Daiya no Ace #6 “First Impression”

Team-mate: What? Really!?

Team-mate: You’re the same age?

Team-mate: So you are a player!?

Chris: I’m 18.

Team-mate: I definitely thought you’re older than 20!! You’re too calm [for your age]!!

Team-mate: I used the honorific language to you since I thought you’re the coach!!

Team-mate: Really, *how many times have you lived before!? [*common joke in Japan you say to people who are very mature for their young age as if they are living their life for the second/third/fourth time.]

Later in the evening…

Daiya no Ace #7 “A question from Senpai”

Eijun: Miyuki-senpai, look at this!! I’ve got a LINE message from Chris-senpai! Miyuki: Hm? You’ve got that, too? Eijun: Eh? You, too!?

Chris’ LINE message to Eijun: Sawamura, please answer honestly. How old do I look? Btw, I don’t need any jokes right now.

Chris’ email to Miyuki: Do I really look that old? My senpai use the honorific language to me… […]

Eijun: Seems like something happened to him…? Miyuki: What are you going to reply? Eijun: What should I reply?

Miyuki: Maybe something like “You are so calm, that’s why you don’t look like a child”? Eijun: That sounds nice! Miyuki: What about your reply? Eijun: Mmmmm, maybe something like “You look 5 years younger with your hair down”? Miyuki: Yes, that’s it! Eijun: Yes, this is it!

- Breaking News: Miyuki is confirmed to be a flip phone user (while Eijun, Chris and probably everyone else are smartphone users.)
