B1: If you wish…
B2: any position’s possible. #the text is actually different from the end of chap 1

{ Chapter 2: Demonstration }


Page 02
B1: You can play anywhere!?

B1: Now isn’t that funny!! // Just like street football, huh!! #street/playgound
B2: Even if we’re in League 2, we’re still legitimate pros!!

B1: Do you think such cheap tricks will work in our team!! #he’s actually referring to “cheap player”, but don’t think it works in English.

{ You made him angry. }


Page 03
B1: My apologies… Our joke went too far.

B1: He specializes in right Side Back position.

B1: Right Side Back?

B1: Yes.

B1: ---Geez, you should’ve said that from the start… // You said testing’s free, right!!


Page 04
B1: Then I’ll have you show me your skills as a right Side Back. // Cou..
B2: Cough // cough
B3: Cough

B1: Shit, // my throat’s all dried up cause I raised my voice too much!!
B2: Hey, someone. Bring me water!!

B1: So I’m playing Right Side Back this time… #or put “this time” after So.
B2: Yeah.

B1: Why’s that?


Page 05
B1: This team tends to lose a lot by getting that place penetrated.
< Whaaa >
< Wha >

B1: Moreover, the Right Side Back of their next opponent, // is especially powerful.

B1: I already knew from my investigations that strengthening the offensive•defensive power of this position is the biggest issue of this team…

B1: That’s why that coach jumped right in when he heard the word “Right Side Back”.
B2: I see.
B3: Come on, what are you gonna show me!? #good luck typesetting this :P


Page 06
B1: If that’s the case, then if I fill up that position, this team will win.
B2: That’s right.

B1: What? Such conversation…
B2: They’re incredibly confident even though nothing’s decided yet. #decided or “set in stone”

B1: But before that, aren’t you suppose to pass the test and show them how good you are?
B2: That’s right.

B1: Then it’s all good if we just show them the usual.
< Stretch Stretch >

B1: Eh? // You’ve got some secret plan? #plan/move


Page 07
B1: Here’s the water.
B2: Good.
B3: You can go fetch water by yourself at least.

B1: Excuse me.
B2: Ah.
< Pick >

B1: Sorry, but let me borrow this.
B2: There’s a very important job I want you to do.

B1: A very important job?

B1: …..


Page 08
B1: Umm…. Sorry but…
B2: I have absolutely no clue what this’s about.
B3: You’ll understand in like 5 minutes. #or “5 minutes later”

B1: If you can pull off this job, it will greatly benefit your major too. #major/studies

B1: I still have no clue, but it’s giving me a really bad vibe~~~ #or “but I don’t like this~~~~~” “but I have a really bad feeling about this~~~”
B2: You’re pretty sharp. It’s probably what you think it is.

B1: Okay, absolutely don’t move from this PK mark.
B2: EEH!!? So this is…


Page 09
B1: William Tell?

B1: Don’t tell me that you’re going to
B2: knock off that bottle on top of the girl’s head with a right cross!?

B1: It’s okay. Believe in me.
B2: Even if you say that…

B1: How am I supposed to believe a Kansai native who claims he’s suffering from amnesia!!
BOX: It’s a stereotype. #stereotype/prejudice

B1: Trust me.

{ Uu…. }

< Mutter >
{ What? What’s going on? }
< Mutter >


Page 10
B1: He’s dodging the cones with an incredible speed!!
B2: What the heck is he!!


Page 11
B1: But, can he really do it?
B2: It’ll be pretty serious if it hits her face!!
{ I never told you to go that far… }

B1: Sorry mom and dad…
B2: Even though I talked you guys into letting me study abroad in Europe for language…

B1: I thought I was pretty lucky when I found a nice part-time job with a fellow Japanese, // but the job turned out to be putting a water bottle on top of my head…

B1: This has nothing to do with my language studies!!

B1: Hey, don’t move!!


Page 12-13
B1: Ohh, // nice centering!!

B1: ---Hey. // wait a sec.

B1: Shouldn’t a cross released from your right foot, // curve to the left normally!?


Page 14
B1: Oh…
B2: He kicked with the outside of his right foot!
B3: That’s quite a trick!!

B1: No-------
B2: The ball’s coming right at me!!

B1: Trust me!!

B1: ……

{ Rgh… that’s right… even if it’s just part-time… }
{ we’re still comrades working together, right!! } #does “comrades” sound too…commie?


Page 15
{ Yup!! I trust you!! }

B1: …..

B1: He missed!? // It wasn’t even close!!
B2: What the heck, weren’t you gonna hit that bottle!?


Page 16
< Biiiiiiing >
B1: Huh?

< Shake shake >


Page 17
< Snatch >

B1: Here, I’ll give this back.
B2: In an actual match, we can present you with something even better than this.

B1: ….
B2: That was… aimed? #aimed/deliberate/on purpose…. Not really sure what’s best.

B1: Of course!

< Gulp gulp >


Page 18
< Puh >

B1: Alright… come to the club house tomorrow at 10.

B1: Wise decision.

< Mutter mutter >
B1: What the heck is he…

B1: As expected…

B1:I sure picked up a pretty good merchandise.


Page 19
B1: Hey, we’re done.
B2: Let’s go home already---

< Brrrrrrr… >

B1: Do you do that all the time!?

B1: I do think it’s a nasty show too. // It also makes the part-time workers runaway easily…

B1: If we don’t make that much of a bluff, we can’t get a contract.
B2: Then why don’t you do it.


Page 20
B1: It doesn’t work well if it’s not about your height.
B2: Even with that, chance of success is around 80%.
B3: 80%!? // That’s so vague!! #vague/questionable

B1: Well, this dirty business will only go on until I regain my memories…

B1: …..

B1: Don’t gimmie that again!! // You…
B2: You swindlers!!
