H2 Volume 2 Chapter 6 (15) I Guess You Could Say That - Page 95 - (Ch. 6) I Guess You Could Say That - Page 96 - - Page 97 - Hiro: Any pitchers hear that sound from the mound, they're gonna run for cover. Hideo: Hey minor, that's a beer machine. Hiro: Don't worry. This is for my dad. At this point in my life, I don't have a taste for this bitter crap. Hideo: Wanna get a soda, then? - Page 98 - Hiro: Haven't they announced the match-ups for the summer tournament yet? Hideo: Nope. Hiro: How's your team look this year? Hideo: Championship material, of course. Sign: Go for the KOSHIEN! Tachibana Hideo Hiro: They call Meiwa Daiichi a top school, but the last three years they've been stopped at the semifinals. And they got passed up for the spring tournament spots. Hideo: Cause I wasn't there. - Page 99 - Hiro: How's your pitching? Hideo: With the decent pitchers added in, we got a nice full roster. Only problem is our ace Maruyama-san hurt his elbow a bit. Hiro: Elbow? Hideo: It's okay, he got it checked out. What was that doctor's name again? Hiro: Dr. Uetake? Hideo: Yeah, that one. He said it was just fatigue and that 4 or 5 days of rest should have him ready in time for the tournament. Hiro: That's... good for him. - Page 100 - Hideo: If your... Sign: Go for the KOSHIEN! Tachibana Hideo Hideo: Nah... nothin'. Hiro: If my elbow wasn't busted... what? Hideo: Would you have come to the same high school as me? - Page 101 - Hiro: If you and I were on the same team, the tournament would be pretty damn boring for 3 straight years. Hideo: I guess you could say that. Here comes the rain. [Like there are stars in the sky,] [Like there are deadlines before vacations,] [There is a rainy season before summer...] - Page 102 - [Class Top 50 Students by Total Test Scores This Year] - Page 103 - Noda: You should give up on that kind of stuff around this time. Hiro: Yeah, but for the people who worked hard, it's a kind of incentive. Noda: Who worked hard? Don't get too stuck up cause your guessing machine got lucky and landed you in the top 50. Hiro: You gotta find the pitch you want. Swinging at everything won't raise your average. 46. Koga Haruka, 452 47. Kunimi Hiro, 449 Hiro: Yo! Howdy, neighbor. Haruka: Oh, hello. - Page 104 - Hiro: Only 3 points apart. I could jump ahead after the next test. (heheh) Girl: You doof. Haruka got a 0 on one test for forgetting to write her name on it. Haruka: Eheh. Noda: The superstar who hit a home run and forget to step on all the bases! 103 point difference! Game called! GAHAHAHA! Hiro: And how far back are YOU, wiseass?! Noda: GAHAHAHA! Hiro: Don't try to cover it up by laughing! - Page 105 - Player: Hoi! - Page 106 - Kine: Yes! Another wonderful swing. It's too bad about that broken-elbowed pitcher and stiff-backed catcher, Koga. Haruka: What do you want? Kine: I saw you were looking for members. How many did you get? Haruka: That wasn't you, was it? Kine: What? Haruka: The one who tore down all the posters I put up! Kine: I dunno about that. All I can say is, it's too bad all you can do take swings and play catch over and over again. You could use some real leadership. - Page 107 - Kine: I don't want to have to tell you this... Haruka: And I don't want to hear it. Kine: I was the #4 hitting ace pitcher for the famous Hakusan Angels little league team until I started playing soccer. I'm not bragging, I've got considerable baseball wisdom. Haruka: Oh, shut up! What are you trying to say?! Kine: I'm saying... Depending on how you feel about it, I could be a special member of your team too, as a coach. I'll participate in your baseball games and give you the taste of victory. Well?! Haruka: Hmmmm. Let me tell you how I feel about it. Our club is a baseball lover's club! Yes, we are looking for people, but only those who love baseball! Understand?! Goodbye! - Page 108 - Kine: That girl's the only one who doesn't realize how cool I am. Girls: Teehee. - Page 109 - Noda: Whew. The A's? Hiro: The ponytail girl, and the one with polka-dot panties. Noda: That's kinda lenient. Hiro: Okay, make her a B+ then. Kine: Hey! Hiro: Well, if it isn't Kine, the one who got booted out of the Hakusan Angels #4 spot by Hideo and kicked off the team. Kine: Shut up! You don't have to say all the extra stuff! - Page 110 - Kine: What do you think you're doing?! Noda: Oh yeah, the tennis club's about to come change after their meeting. Hiro: Lots of potential A's in that one. Kine: Damn you... Let me use that box, or I'll tell a teacher! Sign: Girl's Tennis Hiro: Okay, just stay quiet and they won't find out. Noda: Don't make ANY noise. Kine: I know, I know. Get outta here! - Page 111 - Noda: Man, I wanted to watch. Kine: {Here they come!} Girls: Teehee. Teehee. Kine: {Hurry up, start changing.} - Page 112 - Kine: {Huh?} Box: Peeping Hole Perverted Boy Inside Kine: {What? What?} - Chapter 6 Owari -
