KISE’S STORYLINE
EPISODE 4: THIS IS A VALUABLE OPPORTUNITY
Chapter 1
[location: outside a building]
Kasamatsu: I’m pretty sure they told us to meet up around here…
Kise: Ah! The Shuutoku guys are over there! Midorimaaaaacchiiiii!!
Midorima: …
Kise: Let’s have fun today!
Midorima: Yeah…
Kaijou members: (Midorima… Such indifference…!)
Kise: So we’re practicing outdoors today! The sunlight is so blinding…!
Midorima: Yeah.
Kise: Ah! How ‘bout we all race each other to the court?
Midorima: … I’ll pass.
Kobori: Even though they’re both first years, they behave in completely different ways.
Kasamatsu: Our only first year is Kise, but he makes up for it by being excessively noisy.
Ootsubo: Well, look at that guy…
Takao: Gyaha! The gap between Kise and Shin-chan’s reactions is just too much! But I’ll pass on the race too, since we’re starting practice right after. Oh yeah! I just remembered this after seeing your face Kise. I was buying trading cards the other day, and there was this S-Rare character card that looked just like you! *babbles on and on*
Kise: Ehhh?! That card’s definitely the strongest one then!
Midorima: …
Takao: Wrong! It’s the contrary! Even though it’s S-Rare, its attack power is suuuuper low! And the skills are weak too! It’s seriously not as good as it looks! *rambles on and on*
Kise: What~?! Why do I feel like I’m being dissed too…
Midorima: …
Ootsubo: With Takao talking for three people’s worth, Midorima’s quietness doesn’t have much weight.
Kasamatsu: Yeah, seems so…
Takao: Gyaha…! Kise’s feeling really down now!
Kise: I-It’s not like I care for real!
Takao: Oh and that’s not all! There was also a card that looked just like Shin-chan!
Midorima: … *twitch*
Takao: The card itself is not very powerful, but it comes with a skill that allows it to become the strongest when you give it an item to hold!
Kise: Eeehhh! That’s exactly like Midorimacchi!
Takao: Right right! The weirder the item, the stronger he gets, uhyahyahya…
Midorima: … *expression darkens*
Takao: Eh, Shin-chaaan?
Midorima: You two… ARE SO ANNOYING WHEN PUT TOGETHER!!! *yelling*
Shuutoku members: (Midorima snapped…!!!)
Chapter 2
[location: outdoor court]
Ootsubo: Alright, let’s do some stretches before starting practice.
Kasamatsu: Do them diligently, all of you!
Everyone: Yes!!
[some time later]
Takao: Oneeee, twoooo…! Doing the split is plain but pretty harsh!
Midorima: … *trembling*
Takao: Pwaha! Shin-chan, your legs are barely open!
Midorima: … Flexibility exercices are not something you can do forcibly.
Miyaji: Hey, don’t tell me Midorima’s lucky item for today is actually vinegar!
Kimura: I’ve heard that drinking vinegar can make your body supple.
Midorima: … *sudden movement*
Takao: Gaaaahhhhh!! Stop stop, Shin-chan! You’re not planning on drinking that for real, are you?! Hey, so you do mind about your lack of flexibility after all…!
Midorima: … I’m just joking, Takao.
Takao: Nope… Your eyes were serious just now. ... But wow, Kimura-san is amazing!
Miyaji: Woah, you snapped your legs open just like that! Are you an invertebrate animal or what?!
Kimura: … *satisfied smile* All I did was practice some pro wrestling techniques.
Miyaji: Just how much do you like pro wrestling…
Takao: Ehhh?! You even practice the techniques? Not basketball ones, but pro wrestling?!
Ootsubo: It’s true that practicing those would probably make your body more flexible but…
Midorima: … *sudden movement*
Takao: Gaaaahhhhh!! Why are you subtly trying to compete with him, Shin-chan?! And you don’t need to drink that vinegar…!!!
[meanwhile]
Kise: Uwaaah! Kimura-san is so flexible…! Kasamatsu-senpai, Kasamatsu-senpai! Isn’t that awesome?!
Kasamatsu: Hah?
Kise: Look at that! Like wham and whoosh, look! It’s amazing!!
Kasamatsu: Do you wanna do that too? Alright, I’ll give you a hand!
Kise: Ehh…?! Ow, ouch… Not the Boston crab hooooooooold!!
[meanwhile]
Midorima: … *sudden movement*
Takao: Gaaaahhhhh!! But why are you turning this into a competition?!
Kimura: I’m not going to lose just yet!
Chapter 3
Kasamatsu: Okay, now members from both schools will be selected to play 3-on-3 games against each other. I’ve received a list of matchups from the coaches. Here it is…!
Everyone: Oooohhhh…??!!
Kise: A 3-on-3 between the third years right off the bat…?!
Hayakawa: Awesome!!
Takao: Now that’s something we don’t get to see often! Right, Shin-chan?
Midorima: Yeah. This is a valuable opportunity.
Kasamatsu: Alright then… Let’s get started!
[some time later]
Kise & Takao: Woaaaaahhhhh!!
Kise: Ootsubo-san has so much power!
Takao: And Kobori-san is terrifying too! It’s like everyone’s on fire!
Hayakawa: Yeah!
Kise: This gives me the itch to play too! Oh yeah! At a time like this we should cheer them on. Let’s see…
[branching choices]
A. Cheer Kobori on
B. Cheer Kasamatsu on
C. Cheer Moriyama on
Kise: Kasamatsu-senpaaaai! Your drive is amazing! It’s super miraculous and hyper and energetic, you’ll whoosh right into girls’ hearts!
Kasamatsu: Hah?! What does that even mean?!
Kise: Cheering like this from the side of the court is a fresh experience for me!
Takao: If it’s cheering, I’m not going to lose either. This is how I do it…
Chapter 4
Kise: Cheering like this from the side of the court is a fresh experience for me!
Takao: If it’s cheering, I’m not going to lose either. This is how I do it… Miyaji-saaaaan! Please dedicate your next basket to Miyu-Miyu!
Miyaji: … To Miyu-Miyu?! If it’s for her, then…!
[Miyaji sinks a shot]
Takao: Nice shot!!
Miyaji: (Ugh… I got too excited…! It’s not like Miyu-Miyu is actually looking at me…)
Kise: I see… You cheer for people using their interests! Okay then, I’ll do it that way too! Moriyama-senpaaaaaaaai!!
Takao: Ohh?! What are you gonna say?
Kise: If you make the next shot, you’ll become extreeeemely popular with girls!!
Moriyama: Wha…?! That’s my purpose for living…!
[Moriyama sinks a shot]
Kise: Nice shot!!
Moriyama: Fufu… I made it! *(⌯¤̴̶̷̀ω¤̴̶̷́)✧*
Takao: Miyaji-san has his unique brand of motivation, but Moriyama-san is quite something too! Hey, you should cheer for them too, Shin-chan!
Midorima: …
Hayakawa: Mo[r]iyama-senpaaaaaai, one more!!
Takao: Look, like Hayakawa-san!
Midorima: Shut up, Takao! I was just about to do it. … Senpai, please do your best. *mumbles*
Takao & Kise: …… Eh?
Midorima: … What?
Takao: … Say, Shin-chan… Your voice is way too soft… Pfft!
Midorima: … You’re the one who told me to do it!
Kise: It’s so rare for Midorimacchi to cheer for people. Even though we could barely hear you!
Midorima: It doesn’t change the thought behind it!
Takao: Oh well, you’re right.
Hayakawa: Me too, I’ll chee[r] with all my hea[r]t! Mo[r]iyama-senpaaaaaaai!! Do you[r] beeeeest!
Kise: Oh! Alright, me too me too! Kasamatsu-senpaaaaai! Kobori-senpaaaaai, fight ooooon!
[meanwhile, a distance away from the court]
Murasakibara: ……?
Chapter 5
Murasakibara: ……?
Himuro: What’s up, Atsushi?
Murasakibara: Why is it so noisy over there? So much yelling.
Himuro: Hm? Ah, seems that Kaijou and Shuutoku are practicing together.
Okamura: Look at that, it’s so heart-warming to see everyone cheering for their upperclassmen~ *glances around*
Murasakibara: Like, they’re too fired up, it’s overwhelming…
Himuro: Really? They make me want to play a game as soon as possible.
Liu Wei: Are they really cheering? I hear some voices yelling ununderstandable things.
Okamura: …
Fukui: It’s useless to hope for our underclassmen to cheer for us too, give it up already.
Okamura: Am I not even allowed to dream… Uuuh… *sobs*
Murasakibara: Huuuh? What, you’re crying?
Himuro: Are you okay?
Okamura: (T-They paid attention to meeeee!!) I’m fine! *pleased*
Liu Wei: There’s no need to mind the chin-gorilla.
Okamura: Wha…?! Who are you calling a gorilla…!!
Fukui: Stop all that boring talk already, let’s get going.
Murasakibara: Mhm.
Himuro: Yes.
Okamura: … I, I, I want to be cheered on by someone too~!! *sobs*
[scene change: after the training session]
[location: rest space]
Kise: Ahhh, the 3-on-3 games with Shuutoku were fun!
Hayakawa: Yeah!
Kise: Oh yeah! What time is it now?!
Hayakawa: Hm? It’s 5 PM.
Kise: Oh! There’s still some time left before supper! *beams*
Kasamatsu: Kise, you’re up to something again aren’t you… *sigh*
Kise: Senpai, senpai! How ‘bout we go look at some basketball shoes together?!
[avatar mission: special story 1]

AHH This is random but tHANKS FOR DOING THE TRANSLATION FOR KNB CROSS COLORS ON KISE'S STORYLINE!! ;3; Kise is my bby and I hoard anything that is related to him to be honest so tHANK YOU ;v;
AHHH you’re welcome I’m glad you like my translations! >///< Kise has lots of funny and adorable moments in this story so I’m having lots of fun translating it too :DD
Kobori: Kise, don’t you think there’s already shampoo and other products in the bathhouse of a facility like this one?
Kise: That won’t do! 2-in-1 shampoo will make my hair tangled, and if I don’t use my toner right after getting out of the bath, my skin will get dry~ To be honest, I wanted to pack even more things… *rambles on*
Kobori: S-Sounds like a struggle…
Chapter 5
Kise: To be honest, I wanted to pack even more things… *rambles on*
Kobori: S-Sounds like a struggle…
Kasamatsu: You already had too much luggage to begin with. What else’s inside that bag of yours?
Kobori: Yeah, it can’t be that big with just bathing products inside.
Kise: Ta-dah! I also brought these!! Card games, board games, Jump-Out Pirate, and…
Kasamatsu: … What did you come here for?!
Kobori: Kise, you brought too many things unrelated to the training camp.
Kasamatsu: … Geez, hurry and put all of that away!
Kise: Sheesh! All you do is scold me! You guys are no fun! Gahhh! Why am I assigned to this room~!!!
Kasamatsu: We assigned the rooms fairly through drawing lots, so stop complaining!
[scene change: the next morning]
[location: hallway]
Kise: What’s wrong, Moriyama-senpai? You’re starting the day with a frown.
Moriyama: Hmm… Last night…
Kise: … Last night?
Moriyama: Yeah, when I woke up to go to the bathroom, I think I heard a strange sound…
Hayakawa: Ehh?! Was it me talking in my sleep?
Moriyama: No, you were quiet.
Kobori: We didn’t hear anything from our room.
Moriyama: Oh… Maybe it’s just my imagination…
Kise: D-Don’t tell me…?!
Kasamatsu: What’s wrong?
Kise: I heard this from the Seirin guys yesterday… This facility is said to be haunted… There are eerie fireballs… And strange sounds…
Moriyama: Fireballs…?!
Hayakawa: St[r]ange sounds…?!
Kasamatsu: Don’t be stupid! It’s just your imagination, imagination. Forget it.
Kise: Y-You’re right!
Moriyama: But then, afterwards… *straight face*
Kise: … D-Did something happen…? *gulp*
Moriyama: … Afterwards… I slept soundly until morning! I had a good rest!
Kise: That’s it?! I thought you had an even scarier experience after that!
Kobori: Don’t say it in such a misleading way…
Kasamatsu: Hey, you guys! Stop going on and on about those useless things! Listen, we’re going to have a training session with Shuutoku today as planned. Don’t lose focus!
Kaijou members: Yes!!
Next Story
Finally, the training session with Shuutoku begins!
Kise: A 3-on-3 between the third years…?!
Takao: Now that’s something we don’t get to see often!
Seeing the heated battle between the captains, Kise and the others couldn’t help but…?!
