+1 HIGH TENSION BASKETBALL STORY! by Takeuchi Masami Source: Shoujo Comic Volume 21, 2000 Translated: Dianne (DiDi) Chapter ? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: +1 HIGH TENSION BASKETBALL STORY is owned by Takeuchi Masami. This is a fan translation and no money is made off of this. Notes: These translations are *loose* translations. I've translated them so they make sense, not as much as you may understand everything word-for-word. Why? One, it doesn't always make too much sense. Two, I've been told I can be too strict on it sometimes, and I should just translate to vernacular. Mind you, I'm still trying to be as accurate as possible. If you've found a translation that is closer to the dictionary meaning, yet still makes sense, please don't hesitate to inform me. Thanks. : text in bubbles * floating text > sound [] translator's additional notes.. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COVER PAGE: Karan, who left for Spain. When's he coming back!? --- Page 360 Nanako: Sa---- It's finally the fall tournament! Nanako: Do your best, everyone!! --- Page 361 Team: Yeah! Off-shot: Where's the tournament going to be held? Off-shot: Hamaya North High. Do you know anything about them, Hirotsugu-kun? Shijou: I don't know. We've never had to against them. Nanako: What about you, Karan? Do you know? Team: ...Nanako-chan * HA.. --- Page 362 Nanako: I must be stupid. He's not here anymore, ne. * It's been 10 days since Karan left. Team: We're starting. We're starting. Nanako: Good luck!! --- Page 363 Nanako: ...Ah! --- Page 364 * ...I have to forget * I've decided myself. * It was best for Karan to go to Spain. * It's for Karan. * (Crowd) KYA--- KYA----- Crowd: Win!! * That's why --- Page 365 * I'm going to forget it completely, too. * I need to look ahead---- --- Page 366 Nanako: At last, we advance to the quarter finals! Nanako: That's great! You did it, everyone!! (baldguy): What? Kifune: That's pretty obvious. Guy1: Oi, isn't Hane High great.. They're still in the best 8. Kifune: Oioi, we're the topic of the conversation. Guy2: Ah--- Hane High, huh.. --- Page 367 Guy2: Big deal. It was just a lucky shot, a lucky shot! Guy1?: Eh? But isn't the captain that Shijou? Might not be a lucky shot. Guy2: But except for Shijou, they're just like odds and ends. They were much better before because Togetsu was there, but he quit before the tournament. I'm sure he abandoned them because these guys just can't do it. Nanako: What are you guys... Kifune: What did you say!? --- Page 368 Nanako: Pan-chan! Kifune: You shut up! You're talking about things you know nothing about! [Lit. "You're saying dumb things irresponsibly" ?] Loser dogs shouldn't grumble!! (baldguy): Pan, stop it!! Shijou: Don't raise trouble! You won't be able to turn out for the competition!! Kifune: Shut up! Can you shut up! This idiot!! Guy2: What's wrong with saying stupid to the stupid!! Kifune: What was that!? Security: Hey! What's going on over there!? Nanako: Oh, no! The officials are coming! Pan-chan, stop it!! Nanako: Pan-chan!! --- Page 369 Shijou: Ba--- Guy3: Hey! You-- what are you doing!? Guy4: Wait!! Kifune: What was that? Shijou?: Who was that? Nanako: ...Ka... --- Page 370 Nanako: KARAN! (baldguy): Couldn't be Kifune: He's not supposed to be in Japan. Nanako: It's Karan! That was definitely him just now! Team: Nanako! --- Page 371 Nanako: Wait! Nanako: Karan, wait!! Nanako: Karan!! * ..he's not here.. --- Page 372 * Ah! * There he is!! Nanako: Karan!! Guy: Eh? Nanako: ...I'm sorry. Wrong person. * Ah... * fuu... Team: Nanako Nanako: It wasn't him, after all. Nanako: That's pretty obvious, ne. He's in Spain now. --- Page 373 Nanako: He's.. Nanako: ...not supposed to be here.. Nanako: ...Oh, yeah. Are you guys coming over today? Let's have a do-our-best-for-the-quarter-finals meeting. Off-shot: Sure! Isn't it great! We did it, we did it! Nanako: So let's head on over to my house. I'll show you my cooking skills! Ne!? * I want to forget --- Page 374 * I want to forget * I think.... Off-shot: Wow... It looks so good---- Mom: If you win the championship, we'll have even more good food. Kifune: Uwa.. seriously? Let's do our best--! Nanako: Yeah! Do your best, ne! (baldguy): Nanako Nanako: Hm? (baldguy): Let's watch this. --- Page 375 Nanako: Video? Nanako: What video is this? May we watch it now? (baldguy): Yeah. Nanako: What is it? A video of the game? Kifune: ...oi (thickhair): This is.. --- Page 376 (baldguy): This was on TV a while ago. (baldguy): I thought that if you saw it now, it would quiet your sad thoughts. I thought I should show you, after all. (baldguy): Right? --- Page 377 Nanako: Yeah. * Karan --- Page 378 * It hurts. * Not being able to see Karan. * I really regret it. * Why couldn't I tell you I liked you? * Don't go. * Don't leave me alone. * Why didn't I hang on to you and tell you? --- Page 379 * I want to see you * I want to see you.... Kifune: Are. It's Nanako's phone. Kifune: Nanako Kifune: *beep* Yes --- Page 380 Kifune: Nanako, phone. (baldguy): Oi, you'll feel better afterwards. Kifune: It's okay. Nanako: ...yes. Hello? Phone: Nanako? * ...Karan...? --- Page 381 Karan: Oi, Nanako? Why did Pan just answer the phone? [lit. "why did that Pan guy get out just now?" takeuchi-sensei's favorite word seems to be "deru" it's almost an all-around word... ^^; ] Nanako: ...Aah... Um... Karan: Yeah? * Karan's voice Karan: Nanako..? Karan: What's wrong, Nanako? * I can't. * I can't make him worry about me like this. * But --- Page 382 * I don't want to hold back * anymore Nanako: ...come back. Nanako: Come back. Please. Nanako: Come back. * Please * Please --- Page 383 Karan: .. You want to see me? Nanako: Yeah. Karan: Do you... like me? Nanako: ...Yeah. Nanako: I like you. --- Page 384 Nanako: I like you a lot! * I can't go on without Karan. --- Page 384 * If Karan's not here, then there's nothing to be happy about anymore. * Nothing's fun. * I don't know how to go on without him. * I like him a lot. * I like him a lot. ["Daisuki. Daisuki."] --- Page 385 * So... Karan: ...I understand. I'll be back right away. Nanako: Eh... Hello? Karan!? Nanako: Hello!? Kifune: Did he hang up? Nanako: Yeah. He said he'd come back right away. Kifune: ...It can't be. (baldguy): Ah.. Nanako!? --- Page 386 Kifune: It's probably home delivery! Kifune: Nanako, don't leave! * But * Karan said he'd be back right away. * Karan's definitely going to do what he said he'd do. [In a sense, "he's never let me down"] * Right now is just the same. Mom: Ha--i. Ara. * Without fail. Mom: Maa.. Nanako: Aa...! --- Page 387 Karan: I'm home. --- Page 388 * I'm absolutely never letting you go again...! Endnote: Karan and Nanako are mutually in love!!
