m(_ _)m
Just a little update to say sorry for the silence/lack of Oofuri chapter translation (now that the next chapter AFTER THAT is probably almost to us!). I have been ungodly busy. With translating! Just...not Oofuri T_T ...But I got paid real-life money for it! ...But totally and completely and absolutely burned myself out with translating in the process. So I might not be touching it for just a bit more m(_ _)m
If you're eager to know what happened before the next chapter comes (and I have no idea if anyone else has written up any info for everyone on it since LJ is one of the things I have yet to catch up in. And feel bad since I can't even give an estimate when I'll feel ready to get to it again hehe) Here's...a...summary...like...thing T_T;;;;
(It's me squealing/summarizing at the people who will listen about what going on in the chapter as I read it when it first came out. I...did a quick skim through to try to cut out the squealing/non-informative parts. So let's just hope I got most of it...and didn't cut out any actual information accidentally XD Also, you'll get a look at the confusion that goes through my head as I read these chapters, which will probably make you wonder how I ended up getting offered paid manga translation work at all! M-Many things are easier to understand for me than Oofuri?)
narwhaltortellini Mihashi doesn't want to look at the data NOW
narwhaltortellini he wants to go see everyone's cultural festival stuff
narwhaltortellini while he is trying/taking his sweet time about expressing this, abe screams at him
narwhaltortellini WAY TO SHOW IMPROVEMENT ABE
narwhaltortellini mihashi is totally beating him
narwhaltortellini SEE HOW THE ABE SCREAMING DOESN'T PHASE HIM AT ALL?
narwhaltortellini ...it makes Abe's screaming even more funny XD
2012-1-5 - 09:31PM
narwhaltortellini since now it doesn't seem abusive since apparently at least in this case mihashi doesn't care
narwhaltortellini also, izumi continues to worry about abe's behavior when he should be paying attention to his class duties
narwhaltortellini izumi, you look so concerned
narwhaltortellini mizutani looks very not concerned
narwhaltortellini we have found something he is more "used to" than you, izumi
narwhaltortellini Izumi needs mizutani for abe interpretation XDDDDD
narwhaltortellini now, musashino!!!!
narwhaltortellini the guy catching for haruna at the start is shimizu who it is remarked is not afraid of haruna's pitches
narwhaltortellini NO AKIMARU ONLY YOU MUST CATCH FOR HARUNA DON'T LOOK SO HAPPY
1010nabulation XDDD
narwhaltortellini guy talking to akimaru (is that one of the old sempai?)
narwhaltortellini (...maybe i should get out my old character sheet ^^')
narwhaltortellini remarks that still akimaru's catching in the tournament, right?
narwhaltortellini and akimaru's all
narwhaltortellini 'uh yeah sure think so...'
herongale That's got to be Machida!
narwhaltortellini now it is machida looking uncomfortable
narwhaltortellini 'you act like it's got nothing to do with you...'
narwhaltortellini akimaru say
narwhaltortellini N-no, no. I'll do it, I'll do it.
narwhaltortellini machida finds akimaru perplexing
narwhaltortellini he seems like he just kinda fell into doing baseball in high school since he did it as a kid
narwhaltortellini but he finds it hard to believe (that for finds it believable, but that doesn't make sense...darn you japanese maybe-negatives)
narwhaltortellini that akimaru just mindlessly ambled along easygoingly catching haruna's pitches
narwhaltortellini BECAUSE THEY'RE FREAKING SCARY.
narwhaltortellini akimaru has his lips suddenly turn fat like machidas for some reason just pushes it off and says he likes basball and that's why he
narwhaltortellini kept doing it
narwhaltortellini SO NOT FOOLING ANYONE ANYMORE, AKIMARU.
narwhaltortellini he calls the not-scared-of-haruna's-pitches shimizu up
narwhaltortellini (who i wish had a more distinctive appearance. he could be akimaru's battery rrival!)
narwhaltortellini machida asks him some catcherly stuff
narwhaltortellini they talk about why they lost in newcommer's i think?
herongale oooh
narwhaltortellini there were four dead balls? (a dead ball is when it HITS the batter, isn't it? why is there a WORD for four dead balls? but it's not just
narwhaltortellini four balls cause the word dead is clearly in there....)
narwhaltortellini (whatever XD)
herongale So Haruna hit a batter four separate times.
narwhaltortellini (i'm wondering if that's what it really is or i'm misunderstanding, cause it's a word in the dictionary and why would the dictionary have
narwhaltortellini a word for "four dead balls"? )
narwhaltortellini anyway, haruna pitches crazy XD
narwhaltortellini shimizu doesn't say it like that though XD
narwhaltortellini and rather says something after that
narwhaltortellini that machida says is going to eassy on the pitcher
narwhaltortellini (maybe he said something about trying to make up for it with batting?)
narwhaltortellini and i thiiink machida's kinda like 'dead balls are needlessly given up runs'
narwhaltortellini and (shimizu still i think?) asks akimaru why he doesn't give signs
narwhaltortellini and i love how akimaru's points to himself and is all "?"
narwhaltortellini "wtf are yyou talking to me? what do i have to do with catcher conversations..."
narwhaltortellini poor machida
narwhaltortellini trying to train these guys.... XD
narwhaltortellini akimaru says cause it's pointless
narwhaltortellini if he did give signs, haruna would never listen to what they...MACHIDA INTERRUPTION
narwhaltortellini i don't get the next part ^^;
narwhaltortellini maybe he's saying haruna would just get pissed at the...intrusion?
narwhaltortellini shimizu says there are no catchers that don't give signs
narwhaltortellini and akimaru says there are and starts listing them XDDDD
narwhaltortellini (are these real people i wonder?)
narwhaltortellini i think they might be real people he's listing
narwhaltortellini 'll have to google them hahahah
narwhaltortellini (if so i like that he....apparently has studied up on this XD)
narwhaltortellini (you know. cause he likes "baseball.";-)
narwhaltortellini then a SWEETKINDYOUAREMYHERO koukai from behind the net thing
narwhaltortellini says I THINK HARUNA-SEMPAI WANTS TO GET SIGNS FROM AKIMARU-SEMPAI.
narwhaltortellini KOUHAI, WHAT IS YOUR NAME
1010nabulation SHOW HIM SIGNS OF YOUR LOVE, AKIMARU. SIGNS OF YOUR LOVE.
narwhaltortellini WE NEED TO KNOW SO WE CAN LOVE YOU.
narwhaltortellini he says that you end up with four dead balls when pitching is getting hard
narwhaltortellini haruna-sempai is up there trying to figure things out ALL BY HIMSELF
narwhaltortellini if you gave him signs, he'll feel a lot better for sure
narwhaltortellini so akimaru replies back to WiseKouhai
narwhaltortellini that with haruna's personality like it is,
narwhaltortellini he he were to try to do something when haruna was having a rough time, it would just rub haruna the wrong way
narwhaltortellini machida looks very not pleased and says "that's not the kind of person he is at all"
narwhaltortellini and akimaru looks way too happy and says "sorry, but that's the kind of person he is to me!"
narwhaltortellini i think machida is now....getting them alone to have a catcherly talk in private? XD
narwhaltortellini hahaha i looooooooooooove akimaru's look at him after theyr'e alone together
narwhaltortellini he so does not want to have this conversation
narwhaltortellini ...he kinda really looks like mizutani tthere
narwhaltortellini they really are kindred spirits
narwhaltortellini machida says hehas to have tried signing at some point
narwhaltortellini akimaru says once or twice in practice matches ^_^
narwhaltortellini and how did that turn out?
narwhaltortellini haruna told him he got tired having to shake his head all the time and to cut it out XD T_T
narwhaltortellini soo machida wants to know why the helll akimaru is a catcher
narwhaltortellini akimaru says originally it was cause haruna told him to
narwhaltortellini (honest boy XD)
narwhaltortellini machida says
narwhaltortellini but you were never even a starter, so someone else was always going to be his catcher anyway
narwhaltortellini and anyway
narwhaltortellini YOU CHOSE TO KEEP BEING A CATCHER OF YOUR OWN FREE WILL, RIGHT?
narwhaltortellini WELL, YES, BUT
narwhaltortellini GUESS WHAT AKIMARU SAYS BACK
herongale I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT??
herongale is THAT WHAT HE SAYS???
narwhaltortellini XD heron's got it.
narwhaltortellini i don't get his words though "you have no position since spring"
narwhaltortellini ONWARD to old man abe
narwhaltortellini hehe, they jump right into where they start talking about that second year catcher who came in during the ARC game
narwhaltortellini how he seems to be catching without signs (though abe doesn't think whether he goes without signs or not is very important i don't think?)
narwhaltortellini (cause we all know when only one person is deciding the pitch type, that totally can't be used against them...cough)
narwhaltortellini and talk about how the pitches definitely seemed faster when haruna was pitching to him
narwhaltortellini i think they are also saying haruna seemed to be having an easier time throwing fastballs when throwing to akimaru
narwhaltortellini (maybbe cause he didn't have to hold back?)
narwhaltortellini they think he might specialize in catching
narwhaltortellini and see he is crap at everything else XD
narwhaltortellini during fall haruna's fastball got even faster, but the catcher got even worse at everything besides catching???
narwhaltortellini (it seems stated pretty cut and dry, but i can't help but wonder if i've misunderstood)
narwhaltortellini (that seems a weird thing to drop on us without elaboration!)
narwhaltortellini (akimaru getting WORSE? XD)
narwhaltortellini wait, aren't we going in to the fall tournament?
narwhaltortellini how are they commenting how he did in fall?
narwhaltortellini ...i must be missing something here XD
1010nabulation Newcomers?
1010nabulation Maybe?
narwhaltortellini i think that's kind awhat i assumed
1010nabulation That was right before this, right? And fall-ish? I think?
narwhaltortellini only then i saw the word for newcomers in the next bit of conversation and was like 'wait...so does that mean they were talking about
narwhaltortellini something else when they said 'fall'?
narwhaltortellini ...i guess i should read on rather than sit here being connfused
narwhaltortellini ...i swear to god this makes so much more sense if i assume 'four dead balls' = 'four balls/walk' XD
narwhaltortellini akimaru was catching during newcoemrs though it looks like
narwhaltortellini they think the team might have been waiting for the "four dead balls" or other errors
narwhaltortellini cause with a catcher like akimaru, so long as they can get on base they can manage to make it through the bases
narwhaltortellini anyway, there is a batting center with faster machines 30 minutes away that they plan to go to after practice XD
narwhaltortellini dedication!
narwhaltortellini OH GOOD LORD WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING
narwhaltortellini this is the problem with me not translating for a long time
narwhaltortellini i forget what the best tools for what situation are
narwhaltortellini i figured it out
narwhaltortellini unsurprisingly (XD should have considered this)
narwhaltortellini it's a way of saying dead balls AND walks
narwhaltortellini apparently these two statistics are counted together in japanese baseball, though they are not in americcan
narwhaltortellini er, i said that bad to begin ith
narwhaltortellini dead balls+four balls/walks
narwhaltortellini well, hopefully those parts of the chapter will make slightly more sense now (though i think i'll still be confused hehe)
narwhaltortellini back to what i was doing....
narwhaltortellini (since the thing that reminded me i could use that site was that I was looking what MIZUTANI says about something entirely different haha
narwhaltortellini firestorm, mizutani?
narwhaltortellini oh wait that was oki
narwhaltortellini ....i need to concentrate on one part of this chapter at a time ^^;
narwhaltortellini it's the seecond day of the cultural festivval, but the boys go to a practice match and then come back to have normal practice in the
narwhaltortellini afternoon
narwhaltortellini they talk about what they'er missing out on in the festival i think?
herongale What are they missing?!
narwhaltortellini A FIRE STORM APPARENTLY I have very little idea XD
narwhaltortellini maybe it was a bonfire?
narwhaltortellini mizutani mentions how he won't be going to the classes "launch" (WTF?) since he'll be going along to the batting center with everyone else
narwhaltortellini (aww, mizutani. dedication!)
narwhaltortellini anyway, mizutani didn't want to go to the "launch" all that much anyway
narwhaltortellini sinnce it seemed like there might be drinking going on and he didn't want to chance the trouble???
narwhaltortellini then hanai asks shinooka if she's going
narwhaltortellini hence the sudden...interesting look on mizutani
narwhaltortellini (oh man mizutani you better not be thinking of drunk shinooka XD)
narwhaltortellini shinooka says no,
narwhaltortellini and i don't understand the first part well
narwhaltortellini but then something about hohw it's hard to make excuses surrounded by drinking people when you're not drining (i'm not sure if this is to
narwhaltortellini turn down drinks, or to insist you weren't drinking if you get caught)
narwhaltortellini ...i love izumi's 'bored of this' look XD
narwhaltortellini now hanai gets called away
narwhaltortellini so momokan asks hanai if he/they(?) are really not planning to go to the closing events
narwhaltortellini she admits staying out for the fireworks and dance might keep them up too late, but suggest they at least watch the..uh fire stuff from the
narwhaltortellini ...watchtower?
narwhaltortellini and talks about her memories of how it is fun to watch from when she was in school
narwhaltortellini which gives hanai opening to mention STUDENT MOMOKAN
narwhaltortellini AND HER SINGLE BASEBALL CLUB TEAM MEMEBER
narwhaltortellini he asks if they still aimed for koushien with only one member (haha, hanai, how would they do that?)
narwhaltortellini and she says no
narwhaltortellini she says or rather, they coudln't aim for that since they were softball
narwhaltortellini but the number of softball teams in the prefecture was dwindling
narwhaltortellini and no younger members were joining underneath them
narwhaltortellini then when she was in third year, (bit i don't understand? 'when a baseball experienced person gave a list')
narwhaltortellini they solicited new members
narwhaltortellini and everyone suggested they go hardball
narwhaltortellini it cause a big fight with the older members
narwhaltortellini nd in the end the went hardball but no one joined
narwhaltortellini and they couldn't even do their final match
narwhaltortellini hanai seems to accept this for a sec and then be all surprised as he realizes soemthing ( i assume his next line but i don't get it quite...
narwhaltortellini his next lines being "the motive was probably that thing"
narwhaltortellini "and maybe the motive (different word for it...i'll have to look up if they have slightly different nuance i guess?) was maybe also
narwhaltortellini that person "
narwhaltortellini ...i don't see what he's realizing form this about the person and such he didn't know before....
narwhaltortellini i mean he's got more details now but i don't see cause for 'moment of realization!!!'
narwhaltortellini so may things i will have to try to understand better before writing this up T_T
narwhaltortellini anyway so then he says 'so this is coach's first time aiming to win koushien' and she says yes
narwhaltortellini and he's thinking of whether or not to tell sakaeguchi and tajima all giggly-like (yeah clealry there is something here i'm missing if it's
narwhaltortellini worth gossiping XD)
narwhaltortellini and momokan asks he heard from shiga
narwhaltortellini 'about that'
narwhaltortellini and then all the weird water imagery
narwhaltortellini ^_^;
narwhaltortellini and she thanks him for his concern
narwhaltortellini she says there wasn't really a good occaison to bring it up
narwhaltortellini but in that way it kind of became a secret
narwhaltortellini and asks hanai to let everyone else know
narwhaltortellini and tells them to go to the fire storm
narwhaltortellini there are some complications with setting off the fire, and while they are waiting...i think it says hanai tells everyyone?
narwhaltortellini and then getting at the stadium and haruna's awkward looking greeting XD
narwhaltortellini mihashi thinks
narwhaltortellini that haruna-san is a good person (i wonder if ever anything will happen to shake this view mihashi has of him XD)
narwhaltortellini and that they will have a good match today
narwhaltortellini and WINNNN
If you're eager to know what happened before the next chapter comes (and I have no idea if anyone else has written up any info for everyone on it since LJ is one of the things I have yet to catch up in. And feel bad since I can't even give an estimate when I'll feel ready to get to it again hehe) Here's...a...summary...like...thing T_T;;;;

narwhaltortellini Mihashi doesn't want to look at the data NOW
narwhaltortellini he wants to go see everyone's cultural festival stuff
narwhaltortellini while he is trying/taking his sweet time about expressing this, abe screams at him
narwhaltortellini WAY TO SHOW IMPROVEMENT ABE
narwhaltortellini mihashi is totally beating him
narwhaltortellini SEE HOW THE ABE SCREAMING DOESN'T PHASE HIM AT ALL?
narwhaltortellini ...it makes Abe's screaming even more funny XD
2012-1-5 - 09:31PM
narwhaltortellini since now it doesn't seem abusive since apparently at least in this case mihashi doesn't care
narwhaltortellini also, izumi continues to worry about abe's behavior when he should be paying attention to his class duties
narwhaltortellini izumi, you look so concerned
narwhaltortellini mizutani looks very not concerned
narwhaltortellini we have found something he is more "used to" than you, izumi
narwhaltortellini Izumi needs mizutani for abe interpretation XDDDDD
narwhaltortellini now, musashino!!!!
narwhaltortellini the guy catching for haruna at the start is shimizu who it is remarked is not afraid of haruna's pitches
narwhaltortellini NO AKIMARU ONLY YOU MUST CATCH FOR HARUNA DON'T LOOK SO HAPPY
1010nabulation XDDD
narwhaltortellini guy talking to akimaru (is that one of the old sempai?)
narwhaltortellini (...maybe i should get out my old character sheet ^^')
narwhaltortellini remarks that still akimaru's catching in the tournament, right?
narwhaltortellini and akimaru's all
narwhaltortellini 'uh yeah sure think so...'
herongale That's got to be Machida!
narwhaltortellini now it is machida looking uncomfortable
narwhaltortellini 'you act like it's got nothing to do with you...'
narwhaltortellini akimaru say
narwhaltortellini N-no, no. I'll do it, I'll do it.
narwhaltortellini machida finds akimaru perplexing

narwhaltortellini then a SWEETKINDYOUAREMYHERO koukai from behind the net thing
narwhaltortellini says I THINK HARUNA-SEMPAI WANTS TO GET SIGNS FROM AKIMARU-SEMPAI.
narwhaltortellini KOUHAI, WHAT IS YOUR NAME
1010nabulation SHOW HIM SIGNS OF YOUR LOVE, AKIMARU. SIGNS OF YOUR LOVE.
narwhaltortellini WE NEED TO KNOW SO WE CAN LOVE YOU.
narwhaltortellini he says that you end up with four dead balls when pitching is getting hard
narwhaltortellini haruna-sempai is up there trying to figure things out ALL BY HIMSELF

narwhaltortellini firestorm, mizutani?
narwhaltortellini oh wait that was oki
narwhaltortellini ....i need to concentrate on one part of this chapter at a time ^^;

narwhaltortellini hence the sudden...interesting look on mizutani
narwhaltortellini (oh man mizutani you better not be thinking of drunk shinooka XD)
narwhaltortellini shinooka says no,
narwhaltortellini and i don't understand the first part well
narwhaltortellini but then something about hohw it's hard to make excuses surrounded by drinking people when you're not drining (i'm not sure if this is to
narwhaltortellini turn down drinks, or to insist you weren't drinking if you get caught)
narwhaltortellini ...i love izumi's 'bored of this' look XD
narwhaltortellini now hanai gets called away
narwhaltortellini so momokan asks hanai if he/they(?) are really not planning to go to the closing events
narwhaltortellini she admits staying out for the fireworks and dance might keep them up too late, but suggest they at least watch the..uh fire stuff from the
narwhaltortellini ...watchtower?
narwhaltortellini and talks about her memories of how it is fun to watch from when she was in school
narwhaltortellini which gives hanai opening to mention STUDENT MOMOKAN
narwhaltortellini AND HER SINGLE BASEBALL CLUB TEAM MEMEBER
narwhaltortellini he asks if they still aimed for koushien with only one member (haha, hanai, how would they do that?)
narwhaltortellini and she says no
narwhaltortellini she says or rather, they coudln't aim for that since they were softball
narwhaltortellini but the number of softball teams in the prefecture was dwindling
narwhaltortellini and no younger members were joining underneath them
narwhaltortellini then when she was in third year, (bit i don't understand? 'when a baseball experienced person gave a list')
narwhaltortellini they solicited new members
narwhaltortellini and everyone suggested they go hardball
narwhaltortellini it cause a big fight with the older members
narwhaltortellini nd in the end the went hardball but no one joined
narwhaltortellini and they couldn't even do their final match
narwhaltortellini hanai seems to accept this for a sec and then be all surprised as he realizes soemthing ( i assume his next line but i don't get it quite...
narwhaltortellini his next lines being "the motive was probably that thing"
narwhaltortellini "and maybe the motive (different word for it...i'll have to look up if they have slightly different nuance i guess?) was maybe also
narwhaltortellini that person "
narwhaltortellini ...i don't see what he's realizing form this about the person and such he didn't know before....
narwhaltortellini i mean he's got more details now but i don't see cause for 'moment of realization!!!'
narwhaltortellini so may things i will have to try to understand better before writing this up T_T
narwhaltortellini anyway so then he says 'so this is coach's first time aiming to win koushien' and she says yes
narwhaltortellini and he's thinking of whether or not to tell sakaeguchi and tajima all giggly-like (yeah clealry there is something here i'm missing if it's
narwhaltortellini worth gossiping XD)
narwhaltortellini and momokan asks he heard from shiga
narwhaltortellini 'about that'
narwhaltortellini and then all the weird water imagery
narwhaltortellini ^_^;
narwhaltortellini and she thanks him for his concern
narwhaltortellini she says there wasn't really a good occaison to bring it up
narwhaltortellini but in that way it kind of became a secret
narwhaltortellini and asks hanai to let everyone else know
narwhaltortellini and tells them to go to the fire storm
narwhaltortellini there are some complications with setting off the fire, and while they are waiting...i think it says hanai tells everyyone?
narwhaltortellini and then getting at the stadium and haruna's awkward looking greeting XD
narwhaltortellini mihashi thinks
narwhaltortellini that haruna-san is a good person (i wonder if ever anything will happen to shake this view mihashi has of him XD)
narwhaltortellini and that they will have a good match today
narwhaltortellini and WINNNN
