Proofread Neue Green Chapter 12

1-0 (left side caption) Yumeko feels cheerful, as opposed to Ryou who's...
1-1 Hey, hey, hey!
        I may show up on Old Whistle!
1-2 If I win this next audition, I'll seriously be considered!!
1-3 I can't believe it! It's like a dream!
1-4 I'm sure even Big Sis would be pleased. (Not sure who his "Big Sis" is.)
# It's not written, but it'd have to be Azusa, wouldn't it?
1-5 Wait, aren't you listening!?
1-6 How come you're so down, you should be celebrating too!

(the rest of the page is announcing the release of the tankoubons of the DS comics)

Pages 3:
3-1 Wha-!?
        You're taking on Chihaya Kisaragi!?
3-2 Are you stupid?
3-3 It's obvious you have no chance of beating her!
3-4 Isn't it an unwritten rule that you should never go against someone you can't possibly beat?
3-5 (outside) It's stupid...
3-6 However...
3-7 Even if there's no chance of winning, I can't just run away.
3-8 I've made up my mind
        And this is the path I choose.
3-9 Whatever the result, it's gonna give you a rep, but I guess there's nothing that can be done about it.
3-10 Still, if I picked a fight, I'd pick one I could actually win.
3-11 I wasn't picking a fight

Page 4:
4-1 Very well, use these.
4-2 What are these?
4-3 My newest spice tablets from hell!
        So fiery even people who love extremely spicy food will beg for mercy. Have her taste one and you'll easily overtake her. It's my most wicked masterpiece!
4-4 If you use these, even Chihaya Kisaragi would be knocked out in one blow
4-5 No way!!
4-6 This should never be used! Chihaya-san is a wonderful person, she makes everyone happy with her songs!
	How could you stoop so low with someone like her, you devil! You are a demon!!
4-7 (outside) Yumeko-chan, you should eat them instead!!
4-8 Wha!? She's your opponent, ain't she? You want to win, don't you!?
4-9 Even though she's my opponent, she's not my enemy! I want to win but this is out of the question!!
4-10 Ah
4-11 What's this!? Ouch! My eyes, they sting!
4-12 (white moonrunes) Make it stop!!

Page 5:
5-1 Damnit... If you can't win on your own merits and don't want to cheat...
        What do you intend to do now?
5-2 We won't be able to go back to the family restaurant
5-3 If sabotaging your rivals is out of the question...
5-4 Hmmm...
5-5 You'd have to improve your abilities, but how...
5-6 Increase my power... huh?
5-7 Maybe new lessons... a new costume...
5-8 Takeda-san's composing skills are top-notch...
5-9 I guess under these circumstances, nothing good would result
5-10 So please give up instead of becoming a martyr.
5-11 Thank you so much, Yumeko-chan!! I think I can do it!
5-12 Huh?

Page 6:
6-1 You want me to compose for you?
6-2 Yes, definitely. If you would, please.
6-3 ...Write a song for you
6-4 I could do it
        but
6-5 You intend to use this in your audition against Kisaragi... isn't that right?
6-6 ... That's right

Page 7:
7-1 Before I do that, tell me
7-2 What do you think of Kisaragi-kun?
7-3 She's someone who I admire with all my heart...
7-4 Chihaya-san told me that "Songs can change the world"
        Not even words hold that much power. Nor do firearms.
7-5 Someone who holds that kind of belief
        is an amazing person.
7-6 Has Ryou been blinded by her...?
7-7 You want to believe in yourself like Kisaragi-kun does in herself?
7-8 Yes

Page 8:
8-1 That's what I was thinking.
8-2 Chihaya-san completely surpasses me in every way
8-3 But when we spent time together, I wanted to catch up to her even just a little. That was all I could think about...
8-4 However, I can't be someone other than myself.
        The way I am right now, I can't beat her with my abilities...

Page 9:
9-1 But that's exactly why I don't wish to give up.
9-2 I don't want to become an idol who'll never be able to take on Chihaya-san
        I don't want it to end in just being wishful thinking...
9-3 I want to beat Chihaya-san!!

Page 10:
10-1 And that's why you're asking me to compose a song for you.
10-2 It may be underhanded of me to come up with this
10-3 But
        No matter what, I can't stand the thought of losing like this
10-4 Underhanded...
10-5 Yeah, it probably is.
10-6 But you earnest when you told me your wish.
10-7 I don't think anyone could hate you for it.
10-8 And whatever you do, never lose sight of your position.
10-9 I'll take your commission.

Page 11:
11-1 Thank you so much!!
11-2 However, I can't assure you that it'll be done in time for the audition
11-3 Huh!?
11-4 I'm the type of person who can't compose unless inspiration hits me.
11-5 Well, I'm still going to try my best, though
11-6 I ask that you please forgive me if it doesn't work out
11-7 Yes, I understand
11-8 Alright...! So it's a matter of luck if the song's going to finished in time
11-9 Then
11-10 All I can do now is throw everything I have into this.

Page 12:
12-1 Good morning, Akizuki-san
12-2 Good morning!
12-3 Good luck on today's audition
12-4 ...Are you ok? It might just be me, but you don't seem in good condition...
12-5 Huh? Is that... so? I'm OK!
12-6 Really... If you say so
12-7 And you, Chihaya-san...
12-8 I'm always in top condition
12-9 Let's both of us do our best

Page 13:
13-1 He didn't make it in time...!!
13-2 I don't have a plan. If I go on stage, I can already see my humiliating defeat before me...
13-3 Is there... Is there nothing I can do...!?
13-4 Takeda-sa...
13-5 Ryou-san, hello there!!

Page 14:
14-1 Ai-chan, Eri-chan. What is it?
14-2 We came to bring you a package that's addressed to you.
14-3 It arrived shortly after you left the office.
14-4 Let's see...
14-5 Here you go!
14-5 Is this... what you had told us about earlier, that new song...?
14-6 Yes! I'm sure of it!!

Page 15:
15-1 How nice that we managed to bring it over!
15-2 Yeah.
15-3 Will you focus on memorizing it?
15-4 Yeah
15-5 Well then, would you like to use my notebook and my headphones...?
15-6 Huh...
15-7 Ehm, ugh, I give you my energy!  Please use it!
15-8 Thank you!
        Ai-chan! Eri-chan!
15-9 Do your best!
15-10 We'll be cheering for you!
15-11 Thank you

Page 16:
16-1 I still have half an hour...
16-2 At this rate, I won't have it down by the time I go on stage...
16-3 I don't have enough time
16-4 While Takeda-san accepted my offer to compose for me...
16-5 If I go like this...!

Page 17:
17-1 No!
17-2 It's not just Takeda-san's song.
17-3 It's also the lessons I took from Chihaya-san!
17-4 She let me learn from her
17-5 Even if it was only a little bit, I can't let it go to waste!
17-6 If I can convey the lyrics in a way people can understand with their hearts
17-7 There's no song that I can't sing

Page 19:
19-1 Just like we expected
19-2 Yeah, there's no room for complaints
        Chihaya Kisaragi really is outstanding
19-3 Now, number 6, Ryou Akizuki-san
19-4 Yes
19-5 Makoto-san, Yayoi-san
19-6 Everyone, even Chihaya-san

Page 20/21:
20-1 Please watch as I show you the fruits of everything you've taught me.
20-2 Take this!!
20-3 Dazzling World

Page 22:
22-1 Now we'll reveal the results.
22-2 I did all I could
22-3 All that's left is to believe...!

Page 23:
23-1 Congratulations, Chihaya Kisaragi.
23-2 Thank you very much.
23-3 It wasn't enough...
23-4 Akizuki-san
23-5 Ah...
23-6 Chihaya-san, congratulations
23-7 Thank you.

Page 24:
24-1 Akizuki-san, the song you performed earlier...
24-2 Could it be...
24-3 Yeah, it was composed by Takeda-san
24-4 So it really was...
24-5 Yet I still lost.
24-6 Even though he put everything into writing it
        I couldn't not rise to the occasion
24-7 It was a good song
24-8 But it's a song that's just been born
24-9 That song is definitely going to grow with you
24-10 And it's going to be the song helps you mature and gain self-confidence.

Page 25:
25-1 For singers like us, encountering a song like this brings us happiness
25-2 I'm glad that I was able to share in that happiness too
25-3 I was listening intently to your song
25-4 Your song didn't lose, it was a wonderful piece.
25-5 Ryou-sa...

Page 26:
26-1 Losing is frustrating but...
26-2 I'm glad she talked with me
26-3 Not even I can understand these overflowing emotions
26-4 These tears coming out...
26-5 I can't stop them
26-6 (final caption) Only now do the tears come out...
