We can make cruel decisions.
Cool.
Is it about Takeuchi-kun’s acting ability…?
My boyfriend/girlfriend is also amazing.
>>93Since I won’t be able to make it onto the bench anyway, if I perform in one game and it helps the team win the championship at Koshien, then it’s worth it!
What is the purpose this time?
Let’s absolutely win to repay these tears!
I don’t think it’s such an easy plan…
>>2Well, I don’t think it’s fair to demand effort from juniors or classmates who made the bench after being excessively made to perform by someone who is supposed to drop out…
>>2That’s how it is towards the mob.
It’s different with Sho-chan and Kiriyama Inou.
Too much like a demon king.
Direction is important.
You’re too good at changing the impression of the same lines right before!
You’ve come here to increase your dominance…
Lieutenant Tsurumi’s reincarnated body
A monster that completely believed it was just a mob, even though it was a genius that could see through the one person who was playing Minecraft.
>>8The only thing he can see through is the ability of baseball players…
>>8It’s only natural not to be able to see that the contents (heart) are a monster.
>>8When evaluated for baseball skills, it’s true that he’s just a villager with slightly better equipment.
It was confirmed again this time that Kobori does not overestimate his self-evaluation, yet he still cannot give up being a professional baseball player.
In Minecraft, someone who usually does various things tried playing baseball this time! So, if you know Minecraft, it’s a very easy-to-understand expression.
“Isn’t it just crazy to think that a third-year student who got cut from the regular team is acting like they’re crying?”
I think Takeuchi-kun should pursue a path in theater rather than baseball.
Baseball is sometimes referred to as a kind of theater…
>>11Captain! How’s it going?
Amidst all this, it’s unsettling to see Mr. Agawa, who is a teacher, make proper statements.
It’s an effective performance to get everyone pumped up… Kobori is amazing…
I have no idea which direction this is going to take.
As it is said, it’s definitely not to boost morale.
>>15You’re going to corner Inou.
Is my heart a monster…?
Kiryama will probably hesitate about whether to decline, so this is likely a strategy to prevent that.
The skepticism of whether what I really love is baseball.
>>19This team has a lot of that…
>>19There’s no doubt that Kobori-kun loves baseball.
It’s hard to doubt that the man who devotes more time to baseball than anyone else in the department and is still dreaming of becoming a professional actually doesn’t like baseball.
If we mention Kiriyama, who is eager to get on the mound without being able to hold back, it can be restrained, and it can also motivate the other members to do their best! When there’s a margin, Inou can take it easy, but it can create a situation where he can’t do that.
You’re crying more than with eye drops, aren’t you?
>>26Inviting water
Isn’t the drama club more suitable than the baseball club?
>>26About 20% acting and 80% seriousness, maybe…
When someone from a close-knit group dies in particularly cruel ways, it tightens things up…
>>27Is there anyone who would ask the senior who was just given a notice of dismissal for help?
>>30We’re classmates!!
For Takeuchi-kun, it’s not just about being dropped from the bench; he can contribute to the team and also release his feelings of frustration.
Takeuchi-kun, you should join the drama club even now.
Kobori and the others will be in their third year!
It was an episode where I could reaffirm that Ino-kun has a fairly age-appropriate emotionality despite that.
Ah, I wonder if they’re going to make Inou responsible for this.
I thought I was going to be taken out of the regular lineup, but…
This guy wasn’t such a gentle presence after all.
>>37If I were bad at it, it might have been possible, but that’s not the case…
People have hearts that can ponder until the very end…
>>38I wonder if it was a struggle to select… and then I can’t help but doubt if they’re struggling with how to use it afterward…
Inou’s ability appeal probably also includes a demonstration of actually doing it.
Doesn’t it have elements that feel like typical teenage boys? Like trying to look cool?
I definitely think it’s true that you were struggling to decide which one to eliminate.
I immediately came to this conclusion when I thought about what only I could do for the team.
The human heart definitely exists.
It’s there, but it’s more like I can do this because it’s there… or is it because I can do it that it’s there?
Kobori-kun has always placed importance on mental aspects rather than just simple physical abilities…
If anything, it seems like Takeuchi, who has been performing for three years as a bench player, will have more opportunities in the future (in a comic-like manner).
>>45I want you to start attending the theater company voluntarily to accurately respond to Kobori’s order!
>>45Am I going to become a member of the Kobori Theater company’s cast…?
There’s no way the starting captain, who can get on base against Todoroki, who is not in bad form as the key player in defense, would be left out…
If we were to ask who this theater resonates with the most, it’s already been said a lot, but it’s Kiriyama, right…?
He properly describes the jersey number, and first of all, he is a sincere baseball fanatic.
Inou cuisine is also good, huh?
>>48There’s no way someone who enjoys life that much hasn’t tried their hand at the classic dishes of their hobbies…
>>48You really noticed this one frame well.
A person’s feelings exist, but when it comes to rationality and results, they can be discarded as much as needed.
Am I born in the wrong era?
Regarding this story, about Sho-chan…
Brat Leader △
Thoughtful of friends 〇
The explanation that was provided was really good and it was an element that I could quite honestly agree with.
Isn’t Takeuchi-kun’s acting ability high? The sadness of not being on the bench is real.
When Ino-kun made a dash after a clumsy base-running fake, as well.
Actually, I was doing something like this behind the scenes. It’s cute how the ability appeal seems genuine and they probably think that’s cool.
>>55There’s a part of Inou that has a middle schooler-like sensitivity.
>>58Am I… not normal?
>>58In the curry-making scene, Inou, who is cutting vegetables unnecessarily quickly, is a bit too childish.
Since you’re troubled, you have a heart, but I think you’re a strong person who can endure the cruelty of being discarded and is prepared to be resented.
I’ve never seen a baseball manga that stretches out three episodes for a number jersey round.
It’s crazy that Takeuchi can do this in 30 minutes after being told to get off the bench and cry.
>>60Brainwashing is thoroughly carried out on a regular basis…
>>60From here, they will also do the Takeuchi brainwashing part, right?
>>115What’s terrifying is not that Takeuchi made a cruel decision, but that there was a way to push Takeuchi this far.
Takeuchi-kun, even though he only appeared in one episode, has an amazing presence right away.
There are no characters in ordinary baseball manga that can have such an amazing presence.
Don’t think you can stay in that seat forever; we need to instill a sense of crisis.
There’s a possibility of playing with a relaxed mindset because I feel at ease now that I’ve made the bench…
>>63How urgent is it to qualify for Koshien?
>>71To win at Koshien, you have to win many times and cannot lose even once, especially since there is a genius awakened in the same region, Seirei.
Since they are at a level where they can compete equally with mid-tier private schools, it would be difficult even if everyone puts in effort beyond their abilities.
>>71It’s Kanagawa.
If a public school goes to the summer Koshien, it will be an achievement not seen in decades.
The devil child born between Captain Erwin and Lieutenant Tsuru.
In the future, while showing off nice episodes from the book Inou will publish, I’m creating my own… serving delicious curry and doing unique core training.
It would be better to have a lot of topics to write about later…
Did you eat all of Mr. Agawa’s curry!?
>>66The teacher is securing curry for Kobori, and I thought, “I see,” when it was said by Nameless.
Teacher is really a teacher.
It’s not that you just fell out of the regular lineup after three years of hard work; you’ve become an accomplice, so it must be fun for you, Takeda-kun.
I am the only one who can make the cruel decision, bearing the captain’s responsibility.
Sure, please provide the Japanese text you would like me to translate.
I am the only one who can make cruel decisions (so I can make full use of it).
It’s probably already been decided early on to include Ino and exclude Takeuchi, right, Kobori?
They must have been continuously devising strategies on how to contribute to the team without creating conflicts.
It was quite anticipated that Kobori would dramatically choose to exclude himself.
This guy is going to mercilessly confront me with a brutal decision on the bench…
>>70If this guy isn’t on the bench, there will be no one to provide commentary.
>>73There is a way to stay on the bench without getting a number.
Recorder
>>79That means you won’t be in a position to tell the players various things.
I feel like it’s unnecessary for Kiryama, who isn’t the type to get carried away or act arrogant, to go for a strike.
>>74Have you forgotten the Cobra Twist?
Going to Koshien means…
If you lose even once, it’s over…
I might have already arranged a job for Takeuchi-kun.
Is Kobori’s struggle without eating also an act…?
>>81Kobori, you’re not always the hungry character, are you?!
Of course, I think curry tastes delicious when surrounded by a campfire.
I thought I would definitely step down and focus on directing, but what I got was something so unexpectedly off the wall!
When viewed as a player, they are properly the regular second baseman, so I won’t let emotions sway me to remove myself from the position.
There are no club members who can put the brakes on Kiriyama.
Yō-chan said that only Kobori can do it…
I think Kobori is suited for being a host.
I have a talent for introducing customers to bathhouses through romantic sales.
>>89In the first place, anything Kobori does will generally succeed.
>>89I want you to be a diplomat for the country.
Kobori is doing something that could really make readers dislike him if he gets the balance wrong with his approach, yet so far he is only being seen as interesting, which is impressive.
The theory is to give a character like Kobori a unique ability and design it in a way that makes you think, “It wouldn’t be the same without this character!”
…Oh, it’s not wrong or anything!
Even if we say we have a good lineup, we won’t make it to Koshien unless we defeat either Seiteru or the awakened Todoroki.
Leveling up is still a struggle, you know.
Kobori has a way of understanding people’s hearts, and he can empathize and get close to them, which is why he can also intentionally take actions that are the complete opposite—he’s a genuine psychopath, in a way.
Was the thing I was worried about really the jersey number?
Aren’t you really struggling with the script for the play after this?
Who said that Kobori would be benched?
>>101To be blunt, I couldn’t help but think, “What are these guys talking about? There’s no way their skills would drop.”
Taketsuchi-kun was such a serious and refreshing nice guy, so it’s sad to see him being made to do something like this…
Well, maybe the person themselves is also enthusiastic about it.
I almost forgot that Takeuchi-kun is really a serious, good person who is actually showing a different side this time.
>>105I thought it was a bit much to have a newcomer character get benched as a starter before I even read it, but…
Isn’t being short quite a high physical ability?
>>106In Japan, typically the second-best player takes on the role, or the best player doubles as a pitcher.
The back is crazy, but Taketouchi-kun in the front is also crazy.
What is the acting ability in the scene “Is it Inou? Is it me?”?
There was another villain besides Tsuruumi who suddenly opens a theater in a jump manga.
Kobori-kun possesses the dexterity of Furapeko and the wickedness of Gresham.♣
Ino has a relatively passionate monologue, but the teammates don’t know about that.
I’m generally provocative and people probably think, “Who is this guy?” Even if I’m chosen, it seems like there would be a lot of hate from those around me.
Hey, what’s this single illustration of the three horses popping up?
The last time a public school won in Kanagawa during the summer was in 1990 with Yokohama Commercial.
Yokohama Commercial is a special public school with facilities on par with prestigious private schools.
The last public school other than Yokohama Commercial was Tsurumi Industrial in 1954.
Kobori is mediocre, but his middle school teammates, who were well-known, seem to have the skills to be at least a villager equipped like a free-to-play player compared to Todoroki.
Takeuchi, it’s amazing that you can do this too.
Even if baseball doesn’t work out, it seems like talent might blossom in another area.
If you win about four prefectural qualifiers as a representative of the countryside, you’ll go to Koshien.
Prefectures like Kanagawa, Osaka, and Saitama are strong in baseball and have a large population.
How many times do I have to win… it’s going to be like that.
Moreover, there are private schools that are incredibly strong everywhere.
>>118Especially the hamasou probably has no seeds, right?
When I heard “Lieutenant Tsurumi from Golden Kamuy,” I was like, “Ahh!”
Kobori is acting like Lieutenant Tsurumi.
Inou’s knife skills and Kiryama eating a large serving of two pieces of tonkatsu curry.
The detailed descriptions are typical of the author, but it gets ruined in the end!
It can’t be said that statements claiming the regional qualifiers were tougher than Koshien are false, especially in competitive areas.
Being fired and being asked to perform for the theater are probably completely different in terms of the person’s motivation…
>>124No matter how, having a sense of contribution to the team brings satisfaction.
No, this is the worst.
It seems like I was just pretending to be troubled.
At first, there were only lively members with faces like old men, but now the general members have started to show some charm too.
Well, there will probably be talks about wanting to get involved to unite the team.
Absolutely, Takuechi will be crying and saying, “Ino! Do your best for me too!”
Inoue is surprisingly doing a pretty cute job as a junior.
>>132It’s cute how they act like they are hiding their efforts while actually promoting themselves.
It’s not the usual mob face like a Gabur person, so there might be a chance for Takeuchi-kun to make a reappearance.
Takeuchi-kun will certainly feel frustration as well.
Because I can objectively see my own abilities and understand Kobori, I seem to be getting on board quite enthusiastically.
Lieutenant Tsurumi in his youth.
I thought it might be good for the television industry to make some nice documentaries.
“I’m going to use this baseball club to make it to Koshien, but it’s way too obvious that I’m just casually making curry with everyone, Inou.”
Takeuchi-kun is refreshing!
I don’t think this is the reason or anything, but…
I hope Inou will exceed his own expectations and passionately devote himself to baseball and this team, even if it’s just for this year.
Next year, it’s okay if I’m not playing baseball.
Kobori is not performing in the theater to deceive people.
>>142By the way, about the opponent high school in the practice match…
>>145It started with Inō…
>>145It’s not that I’m trapping you, it’s just that I’m disrupting the coordination.
>>151It’s Inou who did it.
Ino practices running too.
It’s a good tactic that Taketake can still use Kiryama as a hidden card in the future.
By having Takeuchi support you when you’re feeling troubled or lost, you can bounce back.
This character suddenly emerged just to be notified of being cut from the team, yet everyone is still saying “Takeuchi, Takeuchi,” which makes me laugh a little.
>>146This is what it means for a character to be rich or strong in personality.
Although the appearance and character design are not particularly eccentric,
This time, although it’s necessary, I’ve already obtained approval from Takeuchi, and Kobori is definitely not the kind of person who would treat others rudely.
>>149Moreover, the fact that he is a hard worker is why Takeuchi was convinced…
Isn’t it a performance aimed at Sho-chan, like Ino?
They are more hard-working than anyone, have a strong following, and possess compassion, yet they can still make cruel choices!
Inou seems to be able to see through it, but considering the purpose of writing a book, it might be better to go along with it.
If we lose in a practice match, it’s over, and even though we experimented and won, it’s still crazy.
It’s great that the characters in the previous work and this one are sincere and refreshing in their feelings.
That being said, it’s also good to not be picky about the means.
Katanaruhodo-kun
A man who makes the most of every ingredient.
I told you earlier, but it feels so refreshing… I thought I might have been crying then, so I went back to check the pages and interpreted it as being overwhelmed during the actual event, then read on.
This guy…
The one who seems to resonate the most with the theater, more than Inou and Samba, is Kiriyama.
>>161I can imagine someone saying something like, “After all, someone like me shouldn’t bear this number…”
That side plank will definitely mess up your elbow.
I thought that the player from the last match might be just an ordinary kid, and since I believed I was going to let myself down, suddenly the Demon King appeared.
If Kiriyama acts out on the bench like in the Saint Tele match, he will be suspended.
That’s why I use Takeuchi like this to make them feel the weight of sitting on the bench.
It’s kind of striking that someone like me would… feel this way, Kiriyama…
I want to see the Kobori Theater up close.
It’s not a play directed at Kiriyama.
It’s too intense even though the preliminary rounds haven’t even started yet…
