Eyeshield 21 248

I can already hear the fangirls screaming. I fear the screams of the fangirls for this chapter will cause earthquakes everywhere in the world, and bring our civilization to an end. So I write this translation as what is probably my last work (lie, of course). If any of the survivors in the future find this, let me tell you that : don’t give fangirls what they want to see since the beginning, or the world will collapse again. Never.

KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~ Hirumaaaa~ :fangirl

Ahem. Please use this translation for whatever you want, whether it is scanlating, translating, or hitting on future ES21 fangirls/fanboys :amuse Thanks (the thanks hack is down though) and praises and briberies are always welcome too :nuts

And damn, this chapter was loooong :darn

Kurita : Come on, together
Kurita : American football is fun

Guy : He just doesn’t get tired, that Kurita, day after day...
Guy2 : But if you don’t have 3 persons you can’t make a club.
Guy2 : He should just give up already.

Hiruma : So they let me stay here without charges.
Kurita : I don’t really understand but I understand that person is scary...

Kurita : Eh... but
Kurita : what about your parents??

Hiruma : They’ve been caught by the Bank of England for fraud of stocks.
Hiruma : And sentenced to 15 years of jail.

Kurita : You’re amassing so much
Kurita : What do you
Kurita : want to buy?

Hiruma : There’s not really anything I want to buy.
Hiruma : Only the victory is interesting.

Hiruma : I’m going to this interesting place now.
Hiruma : Don’t follow me, fucking fatty.

Page 17

Hiruma : I told you not to follow me!
Kurita : B-b-but, well...
Kurita : Don’t you think American football is incredibly fun??

Kurita : Well that’s what I want to say, but without comrades
Kurita : I haven’t played a single match yet...
Kurita : But with Hiruma-kun as a quarterback and me as a center

Hiruma : Only the victory is interesting.
Hiruma : I’m going to this interesting place now.

Kurita : That’s it... If the wire fence is fixed
Kurita : Hiruma won’t be able to do his favorite thing anymore
Kurita : Maybe we’ll be able to play American football together... :

Kurita : No...
Kurita : That’s wrong!
Kurita : I can’t!

Kurita : Because if I couldn’t play anymore
Kurita : my favorite thing, American football
Kurita : It would be too sad.

Page 20

Kurita : Don’t fix it!
Kurita : That... Please stop that!

Musashi : I can’t do that.
Musashi : When we get a job we must do it until the end.

Kurita : But, Hiruma-kun
Kurita : He’s looking forward to it.
Kurita : He’s looking forward to
Kurita : the games he’s betting on here everyday!
