胸を張って生きろ。

Kindaichi: Huh?! ...Oikawa-san’s headshot image became a hanger...? Kunimi: Do you mind to giving me this for a second? ...It’s made of paper. Where did you get this thing...? Oikawa: ”This thing”?! What do you mean by that, Kunimi-chan!? Kunimi: No, it just seemed like a suspicious object... Hanamaki: You can get this when you buy our jersey.. Iwaizumi: Huh?? Our jersey? What’s that about? Hanamaki: To be exact, it’s a bonus that came with the limited edition Seijou’s jerseys that were sold at the Jump shop. It just ended, though. Iwaizumi: I don’t get it at all. Kunimi: So you can both hang lame and embarrassing clothes... What a nice joke. Oikawa: Oi oi, everyone~ Don’t be this jealous. Hanamaki: No, there’s no one who’s jealous of you. Iwaizumi: If I bend it, won’t it make a funny face? It’s made of paper, after all. Like the thing you’d do to a 1,000 yen bill. Oikawa: Iwa-chan~ I wish you’d let your jealousy under control! Iwaizumi: There’s no way I would be jealous, Hanger bastard!! Hanamaki: Hanger bastard!! Kunimi: Hanger bastard... Somehow that sounds really good. Hanamaki: That’s it, Kindaichi. Are you saying that you’d be ok to be a hanger too? Kindaichi: If I could be a hanger... It would be such an honor! Hanamaki: This one's beyond saving... Iwaizumi: Kindaichi! You have to open your eyes!!

Oikawa: *humming* Iwaizumi: I’m starving... Oikawa: I got both the milk bread and yakisoba bread! Good harvest, good harvest~ Iwaizumi: Let’s hurry heading back to the classroom and eat! Kindaichi: Hello! Iwaizumi: Hey, Kindaichi. Are you going to the cafeterian? Isn’t it too late by now? Kindaichi: Ugh, that’s true... There isn’t many left huh.. Oikawa: Look, the last yakisoba bread! Of course, I’m not giving this to you! Kindaichi: Okay.... Iwaizumi: Hey, Hanger, don’t do such a shameful thing! Girl 1: Oi, Hanger! We have captains’ meeting after school so don’t forget! Oikawa: Okay!! Iwaizumi: Somehow after several days, the ‘Hanger’ thing has spread over... Kindaichi: That’s true... Girl 2: Huh? Isn’t that Hanger-san? Girl 3: Hanger-san? Girl 4: What’s that? Girl 5: Look, he’s standing in the center of those tall people! He’s the volleyball club’s captain and apparently he’s called ‘Hanger-san’! Girl 3: Ooh, I know the guy! Girl 4: Seriously? That guy is half-foreign? So cool!! Girl 5: His name is ‘Oikawa Hanger Tooru’ Senpai! Girl 2: Oh no, he’s looking this way! Girl 5: Eh, did he hear all of that? Let’s go! Oikawa: The me who can pass as half-foreign... amazing! Iwaizumi: Your positivity is the amazing one. Kindaichi: I’m envious... Iwaizumi: Huh?! What are you saying?! Kindaichi: No, I just thought I wanted a cool nickname... Iwaizumi: Cool?! As in ‘Hanger Tooru’?! Oikawa: Hmmm... I know that feeling, Kindaichi. It is said that the name is the embodiment of the personality after all! Okay, leave it to me! Follow me!! Kindaichi: Yes! Hanger senpai! Iwaizumi: Is he... being serious?

Oikawa: ...And so, Kindaichi wants a cool nickname! Kindaichi: Please! Oikawa: Okay, let’'s stick him with some nicknames! Hanamaki: Hmm... even if you say it... Iwaizumi: Did Kindaichi have any nickname before this? Like in primary school or junior high school? Kindaichi: Hmm... Nothing in particular. Kunimi: If I remember correctly, Kindaichi-san is from Kitagawa Daiichi junior high. Didn’t you have any friend*? (*T/N: Kunimi is deliberately saying it in super polite form to tease Kindaichi.) Kindaichi: I had, like everyone! And besides, aren’t you from the same school?! Hanamaki: Oh! Come to think of it, Karasuno’s Chibi-chan was calling you ‘Shallot head’, right? Kindaichi: Shallot!? Kunimi: You didn’t realise? He said that in quite a loud voice. Kindaichi: Seriously?! That guy...! Oikawa: *giggles* Sha.llot. He.ad. Iwaizumi: Oi, you laugh too much. *trying hard to keep his serious composure* Kindaichi: Isn’t Iwaizumi-san laughing too? Kunimi: It’s wrong. Kindaichi is nothing like a shallot. Kindaichi: Kunimi, you... Kunimi: Judging by the shape, isn’t he closer to a napa cabbage? Hanamaki: Ah, nice, Kunimi, I see it. Then, as your nickname: ‘Napa Cabbage Head’. Kindaichi: Wait a minute! Why does it has to be in Japanese? I want it to be more... like Hanger... European or America like? Hanamaki: Then, let’s go with ‘White Vegetable Head’. Kindaichi: You just translated the kanji separately! Iwaizumi: Putting the America aside, you don’t look like anything European. Kindaichi: Eeh?! Even Iwaizumi-san!? Hanamaki: In the first place, your name is ‘Kindaichi’. Even in the Japanese style, you’re not in the Heisei era but in the Shouwa era* in its early development. (*T/N: Heisei is the era after Shouwa so he’s implying Kindaichi’s name is kind of outdated lol) Kindaichi: But my original name and nickname don’t have any connection... Iwaizumi: ....Forze. Kindaichi: Huh? Oikawa: Uooh?! “SWITCH ON YOUTH- Hanamaki: ‘CAUSE SPACE IS HERE”*!! It’s decided. (*T/N: Forze is one of the Kamen Rider series which have that line above as his catchphrase.) Iwaizumi: You must be glad, Kindaichi, it fits you perfectly! Kindaichi: Forze is nice... But, all in all, I have a mixed feeling about this... Iwaizumi: Huh?! It’s extremely cool! Hanamaki: It’s a work to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the series! Iwaizumi: No, I won’t let you to be Forze. More like, you aren’t suitable to become Forze! Kindaichi: I’m sorry. Hanamaki: To begin with, a nickname is made spontaneously, not something that the person chose. Kindaichi: Yeah... Hanamaki: In other words, since we couldn’t make one, isn’t it ok to stick with ‘Kindaichi’ like before? Oikawa: *yawns* That’s right. ‘Kindaichi’ is a good name so shouldn’t you treasure it? Iwaizumi: Oh? You said something normal for once. But thinking about it, you’re the one who suggested to find for Kindaichi’s nickname, right? Oikawa: Kindaichi. Every nickname will do. But you have to look at the value! Kindaichi: Eh!? Iwaizumi: Isn’t that a contradiction from what you’ve said in the beginning? Oikawa: Because you’re ‘Iwa-chan’! Iwaizumi: What’s that mean? Oikawa: I’m surely ‘Hanger’ but that’s a special case.  Kindaichi: Sorry, I don’t really get what you me- Oikawa: In other words, Iwaizumi is ‘Iwa-chan’, Matsukawa is ‘Mattsun’ and Hanamaki is ‘Makki’. Everyone accepts these nicknames made of love without any complaint to me. So Kindaichi should just make something randomly, like that! Iwaizumi: No no no, in the first place, it’s you who give those made of love nicknames. Hanamaki: Incidentally, no one calls me that but you. Oikawa: Hey hey, don’t be jealous of ‘Hanger’~ Iwaizumi & Hanamaki: WE’RE NOT! Oikawa: Okay! Let’s focus on putting a nickname based on Kindaichi’s name! Kunimi: As expected, when talking about ‘Kindaichi’... Iwaizumi: It’s Kousuke, right? Hanamaki: “In the name of my grandfather...!”*, right? (*T/N: They’re talking about The Kindaichi Case Files, which story is about Kindaichi Hajime, the grandson of the fictional private detective Kindaichi Kousuke, solving mysteries. His catchphrase is that line above.) Iwaizumi: Huh? That’s what the grandson said, right? Hanamaki: Is that right? Kunimi: But the boy’s grandfather is the one who’s called ‘Kousuke’ so he’s not entirely wrong... Iwaizumi: Well, whatever is fine. Oikawa: You’re wrong, Iwa-chan. “One truth prevails”*! Kunimi: Ah, that’s Conan? Oikawa: “...Eeh... This time’s culprit... Is... Indeed... Formidable.” Iwaizumi: Is that... Ninzaburo? Hanamaki: “Wait, Watson-kun.” Kindaichi: Wait! Why are you making a conversation in detectives’ impersonations?! Please think about my nickname! Hanamaki: Sorry, we’re unconsciously... Oikawa: But I don’t have any interest in Kindaichi! Hanamaki: Huh?! Iwaizumi: You’re finished after you said that! Oikawa: I got it, I got it~ Then... ‘Kintarou’! Kindaichi: Kin...tarou? Iwaizumi: Got it. ‘Kindaichi Yuutarou’ shortened to ‘Kintarou’. Kunimi: The logic is perfect too. Hanamaki: As expected of Hanger! Yo, Kintarou! Kindaichi: Geh! No way! Won’t I become the boy that wear red apron and wield a Masakari ax?! Oikawa: Then should we raise your age and call you ‘Kin-san’!? Kindaichi: At which Tooyama*?! Am I not becoming a joke?! (*T/N: Kin-san is famous under the title of ‘Tooyama no Kin-san’ which literally means ‘Mr. Kin of Tooyama’.) Kunimi: If you become a joke, maybe it’s the other way around? Isn’t it good that you’re closer to the cool Oikawa-san? Kindaichi: It’s not like I want to be a joke! Oikawa: That’s right! I’m not a joke! Iwaizumi: “Keh! Oi oi oi, I’ve been listening for a while and you’re just yapping while decide on nothing! Before this flurry of cherry blossoms that bloomed on my back fall, you better decide!” Hanamaki: Yo, Iwaizumi’s Kin-san*! (*T/N: Iwaizumi is talking like a samurai, which is why Makki refers him as Kin-san, who was also a samurai.) Kindaichi: Isn’t that putting a nickname to Iwaizumi-san?! And it fits him! Kunimi: Oh, the noon practice starts. Hanamaki: Hey, look!, That’s because you complain too much that we didn’t reach a decision! Kindaichi: Ugh... Sorry. Oikawa: Okay, got it. This Hanger Tooru-sama will decide on Kindaichi’s nickname right here. You ready, Kindaichi? Kindaichi: Yes! Oikawa: Kindaichi, your nickname is... *stare*... Hmm.. Hmm.... Kindaichi: Ugh.... Why are you staring so long at me? Oikawa: Hmm! You really are... ‘Shallot Head’. Kindaichi: Huh? Oikawa: Because I can only see you as a shallot! That head... Kunimi: No objection. Hanger’s verdict is amazing as expected. Hanamaki: No, the amazing one isn’t Hanger but Karasuno’s Chibi-chan, right? Okay, let’s go to the gym! Kunimi: Okay. Oikawa: Hey, you go too, Shallot Head! Kindaichi: Huh? Shallot? Iwaizumi: If you don’t like something, say you don’t like it, Kindaichi. Kindaichi: Yes. Like usual, please call me Kindaichi.

End.
