Characters appearing:
Others: Meguru
Tasuku: *kicks*
Omi: So you were here too Tasuku-san.
Tasuku: Yeah, I felt like moving my body a little. Thanks for the smoothie.
Omi: No problem.
Tsuzuru: ….
Tasuku: What's wrong?
Tsuzuru: It's just… I've had a fight with my brother.
Tsuzuru: He started saying that he wants to quit being a player and become a coach after all.
Tsuzuru: Looks like he got confident in his coaching ability after the soccer class today.
Tasuku: My bad. I meant for it to remind him the fun of soccer, but I see it had the opposite effect.
Tsuzuru: Not at all! You went out of your way to help us Takato-san. That stupid big bro…
Omi: I bet Meguru-san has a lot going inside his head.
Omi: But it was the first time I saw Tsuzuru having a fight with someone, so it was somehow refreshing. You really are brothers.
Tsuzuru: When Masumi and I joined the company, we had some really harsh arguments though.
Omi: Masumi is also a bit like a little brother right.
Tasuku: By the way, you have little brothers too right Fushimi.
Omi: Yes.
Tsuzuru: What are your brothers like?
Omi: Recently they're working hard on house chores. They said they now understand how difficult it must have been for me, and they thanked me.
Tsuzuru: Heh, that's admirable.
Omi: They are a bit more honest with me than with our dad.
Tasuku: Yeah, it happens sometimes.
Omi: Like stuff that only the siblings know, and not even their own parents.
Omi: Juza and Kumon seem to be this way too.
Tsuzuru: I agree.
Tsuzuru: …about that promise we talked about earlier.
Tasuku: Promise?
Omi: The one Meguru-san said he couldn’t keep.
Tsuzuru: Yes.
Tsuzuru: The truth is… it's my fault.
~~~
Meguru: …I'm sorry. Are you going to be okay with the housework?
Meguru: Kaoru's really gotten himself together, but he still have much to learn, I'm really sorry for leaving you with all the burden.
Tsuzuru: Just forget it and go on being selfish, following your dreams.
Meguru: …thank you.
Meguru: You can use my room.
Tsuzuru: I don't need it. We'll use it as a space for the little ones' toys.
Meguru: I see.
Tsuzuru: --hm.
Meguru: ? What's that?
Tsuzuru: A farewell gift.
Meguru: Soccer shoes? From you Tsuzuru?
Tsuzuru: Who else can it be from.
Meguru: --is that really okay? You've saved your pocket money all this time right.
Tsuzuru: There isn't something else that I want so.
Tsuzuru: Your shoes get worn out right away right. The best FW in his high school can't play it cool with shoes full of holes.
Tsuzuru: You're going to become the best right.
Meguru: Obviously. Just wait until New Year. I'm going to become a regular member as a first year, and play in the national stadium!
Tsuzuru: Sure you are.
Meguru: And someday, I'll become a FW for the national team. It's a promise.
Tsuzuru: That's a big promise. Well, I'll be waiting but keeping my expectations low.
~~~
Meguru: …fuu.
Azami: Is it alright for a soccer player to be smoking.
Meguru: …Ah, my bad my bad, I'll put it out.
Meguru: It happens just from time to time lately. Please don't tell Tsuzuru.
Azami: Roger.
Azami: Thank you for today. I had lots of fun.
Meguru: Same here. I haven’t had this much fun in a while.
Azami: You really are amazing Meguru-san.
Meguru: I think you're pretty skilled yourself Azami. You in your school soccer club?
Azami: No… I just play as a hobby, I'm not in a club.
Azami: My old man always told me to do manly things, there was a time I played soccer 'cause I thought he wouldn't be able to complain then.
Meguru: Oh. I think you're already manly enough Azami.
Azami: I've been told that a man doing makeup isn't manly.
Meguru: Makeup? You mean, you're doing the makeup for the performances?
Azami: Yup. My dream is to become a pro hair and makeup artist, I forced my way through my old man's objections and ran away from home.
Meguru: You ran away from home? Seriously.
Azami: In the end I got him to agree.
Meguru: Persuading your parents and going after your dreams after that is amazing.
Azami: Meguru-san you also became a DF good enough to be considered for the national team.
Meguru: Well yeah… but, I wasn't able to exactly carry out my dream.
Azami: Eh?
Meguru: …you know, until the midway of high school, I was a FW.
