Yamada and Kase-san ch52: Pedestrian Crossing and Kase-san

Drive Safely

Going to get their driving license together♪

November, when autumn has fully settled in...
You won't believe it,
but I've started going to driving school!

...Okay, good job. Very well done.

slame

I'll see you next week.
Thank you very much!

Driving school is fun.
It's like a little town filled with roads.
Having only just started, there's a lot I have to learn.

A license is essential for gardeners.
Haha
Hrm...
I'll definitely get my license!!
Yamada~!

Have you just finished practice, Yamada?
I just got her myself!
Let's take the theory course together<3

Kase-san!
That's right.

Kase-san is taking it with me.

Eh?
A driver's license?

Yeah.
It's best for those working in gardening to have a car license.
That's what the Flower Prince said anyway...
Hrm.

No way! Driving a car is dangerous, y'know?
You can't even ride a bicycle, Yamada.
That bastard.

scrunch

It'll be fine~
You sure are overprotective~

Not to mention driving schools have you get alone in a cramped space with some old man instructor, right?
That's no good~!
Eh? That's your issue?

When I get my license, let's go for a drive!
I wanna rent a car and travel somewhere with you, Kase-san!
It'll definitely be fun!

Urk

Uuh
Hmm...

Okay!
In that case, I'll go to this driving school too!

slap

I always thought about getting a motorbike license someday.
I should have some time free after my tournament in November!
Really?

beam

Yay~!
Let's do our best~!
Y-...
Yeah!!
And so
we went there together!

As for what a driving school entails...
Enrollment followed by an aptitude test

Theory and driving practice at the school
Provisional license exam
Pass
Studying theory at the school
Driving practice on the road
Main license exam (Theory and Practical)
Pass
GOAL!
License obtained
That's quite a lot.

It was pretty pricey even with the student discount!
I had to take out a loan too!
There's no going back now!
Hrm...
This is a critical moment!!

But
if I can get a license, I'll be one step closer to having a job as a gardener.
And a step closer to the UK too.
I'll be able to take a drive with Kase-san any time I want too!
It's one good thing after another!

What're you smirking about?
Eh?
HAh

Nothing.
Just thinking about where we should drive to.
Someone's eager, I see~!

The classroom's over there.
Classroom 1.

?
What is it?
Nothing.
It's just strange.

Being at the same school with you,
feels strange.

giggle

Aha.
Same here!

Students for both cars and two-wheeled vechiles take theory practice together.

The lessons are 50 minutes
and teach you a lot about traffic.
It takes teaching more seriously than I expected.
There's a lot of different signs...

p10

Hey now!

whisper

You need to listen to the lesson properly!

chuckle

I can't believe I'm studying with Kase-san again.
It's been ages.

This is really, really fun...

p11

Well then, I'm heading to my practical lesson.
Yeah. I'll be waiting for you.

The pedestrian crossing we cross while taking training.

It's nervewracking when I go
and relieving when I come back.

Erm, the steps to start the engine are...

Reviewing

Step down on the brakes,
make sure the shift lever is at "P"...

I got a warning today.
"Don't be too hasty, Yamada-san. Go more slowly."
I was trying to go slowly.
I guess I was hasty because I want my license as soon as possible.

p12

Ah, it's Kase-san.

Ooh~

2nd floor

Hold on.

She's incredibly cool!
Putting Kase-san on a bike is definitely the correct choice!!

CORRECT

p13

Phew

clap clap clap clap

Awesome!
That was awesome!

...

Hey~ What's with the applause?
That's embarrassing.

Good work today~
I was watching from above!
I know.
You were so cool!

Nah, they only thing I was taught today was how to right the bike...
It was nothing...
It was still cool, though!
R-Really?

p14

vrooom~

Y'know,
driving school is really fun!
I wanna go here forever!

Won't it be a problem if you don't get your license?
What are you saying?
Fufu

It may be a driving school, but I never thought I'd get to go to school with you again, Kase-san.
It's like a dream come true.

p15

It made me think, "maybe this is what everyday would be like if I had gone
to the same college as you".
It's really fun!

I was also

thinking the same thing!

giggle

Going to school together is great!
Riding home on the bus together was awesome too.

p16

Corporation Tonbo

Left turn!
Winker!
Click click click
Now turning!

You're practising at home too?
You sure are enthusiastic.

I'm not athletic like you are, Kase-san,
so I need to practice and review.

I knew nothing about cars before.
I always thought the winkers just came on automatically when they turned!
Here I thought it was some amazing function, when actually you have to turn them on yourself.

Did you know that, Kase-san?
...Yeah, I knew.

Y'know~ I wanna drive a light truck.

p17

I rode in the horticulture club president's truck the other day.
It could carry so much luggage.
It's really convenient!
So you admire trucks, huh?

You're amazing, Yamada.
Making sure you have the proper qualifications for the sake of your future...

Nah.
It's not that amazing.
But I want to do what I can while I still can.
I'd like to get into a career in gardening if possible...

It's the only thing I have, y'know?

What about you, Kase-san?
Eh?
Me?
What kind of careers do athletes have?

p18

There's a bunch.
You could join a sport brand,
and maybe the police... or a civil servant?
You could also get a job in something completely unrelated.
Heh...

As for me...
I haven't really thought about it yet.
For now, I'm happy enough to just run,
so I'd like to keep that up if possible...

poke

But that's a long way off.
I'll probably just work somewhere that's close to you, Yamada<3
Ahaha

Kase-san...

p19

If I buy a motorbike, do you wanna ride with me, Yamada?
Eh?

Hmm, that sounds kinda scary.
You should ride in my car, Kase-san.

In the light truck?
Yeah, the light truck!

Well, we need to get our licenses first, though!

giggle

Yeah. Let's do our best!

I want my driving license as soon as possible...

p20

Today, the two of us met up for training yet again.

We rode the bus together too<3
Hooray♪

Okay, see you later!
Do your best!

p21

I'll be in your care!

shut

Okay, when you're ready, Yamada-san.

Okay, today, we'll be taking a lap around the grounds.
Erm, well then...

vroom...
squeeeeel

p22

VROOOM

squeel

Yamada-san! Yamada-san! Too fast!
Go slower!

Yamada went flying.
