMEKO:
Who are you, man!

CHUUMA:
Rather, how long is this manga gonna be stuck in autumn?
BOSSUN:
Chuu-san, please, stop!

pg02:

SIGN:
2-B
JASON:
Now,

JASON:
the rooms each class occupies haven't been decided yet.
BOX:
2-B's teacher-in-charge, Jason-sensei.

BOX:
Still in a dating slump {star}
JASON:
By tradition, /
We'll decide the rooms with a little bit of recreation...
2-B:
Yesterday's date didn't go so well, huh...

CAPTAIN:
Jason-sensei, I'll continue the explanation!
JASON:
Oh, Takahashi-san... /
please do...
2-B:
That's the class rep for you!
2-B:
Good job, Captain!

CAPTAIN:
Alright everybody, listen up! The rooms are ranked! /
A-rank would be super awesome! D-rank would be super pathetic!
CAPTAIN:
And to decide who gets what...

CAPTAIN:
Naturally, a skipping contest involving the whole class!
2-B:
Why?!

pg03:

2-B:
Sk-Skipping?!
2-B:
Do we really have to do it like that?!
SAAYA:
...
CAPTAIN:
Based on the number of consecutive skips!
2-B:
This is a messed-up school!

CAPTAIN:
The contest's in 4 days time! We're aiming for the top! Let's practice
for half an hour after school, yeah?
CAPTAIN:
That's my super atheletic class! /
And, what's this crazy mood now?!

CAPTAIN:
Then, let's decide who swings the rope! /
Any volunteers?
SAAYA:
Yes!

CAPTAIN:
Eh?

GIRL:
Saaya. are you serious?
SAAYA:
Yeah, I wanna do it!
2-B:
Agata's gonna do it?
2-B:
For real?

HORII:
Agata-san, do you know how heavy a responsibility it is?

pg04:

HORII:
It's the most important role.
BOX:
Girl's volleyball team member
Hori'i Kanako
HORII:
We need a tall guy with stamina and atheletic sense. /
You won't cut it.

SAAYA:
We won't know til we try it!
HORII:
No, we already know!
2-B:
Whoa, Saaya vs Horii...
2-B:
2 tsun girls...

HORII:
And Agata-san...

HORII:
Isn't it just because you don't want to skip?

ALL:
...

CAPTAIN:
Oh,
CAPTAIN:
That's right...

CAPTAIN:
Saaya's terrible at sports...
INTRO:
So that's it...
SAAYA:
...

pg05:

2-B:
Okay, /
One more time!

2-B:
Ready... /
Go!

2-B:
One!
[SFX text reads *smack*]
2-B:
Ehhhh?!!

2-B:
Wait wait, who was that!
SAAYA:
Me, I'm sorry...
2-B:
Oi oi!
2-B:
Saaya again?!
2-B:
Who screws up the FIRST jump anyway?

2-B:
We've been going "One! *smack*" all this time!
SAAYA:
E-Er....
2-B:
Please get it right, just once!

SAAYA:
Ah... I'm really, really sorry...
2-B:
U-Uh...!

2-B:
A Saaya that isn't tsun is...!
GUY:
W-Well, we still got time!
GUY:
Yeah, let's work together!

pg06:

HORII:
Why is everyone going so easy on her?
CAPTAIN:
Horii...
HORII:
This is a team contest! We can't afford to even have one person being
a burden to us!

HORII:
Messing up even the first jump, that goes beyond poor atheletic sense.
HORII:
You're just plain careless!

SAAYA:
I know it's my fault...
SAAYA:
But I'm trying my best here...
HORII:
Anyway,

HORII:
Agata-san, can you even ski?
SAAYA:
N-Not at all...
HORII:
Thought so. I don't think you can even with practice, too.

HORII:
I wonder if you really have to go for the school trip.
HORII:
Honestly, you're trouble for us.

2-B:
Oi enough, Horii!
SAAYA:
...
HORII:
What? It's true, right?
2-B:
You didn't have to be so blunt!
CAPTAIN:
Don't let it get to you, Saaya.

CAPTAIN:
Alright, let's continue with practice!
CAPTAIN:
Horii, don't say anything bad too, alright?
HORII:
Hmph!
SAAYA:
Wait!

pg07:

SAAYA:
Who cares about a childish thing like skipping! I'm outta here, I quit!
2-B:
Uwah, here we go again, more trouble!

SAAYA:
The unatheletic old me will just watch.
SAAYA:
Try your best, hmph! See you!
TEXT BESIDE GIRL'S HEAD:
This girl...

SAAYA'S UNIFORM SAYS SAAYA

GUY:
Ahhh, she did it again.
GIRL:
Not like we haven't seen this before, yeah?

2-B:
She's gonna go practice secretly.

2-B:
By the way, hasn't she become more cheerful these days?
2-B:
Yeah, she's easier to talk to now.
2-B:
Would've liked to know more about her earlier, man.

CAPTAIN:
Fufufu, seems like it's working.

CAPTAIN:
I bet she's going there right now.

pg08:

SIGN:
Sket-dan
Open for consultation!
SAAYA:
And so...

SAAYA:
I said something I shouldn't have, /
So I'm gonna practice secretly.
BOSSUN:
Again?

SAAYA:
But..... but!
BOSSUN:
No way you can practice with us!
HIMEKO:
Saaya-chan, you should go back to your class.
SAAYA:
But, we can't get anything done with me around!

SAAYA:
I don't wanna cause trouble for anyone anymore...
BOSSUN:
Hmmm....

SAAYA:
So I need to learn how to skip by my own.
BOSSUN:
From scratch?!

BOSSUN:
WHo knew you sucked at sports that badly...
HIMEKO:
What's your grade for PE? You know, the 1 to 5 thing.

SAAYA:
Try harder!
BOSSUN:
Try harder?!

BOSSUN:
That grade exists?!
SAAYA:
I think it's below 1.
HIMEKO:
How bad can you be?!

pg09:

BOX:
And thus begins Saaya's skipping training.

TEXT:
It's tough to start with that huge rope, so let's practice with the 2 of us.

Jump into my rope, okay?

HIMEKO:
How many things can you not do?!

pg10:

[Absolutely nothing!]

SAAYA:
Why are you helping me so much?

Cause you're giving it your all.

HORII:

HORII:
Why did you lie?

pg17:

HORII:
I was the one that messed up...

SAAYA:
...

SAAYA:
It doesn't matter right?
SAAYA:
Trivial stuff like that.

HORII:
I-It matters! /
After what I said, to think that I screwed up... /
Then having you cover for me...
SAAYA:
You're noisy!

SAAYA:
Is it really that important?!
HORII:
!

SAAYA:
Not that I don't know...
SAAYA:
We're too alike, see.

SAAYA:
But, /
It's okay to trip over sometimes.

pg18:

SAAYA:
So,
SAAYA:
It doesn't matter who did what, right?

HORII:
I'm so sorry, Saaya.

SAAYA:
Oh yeah, Horii! /
I gotta ask you for a favour.

HORII:
What is it?

SAAYA:
Teach me how to ski!
