Kono Oto Tomare Chapter 117 Scans and Rough TL

Scans: Kono Oto Tomare 117 RAWS

Page 1

Chapter title: The conditions for perfection

Asano: The perfect performance?

Ousuke: That's right. I've given it a lot of thought but

Ousuke: I think that's the only way we can go up against Ichiei and Tokise

Side text: A strong "commitment" to "perfection".

Page 2

Meiryo student: Wha- wait a second. I get Ichiei but Tokise...

Meiryo student: Even if they beat Himesaka, wasn't their performance at the Japanese Music Festival a mess?

Ousuke: They are completely different from that time

Ousuke: Their performance at the preliminaries could be even better than ours, as we are

Meiryo student: Eh...

Ousuke: And I was just thinking of those two schools, but other schools from all over the country could emerge.

Ousuke: Eidai's performance is pretty interesting. Another dark horse like Tokise could also appear.

Ousuke: Either way, as Meiryo is right now, I believe we will miss out on first place again.

Page 3

Asano: So we need a "Perfect performance"?

Ousuke: Yeah. Without a blemish

Asano: To be honest, I don't like the word "Perfect" all that much.

Asano: There are people who could feel too much pressure and run out of energy trying to strive for it.

Asano: Even if it's for the sake of getting first place, maybe we should find another way--

Ousuke: Whait if perfection

Page 4

Ousuke: became the "Minimum" or "The natural thing"

Ousuke: For example, if we incorporated into our practice mental training, so we could deal with the pressure and the tension, in order to reach "Perfection"

Ousuke: But that "Perfection" wasn't the goal, but the starting line

Ousuke: If "Perfection" wasn't "Something amazing" but "the normal thing"---

Page 5

Ousuke: Wouldn't that be incredibly powerful?

Yot-chan-sensei: Ousuke, just what are you thinking?

Page 6

Ousuke: What do you mean?

Yot-chan-sensei: You have never meddled in club policies or methodologies, and yet...

Ousuke: I

Ousuke: Want to without a doubt take first place this time.

Ousuke: For that purpose, is necessary that "All the club members improve their level".

Ousuke: Even with the senpais now graduated, I think Meiryo is still strong enough to end in second place

Ousuke: I don't need second place

Ousuke: What I want is the first place

Page 7

Yot-chan-sensei: ... Is the reason you want to take first place ...

Yot-chan-sensei: Asa-

Ousuke: Is because I'm a very sore loser

Ousuke: It's the same for all the club members, right? We are very ambitious.

Ousuke: So I think the hurdle of "Perfection" is proper for us

Page 8

Yot-chan-sensei: You are right

Yot-chan-sensei: This is the candidate song "Capriccio". What do you guys thin---

All: Awesome...!!!

Students: Amazing, what's with this song? Isn't it insanely cool?

Students: I bet playing it would be super fun Uwa----

Ousuke: Riiight? I thought you guys would like it---♪

Page 9

Asano: We anticipated this reaction, so we already distributed the parts

Student: The work of the club president! Ahaha

Asano: But we are also taking requests, like "I really want to play that part!", so make sure to tell me immediately if you have any.

Kou-chan: Asano-senpai, the leader of the 3rd koto part.... is me?

Asano: Yeah. I think you are qualified, Kou-chan

Asano: Being a part leader can be daunting, so will you tell me if you need anything?

Kou-chan: ! Yes...!

Page 10

Ousuke: Tsutsumin, you are the 2nd koto, right? We both got the same part so if you ever...

Ousuke: Oww

Student A: Ousuke, give up

Student B: Ever since joining the club Tsutsumin has never talked to you

Ousuke: Not true, he talked to me once!

Ousuke: He once told me to "Shut up"!

Student A: ...That's kinda sad.

Student B: Yeah.

Student A: But why does Tsutsumin hate Ousuke so much

Student B: cuz he is noisy

Ousuke: Rude!

Ousuke[thoughts]: And then

Page 11

Ousuke [thoughts]: While aiming for "Perfection", in order to not be influenced by pressure or tension

Ousuke [thoughts]: Meiryo incorporated a new mental training into their practice

Student B: Before practice, have a firm image of what you consider success and your ideals. Change the words you use to positive ones. Make convince your brain to think they are in the right.

Student B: Incorporate breathing exercises into your routine

Student B: It kinda sounds like something I've heard a million times before

Yot-chan-sensei: But you have never thought of them as training, right?

Page 12

Ousuke: Hey, this is just a suggestion but

Ousuke: What if we all did a daily debriefing? In front of everyone, we could say the things we achieved, and our next objectives.

Student: Daily debriefing...

Ousuke: That's right. By the way, I don't mean it as in "reflection points", but as in a "good points" debriefing!

Ousuke: We are all very serious so

Ousuke: Even if the day has been rough, you have to think of a good thing that happened. How about it?

Asano: ...That could be good

Student: Yeah, that could be motivating

Student: Ah, and how about after each person does their report, we praise them?

Student: That's good! hahaha

Student: Let's do it, let's do it!

Page 13

Asano: Thank you, Ousuke

Ousuke: Eh?

Asano: You gave a lot of suggestions

Asano: To tell you the truth, ever since I became the club president

Asano: I have been thinking about how to beat Ichiei. I just kept wondering how could we take first place this time around

Ousuke[thoughts]: Yeah, I know

Asano: But, I didn't know what to do, and I started getting anxious

Ousuke[thoughts]: I also know that.

Ousuke[thoughts]: After the Nationals, you beat yourself up because you "Wanted to give the senpais the first place before they left"

Ousuke[thoughts]: And this year you kept thinking about how to give that first place to the guys now.

Page 14

Asano: So, thank you for helping me by paving the way!

Asano: The atmosphere in the club is really good now, and I'm also getting super excited!

Asano: I'm really thankful

Asano: ...Well, I haven't done much as the club president, though...

Ousuke: Asa-chan, as long as you keep smiling like that, it's enough

Asano: Woah, you have no expectations of me

Ousuke: That's not what I meant

Page 15

Ousuke: If Asa-chan smiles, I know I'll be okay no matter what.

Asano: There you go again, saying suave things

Ousuke: I'm tellin' the truth

Ousuke: When Asa-chan smiles, the club and the world are happy

Asano: The world...

Ousuke: My world♡

Asano: Yeah yeah

Page 16

Yot-chan-sensei [thoughts]: ...Amazing

Yot-chan-sensei [thoughts]: They were all really good, to begin with, but they are improving faster than usual.

Yot-chan-sensei [thoughts]: The mental training, song selection, the hurdle of "Perfection". It all seems to be a perfect fit

Yot-chan-sensei [thoughts]: ... As expected, he saw it well

Page 17

Ousuke: ...

Ousuke: Oh? Kou-chan, are you staying late again?

Kou-chan: Ousuke

Ousuke: Doing some self-practice?

Ousuke: You should've called me, don't be lonely ♡

Kou-chan: You are a hindrance, I'm going home

Ousuke: Come on, don't be like that♪ I will also practice so let's play together

Kou-chan: Eh- wai-

Ousuke: You were already practicing on your own, it will be better if you play with other parts

Page 18

Ousuke: This is also your first time as part leader.

Ousuke: Because of what I said about "Perfection" and mental training

Ousuke: I might've made it difficult for you to say the things that make you weak or worry you.

Ousuke: But those are things you can dump over, you know

Ousuke: Kou-chan, you have a strong sense of responsibility so you won't rely on me, right?

Ousuke: I'm going to cry

Page 19

Kou-chan: ... I think you... might've noticed already but

Kou-chan: The rests are... not sweet or precise enough

Ousuke: Yeah, let's try and do it together

Ousuke: Oh! Tsutsumin!

Ousuke: What is it?

Ousuke: Did you perhaps forget somethi--

Page 20

Ousuke: Eh-

Ousuke: ? What did he want?

Kou-chan: Ah

Kou-chan: Ousuke, could that be---

Ousuke: Tsutsumin, could it be that you were looking for this before?

Page 21

Ousuke: I think you dropped it in the club room--

Ousuke: Mmmm--.... I usually ignore these kinds of things and don't pry but...

Page 22

Ousuke: Tsutsumin

Ousuke: Why do you hate me so much?

Ousuke: I mean, I get it? If it's that you are not good at dealing with people like me, or that you can't tolerate me on a physiological level, then I guess it can't be helped

Ousuke: But we are going to Nationals, so can't we talk about this normally?

Ousuke: We aren't children

Tsutsumin: Ugh...

Ousuke: If I've done something to make you unhappy, then just say so.

Page 23

Tsutsumin: ...Hah...

Tsutsumin: There was a guy just like you in my club in Middle School

Ousuke: Middle School?

Tsutsumin: I was in the brass band, though

Tsutsumin: He was a flirt, but also really talented. He was the mood-maker type of guy.

Tsutsumin: I was not good at dealing with him, but I didn't hate him

Tsutsumin: But then he started fooling around with many of the girls of the club

Tsutsumin: And the club started getting messier and messier

Page 24

Tsutsumin: Just before an important competition, the club was in shambles. And the performance was a complete disaster!

Tsutsumin: I... All the club members practiced really hard. But because of just one person...

Ousuke: But that's not me

Ousuke: You can dump the hate you got for that guy on me, but could you not put me in the same bag as him?

Tsutsumin: You are exactly the same!!

Page 25

Tsutsumin: Ugh... what's with "We will take first place this time" or "The perfect performance". You just want to flirt with all kinds of girls

Tsutsumin: If you want to play around with girls, do it elsewhere. We are taking the club seriously here!!

Tsutsumin: Ugh----- I'm tired of things getting ruined

Asano[memories]: Ouuuuusukeeee-kuuuun!!

Asano[memories]: It's okay!

Asano[memories]: It's gonna be really fun!

Asano[memories]: Tada-- Koto lessons!!

Page 26

Asano[memories]: Ousuke-kun, this way we can play together!!!

Ousuke: There's no way I would ruin it.

Tsutsumin: Eh...

Page 27

Ousuke: I'm not going to ruin it

Ousuke[thoughts]: In this bright-colored world Asa-chan brought me

Ousuke[thoughts]: I only wish for a future

Page 28

Ousuke[thoughts]: Where Asa-chan

Ousuke[thoughts]: Is smiling by my side

Ousuke[thoughts]: So

Page 29

Ousuke: We can bet on it

Ousuke: Until the competition

Ousuke: Not a single problem will happen.

Ousuke: In layman's terms, this will be the first and last time.

Ousuke: From now on, Meiryo will practice steadily

Ousuke: There will be no trouble

Ousuke: We will arrive in the best condition and

Ousuke: Deliver the perfect performance

Page 30

Ousuke[thoughts]: For that purpose, I will control everything

Ousuke[thoughts]: The entirety of the practices, the individual strengths, and weaknesses, as well as the human relationships

Ousuke[thoughts]: I'm not going to let anything get away from me, I'm going to crush all the uncertainties.

Page 31

Ousuke[thoughts]: All of it

Anime/mangalist: the hearts that break; the lessons it makes

All that I put here are more of a personal list; stories that speaks of life lessons to the heart. Stories that speak of learning from pain and all that life gives you. Stories that hurt but confront you; stories that break you and mend you. These are the stories I feel are still deserving of love, even after many years have past, just as some are relevant tales that's worth sharing nevertheless. All that I list are stories I think prove that stories can change your life; its just a matter of understanding its meaning. Some of these titles fall into the mature category, so do understand much of these titles have trigger warnings, so please research them properly before you jump straight in:
