[Translation] Free!DF Spotlight Color: Makoto Tachibana - Cross Talk 01
Theme 01: “How would you describe Makoto Tachibana in one word?”
Rei: When speaking of Makoto-senpai, the fact that he is a reliable senpai who started the Iwatobi High School Swimming Club and brilliantly lead us as the club captain, comes to mind! I respect him very much! Also, together with Haruka-senpai, I guess you can say they “breathe like A and Un.” Their relationship is truly beautiful…!
(T/N: A-un no Kokyuu is an idiom that describes two people who are so in-tuned they are able to understand each other without using words or gestures)
Sousuke: Makoto just coddles him too much.
Haruka: What do you mean?
Sousuke: I said what I said.
Rei: Please, both of you! ….ahem…so, if you’re to describe Makoto-senpai in one word…
Rei: Huh!? Those are such insincere answers…!
Haruka: No it’s not. He doesn’t put the dishes back to the same place, and he leaves his laundry scattered around.
Sousuke: I don’t see many guys who has the same eye level as me. So he’s tall, right?
Haruka: He told me recently that he’s grown taller again at the physical exam for new students.
Rei: U-um… ehh, Makoto-senpai is, very kind and gentle…
Sousuke: I don’t think someone who has such a hungry and powerful swimming style could be described as gentle.
Haruka: Rei, you too felt it when you swam with him, right?
Rei: Is, is that so…? But, there is also a gentle side to him, such as how he often shared half of his ice pop with Haruka-senpai after club activities…
Sousuke: He did that, huh? Buy your own ice pop, Haru.
Haruka: Shut up… it makes my stomach cold, so I don’t want to eat the whole thing myself, that’s all.
Rei: Geez, please play nice, you two~~!!!
