Water Boys 2 (ウォーターボーイズ２)

Summer for high school seniors

is a special time.

It seems brighter than other summers.

It goes by faster than other summers.

And soon it will be time to leave.

Summer 2004

Our summer began when he transferred.

Ouch!

I'm sorry.

Excuse me. Sorry.

Hello, grandpa. I just arrived.

I'm sorry I couldn't come last night.

My luggage should arrive by the end of the day.

I'll go to school first and then head over there.

Ok, see ya.

What's up with this map?

The main places aren't even marked.

I'm trying to get to Himeno High School.

Students use that road to go to and from school. You can just follow them as they go.

Got it. Thanks.

Sorry about that.

Himeno High School

A new one has arrived.

Clarinet 399,000 yen

Wait up!

I'm not a suspicious guy.

I'm just trying to get to Himeno High.

You should have told me that!

My bad.

Otome-sensei, good morning!

It's NOT Otome. It's Saotome!

Nope, sounds like Otome to us!

Good morning.

I have a favor to ask...

I want to start a boy's sports club.

Boy's basketball, eh?

Well, you tried to start a baseball, soccer and volleyball club but nobody came...

But...

If you want to start a club, get enough guys together and then turn this in.

Then how about a swimming club?

Swimming?

In swimming even if it is just one person then they can still practice and compete.

Are you kidding me?!

We don't need a bunch of naked guys running around the school.

Just thinking about it gives me the creeps!

Our school's pool is closed anyways.

And we don't have a coach for that.

If that's the case then I'll do it.

Saotome-sensei??

You might not believe me but I was on a swimming team.

Well, but it was more like this though.

That reminds me. Our new transfer student is from a school that is famous for its swimming team.

Just as I thought.

He's from Aoba High in Tokyo.

Are you serious, principal?

Oh! And he WAS on the swimming team.

So you're a transfer student.

Why transfer now?

Oh.. that.. I don't wanna talk about it.

Switch! Your bike. I'll take it!

My bike, please.

Wa-wait a sec!

Ah, this sucks.

Saotome-sensei!

Gan-chan! Good morning!

Here is the selection of Heine poems you let me borrow.

Thank you.

What are you doing?

Well, we are starting a swimming team.

A swimmer from Aoba High in Tokyo is transferring here today.

Aoba High School?

If I remember right, they are a top academic school that sends many students to Todai.

-That's right -Really?

So not only are they strong swimmers but smart too!

Looks like it's all girls, huh?

Don't walk alongside me.

Up until 3 years ago it was an all-girl's school.

So 90 percent of the students are female.

Oh, is that so...

I think you'd better not get too excited.

A transfer student from Tokyo?

That's cool, isn't it??

What's so cool about it?

No one is as cool as you are though, Sano.

You even go to Tokyo once a month to hang out.

Twice.

Why is a guy like him coming to our school at a time like this?

Haven't thought about that. I wonder...

Hey! Hey! Check it out!

Those two badasses from the tech school are covered in mud and all beat up!

Man, whoever dropped those punks must be some kind of a guy!

-Are you sure, Senichi? -Of course I'm sure!

That's probably the new transfer student.

Transfer student?

Ah, so he was too much trouble for a prep school like Aoba and had to transfer here.

That's probably it. That's why.

A great student and swimmer... and to top it all off he even kicks some butt!

Hey! Wait up a minute!

What am I supposed to do with this?

Your bike! What about it? Hey! What about it?!

Hey, who is that guy?

That's him.

Cool...

Hello.

That was a summer we would never forget.

Translated by Kinzaru with the help of Yuko, without whom neither this sub nor my life would be complete.

Sappy, ain't it??

Many thanks to tianj, seeders, original timers, rippers and anyone who had anything to do with the ep before it got to me.

Our new transfer student from Tokyo's Aoba High School has arrived. This is Eikichi Mizushima.

Even his name sounds manly.

Now then, your appearance...

At my old school we wore regular clothes.

Tomorrow I'll dress correctly.

Ok, that's fine.

Well, there are some open seats over there.

Yes, ma'am.

I am sure many things will be confusing at first, so everyone please show him the ropes.

Yes, ma'am.

Ok, that's it for morning homeroom.

Nice to meet you. I'm Kozue Kitagawa.

If you want, you can use this.

Thanks.

Um, nevermind.

A distinguished prep school, right? Which one was it?

I don't really want to talk about my old school.

He must have caused a lot of trouble.

Um, I am known as Yosuke Yamamoto.

If there is anything at all that you don't understand then please come and talk to me.

Also, if it pleases you, you may have anything you like here.

What's with the formality?

No, um, it's just that what happened to you earlier...

Ah, don't mind him.

This guy is just a natural-born follower.

He's right.

Anyways, what happened to you?

Well...

Yowasuke!

You are worrying about this transfer student more than my cutlet sandwich...

I brought it.

This is a croquette sandwich.

Why the hell are you like this, Yowasuke?

Come back with the right one.

I said come back with the right one.

If you are going to talk like that, you should just go buy it yourself.

Huh?

It's yours. You should go buy it.

What?

Did I say something strange...

Ok, everyone take your seat.

Let's start class.

-Begin. -Stand up.

You are some kind of guy for standing up to Bakayo.

Bakayo?

Ohba Kayo or "Bakayo."

She's school president and captain of female athletics.

Make an enemy out of her and you make an enemy out of all the girls.

So that's how it is?

I am so sorry to interrupt your conversation.

I was really moved by what happened earlier.

You see someone in trouble and you rush to help them.

Eikichi, you are truly a savior!

Well, first of all, could you stop the formality?

Eh, is that ok, Eikichi-san??

Oh, I mean, Eikichi.

Well, shall we go then?

No, I mean, let's go. Let's go.

Isn't this going too far?

You should definitely talk to him.

What is this place?

This used to be the observatory. Now it's "Boy's Town."

Come on.

Eat this, Eikichi.

It's from my parent's bakery.

Thank you.

You don't have to eat in a humid place like this though.

We have no choice. The classrooms, rooftop and lawn are all spots for the girls.

But what about that guy?

Ah, Gan-chan, your bracelet is so cute!

Is it a beads handicraft?

Yes, shall I make you one next time?

Yeah, make me one!

Gan-chan is a special case.

He's student council secretary and one of Bakayo's underlings.

So he is treated like a girl.

It's the student-council president!

Hey, Mizushima...

I need to talk to you a minute, ok?

Me?

Since you have just transferred and don't know any better, let me give you a piece of advice...

He'll be okay, right?

Someone's being hit?

Got it.

Check it out.

Nasty!

Bakayo is bowing to him.

Just as I thought, Eikichi's our saviour!

The clubs are only for girls too, huh?

It's ok, it's ok. We'll definitely start up the swim team.

Cause you were a freestyle swimmer on the Aoba swim team, right?

What are you talking about?
