1. "EH... REALLY?"
2. "WOW, SEMI-FINAL*"
3. "In northern regions, the summer vacation is even shorter because the winter is so long, it's sad huh?"
4. "AAH"
5. "I'm jealous"
6. "SUMMER VACATION IS UNTIL THE 31ST IN TOKYO, RIGHT?"
7. "BUT WE'RE STILL IN AUGUST!"
8. "GOOD MORNING."
9. "AH... GOOD..."
10. "EH"
11. * (SEMI-FINAL) IS A SUMMERY EVENT IN JAPAN WHERE A CICADA ( ) THAT LOOKS DEAD SUDDENLY SKITTERS
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. "TOMITA-SAN!?"
2. "oh!"
3. "YEAH."
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. "Oh ..."
2. "Are those ..."
3. "Aah..."
4. "Ah, yeah. Yeah."
5. "You cut your hair !?"
6. "Yeah, I'm wearing them."
7. "Hearing aids ...?"
8. Are they... Getting along?
9. When did that happen...?
10. "Oh, my pleasure !"
11. "Thank you so much for the advice kanon."
12. "Having crossed hearing aids* is making all the difference."
13. *this is a single-sided hearing aid that is worn on both ears. It transfers sound from the hearing side to the non-hearing side via radio waves.
1. "Gotta say ... I'm surprised you cut your hair."
2. "But ..."
3. "Mh?"
4. "Most people, like me, want to hide their hearing aids."
5. "But ..."
6. "In my case..."
7. "I'm still quite unsure about it..."
8. "Yeah I guess ..."
9. "Ah!"
10. "Tomita's back !!"
1. I thought it was more important
2. To "Let people know" rather than "Hide it".
3. "Before starting homeroom,"
4. "Tomita-san has something to tell everyone."
5. "I'll put it simply."
1. "... Uh"
2. "I completely lost my hearing in my right ear."
3. "That's why I was absent at the end of the first semester."
4. "I would appreciate if you could speak to me from the left side as much as possible."
5. "I currently wear a hearing aid, which has improved things to some extent"
6. "But I still struggle to grasp the direction of sounds."
1. "But..."
2. "I can't expect you to fully understand."
3. "But as much as possible,"
4. "Listening takes a lot of effort, and I can easily get tired."
5. "I'll try to stay the same as I was before."
6. "If you could help me when I'm asking you to repeat or clarify something..."
7. "I would really appreciate it."
8. "I'm sorry to the both of you"
9. "For not keeping in touch for so long..."
1. "We can understand that it wasn’t the right time for you."
2. "No no, that’s fine."
3. "… the band… what’s gonna happen?"
4. "But … er …"
5. "What is it? You can tell me."
6. "I just wanted to know…"
7. "But it’s important !!"
8. "You big dummy! Do you think this is something to ask right now!?"
1. "Honestly, I'm not sure."
2. "Yeah..."
3. "I should have mentioned it too."
4. "But..."
5. "I've learned that some performers are deaf in one ear."
6. "I feel the need to play and touch the instrument too."
7. "I'd like to continue."
8. "I can still hear with my left ear."
9. "So..."
10. "Not yet..."
1. "Huh?"
2. "That's all we needed to hear."
3. "No no wait!"
4. "Yep"
5. "That means it's not over yet."
6. "You two shouldn't wait for me!"
7. "I can join another band..."
8. "Whaa :0.."
9. "And honestly, we're still too bad to be able to recruit anyone."
10. "Tomita, you asked us to join this band right?"
11. "What the hell are you talking about?"
1. "We're ready to practice our butts off!"
2. "Just tell us when you feel ready."
3. "And we'll immediately tune all the instruments."
4. "Hearing aids look cool, kinda like ear monitors."
5. "Ah! That's exactly what I thought!"
6. "Yeah..."
7. "......"
1. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE SAYING TO EACH OTHER.
2. I'M HAPPY FOR YOU...
3. But it looks like it's going alright.
4. TOMITA...
1. "My apologies."
2. "Miura-sensei"
3. "Summer literary competition."
4. "It's the..."
5. "...what's that about?"
1. "The story ended up completely different from what I originally planned ..."
2. "I struggled ..."
3. "To put my thoughts into words."
4. "And my writing is terrible ..."
5. "I just feel ..."
6. "..."
7. "But still, you finished writing it, right?"
8. "I just feel a bit pathetic and guilty."
9. "First, be proud of that."
1. "..."
2. "It's not that."
3. "No one can write perfectly from the start."
4. "Moreover, it's common for the content to differ from what was originally planned in the creative process..."
5. "..."
6. And about
7. What happened to me.
8. As you suggested...
9. I wrote about myself.
10. ...I wrote a lot
11. But when I read it back
12. I realized that most of the pages
13. Were about my recent moments with saki.
1. "'I' am the main character, right?"
2. "Of course, in an autobiographical novel"
3. "I have to write about 'my own' feelings."
4. "...but"
5. "So"
6. "What my feelings for Saki are."
7. "I don't know anymore."
1. I ran away
2. And went for a different story ...
3. ... I can't verbalize them ...
4. ... That's why
5. "No, I don't mind."
6. "Oh nooo, I'm sorry! Hearing me say this must be confusing for you. Please, just forget about it !!"
7. "Still, just from reading the beginning,"
8. "I can tell the story you finished instead is really well done."
9. "I can understand"
10. "You're dissatisfied with being off your game."
1. "Yes ..."
2. "As written, did you get a cat?"
3. "As expected, you really have a talent for writing, oikawa-san."
4. "'rikka' is a beautiful name."
5. "Oh! ..."
6. "Yeah ..."
7. "Is it okay to submit this as is?"
8. "... Thank you."
9. "Ah ... Yes ..."
10. "I'll take my leave now."
11. I'd best forget this
12. "Well then, I should head back to the staff room before I forget."
1. "There will be a literary contest again next year..."
2. "If you'd like, you can do it just for yourself."
3. "... Also"
4. "As for the emotions that you can't put into words,"
5. "Don't rush it"
6. "Why not take your time to slowly explore what they really are?"
7. "..."
8. "... Okay"
9. "Through your upcoming high school life..."
1. "Have a good day!"
2. "Well then, I've now forgotten about all this, so..."
3. Take your time to explore?
4. I don't really know when it comes to my own stuff...
1. And I used to analyze music when I played the piano.
4. I enjoy thinking about characters' emotions in novels and movies
1. But I wonder what name
2. I should give to the emotions I felt back then.
3. "Ah!"
4. "Indeed!"
5. "...it's been a while."
1. "Eh..."
2. "She's doing great!!"
3. "Hey, how's kanon doing these days?"
5. "At the cultural festival!!"
6. "And she's going to be the conductor for the choir competition"
7. "Hmm"
8. "I see..."
9. "She's working really hard for it!!"
10. "Kanon...?"
11. "But she...?"
1. "... But"
2. "What about the rest of the class?"
3. "Since I'm the accompanist,"
4. "I... See."
5. "We've been training at kanon's house all summer."
6. "......"
7. "Yeah"
8. "Not everyone is going to be cooperative, you know."
10. "I was worried about that too."
11. "... But"
1. "Ehh..."
2. "I can't believe kanon would do something like that."
3. "Yeah"
4. "I was surprised too..."
5. "That's not the kanon I know."
6. "Just like that."
7. "She opened up..."
8. "......"
1. She's gone.
2. That girl who used to follow me around
3. Shutting herself off from everyone else...
5. "Saying that..."
6. "......"
7. "Well, I've only known her since we started high school,"
8. "But even from my perspective, she's changed a lot."
1. "Doesn't that mean you changed her?"
2. "Kindaichi-san"
4. "Changed kanon."
5. "Meeting you,"
1. "I can picture her looking more lively than before."
2. "I haven't spoken to her in a while,"
3. "but still..."
4. *shine*
5. "I feel a little jealous."
6. "...I couldn't"
7. "make her look like that..."
1. "...it's not really my place to say"
2. "But I'm so glad that"
3. "You and kanon met."
5. "..."
6. "See you later!"
1. "..."
2. "I'll go if I can."
3. "Me and kanon !!"
4. "We'll do our best !!"
5. "Comoon ayano-saaan !!"
6. "Ha ha ha"
7. "Shut up."
8. "That's the classic " I'm not gonna come! " response !"
9. "Wait!!"
10. "Uhhh..."
11. ".........!!"
1. "?"
2. I know she's really curious about kanon!
3. She's so unfair...
4. "Already!?"
5. "Then what was that about earlier?!"
6. "By the way"
7. "What day is it? After the cultural festival?"
8. "Depending on the time, I might be able to go."
9. "But maybe not..."
10. Seriously, such a tsundere*...
11. "You're still right around the corner."
12. *a character with an initially harsh personality who gradually reveals a warmer, friendlier side over time
1. But I get it.
2. Being honest
3. About our feelings...
4. Is the hardest thing of all, right?
1. "It's good that they do."
2. Tanabe-san is more surprised than anyone else.
3. "WHY ARE THOSE TWO GETTING ALONG?"
4. "No... I mean yes, but still!..."
1. What? Already chapter 23!?
2. Thanks again for the support, means a lot.
3. Thanks to:
4. Galaxy for the proofreading
5. Socialfang for the raws + qc
6. This chapter's a good reminder that our ears are amazing but also fragile.
7. So to all my fellow musicians, use earplugs!
8. You don't want to end up with unbalanced stereo like me :)
9. I don't know when/if I'll do the next chapter.
10. But I hope you enjoyed this one.
11. I sure did.
