Major S5

Hello, who is it?

Hey Chiharu! I told you not to answer the phone, didn't I?

It's Chiharu! Hello! Hello!

Hello, you've reached the Shigeno residence.

Goro nii-chan!

Even given the current condition, when we take the positive law from the ancient times...

I have no idea of what he's talking about...

I hope we'll finish a bit early.

And there aren't any club activities today... I'm so bored.

Really, is there anything you like beside softball?

W-What's wrong with that?

Nothing...

Hmm, a text from Taiga? That's rare.

Look like Shigeno has returned I just had to tell my sister who has no interest whatsoever in men

Episode 105 Once Again

Hey, Kaoru! What's up?

Sorry! I'm skipping the next classes!

Honda's back!

Do you best! And don't you dare forget about your promise about the first autograph!

Yeah!

Oh, crap! I forgot to put it in silent mode!

Yes,hello?

Taiga?

Oh, it's you? What's up?

Uh, about your text... Is it true that Honda's come back?

Yeah, it's true.

Apparently he called Yamada-sensei to tell him that he was back in Japan.

Oh, I see...Anything else? Did you hear anything about his plans for now?

well, first , he said he will start doing his solo training again soon but he said he'll show his face at the baseball club first.

I,see...

What's wrong? If you're so interested in what he's doing, why don't you go directly to his house?

Well, you do want to see him don't you? So why don't you go right now?

T-That...

Why don't you go and kiss him, huh?

That's not it at all!

Well, well, she's a bit too old to still be playing the pure and innocent virgin...

It's somewhat irritating, but I'll give it a try.

I wonder if he's here.

Ah no, he just came home today...

It's probably a good idea if I just let him be alone with his family.

No, that's no good, I'd better just go jome.

Beside, why should I come and meet him?

Oh, it's you Shimizu!

Ah, ma'am! I'm sorry I haven't contacted you for so long

It's been a while, yes...So how is it going at the University?

Uh...yes,well...hm, well I'm really into the softball club and also into goukon, and of course I don't have any boyfriend.

I-I didn't need that many details, but...

He's here you know, Goro.

He arrived this morning,so I think he's still sleeping because of the jet lag.

oh, I see ,Then I'll come another time--

Can you wait a moment?

I think I can get him out of bed and on his feet if I tell him that you came to see him.

Ah, no! Don't...

That's strange...

I'm sorry, it seems he left without leaving a note.

I wonder where to...

And since he just came back, he doesn't have a cell phone yet.

I'm sorry you had to come for nothing.

It's okay, I'll come again.

But where did he go?

Maybe he went to see Tashiro or Fuji, or even Komori?

Maybe he wanted to meet with Toshiya-kun now that he's a pro?

In any case, he didn't come to see me.

He's not here either.

Well,I supposed it was to be expected, now that he's a pro, he wouldn't want to come here.

Oh?Id that you, Shimizu?

Komori!

So Honda-kun's back, huh?

Yeah, so I went right over to his place to meet him, but he wasn't there.

I want to see him,too. He's making quite the triumphant return, huh?

If he plays in the Majors next year, I'm sure he'll become a star right away.

Of course that makes happy, but somehow I feel like he's getting even bigger and slipping farther away.

Well, then...maybe I should go and challengeGibson... As if...

Oh, by the way, Shimizu-san, don't you think the first place Honda would want to go as soon as he's back in Japan might be...

See you later dad, I'll come back.

shimizu!

W-What a coincidence!

Liar! What are you doing here?

Uh... Well... Komori said you might be here and...

Sorry

I realized it was not really polite to interrupt you while you were paying respect to your father...

Ugly?Well, you're not the most beautiful, but you shouldn't say that about yourself!

I didn't say that!

Oh,uh... Then... It's all right. Well since you're here, come and meet my dad!

Are you sure?

Yeah, my dad will like that.

So, are you all right?

I've been following your performance on the internet and sports magazines.

It looks like you'll be promoted to the majors next year, right?

Who knows.

The front office guys at the Hornets decided to postpone my promotion when they heard about how

I prioritized the Minors championship by pretending to be injured.

So instead, before going to the Majors,I was asked to participate in the Arizona Fall Season League

I think I got their attention now...

Somehow I feel like he's getting even bigger and slipping farther away.

Oh, right!

On my way back, I wanted to come by your place to give you this!

I couldn't think of a really tasteful souvenir to bring you.

That's the ball from the game where I got my first save with the Bats.

You said you'd like my autograph last summer's festival, right? So...

Thank you.

Wonder how fast I'll get a premium on it?

You want to sell it!?

Ah, what a feast that was!

Man, that was good! Especially after eating hamburgers and sandwiches almost every day over there.

Nothing compares to Japanese meals!

What you mean of course is "nothing compares to your Mom's Japanese meals", right?

Yes that's it.

Hey Shingo, don't leave the tomatoes Mom made you!

She just cut them!

Oh, you're back Goro!

You look healthy!

Pa-Papa!

You're hanging in there. I never thought you would progress this much in just one year...

Well, I was lucky...

And next year, the Majors at last!

Yeah, I'm starting to see Gibson's back now.

Oh yeah, Father... who won the Championship this year?

Did Toshiya or Mayumura become regulars?

What? You mean you don't know?

This year, I didn't have much time to pay attention to the Japanese baseball news...

I see. You can take a look at the details yourself, on the computer.

Uh? On the computer?

What, don't tell me you can't use one?

What's wrong with that?

shingo, why don't you show your brother how to use the computer?

no problem.

Thanks.

Come on, Goro nii-chan!

me too

Okay, Chiharu you're coming too!

So he didn't have the time, huh?

No wonder he performed that well.

So you just have to input the word you want to look up here.

Wow, that's great! You're a genius, aren't you?

It's just common sense!

Chiharu, let's go downstairs yo play.

What about Goro nii-chan?

Later! oh!

The first victory for the Tokyo Warriors in two years?

So the Oceans are in last place or something? That's lame!

Mayumura, with an ERA of 2.78 is in the top five of the whole league!

With 11 wins and 8 losss, he's the best of Yokohama!

Which means he got the Rookie of the Year title?

Well, that's not that surprising,I suppose.
