| Tsuzuru | You're switching positions to a DF? Now? |
| Meguru | Yeah, some real skilled rookies have joined our team this year, and the fight for the FW position is harsh. |
| Even though I've been a regular since my first year~. |
| Tsuzuru | Did your coach tell you to switch? |
| Meguru | No, I asked for it myself. |
| Tsuzuru | So what was it about becoming the best FW in Japan? |
| Meguru | …I want to keep playing soccer, see. |
| Overseas too, there're many professional players who converted to different positions successfully. |
| In practice matches I've been told being a DF fits me, so I'm gonna do my best. |
| Tsuzuru | …. |
| Meguru | I'm thinking about skipping university once I graduate, and go on to become a trainee in a club team. |
| If I convert to a DF, this door will surely open for me. |
| I will get a contract as soon as possible, earn money, and make your life easier. |
| Tsuzuru | --I don't care about all that. Once I get into high school I'm gonna work nonstop anyway. |
| Meguru | If you don't study you're going to fail your entrance exams you know. |
| Tsuzuru | I don't have any plans of going to university. |
| Meguru | No, you have to go! |
| Tsuzuru | --. |
| Meguru | Go to university. |
| Tsuzuru | I won't be going. |
| Meguru | You’re definitely going. |
| Tsuzuru | --where did it come from suddenly. |
| Meguru | Your dream is to become a playwright right? If you want to become one, you have to study a bunch. |
| Don't worry about the money. You don’t have to work either. |
| I consulted with big bro, about how we must let you go to university, we talked about it with our parents too. |
| Tsuzuru | When did you… there're many writers who never went to university. |
| Meguru | Big bro and I, we've always pushed all the problems in home on you right. That's the least we can do for you. |
| Tsuzuru | --Don't do such selfish things! |
| You're just trying to make reparations for everything you did! Don't drag me into this self satisfaction of yours! |
| Meguru | --, hey, stop that! |
| Tsuzuru | You two are so selfish! |
| Meguru | --it hurts, hey, stop it Tsuzuru! |
| Tadoru | I'm back~, wait, what are you two doing. |
| Tsuzuru | --. |
| Tadoru | Here, calm down~. There there. |
| Tsuzuru | ….. |
| |
| In order to help our home situation, my brothers worked and earned money for us. |
| Meguru has been scouted for many universities too, but he chose to become a pro as soon as possible. |
| With the help of his coach from high school, he was able to join a B team as a DF… |
| I honestly think it's amazing he was able to get a contract not so long after he became a trainee. I understand it's the result of his effort too. |
| But, I still think that if back then, he was to accept an invitation from a university, he would've had a chance to become a FW again. |
| I think that maybe this chance was destroyed just because he wanted me to go to university… |
| Obviously, right now my brother is successful, and I'm grateful he gave me the opportunity to go to university. |
| I know that my brother is satisfied with the current situation too, but still it keeps bothering me. |
| Tasuku | So you think he might've sacrificed it all for you. |
| Tsuzuru | Yes. |
| …it's the first time I've ever told it to someone, so I'm a bit relieved. |
| Omi | I've always thought you and I are similar somehow, Tsuzuru. |
| There are many things I gave up, because I too thought I have to work hard for my family. |
| Our options might've been limited because of our household situations. But in this narrow path we were able to find many precious things. |
| Tsuzuru | …you're right. |
| Omi | You just can’t help but think about the future that could've been, right. |
| But the only thing we can do, is to treasure the "present" we have. |
| Tsuzuru | --. |
| Azami | You having a soccer club meeting? |
| That's perfect. I've been looking for you Tsuzuru-san. |
| Tsuzuru | For me? |
| Azami | I was talking to Meguru-san earlier. Even though he's such an amazing DF, he said he used to be a FW? |
| Omi | We've just heard this story now as well. |
| Azami | It was as if because he had switched to DF, there were ill feelings between you, so it has weighed on his mind a bit. |
| For now, how about you talk to him. |
| Tsuzuru | ...you're right. |
| Tasuku | --Minagi--. |
| *kicks* |
| Tsuzuru | --oops. Wait, why this ball all of a sudden… |
| Tasuku | Use it. |
| Tsuzuru | …alright. |
| |
| Meguru | ….zzz. |
| Tsuzuru | Hey… wake up. |
| Meguru | Hm…? Tsuzuru…? |
| Tsuzuru | Big bro, let's go play soccer. |
