Souju: You're Ms. Katori right?

Souju: how did you know I lived here?

Yuko: Oyassan...from the food stand...

Souju: Okay, okay, c'mon in. Even though the place is a pigsty.

Yuko[Thought]: Ooohhh

Souju: Sit down...If you can find an empty place.

--Page 3--

Yuko[Thought]: Hmm. I would'e thought he'd have soccer posters on the
wall or something. Oh, well.

Souju: I'd offer some tea but,um, I just ran out.

Souju: You can have some soy milk, if you want.

Yuko[Thought]: ...

Yuko:[Thought]: Ummm.Sure

[sFX: Slurpp]

Yuko[Thought]: Wow. It's pretty good.

[sFX: Slurrpp]

Souju: So,why are you here?

[sFX: Oh.Right the reason.]

[sFX: Duh]

Yuko: Well, as a matter of fact!

Yuko: I came here to ask...

Yuko: ...If you'd take over as coach at Josui Junior High...

--Page 4--

Souju: ...

Souju: Aren't you coach?

Yuko: Only in name. And not for long.

Yuko: I didn't think it would be a problem.Unitl now. I'm just an
amateur they need someone better.

Yuko: But... After their last match, they need someone who can direct
them, who can really help them win.

Yuko: They were trying so hard, but there was nothing I could do.

Yuko: But after you talked to them...

Yuko: ...They did so much better.

--Page 5--

Yuko: I beg you, please become the coach...

Souju: I'm sorry.

Yuko: What?

Souju: I can't do it. I...I don't have the right to teach them.

Souju: But thank you...

Yuko: But...

Souju: Excuse me, I have to go to work now.

Yuko: All right I'll go...

Yuko: But first...

--Page 6--

Yuko[Thought]: I didn't think he'd refuse. Mayeb...he hates soccer?

Yuko[Thought]: But I thought he...

mind please call.]

Sign: Josui Junior High School

Narrator: After School Hours...

Girl 1: Yayyyy Tatsuya.

Josui Student: The soccer team had a really close match against the
super team.

Josui Student: You mean Musashinomori? Yeah, considering all their
fighting almost tore them apart.

Masato: Look. I think we're famous now.

[sFX: Pat Pat]

Tatsuya: Yeah, but it won't last. Let's face it, we lost our first
match. they'll forget us pretty quick.

Masato: What a jerk. What's so wrong with feeling good for a change?

Girls: Yayyyy. Tatsuya!

Masato: Hey, your fan club is calling you.

[sFX: Hey casanova, should I be jealous of your popularity?]

Tatsuya: Take 'em they're yours.

[sFX: Next, the four to four mini-game.]

[sFX: Forget him. He doesn't care about you. But I'm available.]

[sFX: No way! Go away!]

--Page 8--

Tatsuya: What're you up to, Sho?

[sFX:Huh?]

Sho: Just thought I'd practice.

Tatsuya: Careful with your sprain.

Tatsuya: Sometimes it's worse than breaking a bone!

Sho: It's better. i hardly feel it now.

Shigeki: Tatsuya's acting just like a brother-in-law.

Tatsuya: Shige!

[sFX: Yaaaa! You're so scaring me.]

Josui Player: Captain, you've got a new team applicant waiting.

Tatsuya: Another one? All right, I'm coming.

Sho: Okay, later then, I'm going home to rest.

--Page 9--

Tatsuya: Make sure you do. And no kicking.

Girl 1: Um, who's that little guy?

Girl 2: Sho? he's a transfer. Class 2-A.

Girl 2: Didn't he play really well in the game the other day?

Girl 1: Hmmm. Maybe I should become his fan.

Girl 3: He's cute. But he's more like a little borther than a
boy-friend.

Girl 2: What about Tatsuya?

[sFX: Yak Yak]

Girl 3: Yea definitly boyfriend material.

[sFX: Yak]

Girl 4: Oooh...

Sho[Thought]: Two weeks ago, we lost agaisnt Musashinomori two to
three.

Sho[Thought]: Everyone said it was a shame we'd lost and told us how
well we played against them.

Sho[Thought]: It maay have only been by one point. But it was more than
enough.

Sho[Thought]: And if the game had been longer they would have scored
even more.

Sho[Thought]: So I need to become a better player.

Sho[Thought]: Losers don't get to play against more opponents.

--Page 10--

Sho[Thought]: Lost in thought I found myself at the river bed...

Sho[Thought]: So now what? Kicking a ball against the wall shouldn't
hurt me.

Sho: Hmm?

[sFX: That's our school uniform what's he doing?]

[sFX: Unnhhhhh]

[sFX: He's staring at the river really strange.]

[sFX: No no...it can't be...]

[sFX: Suicide?!]

[sFX: No,don't]

Note: There's been so many cases of suicide.

Sign: Stop! Jumping in

[sFX: Fwippp]

Sho: No!

Sho: Don't do it!

Sho: Don't kill yourself.

Daichi: Suicide?

[sFX: Wham]

--Page 11--

Sho: Ahhhhh!

Sho: Yahh!!

[sFX: Splashhhh]

Fisherman: !!

--Page 12--

[sFX: Fwoooommm]

Daichi: Aahh-Tchooo!

Sho: ...Sorry.

Sho: I was so sure you were trying to kill yourself.

Daichi: Death ios inevitable but I see no reason to hasten its coming.
I was there because this bridge's view intrigues me.

Daichi: Why are there so many suicides here? Why would anyone choose to
die here?

Daichi: I was contemplating that,when...

Daichi: ...You unfortunately tried to "save me."

Sho[Thought]: Wierd. Who talks like that?

Daichi: My conclusion...

--Page 13--

Daichi: It is a short walk here from the railroad stationjust long enogh for someone already sad to become depressed. And, of course, the railing's so low.

[sFX: Chatter]

Daichi: The river is also unexpectedly deep and flows quickly. The majority, even 85% of poor swimmers, would surely end up drowning. That's why there are so many suicides here.

Daichi: And that, after careful analysis, is my conclusion.

[sFX: Hmmmm]

Daichi: Aaahhhhh...

Sho: ...

Daichi: A thought concerning you. Why are you here?

Sho: Huh?

Sho: I always practice soccer here.

Daichi: Soccer? What is that?

Sho: What?

--Page 14--

Sho: ...So, using the court like this... ...two teams of 11 players each kick a ball and...

[sFX: Skritchh]

Sho: ...The team that kicks it into the opponent's goal wins.

Daichi: Simple. And it's fun?

[sFX: Is that possible?]

Sho: !

Sho: Yeah. Lots.

Sho: Try it. You'll see.

Daichi: Let's do it then.

--Page 15--

Sho: Since we're only two, we can only practice PK, but...

Daichi: Quite acceptable.

Sho: The kicker has to kick the ball somewhere inside that fame. The GK will...

Daichi: GK? The one who "defends" the goal?

Sho: Yeah. Basically the GK uses his hands, lesgs, or any other parts of his body to stop the ball.

Sho: In PK, the kicker is more disadvantage so I'll play that.

Daichi: Disadvantage?

Daichi: Of course. The GK knows the ball is coming somewhere near him, thus it's easier to stop.

Sho: Yea, but the frame is pretty big and the ball could be kicked anywhere, so it's not really easy.

--Page 16--

Sho: Er-- Um. Maybe you should take your hands out of your pocket.

Daichi: I am fine. Just kick!

Sho[Thought]: If you say so.

Sho[Thought]: It's his first time. Maybe I should kick where it'll be easy to catch.

[sFX: Krakk]

[sFX: Oops! I kicked too hard.]

--Page 17--

[sFX: Whiiss]

[sFX: Shhhh]

[sFX: His fist?]

Daichi: There.

Sho: Again.

[sFX: Impossible nobody could slap it down with their fist?]

[sFX:Whoomp]

Sho: Again!

[sFX: Whamm!]

--Page 18--

[sFX: Thump Thump]

Daichi: Effortless.

Daichi: Quite Easy.

Daichi: And too simple to be fun.

[sFX: I don't get it.]

[sFX: Who the heck is he?]
