Tsuzuru | Recently the boys from the soccer club invite me to play with them on break time. |
| Today we played too, and I managed to shoot. |
Meguru | That's amazing. |
Tsuzuru | It's because you're teaching me. |
Meguru | I told you you've got a talent for it right. You're my brother after all. |
Tsuzuru | Sure sure. |
Meguru | But once I enroll to junior high, I'll be busy with club activities, and I probably won't be able to teach you much. |
| The soccer club of that middle school is strong, but I heard the training there is harsh. |
Tsuzuru | I see… |
Meguru | I'm happy to have you Tsuzuru. |
| Our big brother doesn't like sports, we have different interests. And Kaoru has a weak body right. Tsuzuru is the only one I can play soccer with. |
| On weekends, or when I have days off from the club, let's play soccer together. |
Tsuzuru | Forget about me, just work hard in your club. |
Meguru | …yeah. Thank you. |
Tsuzuru | --. |
Meguru | Tsuzuru is going to the center! He passes it to Meguru… |
| Goal! It's a hat trick for Meguru! |
Tsuzuru | For real? You're doing your own live coverage? |
Meguru | Hey, don’t make fun of me! Someday, I will really make a goal in the World Cup! |
Tsuzuru | Sure sure. |
| |
Sakuya | I've brought your futon! |
Masumi | Then, I'll be going. |
Meguru | Sorry for taking your bed… |
Masumi | I don't mind. |
Citron | Once in a while it's nice sleeping with Sakuya and Masumi, with no outsiders! |
Tsuzuru | This phrase would work better for us brothers right. |
Sakuya | Then, goodnight! |
Citron | Goodnight! |
Tsuzuru | Big bro, I laid out the futon. |
Meguru | …they won't ask anything huh. |
Tsuzuru | Well, it happens from time to time, people coming to stay here like that. |
Meguru | Is that so. |
Tsuzuru | But it's time you tell me what happened don’t you think. |
Meguru | …. |
| They told me I wasn’t chosen for the national team… |
| I told my wife, who has supported me until now with food and so on, to go back to her parents' and take it easy for a while. |
| I was home alone, and when the time for the press conference got closer, I just couldn’t sit still, see. |
| Tsuzuru's face popped in my head, and I ended up here. |
| Dad and the rest of the family really expected things from me right. It's tough for me to go back to their place. |
| Sorry for imposing on you so suddenly. |
Tsuzuru | I don't mind but… |
| Are you serious about giving up on becoming a soccer player? |
Meguru | …I've worked so hard until now with my eyes set on the upcoming World Cup. |
| I was stretching around a string and it snapped, it's this kinda feeling. |
Tsuzuru | Stretching around[1]? You meant you strained it right. |
Meguru | Haha, exactly. |
Tsuzuru | But you can still make it to the next World Cup in four years, age-wise. |
Meguru | Well yeah. But can I work hard again with the same feeling as before? I'm not confident about it. |
| It's not like I hate soccer now, so I thought about becoming a soccer coach for kids. |
Tsuzuru | But that's still… |
Meguru | It's time we go to bed. |
| Can you explain it to Director and everyone else? They're probably worried about it. |
Tsuzuru | …got it. |
| |
| …and that's the story, so is it okay for him to stay in my room for a while? |
| Seems like he got a vacation from his team. |
Izumi | Of course, I don't mind but… is Meguru-san okay? |
Tsuzuru | I think that if he rests, his feeling will change. |
Izumi | Is that so… |
Tasuku | …. |
Itaru | Is Meguru-san staying again for a while? |
Tsuzuru | Yes, it might be troublesome, but please take care of us. |
