A Few Days Later, Closing Ceremony
Kamiyama High School Gymnasium
Principal
Ermm, hello everyone. The weather is beautiful today—
えー、皆さんこんにちは。 本日は、お日柄もよく——
Principal
—And we are able to celebrate this closing ceremony today thanks to your daily efforts to behave moderately, but we ask you all to be even more careful as we move into this next semester—
——こうして終業式を無事に迎えることができたのは、 皆さんの日々の節度ある行動がゆえではありますが、 しかし新学期へ向けて一層安全には気を引き締めていただき——
Akiyama Mizuki
Mizuki
*yawn*
ふわあ……
Shiraishi An
An
C'mon, Mizuki. At least try and behave.
もう、瑞希。もうちょっと抑えなって
Akiyama Mizuki
Mizuki
Can you blame me? The principal talks for so long… Doesn't it make you sleepy?
だってさー、校長先生の話って長くて眠くなんない?
Shiraishi An
An
Ah, well, it's not that I don't get it…
あー、まあ、気持ちはわかるけど
Shiraishi An
An
But… Isn't it starting to sink in for you too? This is the end of our first year.
でも……ちょっとしみじみしちゃわない? これで1年生も終わりって思うとさ
Akiyama Mizuki
Mizuki
Mmmm…. I mean, maybe?
んー……まあ、そうかも?
Shiraishi An
An
C'mon, you're not thinking that at all.
もー、全然思ってないでしょ
Principal
—So with that being said… I would like everyone to take this opportunity to reflect back on the past year and use it as fuel to continue moving forward into the future.
——ということで……皆さんには、この機会に、 より心身の成長につなげていただけるよう 1年を振り返っていただきたいと思っています
Shiraishi An
An
Ah…
あ……
Shiraishi An
An
(Reflect back on the past year, huh…?)
(1年を振り返って、か……)
Shiraishi An
An
(It's true, a ton of stuff happened…)
(たしかに、本当にいろんなことがあったな……)
Shiraishi An
An
(I was looking for a partner for so long. Someone who would want to surpass RAD WEEKEND with me—)
(ずっと、相棒を探してた。 RAD WEEKENDを一緒に超えようって思える相手を——)
Shiraishi An
An
(It wasn't easy, but…)
(なかなか見つからなかったけど……)
Shiraishi An
An
(I was able to meet the best partner ever, who makes my heart race so much…)
(すっごくドキドキできる最高の相棒に出会えて……)
Shiraishi An
An
(I met Miku and the others… And we clashed with Toya and Akito, but… We were able to become the best teammates.)
(ミク達にも出会って……冬弥と彰人とも、 ぶつかることはあったけど……最高の仲間になれた)
Shiraishi An
An
(And—)
(それに——)
Shiraishi An
An
(Now, I know how Nagi-san felt too.)
(今は、凪さんの想いもちゃんと知ってる)
Shiraishi An
An
(...I’ll surpass RAD WEEKEND. That feeling is stronger than it’s ever been.)
(……RAD WEEKENDを超える。 この想いは、前よりずっと強くなってる)
Shiraishi An
An
(So… I’ll keep moving forward with everyone…!)
(だから……これから先も、みんなと一緒に進んでいこう……!)
After Several Hours
Class 1-A
Akiyama Mizuki
Mizuki
Phew… It's over, it's over! It feels like it's kind of a bargain to have it over in the morning, huh?
ふー、終わった終わった。 午前中で終わりだと、なんかお得感あるよね
Shiraishi An
An
Ahaha! I guess so!
あはは。たしかにね
Shiraishi An
An
But… I guess this is the last time we'll come to this classroom.
けど……これでこの教室に来るのも最後かあ
Akiyama Mizuki
Mizuki
Ah, I guess so. When you put it like that, it's almost a little lonely, huh~?
あ、そっか。 そう考えると、ちょっと寂しい気もするね~
Akiyama Mizuki
Mizuki
But, that's a good thing! You're only able to think that because you were able to graduate properly!
けど、よかったじゃん! そう思えるのって、ちゃんと進級できるからだし!
Shiraishi An
An
C-c'mon! You don't need to bring that up!
も、もう! それは言わなくていいでしょ
Akiyama Mizuki
Mizuki
Ahaha! But…
あはは! けど……
Akiyama Mizuki
Mizuki
Thanks, An.
ありがとね、杏
Shiraishi An
An
Huh?
え?
Akiyama Mizuki
Mizuki
I had a lot of fun, being in the same class as you!
杏と同じクラスになれて楽しかったからさ!
Akiyama Mizuki
Mizuki
I don't know if we'll be in the same class next year, so I figured I may as well say it.
次は同じクラスになれるかわかんないし、 一応言っておこうと思って
Shiraishi An
An
Ah…
あ……
Shiraishi An
An
I had fun too! But…
私も、楽しかったよ! でも……
Shiraishi An
An
Being in different classes won't actually change anything, will it? 'Cause we'll still be friends!
別にクラスが違ったって、何も変わらないでしょ? だって、私達これからも友達だし
Shiraishi An
An
Let's get along even as second years, Mizuki!
2年生になってもよろしくね、瑞希!
Akiyama Mizuki
Mizuki
…Yeah. You're right.
……そうだね
Akiyama Mizuki
Mizuki
Let's get along, An!
よろしく、杏!
Akiyama Mizuki
Mizuki
I know. Why don't we go out and get some food after this?
そうだ。このあと、一緒にご飯食べに行かない?
Akiyama Mizuki
Mizuki
It's a little late, but I was planning this as a celebration for passing remedials, so I already reached out to Rui and the others.
ちょっと遅くなっちゃったけど、 補習お疲れさま会ってことで、類達にも声かけてるんだよね
Akiyama Mizuki
Mizuki
I'm sure there's a lot that's keeping you guys busy, but while we have the chance…
いろいろ忙しいとは思うけど、お昼食べるついでにさ
Shiraishi An
An
Ah… What should I do? I wanna go, but I’ve got practice—
あ……どうしよ。 行きたいけど、練習もあるし——
Shiraishi An
An
——Yeah. I'll come, actually.
——うん。やっぱり、行こうかな
Akiyama Mizuki
Mizuki
Wait, are you sure?
え、大丈夫なの?
Shiraishi An
An
Yeah. I've got practice, so I might have to leave halfway through, but if that's okay with you, then…
うん。練習があるから 途中抜けするかもだけど……それでもいいなら
Akiyama Mizuki
Mizuki
Yay~! That's totally okay by me!
やった~! 全然OKだよ♪
Akiyama Mizuki
Mizuki
Then, we’re supposed to meet up at the school gates, so when you're ready to head out, let's go together!
それじゃあ、校門のところで待ち合わせしてるから 帰りの支度終わったら、一緒に行こ!
Shiraishi An
An
Yeah!
うん!
School Gate
Classmate A
See you later then, An, Akiyama-san!
それじゃあまたね、杏、暁山さん!
Classmate B
Let's keep getting along as second years~!
2年生になってもよろしくね~!
Shiraishi An
An
Yeah! Bye bye, you two!
うん! バイバイ! ふたりとも!
Akiyama Mizuki
Mizuki
Where are Rui and the others… Oh, there they are! They're all gathered up by the gates.
類達は……お、いたいた。 校門の前のところ、集まってるね
Akiyama Mizuki
Mizuki
Looks like we're the last ones. Let's pick up the pace!
ボク達が最後かな。ちょっと急ごっか
Shiraishi An
An
Ah… Yeah!
あ……うん!
Shiraishi An
An
Ah…
あ……
Shiraishi An
An
(The wind… And I can smell the leaves, too…)
(風……。それに葉っぱの匂い……)
Shiraishi An
An
(The seasons are gonna keep changing like this…)
(こうやって、どんどん季節も変わってくんだ……)
Shiraishi An
An
(I'm sure a lot of stuff's gonna happen in the next year too…)
(学年もあがって、 これからもいろんなことがあると思うけど……)
Shiraishi An
An
(—But I'll be okay. I have so many friends at my side.)
(——大丈夫。私には、たくさん仲間がついてる)
Shiraishi An
An
(I have teammates who'll chase the same dream as me, and—)
(一緒に夢を追う仲間と、それに——)
Akiyama Mizuki
Mizuki
Oii, An! C'mon, hurry up!
おーい、杏! 早く早く!
Shiraishi An
An
(—And I have a lot of friends at school, too.)
(——学校にいるたくさんの仲間も)
Shiraishi An
An
(I’ll treasure everyone…)
(みんなを大切にして……)
Shiraishi An
An
(And I’ll keep moving forward towards my goal.)
(これからも、目標に向かって進んでいこう)
Shiraishi An
An
—I'm coming!
——今行く!
