Chapter title: The reason why "it's ok"
Kifune-sensei: --Marvelous
School teacher: girls, is your time to go out there-
Student: We have to go out after this?
Student: ...This is a joke, right?...
Suzuka: Okay, let's go over the plan just one more time before rehearsal.
Suzuka: Head to the carry-in entrance as soon as we arrive.
Suzuka: Umetsugu-san will bring the instruments to you, so you will pick them up them and unpack them at the designated place.
Suzuka: After that, move to the tuning room where you will have 60 minutes for the final prep.
Suzuka: Through the first waiting room and the second waiting room
Suzuka: Same as the day of the performance, you will have 9 minutes. You will play once, so pay attention to whatever is bothering you right now.
Suzuka: You're the only ones who know what the sound inside the stage is like
Umetsugu: Guyyys, good job, good joooob
Kota: Thank you for the hard work!!
Takinami: Sorry for the bother and thank you for taking care of the instruments. You have been very helpful
Umetsugu: Nah, this much is nothing
Umetsugu: We have to swap cars in 11 minutes,
so let's just get it in and over with. Everyone, take your instrument!
Umetsugu: Ok, this one's Kudou-kun's
Chika: Thank you very much
Satowa: Seems like they are just going back now
Suzuka: Come on, stop spacing out
Assistant: Please be quiet from here on, as any sound going forward will echo on the stage.
Atsumu[thoughts]: Wha- what do I do?
Atsumu[thoughts]: As expected, I'm really nervous.
Atsumu[thoughts]: Even though the senpais gave me so much advice...
Hiro: Yoshinaga, are you ok?
Atsumu: Eh? Ah, I- I'm ok
Atsumu[thoughts]: Come on, get a grip! What are you going to do if you get this nervous during the rehearsal!!
Atsumu[thoughts]: Takezou-senpai also said it yesterday!
Atsumu[thoughts]: "Don't worry about making mistakes, let's just have fun" he said!
Atsumu[thoughts]: So there's no need to get nervous!!
Assistant: It's time, so please advance to the second waiting area.
Assistant: Please do not make any noise while the group in front of you is playing.
Atsumu[thoughts]: It's ok, let's have fun
Atsumu[thoughts]: Let's have fu...
Atsumu[thoughts]: ---...Wha -what...?
Atsumu[thoughts]: ...The feeling
Atsumu[thoughts]: in my hands...
Atsumu[thoughts]: What...?
Atsumu[thoughts]: This can't be
Atsumu[thoughts]: What do I do
Atsumu[thoughts]: Am I shaking?
Atsumu[thoughts]: What should I do!?
Atsumu[thoughts]: Calm down, it's ok
Atsumu[thoughts]: It's ok
Atsumu[thoughts]: The senpais said it yesterday
Atsumu[thoughts]: That even if I'm nervous my hands will remember how to move
Atsumu[thoughts]: So it's ok
Atsumu[thoughts]: It's ok
Atsumu[thoughts]: What if I'm different?
Atsumu[thoughts]: I mean, this is just a rehearsal.
Atsumu[thoughts]: Just a rehearsal and yet
Atsumu[thoughts]: Am I---
Natsu: Take a deep breath
Natsu: Just take a deep breath
Natsu: First, take a deep breath, and then "Fuuuu"
Natsu: Take the air in through your nose
Natsu: It's ok. You can play
Assistant: Tokise High School, is your turn. Please get ready
Akira: How was it, everyone? Were there any parts that were hard to hear?
Chika: The 17-stringer sound resonates a lot, so Hozuki, Hiro-senpai, and Mittsu's sounds are a little hard to hear.
Akira: Should we try pulling a little closer, then
Akira: Mizuhara-kun, Yoshinaga-kun, what about you?
Kota: I think it was just fine... probably
Atsumu: I- I feel like... it was harder to play than usual...
Atsumu: But why is that, I don't really...
Keishi: Let's move you a little bit to the left
Keishi: The 17-stringer, Momoya, plays with a very precise rhythm, so it might be easier to play if you are closer.
Keishi: Also, I think everyone should move around 10cm forward
Akira: Takinami-sensei, something to add on your side?
Akira: Well then, let's end here.
Akira: Everyone please carry your instruments out.
Keishi: This time Tokise's performance... is nuts
Keishi: I'm really looking forward to the performance
Chika[thoughts]: Ah...! The Mister...
Chika: Excuse me, can I use your bathroom?
Umetsugu Sr.: ...It's at the end of the hallway to the left
Chika: Thank you very much
Umetsugu Sr: ...Are you practicing again?
Umetsugu Sr.: You had rehearsal at the venue today, didn't you
Chika: Ah, we must be bothering you. We must be very noisy...!
Chika: We will be done soon---
Umetsugu Sr.: Is not noisy
Umetsugu Sr.: I'm used to living within these sounds (TN: I think he means he lives because there is life within the sounds. It Is a tricky one. We will figure it out)
Chika: ---I see. That must be nice
Chika[thouhts]: I wonder if he is around the same age as gramps
Chika[thoughts]: And he is also a person who makes kotos...
Chika[thoughts]: I wanted to ask him to see if he could tell me about how are kotos made
Chika: Welp! First, let's concentrate on the performance in front of me!!
Atsumu: Yeah. The public bath was very nice! It's too bad you didn't come as well.
Natsu: I don't really like public baths
Atsumu: Momoya, thank you very much
Atsumu: You really helped me in the rehearsal at the venue
Natsu: I don't think that really counts as "helping"
Atsumu: I was ready to be nervous, I didn't expect to react like that...
Atsumu: I kept telling myself that it was ok, but I ended up reeling myself up too much...
Atsumu: But when Momoya-kun said "It's ok" and I saw the senpais faces
Atsumu: I immediately thought "Aaah, it's ok" and finally calmed down!
Atsumu: Momoya-kun and the senpais really are amazing. Thank you, really
Atsumu[thoughts]: ...Getting like that at the rehearsal, even I think I'm a little lame...
Natsu: Aren't you the amazing one?
Natsu: The amount of practice and knowledge the senpais gained over the last year, you've been playing with it since the very beginning.
Natsu: Normally, it would be incredibly hard to keep up with that
Natsu: I mean, it would be impossible for me. I can't
Natsu: But Yoshinaga, I've not once seen you complain.
Natsu: I've not once seen you make a fuss, whine, or slack off.
Natsu: Just t looking like you're having fun, like it's the norm.
Natsu: Practicing with all your might up to this point. Is not something anyone can do
Natsu: Eh... what? You aren't crying are you---
Atsumu: Mo- Momoya-gun, you really thing sho? hic hic
Natsu: huhu You... That face...
Natsu: What the hell... That's disgusting
Atsumu: Uwaa Mo- Momoya-gu...
Natsu: Stop that, don't come any closer! Your nose is running!
Takezou: You have also come for a drink?
Hiro[thoughts]: kyaaa♡ kyaaaa♡ Score!♡♡
Takezou: I see, um, then...
Takezou: Want to talk for a bit?
Takezou: ---- In today's rehearsal, when Momoya-kun was the first one to reach out to Yoshinaga-kun, I was really moved.
Hiro: I totally get you!!
Hiro: I thought I was gonna start tearing up
Takezou: Ahaha Ah, so you too?
Takezou: I said something like "Let's have fun" so easily, and he still got nervous in the end...
Hiro: Yoshinaga just found himself suddenly at Nationals, having to go out and play a song with a part of his own...
Hiro: But aren't we the most nervous about this performance...?
Hiro: So, if it happens that I suddenly stiffen or freeze... At that moment---
Hiro: Kurata, will you say "It's ok" to me?
Takezou: Well then, if I get nervous
Takezou: Kurusu-san, you do the same for me
Hiro: Looks like we will be saying that to each other.
Takezou: For real. I can see it happen.
Hiro: ---...It begins tomorrow already, the competition.
Hiro: Let's hit them as hard as we can with Tokise's sound!!
Takezou: Kurusu-san, sometimes you can be really wild
Takezou: You are usually very cute
Side text: They believe in their sound. Tomorrow, they just have to play.
