40.5 translation- Higa, school information (p.208-211)

Jan 28, 2010 22:38

Translation of the information on Higa Chuu (the school in general, not just the tennis club) from 40.5. Written to sound like a prospectus of the school, I think.

Corrections are appreciated, as usual. Credit goes to Pickle Press for the scans (and thanks to snipergys , who uploaded them). F-list, sorry for spamming 40.5 translations. orz

Discover Higa Chuu!

An effort to make Higa Chuu's charm known for those of you who will become a member of Higa Chuu next year!

Private school Higa Chuu

- Full number of students: 545 (372 boys, 173 girls)
- Site area: 32687 metres square           - Founded: 1976

Discover: Campus facilities

The school building where Higa Chuu students study and compete together is a wonderland filled with dreams and thrills! If you spend time there, every day is a series of discoveries!




Check: School building

The special classrooms are also really good!

- Music room                 - Library room
- Chemistry analysis room       - Isolation cell [1]
- Meditation room                - Arts room
- Broadcasting room      - Dark room         - Projection room

In this structure that existed several hundreds of years ago and was converted into Higa Chuu's school building, there are many hidden rooms and facilities that even teachers don't know about! Maybe you'll be the one to make these secrets known!

[1]: Got to wonder whether I've translated this properly. ;

Check: Door to a basement

A door to a basement made long ago?! What could be in this unopened room?!

The mysterious basement, closed with a heavy and bulky metal door. Up until now, many people boasting of their strength have attempted to open it, but it's been said that it hasn't moved an inch... What's behind the door is one of Higa Chuu's greatest mysteries even now.

Kai: 'That it was entered is the talk of the students'

Because we saw the door open the other day, we got fired up! But the room inside just looked like a storeroom, and was only full of cola rafties and ice cream.

[p. 209]

Check: Tennis courts

The team of elites who accomplished participation in the Nationals was born here!

The tennis courts, soaked in sweat, blood, and tears, of the tennis team who accomplished the brilliant achievement of participating in the Nationals! In this past year, it's as if there hasn't been a day when you couldn't hear the roars and screams of fighting spirit from the courts!

[Congratulations from the fans!]

2nd year/ 'Hopes to remain anonymous'

'That kind of thing, isn't it torture rather than working you hard?! I feel glad from the bottom of my heart that I left the tennis club.'

OB/ Shuu Kinjou

'You really endured that Coach Saotome's working you hard until the end?! I really respect that...'

Student Council head/ Shouichi Kushiken

'We're deeply proud of everyone standing on the national stage as the representative of our school- no, the Kyuushuu region.'

Check: Mechanical connecting pathway

If you can't use 'Shukuchi' to cross it, it's bad!




In the pathway continuing on from the supplies room, a large hole reaching about 6 metres width and 10 metres deep has opened! It's impossible for normal students to cross it, but now, because there's a connecting corridor on the second floor, there's no problem when you want to pass it.

[p.210]

Discover: Campus Life

Yearly functions full of variety, school food with a line of menus that get full marks for nutrition. And then, after school, there are many hip spots you can go on to! If you become a Higa Chuu student, dazzling days await you!

Check: Uniform

Girls: The skirt's line is a point. Because it's not that cold in the winter, there isn't much difference between the two.

Boys: The summer uniform is simple whilst being friendly. The winter uniform is made out of linen and has a light feel to it.

Check: Food

Higa's original menu is popular!

Whatever you say about the appeal of school food, the students' requests reflect that nothing meets the many requests for the original menu. If you eat it once, you get addicted to it, and repeat customers soon appear one after the other!

Enrolled students' questionnaire: top 5 popular menus

1st place: Higa soba
2nd place: Assorted gouya DX (deluxe)

With seasoned rice and gouya mixed with gouya chanpuru, and then with gouya juice, it's literally an assorted gouya set meal.

Kite: 'The sweetness that lurks in youth is the very flavour of life. Because there's nothing that contains as much vitamin C and the like as gouya, it has a strongly nourishing effect, and can even prevent heat fatigue'.

3rd place: Mimigaa (pig's ear) set lunch
4th place: Goat soup set
5th place: Smoked chiragaa (pig's face) bentou

An extra-large bentou of a large amount of pig's face skin, pickled in a secret sauce and smoked, completely covering a serving of freshly-cooked rice!

Shiranui: 'In the stingingly spicy secret sauce, this goes really well with white rice. When I look closely at the pig's face, I'm glad if I somehow feel that I can understand it.' [2]

[2]: Not really sure about this. ;

Check: Extracurricular activities

With your special talent, you could also become the campus' hero!

Because yearly functions span many things, from sports, drama, and music to study meetings, your chance to be a hero to students could come around! Show your special talent to the whole school!

An example of main extracurricular activities

April: Okinawan history study meeting
May: Excursion
June: Beginning of the swimming season
July: English drama contest

Last year's winner
Tomoya Shiranui-kun:

'I did a Shakespeare drama, but because it was classical English, it was quite difficult. Laboriously remembering the words and pronunciation everyday was the cause of my victory.'

September: Typhoon shelter training
October: 3-way school competition

Three schools from the city Higa Chuu is in meet in one hall, and compete in a traditional battle of various fields of sports, arts, and so on!

Tanishi: 'In the speed-eating competition, it's been my overwhelming victory for the past two years! This year, I'll also seize victory!'

November: Higa festival
January: Courtesy visit to an old people's home
February: Intra-school full marathon competition

Check: After 5

True campus life is from 5 onwards?!

Because Higa Chuu is caught between the sea and the mountains and close to town, there's also a lot of fun to be had after school! Going straight home afterwards is a waste! From here on, real Higa Chuu life starts!




Beach:

Street dancers and musicians!

At the beach after evening, individual musicians and dancers gather, and every day is a party-like state! If you gather up your courage, you can also try to make your debut!

Rin: 'With both people with great ability and normal people there, it's seriously cool! Recently, I've also been going dancing with those guys.'

Sasebo Burger:

Because they're not made in advance, they get full marks for freshness and volume! Moreover, because Higa Chuu students get 20% off, the shop is always practically full of them!

[ With this, you're also an expert on Higa Chuu! We look forward to meeting you next year! ]
