Characters appearing:
Others: Meguru, Tadoru
Tsuzuru: You're switching positions to a DF? Now?
Meguru: Yeah, some real skilled rookies have joined our team this year, and the fight for the FW position is harsh.
Meguru: Even though I've been a regular since my first year~.
Tsuzuru: Did your coach tell you to switch?
Meguru: No, I asked for it myself.
Tsuzuru: So what was it about becoming the best FW in Japan?
Meguru: …I want to keep playing soccer, see.
Meguru: Overseas too, there're many professional players who converted to different positions successfully.
Meguru: In practice matches I've been told being a DF fits me, so I'm gonna do my best.
Tsuzuru: ….
Meguru: I'm thinking about skipping university once I graduate, and go on to become a trainee in a club team.
Meguru: If I convert to a DF, this door will surely open for me.
Meguru: I will get a contract as soon as possible, earn money, and make your life easier.
Tsuzuru: --I don't care about all that. Once I get into high school I'm gonna work nonstop anyway.
Meguru: If you don't study you're going to fail your entrance exams you know.
Tsuzuru: I don't have any plans of going to university.
Meguru: No, you have to go!
Tsuzuru: --.
Meguru: Go to university.
Tsuzuru: I won't be going.
Meguru: You’re definitely going.
Tsuzuru: --where did it come from suddenly.
Meguru: Your dream is to become a playwright right? If you want to become one, you have to study a bunch.
Meguru: Don't worry about the money. You don’t have to work either.
Meguru: I consulted with big bro, about how we must let you go to university, we talked about it with our parents too.
Tsuzuru: When did you… there're many writers who never went to university.
Meguru: Big bro and I, we've always pushed all the problems in home on you right. That's the least we can do for you.
Tsuzuru: --Don't do such selfish things!
Tsuzuru: You're just trying to make reparations for everything you did! Don't drag me into this self satisfaction of yours!
Meguru: --, hey, stop that!
Tsuzuru: You two are so selfish!
Meguru: --it hurts, hey, stop it Tsuzuru!
Tadoru: I'm back~, wait, what are you two doing.
Tsuzuru: --.
Tadoru: Here, calm down~. There there.
Tsuzuru: ….

Tsuzuru: In order to help our home situation, my brothers worked and earned money for us.
Tsuzuru: Meguru has been scouted for many universities too, but he chose to become a pro as soon as possible.
Tsuzuru: With the help of his coach from high school, he was able to join a B team as a DF…
Tsuzuru: I honestly think it's amazing he was able to get a contract not so long after he became a trainee. I understand it's the result of his effort too.
Tsuzuru: But, I still think that if back then, he was to accept an invitation from a university, he would've had a chance to become a FW again.
Tsuzuru: I think that maybe this chance was destroyed just because he wanted me to go to university…
Tsuzuru: Obviously, right now my brother is successful, and I'm grateful he gave me the opportunity to go to university.
Tsuzuru: I know that my brother is satisfied with the current situation too, but still it keeps bothering me.
Tasuku: So you think he might've sacrificed it all for you.
Tsuzuru: Yes.
Tsuzuru: …it's the first time I've ever told it to someone, so I'm a bit relieved.
Omi: I've always thought you and I are similar somehow, Tsuzuru.
Omi: There are many things I gave up, because I too thought I have to work hard for my family.
Omi: Our options might've been limited because of our household situations. But in this narrow path we were able to find many precious things.
Tsuzuru: …you're right.
Omi: You just can’t help but think about the future that could've been, right.
Omi: But the only thing we can do, is to treasure the "present" we have.
Tsuzuru: --.
Azami: You having a soccer club meeting?
Azami: That's perfect. I've been looking for you Tsuzuru-san.
Tsuzuru: For me?
Azami: I was talking to Meguru-san earlier. Even though he's such an amazing DF, he said he used to be a FW?
Omi: We've just heard this story now as well.
Azami: It was as if because he had switched to DF, there were ill feelings between you, so it has weighed on his mind a bit.
Azami: For now, how about you talk to him.
Tsuzuru: ..you're right.
Tasuku: --Minagi--.
*kicks*
Tsuzuru: --oops. Wait, why this ball all of a sudden…
Tasuku: Use it.
Tsuzuru: …alright.
~~~
Meguru: ….zzz.
Tsuzuru: Hey… wake up.
Meguru: Hm…? Tsuzuru…?
Tsuzuru: Big bro, let's go play soccer.
