VIDEO: Tatarigoroshi-hen | TIP 4: The Slacking Manager
BGM: Silence
SFX: Higurashi
"Well, you see, at times like these, here's what people say. Ahem—it's none of your business."
"Ahahahahahahaha."
He was loading the station wagon with heaps of equipment we'd used for today's barbecue meeting.
All the fathers and sons who had helped were starting to get on their way.
"...All right. So, Shion-san... Why did you come all the way here? If you rode here on your bike, I can give you a lift."
"I did, but I'll be fine riding back. I appreciate your consideration."
"......I was glad you came today. Things don't quite fit together without the manager here."
"All right. If you say you want to quit, then I'll fire you whenever you want."
"...Grr. That's not fair.”
“.........Let me go soon, please? Every time I don't show up at a game, I get an annoying phone call, and I can't stand those."
"If you were more honest with yourself, Shion-chan, you'd be far cuter. Your father is so sad—where did he go so wrong as to deserve such a rebellious daughter? Oh, perhaps if your father catches you in a big, loving embrace, you'll open your eyes?! Well then, don't mind if I do!! Come here~~~♪♪♪"
...Coach was fooling around with all his might, but Shion just smiled into the distance without responding.
"...Even though Satoshi-kun isn't here. ...Is that what you wanted to say?"
"............"
"He'll come home. I'm sure of it. He has someone waiting for him."
"......Hmph. ...Say whatever you want."
"He sure is cruel, isn't he?
Going off to who knows where, leaving such a cute girlfriend behind."
"Heh?! G-G-Girlfriend?! Who?! Who?! ...Huh?!"
"Pfft... hu hu hu, ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
"...Pff... geez! Quit laughing already!! Coooach!!"
"Ha ha ha! Wahh ha ha ha!!"
Coach bent over and laughed heartily for a little while...
"If I feel like it. ...I have no desire to be the manager anymore, after all."
"...That's fine. If you don't like it, I'll fire you. I'm not the kind of person who likes forcing people to do things against their will."
"..................Grr. Okay, fine, fine! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! You win this round. If I feel like it I'll come root for you, so for today, just be patient."
"Hu hu hu! Whoops, that time already? It's past time to return all this...! I'm already making them wait for me! I'll be leaving for today, then! Let's meet again at the next game!"
"Yes, if I feel like it. Good-bye, Coach."
