Shumi Yuuyuu by Kaiten-Mokugyo

[insaneneko]

I've gotten back into a TezuRyo kick, thanks to some great stories I recently read. XD So I dug through my doujinshi and rediscovered this amusing story by one of my favorite TezuRyo circles, Kaiten-Mokugyo. I've scanned and translated some of their stuff before. I hope people enjoy it as much I do.

Does anyone want to buy a copy of this? I actually have two...I also have an extra copy of my favorite doujinshi by the same group, Catch and Release?...










p3
on sign: Water Service Work Notice
7/x (Sat) West Building and pool
7/x (Sun) East Building and tennis courts
Scheduled for 10:00 - 17:00

Tezuka: ...So there will be no practice tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
Tezuka: In order to stay out of the way of the workers...You are forbidden from entering school grounds at all. Don't come to school.
Tezuka: That's all. You can go!!
Kikumaru: It's been a while since we've had two days off in a row!!
Kikumaru: Oishi, let's go to Toshimaen? We can slide on the Water Slider!!
Oishi: Have the pools opened already?




p4
Momoshiro: What, you're going to the pool!? Eiji-sempai, me too, me too!!! (I want to go!)
Kikumaru: Oh, you wanna? Sure! But just letting you know that we're gonna stay all day...Fuji, Taka-san, you guys should come too.
Kawamura: Huh? Sure...It'll have to be after preparing for the day at the restaurant. Is that okay?
Fuji: Haha, I don't think we'll meet up that early in the morning. (Don't worry about it, Taka-san)
Kikumaru: All right then, we'll all go!! Inui and Kaidoh, you're definitely coming, right?
on paper in Kaidoh's hands: Special schedule
Inui: Ah, it might be good, Kaidoh...It'll strengthen your lower body.
Momoshiro: I'm so looking forward to it!...Echizen, don't you oversleep.
Echizen: I'm not going.
Momoshiro: HUH? Why not? Let's go!...You do know how to swim, right?
Kikumaru: What!? Ochibi, you're not coming!?...Why? Why?



p5
Echizen: I don't have the money.
Kikumaru: ....Oh...money...
Momoshiro: ...That can't be helped...
Oishi: What about you, Tezuka? (I'll ask just in case)
Tezuka: ...No thanks...I don't care for crowds, anyway.
Oishi: That's true...




p6
?: Then let's meet at the station at ten...Is the South Exit okay?
?: I wonder how hot it'll be tomorrow...
Tezuka: Echizen
Tezuka: There's something I want to talk to you about...Can you stay for a while?
Echizen: Okay




p7
...How...
?: See you tomorrow!! I'm looking forward to it!!
?: H...hope it's sunny!!
?: Thanks everyone!!
HOW OBVIOUS ARE YOU!!!
?: It's dangerous to swim when you haven't had enough sleep. Everyone, rest well!
?: Don't forget an extra set of underwear!!
sfx: general sounds of commotion

An exodus

Tezuka: The clean-up was unusually quick today.
Echizen: Yeah...I guess they were really looking forward to the pool...




p8
Echizen: So...What did you want to talk about?
Tezuka: Ah yes
Tezuka: About the conversation just now
Tezuka: Was the only reason you declined Kikumaru's invitation...Because you have financial difficulties?
Echizen: That's right
Echizen: Though, I'm with you buchou...I don't like going to crowded places, either.
Tezuka: Is that right...Then you don't have anything planned tomorrow?
Echizen: Yes
Tezuka & Echizen: ...




p9
Echizen: Buchou? (Is that all you wanted to talk about?)
Tezuka: Oh, uh, sorry...Well, you see
Tezuka: About tomorrow...
Tezuka: If you are free...Let's
Tezuka: Climb a mountain together.




p10
Echizen: ...A mountain...
Tezuka: There are several mountains we could climb in a day trip around Tokyo...The only cost is the train fare and there would be few people around.
Echizen: (I thought he was an old fogey, but this is grandpa territory already...)
Echizen: Is climbing mountains fun?
Tezuka: I can't guarantee it as it depends on the person...But I enjoy it.
Echizen: Really
Echizen: You enjoy it, buchou. Makes me curious...How is it enjoyable?
Tezuka: How...




p11
Tezuka: It's hard to put into words...
Tezuka: For example...It's like a simulation of life...
Echizen: Life (is that how you're putting it)
Tezuka: Yes. You climb one step at a time towards a peak you can't see.
Tezuka: Though you'll naturally tire and rest...Along the way there are many things that you find enjoyable, such as plants and animals.
Tezuka: And what awaits you at the peak that you've worked to climb is a splendid view.
Tezuka: That exhilaration you feel is similar to what you get in sports.
Echizen: Really...




p12
Echizen: Then you've redone your life quite a number of times, buchou...
Tezuka: That's true...I've been taken to climb mountains by my father for as long as I can remember.
Echizen: You really are my sempai in life, then.
Tezuka: I suppose you can put it that way...You say some clever things.
Tezuka: So, what do you think? I have some mountains suitable for beginners in mind...
Tezuka: Do you want to go? I'm not saying you have to.
Echizen: Yeah.
Echizan: I'll go.




p13
Echizen: I want to try something you enjoy, buchou.
Echizen: Though I won't go again if it's boring.
Tezuka: Is that right...
Tezuka: What is...




p14
sfx: thumping, screaming and yelling in surprise
Fuji: Momo, you put too much weight on the door...
Momoshiro: I'm sorry...God, it's heavy...Eiji-sempai, please get off...
Kikumaru: Fuji is on top of me! It's heavy for me too!!!




p15
Tezuka: You....
Fuji/Kikumaru/Momoshiro: Oh
Kikumaru: But we were anxious! You don't talk enough, after all. We were worried for you!
Fuji: That's right, it's out of a sense of friendship!! Friendship!!...We thought we'd help you out if something happened!
Momoshiro: But you both spoke too softly and we couldn't hear anything!!
Tezuka: Shut up!! Hurry up and go home!!!
Kawamura: Sorry Tezuka...
Inui: It's true we couldn't hear, you know...What did he say to you?
Echizen: You want to know?




p16
Echizen: Buchou asked me...If I want to walk with him through life.
Echizen: And I said OK.
?: With him though life!??
?: You p-p-proposed to him Tezuka!!?
?: Geez, don't you think you skipped ahead much, Tezuka?...You really can't be fathomed by common sense, can you...I'm quite moved...
?: That's true. It sounds like a joke but in this case the possibility that it's not so much a joke...As a way of expressing the truth in a different way is much higher.
?: Hey, you said OK, Echizen!?
?: Echizen, you're joking, right? Right?
?: Tezuka...I have complete trust in what you do...I do...But whatever the circumstances isn't this a bit too soon? (Ouch)
Tezuka: I TOLD YOU TO GO HOME!!!
