La Corda D'Oro - Chapter 70
Another translation! The same warning applies as for last month - a bit rough around the edges, but hopefully the sense is there.
How adorable is this chapter?
Gradually, I have become unable to take my eyes off her.
Hihara: Tsukimori-kun... still isn't here, then? (moreover, Tsuchiura hasn't even returned...)
Yunoki: You're right
Hihara: What could be wrong? I wonder if something's happened.
Mori: Huh? Tsukimori-kun?!
Hino: Yeah
Mori: Really? So that's why you were worrying about the audience before.
Hino: Was I?
Mori: You were, you were. It was unexpected, wasn't it? The news about him studying abroad. We only heard yesterday, too.
Hino: Really?
Mori: Yeah, and I didn't know he was flying out today until you told me just now. But... he's leaving today, right? Will he really be able to come, I wonder? The airport is quite far from here. Has he not come yet?
Hino: N...no.
Mori: Oh...sorry Hino-chan.
Hino: Oh no, don't worry! Besides, maybe he might have arrived by now.
Man: Would the next person please wait here to be called.
Hino: Ah...yes!
Because...he promised
Number 15, Hino Kahoko-san, from Seisou Academy's senior high school section...
(applause)
Yunoki: Come on, what are they doing?
Tsuchiura-kun isn't here either? Has something happened?
Hihara: Her performance is a little...unpolished, isn't it? Is she nervous?
(Hino's internal monologue:)
This is no good, you have to concentrate.
But he promised...
"Will he really be able to come, I wonder?"
If he doesn't come...will I never see him again?
Calm down, calm down
Tsukimori-kun warned you about this part so many times...
...Yes. He kept repeating it so many times...
Mori: Hino-chan, shall we start the next piece straight away?
Are you going to waste all of that?
Hino: Yes. It's ok...
It's not just that I decided to do my best just now.
Tsukimori-kun has his own things to consider.
Even so...
It's pitiful
I did so much practice
I received many favours
"What do you call that? That drunk sounding vibrato?"
"S...sorry!"
I remember it all
Here...and there...all of it
So...even if Tsukimori-kun couldn't make it here
Now... the only thing I can do is to finish playing perfectly, with all my might
(applause)
Tsuchiura: Somehow we made it for her piece. Didn't you teach her? (this performance...)
Tsukimori: ...No
Hino: S...somehow I made it to the end...
Tsukimori: Will you give these to Hino for me?
Tsuchiura: Huh? You're not going to talk to her?
Tsukimori: Yes, I don't have much time so... This performance... is enough.
Tsuchiura: Tsukimori...
Hino: Sorry Mori-san, I'm just going to the audience area!
Mori: In a little while everybody will have finished, you know. Why don't you wait in the waiting room?
Hino: Sorry!
He came... he came!*
Hino: Tsuchiura-kun! As I thought, it was you and Tsukimori-kun at the back.
Tsuchiura: Hino
Hino: You weren't in the seats so I was worried. Huh? Where did Tsukimori-kun go? Huh...? He...already left?
He's only just left, so he can't be far...
Tsukimori-kun...!!
Tsukimori: To the station, please. Stop a second please!
Tsukimori: What are you doing here Hino? What about the competition?
Hino: Ah...well...I saw that you came, and then when I went out to the audience Tsuchiura-kun told me you'd already left...so... I didn't think you'd leave straight away like that. So I panicked and ran after you...
Tsukimori: I'm sorry I was late...
Hino: Oh no, no, don't worry! It's enough that you came... Sorry Tsukimori-kun, I'm making the car wait, aren't I?
Tsukimori: Yes
Hino: Y...right, yes (What should I do?) Sorry to keep you
Tsukimori: Hino
Hino: Err...that is, I'm glad you came, and...
Tsukimori: Hino! For goodness sake, why don't you calm down a bit? The last one...was a good performance.
Until now...Tsukimori-kun has always been ahead of me
Ever since the first time I heard "Ave Maria" I've been running after him
Hino: Tsukimori-kun, I... will try my hardest
From now on...always
Notes:
*Could also be "They came", but let's face it, she didn't seem all that worried about Tsuchiura, did she?
