(Ch. 10) It Was a Split-second

 - Page 168 -

Hiro: Whew.
	Sooo tired.
	I'm home.

Sign: Kunimi

 - Page 169 -

Amamiya: Yo, baseball boy.

Hiro: Huh.
	What are you two doing here?

Mom: The Amamiyas' bath is being renovated now.

Mrs. Amamiya: That's right.
	And all the bathhouses in the area are out of business.
	So we're going to be using the bath in your house for a little while, Hiro-chan.
	I hope you don't mind.

Hiro: I don't think so.

 - Page 170 -

Amamiya: And we're also drinking your beer.
	Hope you don't mind.
	Gahahaha.

Hiro: I don't think so.
	Is Hikari running the store?

Mrs. Amamiya: Nope.
	We closed the store early...

Hiro: Oh, okay.
	(click)

Mrs. Amamiya: She's in the bath right now.

Amamiya: Oh, ma'am.
	Please don't mind me.
	But you're going to be visiting everyday for a bit.
	Ah, indeed.
	Just one more, then.
	Ooops.
	Don't pour so fast, it's going to spill.

 - Page 173 -

Mrs. Amamiya: I'm sorry.
	We'll bring our own beer tomorrow.

Mom: Please do.

Hikari: Why don't you get a lock?

Poster: Go for the KOSHIEN
		Kunimi Hiro

Hiro: Come on.
	Nobody in this family needs to worry about being peeped at.

 - Page 174 -

Hikari: Maybe I should tell Hide-chan.

Hiro: D-don't!
	He'll kill me.

Hikari: I'm just kidding.
	I couldn't tell him that.

Hiro: It was a split-second.
	And from behind.
	Plus, I have bad eyesight.
	Oh yeah, that was only until middle school.
	(whoops)

Hikari: They must be bad.
	Considering you can read these tiny letters.

Sign: Your eyesight is 20/20!

 - Page 175 -

Hiro: Anyways, let's forget about this.
	It was an accident.
	It's not like I was trying to peek at you.

Hikari: So, you saw something you didn't like, is that it?

Hiro: I didn't mean that.
	We were both surprised at what happened.
	If I had meant to do that, I would remember the sight a bit better.
	It was so sudden, my mind was reeling and I didn't burn it into memory...
	I basically didn't see a thing.
	I swear.

Hikari: Really.

 - Page 176 -

Mrs. Amamiya: Hikari,
	it's time for us to go.

Hikari: Coming!

Hiro: See you tomorrow.

Hikari: See me naked tomorrow, is that it?

Hiro: Gimme a break.

Hikari: Okay.
	As a symbol of your apology, I'll take this thing here.

Hiro: Sure.

 - Page 177 -

Hiro: If that's all it costs me...
	Let's see,
	hmm,
	How many times...
	Please, let's BOTH knock on the door before entering.

 - Page 178 -

Koga: Seven seniors.
	Six juniors.
	Nine sophomores.
	Twenty-two, in total.

 - Page 179 -

Koga: That makes two teams of eleven.
	Okay!
	Let's have a scrimmage game tomorrow.

Haruka: Nobody will get a hit if Kunimi-kun pitches.

Koga: Don't worry.
	Kunimi and Noda will be on different teams.

Book: Senkawa Baseball Team

Koga: Nobody else can catch his full-speed pitching.
	He'll have to tone it down.
	And then,
	uhhhh,
	Kine was originally a pitcher too, right?

Haruka: Yes.
	He was just rather selfish and disliked.

 - Page 180 -

Koga: Can he throw a good curve?

Haruka: An incredibly hard one,
	Just as twisted as his personality-

Kine: AHEM

Haruka: Oh,
	I mean, still not as twisted as his personality.

Kine: That was not the desired answer.

Koga: Anyways, we'll use this to check everyone's game abilities.
	We might find another diamond in the rough besides Sagawa among our first-years.

 - Page 181 -

Haruka: It should be...  fun.

 - Page 182 -

[Hmmmm.]

Noda: Image training?

Hiro: Don't talk to me.

 - Page 183 -

 - Page 184 -

Hikari: Welcome back.
	You don't have to act so scared.
	Listen!
	This shampoo is mine, so don't use it on your dirty hair.

Hiro: Can I use it on my squeaky clean butt?
	(ow!)
