Characters appearing:
Others: Meguru, Mizuno
Tsuzuru: ….
Tsuzuru: (Looks like I can also use this plot here. And also…)
Tsuzuru: --Ah. The press conference is today.
Tsuzuru: (I think it's starting at 7 o'clock. There's still time but…)
Tsuzuru: ….
Tsuzuru: (No, I'm too nervous about it so I can't concentrate, let's take a break for today)
~~~
Announcer: "The long awaited representative announcement starts 7 o'clock!"
Azami: They're stretching it too much.
Omi: This thrill is nice though.
Citron: It's soon time to sound the voodoo!
Tsuzuru: It's called a vuvuzela. And also, you play it only during a match.
Tasuku: So you too were curious about the announcement after all, Minagi.
Tsuzuru: Well, of course.
Banri: What's going on, a soccer club meeting?
Omi: Welcome home.
Citron: Welcome.
Tsuzuru: They're going to announce the Japanese representatives for the World Cup soon.
Banri: Ah, I see.
Banri: Ah, that's right. About the futsal tournament, I really do have different business on that day. I can't participate. Sorry.
Omi: So you really can't come.
Tasuku: I see, can't be helped.
Azami: Banri-san not coming is really a hard blow.
Citron: I can yelp!
Tsuzuru: Help. Citron-san, have you ever played soccer?
Citron: Of course! The kicking ball sports.
Omi: Yeah, that's it.
Azami: So he has actually played it.
Citron: Everyone in the team form a circle and keep kicking!
Tasuku: Righ-, wait, a circle…?
Tsuzuru: Are you talking about kemari*!?
Citron: I can participate in futsal tournament!
Azami: No, it's fine.
Omi: I'll teach you the rules some other time, so join our practice.
Tsuzuru: Banri can't come, so who can we ask?
Tasuku: Someone who has played soccer before, and might be good at it…
Omi: If it's athletic abilities, I think Juza would do. He's fast too.
Azami: If it's just running and shooting it might work, but I feel he would suck at passing.
Tsuzuru: True…
Banri: It's absolutely impossible for him.
Banri: What about Masumi? Guy-san also might able be to do it no problem. He has stamina too.
Tsuzuru: I don't think Masumi would act if it has nothing to do with Director.
Azami: Guy-san might work.
Citron: Chikage is skilled too.
Tasuku: That's true.
Tsuzuru: Though, I'm not sure he would put his heart into it…
Banri: I can't imagine him playing soccer genuinely.
Azami: What about Misumi-san, or Hisoka-san?
Tsuzuru: If we prepare lots of triangles and marshmallows it might work.
Tasuku: Compensation-wise, Guy-san is the best option.
Citron: I can't help but Guy can, I can't agree to that.
Omi: Oh right, if Citron has never played soccer, then Guy-san too…
Azami: It's possible he hasn't either.
Tsuzuru: Whoever we choose, there are cons and pros.
Tasuku: That's difficult.
Announcer: "The press conference is finally starting!"
Omi: Ah, it's starting.
Azami: On these occasions, won’t the members let their families know beforehand?
Tsuzuru: Seems like they can't since it's confidential. I think that this very moment my family also watches the TV at home.
Azami: Ohh.
Announcer: "Coach Blanco has entered the conference room!"
Citron: They're announcing it!
*Bzzt bzzt*
Tsuzuru: --.
Banri: Isn't it your phone?
Tsuzuru: It's an unknown number. Who can it be…
Tasuku: It keeps on ringing.
Tsuzuru: …I'll answer it.
~~~
Tsuzuru: --Hello.
???: "Hello, Tsuzuru?"
Tsuzuru: Eh? Big bro?
Meguru: "My bad. You couldn't see the number right. I'm calling from a public phone"
Tsuzuru: Huh? A public phone, why… rather, where are you calling from…
Meguru: "I think I'm somewhere close to the dorms, but I've been there only once so I got lost"
Tsuzuru: Close to the dorms, like close to our dorms!?
Meguru: "Right. I forgot my phone, good thing I remember your number"
Tsuzuru: No, that's not the problem here. Why at such an important time--.
Meguru: "I can see a building that looks like a post office, can you come pick me up?"
Tsuzuru: Like I was saying, why are you there in such an important time…
Citron: …Oh….
Azami: …no way…
Tasuku: ….That's unexpected…
Tsuzuru: --.
Meguru: "Tsuzuru?"
Tsuzuru: Got it. I'm coming right away.
Meguru: "…thanks"
~~~
Meguru: …
Tsuzuru: Big bro…
Meguru: Sorry about that.
Tsuzuru: What are you doing…
Meguru: I wasn't chosen for the national team.
Tsuzuru: --.
Meguru: Hey, Tsuzuru, I…
Meguru: I'm thinking about quitting soccer.
Tsuzuru: Eh…
~~~
Mizuno: ….
Reporter: "Coach Blanco--!"
Chairman: "If you have a question please raise your hand"
Reporter: "Please tell us why Minagi, who was considered a prominent candidate, didn't make it—"
Interpreter: "Minagi is a player with the power to fight on the international stage. We've been struggling to decide, but after the training camp and the goodwill matches we chose another player"
Mizuno: Meguru-san…
