Episode 10:

I Can't Have That


-Tsugawa and Kuroko talks-

Wakamatsu: … Huyyga, you can have Aomine. Let us have Kuroko.

Aomine: Huh? Wha-

Momoi: Tetsu-kun in Touou? Please do!

Aomine: Oi!


-Game resumes-

Kise: Kagamicchi is slow. I realized Kurokocchi was amazing during our first real game together! I just got into first string back then. That game wa-

Kasamatsu: Shut up, Kise!

Midorima: Just when they said that they won't let them have it, they easily got passed and dunked over.

Akashi: Quick thinking, Kuroko. As expected from my former pupil.


-Seirin wins-

Hayama: Dang, I thought that Tsuchida-senpai would at least get the last shot.

Kise: Ara? Kagamicchi, why didn't you join them? Don't tell me, you were jealous that Kurokocchi got to play?

Kagami: -grumbles- I was not.


-Post-game line-up-

Takao: … Did I just see Mitobe-san's mouth move? He was speaking, right? Hey, did you see that? I swear, if only you guys weren't being so loud, we could have solved this great mystery!

Midorima: What mystery?

Takao: Of course, it is the mystery of 'why Mitobe-san has a seiyuu even if he doesn't speak.' Do you think the producers are that generous that they'd pay for a seiyuu who has no speaking lines? Reality is harsh, man.

Midorima: … what are you talking about, Takao?


-Shuutoku game also finishes-

Takao: Shin-chan smiled. It's not the haughty-I-am-higher-than-you-fools smile, but the smile smile. I didn't know you could smile, Shin-chan. You always have that perpetual frown on your face. Maybe that's why you're not popular with girls.

Midorima: … you talk too much, Takao.


-team lockers-

Aomine: 'Saving his every last bit of energy,' my ass. -yawns- He's just sleeping.

Wakamatsu: And you're always lazing off! At least he played in the game.


-Midorima's monologue in the locker room-

Takao: Pfffft! Even in his thoughts, Shin-chan is too serious! I understand that horoscopes are your things, but really, nail care? Really, your lashes are already long, and you're into horoscopes and nail care. Coupled with your selfish requests and your tsundere-ness, you're starting to sound like a girl! Hahahaha!

Midorima: Shut-up, Takao! Oi, what are you doing? Where are you touching?!

Takao: Just checking if you didn't grow breasts overnight. -snickers-

Midorima: -vein pops- Oi!

Everyone: ...


-Before line-up-

Takao: Really, Shin-chan, why can't you be honest and say that you're glad to fight against Kuroko-kun? Just a little while ago, you were smiling. Then you're back to your grumpy self. You won't earn friends like that, Shin-chan.

Midorima: … shut up!

Akashi: Now now, don't drive away the only friend you have, Shin-chan.

Midorima: Akashi! Why are you joining in?!

Akashi: … tsk.

Takao: -snickers-


-After the line up, and before the game start-

Takao: … Oi, Kagami, what was that now, huh? That sounded so wrong. You badly want to do Shin-chan? This Shin-chan? Well, I won't question your tastes, choosing Shin-chan of all people, but he's still our Shin-chan, and we can't have our Ace-sama in a pinch. Having said that, you have to go through the whole team first if you wanna touch our Shin-chan!

Kagami: Huh? Wai-what? What did I do this time?

Akashi: Kagami... basically, you sounded like you want to f*ck Midorima... nanodayo.

Kagami: Whaaaaaat?!

Midorima: -Blanches-

Mibuchi: … It doesn't help that Midorima was acting like a girl PMSing on her boyfriend.

Kagami: -White as sheet-

Akashi: … -frowns- 'no one noticed it.'


-Seirin almost scored the first point-

Akashi: I am sensing a pattern here... Every time Seirin thinks they've scored, it will turn out to be a fluke.

Kuroko: … Please keep those kinds of observation to yourself, Akashi-kun.


-Kuroko passes from one end of the court to another-

Akashi: Kuroko, you could really summon that gust of wind?

Kuroko: ...


-Ending song, special frame-

Kimura: Ootsubo and Miyaji are there... shouldn't I be there instead of Takao?

Everyone: … 'poor guy'


-Preview-

Akashi: … that was interesting nanodayo.

Takao: You said so, nanodayo.

Midorima: Stop imitating me!

Akashi: But it's interesting, nanodayo.

Midorima: … this is all your fault, Takao!

Takao: -snickers-

PBJane: The thing about Midorima and Kagami might be a little hard to get for those who are not familiar with Nihonggo. Basically, Midorima refused to talk to someone 'pathetic' (a.k.a. Kagami), and so Kagami said this: "...I've got tons of pent-up frustration, so let's do this already..." Kagami's 'Hayaku yarou ze' sounds pretty suggestive, especially with how he said it. 'Yaru', or its presumptive form 'Yarou' plainly means 'let's do it', but it could also mean 'let's have sex' depending on the context.
