The clouds adorning the setting sun whispered "It's gonna be your turn next" into my ear
But now that they've grown tired of just killing time I'm sure I'll just be their scapegoat
But I'm the king of my very own world
I can even run on top of water
I'm the egg who can put itself back together again after a fall
And can even go on to become an astronaut
I'm sure if I pick up all the beads that rained from the sky and gather them up
Then one day I'll finally be able to plant a flag which signifies my very own liberty
So I pull on my ripped jeans and fight back the tears the draft brings
I exhale a big gulp of air and then another 'cause I'm a boxer rising up again
You only get one chance to come back from the brink
So pound on that door you painted yourself
The colorful ink disperses into two paths
But you're the one who decides how your flower blooms

"If you believe, your dream will come true."
（山崎(やまざき)）“信じれば 夢は かなう”
That's probably true.
それは多分 本当だ
Upper ranks
However, there's something missing.
ただし 一文が抜けている
"If you believe and keep working hard,
“信じて 努力を続ければ—”
your dream will come true."
“夢は かなう”
That's the correct one.
これが正解だ
But I could go on.
更に言えば—
"If you believe
“信じて—”

〝ほかの どの ライバルよりも—〞

“かなう”だ
キャッチコピーというものは 短いほうがいい
The shorter version works better as a catchphrase.
"If you believe, your dream will come true."
でも これは あまりにも はしょりすぎだと思う
But I think that's too abridged.
That way, it sounds like you don't have to do anything other than just believe and your dream will come true.
それじゃ まるで 何もしなくても—
ただ信じていれば かなうみたいじゃないか
I'd like to ask whoever chopped it down to a short length what they were thinking when they did it.
この文章を ここまで削ったヤツに—
何を思って ここまで 削ったのかと 問いただしたい
（山崎の友人Ａ）なあなあ 順慶(じゅんけい)
Hey, Junkei!
What dan are you right now?
（友人Ａ）お前さ 今 何段？ プロになったんだっけ？
You a professional now?
五段だけど
Five-dan.
（友人Ｂ）へえ そうなんだ？ まあ よく分かんねえけど
Wow! Really?
I don't really know what that means, though!
So, do professional shogi players make bank?
…で なに？ 棋士って儲(もう)かんの？
Forget that. Can you, like, get famous and be on TV?
（友人Ｃ）…ていうかさ 有名になって テレビとか出てよ
Don't they show it on Sunday mornings?
日曜の朝とか やってなかったっけ？
And hurry up and become Master!
…でさ 早く名人とかなっちゃってよ
Whenever I go to some kind of gathering, I'm always asked the same questions.
（山崎）人が集まる所へ行くと いつも同じ質問をされる
And I always think these are like...
…で いつも思う
こういうのって…
へえ 主任なんだ？ よく分かんねえけど
Wow, so you're a manager!
I don't know much about it, though.
So what's a manager's annual salary?
…で 年収いくらなの？ 主任って
Actually, forget that. Hurry up and become section chief or company director!
それよかさ 早く出世して
部長とか取締役とかに なっちゃってよ
All while you're still in your 20s!
バーンと20代のうちにさ
It's cooler that way, you know?
そのほうが カッコイイじゃん
Sploosh
I'd like to ask them the same kind of boorish questions they ask me.
…てのと同じくらい 暴力的な質問だと思うんだが
At first, I would try to explain to them, but that seemed to be a buzzkill,
最初のころは 説明したりもしていたが—
したらしたで盛り下がるので 黙って流すことにした
so I just keep my mouth shut and let it slide.
I realized they didn't really want to know about it,
みんな ホントに 知りたいわけじゃなくて—
but only asked me as a stock question, the way you'd say, "Nice weather today, huh?"
“今日は いい天気だね”くらいの—
挨拶みたいなものらしいと 気づいたから
なんてことはない ただ その質問に—
It doesn't mean anything.
I'm just here as a foil, as I take the minor stings from their questions.
いちいち 地味に傷つく俺がいるだけで
I just remembered!
そういやさ 順慶 お前さ まだハトとか飼ってんの？
Junkei, do you still raise pigeons?
What? Pigeons?
（友人Ｄ）えっ？ ハト？
Oh, that's right! He used to raise racing pigeons!
そうそう！ 飼ってた 飼ってた レースバト
なに それ！ 将棋にハトに どんだけ 順慶 マニアックなの？
What the hell?
Shogi and pigeons? You're such a nerd, Junkei!
ハトの世話があるんで
I have to go take care of the pigeons.
Man, Junkei's so amazing.
（友人Ａ） はぁ〜… 順慶 マジ ぱねえ
（友人Ｂ）ハァ… 相変わらず怖(こえ)え （友人Ｄ）迫力あんな やっぱ
He's as scary as always.
He gives off this really intense aura...
He always has been an oddball.
（友人Ｃ） 昔っから変わってたよねえ
I got into shogi and racing pigeons because of my grandfather, who loved both.
（山崎）将棋もレースバトも—
大好きだった祖父に 教えてもらって始めた
With shogi, the more effort you put into it, the better your results.
努力すれば するだけ 結果の出る将棋も—
愛情と手間をかければ かけた分 応えてくれるハトたちにも—
With pigeons, the more love and care you give them, the more they respond.
俺は 心から夢中になった
I became obsessed with both.
But right now,
…が その両方が今 俺の手から滑り落ちようとしている
both of them are slipping through my fingers.
やっとの思いで 昇級を決めたＣ１で—
I finally managed to get promoted to C1, but then this spring I was demoted for the second time.
２つ目の降級点を 取ってしまった今年の春
心血注いで育て上げた 最愛のレーサー 銀(ぎん)が—
And Silver, my favorite racer, which I'd put my heart into raising,
never came back after the 500-kilometer race in late spring.
春の終わりの 500キロメートルレースから—
戻らなかったのだ
Did it fall prey to a falcon?
ハヤブサにやられたか 電線に当たったか—
Did it hit a power cable?
Was it because of the weather?
天候のせいか…
どこかで傷を負って—
Just imagining it lying wounded and suffering somewhere
苦しんでいる姿を 想像するだけで—
was enough to make me feel overcome with grief.
胸が かきむしられるような気がした
It felt like those dark clouds would swallow up everything.
何もかもが あの黒い雲に—
のみ込まれてしまったような 気がした
Trying to predict my opponent's moves ahead of time is like diving to the bottom of a pitch-black sea.
深く読むことは 真っ暗な水底(みなそこ)に 潜っていくのに似てる
The solution is only found there at the bottom,
“答え”は 真っ暗な水底にしかなく—
and as you move forward, the next solution can only be found at an even lower depth.
進めば進むほど 次の“答え”は 更に深い所でしか見つからなくなる
昔は 潜れば潜るほど “答え”が手に入って—
It used to be that the more I dove, the more solutions I would get,
恐怖より “欲しさ”が勝(まさ)っていた
and desire would triumph over fear.
But now, six years after I've turned pro, I feel like I can't make any progress at all.
だが プロになって６年たつも—
全く 先に 進めなくなってしまった今では…
Even when I dive down so deep it feels like my body is going to be torn apart,
全身が ちぎれるような思いをして 潜っても—
I now mostly come back empty-handed.
手ぶらで戻ることが ほとんどになった
Ever since the thought "I doubt I'll find something" won out over "I may find something,"
“見つかるかも”より—
“また どうせ見つからないかも しれない”が勝(まさ)ったときから—
my efforts have been inhibited.
リミッターの利いた努力しか できなくなった
But like they're looking at me with disdain,
でも そんな俺を尻目に…
Kiriyama and Nikaidou plunge back in like it's nothing
桐山(きりやま)と二海堂(にかいどう)は 当然のように飛び込んでいく
over and over again.
何度でも
It's insane.
正気の沙汰じゃない
Even when they come back with nothing again and again,
彼らは 何度 手ぶらで戻っても—
they keep coming up with new strategies and constantly try them.
ますます対策を練って 再トライを繰り返す
Unconcerned with the anguish,
苦痛など おかまいなしに その身を投げて
they repeatedly throw themselves in
何度でも
over and over again.
（山崎）恐怖が勝(まさ)った俺を残して
Terror has won out
and left me behind.
何が何でも勝ちたかった
I wanted to win, no matter what.
I didn't want to let anyone else have the one title I could still cling to.
たったひとつ 可能性の残るタイトルを—
渡したくなかった
I heard he was sick.
体が悪いとは聞いていた
Man is derived from nature
Nature is derived from Heaven
Heaven is derived from Dao
But I also knew that his will was much stronger than mine,
でも 心は 俺なんかより ずっと強いことも
俺より きっと はるかかなたまで 行く人間だということも
and that he was someone who would go much further than me.
そうだ あのとき…
That's right.
At that moment...
There has been a fourfold repetition.
（記録係）千日手となりましたので 30分後に指し直しとなります
A rematch will begin in 30 minutes.
He smiled.
（山崎） 笑ったんだ… あいつは 確かに
I remember that.
And then...
そして…
I felt it distinctly.
張り裂けるように思った
“こいつらのいる世界に—”
I wanted to go back
to the world they were in once more.
“もう一度 戻りたい”って
Silver.
銀…
Idiot...
（二海堂）バッカ野郎…
I swear I'll beat you next time.
次は ぜってえ 負けねえんだからな
（山崎） よ〜し… よしよし いいぞ
Okay.
It's okay.
Good boy.
Here's some special stamina feed.
特製のスタミナ飯だ いっぱい食えよ 銀
Fill up, Silver.
You've become as light as paper.
こんな 紙みたいに軽くなっちまって…
But you'll be all right.
でも 大丈夫 俺がついてるからな また すぐ元気になれる
I'm with you.
You'll be healthy again in no time.
そしたら また 思いっきり飛べるようになる
And then you'll be able to really stretch your wings and fly.
But first, I'm going to do my best tomorrow.
まずは 俺が あした 思いっきり頑張ってくるから

心細くて 泣きそうになっていたら…

On both of those, I'd like two small scoops of vanilla ice cream and sweet red bean ice cream!
小盛りダブルで のせてください！

That's right, Sis! Thank you! I forgot the ice cream, and that's essential!
Oh, right. What about you, Momo?

I think they might've used plates that are normally for chilled Chinese noodles.

G-Grandpa, this is your fault.

お… おじいちゃんが いけないのよ
It hurts
B-Because you ordered fried rice cakes.

You too, Kiriyama.
Because you ordered mighty noodles.

I'm getting a flashback of Grandma and Mikako saying something like it.
同じこと 言ってたような…
When the flavors change, I can't stop eating them!

Yes. I've heard something like that before too.

You're scared of the park bathroom, huh?

What do you think it is?
Kiriyama came to see me!
桐山君が来てくれたの 京都まで！
In Kyoto!
What?!
Seriously?!
So I was by the Kamo River, and he just showed up.
あのね 鴨川(かもがわ)のとこにいたらね 来てくれたの
What?
And he gave me medicine and pudding!
（ひなた） …でね 薬とか プリンくれたの
（あかり）ウソ！
No way!
Isn't that incredible?
すごいよね？ 見つけてくれたんだよ フフッ…
He found me!
（ひなた） 自由行動の時間と場所だけで 何の約束もしてなかったのに
Just by knowing when I had free time and the location.
We didn't even plan to meet up!
This is no good.

あっ… じゃ やめよう
Let's not, then.
You don't have to do it.
ムリしないで
うん 上着 それ着ておけば 誰が通っても分かんないでしょう
Yeah.
With that jacket on, I don't think anyone will recognize you if they're just walking by.
Right.
（零）自由行動っていっても—
Even though it's called "free time," I think they frown upon spending it with students from other schools.
ほかの学校の人間といたら やっぱり マズイだろうから
How's your stomach?
胃は どう？ 痛む？
Does it hurt?
No, it's fine now.
（ひなた）ううん 今は大丈夫
But I couldn't eat lunch.
でも ご飯が食べれなかった
I see.
（零） そっか …じゃないかって思って
I thought that might be the case,
so I bought some things at the station.
駅で いろいろ買ってきた
I've got pudding, peach jelly, apple juice, castella...
プリンと桃のゼリーと リンゴジュースとカステラと…
食べられそうな物ある？
Do you think you can eat any of these?
Apple Juice
Castella
Peach Jelly
Pudding
Apple Juice
（ひなた）じゃ… プリン
How about the pudding?
（零）ＯＫ
Okay.
A spoon...
スプーン スプーンっと…
It's good.
（ひなた）おいしい
You're supposed to take this medicine between meals,
この薬は一応 食間だから… え〜っと…
Take between meals
so you should take it after you're done sightseeing at the next place, Ginkaku-ji Temple.
次の銀閣寺(ぎんかくじ) 見終わった辺りで のむといい
How did you know the next place is Ginkaku-ji Temple?
えっ どうして 次が銀閣寺って知ってるの？
What?
（零） えっ？ 旅のしおりに 書いてあったから…
It said that on your trip itinerary.
But you only saw it for a moment.
（ひなた）一瞬しか 見てなかったのに？
（零）うん？ 一瞬あれば覚えるけど…
A moment is enough for me to remember.
*Professional shogi players have remarkable memories.
（ひなた） 知らない町の川べりなのに…
I was on a river bank in a strange town,
but just Rei sitting by my side...
零ちゃんが 隣に座ってくれただけで…
…でね 薬 すっごい効いたの 晩ご飯も ちゃんと食べれたんだよ
And the medicine was really effective!
I was able to eat dinner afterward.
...was enough to make me feel like I was by the river back home.
（ひなた） いつもの川べりにいるような 気持ちになった
Oh, that's right!
（ひなた）あっ そうだ 零ちゃん 零ちゃんの試合は？
How did your match go?
I won.
（零）うん 勝った
You won? Really?
（ひなた）勝ったの？ ホント？ すごい！ 新人王？
That's amazing! So you're the Rookie King?
Yeah, I'm the Rookie King.
（零）そう 新人王
（ひなた） 知ってる場所にいるみたいに 落ち着いた
I was relaxed, like I was in a familiar place.
I see.
そっか… 薬 効いたか
The medicine worked, huh?
I shouldn't have run after all.
I'm happy for you, Hina.
良かったね ひな
It's not good to run on a full stomach.
（零）急ぐと おなかによくないよ
Rei, my stomach hurts.
（ひなた） 零ちゃん… おなか苦しい
You ate too much.
（零）食べ過ぎだよ
Come on, Momo. We're almost there.
ほら モモちゃん もう少しだよ 頑張って
Hang on!
River Scenery
I wonder why I'm smiling
The night wears on as I trace it with a finger
In the oversized nooks of this world
My heart continues to melt away
Like the petals of a flower repelling the rain yet refusing to wither
All the things important to me have spilled out
Before I knew it I was all alone and I'd walked a great distance
I'd forgotten what my own voice really sounded like
And it was the strangest feeling
After dawn broke on that long night
I remembered as if it were all a dream
I gave myself up to that nostalgic eternity
And it seems like I can go on walking again

With Master Souya?
We'll make it a huge event!
（神宮寺(じんぐうじ)） でっかく盛大にやるぞ ドーンと派手に！
Like boom, bam!
