Suguru: Nice weather today, huh?

\

sfx: pitter patter [K: running onomatopoeia XD I took his bare feet on the wooden floor]
Suguru: Mum, breakfast-
Mito: He looks really refreshed today.
And I was worried because it looked like he had a fight with Kake-nii last night...

\

Kakeru: Aaaaaaaahhhh~..

\

Kakeru: It can't move, the tyre burst...

Kakeru: Looks like I'll be late for morning practice...

Suguru: Want to hitch a ride behind?

\

\

Kakeru: You rarely do this sort of thing, Suguru...
Suguru: Really?

\

Suguru: Didn't I use to bring you to football practice like this all the time when we were kids?
Kakeru: .....oh yeah.
Suguru: See.

\

Kakeru: ...I'm sorry for yesterday.
When I suddenly blew up at you.

Suguru: ...It's nothing...

Suguru: ...Kakeru.
Suguru: I have something to say to you before club activities start.

\

Kakeru: Me too, Suguru.
Suguru: Hm?

\

Kakeru: I was going to wait until the activities finished...
Kakeru: But I just want to hurry up and say it now.

\

Kakeru: I... want to quit the football club.

------

(page46)

Kakeru: I guess that being a manager is pointless, to me.
Kakeru: I've only been half-serious, so I decided to quit completely.

\

Suguru: ....
...you're set on this?

Kakeru: Yes, I am.

\

Suguru: Is that so...
Kakeru: But I want you to try your best, Suguru.

\

Kakeru: You don't have to worry about me anymore.

(page47)

Kakeru: Get better and better, and become the playmaker for the national team.
Kakeru: I want you to shine like a king in the middle of the pitch.

\

Kakeru: I guess I just really like the way you play football, Suguru...
Suguru: The king of the pitch, huh...

\

Suguru: But Kakeru...

\

Suguru: It's impossible to win the battle
Leonardo: Japan needs a forward who can make the right decisions in the penalty area...
Suguru: if the king fights alone.

\

Kakeru: Suguru...

------

(page48-49)

Suguru: If the playmaker is the king of the pitch,
Suguru: then the striker is the "knight".

\

Suguru: I... no, Japanese football,
Suguru: needs someone who can receive a pass in the penalty area, and wrench open the mouth of the goal.

\

Suguru: We need a courageous "knight".

Suguru: A knight in the area.

------

(page50)

Kakeru: A knight in the area...
Kakeru: You're really awesome, Suguru.

\

Kakeru: There's only one year between us,
Kakeru: but I'm sure that in your mind, there's an image of you standing in the pitch of a World Cup stadium.

\

Kakeru: A knight in the area, huh... he definitely exists, somewhere in Japan.
A forward who can receive those magical passes of yours, and convert them to goals.

\

sfx: vrooom
Kakeru: ...I'm really sorry...

\

Kakeru: It doesn't matter if I'm a manager or trainer if we can...
sfx: wobble wobble
