What would you like to tell us after winning your first professional tournament? Choko: I want to thank you ALL!! I couldn't have done it without you! Thank you, thank you... Oh!! Ohhh... Man: Choko-chan is so happy, she's crying tears of joy!! Crowd: Choko-chan!! Congratulations, Choko-chan!! Choko: I'm going to use this Cinderella Cup, sniff... as a step on the stairway to, sniff... worldwide fame. Please... (fwip fwip) - Page 168 - Choko: Please continue to give me your wonderful support!! Set.51 : Soapland Visit Determined?! - Page 169 - Crowd: (clap clap clap clap clap) Shisaki: Step on the stairway to worldwide fame, indeed... While we're sliding down the stairway to hell... Wife: Honeyyyy! Kuniryo: Damn that Ryugasaki and her stupid dimples. Wish we could drag her down with us. Fuda: No... Ryugasaki is not to blame for this. Shisaki: That's right... it's all Umino's fault that we were fired!! Kuniryo: Damn you, Umino... How could you lose after you got so far?! Wives: AAAAAHH, our 20-year mortgage!! The private elementary school funding!! Kuniryo: STOP CRYING!! Kids: Mamaaa! Fuda: Oh... wait a minute. Umino's the runner-up. Shisaki: That's right. She didn't win, so we're being fired. - Page 170 - Fuda: But... they still give prize money for second place. Kuniryo: OH...!! Shisaki: That's right... The runner-up gets 2.5 million yen!! Fuda: Don't you think we have the right to that money?! Shisaki: YES!! We do!! WE'RE the ones who raised Umino into what she is!! Wife: We certainly do!! Kuniryo: Each of our families gets 800 thousand!! Umino should be content with the remaining 100 thousand!! Fuda: Right?! Yeah!! Writers: I can't believe Umino's even boycotting the award ceremony. She kept objecting to all those calls and causing all those problems. She's in for some heavy penalties. Three-game suspension and a 500 thousand yen fine? No, it'll be more for disruptions on this scale. I'd say more like 1 million. - Page 171 - Fuda: Subtract 1 million... that leaves 1.5 left... Shisaki: Then each family gets 500 thousand each... Kuniryo: And none left for Umino!! Serves you right!! Ha... hahaha!! Kaku: Pardon me!! Please let me through!! (hahh)(hahh) The women's changing room is this way!! Keiichiro: Okay!! Open up, Umino!! Kaku: Wait! This is the women's changing room!! Keiichiro: Oh... uh... right. Kaku: Umino-san!! - Page 172 - Kaku: M... Madam. Keiichiro: Mommy... why...? Ah... Kaku: Madam!! Please Madam, don't fire Umino-san!! Keiichiro: She did so well!! She fought so equally against Ryugasaki!! Ohtori: Keiichiro-san. It seems you still have much to learn about competition. Keiichiro: Uh... - Page 173 - Ohtori: There is no "equal" in a tennis match. One will win and one will lose. In the end, one will laugh and one will cry. That is all!! Keiichiro: Ah... Mommy... I mean, Mother, please wait!! Ohtori: (click)(click) Kaku: Ah! Keiichiro: Umino!! Miyuki: I'm sorry... you were all there to root for me... Keiichiro: Don't be silly, it was an excellent match!! Kaku: Here's your trophy and prize money!! - Page 174 - Miyuki: Oh... Kaku: Great job... you really earned these. Keiichiro: Oh, right! We shouldn't be standing around here, the media's going to come. Tell them everything. All about your circumstances and your brother's debt. - Page 175 - Kaku: He's right, Umino-san!! Then you won't have to deal with all that booing!! Miyuki: I can't... tell them that. Keiichiro: Huh? Kaku: W... why not? Miyuki: It will turn my brother into the villain. He's already in enough trouble being chased by the debt-collectors. If the media starts to get on his case... Keiichiro: B-but... Miyuki: My brother is doing his best to make our family happy!! I will not have him made out to be a bad person!! - Page 176 - Momotaro: Had your fill of bad acting yet today? Come with me, and bring the money. Keiichiro: Why you... Momotaro: What's YOUR problem?! You got beef with me? Huh? See, she's a smart girl. No matter how hard you struggle, once you lose, it's over. She's probably given up that worthless idea of returning her money through tennis. Kaku: Umino-san!! Keiichiro: Umino!! - Page 177 - Momotaro: Heheheh. Coaches: AH. Kuniryo: W... wait a minute!! Shisaki: You're not going to use ALL that money for the debt, are you?! Keiichiro: W-what's all the commotion about?! Shisaki: We have a right to receive some of that prize money, too!! Kuniryo: Wait up, you wretched little thief-girl!! Kaku: What's the matter with you all?! Shisaki: Give us our money!! MONEYYY!! Junji: Feh!! All a bunch of pitiful losers. - Page 178 - Junji: Damn it. Momotaro: I got her, Aniki. Junji: All right, let's see the money. Envelope: Second Prize Junji: You haven't opened it up yet. 2.5 million, safe and sound. Mark that on the receipt, Momotaro. - Page 179 - Momotaro: Right. Junji: Hmph. Well, you must be happy that you managed to make this much by slapping a little ball around. But this won't even cover the interest from your 250 million yen debt. Starting tomorrow, you're gonna have to change your mindset and go back to the soapland. Momotaro: Let's see, "Umino Miyuki"... how do you write "Miyuki" again? Keiichiro: Umino. Kaku: Umino-san. Miyuki: I'm not going to the soapland. - Page 180 - Junji: Huh? Miyuki: I... I'm going to play tennis!! All: What?! Junji: What are you talking about?! How are you going to play tennis now that Ohtori abandoned you?! Miyuki: Madam Ohtori said that I could continue playing. All: Huh?! Miyuki: She came to the changing room and told me!! - Page 181 - <
