95th Quarter: Then let’s make one

Photo: Seirin Basketball Team Formed!!

B1: Kagami-kun?

{ This is… a picture taken when the basketball team was formed. }
{ Well, it’s only a year old… }
{ Now that I think about it, it’s a pretty amazing story… }


Page 03
{ On the year the team was formed, they became one of the 4 best teams in the Tokyo region. }
{ Even in the newcomers' league, they qualified for the Kantou Competition } #new-comer’s league? Was there such a thing? Or is it going to come up… [Weird.]
{ I don’t know the details, but normally, it’s not easy for a new team to do so well…}

B1: Mm? // There’s one more photo…

B1: !? #LOLLL guess who~

B1: What are you looking at?
B2: Kuroko… do you know who he is?

B1: ?
B2: …No.

B1: That’s me!
B2: Eh?


Page 04
B1: Everyone left already.
B2: It’s getting late, so don’t stay too long.

B1: Ah, // yeah.
B2: No… eh? What did you just say…? // This photo…
B3: I told you,

B1: that’s me. // M-E!

B1: …!?

B1: Hahaha! Wha… this… hahaha!
B2: It’s so bad…! // Moreover, it looks totally lame!! #even Kuroko’s laughing
B3: Out, get out! I’ll kick your ass! #or “I’ll kick your ass!”


Page 05
B1: Hmm…

B1: Last year’s photo, huh. // I'm surprised you managed to find it. # or ”How did you manage to find such a thing?”

B1: Captain, did you start playing basketball in high school?
B2: No, but… why?
B3: You, in that photo... // pfff!
B4: How long are you planning to laugh!?

B1: Izuki, Mitobe and I have been playing since middle school.
{ {I guess he doesn't look like someone who’s been playing basketball!} #ya think?

[The "Guess" doesn't make sense to me.]
B2: Koga and Tsuchida started in high school.

B1: …

B1: Captain… can I ask you one more thing?
B2: Mm?


Page 06
B1: The rumor that this year’s the end for Kiyoshi-senpai…
B2: What’s that that suppose to mean?

B1: …Ah...

B1: … // I see,

B1: you’ve been listening… // then it can’t be helped.


Page 07
B1: It’s about last year…
B2: Well, looking at his condition, // you guys would have noticed it eventually, so we were planning to let you guys know too.

B1: Let’s see… // I guess I’ll use this opportunity
B2: to tell you everything. #ooo storytime~

{ -----One year ago, Spring }
B1: He~y, Hyuga! // Hyuga!!


Page 08
B1: Aah? #YANKEEEEE
B2: I heard you already. Shut up!
BOX: Hyuga Junpei // 1st year | Age 15

B1: Izuki
B2: Yo, // we’re in the same class again. // …Fu!
BOX: Izuki Shun // 1st Year | Age 15

B1: Ahahaha, sorry… I can’t help it!
B2: Wha- what’s so funny!? #u really don’t know?
B3: It’s so weird, Hyuga!

B1: Suddenly dyeing your hair blonde the moment you got into high school…

// It doesn’t look basketball-like at all!
B2: …Of course.


Page 09
B1: I quit basketball!
B2: It's just full of pain, and it's no fun at all!

B1: I’m gonna seize this school and take the top!
< BANG! >
B2: There aren’t those sorts of people in this school.

{ If you wanted to fight, you should’ve gone to a different school.}
{ Stupid… if I went to someplace serious, I would die! }
{ Wow- so weak! }

B1: …Anyway

B1: Jokes aside, you look really lame, Hyuga.
B2: During middle school, you were so into it // that you never skipped any practices.

B1: And what was the result?


Page 10
B1: In the end, we never
B2: managed to earn a single victory.

B1: The guys who beat us lost in the second round.
B2: Even the guys who beat them lost in the third round.

B1: Like that, even the ones who managed to desperately survive till the end
B2: just ended up losing to Teikou with a double score at the final championship.

B1: That’s reality.

B1: If you work hard, you’ll be rewarded? // Who’s the fool that said such pretty words?
B2: In the end, an ordinary person’s efforts are just a waste of time.


Page 11
B1: Well, fortunately, it looks like there aren’t any Basketball teams in this school. // Either way, I no longer have anything to do.

B1: If you want some after-school activities, good luck on finding something else.

B1: -ch.
< Slam!! >

B1: Ouch! Hey, watch out!

B1: You…


Page 12
B1: Mm? #!!!!! Is he really this tall??
B2: Hu...

{ Huuuuge--- Hey! }
{ Isn’t he over 6 feet!? What in the world do you eat to grow so tall! } #6 feet or 190cm….I wasn’t sure if we’re an American group or “other”. [I'm not really sure either. Let's just go with what we've been doing.]

B1: Sorry, sorry. I’ll be careful.
B2: He’s pretty strong too. An athlete?
B3: Tap

B1: Ah,
{ My cell phone… }

B1: Perhaps, you like basketball?
B2: Eh!? Well, yeah…
B3: Shoot, I got intimidated…


Page 13
B1: Oh, really, then you must be in the basketball team! We’re the same!
B2: I’m Kiyoshi Teppei. Nice to meet ya!

B1: I was just on my way to submit the club application! // Let’s go together!
B2: Let me go! // You’re wrong! I’m not in the basketball team! // In the first place, this school doesn’t have any basketball team!

B1: It doesn't? No way…
B2: Nope!
B3: Hahaha…

B1: …for real?
B2: Where were you planning to submit it?! {That application}

B1: Is that so? then...
B2: it can’t be helped…


Page 14
B1: Then let’s make one!
B2: Together, the basketball team! #and thus, the team was formed. THE END.
B3: Huh!?

B1: How can you… // together!?
B2: If there isn’t one, then we’ve got no choice but to make one, right? // Anyway, if we get three more people, then we can have a match!
B3: Why are you counting me in without my permission!?

B1: I quit basketball already.
B2: Eh? Is that so?

B1: Go ask someone else! So long!

B1: …


Page 15
B1: … // You seem quite displeased these days, Hyuga.

B1: …Of course!

B1: Why don’t you try getting bothered by this giant every day!?
B2: It’d be strange for me to be happy!

B1: Don’t say that. Let’s play basketball together.
B2: I’m telling you, NEVER!


Page 16
B1: I don’t mind…
B2: Really!? Yay! // Now, only two more left!
B3: Seriously, don’t count me in!

B1: Izuki!
B2: There’s no harm, and I want to do it.

B1: Have it your way then! // But I’m not playing, okay? #Awww tsun tsun [It's not like I... WANT to be on your team, or anything... stupid... <3]
B2: Ah

< Slide… >
< Slam! >

B1: Kiyoshi-kun, right?
B2: Teppei’s fine.
B3: You’re really persistent. Why are you trying so hard?

B1: In the first place, you’re “Iron Heart” Kiyoshi, right? // If you wanted to play basketball, there must’ve been plenty of schools calling for you…
B2: Why are you here?

B1: …Yikes…
B2: I don’t like that nickname.
{ It’s not something you should give to a student. }


Page 17
B1: There aren’t any special reasons for why I chose to come here… If I were to pick one, // I guess it’s 'cause it’s close.
B2: Huh!?

B1: I was raised up by my grandma and grandpa;
B2: they’re both getting old, so it’s very convenient for me to attend somewhere close.

B1: I like basketball, but it’s just an extracurricular activity, so
B2: it’s fine as long as it’s fun.

{ Since he’s a celebrated athlete, I thought he had some grand ambition, but… }
{ he’s quite easygoing. }
B1: Despite that, he still won, so I can sort of understand Hyuga’s feelings.

B1: So you’re saying winning or losing doesn’t matter as long as everyone is happy.
B2: Mm?

B1: Of course not. What’s the pointing of slacking?
B2: Eh?
B3: It’s completely different from taking it easy.


Page 18
B1: You keep working hard in order to win and you get better little by little…
B2: To immerse oneself in something you like, // that’s what it means to enjoy something fully.

B1: Moreover, we’re still students.
B2: Giving all our lives still might not be enough.

B1: …
{ …I take back what I just said... }
{ so there really are people like him. }

B1: Hyuga’s ambition is really starting to feel retarded…. #Okay, after searching through awhile, this “top” seems to refer to his “take the top” thing at the beginning…do you think this works, or should we change it to something like “complaint” [Honestly, it's a little awkward any way we slice it.]

{ Ah-choo! }

B1: Ah! Hey, hey!
B2: Are you the Kiyoshi-kun that’s gathering basketball players?


Page 19
B1: Can you put us into the group?
B2: …

B1: !

B1: Yeah! Of course!
B2: Yes! // We did it, Mitobe!
{ Ah, I’m Koganei, nice to meet ya! }

B1: Ah, just in case, do you have any experience?
B2: Of course!

B1: He does!
B2: And you?


Page 20
B1: If you walk three steps, it’s cycling!
{ You mean traveling… }
B2: So you’re a beginner.

B1: I played tennis during middle school, but // when I watched Mitobe play, I thought“basketball looks fun too!"
B2: Hmm, then you must be pretty athletic… // wait, that’s your motive!?

B1: Yay! We’ve gathered 5 members!
B2: So you’re really counting Hyuga?

B1: Putting Hyuga aside for now,
B2: it’s better for us to ask one or two more people. // If we just have 5 members, it’ll be pretty tough for both practice and a match.

B1: Ma-na-ger!! Cute and cuddly ma-na-ger!! #I don’t know why, but he’s speaking with a “t” sound in “manager”. Does this go through, should we just use “manager”? [...There must be a reason for this, right...? Maybe we just put "sic" after it.¬ I would take it out.]
{ Here, here!! }
< Bouncy bouncy >
B2: I understand your feelings, but wait a sec and listen to what people say, okay!?

B1: …

B1: She’s not a guy, but there is one who might be a perfect manager…
B2: Her house is close to Hyuga’s, and runs a sports gym. // 'Cause of that, she’s quite knowledgeable about muscle training and stuff. [You're too carefree.]


Page 21
B1: Hmm… she sounds interesting!
B2: Let’s ask her!

B1: Well… I guess you could say interesting… but she is a bit out of the ordinary…
B2: We’ll know once we meet! // What’s her name?

B1: Riko— you’ve got a guest.
B2: They say they’re the basketball team.
B3: Huh--?

B1: Basketball team? {Was there one? }

B1: Aida Riko
B2: Of all things, why’s it the sport that I dislike the most?

BOX1: Meanwhile, Hyuga
{ Just wait-- }
{ I won’t go back!! }
{ Alright, I’ll do it. }
BOX2: was desperately trying to strengthen his determination to skip class. #-_____-
