Shirota's Tragedy
The weather was good and filming was going well. But something happened.
After the test shot was done before the actual filmings, Nya-ko/Yufune/Igarashi-kun was playing catchball with Joni-ko/Shinjo/Shirota-kun. Then Shirota-kun threw the ball towards boundary in front of Igarashi-kun,and it flew irregularly...
(it hit a rough spot on the ground and flew up in an unexpected direction)
and Shirota-kun whose catching level recently went up to 34, was chanting "easy peasy♪" as he caught the ball in his glove. But in the very next moment, the ball went slightly above the glove , no it went behind the glove and naturally was heading in the direction of what Joni- calls his life, his "Face"!
It can't be...( ̄▽ ̄;)
The next moment, Shirota collapsed without a sound.
Yep, it was a direct attack towards the 45 degree angle of his right cheek bone.
Then as Igarashi was about to run to the area Shirota was at to help him, a merciless voice came ringing in everybody's ear. "Help me~!"
(I'm not sure of this line) In this moment, that melody was surely ringing in his head.
Yet, bearing with the pain, Joni-ko/Shinjo/Shirota-kun was shouting "Bring it on!" in a queer voice.
You're shining now yo! Brightly yo!
And we finished catchball safely and welcomed the break time.
Nya-ko/Yufune/Igarashi-kun who wasn't that worried, had advised him to use a cool pack, and this was what he saw, a scene of a swell at the 45 degree angle of his right cheek bone, presenting to you Joni-ko/Shinjo/Shirota-kun.
You did your best! And worked hard ☆(laugh)
Cool it properly yo!
