Akari [thoughts]: The bridge---!!!
Sentarou [thoughts]: Akari...!!
Haru [thoughts]: Akari-kun...!!
Akari [thoughts]: Oh no, oh no, oh no
Akari [thoughts]: First of all, I have to fix the bridge...!
Akari [thoughts]: Why? I never had this kind of mistake, not even in practice
Akari [thoughts]: Why? Why now?
Akari [thoughts]: Why...!!!???
Akari [thoughts]: The performance! What part are they playing now---...
Akari [thoughts]: I can't rejoin...!!!
Akari [thoughts]: This is bad, this is bad
Akari [thoughts]: There is no gap for me to enter the song...!!
Akari [thoughts]: What do I do?
Akari [thoughts]: What do I do?
Akari [thoughts]: I can't, I---
Sentarou [memory]: Calm down, Akari!!!
Sentarou [memory]: Let me be super clear with you
Sentarou [memory]: You aren't playing alone up there!
Sentarou [memory]: We can cover any of your misses, no problem!!
Haru [memory]: Akari-kun, there's nothing to worry about
Haru [memory]: We are right here with you.
Sentarou [memory]: You can do it!!!
Akari [thoughts]: ---Calm down. If I just recklessly try to rejoin at this speed, I will mess it up
Akari [thoughts]: The tempo becomes gentler a bit later, so I will enter then...!
Akari [thoughts]: It's ok, I can surely rejoin from there!
Akari [thoughts]: Just a bit more
Akari [thoughts]: Eight, Seven
Akari [thoughts]: Six, Five----
Chika [thoughts]: He's back... Sigh
Keishi [thoughts]: Well handled...!
Sane [thoughts]: Daaaaaaamn---!!! These kinds of things also happen...?
Mittsu [thoughts]: That's rough...
Tsukaji [thoughts]: Now is just a matter of whether this incident will affect the rest of the performance or not----...
Chika [thoughts]: This is the part Hozuki's Mom told us about before---...
Chiharu [memory]: "It sounded like a small stream glittering with light"
Sentarou [thoughts]: It's ok Akari, Haru.
Sentarou [thoughts]: Let's go together until the end!!
San-baka [thoughts]: It's here----!!! Eidai's Specialty
Natsu [thoughts]: Incredible speed and sharpness
Atsumu [thoughts]: Amazing... He is a first-year like me, but even after such an accident
Atsumu: Amazing... Amazing.
Sentarou [thoughts]: Next, the part that Akari has a hard time playing---...
Sentarou [memory]: I... will definitely carry the Koto Club back to Nationals!
Sentarou [memory]: So make sure to watch us, Grandma.
Granny: What a marvelous performance
Sentarou's Grandma: Yes... Yes!!
Hiro: Wow... I feel like crying
Sane: UOOOOH Eidai---!!!!
Mittsu and Kota: Waaaaaah
Natsu [thoughts]: Such high level...
Akari's friend 1: Sniff Sniff, Akari you are amazing
Akari's friend 2: You worked so hard
Akari's friend 1: E- Excuse me, Onii-san. There was a very loud sound in the middle of---...
Keishi: Aaah... At the time of moving the bridge, it fell.
Akari's friend 1: Is it something that happens often?
Keishi: No, I wouldn't say it is...
Akari's friend: If the bridge falls, does it mean that... They are disqualified or something?
Keishi: No, it doesn't but...
Keishi: It's unfortunate that something like that happened
Akari's friend 1: ...I see...
Keishi: What did you think about the performance you just heard?
Akari's friend 1: -----... It was...
Akari's friend 1: Super good!!!
Akari's friend 2: I'm super moved!!
Akari's friend 3: It was so cool!!
Akari's friend 4: I've got goosebumps!!
Keishi: That's all that matters
Keishi: This is a competition so they need to keep a track of points and a ranking.
Keishi: ---But when it comes to music
Keishi: The things that it made you feel
Keishi: That it moved you
Keishi: That is all that matters
Keishi: Those 3 guys' performance, it was the best, wasn't it?!!!
Akari's friend 3: I'm going to join the Koto Club too!!!
Akari's friend 1: Why so suddenly...
Akari's friend 3: I mean the Koto Club is on the verge of abolishment! Even when it's this awesome. And when the Senpais graduate Akari will be all on his own.
Akari's friend 1: I got it, calm down
Akari's friend 4: I will join too
Akari's friend 1: You too??
Suzuka: ...What a good brother
Akari: Fufu I am very proud of my brother
Keishi: Eh!!!!? Whatcha say!!?
Komaki: Eidai help up really well---! I was so touched---
Komaki: But the accident will be a disadvantage, right? Will they give them negative points or something like that?
Tsukaji: No, there isn't anything like that in the rules...
Tsukaji: But, well... There is a school like Meiryou, that played a perfect performance without any mistakes---
Tsukaji: So 1st place is no longer ---...
Sentarou: Don't cry, Akari
Akari: Even when you encouraged me like that
Akari: Even when these were the Nationals you worked so hard to reach...
Akari [thoughts]: I ruined everything
Akari [thoughts]: Everything
Akari [thoughts]: If I were not here.
Akari [thoughts]: If only the senpais came.
Sentarou: You are really an idiot, Akari
Sentarou: I didn't want to tell you but
Sentarou: "Sound of the Rapids" is not a song that a beginner should be able to play in just 3 months, to begin with
Haru: Yeah, it's a really hard song
Haru: And Akari, just in 3 months
Haru: It was your first stage appearance, playing at Nationals no less
Haru: You even kept the tempo with us the whole time. It's incredible.
Sentarou: Just how much practice you did, and you put more effort than anyone
Sentarou: Sometimes you fail, and those efforts don't always pay off.
Sentarou: ---Despite that
Sentarou: After the bridge fell, you were able to hold up and play to the very end.
Sentarou: Because you worked so hard up to this point
Haru & Sentarou: Our performance today, was the best we've ever done!!!
Side text: Effort is not always rewarded. But how you got there will never disappear.
---Kono Oto Tomare! will be on a break next month---
