Shizuku Ep. 5: Overcoming Weakness

You practice volleyball with Shizuku so that maybe she can overcome her lack of skill at ball games. Can she do it?

Ai

So you look like this from practicing?!

Player

My wrist is throbbing…

Kanata

Do you want a cold compress? I can get some from the nurse's office.

Kasumi

You're just planning on taking a nap there, aren't you?

Player

*Sigh* Karin, Shizuku took what you told her the other day seriously, you know.

Karin

*Giggle* Sorry. It wasn't all made up, though. There are a lot of exercise routines that have you relax and wiggle your body.

Player

Oh, really? But exercise routines… Either way, I don't think that was even an answer to what she had asked you.

Shizuku

I'm sorry. I'm so useless that your wrist ended up getting hurt. I think I'll just hide in the corner of the court during the tournament.

Setsuna

Shizuku, no giving up! As long as you don't give up, possibilities are endless! We'll help you out, so let's work on this volleyball thing together!

Ai

The only thing to do is drill! Hit, hit, hit! Set, set, set! Do it a thousand times and you'll definitely get the hang of it!

Ayumu

One thousand times?! She'll be completely broken by then.

Shizuku

Well, Ai's method may be the most certain for success. We recite lines and memorize the flow of conversation to prepare for plays, also.

Rina

Hey, then why don't you put on a play?

Player

Rina, what are you talking about?

Rina

You're good at acting, right? Then why don't you just act like a pro volleyball player?

Shizuku

I see! That's a very nice idea, Rina!

[Fade in/out.]

Shizuku

Serve, spike, toss!

Player

Wow. You're moving so much more fluidly than before.

[Fade in/out.]

Kasumi

That's just how she moves. Who knows what she'll be like with a ball in her hands? It looks like she watched a bunch of videos of pro players and copied their style.

Ai

Okay, Shizuku! Try taking my finest attack!

Shizuku

I'm ready!

Ai

Here goes! Hiiiiiiiiiiiya!

Emma

Whoa, that was loud!

Rina

No holding back! Can Shizuku take it?!

[Fade in/out.]

Shizuku

I'm a pro volleyball player, with over a hundred wins under my belt…

[Fade in/out.]

Shizuku

Ambf!

Everyone

Ah…

[Fade in/out.]

Setsuna

Oh, Shizuku! You took the ball right to the very lifeblood of your school idolness, your face!

Kasumi

I thought this might happen.

Player

Shizuku! Keep it together!
