“Me 10 years from now… I can’t even begin to imagine. If I’m not skating, I’ll have to find a job somewhere. But, if I am still skating… I’ll be 27? I can’t even begin to seriously consider that! Maybe 5 years from now… no, not even sure about 5 years. I take my skating career one year at a time. In 10 years, I’ll be the same age as Takahashi-kun? Like I could be like him at that age. That man is just unreal!”

What will skating be like 10 years from now?

“Compared to now… I think the scoring will be even stricter, and the competition will continue to increase. The skaters will make fewer mistakes, and the men will have unlocked even more quad types. Of course, the ladies will be really challenging themselves with triples-triples—they’re even doing it right now.”

—Ryuju Hino (From Cutting Edge 2013, p. 85)

“Right now, I’m 14 (T/N: Interview was before his 15th birthday on December 17, 2012.)… so I’ll be 24. In 10 years, I’ll almost be 25. Will I have made it to the Olympics yet? It would be right after an Olympic year right? The Olympics will be held when I’m 16, 20, 24, and 28 years old. If I haven’t made it to the Olympics yet, I’ll be working hard trying to get there. I don’t know whether I’ll make it there by then but… I hope I’ll still be skating and injury-free.”

What will skating be like 10 years from now?

“Everyone will have like three types of quads. I’ll have like one (smiles).”

“The ice Dominique created by rewriting the formula is not as violent as Veronica’s or Antoine’s. It’s different.

It is delicate, yet so strong.

It’s just like Dominique herself.

In the light, your profile softens

As if you’ll vanish at any moment

I reach out for you without thinking

The Summer was our beginning

Together we could overcome endless seasons

With you by my side, always by my side

On sleepless nights,

Your voice, your eyes

Stir my heart and keep me awake

Am I out of time? Can I still reach you?

My love is rushing out

So please,

Smile

NOJIMA KENJI (CV: Sajou Rihito) “I feel the creation of this audio drama was much-anticipated. We recorded it sincerely with all our hearts in order to live up to everyone’s expectations. I hope you all enjoy it. Please look forward to it.”

KAMIYA HIROSHI (CV: Kusakabe Hikaru) “Kusakabe has grown to be able to rationally control his emotions, unlike back when he used to rely only on his senses… but there are still times can’t control them and they get the best of him. When I think of that, maybe the characters aren’t so different from when I first met them over 10 years ago after all. Please look forward to the one and only world created by Nakamura Asumiko-sensei with high quality sound.”

ISHIKAWA HIDEO (CV: Hara Manabu) “You can now enjoy "blanc” in the form of a 2-disc CD. I think Hara-sen plays the role of former teacher pretty well by being strict at key points in the story. [Laughs] Whether you’ve been a fan since the beginning of the “Doukyuusei” series, or you’ve only been a fan since “blanc”, I hope you will all enjoy it.“

“It’s a stable, sunny day. They decided to have a picnic party.”

Part 2

“By the way, Kusakabe-san made the bento. - Nakamura”

Kusakabe: “S-sorry for the wait…”

Sajou: “You didn’t have to run here, you know.”

Kusakabe: “Actually, I didn’t. Didn’t want the cake to crumble. I power walked.

Hikaru’s Letter to Rihito:

Dear Rihito,

Hello.

How are you?

I don’t write letters that often, so I’m kinda nervous.

Because your hair is so stiff, I wonder if it won’t turn gray as quickly as mine?

I wonder if I’ll still have hair.

I’m worried.

Ah, but 10 years from now we won’t have to worry about our hair.

But still, one day.

Even if we have gray hair, even if we go bald, even if we get fat, even if we become wrinkled, I will always want to kiss you like I do now.

I want us to stay close as we become grandpas together.

I love you truly and deeply.

—Hikaru

Rihito’s Letter to Hikaru:

Dear Hikaru,

Hello.

How are you?

Because I don’t write letters very often, I’m a bit nervous.

I’m unable to imagine what things will be like 10 years from now.

I can only picture us being 10 years older, but still continuing our lives as they are right now.

You laughing.

Your laugh making me laugh.

The two of us, whole-heartedly laughing.

Just like that.

I think it would be nice to still be like that.

Thank you for being in my life.

I love you.

Now with both sides of the hug. :3 

Part 2 next week

I had about three angel anons asking for headcanons for ABO TianShan and I was writing it down but it was endless I ended up just drawing it. A short list!

I like storylines where Mo pretends to be a Beta even though he’s an Omega.  As a younger person he might have been in denial and may have wanted to be a tough guy Alpha but it’s hard to pretend to be an Alpha so he pretends as a Beta. He still has his own gang of delinquents.

She Li’s the first to know Mo’s an Omega and uses it against him to control him.

He Tian comes from a line of Alphas he hates and wants to be different from them. He Tian found out Mo is an Omega due to some incident. He Tian at first didn’t care. It’s not like male Omegas are non-existent and lots of Omegas come around him everyday. He’s used to them. So Mo doesn’t understand why He Tian follows him around like a puppy. He Tian has found the person he wants to be in an Omega like Mo.

He Tian overheard She Li’s gang talking about changing some omega’s suppressant (they don’t know who it belongs to) while He Tian was smoking at the back of the school so he went to check up on Mo who was absent.

So, this is it… Thank you for everyone’s patience. My gift to you this year. :) The usual disclaimers: Neither my scans nor translations are perfect, this is just something I do for fun! I had one of my native friends help me this time, and even some of the translations she wasn’t quite certain on, but overall I think it’s fairly accurate this time.

Feel free to do what you’d like with these images! Please enjoy this final installment of Blanc.
