[ I can understand Echizen's apprehension. I did not mean to instill doubt in him, only remind him of his position. I know Seigaku will be in good hands, with him. He’ll carry on legacy that Yamato-buchou left behind. If there is anything I do miss about Japan - specifically Seigaku - it is that.
For personal reference, hugging someone so short is rather awkward. I should not attempt such things lightly. ]
[ I believe Echizen is ready to assume his responsibility. Just... encourage him, when you do step down as captain and vice captain respectively. Echizen will appreciate your confidence in him. ]
Good work at camp, everyone. It's been a pleasure to observe you in practice. You've all grown since last I saw you and I expect this next season will be an incredible competition.
The train leaves in three hours, so if you'll excuse me.
