Checking whether he might have any useful handbooks or strategy guides in his personal library, Maru-maru was delighted to notice the entry “cr. playb.” in the register. He couldn’t really remember when and why he had added a ‘cricket playbook’ to his library, but he sure was happy he had done it.
Strangely enough, it was in a brown paper bag… …probably for dust protection.
Fast forward to today…as Maru-maru can’t really remember when he added a ‘creepy playboy’ to his personal library. He has some suspicions of himself regarding the why.
And he’s currently not happy that he had done it. He’s really concerned that a lot of the time that the team has invested in positional training might have gone towards training a kind of position that might not be terribly useful on a cricket field. And inappropriate. And he can’t even make sure, because asking Gregory-kun for specifics would be inappropriate, as well. He’s had it pointed out to him repeatedly that a teacher shouldn’t inquire into the specifics of students’ sex lives.
Counting limited blessings, the misguided training might still have improved the general physical conditions of the team members…and possibly there might have been a positive effect on team morale…if definitely not team morals. The other limited blessing is that even this new set-back is still within the range of events he can make acceptable to him with alcohol.
More on Thursday.
