I decided to add this short conversation after reading about your love for this captain in the comments. :)
(I wish Nijimura had more screen-time :( )
Akashi: Hello, Nijimura-san. I apologize for the sudden message. Happy birthday, from myself and my girlfriend.
Nijimura: Oh, well if it isn't Akashi. It's been a while.
Nijimura: Thanks. Is that you bragging about your relationship status?
Akashi: No, she asked me to send her best to you.
Nijimura: So, Akashi's finally got himself a girlfriend, huh? What's she like? Do I know her?
Akashi: She transferred to Teikō from America after you graduated. We've been together for almost three years. I can't ask for anyone better.
Nijimura: Whew, sounds like you're really into her. Is she a year younger then?
Akashi: No, we're the same age, but we go to high school in different prefectures now.
Nijimura: Hmm. Guess it must be tough to be apart like that. Well, she does seem interesting, being your girlfriend and all.
Akashi: She's mesmerizing, elegant and thoughtful. I'd also say she's very dignified. She's talented as a sports club manager, as well.
Nijimura: Sounds like quite a catch. Good for you.
Akashi: Thank you, although it's her who chose to be with me.
Nijimura: She's so great that even you'd lose your confidence, huh? Ok, ok, I get it. You got an amazing girlfriend. Introduce me to her someday, yeah?
Akashi: Yes, sir. She and I will look forward to seeing you the next time you return to Japan.
