Soshite Shoujo wa Akujo no Karada o Te ni Ireru Chapter 18.3

Wicked Girl ch 18 (Part 3)

 

I arranged to meet at the library on the promised day to practice. I am told, that there seems to be a big park right next to the library. The time to meet is 10:00, should I go to the library early and look at it?

“Alright, it’s a date. It was an invitation to a date!” (Friend 1) (TLN: Oh no you didn’t!)

“Do your best Tanaka. We are rooting for you.” (Friend 2)

“I don’t think it’s a date though.” (Friend 3)

“Shut up, it’s alright, If s.h.i.+nozuka san is ok with it then everything is fine.” (Tanaka)

“… Don’t cry Tanaka.” (F 4)

“You there, take your seats already.” (Sudou)
(TLN: Ugh for some reason I do not know who is talking. Cla.s.smates? Ed- it’s the teacher)

Sudo sensei arrived before the chime for homeroom rang, everyone sat down one after another in their seats.

“The colors for the sports festival has been decided.” (Sudo Sensei)

The cla.s.s was restless upon hearing Sudo sensei’s words, but what does he mean by different colors? When I turned to look around, the girls are all praying very hard.

“I do not get what different colors mean?” (Aika) (TLN: Poor AIka.)

(Ed- here ‘s.h.i.+kibetsu’ was used which means ‘to know’)

“Every school year, the school is divided into 6 colors which is red, blue and yellow which would then compete against each other. So, lottery decides the colors every year. It is up to the representative to pull out the lottery, deciding victory or defeat is possible just by the results drawn.” (Probably Tanaka or Sudou)

I see. So that’s why they were praying so hard. I want to win too.

“Cla.s.s A and Cla.s.s D is red. Cla.s.s B and Cla.s.s F is blue. Cla.s.s C and Cla.s.s E is yellow.” (Sudo Sensei)

The moment Sudo-sensei finished speaking, the cla.s.sroom reverberated shouts of joy saying that we were yellow.

“Kyaa! We are the same color as Ichinose senpai!” (Random Fan girl number 1) (TLN: *rolls eyes* ugh)

“I am motivated. With this, my one and only chance to talk to Ichinose -senpai has come out!” (Fan girl number 2)

“It was worth praying at a s.h.i.+nto shrine.” (Fan girl number3)

I was hoping for a prayer with more meaning such as winning, not something like this. (TLN: Did the best I could. T.T 勝ちたい訳じゃなくて、そういう意味でお祈りしてたんだ。) As expected of Ichinose-senpai, to this extent his popularity is great. I am happy too, but I , I cannot show my such strange side.

Though half of the girls in cla.s.s looked glad, there are people among them who have their shoulders dropped.

“A aah, Sakaki-senpai is separated huh . . .” (Fangirl alpha)

“It is disappointing since we are separated from s.h.i.+n-nii. It is my first sports festival so I wanted to tell you various things.” (Fangirl beta)

(TLN: Come on Ash. Help me find out who is talking >.>)

After hearing disappointed voices from various places, “I am separated from Mamiya-senpai” were also coming from male students who was lamenting. Which reminds me, I do not know which cla.s.s Mamiya-senpai and the student council belongs. Everybody knows it well. I once again found out how popular people from the student council are. Aika is surrounded and is working  with such great people.

There are games which had something to do with color, this year it seems to be tug of war and relays. If I am not mistaken, Tanaka-san talked about going for the relay. A third-year relay is really serious, I definitely have to support him!

The promised day with Tanaka-kun. I got to the train to match the opening hours of the library I studied before, and I have arrived in front of the library. Even if I have entered a library, this is my first visit to a library where there are lots of books, my heart skipped a beat when I set foot in it for the first time.

“Wha, what is that?” (Aika)

A huge playground equipment came into my sight. There are a lot of playground equipment here such as a swing and the suspension bridge, a net made up of ropes gathered together, not to mention the slide which is huge.

“Eh, what is this place? An amus.e.m.e.nt park?” (Aika) (TLN: Oh noes! It’s a date! T.T) is this by chance an amus.e.m.e.nt park? It’s sad (TLN: Uhm what? うだよ), because there are playground equipment filled with children’s dreams so it is no doubt! Moreover, since there are no vending machines for playgrounds nearby, it seems to be free. Soon I would have no other choice as for this but to play! (TLN: A playing Aika brings warmth to my kokoro)

I, who was very excited, played with various playground equipment while being careful not to interfere with the small children. Sometimes, the gazes of the children’s mothers is painful, but I did not mind! Tanaka-kun arrived, at that time I was still rocking by the dolphin playground equipment.

“Go, good mo, morning s.h.i.+nozuka-san. What are you doing?” (Tanaka)

“I am rocking the dolphin playground equipment.” (Aika)

“Un, I know, I can see that.  Is it fun?” (Tanaka) (TLN: Tanaka teme! Do not think of anything weird about our G.o.ddess!”)

“Yes, it is very fun!” (Aika)

“Is that so…its fine then” (Tanaka)

(TLN: *stares daggers at Tanaka* You better not be disrespecting her.)
