*Chapter 8 : First Flight*



Page 73

-Hey Kuzu High!! Can you really play basketball!?
-Ooh... he's even bigger than Chiaki...
-You do know with the difference in height, you guys can't win, right!? No matter what you do!!
-What do these guys eat everyday?
*Here*
-It's like adults and kids!! Gyahaha

-And it's "that guy" isn't it!?
-Playing with a primary schooler!?
SFX: Chew Chew
-Gyahahaha!!

-It's him right? The "Omame-san" guy!! [T/L: Omame refers to beans/peas, implying he's tiny]
-Oh man...he's gonna play after all

-It'll be ok, for sure

-Y-you seem kinda tense...
SFX: You idiot
SFX: You're gonna die
-Coz until now, I've never had any experience in something like this...

-Hey shrimp, you've been in a basketball club before right?
Did you always get this kind of feeling in a match?
SFX: More curse words

SFX: Gulp
-...



Page 74

-I don't know
SFX: Teehee
-It's also my first time going into a match. Why?

-Ref, time out
-W... we haven't even started yet

-It's your first time in a game!?
What are you talking about at the last minute!?
-I'm not hearing you at all!!

-I-I always filled a vacancy in mini basketball
And we didn't have a basketball club in middle school...

-"Didn't have a basketball club"... in the whole school there wasn't even 10 students from a branch school
-No, there were 8 people
-Ah?



Page 75

-Instead of that
SFX: Dondon
-Let's hurry and start the game

-...
SFX: Teehee
SFX: Are you serious

*So it was coz of that...*
*Being fixated with the "Basketball Club"...*

-By the way Momoharu, do you remember when we talked about "that" yesterday?
SFX: Squeak
-Ah?
-Oh "that"

SFX: Smile

SFX: Smile

-A "Secret Plan"?...I wonder what they're going to do
SFX: I've got a bad feeling...



Page 76

SFX: Squeak squeak

SFX: Squeak
SFX: Oh?

SFX: Don't touch me
SFX: What are you looking at
SFX: Ah?

-Yo, we meet again
-For your information, it seems like what's in front of you is...

SFX: don don don don

-It seems like he's not listening
SFX: Squeak



Page 77

SFX: Squeak
-...

-!

-Hahaa I thought I've seen your face somewhere
You're his "younger brother" right
-You're still playing basketball huh...

-It's troublesome isn't it, babysitting kids
-Well you playing as No. 4 won't change your level

-However

-I just have something to teach that shrimp
SFX: Jump
-Basketball is all about "Height"!!



Page 78

SFX: Jump



Page 79

*What...the!?

*My height is 2 metres*
*And there's at least 10cm difference*

*A swift attack huh... it's a fairly good strategy but*

*Since you showed your drive once*
*You can't get rid of us that easily yo!!*

*Then come on*



Page 80

SFX: Shoots
*Eeeh!?

-From the half-line
-3 Points!?

-What's with that shrimp suddenly throwing the game away!?
-Hey play seriously!!

*Is he an idiot...*
*It can't go in from that far out, can it...*

-Sink it in, shorty!!
-Is there no substitute player?



Page 81

SFX: Whoosh

SFX: Scatter
SFX: Squeak

-...!!
-It... it went in...

-Sora-kun...

-Hey hey
-Are you serious...!?



Page 82

-...

-If you make fun of me being small
SFX: Swish
-You'll have to pay for it!!



Page 83

-That runt is screwing with us!!
-Hey you, I'm gonna smash you up good!!

-Saying that much to Chiba-san, he's not gonna put up with that
-It was a fluke, a fluke!
Geez, what are they thinking?
He's an idiot, that guy...

-...
-You guys are the idiots
SFX: Squeak
-Eh?

-What does that mean?
-The first shot being decided means that
It is essential for the team to create a "wave" afterward

-Moreover from that range, it's a super long-shoot
-There are only a few players so it's unsettling, they can't play like they usually do

*Psychological warfare is a perfectly suitable strategy, however...*
*It wasn't what he was aiming for...!!*



Page 84

*You two...*
*Are amazing!!*

-Hah hahaha it went in...
It's the first time it went in from a place like that...
-...I also didn't think that we could win with my Jump Ball

*They probably haven't thought that about it to that extent*

-So, after this what should we do?
SFX: Scratch Scratch
-Aah that's a good question...
*Is that all the "secret plan" is!?*

-Whether it was a fluke of actual ability, 1 shot is 1 shot
SFX: Bounce
-So pull yourselves together and let's go!!

-One shot for us too
SFX: Squeak



Page 85

-As always..
SFX: Ball got swiped

-...?
-...!!

-Nice Chucky!! [T/L: His name is actually "Chucky", I incorrectly named him "Chatsuki" in the previous chapter because the characters were hard to see, but it's clear here]
SFX: Running
-Did that happen? That just happened didn't it!?

-Get a hold of yourself, man
SFX: Squeak
-Why does it have to be a guy like this...

SFX: Pass

-Cheh
SFX: Catch
SFX: Pass

-Somehow, those guys...
SFX: Catch
-Don't you think their passes actually aren't that good?
SFX: Catch
-Is this really basketball...



Page 86

-I'll tell you
-Madoka?

-It's because those guys
SFX: We can't dribble and stuff like that
-How should I put it

-"It's better to not do things that we can't do"
-That's why, when they get the ball they quickly "pass" it

-Here, Shorty
SFX: Catch
SFX: Squeak

SFX: Squeak

*That again*
SFX: Squeak
*Decided with one shot*



Page 87

SFX; Squeak

*A fake!!*
-Damn..

SFX: Bounce



Page 88

SFX: Shoots

-Wha..!?
SFX: Ball goes in

-That runt did it again...
SFX: Rustle
-Seriously!?

-3 Points
-2 shots in a row...!!



Page 89

-"2/2" huh...
-That's a good number, don't you think Tokiwa?

-What that shrimp said was right
-We'll pay for making fun of him huh?

-Well, a shrimp is a shrimp after all right!!
SFX: Scruffle
SFX: Gahaha
SFX: Squeak
-...

-That was great, shorty!!
SFX: Hard Pat
-As a reward we'll treat you to a melon pastry!!

*Heh he's such a big deal now*

-2 times in a row is not just a casual fluke, you fool!!
-What did you say, you bastard, let's see you try to say that one more time!!
-W... we're in the middle of a game guys...



Page 90

*By shooting 1000 shots a day, you*
*Didn't get to "2/2" but a fluke, did you Sora-kun...*

-Now, with this attitude let's go, headstrong!!
-Alriiiiight!!

*A little strange story*

*The drawing below is from chapter 6 (page 51) last panel. [T/L: Page 28 in the release]
"What's so strange", is that I drew it but I don't remember doing so.
But this is what it is. Maru High is a boys school in the city, and in spite of that
There's a girl in a sailor suit. A guy who's wearing sunglasses that looks like a spy and
A guy who has an eyepatch that looks like a pirate are also there. What's with that?
They look somewhat like a party of people.*

*Well this time the oh-so-loved manga will be published at a weekly pace with an increase in pages of letters
and will continue to be quite a physical and emotional time...
The drawing is just a copy, when I looked at it in the morning I realised it seemed like it had been completed...
The Manga God definitely had to be the one who drew it right.*

*...The Manga God is also
not that great huh.*
