| Tsuzuru | …. |
| (Looks like I can also use this plot here. And also…) |
| --Ah. The press conference is today. |
| (I think it's starting at 7 o'clock. There's still time but…) |
| …. |
| (No, I'm too nervous about it so I can't concentrate, let's take a break for today) |
| |
| Announcer | "The long awaited representative announcement starts 7 o'clock!" |
| Azami | They're stretching it too much. |
| Omi | This thrill is nice though. |
| Citron | It's soon time to sound the voodoo! |
| Tsuzuru | It's called a vuvuzela. And also, you play it only during a match. |
| Tasuku | So you too were curious about the announcement after all, Minagi. |
| Tsuzuru | Well, of course. |
| Banri | What's going on, a soccer club meeting? |
| Omi | Welcome home. |
| Citron | Welcome. |
| Tsuzuru | They're going to announce the Japanese representatives for the World Cup soon. |
| Banri | Ah, I see. |
| Ah, that's right. About the futsal tournament, I really do have different business on that day. I can't make it. My bad. |
| Omi | So you really can't come. |
| Tasuku | I see, can't be helped. |
| Azami | Banri-san not coming is really a hard blow. |
| Citron | I can yelp! |
| Tsuzuru | Help. Citron-san, have you ever played soccer? |
| Citron | Of course! The kicking ball sports. |
| Omi | Yeah, that's it. |
| Azami | So he has actually played it. |
| Citron | Everyone in the team form a circle and keep kicking! |
| Tasuku | Righ-, wait, a circle…? |
| Tsuzuru | Are you talking about kemari!?[1] |
| Citron | I can participate in futsal tournament! |
| Azami | No, it's fine. |
| Omi | I'll teach you the rules some other time, so join our practice. |
| Tsuzuru | Banri can't come, so who can we ask? |
| Tasuku | Someone who has played soccer before, and might be good at it… |
| Omi | If it's athletic abilities, I think Juza would do. He's fast too. |
| Azami | If it's just running and shooting it might work, but I feel he would suck at passing. |
| Tsuzuru | True… |
| Banri | It's absolutely impossible for him. |
| What about Masumi? Guy-san also might able be to do it no problem. He has stamina too. |
| Tsuzuru | I don't think Masumi would act if it has nothing to do with Director. |
| Azami | Guy-san might work. |
| Citron | Chikage is skilled too. |
| Tasuku | That's true. |
| Tsuzuru | Though, I'm not sure he would put his heart into it… |
| Banri | I can't imagine him playing soccer genuinely. |
| Azami | What about Misumi-san, or Hisoka-san? |
| Tsuzuru | If we prepare lots of triangles and marshmallows it might work. |
| Tasuku | Compensation-wise, Guy-san is the best option. |
| Citron | I can't help but Guy can, I can't agree to that. |
| Omi | Oh right, if Citron has never played soccer, then Guy-san too… |
| Azami | It's possible he hasn't either. |
| Tsuzuru | Whoever we choose, there are cons and pros. |
| Tasuku | That's difficult. |
| Announcer | "The press conference is finally starting!" |
| Omi | Ah, it's starting. |
| Azami | On these occasions, won’t the members let their families know beforehand? |
| Tsuzuru | Seems like they can't since it's confidential. I think that this very moment my family also watches the TV at home. |
| Azami | Ohh. |
| Announcer | "Coach Blanco has entered the conference room!" |
| Citron | They're announcing it! |
| *Bzzt bzzt* |
| Tsuzuru | --. |
| Banri | Isn't it your phone? |
| Tsuzuru | It's an unknown number. Who can it be… |
| Tasuku | It keeps on ringing. |
| Tsuzuru | …I'll answer it. |
| |
| --Hello. |
| ??? | "Hello, Tsuzuru?" |
| Tsuzuru | Eh? Big bro? |
| Meguru | "My bad. You couldn't see the number right. I'm calling from a public phone" |
| Tsuzuru | Huh? A public phone, why… rather, where are you calling from… |
| Meguru | "I think I'm somewhere close to the dorms, but I've been there only once so I got lost" |
| Tsuzuru | Close to the dorms, like close to our dorms!? |
| Meguru | "Right. I forgot my phone, good thing I remember your number" |
| Tsuzuru | No, that's not the problem here. Why at such an important time--. |
| Meguru | "I can see a building that looks like a post office, can you come pick me up?" |
| Tsuzuru | Like I was saying, why are you there in such an important time… |
| Citron | …Oh…. |
| Azami | …no way… |
| Tasuku | ….That's unexpected… |
| Tsuzuru | --. |
| Meguru | "Tsuzuru?" |
| Tsuzuru | Got it. I'm coming right away. |
| Meguru | "…thanks" |
| |
| … |
| Tsuzuru | Big bro… |
| Meguru | Sorry about that. |
| Tsuzuru | What are you doing… |
| Meguru | I wasn't chosen for the national team. |
| Tsuzuru | --. |
| Meguru | Hey, Tsuzuru, I… |
| I'm thinking about quitting soccer. |
| Tsuzuru | Eh… |
| |
| Mizuno | …. |
| Reporter | "Coach Blanco--!" |
| Chairman | "If you have a question please raise your hand" |
| Reporter | "Please tell us why Minagi, who was considered a prominent candidate, didn't make it—" |
| Interpreter | "Minagi is a player with the power to fight on the international stage. We've been struggling to decide, but after the training camp and the goodwill matches we chose another player" |
| Mizuno | Meguru-san... |
