Episode 112 Formation, Animals

What’s the use of complaining?

Since it has become clear that not only Claudia, but also Maximilian Weaver and Eric Koehler, as well as the boys, have changed course, I try to cover up the harsh reality.

“Yeah, well. Not bad. Not the worst. He’s from Africa, you know. I think he has a lot of potential.”

“Me? Is that so?”

Even if the party’s confidence is at rock bottom… … it’s okay.

I need a pack of beasts, whether I want them or not. Even if you say you can’t do it, I’ll just raise you like that.

“Well then. If we’re talking about movie heroes, I guess you could say he plays the role of a panther. The black panther of Liberia.”

“… … You know that expression sounds extremely racist, right?”

“No way. I’m a bright yellow tiger right now.”

“… … .”

Sophie Hertz’s meddling is met with a clean slate.

Jonas Dr also became interested and asked the question.

“That’s interesting. What about Weiss?”

“Because he’s from Poland… … .”

What’s in Poland?

All I know about Poland is that it got caught between Germany and the Soviet Union during World War II and got beat up, and that the German Chancellor got on his knees.

“… …An ordinary person who seems ordinary but is not ordinary?”

“… … Isn’t that just a citizen? What kind of hero is that?”

“I’m a deadly beggar because I’m hiding my identity.”

Oh, I almost shook a little.

In times like this, it’s a good idea to just admit it and move on.

“Actually, I don’t know much about Poland.”

But then this damn otaku suddenly lost his temper.

“Why don’t you know? Poland is also an IP powerhouse. They have some really famous games-”

“IP? You mean the IP address you use when you use a computer? Does that help? Is it possible to hack into something?”

“Not network IP! IP in the content field!”

“Oh, sorry. I don’t know much about animation.”

“It’s based on a novel!”

“… … .”

Novels or animations.

Please, don’t destroy my world view.

I’m saying that my mental strength is already weak.

“Ahem, anyway. Then what about me?”

“you?”

“Of course I should be included. I brought all of them together, so why are you leaving me out?”

“… … .”

“… … .”

shit.

I can’t do this anymore.

Until recently, there was a lot of talk about what the school trends were, what kind of performance the band was preparing, when the track team was going to compete, and so on.

We’ve been talking about topics that are moderately interesting and a bit sly (especially when it comes to exercise), but today I’m… … the otaku boss.

He tried to gather the beasts, but the only ones who responded were a short antelope (Morsi) and a plump raccoon (Lisa Weiss).

As if things weren’t bad enough, the only person who could help would be the most ordinary of ordinary people – Sophie Hertz.

Her eyes were so cold that even her teeth couldn’t fit in.

“… … But why did you come?”

“I want to talk.”

“Oh really? What’s the story?”

iced coffee.

Is my half-and-half face finally working?

Sophie Hertz is admired by boys her age thanks to her natural looks, but she has a somewhat shy personality.

“You haven’t returned your books for months?”

“… … Could it be Werther, that?”

“I know. Other kids should read it too, but you’ve been keeping it for months. If you’re not going to read it, return it quickly.”

“… … .”

“And I’ll just say a few more things. Don’t you know, Lisana? If you seduce innocent children and do strange things, I won’t let you off easy. Remember that.”

Let’s put aside our feelings of being single for a moment.

Look at this.

From the sharp tone of voice, to the fingers raised to the chest, to the fierce gaze, to the aura rippling around the body.

Come to think of it, there was a beast right next to me… … no.

There was a wild beast hiding.

“I’ll keep that in mind. But if you’re going to ask me for something, you have to give me something in return.”

“……you-”

“You too.”

“……what?”

“Come join my friends list.”

“… … .”

okay.

This guy is a real beast.

Just a glance can make Jonas Dr scared.

“Oh, I guess I’ll just go fight now. It’s been a while since I’ve held someone’s hair in my hands.”

“… … Do you think Bridget will just sit back and watch?”

“I’ll probably get called in by the principal, after I’m completely done with this.”

“You really… … don’t you know, Lisa. You shouldn’t hang out with him either.”

This is what a battle of momentum is like.

Making the other person evade by using threats that they find absurd.

Besides, it was almost certain that the two girls would take my side.

“… … I helped Hanul before. Even though we can’t fight together, I’ll stick by your side!”

“Hmm, thank you. I knew you were a good person. That’s why I helped you.”

“huh!”

As expected, Lisa Weiss is confirmed.

Even if you don’t know, it’s not that different.

“Hey, that… … . I also want to be close with Hanul. At the last bazaar, my mom and I made food and she enjoyed it too… … .”

“Don’t you know! He’s just trying to use you!”

“… … Is that so?”

So I just shake my head and it’s over.

“Well, I just see it as a difference of opinion. As Professor Capel said, history is interpreted differently depending on the perspective. Sophie saw my request as a calculated one, but I just want to start a new relationship. I don’t think I’ll make any unreasonable demands. If you thought it was going to be a fight or something, then you’re very mistaken.”

“Don’t call me by my name. Call me Hertz. And misunderstanding? Misunderstanding?”

“Then it’s a misunderstanding. If you really don’t believe me, then you can just accept my offer. You can come in yourself and monitor me to make sure I’m not doing anything else.”

“… … .”

“I’m not asking for anything too much. I only take morning classes, so all I can do is gather during break time and chat. Oh, and it would be nice if you could help me return the books as well.”

“… … .”

Not surprisingly, victory is mine.

It was an offer Sophie Hertz could not dare refuse.

At first glance, my life is like that of a firefighter.

When a fire breaks out, we quickly pour water on it, but just as we are finally able to put out the fire, another fire breaks out somewhere else.

It was all like this at home, at school, and at the club.

Although the urgent fire was put out by creating a new group at Kimnasium, it was difficult to say that the atmosphere in the training center was good.

“Hello, Tag (short for lunch greeting, Guten Tag).”

“hi.”

“Are you trying to enter the main building?”

“Yeah, I’m thinking of stopping by the third floor for a bit. Why? What’s going on?”

“Oh, it’s not like I have anything to do… … .”

I briefly exchanged greetings with Ulche, the kit man (equipment manager). I read the hesitation on his face and pressed him for an answer.

“Why? What? I don’t like being dragged out. Just tell me straight.”

“Steffen is interviewing players.”

“Could it be a gorilla?”

“… … You too, Modeste.”

He shook his head as if he couldn’t stop himself, but let out a hollow laugh, and my attention was already turned to the upper floor of the main building.

“Do you know why I called you?”

“What is that… … .”

“Don’t be so upset. I always buy you chocolates.”

“You usually take care of me a lot. But it’s not like you don’t know. To be exact, it’s something related to you. You two played a game together.”

“You started doing it but then stopped?”

“I know that without you saying it. Your face is fine-”

“Oh! If we fight, I’ll win. He’s an animal and I’m a human. I know how to use tools!”

“If you want to defeat a gorilla, you probably won’t need just any tool, right?”

“… … .”

Why is Iljin like this today?

Jonas Drdo and even Kit Man, who has built up a positive image so far, are really aggressive.

“Anyway, if you’re going to see the director, wait a bit and then go in.”

“Why me? I am innocent. I did nothing wrong.”

“But mediation is necessary. There’s no need to face each other while the grudge is still unresolved, right? Or are you going to play like this until the next match? Hanul, I don’t think that’s a good thing for you either.”

“… … Did you happen to read a philosophy book today? You’re very persuasive.”

“Hahaha, good luck. I have to go now.”

Ulche lets out a loud laugh and walks into the side entrance of the main building, and I take a moment to collect my thoughts and head to the third floor.

While the second floor is divided into various uses, such as the administrative team offices, power analysis room, and conference room, leaving no room to set foot, the third floor is different from the moment you get off the elevator.

Main ?┸〈? There was a sofa, a TV, and a glass table, and through the glass, the youth, second-team, and first-team training grounds could be seen at a glance.

Unobstructed view.

Is this what they call a view?

Anyway, I took the advice of the club’s informant and soon I was lying down on the sofa. Ten or twenty minutes passed by and there was no sign of it ending.

It’s time for the gorilla to come out and waddle.

The training ground scenery quickly became like a boring picture, tickling my butt as it changed from familiarity to boredom.

That was when.

My eyes were drawn to the table.

[FC Köln only manage to get one point from Greuther Fürth. Red light for competition for top spot.]

[While the goats are making noise, is Anthony Modeste looking at the summer transfer market?]

[Elies Schiri, in the middle of a transfer saga, linked with Borussia Dortmund, AC Milan, Sevilla]

The newspaper pile was divided into two distinct categories.

On the left are local Cologne newspapers and friendly media outlets, on the right are external media outlets including Kicker.

A quick look reveals that while friendly media outlets were somewhat restrained in their criticism of the draw at Greuther Fürth, outside media outlets were nothing more than rumor generators.

Modeste is leaving?

This isn’t bad, but the news of Skiri leaving is crossing the line.

Swish.

But it’s true that I’m bored, so I take out the newspapers buried underneath and look at them.

[Seong Ha-neul, officially requested to be called up by the KFA. He will be called up to the Korean national team at the end of March and will play in the final World Cup qualifier against Iran.]

Oh my.

I’d love to hear only positive news like this. But still, it seems like a good way to relieve boredom.

Turn your head to the left for a sweet taste.

[Steffen Baumgart dismisses rumours of internal conflict, saying ‘Cologne players are united towards the same goal’.]

If you turn to the right –

[Lothar Matthaus criticizes the easing of the age limit for debuting in the Bundesliga. ‘Seong Ha-neul doesn’t know how to handle his emotions. Dortmund’s Moukoko is no different, and such an early debut will have negative effects on both the Bundesliga and the players in the long run.’]

… … What are you saying?
