Hirose (small text) : What are you talking about...

Yoshino : That man... If the bicycles aren’t properly lined up he’ll knock all of them down... He’s always so strict with the rules his methods are too much, but... (small text : That was so scary...)
Nerima : That’s right!!!
Nerima : That man is always casually crushing my sunglasses, never paying for them, and telling me “Reflect on what you’ve done”, just like a yakuza, but...

Sayama : Yeah, that’s right!! He’s always cutting again and again...
Sayama (small text) : Truth is... Just like a demon...
Yoshino : That’s...
Yoshino : not really important in the discussion...
Hirose : That’s enough!!!

Someone : But you know... That guy
Hirose (left and right) : Haa

Hazuki (small text) : Oh? Getting embarrassed?
Nerima : in the end, he still gave you this chance.

Hirose : ... Fff
Hirose (small text) : Doing things without permission...

Nerima : Instead of focusing on scoring
Nerima : Focus on making your team win.

Nerima : That’s the responsibility of the scorer.

Sudou : You asked if I had the blues or something (small text : homesick blues, or whatever you said)

Sudou : I was already tired of hearing that.

Sudou : The thing is, this guy isn’t there anymore, but...

Page 17

Sudou : I was already tired
Sudou : Of hearing questions about my blues in America.
