Vol. 199 - The Normal Kawatou
1: Okay! Let's go say goodbye, everyone!
2: Yeaaaah!
3: Ahhhh...
4: That was their last chance...
5: B...but Kawakami swung!
6: clamor
7: H...he swung...was that a sign just now...?!
8: Kawakami...

68)
1: Alright, Aniya! Nice pitch!
2: Listen up, everyone! There's only a one point distance left!
3: Let's make this farewell go out right!
4: yeah!
5: Hm? What's wrong?
6: No...
7: I think Kawakami-kun really wanted to go out and hit from the beginning.
8: Even that intentional walk was surely painful to him.
9: What are you saying? The crowd kept booing him like that, so he had no choice but to
swing!
10: Yeah, he can't swing to begin with, anyway, so he was probably just told that he
didn't have to.
11: it's true that he doesn't really hit much, but...

69)
1: Nothing will begin unless the bat was swung -- and yet he wasn't even allowed to do
that much...
2: That kind of baseball seems a bit lonely to me.

70)
1: Let's just say that it's that system of management that's kept Sasazaki strong up until
now.
2: Players have no choice but to follow their orders.
3: It's normal, you know...
4: A normal thing.

71)
1-3: clamor clamor
4: What
5: is Kawakami doing?
6: clamor clamor
7: Uwahh, look at that...Kawakami and the coach can't even look at each other...
8: Did he really want to swing just now...? Well, he did was he was ordered to, but...
9: Kawakami.

72)
1: Ohh, he's finally come out!
2: Kawakami...
3: clamor
4: Huh? Sensei?

73)
1: Hm?
2: H...huh? Hold on, Kawatou-san!
3: Hey, you can't go out like that!
4: H...hey!
5: Uwah...that idiot...
6-7: clamor clamor

74)
1: "Stay true to the dreams of thy youth."
2: by F. von Schiller!
3: Good swing!

75)
1: Uwahh, what is that moron thinking...
2: Oh...oh no, this time...he can't be...
3: Uwaaaaah, he went insiiide!
4: How can he do things like that?!
5: Someone stop hiiiim!!
6: H...hey, you!

76)
1: It's been a little less than one year since I started seriously playing team sports.
2: Hey, stop it! Do you understand what you're doing..
3: I don't claim to completely understand baseball.
4: And a coach's order is most likely an absolute thing.
5: Wh...what?!
6: clamor
7: Nikogaku's coach is going over to start a fight!
8: And "winning is everything" may also be a valid viewpoint.
9: Good plays happen on top of various sacrifices, and that's how victories are
understood.
10: That's what "one for all" means.

77)
1: However!
2: Isn't that something the coach should along with the souls of his players?!
3: Why are you ignoring Kawakami-kun after he disobeyed your order?!
4: Coach Chiba!

78)
1: Don't you understand the feelings Kawakami-kun swung that bat with?!
2: S...sensei...
3: Please, listen to me!
4: Players always want to play to the best of their abilities!
5: For these once-in-a-lifetime moments!
6(2b): Your heart most likely burned as well, and you risked everything you had when you
were a player! Why can't you remember that now?!

79)
1: Did you ever think about what that man from the stands was shouting about Sasazaki
baseball?!
2: No, more importantly, have you ever thought about your player's feelings...?
3: clamor
4: S...sensei, that's enough! This is going to turn into a forfeited game!
5: He understands, you don't have to say that much!
6: Our Coach understands...

80)
1: The truth is...the Coach, he...
2: Kufoooh...sheesh...
3: Ku ku...

81)
1: Listen up! Nikogaku is going on the attack!
2: Keep fighting to the very last second!
3: That's all!
4: Alright, here we go!!
5: Gooooo! Nikogaku Goooooo!!
