Yamada to Kase-san ch20: Moth Orchids and Kase-san.

p1
>A storm of flowers and hearts.

p2
>Hey! Kase!!

p3
>You're the only one falling behind!
>What are you playing at!?
>Quit spacing out!

p4
>Phew

>What's up? The coach really chewed you out there.
>>pat
>Ahaha

>Inoue-senpai.
>So what is it? Feeling out of whack somehow?
>It's not like you to let your times slip.

>If you lose focus, the other girls will leave you behind!
>Everyone's your rival, after all! It's much tougher than in high school, y'know!?
>Get it together, Kase! I wanna be in the tournament with you next year!

>Yeah, I know, Senpai.

p5
>Akane~ Let's do some stretching~
>Oh
>Kay~!

>Pull yourself together, Kase!
>>slap
>Take that!

>Hah

>Ka~se!

p6
>Feeling out of whack, Kase? This could be my chance to be in the tournament next year!
>Just kidding!

>...

>It's Aikawa!!
>Just so you know!

>...Or rather, do you have a cold too, Kase?
>Your roommate Fukami-san is off today, after all.

p7
>Sorry, I didn't notice!
>They said you were sick with a fever!?

>Are you okay?

>Of course I'm not okay. Keep it down.

>Ah. I see.
>If there's anything I can do...
>Don't worry. I've got plenty of water.
>Go back to practise.

>...Right. Understood.

p8
>>shut

>>creak...
>Why are you still here!?

>Well, you were with me the entire time I had a cold, Fukami.
>That made me happy, so
>I'm gonna stay by your side too.

>I'll be quiet.

>...Do what you want.

p9
>Are you sure you shouldn't be going to practise?
>Your times have been dropping lately, right?
>You even got yelled at by the coach today.
>Eh?

>How did you know!?
>It's all over LINE.

>How scary~
>Word spreads fast.
>That's the kinda world it is.
>You should know that, right?
>You in particular really stand out,
>so get back and work on training your muscles.

>...Yeah.
>>giggle
>I'll do a whole bunch once I feel like it, but...

p10
>Hah...
>What's with that expression...?
>...Hey, Fukami.

>Do you have someone you like?
>Huh!?

>Wh-
>Why do I have to answer that?
>You made my fever go up!
>I guess I can tell you, Fukami...

>Y'see,
>I can't seem to run properly
>cos I keep thinking that the person I'm dating might dump me.

p11
>Her lover!?
>I haven't had a clue about what her lover was like since that phone call.
>I was sure they had already broken up.

>That's what I thought, but...
>They're still dating!?

>It's strange, isn't it?
>I've never felt this way before.
>We've been dating for so long,
>but now I feel really scared.
>Even I'm surprised at how mentally weak I am.

>If I were to lose that person,
>I feel like I'd be alone for the rest of my life.
>Huh?
>I don't think there's anyone who could love me as much as they do.

p12
>There's a whole bunch!
>You're stupidly popular, aren't you!?
>Kya~ Kya~ Kya~

>Ah, but it's only girls she's popular with...

>What is this girl trying to tell me?
>And what's with that expression?
>It's gonna make my fever go up.

>"Kase Tomoka" from that interhigh can't run?
>I don't want to hear something so pathetic...
>You're way too lacking in confidence.

>If I were a guy, I'd probably date you, Kase-san.
>You're cute, after all.
>Eh?

p13
>Uwah! Is this because of the fever?
>I-
>If I were a guy, that is!
>I'm just speaking metaphorically!
>Why am I saying such weird things!?

>Thanks.

>If you were a guy, Fukami, I might wanna date you too.
>You'd probably be really handsome.

>Thanks, Fukami.
>You were consoling me, right?
>You're so kind.

p14
>Ah! Your face is all red!
>Sorry! Are you okay?
>Did your fever go up!?

>Sorry! I think I'll go outside to train after all!
>>...

>I'm sorry. Even though you hate hearing about private affairs,
>I talked about it while you have a fever.
>It's fine. Just a little bit is okay.

>Wouldn't it be better to ask that "flower" friend of yours for advice?
>Considering you went all that way to see her,
>she could probably help you come to some sort of conclusion.

>Eh?
>How did you know...?

>The flowers on the desk!
>I could tell just from looking!
>They're not there anymore, though.
>Even an idiot could tell!

p15
>Or rather, if you have the time to be asking me or that friend for advice,
>shouldn't you meet up with your lover in person and talk it out together?
>Seeing you look depressed is gonna make my fever go up.
>Rather than moping about it here, isn't it more important to get things back to your own pace as soon as possible?

>You don't have the time to be getting uneasy about pointless crap, right?
>People don't normally have the time for that!

>You're right!
>>giggle giggle

>Sorry. Thank you, Fukami.
>Rest well.

p16
>I'll buy you some provisions.
>If you run into any trouble
>just give me a call!

>...

>>shut

>...
>Bwah

>Uwah!
>What
>Bwawawa~
>was I saying!?

>I feel like I said something unnecessary.
>It's so embarrassing!
>You're so kind.
>My head hurts...
>>clang clang clang

p17
>I wish she wouldn't talk about pointless crap when I've got a fever.
>Is she stupid or something?
>Think about it.

>Kase
>has been dating someone for a long time...?
>A long time?
>That's surprising.

>I hate this.
>What is this?
>This rattling inside my heart.
>Just what is this?

>Kya~
>Amazing!
>Look at this ikebana! [TN: art of flower arrangement]

p18
>Gorgeous!
>They say the Flowerbed Prince arranged it!
>Amazing! It's for the school festival, right? I'd expect no less~!

>He can do ikebana too~!?
>Gotta take a photo!
>I've always wanted to see an arrangement~~!
>>yay yay
>>click click

p19
>So he's learning kado too! [tn: technically the same as ikebana, translating to "the way of the flowers"]
>For an actor, Seki-san sure can do anything, huh!
>Why is he an actor~?
>...

>What's wrong, Yui-chan?

>Hah~~~~

>Did you see the courtyard?
>That's the garden Sensei and Seki-san produced, right?
>It was too amazing to put into words~~~!

>They probably made it flashy because that's where they'll be holding the talk show, right?
>You can color me impressed too~!
>Aaah
>There's no way I could do something like that~~~!
>I haven't done kado either.
>Haaah~
>So depressing!

p20
>We've only just started on the road to agriculture.
>There's still a mountain of stuff I'll have to do!
>Aah~ I haven't done anything~
>I don't have any qualifications either, so I'm worried about what I can accomplish in the three years I have left!
>>heavily...

>You've been in the library a lot lately, haven't you, Yui-chan?
>That's extreme~
>Hrmmm
>I mean, I had no idea until the Prince told me!

>But I really love your sense of style, Yui-chan.
>It's very girly and cute.
>It may not be flashy, but it feels nice and warm.
>I've heard that experience is more important than qualifications when it comes to being a gardener.
>I don't think there's any need for you to rush.
>You sure know your stuff...

>Seki-san said that you "have talent", so keep at it, Yui-chan!
>Eh?
>Ehehe
>Eh? He told you that too!?

p21
>The Flower Prince said that I "have talent"!
>Me too~
>Kyahahaha
>No way, me too!
>Me too
>Me too
>Kya~

>Oh. He told everyone that.
>Ahahaha

>Well,
>of course.
>It's just lip service for ordinary students.
>I took it seriously...
>Fufu

>But Yui-chan,
>Seki-kun did actually see through me.

>He noticed that I was just planting my flowers randomly.
>Eh?

p22
>Raising seedlings is my speciality, but
>pairing flowers together... not so much.
>I'm bad with stuff I can't do at home.

>Heh...
>I don't get it.
>I thought yours was good, though.
>It wasn't good at all~

p23
>Amazing...
>I've seen beautiful gardens in my hometown, but
>this is moving on a completely different scale.
>They packed so much volume into such a small area.

>As expected
>of the great Tagame Densuke-sensei!!
>Amazing!
>And the Flower Prince, I guess.
>>shock

>I just thought it was somewhat lacking...
>Hahahaha
>>poof

>Grr... I won't lose!
>I'm definitely gonna do my best!
>>burn
>>Greenification Pride

p24
>That's a big car...
>What's it doing parked here?

>Yui-chan!
>Beep beep
>>twitch

>Thank goodness! I was worried that I wouldn't see you!
>>slam
>The Prince!
>Eh?

p25
>I've been waiting for you.
>Sorry. I have a teensy favor to ask... You got a minute?

>Eh?

>Yamada.
>She hasn't been responding to my LINEs.

>Even though I came all this way...
>she hasn't even read them.

p26
>>slam

>Alright, is here okay?
>It's fine!
>Are you sure about this? Yay!

>Yamada!?
>Thank you very much!
>I'll take good care of them.

p27
>Kase-san!?

p28
>THWOMP!
>!

>What're you giving her flowers for!?
>You bastard!
