Sakaki route translation

• This is a complete translation of Professor Sakaki's route, including the variations in the text that appear for each choice. This translation can be used to reach either of his endings.
• This route cannot be accessed in a normal playthrough. Instead, it's the first tab under the あれこれ (this and that) menu, titled 榊先生の事情 (Professor Sakaki's circumstances).
• Sakaki's route is not available until you clear Sonoda's love ending.
• Sakaki is the 'secret' character, so this route contains spoilers for the main plot of the game.

(Sakaki: Coming back here again...)
Yuki: Professor Sakaki, I found you!!
Yuki: Professor Sakaki, would you like to play baseball!
Sakaki: Baseball?
Yuki: Yes!
Yuki: The weather is so nice today that everyone was saying let's play baseball!
Yuki: Won't you be part of our team? You can be the coach.
Sakaki: Are you going to have such a serious match that you need a coach?
Yuki: Yes, we already have an opposing team.
Yuki: You can even choose a position, left field, pitcher, whatever you'd like.
Yuki: Anyway! I want to play baseball with you, Professor!
Sakaki: Together, huh.
Sakaki: ...Alright.
Sakaki: If I'm going to participate, I'm going to be serious about it.
Yuki: Of course!
Yuki: Everyone! Professor Sakaki said he'll do it!

CG: all the main characters, Yuki holding Sakaki's hand with Sakaki offscreen
Sonoda: Wow. Professor Sakaki, you can play baseball?
Sonoda: Can you even fight along with us youngsters?
Sakaki: Don't be rude. I lean more towards baseball than soccer.
Sakaki: At the very least, I'm better than you, who can only cook.
Joker: Wow, so that's it. Then, Eiji, I'll have you switch positions with the Professor.
Sonoda: Hey, Kiyo, don't just say whatever you want. Third is mine!
Sakaki: Third, huh. That's not bad.
Sonoda: So I'm not handing it over!
Joker: Incidentally, I'm pitcher. And Takato-sempai is catcher.
Sakaki: That's a strange battery.
Sakaki: I feel sorry for the people who have to go up against you two.
Takato: Our opposing team are members of the baseball club. I've investigated all their weak points.
Sakaki: Just as I'd expect.
Takato: It's only natural to develop something of a strategy in order to win.
Joker: Hehehe, I'll throw a gyroball that will make those baseball club guys despair.
Takato: The problem is whether Joker will throw according to my signals or not.
Yuki: ...That may be impossible.
Joker: Well, if I feel like it, I'll obey sometimes.
Yuki: See.
Sakaki: You seem to be having problems with your teamwork before the match...
Kuya: It'll be fine!
Kuya: We'll show you a perfect defense, so it doesn't matter if Joker gets whipped.
Chiba: Don't be ridiculous.
Chiba: Joker-sama will not get whipped!
Chiba: They will all be strikeouts.
Tomo: *yawn* If he does that, it'll make it easy for me.
Sakaki: Where are all of you defending?
Kuya: I'm shortstop.
Chiba: Myself is on second.
Chiba: ...I will protect Joker-sama's back!
Sakaki: First is...
Tomo: Me, I guess.
Sakaki: Hey, who decided these positions?
Kuya: Who was it?
Tomo: Who knows... it just ended up this way?
Sakaki: This is ridiculous. You're completely destroying your advantage.
Yuki: Is this not going to work?
Sakaki: Baseball is a team sport. You gain an opening by utilizing everyone's characteristics.
Sakaki: Fast guys, guys with good arms, smart guys. By arranging them in the optimum positions, you utilize your advantages.
Sakaki: In particular Chiba.
Chiba: What?
Sakaki: Second requires agility and split second judgement, it's impossible for you.
Chiba: No, myself will protect Joker-sama's back...
Sakaki: So play center. Center is also behind the pitcher.
Chiba: ...Alright.
Sakaki: On second vacated by Chiba, Minase, you step in.
Arata: Huh, you're putting me in Hayaya's place?
Sakaki: You're agile and you don't have a bad head on your shoulders.
Arata: I guess.
Arata: Well, I do get better grades than Hayaya, but that's kind of dicey, isn't it?
Sakaki: That's not what I meant. It would be bad to have someone on second who can't observe their surroundings and judge the situation.
Sakaki: You can read people's expressions and act.
Arata: That's a dubious way of putting it.
Maro: Kuu.
Sakaki: Then, shortstop should be someone who can coordinate play.
Sakaki: Which means, shortstop is Asahina. You.
Yuki: Huh! Me, shortstop!?
Sakaki: You're not fast, and you don't have a strong arm, but more than anything, you don't give up.
Sakaki: Anyway, nab the ball.
Yuki: Right.
Sakaki: I'll leave your support to Sonoda on third.
Yuki: Sonoda-san, I'll count on you!
Sonoda: Leave it to me.
Joker: How nice, all the cuties gathered right in the center.
Sonoda: Minase and me and Yuki-kun are the infield.
Sonoda: That's certainly not bad.
Yuki: Let's all do our best!
Arata: Okay.
Kuya: Wait a minute. Where should I defend!?
Sakaki: You're on first.
Sakaki: You wouldn't be bad as shortstop, but Kasahara is unreliable on first. He slacks off.
Sakaki: Compared to him, you're taller and nimbler.
Sakaki: You can catch all the balls thrown to you by the infielders, can't you?
Kuya: I can!
Sakaki: Good. ...And so, you guys.
Yuki: Yes.
Sakaki: Anyway, if there's a grounder, throw it to first base.
Sakaki: He'll manage it somehow.
Kuya: Leave it to me!
Yuki: Certainly, Kuya-san on first may make it easier.
Yuki: Even if we throw slightly off, he'll still catch it.
Arata: O-Sagi-san, O-Sagi-san.
Arata: I'm not very good at ball games, so if my hand slips and I hit you, sorry.
Kuya: It's okay.
Kuya: No matter where you throw, Aratan, I'll show you I'll definitely catch it.
Arata: Yay, thanks.
Kuya: Not just Aratan, everyone too!
Kuya: So don't worry and throw the ball!
Infielders: Right!
Sakaki: That's good for the infield.
Joker: Professor Sakaki, you're surprisingly positive.
Joker: I thought you'd dislike fooling around with us.
Sakaki: I don't particularly like it, but since I'm doing it, I just want it to be perfect.
Joker: Hey, Yuki-kun. Was Professor Sakaki always such an enthusiastic character?
Yuki: I asked him so the Professor is taking it seriously.
Sakaki: Of course.
Sakaki: If you're going to do something carelessly, it's better not to do it at all.
Yuki: Professor Sakaki looks cold on the outside, but inside, maybe he's a hot-blooded teacher.
Joker: Hmm...
Sakaki: Well then, that leaves Yagami and Kasahara...
Sakaki: Hey, Yagami. Have you gained any strength recently?
Yagami: Shut up.
Sakaki: Same as ever. Then, you're in right field.^{[note!]A 'safe' position to stick bad players into.}
Sakaki: Kasahara, you're in left field.
Tomo: Left, huh...
Tomo: Well, that seems easier than first.
Sakaki: Chiba, defend slightly near right field. Cover right field's zone.
Sakaki: Anyway, catch all the fly balls even for Yagami.
Chiba: Alright.
Yagami: Tch, what's with that treatment?
Chiba: Yagami.
Yagami: Yeah.
Chiba: Last year you dropped out of the endurance run in PE class.^{[note!]1.5km, about a mile, per the school info.}
Yagami: ...
Chiba: Myself runs 10 kilometers every day.
Yagami: You're a monster.
Chiba: I'm trained differently than you.
Yagami: ...Yeah.
Chiba: I won't let you take points from Joker-sama.
Chiba: So myself will catch the fly balls.
Chiba: Okay?
Yagami: Geez... fine.
Sakaki: In return, Yagami, indicate to Chiba where he should throw the balls he's caught.
Yagami: Why?
Sakaki: Because if you leave it to Chiba, he's likely to throw them all back to Jokawa.
Yagami: I really wouldn't put it past him...
Yagami: Alright. Hey, Chiba, throw where I tell you.
Chiba: Yeah.
Chiba: I'll leave it to you to use your head.
Yagami: You never change either, hey...
Tomo: Chiba-san, you might as well cover for me too.
Chiba: You run.
Chiba: You're fast, aren't you?
Yuki: That's right. Do your best, track team member.
Takato: Recently, I've heard from Asahina that you've been showing your face at club activities, is that right?
Tomo: Ah, well, that... it just ended up that way...
Sakaki: This is a good opportunity. Show us the results of that.
Tomo: Right, right...
Yuki: Alright, we're like a real team now.
Yuki: That’s Professor Sakaki for you!
Sakaki: I guess.
Joker: That aside, Professor Sakaki, it's about time you stop hogging cute Shortstop-kun's hand, isn't it?
Joker: Or do you want to keep holding it forever?
Sakaki: Well, who knows?
Sonoda: You're not denying it.
Sakaki: Deny nothing, I'm not the one holding his hand.
Sakaki: He's holding my hand.
Yuki: Oh, huh? Professor Sakaki? But your hand... is gripping mine really tight...
Sakaki: Asahina. Who was the one who first gripped whose hand?
Yuki: Me, but...
Sakaki: Look, see?
Sakaki: This guy finds an adult like me more reliable than you brats.
Arata: Hyahahahaha. Professor Sakaki, now you're talking, now you're talking.
Sonoda: So? What position are you playing, Professor Sakaki?
Sakaki: I already did.
Sakaki: My position is already decided, it's the important job of being coach.
Sakaki: So you guys should do your best in the match.
Takato: So you're shifting responsibility to others?
Sakaki: Well, if there's a chance, I'll be a pinch hitter.
Kuya: That's just cherry-picking!
Yuki: That's not fair!
Joker: Well, but that way the odds will change and it might be interesting.
Sakaki: Odds?
Joker: Yeah. The match coming up is on the bookmaker in the net casino.
Joker: Like who will win, what the point spread will be, who will score the winning point and stuff.
Joker: It's more exciting if it's detailed.
Sakaki: You're the same as ever.
Joker: Since you're joining us, you have to be in the match to enjoy it.
Sonoda: But if Professor Sakaki scores the winning point, that's like the house winning.
Sonoda: Sounds good. I'll be hoping that happens.
Yagami: Wait, if that happens, then isn't it unfair that only Durak gets the profit?
Yagami: If you win, give us a share of the profits.
Kuya: That's right, that's right!
Joker: Then, how about the person who gets the most points gets treated to something by the Professor?
Yagami: Oh, that's not too bad!
Yuki: Professor, you're so generous!
Sakaki: Hey, hey. Don't just decide on your own.
Kuya: Now, now, isn't it okay?
Kuya: Please show us the strength of an adult at times like these!
Sakaki: You're mistaking it for an adult's financial strength.
Sakaki: Geez...
Sakaki: It can't be helped. If you win, I'll treat the guy who gets the most points.
Yuki: Alright!
Sakaki: In return.
Sakaki: If you lose, I'm giving you all homework.
Yuki: Whaaaa.
Sakaki: Especially Chiba and Minase and Kasahara.
Sakaki: Prepare yourselves.
Tomo: Why me too?
Sakaki: Because you're the least motivated.
Sakaki: Well, you other two, just watch yourselves.
Arata: Ah, we're in trouble.
Chiba: ......
Arata: Well, well, it will be okay as long as we win, right?
Chiba: We'll win!
Arata: Let's do our best!
Maro: Kuku!
Yuki: Alright, everyone!!
Yuki: Let's all do our best!!
All: Yeah!!
