(Ch. 7) Uetake Clinic

Dog: (pant)(pant)(pant)
	(pant)(pant)

Haruka: Kunimi-kun.

Hiro: Hey.

Haruka: You run every morning?

Hiro: Yeah,
	it's turned into a routine for me.

 - Page 116 -

Hiro: And since leg power is a foundation of all sports, not just baseball,
	it won't be wasted effort, no matter what sport I start.

Haruka: If you haven't decided what sport to start, why don't you coach for the baseball club?
	It doesn't even have to be every day, it could just be once in a while.
	C'mon!

Dog: (pant)(pant)

Hiro: The club's all juniors and seniors, isn't it?
	They won't let a sophomore like me tell them what to do.

Haruka: It's okay!
	Nobody will complain about anything you say, Kunimi-kun.

Hiro: I'm not really good at telling people what to do.
	Oh,
	that's it.

Hiro: Ask Noda if you need a coach.
	His test scores suck, but he's got a good mind for baseball.

Noda: (hmph)

Hiro: Calling the pitcher's pitches and directing defense formation,
	the catcher's a position that always has to think about the entire team.
	He'd be better suited for it than a stuck-up pitcher.

Haruka: Okay, I'll ask him.

Dad: (pant)(pant)(pant)(pant)

Hiro: He finally caught up.

 - Page 118 -

Dad: Jeez Hiro,
	can't you run a little slower?
	You tryin' to kill your dad?
	(wheeze)(wheeze)

Haruka: Good morning.

Dad: (pant)(pant)
	Hooo.
	Hooo.

Hiro: What are you, an owl?

Dad: What relationship do you have with Hiro?

Dog: (pant)(pant)

Haruka: We go to the same school.
	We've just met, really...

Dad: Well, that's good.
	This guy's pretty lewd.  You may not want to get too close to him.

Hiro: Hey.

 - Page 119 -

Dad: And even though I am lewd as well,	with age comes the experience to suppress one's urges.
	You'd feel much safer with me.
	Plus, he only has 5,000 yen of allowance every month,
	while I'VE got these cards here, and some savings I've kept secret from the wife.

Hiro: Hey.

Dad: How about it?  Let's get something to eat some time.
	The company will pay for it, don't hold back.  (gahaha)
	Humoring an old man like me can be good social study.
	Miss...?

Haruka: Ah,
	Koga.

Dad: Right,
	Koga-chan?

Haruka: Er, I'll think about it.

Hiro: You can fire him after all.

Dad: Hm?

 - Page 120 -

Haruka: Well,
	goodbye.

Dad: Bye bye!
	See you again, Koga-chan.
	Koga...chan?

Hiro: Hope you enjoy your call to the boss's office.

Dad: Daughter of...
	President Koga?

Hiro: If you get fired, go find some solo assignments.

Hideo: Pardon me!
	Pardon me!

Coach: What is it, Tachibana?

Hideo: Nobody's answering.  And the curtains are all pulled closed.
	They shouldn't be closed today, though.

Coach: Oh well.
	Let's find another place.

Hikari: Hmm!

Teacher: What was that pose?!

Hikari: Destorade...

Teacher: Listen, Amamiya-san!
	In archery, the pose and "follow through" after you loose the arrow is very important!
	Follow through is complete statement of the shot!
	In other words,
	Basically,
	That is...
	So to speak,

 - Page 127 -

Hikari: Maruyama-san hurt his elbow?!

Hideo: Yeah.  Meiwa's lost its ace pitcher right before the tournament.

Hikari: But didn't they say Maruyama-san's elbow was just tired?!

Hideo: That's what Dr. Uetake said,
	But the university hospital we took him to said something entirely different.

Hikari: Isn't Uetake-san supposed to be famous around here for treating sports players?

Hideo: Yeah.

 - Page 128 -

Noda: Ahhh, just like Dr. Uetake said, the butterfly is the best for back rehabilitation.

Swimmers: Butterfly for your back?
	Never heard of that.

Noda: The doctor said it.  Gotta be true.

Tennis Player: Couldja get that for me?

 - Page 130 -

Tennis Player: Yoik!

Hiro: Oh, sorry.
	A glass elbow that'll break in three months...
