Thirty years ago...
**[00:40] Tomoe**
...there wasn't a single
high school in Japan
**[00:43] Tomoe**
with a girls' baseball team.
**[00:46] Waka**
But nowadays, thirty schools
across Japan have one.
**[01:04] Tsubasa**
And we're continuing that trend with this:

That concludes our club demos—

Excuse me!

Can I have the floor?
**[02:27] Ryou**

Arihara Tsubasa-san of Class 1-3.
**[04:29] President**
You can't just start your own club.
**[04:32] Tsubasa**
I'm sorry!
**[04:34] Tomoe**
Wait a second, Student Council President!
**[04:37] Tsubasa**
Tomocchi?
**[04:37] Tomoe**
I told Tsubasa that
if she wanted to start a club,
**[04:40] Tomoe**
she should do something
to make it stand out.
**[04:42] Tsubasa**
But what I did just now was all my idea.
**[04:46] Tomoe**
No, I was the one
who planted the idea in her head...
**[04:48] Tsubasa**
I'm the one at fault here!
**[04:51] Kana**
You're too close.
**[04:57] President**
Miss Kakehashi...
**[04:59] President**
I'll leave it in your hands.
**[05:02] Sensei**
Okay.
**[05:05] Girl**
Have you chosen a club yet, Nakano?
**[05:07] Ayaka**
I've always had my heart set on
joining the school newspapurr.
**[05:15] Sensei**
It's time to get homeroom underway.
**[05:17] Ayaka**
Ah, the celebrity returns.
**[05:20] Girl**
I bet the student council gave you an earful.
**[05:24] Girl**
A girls' baseball team, was it?
**[05:26] Girl**
Our school doesn't even
have a *boys'* baseball team.
**[05:29] Girl**
Isn't that because it used
to be an all-girls school?
**[05:31] Girl**
Oh, yeah...
**[05:32] Sensei**
All right, take your seats.
**[05:35] Yuuki**
*That girl... is in my class.*
**[05:42] Yuuki**
*A club...*
**[05:44] Yuuki**
*Which one should I join?*
**[06:04] Akane**
Where is it?
**[06:08] Akane**
The club building...
**[06:12] Yuuki**
Suzuki-san!
**[06:14] Yuuki**
U-Um, we went to the same
middle school. I'm Nozaki.
**[06:19] Waka**
Oh.
**[06:21] Yuuki**
Um... Which club are you going to join?
**[06:25] Yuuki**
If you want, we could
go over together and...
**[06:27] Waka**
Sorry.
**[06:30] Waka**
I'm in the going-home club.
**[06:32] Waka**
Bye.
**[06:34] Yuuki**
Bye...
**[06:38] Sensei**
You really want to start a baseball team?
**[06:42] Tsubasa**
Yeah!

**[06:49] Sensei**
Well, in that case,
**[06:51] Sensei**
you need to go through the proper procedures.
**[06:54] Tsubasa**
"Association Regulations"...
**[06:56] Tsubasa**
So we can start an association?
**[06:59] Sensei**
If you meet certain conditions.

Thank you, ma'am!
**[07:13] Girl**
Hey...
**[07:15] Girl**
You're pretty tall.
**[07:17] Girl**
Wanna join the basketball team?
**[07:18] Yuuki**
Uh, I'm not really into...
**[07:20] Yuuki**
I-I'm sorry!
**[07:23] Yuuki**
* Maybe I'll just join*
* the going-home club, too.*
**[07:31] Akane**
I-I-I-I'm sorry!
**[07:33] Yuuki**
Careful!
**[07:35] Yuuki**
Are you okay?
**[07:39] Akane**
I can see now.
**[07:40] Yuuki**
You didn't hurt yourself, did you?
**[07:41] Akane**
Uh...
**[07:43] Akane**
I-I'm fine.
**[07:45] Akane**
Aren't you older than me?
**[07:47] Yuuki**
No, I'm a first-year.
**[07:50] Yuuki**
Are you checking out a club?
**[07:53] Akane**
Y-Yeah.
**[07:55] Akane**
I'm looking for the club room, but it
doesn't seem to be in the club building.
**[07:59] Yuuki**
Why don't we look for it together?
**[08:01] Akane**
Are you sure?
**[08:02] Yuuki**
Sure. Which club is it?
**[08:05] Akane**
The girls'—
**[08:06] Tsubasa**
The girls' baseball association
is looking for members!
**[08:10] Tomoe**
We're looking for members!
**[08:11] Akane**
That one!
**[08:12] Yuuki**
Huh?
**[08:13] Tomoe**
Please consider signing up!
**[08:15] Tsubasa**
Please consider it!
**[08:16] Yuuki**
Baseball?
**[08:18] Akane**
Yeah!
**[08:19] Tsubasa**
Huh? Tomocchi...
**[08:23] Tsubasa**
You're Nozaki-san from my class, right?
**[08:25] Tomoe**
And Ukita-san, too.
**[08:26] Tsubasa**
You know her?
**[08:28] Tomoe**
She's in my class.
**[08:29] Tsubasa**
Makes sense.
**[08:31] Tsubasa**
Have you two picked a club yet?
**[08:32] Yuuki**
Oh, um...
**[08:35] Yuuki**
Aren't you going to tell them?
**[08:36] Akane**
W-Well... I-I...
**[08:41] Yuuki**
Hey, would it be possible
to observe your club?
**[08:45] Tsubasa**
Are you interested in baseball?
**[08:47] Yuuki**
Huh?
**[08:48] Akane**
I-I-I am!
**[08:51] Akane**
I-If I can't be a player...
m-maybe, a manager...
**[08:56] Tsubasa**
Of course you can be a player!
**[08:58] Tsubasa**
You're more than welcome!
**[08:59] Tomoe**
We're having a trial meet-up tomorrow.
**[09:02] Tsubasa**
You should come!
**[09:03] Yuuki**
Ah, no... Team sports aren't my...
**[09:06] Yuuki**
Wait!
**[09:09] Akane**
W-Want to go together?
***SIGN*** C'mon, girls!
***SIGN*** Let's
all
play
baseball
together!
***SIGN*** Get your tracksuits on!
We're playing on a dry riverbed,
so it's hardball all the way!
***SIGN*** In the event of rain,
it'll be canceled
**[09:23] Tsubasa**
It's a perfect day for baseball!
**[09:25] Tsubasa**
And what's more...
**[09:26] Tsubasa**
Ta-da! Two people showed up.
**[09:30] Yuuki**
H-Hello...
**[09:32] Tsubasa**
We should all introduce ourselves.
**[09:35] Tsubasa**
I'm Arihara Tsubasa,
and this is my childhood friend...
**[09:38] Tomoe**
Kawakita Tomoe.
**[09:40] Yuuki**
I'm Nozaki Yuuki.
**[09:42] Akane**
I-I'm... Ukita Akane.
**[09:44] Yuuki**
I've actually never played
baseball before.
**[09:47] Akane**
S-Same here.
**[09:49] Tsubasa**
That's totally okay!
**[09:50] Tsubasa**
I brought gloves and everything!
**[09:56] Tsubasa**
There we go.
**[09:57] Yuuki**
You brought this many?
**[09:59] Tsubasa**
I borrowed them all from a shop I frequent.
**[10:01] Tomoe**
I don't have any baseball experience, either.
**[10:04] Akane**
R-Really?
**[10:06] Tsubasa**
We're just here to have fun today!
**[10:08] Tomoe**
We'll start with stretches.
**[10:12] Tsubasa**
One, two, three, four,
**[10:16] Tsubasa**
five, six, seven, eight!
**[10:21] Tsubasa**
Okay, let's play catch!
**[10:26] Tsubasa**
You hold the ball like this,
**[10:28] Tsubasa**
with a space the width of a finger
between your index and middle fingers.
**[10:32] Yuuki**
Ah...
**[10:34] Tsubasa**
And you throw it...
**[10:39] Tsubasa**
Like that!
**[10:39] Both**
Uh...
**[10:41] Tomoe**
That wasn't very clear, was it?
**[10:44] Tsubasa**
Let's just give it a try!
**[10:50] Tsubasa**
Okay, here it comes!
**[10:56] Tsubasa**
Nice catch!
**[10:59] Yuuki**
Here I go!
**[11:06] Tomoe**
Here it comes, Ukita-san.
**[11:09] Tomoe**
I'll throw it slow, okay?
**[11:19] Akane**
I-I'm sorry!
**[11:21] Tomoe**
Don't worry about it!
**[11:36] Tsubasa**
Are you left-handed, Nozaki-san?
**[11:39] Yuuki**
Huh?
**[11:40] Tsubasa**
Your throw was a little awkward.
**[11:43] Yuuki**
Yeah, I am.
**[11:44] Tsubasa**
Here's a left-handed glove.
**[11:46] Yuuki**
They exist?
**[11:47] Tsubasa**
Yep!
**[11:50] Tsubasa**
Bring it on!
**[11:58] Tomoe**
Wow...
**[12:04] Yuuki**
I'm sorry! I'll go get the ball!
**[12:08] Tsubasa**
Nah, it's no problem!
**[12:16] Tomoe**
Let's take a little break.
**[12:18] Tsubasa**
Yeah.
**[12:21] Kid**
What? He's not coming?
**[12:24] Kid**
What should we do?
**[12:26] Yuuki**
Ukita-san?
**[12:31] Yuuki**
I've got some honey and lemon juice.
**[12:35] Yuuki**
Want some?
**[12:36] Akane**
Thanks.
**[12:41] Akane**
So sweet!
**[12:46] Yuuki**
I put too much sugar in.
**[12:51] Akane**
I think...
**[12:52] Akane**
I'm afraid I'll get hurt by the ball.
**[12:55] Yuuki**
But you're interested in baseball, right?
**[12:58] Akane**
Back in grade school, a friend who
was really nice to me played baseball.
**[13:04] Akane**
I thought baseball was
the coolest thing ever,
**[13:07] Akane**
so when I heard there was a girls' team,
I thought maybe I could play, too...
**[13:13] Akane**
But I'm just not cut out for sports.
**[13:19] Akane**
You're really good, Nozaki-san.
**[13:21] Yuuki**
Huh? No, I'm terrible...
**[13:24] Akane**
But you caught the ball
**[13:27] Akane**
and threw it really far.
**[13:30] Akane**
It looked like you used to play a sport...
**[13:33] Yuuki**
In grade school, I played dodgeball.
**[13:36] Yuuki**
And in middle school,
I played basketball for a bit.
**[13:40] Yuuki**
But...
**[13:42] Yuuki**
I...
**(Flashback) [13:49] Girl**
Yuuki, shoot!
**(Flashback) [14:01] Girl**
Keep going, Yuuki! We can still win this!
**[14:04] Yuuki**
*Wait...*
**[14:07] Yuuki**
*I'm... still...*
**[14:16] Yuuki**
I always held my teammates back in games.
**[14:20] Yuuki**
So I'm a little scared of
picking up another team sport.
**[14:25] Akane**
I see...
**[14:33] Akane**
Hey... Let's just...
**[14:35] Tsubasa**
Nozaki-san! Ukita-san!
**[14:38] Tsubasa**
Wanna play a match?
**[14:42] Both**
Huh?
**[14:47] Yuuki**
We're playing Triangles?
**[14:49] Tsubasa**
Yeah.
**[14:50] Akane**
What's that?
**[14:52] Tsubasa**
It's sorta like a simplified
version of baseball.
**[14:55] Tomoe**
Those kids came down here
to play baseball too,
**[14:58] Tomoe**
but they're short on players.
**[15:00] Tsubasa**
And we thought, if we're going to play 'em,
we should treat it like a real game!
**[15:03] Tsubasa**
How about it? Wanna play with us?
**[15:05] Yuuki**
Well, if you need the extra players.
**[15:08] Tsubasa**
What about you, Ukita-san?
**[15:11] Akane**
I'll just watch...
**[15:13] Tsubasa**
Okay!
**[15:14] Kid**
We're ready.
**[15:16] Kid**
Who's gonna umpire?
**[15:19] Tomoe**
If it's six on six,
we'll have an extra person.
**[15:21] Tomoe**
I'll do it.
**[15:23] Kid**
Would you, please?
**[15:24] Kid**
Let's pick the teams.
**[15:26] Tsubasa**
All right!
***SIGN*** Nozaki Team
***SIGN*** Arihara Team
**[15:33] Tsubasa**
Let's do this, team!
**[15:35] All**
Yeah!
**[15:36] Kid**
We're gonna win!
**[15:38] All**
Yeah!
**[15:39] Yuuki**
Yeah...
**[15:49] Yuuki**
*A metal bat...*
**[15:52] Akane**
*I bet that'd hurt...*
**[15:53] Girl**
You can do it!
**[15:56] Kid**
Home run! Home run!
**[15:57] Yuuki**
That's impossible!
**[16:06] Tomoe**
Strike!
**[16:08] Tomoe**
Strike!
**[16:11] Tomoe**
Strike! Batter out!
**[16:13] Kid**
How was that a strike?
**[16:14] Kid**
It was above shoulder height! Clearly a ball!
**[16:17] Tomoe**
What? I don't know what you're talking about.
**[16:19] Kid**
You're a lousy umpire!
**[16:22] Tomoe**
Yellow card!
**[16:23] Kid**
This isn't soccer!
**[16:25] Kid**
At least take a swing.
**[16:28] Yuuki**
Sorry...
**[16:30] Akane**
Are you okay?
**[16:32] Yuuki**
I guess I'm not cut out
for baseball, either.
**[16:37] Kid**
Is this your first time playing?
**[16:40] Yuuki**
Huh?
**[16:41] Kid**
Try choking up on the bat.
**[16:43] Kid**
And take a wider stance.
**[16:45] Kid**
And you should also...
**[16:48] Yuuki**
C-Can you go over that again, please?
**[16:50] Kid**
You hold the bat like this...
**[16:52] Yuuki**
Like this?

**[17:45] Yuuki**

Go, Onee-chan!
**[18:07] Yuuki**
*I think I like this...*
**[18:10] Tomoe**
Safe!
**[18:27] Tomoe**
Out!
**[18:31] Akane**
Nozaki-san...
**[18:37] Yuuki**
It's fun.
**[18:42] Yuuki**
Why don't you play with us?
**[18:46] Akane**
Maybe just a little...
**[18:52] Kid**
Hey, no fair!
You can't bring in another player!
**[18:55] Kid**
What's the problem?
**[18:57] Kid**
We're losing, so let us have this one.
**[19:02] Tomoe**
It's okay!
**[19:03] Kid**
What?!
**[19:04] Kid**
Why?!
**[19:05] Kid**
That's not right!
**[19:11] Kid**
Is she calling a home run?
**[19:13] Kid**
I won't let her get one!
**[19:29] Akane**
I'm scared...
**[19:31] Yuuki**
Ukita-san!
**[19:32] Kids**
Go after it!
**[19:34] Kids**
You can do it!
**[19:36] Kids**
Run!
**[19:38] Kids**
Go!
**[19:41] Kids**
Go, go, go!
**[19:43] Kids**
Hurry!
**[19:49] Yuuki**
Over here!
**[20:11] Tomoe**
Out!
**[20:12] Kid**
No way!
**[20:19] Tsubasa**
Nice play!
**[20:31] Someone**
Let's play again sometime!
**[20:32] Someone**
Bye!
**[20:33] Someone**
Thanks!
**[20:34] Kid**
Don't forget!
**[20:36] Tsubasa**
We're heading this way. You?
**[20:38] Yuuki**
We're going this way.
**[20:40] Tsubasa**
Then...
**[20:44] Tsubasa**
See you later!
**[20:46] Yuuki**
Yes, see you at school.
**[20:53] Tsubasa**
Do you think they had fun?
**[20:55] Tomoe**
It sure looked like it.
**[21:01] Tsubasa**
I hope so.
**[21:04] Yuuki**
What did you think?
**[21:06] Akane**
It didn't feel much like a trial meet-up...
**[21:10] Yuuki**
You're right.
**[21:12] Akane**
But... it was fun... I think.
**[21:17] Yuuki**
I think I had fun, too.
**[21:20] Akane**
Nozaki-san, what are you going to do?
**[21:23] Yuuki**
What about you?
**[21:25] Akane**
I...
**[21:27] Yuuki**
Want to try it together?
**[21:38] Akane**
Okay.
**[21:47] Yuuki**
Did you find Arihara-san and Kawakita-san?
**[21:49] Akane**
No, I can't find them.
**[21:52] Yuuki**
Where could they be?

What do you mean?!

**[00:05] Tsubasa**
Give me a sitrep, please. Over.
**[00:07] Yuuki**
This is Nozaki.
**[00:09] Yuuki**
Sadly, it looks like the school ground
is out of the question.
**[00:16] Tomoe**
No luck with the gym, either.
**[00:21] Akane**
Doesn't look like the judo hall
will work, either...
**[00:23] Tomoe**

Are you sure it's all right?

Won't the student council
chew us out again if they find out?
**[00:52] Tsubasa**
It'll be fi—
**[00:53] Kana**
Who authorized this?
**[00:56] Tsubasa**
Um, well...
**[00:59] Kana**
I will have to inform
the student council president of this.
**[01:03] Tsubasa**
I'm sorry!
**[01:07] Sensei**
Well, it would indeed be dangerous
if a ball were to break a window.
**(Flashback) [01:15] Tsubasa**
Why can't we practice here at school?
**(Flashback) [01:19] Kana**
This school already has twenty athletic clubs
and fifteen cultural clubs.
**(Flashback) [01:24] Kana**
In addition, the sport of baseball
requires extensive facilities and equipment,

come to the cheap and trustworthy kings of

**[03:34] Tomoe**
We borrowed the gloves we used
at the trial meet-up from here, too.
**[03:38] Yuuki**
Ah, I see.
**[03:40] Tsubasa**
We still need to find a place to practice,
**[03:42] Tsubasa**
but let's take it one step at a time.
**[03:44] Tsubasa**
And you all need gloves, right?
**[03:46] Both**
Gloves...
**[03:48] Both**
I want one!

**[03:58] Tsubasa**
Yeah. Gloves are even shaped differently,
depending on your position.
**[04:04] Tsubasa**
But since we haven't decided
what positions we're playing yet,
**[04:08] Tsubasa**
we're buying these all-rounder gloves today.

**[04:21] Akane**
Seventy thousand?!
**[04:27] Tomoe**
Gloves are pretty expensive, huh?

Not to worry!
**[04:30] Tsubasa**

**[04:44] Akane**

**[04:45] Tsubasa**
Go on, pick one out!
**[04:47] Yuuki**
Um, how do we choose the right one?
**[04:49] Tsubasa**
The most important thing
is the feeling it gives you.
**[04:52] Tsubasa**
It should give you a jolt!
**[04:54] Akane**
A jolt?
**[04:55] Boss**
Each glove differs in weight,
center of gravity, and size.
**[05:00] Boss**
Just try some on, and pick
the one that feels right.
**[05:03] Tsubasa**
What he said!
**[05:05] Yuuki**
I see.
**[05:07] Yuuki**
Do you have any for left-handers?
**[05:09] Tsubasa**
A lighter glove might be
better for you, Ukita-san.
**[05:09] Boss**
Just a sec. We should have a few.
**[05:11] Tsubasa**
How about this one?
**[05:13] Yuuki**
Okay.
**[05:13] Boss**
Let's see... Ah, here we go.
**[05:13] Akane**
Okay. I'll try it.
**[05:17] Yuuki**
It's perfect.

**[05:23] Yuuki**

**[05:26] Tsubasa**
Hey, Suzuki-san, does this mean
you're interested in baseball?
**[05:31] Akane**
Is she from our school?
**[05:33] Tomoe**

By the way, Arihara-san,
you bought lots of things at that shop.
**[06:48] Tsubasa**
Yeah! I got these.
**[06:51] Tomoe**
What are those?
**[06:52] Tsubasa**
Well, they're...
**[06:55] Waka**
Glove oil and a glove mallet.
**[06:58] Waka**
You use them to shape tough gloves.
**[07:01] Akane**
Shape them?
**[07:03] Waka**
Yes, you work the leather
to fit the shape of your hand.
**[07:06] All**
Ah...
**[07:12] Tsubasa**
Suzuki-san, since you know so much about it,
**[07:15] Tsubasa**
does that mean you
actually kinda like baseball?
**[07:18] Tsubasa**
If you do, please play baseball with us!
**[07:23] Waka**
I'll pass.
**[07:27] Waka**
I don't play baseball.
**[07:32] Kentarou**
What about a support role?
**[07:35] Waka**
Hey! Onii-chan!
**[07:37] Kentarou**
You helped out my team when
I played little league, remember?
**[07:42] Kentarou**
You came up with
practice regimens and strategies,
**[07:44] Kentarou**
kept scorebooks, and took care of our gear.
**[07:47] Kentarou**
You were a huge help.
**[07:57] Waka**
I'll think about it.

but it didn't really work.
**[08:16] Waka**
Why does that mean I have to do it?

then pound the spot between the index

I asked the owner
and got the okay to use it.
**[09:23] Tsubasa**
Really?
**[09:28] Waka**
Seriously, I...
**[09:30] Tsubasa**
Aw, come on.
**[09:31] Sensei**
I need to go to the kendo club's

so I'll head back after
I've introduced you to the owner.
**[09:39] Sensei**
Will you be okay?
**[09:41] Tomoe**
Sure. Thank you for doing this.

This is the owner, Hinata-san.
**[10:10] All**
Hello.
**[10:12] Hinata**
The field maintenance tools
should still be usable, at least.
**[10:21] All**

Not at all. I'm just happy to see it used.

What am I doing wrong?
**[13:33] Waka**
You formed a pocket in your glove
when you shaped it, right?
**[13:36] Waka**
You need to catch it in that.
**[13:39] Akane**
In the pocket?
**[13:41] Waka**
Keep an eye on your partner,
and make sure your palm's facing the ball.
**[13:45] Waka**
It might hurt a bit, but you can catch it.

Palm facing the ball...

**[04:26] Tsubasa**
so let's go start practice!
**[04:28] Akane**
Practice?
**[04:30] Waka**
I thought you might say that...
**[04:32] Waka**
...so I came up with a regimen.
**[04:34] Yuuki**
Amazing!
**[04:36] Tsubasa**
You're the best, Suzuki-san!
**[04:38] Waka**
We'll start off with a jog.
**[04:43] Waka**
Next, sprinting.
**[04:52] Waka**
A-And after that, defensive drills.
**[04:54] Tsubasa**
Okay!
**[04:55] Tomoe**
Here!
**[05:01] Tsubasa**
Here it comes!
**[05:05] Yuuki**
Got it!
**[05:09] Yuuki**
There!
**[05:11] Waka**
There!
**[05:13] ---**
There.
**[05:16] ---**
Wait up...
**[05:20] Tomoe**
Yes!
**[05:26] Waka**
Okay... next on the list is...
**[05:28] Waka**
a break.
**[05:29] Tomoe**
Thank goodness...
**[05:31] Yuuki**
This is pretty tough.
**[05:34] Waka**
I should... rethink this regimen...
**[05:39] Tsubasa**
Practice is so much fun!
**[05:42] Tsubasa**
Here I go!
**[05:49] Yoshimi**
Hurrah!
**[05:51] Yoshimi**
Hurrah!
**[05:54] Tomoe**
What's that about?
**[05:55] Yoshimi**
Girls' baseball!
**[05:57] Yoshimi**
Go, go, girls' baseball!
**[06:01] Yoshimi**
No guts, no glory! You gotta dig in!
**[06:07] Yoshimi**
I'll cheer you on till practice is over.
**[06:10] Yoshimi**
You just give it your all!
**[06:13] Yuuki**
Um, and you would be...
**[06:15] Yoshimi**
Who, me?
**[06:16] Yoshimi**
As you can probably tell,
I'm on the cheer squad!
**[06:19] Yoshimi**
Satogahama High School
second-year, Iwaki Yoshimi!
**[06:22] Yoshimi**
When a team is practicing to
the west of me, I cheer them on.
**[06:25] Yoshimi**
When a team is losing to the east,
I encourage them to never give up!
**[06:29] Tsubasa**
Uh-huh, uh-huh.
**[06:30] Tomoe**
Oh, she's a second-year.
**[06:32] Yoshimi**
Listen up! I'm gonna cheer on your girls'
baseball association every step of the way!
**[06:40] Yoshimi**
If you've already scheduled
any games, let me know.
**[06:44] Yoshimi**
After all, I get pretty busy.
**[06:46] Akane**
Games?
**[06:47] Waka**
We can't play in any games.
**[06:50] Waka**
Baseball games require nine on a team,
and we only have five members.
**[06:53] Yoshimi**
Oh... That's so sad.
**[06:56] Tsubasa**
Hey, Iwaki-senpai, would you mind
helping us recruit more members?
**[07:02] Yoshimi**
Help you recruit, huh?
**[07:04] Yoshimi**
Yes, I guess that's one way to support you.
**[07:07] Yoshimi**
All right, I'll do it!
**[07:09] Tsubasa**
Thank you so much!
**[07:13] Yoshimi**
So what kinda people are you looking for?
**[07:15] Tsubasa**
Girls who are into baseball!
**[07:18] Tomoe**
I think most don't even know
all that much about baseball...
**[07:21] Waka**
Girls who have been in
athletic clubs before, then?
**[07:24] Akane**
G-Girls who run fast?
**[07:26] Yuuki**
Right...
**[07:29] Yoshimi**
Oh, this is so irritating!
**[07:31] Yoshimi**
Forget it! I'll pick them myself!
**[07:35] Waka**
I didn't know there were girls
like her in the grades above.
**[07:38] Akane**
She seemed really powerful...
**[07:41] Yuuki**
But having someone cheering us on
brings a smile to my face.
**[07:46] Yoshimi**
Hey!
**[07:48] Yoshimi**
I got one for ya!
**[07:49] Tomoe**
That was fast!
**[07:50] Yoshimi**
This is Asada Aoi, a second-year!
**[07:53] Aoi**
Hi there.
**[07:56] Aoi**
Wow, you really *do*
have a girls' baseball team.
**[08:01] Aoi**
Hey! You're the first-year
I've heard so much about!
**[08:04] Tsubasa**
Huh? Wh-Who, me?
**[08:06] Aoi**
I heard you ticked off the student
council president on your first day.
**[08:12] Waka**
Do you know a lot about baseball?
**[08:15] Aoi**
Not a thing!
**[08:17] All**
Huh?
**[08:18] Yoshimi**
Aoi's amazing, though!
She's the best gambler in school!
**[08:22] Waka**
Gambler?
**[08:24] Yoshimi**
Yeah! I've never beaten her, not even once!
**[08:30] Yoshimi**
First out is rock!
**[08:31] Both**
Rock, paper, scissors!
**[08:36] Yoshimi**
Rock, paper, scissors!
**[08:38] Both**
Scissors!
**[08:39] Both**
Scissors!
**[08:40] Yoshimi**
See?
**[08:40] Yuuki**
That's what you meant by "a gambler"?
**[08:43] Tsubasa**
That's amazing! I wanna play you, too!
**[08:46] Aoi**
Ready whenever you are.
**[08:48] Yoshimi**
You're pretty fearless, aren't ya?
**[08:50] Tsubasa**
I won't lose!
**[08:56] Both**
Rock, paper, scissors!
**[08:59] Yoshimi**
That's incredible! You tied with Aoi!
**[09:01] Tsubasa**
I didn't win, though...
**[09:03] Yoshimi**
What are you saying?
Most people flat-out lose!
**[09:06] Aoi**
*This girl's... got something!*
**[09:10] Waka**
So... will you be joining?
**[09:12] Aoi**
I'll join for the time being.
**[09:15] Aoi**
This seems kinda fun.
**[09:17] Tomoe**
That gives us six!
**[09:19] Aoi**
No, make it seven.
**[09:21] Yoshimi**
Huh? Me, too?!
**[09:23] Aoi**
The captain of the cheer squad
can't turn down a request!
**[09:30] Yoshimi**
All right! I'll join, too!
**[09:33] Tsubasa**
Really?
**[09:35] Yoshimi**
As long as you don't mind that
I'll still be on the cheer squad, too.
**[09:39] Tsubasa**
Of course, that's fine!
**[09:43] Tsubasa**
Tomocchi, we'll have to
celebrate on our way home!
**[09:46] Tomoe**
Celebrate?
**[09:50] Tsubasa**
So good!
**[09:52] Tomoe**
I know! But... this is what
you meant by "celebrate"?
**[09:55] Tsubasa**
Well, I was hungry.
**[09:58] Aoi**
Ooh, I got an extra slice of pork!
**[10:02] Yoshimi**
See?
**[10:02] Yoshimi**
Good luck follows her everywhere!
**[10:07] Waka**
Suspicious...
**[10:08] Lady**
Here are your pork buns.
**[10:11] Lady**
And here's your special fried rice.
**[10:12] Both**
It's here!
**[10:14] Lady**
Enjoy.
**[10:20] Waka**
Nakano-san.
**[10:21] Tsubasa**
Oh, Nakano-san! What a coincidence.
**[10:23] Waka**
It's no coincidence.
She's been following us the whole time.
**[10:27] Tsubasa**
Huh?
**[10:29] Ayaka**
Urk! I've done it now!
I'm a disgrace to journalists everywhere!
**[10:35] Tsubasa**
In-depth coverage?
**[10:37] Ayaka**
Yep! I was hoping to write about
your team for the school paper.
**[10:42] Waka**
Why? There are plenty of other clubs.
**[10:45] Ayaka**
High school girls playing with hard baseballs
is a treasure trove of dreams!
**[10:49] Ayaka**
Up until recently, there weren't any
high schools with a girls' baseball team.
**[10:55] Ayaka**
Middle schools and universities had them,
**[10:57] Ayaka**
but for some reason, no high schools did.
**[10:58] Tsubasa**
Wow, really?
**[11:01] Waka**
You didn't know?
**[11:02] Ayaka**
So high school girls could
only play for club teams,
**[11:05] Ayaka**
or play on boys' teams, where they
couldn't play in official games.
**[11:13] Ayaka**
Then, in 1995, a friendly game
using hardballs was organized,
***SIGN*** Fussa Municipal Fussa Baseball Field
**[11:18] Ayaka**
pitting a team of high school girls
against a team from abroad.
**[11:21] Ayaka**
That spawned the idea of holding
a national tournament for high school girls.
**[11:27] Ayaka**
Then, little by little, girls' baseball
teams started popping up.
**[11:33] Ayaka**
There are currently around
30 schools in the league.
**[11:37] Ayaka**
More and more girls have gone pro, too.
**[11:40] Ayaka**
But it's still only 30 schools.
**[11:43] Ayaka**
Girls' baseball has only
just started catching on,
**[11:46] Ayaka**
and I'm going to make it
even more widespread!
**[11:49] Ayaka**
Gold like this makes me
feel lucky I'm a journalist!
**[11:52] Tsubasa**
I'm totally feeling your passion right now!
**[11:55] Tsubasa**
I gladly accept your proposal
to do a feature on us!
**[11:57] Waka**
It might help us recruit new members, too.
**[12:00] Ayaka**
That's what I wanted to hear!
**[12:02] Saki**
Speaking of baseball,
there are some batting cages near here.
**[12:05] Tsubasa**
Oh, that's right! There are!
**[12:07] Yuuki**
What are batting cages like?
**[12:10] Waka**
You don't know?
**[12:11] Tsubasa**
Let's go there! After all,
seeing is... um... something or other!
**[12:16] Tomoe**
I think you mean...
**[12:18] Tomoe**
"Seeing is believing."
**[12:24] Tsubasa**
I used to come to these
batting cages all the time!
**[12:26] Waka**
Same. I was only accompanying
my brother, though.
**[12:30] Kid**
Outta the park, bro!
**[12:33] Kid**
Dammit!
**[12:35] Kid**
Keep your eye on the ball.
**[12:37] Kid**
I know!
**[12:39] Akane**
They look like... they're having fun.
**[12:42] Yuuki**
He must have played on a youth team.
**[12:45] Tomoe**
Just like you did, Tsubasa!
**[12:49] Tsubasa**
Yeah, maybe.
**[12:50] Yuuki**
Um...
**[12:52] Yuuki**
Nakano-san mentioned
club teams earlier.
**[12:55] Yuuki**
Girls can play baseball there too, right?
**[12:57] Waka**
Sure, if they're good enough.
**[13:10] Tsubasa**
Go for it, Tomocchi!
**[13:12] Tomoe**
All right...
**[13:14] Tomoe**
Huh? I missed...
**[13:16] Tsubasa**
Watch the ball until the very last second.
**[13:18] Tomoe**
Until the very last second...
**[13:23] Waka**
If it's a fastball, I just
need to get the timing right.
**[13:27] Waka**
Left

Hit
**[13:32] Waka**
One more.
**[13:39] Yuuki**
I did it!
**[13:42] Aoi**
What?

*That can't be right...*
**[13:50] Aoi**
I can predict them now!

Try it this way.
**[14:28] Tsubasa**
Try standing like this.
**[14:31] Akane**
Like... this?
**[14:34] Tsubasa**
Yeah, that's it!
**[14:35] Tsubasa**
Then, you just have to
pump yourself up to hit it!
**[14:38] Akane**
P-Pump myself up?

So how do you feel after your first hit?
**[14:59] Akane**
Huh?
**[15:01] Akane**
Happy... I think...
**[15:03] Ayaka**
Uh-huh, uh-huh...
**[15:06] Tsubasa**
Nakano-san, why don't you give it a go?
**[15:08] Ayaka**
Huh?
**[15:08] Tsubasa**
You'll understand more if you
taste that feeling for yourself!
**[15:13] Ayaka**
Is this right?
**[15:14] Tsubasa**
Yeah, that's great! Now, just stay focused.
**[15:18] Ayaka**
And pump myself up, right?
**[15:21] Ayaka**
I took notes earlier.
**[15:23] Tsubasa**
You're one shrewd journalist. Go for it!
**[15:27] Ayaka**
I'm gonna hit it!
**[15:30] Ayaka**
Right
Field

**[15:34] Ayaka**
I hit it!
**[15:36] Tsubasa**
Great job!
**[15:37] Tsubasa**
So how did it feel?
**[15:41] Ayaka**
Um...
**[15:43] Ayaka**
It felt great!
**[15:45] Tsubasa**
Doesn't it?
**[15:47] Tomoe**
Darn...
**[15:48] Waka**
One more.
**[15:49] Yuuki**
I did it!
**[15:57] Ayaka**
I see...
**[15:58] Ayaka**
Okay! I'll try one more, too!
**[16:00] Tsubasa**
Yeah! That's the spirit!
**[16:14] Akane**
Arihara-san, I don't think I can hit it.
**[16:17] Akane**
Could you show me how again?
**[16:19] Tsubasa**
Okay!
**[16:20] Tsubasa**
Like this, see? Tighten your arms.
**[16:23] Akane**
L-Like this?
**[16:24] Tsubasa**
Yeah! Now, just pump yourself up!
**[16:42] Tsubasa**
Wow...
**[16:49] Ayaka**
I think she's...
**[16:51] Tsubasa**
I'm gonna...
**[16:52] Tsubasa**
I'm gonna go hit some, too!
**[16:54] Akane**
Arihara-san!
**[17:38] Akane**
So cool...
**[17:39] Ayaka**
This smells like a scoop!
**[17:45] Yuuki**
Arihara-san really is incredible!
**[17:49] Tomoe**
Isn't she? Tsubasa's always
been amazing at baseball.
**[18:17] Ayaka**
So you're Shinonome-san,
right? From Class 5?
**[18:20] Tsubasa**
That was some amazing batting!
**[18:23] Ryou**
Was it?
**[18:25] Tsubasa**
Hey, would you be—
**[18:26] Ryou**
You think...
**[18:28] Ryou**
...baseball is just a game now, don't you?
**[18:31] Tsubasa**
Huh?
**[18:33] Ryou**
I was sure we'd get to face each other again.
**[18:36] Ryou**
I can't believe you
decided to play pretend.
**[18:39] Ryou**
I have to go.
**[18:45] Tomoe**
What's *her* problem?
What did she mean by "play pretend"?
**[18:48] Yuuki**
Now, now...
**[18:51] Tsubasa**
That girl...
***SIGN*** Girls' Baseball Association!
***SIGN*** Remember to knock!
**[18:57] Ayaka**
Take a look at this!
**[18:58] Ayaka**
I got a real scoop!
**[19:00] Tomoe**
Nakano-san, when did you do this?
**[19:02] Ayaka**
I found it last night.
**[19:05] Ayaka**
It's the semifinal game of the All-Japan
Senior Little League Championship!
**[19:09] Akane**
Is that...
**[19:10] Ayaka**
Yep! It's Shinonome-san,
the girl from yesterday!
**[19:14] Ayaka**
And this here is...
**[19:16] All**
Arihara-san!
**[19:18] Tomoe**
That brings back memories.
**[19:27] Tsubasa**
You're Shinonome-san, right?
From Kuramoto Chuo Senior?
**[19:30] Tsubasa**
I was at Fujiura Senior...
**[19:32] Ryou**
I never thought we'd end up
in the same high school.
**[19:35] Tsubasa**
You came to a high school
without a baseball team too, huh?
**[19:39] Ryou**
I intend to join a club team.
**[19:42] Ryou**
One that competes at the highest level.
**[19:44] Ryou**
I have a tryout this weekend.
**[19:47] Tsubasa**
I see.
**[19:52] Ryou**
What about you?
**[19:54] Tsubasa**
Oh, I'm having lots of fun!
**[19:55] Tsubasa**
The other girls are newbies,
but I think they can...
**[19:58] Ryou**
I can't fathom why you'd play pretend
with a bunch of first-timers.
**[20:03] Tsubasa**
That's...
**[20:06] Ryou**
Or...
**[20:07] Ryou**
Did you not take that game seriously, either?
**[20:11] Tsubasa**
Th-That's not...
**[20:16] Ryou**
Not that it matters.
**[20:18] Ryou**
You're wasting your time if you're
here to ask me to join your team.
**[20:24] Ryou**
I'm aiming at going pro.
I don't have time to mess around.
**[20:30] Ayaka**
In other words, Arihara Tsubasa won
a national Senior Little League tournament!
**[20:36] Akane**
She won a national tournament?
**[20:38] Waka**
I knew there was more to her than she let on.
**[20:40] Yuuki**
Kawakita-san, why did Arihara-san
start a baseball team here
**[20:44] Yuuki**
instead of joining a club team?
**[20:46] Tomoe**
Huh?
**[20:47] Yuuki**
It's been eating at me.
**[20:49] Yuuki**
She seems good enough
to play for a club team.
**[20:53] Tomoe**
Well... um...
**[20:57] Tsubasa**
Arihara, coming in!
**[21:03] Tsubasa**
What? What's going on?
**[21:08] Tsubasa**
I was in the All-Japan Senior Little League
tournament last summer.
**[21:14] Tsubasa**

Don't sweat it.

Let's not give up
any more runs this inning!
**(Flashback) [01:14] Kid**
Not like we can catch up, anyway.
**(Flashback) [01:15] Tsubasa**
Isn't this fun?
**(Flashback) [01:17] Kid**
H-How is this fun?
**(Flashback) [01:19] Tsubasa**
I mean, we all get to play

We still have two innings left.

to give up, do you, Arihara?

Damn... We can't lose heart now!

You've got this! Give it all you've got!
**(Flashback) [01:48] Kid**
You can hit it!

C'mon, get us a hit!

Yes!

**[03:37] Ryou**
*Shut up.*
**(Flashback) [03:38] Kid**
It's all on you!
**[03:39] Ryou**
*Be quiet!*
**[04:08] Ayaka**
I can't believe you clawed it back
and won with a walk-off grand slam!
**[04:11] Aoi**
Arihara's got the right stuff!
**[04:13] Tomoe**
That game was incredible!
**[04:16] Tomoe**
Tsubasa was the only one
communicating at first,
**[04:19] Tomoe**
but eventually, the whole
team found its voice.
**[04:23] Tsubasa**
Yeah.
**[04:24] Ayaka**
And, riding that wave, the team
went on to win the tournament.
**[04:29] Ayaka**
Miss Arihara, how did it feel when
your team won the championship?
**[04:35] Tsubasa**
I thought, "My baseball days are over."
***SIGN*** Though We May Stand at a Crossroads
**[06:22] Tsubasa**
For a good six months after that summer,
I didn't play any baseball at all.
**[06:28] Tsubasa**
If it wasn't for Tomocchi,
**[06:30] Tsubasa**
I probably would've quit for good.
***SIGN*** Arihara
**(Flashback) [06:54] Tomoe**
Tsubasa? I'm coming in.
**(Flashback) [07:00] Tomoe**
I heard you quit the team.
**(Flashback) [07:03] Tsubasa**
Yeah.
**(Flashback) [07:06] Tsubasa**
I mean, the tournament's over.
**(Flashback) [07:08] Tsubasa**
I wanted to keep playing with everyone,
**(Flashback) [07:11] Tsubasa**
but the boys have
a different goal than me now.
**(Flashback) [07:14] Tomoe**
A different... goal?
**(Flashback) [07:21] Tsubasa**
I seriously had a ton of fun, though!
**(Flashback) [07:24] Tsubasa**
So it's okay. We even won the championship.
**(Flashback) [07:28] Tsubasa**
All right! Time to focus on
entrance exams! Let's do this!
**(Flashback) [07:32] Tomoe**
You got over that quick...
**(Flashback) [07:34] Tsubasa**
What school are you applying to?
**(Flashback) [07:35] Tomoe**
I'm going for Satogahama.
**(Flashback) [07:37] Tsubasa**
Then I'll apply there, too.
**(Flashback) [07:40] Tomoe**
Huh? Um... You might be
cutting it a little close...
**(Flashback) [07:44] Tsubasa**
Really?!
**(Flashback) [07:46] Tsubasa**
Tomocchi!
**(Flashback) [07:48] Tomoe**
Okay, okay! I'll help you study.
**(Flashback) [07:54] Tomoe**
I'm so glad you got in.
**(Flashback) [07:56] Tsubasa**
All thanks to you, Tomocchi!
**(Flashback) [08:12] Tomoe**
That was impressive!
Think you could've hit that?
**(Flashback) [08:15] Tsubasa**
Maybe? I think I...
**(Flashback) [08:19] Tsubasa**
I'm done with all that now.
**(Flashback) [08:27] Tomoe**
You know, I used to hate baseball.
**(Flashback) [08:32] Tomoe**
Because when you first started playing,
you stopped hanging out with me.
**(Flashback) [08:36] Tomoe**
I felt like I'd lost my friend.
**(Flashback) [08:39] Tsubasa**
I-I'm sorry...
**(Flashback) [08:40] Tomoe**
But then... when I saw
how much fun you were having,
**(Flashback) [08:44] Tomoe**
I slowly grew to like it.
**(Flashback) [08:46] Tomoe**
I was surprised to see
how crazy you were about it.
**(Flashback) [08:48] Tsubasa**
Tomocchi...
**(Flashback) [08:51] Tomoe**
And you still... love baseball, don't you?
**(Flashback) [08:55] Tomoe**
See? You look so happy!
**(Flashback) [08:58] Tsubasa**
N-Not really...
**(Flashback) [09:00] Tomoe**
No more lying to your best friend, okay?
**(Flashback) [09:04] Tsubasa**
Okay...
**(Flashback) [09:05] Tsubasa**
I... really do love baseball.
**(Flashback) [09:10] Tomoe**
Let me join you from now on!
**(Flashback) [09:12] Tsubasa**
Huh?
**(Flashback) [09:13] Tomoe**
I'm saying, let's play together!
**(Flashback) [09:15] Tomoe**
Come on!
**(Flashback) [09:21] Tomoe**
I caught it!
**(Flashback) [09:22] Tsubasa**
Nice catch!
**(Flashback) [09:25] Tsubasa**
Thanks... Tomocchi.
**[09:31] Yuuki**
So that's what happened.
**[09:33] Tsubasa**
I was surprised when I found out
Satogahama didn't have a baseball team,
**[09:38] Tsubasa**
but I decided I'd start a team
with Tomocchi's help
**[09:41] Tsubasa**
and bring baseball lovers together
**[09:43] Tsubasa**
so we can all enjoy the
sport I love to the fullest!
**[09:48] Tsubasa**
So thank you all for joining me.
**[09:51] Waka**
It's not as if we're here
just for you, though.
**[09:54] Yuuki**
It's because we want to play!
**[09:57] Tsubasa**
Sure. But I wanted you all to know that.
**[10:00] Tsubasa**
I mean, with two more members,
we can actually field a team!
**[10:02] Waka**
That's true. We need nine people.
**[10:08] Ayaka**
Maybe I'll sign up, too.
**[10:10] Tsubasa**
Really?!
**[10:11] Ayaka**
I had a lot of fun
in those batting cages, and...
**[10:15] Ayaka**
Your tale tugged at my heartstrings.
**[10:18] Ayaka**
Girls' baseball isn't just bursting
with dreams, but with drama, too!
**[10:24] Ayaka**
Super glad to be here.
**[10:24] Tsubasa**
Super glad to have you!
**[10:27] Yuuki**
That means...
**[10:30] All**
We only need one more!
**[10:34] Waka**
I think it's time we worked
out everyone's positions.
**[10:36] Tsubasa**
Good idea.
**[10:37] Tsubasa**
If anyone has a position
they want to play, speak up.
**[10:41] Waka**
Mind if I volunteer to play catcher?
**[10:44] Waka**
I want to put everything
I've learned to use.
**[10:47] Yuuki**
That seems like a perfect fit for you.
**[10:50] Tomoe**
Yeah! You do know a lot about baseball.
**[10:52] Tsubasa**
Sounds great!
**[10:53] Yoshimi**
I'll be rooting for you!
***SIGN*** Sports Medicine

**[11:03] Waka**
We'll need to come up with
a pre-game practice regimen.
**[11:07] Tsubasa**
I found the sports section!
**[11:09] Tsubasa**
This one looks good!
**[11:11] Waka**
We should find one
that's more for beginners.
**[11:14] Tsubasa**
I can't wait to start
playing in actual games!
**[11:23] Waka**
We still need one more member
before we can do that.
**[11:26] Waka**
It'd be great if
Shinonome-san joined us, but...
**(Flashback) [11:30] Ryou**
You're wasting your time if you're
here to ask me to join your team.
**(Flashback) [11:34] Ryou**
I'm aiming at going pro.
I don't have time to mess around.

**[11:48] Ryou**
My answer won't change.
**[11:50] Tsubasa**
Right. We know it won't.
**[11:52] Tsubasa**
Oh, did you say your club
team tryout was on Saturday?
**[11:56] Ryou**
Yes, I did.
**[11:58] Ryou**
Why?
**[11:59] Tsubasa**
No reason.
**[12:05] Ryou**
* Keep goofing off with*

**[12:11] Ryou**
*I'm going to go much further.*

Hurrah! Hurrah! Shinonome!
**[13:06] Ryou**
What are *you* doing here?!
**[13:07] Tsubasa**
We're cheering you on!
**[13:09] Ryou**
I never asked you to do that!
**[13:11] Tsubasa**
Well, you've gotta cheer on your friends!
**[13:13] Ryou**
F-Friends?
**[13:15] Tsubasa**
The baseball association is for
friends to enjoy baseball together!
**[13:19] Ryou**
You're crazy!
**[13:20] Coach**
Tryouts will now begin.
**[13:23] Coach**
Participants, please line up by position.
**[13:26] Tsubasa**
Go get 'em, Shinonome-san!
**[13:32] Coach**
The tryouts will be conducted in the form
of a game against our starters.
**[13:36] Coach**
You'll each get a go, so when it's
your turn, show us what you can do.
**[13:40] All**
Yes, Coach!
**[13:41] Aoi**
It's starting!
**[13:43] Yoshimi**
Yep!
**[13:47] Ayaka**
That guy might be future pro material!
**[13:50] Akane**
Um... I should've asked this earlier,
**[13:54] Akane**
but how is a club team
different from a sandlot team?
**[13:58] Waka**
The biggest difference is that
they get to play in official games.
**[14:02] Waka**
Some club teams are operated by businesses,
**[14:05] Waka**
while others, like this one,
are run by volunteers.
**[14:08] Waka**
Many pro players start out on club teams.
**[14:11] Akane**
Oh...
**[14:13] Aoi**
She's up next!
**[14:22] Tsubasa**
You can do it, Shinonome-san!
**[14:24] Yoshimi**
It's all about guts and gumption! Shinonome!
**[14:54] Both**
I got it! I got it!
**[14:56] Ryou**
Second!
**[15:01] Guy**
Don't worry about it.
**[15:03] Guy**
You'll get it next time.
**[15:04] Guy**
My bad.
**[15:14] Umpire**
Safe!
**[15:17] Ryou**
This isn't just some game!
**[15:19] Ryou**
I'm serious about this! You think you can...
**[15:31] Yuuki**
What happened?
**[15:33] Aoi**
The pressure got to her...
**[15:48] Yuuki**
If Shinonome-san gets a hit,
they could take the lead.
**[15:51] Waka**
This is a tryout. It doesn't
matter who wins or loses.
**[15:54] Waka**
Still, at the rate this is going, she's...
**[16:19] Ryou**
*Again?*
**[16:21] Ryou**
* Am I going to helplessly flame out*
* without reaching my goal yet again?*
**[16:26] Tsubasa**
Shinonome-san!
**[16:28] Ryou**
*I'm...*
**[16:30] Tsubasa**
Shinonome-san!
**[16:31] Ryou**
*No!*
**[16:32] Tsubasa**
Hurrah! Hurrah! Shinonome!
**[16:36] Tsubasa**
Go, go, Shinonome!
**[16:38] Tsubasa**
You're just getting started, Shinonome!
**[16:40] Ryou**
Stop it already!
**[16:42] Tsubasa**
I won't stop!
**[16:43] Ryou**
Why not?!
**[16:44] Tsubasa**
I don't want you to give up like I did!
**[16:47] Ryou**
Huh?
**[16:49] Tsubasa**
I already gave up on
playing baseball my way once,
**[16:53] Tsubasa**
so seeing you trying so hard
to take the next step amazes me!
**[16:57] Tsubasa**
Even if I can't play with you,
**[16:59] Tsubasa**
I want you to keep playing
baseball the way you want to!
**[17:03] Tsubasa**
So I want to cheer you on!
**[17:06] Tsubasa**
You can do it!
**[17:12] Tomoe**
Hurrah! Hurrah! Shinonome!
**[17:15] Tomoe**
Hurrah! Hurrah! Shinonome!
**[17:19] All**
Hurrah! Hurrah! Shinonome!
**[17:23] Yoshimi**
Go, go, Shinonome!
**[17:25] All**
Don't lose, don't lose, Shinonome!
**[17:28] Waka**
You guys...
**[17:31] Yuuki**
There may be times when being
cheered on puts you under more pressure.
**[17:35] Yuuki**
But when you're feeling
tense or discouraged...
**[17:39] Yuuki**
I believe that just having someone
calling out to you can give you courage.
**[17:47] Akane**
You can do it!
**[17:48] Waka**
Next time! There's always next time!
**[17:50] Aoi**
Don't worry about it!
**[17:52] Tsubasa**
You can still do this!
**[17:57] Ryou**
Honestly, just give it a rest.
**[17:59] Ryou**
Who said anything about giving up?
**[18:03] Ryou**
*I'll decide when this is over.*
**[18:05] Ryou**
*And my baseball days won't end here!*
**[18:10] Ryou**
Nice catch!
**[18:12] Guy**
Yours was good, too.
**[18:13] Guy**
Nice catch!
**[18:14] Guy**
Let's lock these guys down!
**[18:16] All**
Yeah!
**[18:20] Tsubasa**
Go for it, Shinonome-san!
**[18:22] Akane**
G-Go for it!
**[18:23] Guy**
Take a swing!
**[18:25] Guy**
It's not over yet!
**[18:33] Yuuki**
You almost had it!
**[18:35] Ayaka**
You'll get the next one!
**[18:41] Aoi**
Nice running!
**[18:42] Tomoe**
That's it!
**[18:49] Tsubasa**
Way to go, Shinonome-san!
**[19:04] Tsubasa**
Go!
**[19:43] Waka**
Okay, let's start individual practice.
**[19:45] Tomoe**
Here!
**[19:54] Ryou**
Hey, you guys...
**[19:56] Ryou**
What... kind of practice is this?
**[20:04] Ryou**
You need to lower your hips
in preparation for catching the ball.
**[20:09] Akane**
R-Right!
**[20:10] Ryou**
Also...
**[20:15] Ryou**
Hold the bat tighter.
**[20:17] Ryou**
But don't grip harder than necessary.
**[20:19] Yoshimi**
O-Okay!
**[20:22] Ryou**
For soft toss hitting,
aim for the center of the ball.
**[20:25] Ayaka**
W-Wait... What happened with the tryouts?
**[20:34] Ryou**
As for the person throwing...
**[20:36] Aoi**
She totally ignored her...
**[20:38] Yoshimi**
Tell us how it turned out!
We're dying to know!
**[21:03] Ryou**
I failed.
**[21:09] Ryou**
So what? It is what it is.
**[21:15] Ryou**
Don't get the wrong idea. I have no regrets.
**[21:18] Ryou**
In the end, I gave it my all.
**[21:25] Ryou**
*I...*
**[21:28] Ryou**
*I can get stronger.*
**[21:37] Ryou**
Give me the ball.
**[21:40] Tsubasa**
Sure!

**[00:37] Waka**
That's right. Let's start with
our new practice regimen right away.
**[00:40] Tsubasa**
Yeah!
**[00:42] Tsubasa**
But first, I have a suggestion!
**[00:45] Waka**
Go on.
**[00:46] Tsubasa**
So... why don't we play a real game?
***SIGN*** Our First Game!
**[02:25] Sensei**
A practice game, huh?
**[02:27] Tsubasa**
Yeah! Our usual practices are fun,
**[02:30] Tsubasa**
but actual games are
what baseball is all about!
**[02:33] Aoi**
A contest?
**[02:34] Aoi**
That sounds fun!
**[02:37] Yuuki**
Um, who will we play against?
**[02:39] Tsubasa**
I'll find an opponent soon.
**[02:41] Ryou**
You didn't do that before suggesting it?
**[02:44] Waka**
Ideally, it would be a girls'
baseball team, like ours.
**[02:48] Akane**
C-Can we handle that?
**[02:51] Ryou**
Frankly, there's no way we can win.
**[02:54] Ayaka**
You say that so calmly.
**[03:01] Tsubasa**
There's nothing to worry about!
**[03:03] Tsubasa**
It's only for practice.
**[03:06] Tsubasa**
No matter how good the other team is,
**[03:08] Tsubasa**
we should just think of it as having
them help us and enjoy the experience.
**[03:12] Yuuki**
Y-You're right. We've been practicing
for two months now, after all.
**[03:17] Yuuki**
To be honest, I've been thinking
I'd like to play in a real game, too.
**[03:22] Akana**
A-Actually, so have I.
**[03:24] Tsubasa**
That settles it, then!
**[03:26] Sensei**
I'll get in touch with
other schools in the prefecture
**[03:28] Sensei**
to help you find a team to play.
**[03:30] All**
Thank you, ma'am!
**[03:32] Waka**
There's something I'd like to say too,
and this seems like a good time.
**[03:37] All**
What is it?
**[03:38] All**
What?
**[03:40] Waka**
I'm going to announce what
positions everyone will play.
**[03:44] Waka**
I took each person's
preferences into consideration,
**[03:47] Waka**
and consulted with Arihara-san
and Shinonome-san to work it all out.
**[03:51] Waka**
Now...
**[03:53] Waka**
First base: Nozaki-san.
**[03:55] Yuuki**
Okay!
**[03:56] Waka**
On second: Kawakita-san.
**[03:58] Tomoe**
O-Okay!
**[03:59] Waka**
On third: Asada-senpai.
**[04:01] Aoi**
You got it!
**[04:04] Waka**
Shortstop: Arihara-san.
**[04:05] Tsubasa**
Yep!
**[04:07] Waka**
Left field: Iwaki-senpai.
**[04:09] Yoshimi**
Right!
**[04:09] Waka**
Center field: Nakano-san.
**[04:12] Nakano**
Got it!
**[04:13] Waka**
Right field: Ukita-san.
**[04:15] Akane**
O-Okay!
**[04:16] Waka**
The catcher will be myself, Suzuki.
**[04:19] Waka**
And finally, our pitcher...
**[04:21] Waka**
will be Shinonome-san.
**[04:24] Ryou**
It's not my usual position, but all right.
**[05:18] Waka**
We'll be practicing for the game
in these positions.
**[05:23] Waka**
If anyone has any questions, just ask!
**[05:25] Aoi**
Me!
**[05:26] Aoi**
I have a question!
**[05:28] Waka**
Go ahead.
**[05:29] Aoi**
Will we be playing the game
in our tracksuits?
**[05:34] All**
We forgot!

**[05:46] Ryou**

**[06:04] Tsubasa**
That means getting

**[06:08] Owner**
By the way, what kind of design did you want?

we can do them for you, within reason.

Th-These are uniforms for the baseball team?
**[06:19] Tomoe**
Yeah. You're in the art club,

**[07:02] Yuuki**
Are they famous?
**[07:05] Waka**
The boys' team is very good.
They've been to nationals before.
**[07:08] Waka**
I didn't know they had a girls' team.
**[07:11] Ryou**
I can't believe a school like that would...
**[07:13] Sensei**
I followed Nakano-san's advice
**[07:14] Sensei**
and told them we had players who have
been to the Senior Little League nationals,
**[07:19] Sensei**
and they were happy to agree!
**[07:24] Sensei**
They suggested a date two weeks from now.
**[07:26] Tomoe**
That's not much time.
**[07:28] Waka**
I'll try to come up with a strategy
that'll give us the best chance to compete.
**[07:33] Waka**
In the meantime,
let's get plenty of practice in.
**[07:36] All**
Yeah!
**[07:37] All**
We'll all work hard!
**[07:38] All**
Let's do this!
**[07:40] Ryou**
Should they be celebrating this much?
**[07:43] Tsubasa**
For where we are now,
I think it's about right.
**[07:55] Tsubasa**
Get a sense for how the ball moves!
**[08:17] Waka**
So when that happens, use a bunt to...
**[08:23] Both**
They're done!
***SIGN*** Two Weeks Later
**[08:38] Sayaka**
I'm Jinguji Sayaka, captain of
the Seijo High School girls' baseball team.
**[08:42] Sayaka**
Let's make today's practice game a good one.
**[08:46] Tsubasa**
I'm Arihara Tsubasa of the Satogahama
High School baseball association.
**[08:50] Tsubasa**
Thanks for playing us today!
**[08:53] Umpire**
Play ball!
**[09:14] Umpire**
Strike!
**[09:20] Umpire**
Strike two!
**[09:22] Girl**
*Two inside pitches in a row.*
**[09:24] Girl**
*The next one will go outside.*
**[09:27] Umpire**
Strike three!
**[09:30] Sensei**
Wow!
**[09:34] Waka**
*Those pitches were good.*
**[09:35] Waka**
*I'm not very good at catching curveballs yet,*
**[09:38] Waka**
* but Shinonome-san's sharp fastballs*
* do the job just fine.*
**[09:42] Waka**
*If she can vary its flight and speed...*
**[09:44] Umpire**
Strike three!
**[09:46] Waka**
*They won't be easy to hit.*
**[09:48] Umpire**
Strike three!
**[09:52] Tsubasa**
Nice pitching!
**[09:53] Ryou**
Thanks.
**[09:56] Sayaka**
Let's go.
**[09:57] Seijo**
Right!
**[09:58] Crowd**
You can do it!
**[09:59] Yoshimi**
Go for it, Nakano!
**[10:02] Ayaka**
I've got this!
**[10:10] Ayaka**
Yikes!
**[10:12] Waka**
Go!
**[10:17] Waka**
Nakano-san's putting her speed to good use.
**[10:20] Waka**
Asada-senpai!
**[10:22] Aoi**
I know!
**[10:23] Aoi**
I just need a little...
**[10:29] Aoi**
There!
**[10:32] Sayaka**
First!
**[10:39] Yuuki**
Nice bunt!
**[10:41] Waka**
So she was listening at the meeting.
**[10:43] Aoi**
To trick the enemy,
you must first trick your allies!
**[10:47] Tsubasa**
All right, I'm going in.
**[10:48] Tomoe**
Tsubasa, make it happen!
**[10:50] Tsubasa**
I'm on it!
**[10:55] Sayaka**
* She's the one who was on the winning team*
* at the Senior Little League nationals, huh?*
**[11:12] Waka**
Stop!
**[11:12] Tsubasa**
Yay!
**[11:14] Yuuki**
Nice batting!
**[11:21] Hana**
*Sayaka...*
**[11:23] Sayaka**
*There's no need to get flustered.*
**[11:32] Ryou**
*She's thrown nothing but fastballs, too.*
**[11:41] Ryou**
*Got it!*
**[11:45] Waka**
Nakano-san!
**[11:47] Sayaka**
Second!
***SIGN*** Seijo
***SIGN*** Satogahama
**[11:55] All**
All right!
**[11:57] Yuuki**
We did it!
**[11:59] Yuuki**
The Satogahama High School girls' baseball
association just scored their first run!
**[12:05] Akane**
We might... actually win?
**[12:07] Tsubasa**
Let's go for it!
**[12:09] All**
Yeah!
**[12:24] Ryou**
*Their right fielder has a first base glove?*
**[12:28] Ryou**
*But why?*
**[12:30] Yoshimi**
Let's keep this going!
**[12:32] Yoshimi**
Hi-yah!
**[12:34] Umpire**
Strike three!
**[12:36] Yoshimi**
Eh?
**[12:53] Umpire**
Strike three!
**[12:55] Ryou**
*There's only one reason I can think of.*
**[13:09] Waka**
* Getting a run on the board*
* in the first inning was ideal.*
**[13:12] Waka**
*I have to keep up the momentum.*
**[13:26] Waka**
Strike two!
**[13:28] Waka**
*That was...*
**[13:29] Aoi**
What was *that*?
**[13:31] Tsubasa**
A slider. It's amazing how
much break she got on that.
**[13:35] Tomoe**
Is it even possible to hit that?
**[13:38] Ryou**
So I was right...
**[13:49] Tomoe**
I blew it...
**[13:51] Tsubasa**
Don't worry about it, Tomocchi!
**[13:52] Tomoe**
Okay.
**[13:58] Sayaka**
This is our chance.
**[14:06] Ryou**
Ukita-san! Come short!
**[14:14] Akane**
S-Sorry...
**[14:16] Tsubasa**
They haven't scored yet!
**[14:24] Sayaka**
Makino-san, make sure you get on base.
**[14:27] Hana**
Right.
**[14:42] Umpire**
Ball four!
**[14:45] Sensei**
*The bases are loaded...*
**[14:48] Tsubasa**
We're still in this! Stay focused!
***SIGN*** Seijo
***SIGN*** Satogahama
**[15:00] Tsubasa**
We're still tied!
**[15:02] Yuuki**
That's right! There's still time!
**[15:09] Tsubasa**
Two outs! Two outs!
**[15:12] Waka**
*The momentum's shifting the other way...*
**[15:14] Ryou**
*I have to stop them now!*
**[15:18] Ryou**
*Crap!*
**[15:31] Ayaka**
They took the lead... that easily?
**[15:35] Sayaka**
It's no use.
**[15:38] Sayaka**
I've figured out her pitches.
***SIGN*** Seijo
***SIGN*** Satogahama
**[15:53] Tsubasa**
It's only the third inning!
We still have a chance!
**[15:56] Ryou**
It won't be that easy.
**[15:58] Tsubasa**
If we come up with a way
to counter her slider...
**[16:01] Ryou**
It's not just that.
Haven't you noticed it yet?
**[16:05] Ryou**
Seijo's infielders are using
outfielders' gloves, and vice versa.
**[16:13] Tsubasa**
The infielders and
outfielders swapped around?
**[16:16] Ryou**
From here on out, they'll be
playing their real positions.
**[16:20] Aoi**
They tricked us?!
**[16:24] Ryou**
Even if they did,
there's nothing wrong in that.
**[16:27] Ryou**
This is a practice game, after all.
**[16:30] Ryou**
Playing positions they're not used to,
and sacrificing their order's first at-bats
**[16:34] Ryou**
to figure out a pitcher's pitches...
**[16:38] Ryou**
Seijo has been focusing on
their own goals this whole time.
**[16:44] Ryou**
Their mindset toward this game
is totally different than ours.
**[16:48] Ryou**
We'd lost before this game even started.

Oh, you're the only one here, Tomocchi?
**[17:11] Tsubasa**
Where's Ukita-san?
**[17:12] Tomoe**
She said she'd be late.
**[17:14] Tomoe**
What about Suzuki-san and the rest?
**[17:15] Tsubasa**
They said they'd be late.
**[17:22] Ryou**
Ukita-san?
**[17:25] Akana**
Shinonome-san...
**[17:27] Ryou**
You're not going to practice?
**[17:30] Ryou**
Because of yesterday?
**[17:32] Akane**
Um... well...
**[17:34] Ryou**
I get that you feel bad
about the mistakes you made.
**[17:38] Ryou**
I do, too.
**[17:41] Tsubasa**
No one's coming.
**[17:43] Tomoe**
They're just running a little late.
**[17:47] Tsubasa**
Maybe it's my fault...
**[17:49] Tomoe**
No, it's not!
**[17:50] Tsubasa**
This was their first game,
**[17:54] Tsubasa**
but I guess I got more excited
about it than they did.
**[18:01] Tomoe**
One!
**[18:02] Tomoe**
Two!
**[18:04] Tomoe**
Three!
**[18:05] Tomoe**
Four!
**[18:07] Ryou**
So... you know... I mean, you...
**[18:11] Ryou**
You weren't the reason we lost.
**[18:16] Akane**
Thanks.
**[18:18] Tomoe**
Forty-six!
**[18:20] Tomoe**
Forty-seven!
**[18:22] Tomoe**
Forty-eight!
**[18:24] Tomoe**
Forty-nine!
**[18:27] Tomoe**
We're out of balls...
**[18:30] Tsubasa**
Time to pick them up...
**[18:32] Tomoe**
Yeah.
**[18:47] Yuuki**
Sorry we're late!
**[18:53] Tsubasa**
You guys...
**[19:02] Waka**
Hey, why don't we review the game?
**[19:05] Tsubasa**
Huh?
**[19:06] Waka**
We didn't get to yesterday,
because everyone went straight home.
**[19:10] Waka**
We should all discuss what we need
to improve. It'll help us in the future.
**[19:17] Waka**
Let's start with me.
**[19:22] Waka**
I got so caught up in winning and losing,
**[19:23] Waka**
I forgot to set goals we could work on
during the game to help us improve!
**[19:30] Ayaka**
I had so much fun practicing,
**[19:32] Ayaka**
I failed to scout the other team!
**[19:35] Ayaka**
I could've helped Suzuki out!
**[19:39] Yuuki**
I let myself get discouraged!
**[19:46] Akane**
Me, too!
**[19:48] Akane**
I got scared.
**[19:50] Akane**
And you, Shinonome-san?
**[19:52] Ryou**
Huh?
**[19:55] Ryou**
I guess... I lost control of my pitches.
**[19:58] Yoshimi**
I didn't cheer us on enough!
**[20:01] Waka**
Senpai, you need to work on
knowing when to swing!
**[20:05] Yoshimi**
You're right.
**[20:07] Yoshimi**
You, Aoi?
**[20:07] Aoi**
Nothing!
**[20:08] Yuuki**
Nothing at all?
**[20:10] Aoi**
No, but...
**[20:12] Aoi**
I'm just really frustrated!
**[20:13] Aoi**
That was the first time
I'd ever lost in a competition!
**[20:17] Ayaka**
Well, I'm frustrated, too.
**[20:20] Waka**
It goes without saying that I am, too.
**[20:22] Yuuki**
We all are.
**[20:24] Akane**
Yeah... Frustrated.
**[20:30] Tomoe**
I regret that I committed an error.
**[20:33] Waka**
I think we all did that.
**[20:35] Ayaka**
Definitely.
**[20:41] Tomoe**
And you, Tsubasa?
**[20:43] Tsubasa**
I...
**[20:49] Tsubasa**
I'm sorry!
**[20:53] Tsubasa**
I thought none of you were
going to show up today!
**[20:57] Waka**
Why?
**[20:58] Tsubasa**
Well...
**[21:00] Yuuki**
Because we lost so badly?
**[21:05] Tsubasa**
I got you guys all hyped up
without thinking it through...
**[21:10] Yuuki**
We all said we wanted
to play a game, too.
**[21:14] Yoshimi**
Tsubasa, you put too much
on your own shoulders!
**[21:20] Yoshimi**
Have more faith in your teammates!
**[21:26] Aoi**
Uh-huh!
**[21:36] Tsubasa**
Okay!
**[21:37] Waka**
That was all rather embarrassing...
**[21:41] Yuuki**
Yeah, I guess it was.
**[21:43] Aoi**
We might as well form a huddle or something!
**[21:45] Ayaka**
That'd be super embarrassing...
**[21:48] Waka**
We have to do that?
**[21:49] Ryou**
No way.
**[21:50] Tomoe**
What do you think?
**[21:51] Tsubasa**
I want to do it!
**[21:53] Yuuki**
Well, shall we, then?
**[21:55] Ryou**
You must be kidding!
**[21:56] Ayaka**
What do we do now?
**[21:58] Ryou**
A cheer... I guess?
**[22:00] Tsubasa**
Okay, then!
**[22:01] Aoi**
Satogahama!
**[22:03] Waka**
You're leading the cheer, Senpai?
**[22:04] Yoshimi**
Don't worry about it.
**[22:06] Aoi**
Fight!
**[22:07] All**
Yeah!
**[22:09] All**
It's still *so* frustrating, though!

This part is wrong.

Huh?
**[00:14] Tsubasa**
What am I gonna do?
I don't get it at all, Tomocchi.
**[00:18] Tomoe**
Just follow the same pattern as before.
**[00:21] Tomoe**
Hang in there, Tsubasa!
**[00:27] Tomoe**
Let's study hard, pass the entrance exam,

Ah!
**[00:56] Yoshimi**
What are you doing?
**[00:58] Tsubasa**
Exam prep!
**[01:01] Tomoe**
We don't want Tsubasa to fail her
exams and have to miss practice.
**[01:07] Yoshimi**
E-Exams?! Is it that time of year already?!
**[01:10] Waka**
You actually forgot?
**[01:12] Yuuki**
Kawakita-san certainly is
a good helper, though.
**[01:17] Yuuki**
She always checks her homework for her, too.
**[01:20] Ryou**
Don't you think you're spoiling her?
**[01:23] Tsubasa**
It's fine!
**[01:25] Tsubasa**
'Cause we're...

best friends! Right?

Yeah, yeah.

Then, let's get started right away.

Yeah!
**[03:19] Ryou**
Here we go!
**[03:21] Ryou**
One out, runner on first!
**[03:27] Ryou**
You're next!
**[03:28] Tomoe**
Right!
**[03:37] Ryou**
Stay alert, second!
**[03:39] Tomoe**
Right! Sorry, Tsubasa!
**[03:41] Tsubasa**
Don't worry about it!
**[03:43] Ryou**
Next, right field!
**[04:06] Akane**
I caught it!
**[04:08] Tsubasa**
Nice catch, Akane-chan!
**[04:11] Ryou**
Keep it up!
**[04:13] Akane**
Okay!
**[04:14] Ryou**
Here's one more!
**[04:15] Akane**
Okay!
**[04:21] Tsubasa**
Nice catch!
**[04:23] Tsubasa**
Yeah! Looking good!
**[04:31] Yoshimi**
We put in a lot of work today!
**[04:33] Aoi**
See you all tomorrow!
**[04:34] Tsubasa**
Good work, girls!
**[04:36] Ayaka**
Today really wore me out.
**[04:39] Yuuki**
Our practices are really
starting to come together now.
**[04:43] Tsubasa**
Think we're moving too fast?
**[04:45] Ryou**
No, we're not doing nearly enough.
**[04:49] Ryou**
If we want to win, we need
to practice even harder.
**[04:53] Ryou**
I'm sure Seijo's practices
look nothing like ours.
**[04:58] Akane**
Then...
**[04:59] Akane**
We'll work hard!
**[05:01] Yuuki**
Indeed.
**[05:02] Waka**
Yeah, we want to win next time.
**[05:04] Ayaka**
Let's work our tails off again tomorrow!
**[05:07] Three**
Work our tails off!
**[05:17] Tsubasa**
Was today's practice hard on you?
**[05:20] Tomoe**
Huh? Maybe a little...
**[05:23] Tomoe**
But everyone's really pumped,
so I have to do my part, too.
**[05:27] Tsubasa**
Let me know if I can help out, okay?
**[05:32] Tsubasa**
I still need you to help me
study for the exams, too!
**[05:38] Tomoe**
Yeah, I suppose...
**[05:40] Tsubasa**
Seriously! I really need your help!
**[05:43] Tomoe**
I know, I know.
***SIGN*** Reward for a high grade:

Huh?
**[06:06] ?**
One, two, three, four, five...
**[06:13] Tsubasa**
Oh, Tomocchi!
**[06:15] Tomoe**
It's not time for practice yet.
What are you all doing here?
**[06:18] Tsubasa**
I thought I'd start a little early today,
**[06:21] Tsubasa**
and I guess everyone else had the same idea.
**[06:26] Tsubasa**
Tomocchi, let's do our stretches.
**[06:28] Tomoe**
S-Sure.
**[06:31] Yuuki**
I guess the next practice
will be after our exams, huh?
**[06:34] Akane**
So no practice for a whole week...
**[06:36] Yoshimi**
All right! Let's go get something
to eat on the way home!
**[06:41] Ayaka**
Yeah, I'm in!
**[06:43] Yoshimi**
Let's go!
**[06:45] Tsubasa**
Oh, okay. We'll catch up to you.
**[06:48] Yoshimi**
Okay!
**[06:49] ?**
We'll see you there!
**[06:51] Tsubasa**
Is that a practice regimen?
**[06:53] Tomoe**
I thought I'd practice on
my own between exams.
**[06:58] Tomoe**
I came up with a pretty tough regimen...
**[07:01] Tomoe**
What do you think?
**[07:02] Tsubasa**
Tomocchi...
**[07:04] Tsubasa**
You don't need to be in such a rush.
**[07:08] Tsubasa**
Everyone improves at their own pace.
**[07:11] Tomoe**
But...
**[07:13] Tsubasa**
Once the exams are over,
I'll stay late to practice with you!
**[07:19] Tsubasa**
Come on, let's join the others.
**[07:29] Tsubasa**
Tomocchi!
**[07:30] Tsubasa**
Er... Huh?
**[07:32] Akane**
Kawakita-san went home already.
**[07:34] Tsubasa**
What?
**[07:55] Tomoe**
*After we lost that game...*
**[07:58] Tomoe**
*Did I feel as frustrated as everyone else?*
**[08:05] Kids**
Bye!
**[08:06] Kids**
See ya!
**[08:23] Tomoe**
I didn't even know this was here.
**[08:37] Sayaka**
Aren't you...
**[08:44] Tomoe**
You're Seijo's...
**[08:49] Tomoe**
Jinguji-san?
**[08:52] Tomoe**
Um... Do you practice here often?
**[08:57] Sayaka**
Yes. I always come here after team practice.
**[09:00] Sayaka**
The head priest here likes baseball,
**[09:03] Sayaka**
so he said I could toss a ball around
on this bit of the temple grounds.
**[09:07] Tomoe**
Wow...
**[09:08] Sayaka**
I'll be practicing over here.
**[09:10] Sayaka**
Don't mind me. Carry on
with what you were doing.
**[09:12] Tomoe**
Ah... um... I mean...
**[09:20] Sayaka**
I shouldn't butt in...
**[09:24] Sayaka**
But the way you held your glove out earlier...
**[09:26] Sayaka**
You won't get away with that in a game.
**[09:29] Sayaka**
Before practicing on your own,
**[09:31] Sayaka**
I recommend seeking guidance from
someone who's qualified to coach you.
**[09:35] Sayaka**
Well, anyway...
**[09:36] Tomoe**
What am I doing wrong?
**[09:38] Tomoe**
Please, don't hold back! Be strict with me!
**[09:42] Sayaka**
You should ask your teammates, not me—
**[09:45] Tomoe**
Tsubasa can't help me!
**[09:47] Sayaka**
Tsubasa?
**[09:48] Tomoe**
Please!
**[09:52] Sayaka**
All right, fine, but...
**[09:54] Sayaka**
Give me some space.
**[09:56] Tomoe**
Oh... S-Sorry.
**[10:00] Waka**
Kawakita-san's acting strange?
**[10:02] Tsubasa**
Yeah... She promised to study with me,
**[10:06] Tsubasa**
but it feels like she's avoiding me.
**[10:10] Waka**
You had an argument?
**[10:10] Tsubasa**
Of course not!
**[10:12] Yuuki**
Have you heard from her at all?
**[10:14] Tsubasa**
Yeah, she told me on NINE
that she had stuff to do.
**[10:17] Waka**
That's probably why, then.
**[10:19] Tsubasa**
Yeah, but...
**[10:20] Tsubasa**
She's never done anything like this before.
**[10:25] Yoshimi**
Arise, arrange, associate...
**[10:28] Aoi**
Oh?
**[10:29] Yoshimi**
"Oh"? "Oh" what?
**[10:32] Aoi**
Look there!
**[10:34] Yoshimi**
Tomoe?
**[10:35] Aoi**
Is she going to pray for exam success?
**[10:37] Yoshimi**
From the temple?
**[10:41] Sayaka**
Move toward it.
**[10:43] Sayaka**
Catch it as it bounces, as if
you're scooping it off the ground.
**[10:46] Tomoe**
Okay!
**[10:48] Sayaka**
Don't bend down too far. Try it again.
**[10:51] Tomoe**
Okay!
**[10:52] Aoi**
Doesn't look like she's here to pray.
**[10:54] Yoshimi**
What's going on?

**[11:07] Tsubasa**
Huh?!
**[11:09] Sayaka**
Good work.
**[11:10] Tomoe**
Oh, thank you.
**[11:13] Tomoe**
Is this how tough Seijo's
practices usually are?
**[11:16] Sayaka**
Tough?
**[11:18] Sayaka**
Well... yes, I guess so.
**[11:20] Tomoe**
That's amazing. No wonder
your team is so good.
**[11:25] Sayaka**
Not good enough.
**[11:27] Sayaka**
There are better teams than us at nationals.
**[11:33] Sayaka**
Besides, until recently, our team
was in danger of getting axed for good.
**[11:37] Tomoe**
What? Why?
**[11:40] Sayaka**
Our coach was caught up
in a scandal last year.
**[11:43] Sayaka**
We only got the team back together in April.
**[11:46] Sayaka**
So the difference in skill between the
first-years and the third-years is huge.
**[11:51] Sayaka**
We still have a lot of work to do.
**[11:54] Tomoe**
I see...
**[12:00] Tsubasa**
Senpai!
**[12:02] Aoi**
Tsubasa.
**[12:11] Tsubasa**
She's with Jinguji-san? Why?
**[12:15] Aoi**
No, wait!
**[12:16] Tsubasa**
Tomocchi!
**[12:18] Tomoe**
Tsubasa?
**[12:20] Sayaka**
You're... Arihara-san, wasn't it?
**[12:23] Tsubasa**
What are you doing?
**[12:26] Tomoe**
She's here to help me practice.
**[12:29] Tomoe**
I asked her to...
**[12:30] Tsubasa**
I told you I'd practice with you
after the exams were over!
**[12:40] Tomoe**
And I told you I wanted to practice *now*!
**[12:42] Tsubasa**
Well, you could've run it by me first!
**[12:44] Tomoe**
Would you have been fine with it if I had?!
**[12:46] Tsubasa**
You know I wouldn't!
**[12:48] Tomoe**
So what would be the point of telling you?
**[12:53] Tsubasa**
Why Jinguji-san, anyway?!
**[12:58] Tomoe**
Because you can't be strict with me!
**[13:03] Tsubasa**
Th-That's because... I worry about you...
**[13:07] Tomoe**
Don't baby me!
**[13:09] Tomoe**
Don't baby me.
**[13:14] Tomoe**
Is it because we're best friends?
**[13:19] Tomoe**
If that's your reason,
**[13:23] Tomoe**
then I'm done being your best friend.
**[13:30] Yoshimi**
Tomoe!
**[13:57] Akane**
Oh, you're here early.
**[14:01] Tomoe**
Morning.
**[14:04] Tsubasa**
Tomocchi!
**[14:08] Tsubasa**
Um... H-Hey, listen...
**[14:10] Tomoe**
I'm in a hurry.
**[14:34] Yuuki**
Um... Is everything all right?
**[14:39] Waka**
If this hadn't happened during exams,
**[14:42] Waka**
you probably could have
talked it out at practice.
**[14:45] Yuuki**
But... why practice with Jinguji-san?
**[14:48] Ryou**
I don't see a problem with it.
**[14:52] Ryou**
She has the makings of a good coach,
**[14:55] Ryou**
and if she shows Tomoe
some of Seijo's drills,
**[14:58] Ryou**
our team could benefit from it.
**[15:02] Yuuki**
Still...
**(Flashback) [15:23] Tomoe**
I'm done being your best friend.
**[15:42] Tsubasa**
Jinguji-san...
**[15:50] Tsubasa**
I'm sorry you had to witness me
behaving like that the other day.
**[15:55] Sayaka**
Apology accepted.
**[15:59] Tsubasa**
Um, is Tomocchi...
**[16:02] Sayaka**
Do you mean Kawakita-san?
**[16:05] Sayaka**
She was here doing solo practice
until just a little while ago.
**[16:08] Sayaka**
She seems to be studying
hard for her exams as well.
**[16:12] Tsubasa**
Sh-She is, huh?
**[16:14] Sayaka**
She said you two hadn't spoken since.
**[16:19] Sayaka**
You two have been friends since
you were very young, haven't you?
**[16:23] Tsubasa**
Yeah... We live close to each other,
**[16:26] Tsubasa**
so we're... best friends.
**[16:30] Sayaka**
I don't see best friends as
something desirable for baseball.
**[16:34] Tsubasa**
Huh?
**[16:36] Sayaka**
If the relationship is personal,
you tend to be too soft on each other, right?
**[16:40] Tsubasa**
Too soft...
**[16:42] Sayaka**
Don't you think that might be why
she didn't want you coaching her?
**[16:48] Sayaka**
In baseball, you need comrades
you can strive for victory with.
**[16:53] Tsubasa**
Comrades?
**[16:56] Sayaka**
I don't expect you to understand.
**[16:59] Sayaka**
I could tell from our practice game
that I don't think the same way
**[17:03] Sayaka**
as the students from Sato High do.
**[17:05] Sayaka**
I stand to gain nothing from
butting into your affairs, anyway.
**[17:13] Sayaka**
If you'll excuse me.
**[17:17] Yuuki**
How's Kawakita-san doing?
**[17:19] Akane**
Fine. Or at least, she pretends she is.
**[17:23] Akane**
What about Arihara-san?
**[17:24] Yuuki**
She's getting weaker by the day.
**[17:26] Ayaka**
She's gonna fail her exams for sure.
**[17:30] Waka**
We can't even focus on our
own studies like this.
**[17:34] Yuuki**
We have to do something.
**[17:36] Ryou**
But is there anything we can do?
**[17:37] Yoshimi**
Sure there is.
**[17:39] Yuuki**
There is?
**[17:40] Aoi**
What is it?
**[17:41] Yoshimi**
What you need at a time
like this... is your fists!
**[17:51] Tsubasa**
"Let's settle this."
**[17:54] Tomoe**
"I'll be waiting at the field after school."
**[17:57] Tomoe**
Tsubasa...
**[17:58] Tsubasa**
Tomocchi...
**[18:07] Waka**
I can't believe that worked.
**[18:10] Yoshimi**
I'm the reason they started fighting.
**[18:13] Yoshimi**
It's the least I can do to atone.
**[18:15] Yoshimi**
They should let their fists do
the talking until they fix this.
**[18:18] Ryou**
As if they'd start hitting each other...
**[18:28] Tsubasa**
How's your solo practice going?
**[18:30] Tomoe**
Huh?
**[18:31] Tomoe**
Pretty good... I think.
**[18:36] Tsubasa**
I see.
**[18:40] Tomoe**
I'm sorry for what I said.
**[18:43] Tomoe**
I went too far.
**[18:46] Tsubasa**
That's not...
**[18:48] Tomoe**
But... I wanted you to
understand how I felt.
**[18:54] Tsubasa**
I do want to know how you feel.
**[19:00] Tsubasa**
I think it started when we
formed the association...
**[19:03] Tomoe**
No.
**[19:04] Tomoe**
It was when I said I wanted
to play baseball with you.
**[19:09] Tomoe**
The moment we both started sharing a goal,
**[19:11] Tomoe**
I think our friendship changed.
**[19:16] Tomoe**
I didn't even realize that
I was diving into your world.
**[19:21] Tomoe**
When everyone else on
the team overtook me,
**[19:25] Tomoe**
I finally realized I hadn't
taken on the full weight of that.
**[19:33] Tsubasa**
I'm sorry. I didn't notice, either.
**[19:38] Tomoe**
We both got a little spoiled, huh?
**[19:42] Tsubasa**
That's why you went to Jinguji-san?
**[19:45] Tomoe**
Maybe...
**[19:49] Tomoe**
I want to get better at baseball.
**[19:53] Tomoe**
I don't want to hold you and the team back.
**[19:56] Tomoe**
So...
**[19:58] Tomoe**
I can't be your best friend.
**[20:03] Tomoe**
Treat me as just another
teammate from now on, okay?
**[20:11] Tomoe**
Also...

**[20:15] Tomoe**
I made this a while back.

I don't want that...
**[20:42] Tsubasa**
We're not best friends after today?
**[20:44] Tsubasa**
Does that mean... you don't like me anymore?
**[20:49] Tsubasa**
So if something fun happens,
you won't want to tell me about it?
**[20:55] Tsubasa**
You won't worry when I look sad,
**[20:59] Tsubasa**
or want to help me when
I'm having a hard time?
**[21:05] Tsubasa**
I can't handle that!
**[21:10] Tomoe**
Tsubasa...
**[21:12] Tsubasa**
If that makes me spoiled,
then I'm fine with being spoiled!
**[21:15] Tsubasa**
I still... I still want you to...

Tsubasa!
**[21:23] Tomoe**

**[00:10] Waka**
What happened to that?
**[00:13] Yoshimi**
I, um... hit the Earth for a home run.
**[00:15] Yoshimi**
Sorry!
**[00:16] Aoi**
Just how strong *are* you?
**[00:20] Ayaka**
The rake also broke...
**[00:23] Yuuki**
There's a hole in the net.
**[00:25] Tsubasa**
You're kidding!
**[00:27] Waka**
Everything about this place is run-down.
**[00:29] Tomoe**
Well, it is all old.
**[00:32] Yuuki**
What should we do?
**[00:34] Tomoe**
Well, we've used up our funds...
**[00:36] Yoshimi**
I'll get a part-time job
to make up for it!
**[00:39] Yuuki**
If that's the plan,
why don't we all get jobs?
**[00:41] Yoshimi**
All of us?
**[00:44] Waka**
Good idea.
**[00:45] Waka**
If it's only weekend casual work,
the school should allow it.
**[00:49] Tsubasa**
All right! Let's do it!
**[00:50] Ryou**
That may work in the short term,
**[00:52] Ryou**
but do you expect us to work
every time we need money?
**[00:58] Tsubasa**
W-Well...
**[01:00] Ayaka**
You need a lot of kit for baseball.
We'd be chasing our tails forever.
**[01:07] Waka**
We should get club status.
**[01:11] Waka**
We'd receive more funding if we did that.
**[01:15] Waka**
It's only been three months
since we started the association,
**[01:18] Waka**
but we've already come
a long way in such a short time.
**[01:22] Waka**
I think we should be able to apply for it now.
**[01:26] Tsubasa**
A baseball club...
**[01:27] Tsubasa**
Yeah, let's apply!
**[01:29] Tsubasa**
Who should we see about applying?
**[01:32] Waka**
W-We should probably start with...
**[01:35] Shiho**
And your advisor has
given their permission?
**[01:38] Tsubasa**
Yes!
**[01:39] Shiho**
Before you can be given club status,
***SIGN*** Student Council Room
**[01:41] Shiho**
the student council must
evaluate your association
**[01:44] Shiho**
and determine whether or not
its activities meet a certain standard.
**[01:47] Waka**
That's part of the process?
**[01:49] Shiho**
It's the school's rule.
**[01:51] Waka**
I... I see.
**[01:55] Shiho**
What's your decision?
**[01:56] Tsubasa**
Bring it on!
**[01:59] Shiho**
Very well.
**[02:01] Shiho**
Tsukumo-san, if you would.
**[02:05] Kana**
I'm Tsukumo Kana.
I'm in charge of the athletic clubs.
**[02:09] Kana**
Nice to meet you.
**[02:10] Both**
N-Nice to meet you, too...
**[02:13] Yuuki**
Here you go.
**[02:18] Boy**
Hero Tiger Chop!
**[02:20] Yuuki**
What?
**[02:21] Boy**
I'm Hero Tiger!
**[02:22] Boy**
Prepare to die, Baron Bunny!
**[02:25] Yuuki**
Um, I'm not a villain...
**[02:27] Boy**
Fortune-Favors-the-Hero Zoom Beam!
**[02:32] Yuuki**
What do I do?
**[02:33] Maiko**
Hero Tiger, the captain wants to see you.
**[02:36] Maiko**
What? Oh, okay!
**[02:38] Yuuki**
Huh?
**[02:41] Yuuki**
Th-Thanks for your help.
**[02:45] Yuuki**
Hey...
**[02:47] Yuuki**
Aren't you...
**[02:48] Maiko**
What?
**[02:49] Yuuki**
Kurashiki-senpai?
**[02:51] Maiko**
How do you know my name?
**[02:52] Yuuki**
Oh, I guess you don't
recognize me in this getup.
**[02:55] Maiko**
Who are you?
**[02:56] Maiko**
Hey! What—
**[02:56] Yoshimi**
Have a balloon!
**[02:58] Kid**
Mama!
**[03:02] Yuuki**
It's me, Nozaki Yuuki. We went
to the same elementary school.
**[03:06] Maiko**
Nozaki?
**[03:09] Yuuki**
I had no idea that you also go to Sato High.
**[03:12] Yuuki**
I guess being in different years
will do that, huh?
**[03:15] Maiko**
I guess so.
**[03:16] Yuuki**
But I'm glad I got to see you again.
**[03:18] Yuuki**
Remember how, whenever anyone was crying
or in trouble, you'd rush to their aid?
**[03:23] Yuuki**
Like you did just now.
**[03:25] Maiko**
That was when we were kids.
**[03:29] Yuuki**
Oh, right! Are you in any clubs at the moment?
**[03:35] Maiko**
No, I'm not... Why?
**[03:38] Yuuki**
In that case, do you have
any interest in baseball?
**[03:41] Maiko**
Huh?
***SIGN*** The Smiling Lost Child
**[05:19] Tsubasa**
An evaluation, huh? I'm so nervous...
**[05:22] Waka**
You're the one who said "bring it on."
**[05:25] Ayaka**
Well, I don't think she'll be too strict.
**[05:28] Akane**
Come to think of it, Nozaki-san's late...
**[05:31] Waka**
She said she was running behind.
**[05:32] Aoi**
Hey! I brought us a new member!
**[05:36] Kana**
I'm only here to observe, Aoi.
**[05:41] Tomoe**
Asada-senpai, are you and
Tsukumo-senpai good friends?
**[05:45] Aoi**
We're in the same class.
**[05:46] Aoi**
We're especially inseparable at exam time!
**[05:50] Yoshimi**
Tsukumo has the highest grades in our year,
**[05:52] Yoshimi**
and she's been in the student council
since her first year!
**[05:56] Yoshimi**
What's more...
**[06:00] Ayaka**
Picture purrfect.
**[06:02] Yoshimi**
She's super athletic, too!
**[06:04] Yoshimi**
She doesn't even need my encouragement!
**[06:06] Ryou**
So she's an all-rounder.
**[06:08] Waka**
If she joined our team,
she'd be a real asset.
**[06:11] Kana**
That's not possible.
**[06:13] Ayaka**
Wh-What?
**[06:14] Kana**
I'm only here to evaluate you. Nothing more.
**[06:17] Waka**
Oh... Sorry.
**[06:21] Yoshimi**
See? You did it again.
**[06:23] Kana**
I'm sorry. I don't mean to sound hostile.
**[06:26] Aoi**
Tsukumo's a pretty awkward girl.
**[06:29] Akane**
Awkward?
**[06:30] Yuuki**
Sorry I'm late!
**[06:35] Maiko**
Why is a student council member here?
**[06:38] Yuuki**
She's evaluating us
because we want club status.
**[06:43] Yuuki**
This is Kurashiki Maiko-senpai, a second-year.
**[06:45] Aoi**
Oh, yeah! You're in the class
next-door to mine!
**[06:48] Yuuki**
She's very athletic. She was
one of the best at dodgeball.
**[06:53] Waka**
Really? In that case,
you might make a good pitcher.
**[06:57] Maiko**
I really don't care about any of that.
**[06:59] Maiko**
I'm only here because I was bored.
**[07:01] Yoshimi**
Oh, come on! You came
because you were interested!
**[07:08] Tsubasa**
Okay, we'll say you're a trial member for now.
**[07:21] Ryou**
One more, please!
**[07:24] Ryou**
She actually hit the
strike zone on her first try.
**[07:27] Waka**
Most first-timers don't get anywhere close.
**[07:30] Tsubasa**
She's a really promising rookie!
**[07:39] Maiko**
I've changed my mind. Count me out.
**[07:42] Yuuki**
Why?
**[07:43] Maiko**
You're still being evaluated to get
official club status, aren't you?
**[07:47] Maiko**
I don't want to deal
with that kind of hassle.
**[07:49] Yuuki**
Please don't leave.
**[07:50] Yuuki**
We all want to get better.
**[07:53] Yuuki**
If you stay with us,
I think we'll be able to.
**[07:56] Tsubasa**
Won't you give it just a little bit longer?
**[07:59] Yoshimi**
If you insist on leaving,
it'll be over my dead body!
**[08:03] Yoshimi**
Come on, then! Leave, if you dare!
**[08:06] ---**
Bring it!
**[08:07] Maiko**
It's not like I have anything
else to do after school.
**[08:11] Maiko**
If I can stay on as a trial member...
**[08:13] Yuuki**
Senpai!
**[08:14] All**
All right!
**[08:15] All**
Great!
**[08:19] Kana**
Kurashiki-san, the second-year...
**[08:21] Kana**
Seems she's had several
run-ins with the police.
**[08:23] Shiho**
Yes. All of them were over the last year.
**[08:25] Shiho**
Each time, she was out
walking late at night,
**[08:28] Shiho**
but when asked why she was out there,
she never gave an answer.
**[08:31] Kana**
That is certainly cause for concern,
**[08:34] Kana**
but what's your opinion
after meeting her yourself?
**[08:38] Shiho**
At present, I'm unable
to make any judgments.
**[08:41] Shiho**
But...
**[08:43] Shiho**
She is rather antisocial,
**[08:45] Shiho**
so communicating with her teammates
may be a struggle.
**[08:54] Kana**
Are you really in a position to say that?
**[09:03] Ryou**
Try holding it like this when you throw.
**[09:31] Yoshimi**
You should practice with this!
**[09:33] Maiko**
What... is that?
**[09:35] Yoshimi**
A ball, of course!
**[10:01] Maiko**
Be careful.
**[10:03] Akane**
Thanks...
**[10:08] Tsubasa**
Kurashiki-senpai!
**[10:11] Tsubasa**
It looks like you're settling in just fine.
**[10:14] Ryou**
You've improved much faster than I expected.
**[10:16] Ryou**
You have superior physical strength,
and natural talent, too.
**[10:19] Yuuki**
That's right! She's amazing!
**[10:22] Maiko**
Come on, cut it out.
**[10:24] Yuuki**
In elementary school, she was just...
**[10:26] Maiko**
Stop.
**[10:27] Yuuki**
Aw, am I embarrassing you, Senpai?
**[10:31] Yoshimi**
Don't try and hide it!
**[10:37] Maiko**
What?
**[10:39] Shiho**
You look like you're having fun.
**[10:41] Maiko**
Huh?
**[10:42] Maiko**
If you've got something to say, spit it out!
**[10:45] Shiho**
I just did.
**[10:47] Maiko**
You saying you don't like me?
**[10:48] Yuuki**
Wait, Senpai!
**[10:50] Aoi**
Her facial muscles are
in dire need of a workout.
**[10:53] Maiko**
What did you mean by that?
**[10:55] Shiho**
I apologize if what I said offended you.
**[10:59] Yuuki**
Senpai!
**[11:05] Yoshimi**
Okay, bring it!
**[11:12] Tomoe**
Nice pitch!
**[11:16] Yoshimi**
That was a great pitch, Maiko!

What did you think of
the baseball association?
**[11:42] Shiho**
I think they are taking it very seriously.
**[11:45] Kake**
Really? I hope you have fun playing, too.
**[11:52] Yuuki**
You still amaze me, Senpai.
**[11:53] Yuuki**
It's only been a week, and even
Waka-san has showered you with praise!
**[11:57] Maiko**
Yeah, yeah.
**[12:02] Maiko**
What?
**[12:03] Yuuki**
I'm just happy to see you having fun.
**[12:06] Yuuki**
When I first ran into you, you seemed
different from when we were little.
**[12:10] Maiko**
Did I?
**[12:13] Yuuki**
Well, see you tomorrow.
**[12:14] Yuuki**
Goodbye.
**[12:20] Yuuki**
Senpai!
**[12:24] Yuuki**
See you tomorrow!

Your father said he won't

**[13:06] Mom**
And after I made dinner for all of us...
**[13:09] Mom**
When did it all fall apart?
**[13:13] Mom**
He never used to be like this...
**[13:16] Mom**
Maiko... I'm so tired of it.
**[13:21] Mom**
You hate having a father

It's Kurashiki-paisen!
**[14:05] Yuuki**
Senpai? What happened to her?
**[14:08] Ayaka**
I happened to overhear

**[14:11] Ayaka**
They said the police
picked her up last night!
**[14:14] All**
What?
**[14:16] Yuuki**
It has to be some kind of mistake!
**[14:18] Ayaka**

Tsukumo, have you heard anything?
**[14:35] Shiho**
No, nothing.

Where is Senpai?
**[14:51] Tomoe**
Kakehashi-sensei might know something.

I'll go to the staff office.

If this keeps happening, the school

I'm so sorry!

It's my fault she's turned out like this.
**[15:52] Mom**
You see... things haven't been

**[15:58] Mom**
I've been thinking about moving us

**[16:02] Kake**
M-Ma'am, that's...
**[16:05] Mom**

**[16:25] Kake**
Well, that's, um...
**[16:29] Kake**
We should hear Maiko-san's side first.
**[16:34] Maiko**
Don't speak for me.

Maiko!
**[16:37] Maiko**
You dare talk about what's best for me?

This is all just to suit the two of you...

To suit you and Dad...

Huh?
**[17:17] Kake**
She's very good at looking out for others.

The first-years all look up to her.

enjoy playing baseball with the other girls.

No.

I'm not lying.

You don't want to set

**[18:44] Shiho**
I do know. I've been watching you.
**[18:50] Shiho**
You should stay in the association.
**[18:54] Maiko**
Why... would you say that?!
**[18:59] Shiho**
I'm not good at expressing my feelings.
**[19:03] Shiho**
I never have been.
**[19:06] Shiho**
At first, I thought you were the same,

When you're with the other girls,

**[20:00] Maiko**
All right. You want me to talk to them?
***SIGN*** Student Council Room
**[20:17] Kana**
Kurashiki-san only had to
submit a written apology.
**[20:21] Kana**
That's not surprising.
**[20:22] Kana**
She only got caught up
in a fight between some drunkards.
**[20:26] Shiho**
Yes.
**[20:28] Kana**
It seems her parents are going
to talk things over, too.
**[20:32] Kana**
It's a complicated matter,
but she'll be able to stay at this school.
**[20:37] Shiho**
I see.
**[20:41] Kana**
Anyway... I never imagined
you'd give a speech like that.
**(Flashback) [20:47] Shiho**
What Kurashiki-san needs right now
is a place where she can be herself.

I believe the girls' baseball
association can be that place.

Please consider it.
**[21:03] Shiho**
I was just doing my duty as
a member of the student council.

**[03:19] Ryou**
Yeah. It's summer already.
**[03:23] Tsubasa**
Everyone!
**[03:26] Tomoe**
Sorry to spring this on you,
but there's something we'd like to discuss.
**[03:31] Tsubasa**
So... how about we play in a tournament?
**[03:38] Akane**
A t-tournament?
**[03:40] Yuuki**
A girls' baseball tournament?
**[03:42] Tsubasa**
Yeah! Tomocchi brought it up yesterday.
**[04:01] Sayaka**
Well, I'll be going now.
**[04:03] Tomoe**
Okay. Thanks for your help.
**[04:05] Sayaka**
You're not leaving yet?
**[04:08] Tomoe**
I want to practice a bit more.
**[04:11] Sayaka**
You've improved quite a bit
from when we started.
**[04:15] Tomoe**
Ah, thank you for saying so.
**[04:17] Sayaka**
Now you just have to do it for real.
**[04:19] Sayaka**
Entering the summer tournament
would give you valuable experience.
**[04:22] Tomoe**
A tournament?
**[04:25] Sayaka**
Yes.
**[04:26] Sayaka**
Of course, you can't go into it
thinking it's just a learning experience.
**[04:31] Sayaka**
But I hope we face each other again.
**[04:33] Sayaka**
In an official game this time.
**[04:41] Tomoe**
I vaguely remembered that there
was a tournament in the summer,
**[04:45] Tomoe**
so I immediately asked
Tsubasa what she thought.
**[04:48] Tsubasa**
I want us to decide as a team whether
we're gonna play in the tournament or not.

**[05:34] Akane**
You mean...
**[05:35] Yoshimi**
We'd go straight to nationals
without needing to play preliminaries?!
**[05:39] Yuuki**
I'd envisioned a high school baseball
tournament being somewhat bigger.
**[05:44] Tsubasa**
There are far fewer high schools with
girls' baseball teams than with boys' teams.
**[05:50] Ryou**
For a long time, there wasn't
even a girls' tournament.
**[05:53] Akane**
Really?
**[05:54] Kana**
Why wasn't there?
**[05:58] Ayaka**
I can answer that one!
**[06:01] Ayaka**
Way back in the Taisho era,
**[06:03] Ayaka**
girls' baseball was played for the first time.
**[06:07] Ayaka**
Playing baseball with a rubber ball
became a trend among girls,
***SIGN*** Girls' Baseball Tournament
**[06:11] Ayaka**
and the first girls' baseball
tournament in Japan was held.
**[06:15] Tsubasa**
In the Taisho era?
**[06:17] Yoshimi**
That's around 300 years ago!
**[06:19] Waka**
Wrong.
**[06:21] Ayaka**
But at the time,
they got a lot of criticism for it,
**[06:24] Ayaka**
and baseball was removed
from the curriculum
**[06:27] Ayaka**
because it was considered
too extreme for girls.
**[06:29] Ayaka**
That's just how things were back then.
**[06:32] Ayaka**
The sport faced a lot
of challenges after that.

A women's pro baseball league
was set up after World War II,
**[06:38] Ayaka**
but that didn't last very long, either.
**[06:40] Ayaka**
It folded a little over 20 years later.
**[06:43] Aoi**
But why?
**[06:45] Ryou**
Women's baseball in itself had
too many obstacles to overcome.
**[06:50] Ryou**
Constant comparisons to the men's game,
**[06:51] Ryou**
inadequate player development
at the grassroots level...
**[06:53] Tomoe**
I guess those were hard times.
**[06:55] Ayaka**
After all that, girls' baseball disappeared
from the public eye for a while.
**[07:00] Ayaka**
But that desire to play
baseball never went away!
**[07:06] Ayaka**
Then, in 1995, their hopes
and dreams were realized at last.

**[07:11] Ayaka**
A high school girls' team had a friendly game
with a foreign team for the first time.
**[07:16] Ayaka**
And what's more, they played hardball!
**[07:18] Ayaka**
That led to the creation of girls'
hardball baseball teams all across Japan.
**[07:23] Ayaka**
They started holding tournaments,
and the pro league was revived.
**[07:26] Ayaka**
Time finally started
moving for the girls again!
**[07:30] Ayaka**
And that's the tale of the fierce battle
that led to girls playing hardball.
**[07:35] Yuuki**
It looks like this team started
out as a softball team.
**[07:39] Tsubasa**
There are a lot of schools like that.
**[07:42] Yuuki**
"Not many of us have
any baseball experience,
**[07:44] Yuuki**
but a number of us do have
experience in a variety of other sports."
**[07:47] Akane**
Sounds like us... maybe.
**[07:52] Kana**
"Persuaded the school..."
**[07:53] Yoshimi**
I guess every team's had it rough.
**[07:56] Ayaka**
It looks like lots of schools
still struggle to find members
**[08:00] Ayaka**
because their peers don't get it.
**[08:02] Aoi**
That's why there are so
few schools participating?
**[08:05] Tomoe**
But 30 years ago,
there were no school teams at all.
**[08:09] Yuuki**
A team like ours, going to nationals...
**[08:15] Ryou**
So, are we going to participate or not?
**[08:18] Ryou**
I believe that was the question.
**[08:22] Yuuki**
It's so exciting! I want to do it!
**[08:25] Akane**
M-Me, too!
**[08:27] Waka**
It could be a good thing.
**[08:28] Aoi**
I wanna give it a try!
**[08:30] Tsubasa**
Everyone...
**[08:31] Yuuki**
Let's give it our all!
**[08:33] Aoi**
I can't wait!
**[08:34] Yoshimi**
I was pumped up to do this from the start!
**[08:36] Akane**
A real game...
**[08:37] Ayaka**
We'll show 'em!
**[08:39] Waka**
Hold on a minute. Where are
we getting the money for this?
**[08:44] Tomoe**
Where's it being held again?
**[08:47] Ayaka**
It's in Hyogo.
**[08:48] Waka**
We'll need to pay for transportation,
**[08:50] Waka**
and if we win any games,
that'll mean hotel costs.
**[08:53] Tsubasa**
Yikes...
**[08:54] Akane**
What should we do?
**[08:55] Ryou**
The money situation trips us up again...
**[09:01] Kake**
Don't worry, girls!
**[09:03] Kake**
You won't have any issues with money.
**[09:05] Kake**
You passed the student council's evaluation!
**[09:09] Kake**
Right, Tsukumo-san?
**[09:10] Kana**
Right. Now all you need
is the school's approval.
**[09:14] Tsubasa**
Then, that means...
**[09:16] Kake**
If all goes well, it'll be rubber-stamped
at the next staff meeting.
**[09:19] Kake**
The girls' baseball club will
be officially established!
**[09:25] Kake**
So just leave the rest to me!
***SIGN*** The Following Week
**[09:30] Kake**
What?
**[09:33] Vice**
Like I said, we cannot grant
permission that easily.
**[09:37] Kake**
But they've met the requirements!
**[09:39] Vice**
Yes, they have.
**[09:41] Kake**
Well, then...
**[09:42] Vice**
It just isn't realistic.
***SIGN*** Baseball Club Trial Balance Sheet
**[09:45] Vice**
Baseball is a very expensive sport.
**[09:49] Vice**
Starting a club would require
a great deal of money.
**[09:53] Vice**
This application shows a lack of foresight.
**[09:56] Kake**
I'll redo it right away!
**[09:58] Vice**
There are other problems as well.
**[10:02] Vice**
Are you certain you're prepared
to lead a baseball club?
**[10:08] Kake**
I am!
**[10:09] Vice**
Then how do you intend to divide your
time between it and the kendo club?
**[10:16] Kake**
I won't neglect either one.
I'll give both my all!
**[10:20] Vice**
The school cannot, in good conscience,
approve such an unreasonable venture.
**[10:24] Vice**
It's the students who'll suffer
if you overstretch yourself.
**[10:26] Vice**
I'm telling you that it's unrealistic
for all of those reasons.
**[10:31] Kake**
But they're all such good students!
**[10:34] Kake**
I can't let their determination go to waste.
**[10:36] Vice**
Think about what it is that *you* ought to do.
**[10:41] Vice**
We'll put this matter on hold for now.
**[10:50] Aoi**
Tsukumo!
**[10:51] Aoi**
Do you know what Sato High has
to do in order to win at nationals?
**[10:56] Kana**
Practice... I guess?
**[10:59] Aoi**
What we need is...
**[11:00] Aoi**
...a miracle pitch!
**[11:02] Aoi**
I'll give 'em a taste of the all-conquering
miracle pitch I've just perfected!
**[11:05] Aoi**
Go, Kitty Ball!
**[11:14] Kana**
Get serious.
**[11:16] Aoi**
Whoops...
**[11:19] Waka**
Let's do more pitching practice
to prepare for the tournament.
**[11:23] Waka**
Your control will be our main weapon.
**[11:26] Maiko**
All right. If we're doing this,
I'll give it all I've got.
**[11:33] Akane**
What could these be?
**[11:48] Tsubasa**
Sensei!
**[11:50] Aoi**
How'd it go?
**[11:52] Ayaka**
Did we get official status?
**[11:54] Kake**
Everyone...
**[11:55] Kake**
I'm sorry! It looks like
we'll need a little more time!
**[11:59] Tomoe**
Oh... Really?
**[12:02] Waka**
Is there a problem?
**[12:03] Kake**
No, nothing at all!
**[12:06] Kake**
Don't worry! I'll make sure you're
all set in time for the tournament!
**[12:09] Yuuki**
Okay!
**[12:10] Tsubasa**
We really appreciate it!

The school's probably being cautious.
**[12:29] Ryou**
Sato High doesn't even have
a boys' baseball team, after all.
**[12:32] Yuuki**
That's true.
**[12:34] Akane**
But... does that mean we
can't play in the tournament?
**[12:38] Tsubasa**
Well, regardless, our only option is to
trust Sensei and do whatever we can do!
**[12:43] Akane**
What can we do?
***SIGN*** Strawberry Milk

Oh, um, ma'am?
**[13:55] Hinata**
Yes, dear?
**[13:57] Akane**
Well, there's something
I've been wondering...
***SIGN*** Momoko,
What are you up to?
***SIGN*** Momoko, is the teaching going well?
Why not come pay us a visit at home
every now and then?
**[14:14] Teacher**
It's taking a toll on you,
isn't it, Kakehashi-sensei?
**[14:18] Kake**
I'm sorry!
**[14:19] Teacher**
The vice principal really
didn't need to go that far.
**[14:22] Kake**
No, it's my own fault.
**[14:25] Kake**
I thought I was prepared for this, but...
**[14:30] Kake**
I guess it wasn't enough.
**[14:33] Teacher**
Well, I'm rooting for
the girls' baseball club.
**[14:37] Teacher**
There's that whole thing with Kurashiki, too.
**[14:40] Kake**
Thank you for that.
**[14:42] Teacher**
But if, realistically,
it's just too difficult,
**[14:45] Teacher**
there's no reason it has
to happen *this* year.
**[14:49] Teacher**
There's always next year.
**[14:50] Teacher**
I think part of being a teacher
is helping them understand that.
**[15:12] Kake**
A teacher, huh?
**[15:16] Yoshimi**
We gotta pull those weeds out, too!
**[15:24] Akane**
Oh, Sensei!
**[15:25] All**
Thanks for coming!
**[15:28] Kake**
What are you all doing? Are those...
**[15:31] Yuuki**
They're sunflowers.
**[15:32] Kake**
Sunflowers?
**[15:34] Tsubasa**
Apparently, this field used to be
next to a big sunflower patch.
**(Flashback) [15:40] Hinata**
Are they in your way?
**(Flashback) [15:41] Akane**
Oh, no! Not at all!
**[15:44] Tomoe**
Sunflowers always bloom facing the sun.
**[15:48] Ayaka**
We thought if we could help them grow,
something good might happen.
**[15:53] Waka**
It's a prayer of sorts.
**[15:56] Ayaka**
It's pretty hard work, though.
**[15:59] Yoshimi**
If we all pitch in,
it'll be done in a flash!
**[16:01] Aoi**
Hey!
**[16:04] Aoi**
We found the perfect thing!
**[16:08] Tsubasa**

**[16:32] Kake**
Now you've done it!
**[16:34] Kake**
Hold it right there!
**[16:36] Aoi**
I didn't mean to do that!

Hold it! Stay right there!

**[17:05] Kake**
But I'm over it! Now I've got myself

**[07:26] Yuuki**
Like... this?
**[07:30] Ryou**
With a bit of practice,
I think you could be a pitcher.
**[07:33] Yuuki**
Huh?
**[07:35] Tsubasa**
It would be great to have
a left-handed pitcher.
**[07:37] Yuuki**
Me? No, I couldn't...
**[07:41] Yuuki**
If I ended up hitting someone, I'd feel awful.
**[07:44] Ryou**
Oh...
**[07:45] Tsubasa**
That's a shame.
**[07:48] Yuuki**
I'm sorry.
**[07:50] Waka**
I can't seem to get the timing right at all.
**[07:53] Ayaka**
Yeah.
**[07:54] Priest**
Why don't you try striking this?
**[07:58] Ayaka**
The wooden block?
**[08:07] Ayaka**
Like this, you mean?
**[08:13] Yoshimi**
Yeah! That's the beat!
**[08:18] Akane**
That feels right... I think!
**[08:32] Ryou**
Nakano-san, what are you doing?
**[08:35] Ayaka**
Oh, this?
**[08:37] Ayaka**
Having a beat makes it easier to time a swing.
**[08:41] Ryou**
Using that?
**[08:49] Aoi**
A hot bath sure feels good.
**[08:52] Waka**
My whole body hurts, though.
**[08:54] Akane**
Mine, too. I can't raise my arms.
**[08:58] Ryou**
If that session was enough to make you sore,
**[09:01] Ryou**
we're in for a rough—
**[09:02] Aoi**
Wow! Would ya look at these guns?!
**[09:04] Ryou**
Wha—
**[09:04] Aoi**
I can tell you do a lot of training!
**[09:06] Ryou**
Hey!
**[09:07] Ryou**
S-Stop that!
**[09:09] Akane**
Six more days...
We'll have to work really hard...
**[09:14] Yoshimi**
All right! This will chase
away your exhaustion!
**[09:19] Yoshimi**
Hurrah! Hurrah! Sato High!
**[09:24] Yoshimi**
Hurrah! Hurrah! Sato High!
**[09:25] Aoi**
Stop it with the cheering!
**[09:27] Yoshimi**
Hurrah! Hurrah! Sato High!
**[09:29] Tsubasa**
Ta-da!
**[09:31] Tsubasa**
How about we all play this?
**[09:36] Tsubasa**
See? It's one of our goals
for this training camp!

**[09:46] Kana**
Let's play.
**[09:48] Aoi**
Kitty Ball!
**[09:50] Mai**
You're using too many
vanishing miracle pitches.
**[09:52] Kana**
We agreed on no more than
three pitches per innings.
**[09:54] Aoi**
Just one more! Kitty Ball!
**[09:57] Kana**
There.
**[10:00] Aoi**
One more time!
**[10:02] Kana**
You've won every game. Isn't that enough?
**[10:05] Ryou**
Would you girls please just go to sleep?
**[10:08] Aoi**
Just a little bit longer!
**[10:14] Aoi**
Eep!
**[10:16] Priest**
You'll find practice difficult tomorrow.
**[10:19] Kana**
See? We should go to sleep.
**[10:23] Mai**
I guess so.
**[10:37] Tsubasa**
Good morning!
**[10:39] Kake**
Watch out for traffic!
**[10:52] Aoi**
It's still dark...
**[11:25] Kake**
It almost looks like an ascetic ritual now.
**[11:42] Tomoe**
How many days has it been again?
**[11:45] Ayaka**
We have, uh... two days left!
**[11:48] Kana**
We're only here for morning
practice on the last day,
**[11:51] Kana**
so more specifically, we have
one day and twelve hours left.
**[11:54] Mai**
The ballpark figure was fine...
**[11:56] Tomoe**
I'd really like to get through our final
fielding practice with no misses.
**[12:01] Yuuki**
We can do that!
**[12:05] Yuuki**
Uh, I mean... I hope we can...
**[12:10] Mai**
I agree.
**[12:11] Kana**
Yeah.
**[12:13] Ayaka**
Well, we'll just have to
pounce on every single ball!
**[12:16] All**
Yeah!
**[12:21] Kake**
So... it begins again today, does it?
**[12:25] Ryou**
We're going to do it on the first try today.
**[12:27] All**
Yeah!
**[12:38] Ryou**
Next!
**[12:47] Kake**
Keep it up, everyone!
**[12:50] Ryou**
Next! Last hit!
**[13:06] Mai**
Great.
**[13:07] Tsubasa**
Nice catching, everyone!
**[13:13] Yuuki**
The head priest...
**[13:29] Ryou**
Sunflowers?
**[13:36] Ayaka**
You can tell a lot of care
went into this meal.
**[13:39] Aoi**
Now that's what I call photogenic!
**[13:41] Tomoe**
Wow! They look like bats!
**[13:45] Yuuki**
It's a special dinner for our
last night of training camp.
**[13:48] Kake**
Thank you, Nozaki-san.
**[13:50] Kake**
Well, shall we?
**[13:53] All**
Let's eat!
**[13:54] Yuuki**
Eat up, girls!
**[14:02] Waka**
I can't tell if it's sweet or spicy...
**[14:06] Tomoe**
It's, um, I mean...
**[14:09] Ryou**
It all tastes terrible.
***SIGN*** Straight down Main Street!?
**[14:15] Aoi**
What did you put in this?
**[14:17] Yuuki**
Um... I didn't want to make it too spicy
just in case anyone didn't like spicy stuff,
**[14:22] Yuuki**
so I added sugar...
**[14:24] Yuuki**
And milk to make it milder,
mint to make it refreshing,
**[14:28] Yuuki**
and for that ethnic touch, cilantro...
all ground up in equal amounts.
**[14:33] Yuuki**
Then, to add nutritional value...
**[14:36] Waka**
We've heard enough, Nozaki-san.
**[14:37] Ryou**
Mint and cilantro. That's why
I couldn't make sense of the smell.
**[14:41] Waka**
You're still eating it,
though, Shinonome-san.
**[14:44] Ryou**
Only to make sure I keep my strength up.
**[14:49] Tsubasa**
Well, I think it works pretty we—
**[14:53] Yuuki**
I'm so very sorry.
**[14:55] Yoshimi**
Hey, this is really good!
**[14:57] Yuuki**
Y-You mean it?
**[14:59] Yoshimi**
Yeah! What is it, anyway?
**[15:02] Yuuki**
Um... It's curry rice...
**[15:05] Yoshimi**
Oh! Okay!
**[15:11] All**
Wow, I'm impressed!
**[15:12] All**
This is all training.
**[15:13] All**
Really?
**[15:13] All**
I just needed to get used to it.
**[15:21] Aoi**
There's something missing...
**[15:24] Yoshimi**
Maybe it's that thing the
head priest taught us to use?
**[15:27] Aoi**
Yeah! That's exactly what I need!
**[15:30] Yoshimi**
I sure am grateful for
the head priest's teachings.
**[15:33] Ryou**
Um... Who's this "head priest"
you're talking about?
**[15:38] Yoshimi**
Huh?
**[15:38] Ryou**
Well, you mentioned a head priest...
**[15:41] Waka**
The head priest is... well, the head priest.
**[15:44] Ryou**
Of this temple?
**[15:45] Tomoe**
Yeah. We greeted him on
the first day, remember?
**[15:49] Yoshimi**
Come on, you saw him, didn't you?
**[15:51] Ryou**
No, I didn't...
**[15:53] Akane**
He was there when we were
doing our practice swings, too.
**[15:57] Ryou**
I didn't notice him.
**[15:59] Tsubasa**
Of course he was there!
**[16:00] Tsubasa**
He's short, and he's always smiling.
**[16:03] Tsubasa**
Jeez, come on now!
**[16:05] Mai**
What's the matter?
**[16:07] Tomoe**
Shinonome-san is saying weird things.
**[16:14] Waka**
Nakano-san, could we take a look at that?
**[16:17] Ayaka**
Huh?
**[16:18] Waka**
He should be in this video.
**[16:23] Tomoe**
Um... Huh?
**[16:26] Ayaka**
What?
**[16:28] Kana**
Why...
**[16:29] Mai**
Wh-What's going on here?
**[16:31] Ryou**
There, you see? No head priest
anywhere to be found.
**[16:38] Priest**
*You'll find practice difficult tomorrow.*
**[16:47] Yuuki**
All I wanted was for our last
dinner here to be enjoyable...
**[16:55] Yuuki**
Huh? Did the power go out?
**[17:06] Yuuki**
Head priest?
**[17:08] Priest**
Now, you mustn't sigh.
**[17:11] Yuuki**
I'm sorry. It slipped out.
**[17:14] Priest**
There's no need to apologize.
**[17:16] Yuuki**
I keep... causing problems for everyone else.
**[17:21] Yuuki**
I'm just... so hopeless.
**[17:24] Priest**
You're being awfully hard on yourself.
**[17:27] Priest**
Come, join me over here.
**[17:37] Priest**
Your friend suggested that
you try pitching, correct?
**[17:42] Yuuki**
Yes...
**[17:43] Priest**
There's nothing wrong with
being concerned about others,
**[17:46] Priest**
and not wanting to hit
anyone with your pitches.
**[17:49] Priest**
But you shouldn't take it to extremes.
**[17:51] Yuuki**
But I don't think I can...
**[18:01] Priest**
Here. Try throwing it.
**[18:04] Yuuki**
B-But...
**[18:07] Priest**
It'll be all right. Come now.
**[18:10] Yuuki**
But if I hit you, it'll hurt a lot.
**[18:14] Priest**
Just pretend I'm a ghost.
**[18:17] Priest**
Then you can throw it without
a care in the world, right?
**[18:21] Yuuki**
A ghost?
**[18:27] Priest**
Yes, that's it!
**[18:30] Priest**
Keep smiling like that, and relax a bit more.
**[18:35] Priest**
The most important thing in
life and baseball is to have fun.
**[18:39] Yuuki**
To have fun?
**[19:16] Yuuki**
Huh?
**[19:22] Yuuki**
Head... priest?
**[19:33] Ryou**
Why won't the lights come on?
**[19:35] Voice**
Everyone...
**[19:48] Yoshimi**
H-Hurrah! Sato High!
**[19:53] Waka**
Iwaki-senpai, p-please calm down!
**[19:56] Voice**
Where is everyone?
**[20:02] Yoshimi**
Keep away!
**[20:04] Kake**
Girls?
**[20:07] Kake**
What's wrong?
**[20:11] Ryou**
I told you! There never
was any head priest here.
**[20:14] Tsubasa**
But there totally was!
**[20:16] Tsubasa**
He was this really sweet old man.
**[20:19] Kake**
I didn't see him, either...
**[20:21] Kake**
What's more, the priest here
is only about 30 years old.
**[20:27] Ryou**
Maybe you were all just seeing things.
**[20:29] Yoshimi**
No way! I-It was...
**[20:32] Ayaka**
It must have been a ghost!
**[20:34] Akane**
Did the head priest's ghost...
show up to try to... scare us?
**[20:42] Tomoe**
That didn't seem to be his intention...
**[20:44] Tsubasa**
He was always smiling,
so I don't think he was evil or anything.
**[20:59] Tsubasa**
Yuuki-chan!
**[21:01] Tsubasa**
Why don't you take a shot at pitching?
**[21:06] Yuuki**
Okay!
**[21:13] Yuuki**
It'll be fine.
**[21:20] Tsubasa**
Yes! Nice pitching!
**[21:22] Ryou**
When did you start practicing?
**[21:27] Yuuki**
That's... a secret!
**[21:31] Tsubasa**
All right! Give me one more!
**[21:37] Wife**
It's here again, Father...
**[21:40] Wife**

**[21:52] Ryou**

**[21:58] Tsubasa**
Good job, everyone!
**[22:01] Ayaka**
Huh? Who's that?

It's not the same as last time?
**[04:46] Tsubasa**
Since we have some new members in our ranks,
I came up with a regular roster.
**[04:50] Tsubasa**
I'll get Kakehashi-sensei to hand out your
number decals for the tournament later.
**[04:55] Tsubasa**
Okay, our pitcher will be Kurashiki Maiko.
**[04:58] Maiko**
Me?
**[05:00] Tsubasa**
Our catcher is Suzuki Waka.
**[05:02] Waka**
Right.
**[05:03] Tsubasa**
On first, Nozaki Yuuki.
**[05:05] Yuuki**
R-Right!
**[05:06] Tsubasa**
On second, Asada Aoi.
**[05:09] Aoi**
Second?
**[05:11] Tsubasa**
On third, Shinonome Ryou.
**[05:13] Ryou**
Right.
**[05:14] Tsubasa**
I, Arihara Tsubasa, will play shortstop.
**[05:17] Tsubasa**
In left field, Iwaki Yoshimi.
**[05:19] Yoshimi**
Okay!
**[05:20] Tsubasa**
In center field, Nakano Ayaka.
**[05:22] Ayaka**
Gotcha.
**[05:24] Tsubasa**
In right field, Tsukumo Kana.
**[05:28] Kana**
Okay.
**[05:29] Tsubasa**
This will be our regular roster.
**[05:36] Tomoe**
Then... we'll do our best to support you all.
**[05:39] Akane**
We'll be rooting for everyone.
**[05:42] Tsubasa**
That's important too, but I need
you two to be our base coaches.
**[05:46] Akane**
Base... coaches?
**[05:50] Tsubasa**
We all took turns doing it in
the practice game with Seijo,
**[05:54] Tsubasa**
but it's better to have it
assigned permanently.
**[05:58] Akane**
Okay!
**[05:59] Tomoe**
We've got this!
**[06:00] Tsubasa**
I'm counting on you!
**[06:07] Tomoe**
This means "steal,"
and this means "squeeze."
**[06:10] Tomoe**
What about this?
**[06:11] Akane**
Uh...
**[06:14] Akane**
Oh! "Bunt"!
**[06:15] Tomoe**
Right!
***SIGN*** 2 Weeks Till Nationals
**[06:16] Tomoe**
There are first-base coaches
and third-base coaches,
**[06:19] Tomoe**
but since it's a practice game,
why don't we rotate?
**[06:23] Akane**
Okay!
**[06:33] Tomoe**
Well, guess we should head home.
**[06:38] Akane**
Hey...
**[06:39] Akane**
How did you... really... feel about this?
**[06:44] Tomoe**
Well, I had been practicing on my own,
**[06:47] Tomoe**
so, I mean... you know...
**[06:52] Akane**
Me too...
**[06:54] Akane**
But... Tsukumo-senpai is really good.
**[06:58] Tomoe**
I agree with the decision, too.
**[07:00] Tomoe**
Let's both do our best!

Nice batting!
**[10:23] Waka**

I didn't have a lot of time,

**(Flashback) [10:43] Ayaka**
We need to do whatever we can, right?

I don't want to be left
with regrets like last time.
**[10:51] Maiko**
We don't want to lose, right?
**[10:54] Waka**
Right.
**[11:06] Umpire**

**[11:34] Tsubasa**
Nice batting!
**[11:43] Akane**
*What? She's leading off that much?*
**[11:48] Ayaka**
*Payback time!*
**[11:54] Tsubasa**
Nice running!
**[11:55] Akane**
*Was there a steal sign out?*
**[11:59] Waka**
That pitcher isn't good at pickoffs.
**[12:01] Waka**
Nakano-san's data came in handy.
**[12:04] Waka**
No outs, runner on second...
**[12:06] Aoi**
*Okay, gotcha!*
**[12:08] Akane**
*Um... That one is...*
**[12:19] Umpire**
Out!
**[12:20] Yuuki**
Nice bunt!
**[12:21] Tsubaki**
How could you not see that bunt coming?
**[12:25] Tsubaki**
Do you even practice?
**[12:27] Tomoe**
It's up to you, Tsubasa!
**[12:29] Tsubasa**
Leave it to me!
**[12:33] Umpire**
Strike!
**[12:35] Tsubaki**
You can't pitch like that to her.
**[12:55] Waka**
A home run?
**[12:58] Someone**
Yes!
**[12:58] Someone**
A home run!
**[12:59] Someone**
All right!
**[13:14] Tsubaki**

**[17:16] Kake**
You hung in there a long time.
**[17:18] Waka**
Senpai...
**[17:19] Ayaka**
We're putting up a good fight, though.
**[17:22] Ayaka**
Heck, we might... We just might...
**[17:25] Waka**
Yes, we still have a chance.
**[17:30] Tomoe**
We'll swap bases in the next inning.
**[17:34] Akane**
I can't do it.
**[17:36] Akane**
Third base is more
closely tied with scoring.
**[17:38] Akane**
It's so much responsibility.
**[17:41] Akane**
I'd rather someone else
took over for the first-base coach, too.
**[17:45] Tomoe**
Ukita-san?
**[17:49] Akane**
I'll just sit here and watch.
**[17:53] Akane**
That was all I planned to do when
I joined the association, anyway.
**[18:00] Tsubasa**
What about now?
**[18:04] Tsubasa**
Are you okay with just watching?
**[18:07] Akane**
But we're so close to winning this time...
**[18:10] Tsubasa**
When we first started the association,
**[18:12] Tsubasa**
your determination kept
me going, Akane-chan.
**(Flashback) [18:18] Tsubasa**
You're Nozaki-san from my class, right?
**(Flashback) [18:20] Tomoe**
And Ukita-san, too.
**(Flashback) [18:22] Tsubasa**
You know her?
**(Flashback) [18:23] Tomoe**
She's in my class.
**(Flashback) [18:25] Tsubasa**
Makes sense.
**(Flashback) [18:26] Tsubasa**
Are you interested in baseball?
**(Flashback) [18:28] Akane**
Huh?
**(Flashback) [18:29] Akane**
I-I-I am!
**[18:31] Tsubasa**
Finding out there were other girls
like us at Sato High made me so happy.
**[18:37] Tsubasa**
So I don't want you to give up now.
**[18:41] Tsubasa**
Let's fight through this together,
**[18:44] Tsubasa**
and win!
**[18:47] Akane**
I want to win too... but...
**[18:51] Akane**
I'm scared.
**[18:55] Akane**
So...
**[18:57] Akane**
Please help me!
**[19:02] Tsubasa**
Did that perk you up?
**[19:04] Akane**
Uh-huh!
**[19:07] Tomoe**
Ready to go?
**[19:10] Akane**
Yeah!
**[19:14] Aoi**
I'm as pumped as I can be, too!
**[19:35] Tomoe**
Tsubasa, go!

Go!

**[20:41] Tsubaki**
We're changing pitchers.

This'll be interesting.

They were up early this morning, practicing.

**[03:52] Kake**
Okay, girls, come and get it!
**[03:54] Sato**
Let's eat!
**[03:57] Sayaka**
It's one thing staying in the same place,
**[04:00] Sayaka**
but why do we have to
eat with our opponents?
**[04:03] Ryou**
My thoughts exactly.
**[04:04] Yuuki**
A meal like this tastes better
when everyone eats together.
**[04:08] Yuuki**
Plus, renting one grill rather
than two saves us money.
**[04:12] Ayaka**
You only recently revived
Seijo's baseball team,
**[04:15] Ayaka**
so your budget's pretty tight too, right?
**[04:20] Sayaka**
Eat quickly so we can rest up for tomorrow.
**[04:22] Seijo**
Right.
**[04:33] Tomoe**
Here you go.
**[04:38] Tomoe**

**[04:55] Tsubasa**
For you.
**[05:02] Sayaka**
Thank you.
**[05:06] Tsubasa**
What a surprise, huh?
**[05:08] Tsubasa**
I never imagined we'd face
each other in Game 1.
**[05:17] Sayaka**
They look like they're having fun.
**[05:20] Tsubasa**
You should try to have fun, too!
**[05:23] Sayaka**
Remember what I told you before?
Our team isn't like yours.
**[05:32] Tsubasa**
The stuff about best friends
and comrades, you mean?
**[05:35] Sayaka**
Seijo's goal is to reclaim
its standing in girls' baseball.
**[05:37] Sayaka**
Your team doesn't have
that kind of pressure.
**[05:40] Sayaka**
You won the Senior Little League nationals,
**[05:43] Sayaka**
so you should know by now that
idealistic friendships only hold you back.
**[05:49] Tsubasa**
I hear you.
**[05:58] Tsubasa**
But now, I've started to think there is
more than one way to build a team.
**[06:05] Sayaka**
You really are naïve.
**[06:16] Hana**
Hey!
**[06:20] Hana**
I'm Makino, from Seijo.
**[06:23] Hana**
Are you Kawakita-san,
the girl Sayaka's been coaching?
**[06:26] Tomoe**
Y-Yes.
**[06:28] Hana**
How... did that come about, exactly?
**[06:32] Tomoe**
Wait, did it cause problems for you?
**[06:36] Hana**
N-No, it's not that!
**[06:38] Hana**
It's just...
**[06:40] Hana**
I was surprised to hear
she was doing something like that.
**[06:50] Tomoe**
I guess I kind of pushed her into it.
**[06:55] Hana**
Pushed her into it?
**[07:01] Kake**
Okay, lights out.
**[07:03] All**
Goodnight!
**[07:11] Ayaka**
I heard the girls who signed
our petition for club status
**[07:14] Ayaka**
are gonna be there to cheer us on tomorrow.
**[07:18] Akane**
My mom contacted me
to say she'll be there, too.
**[07:22] Mai**

I guess it's to be expected.
**[08:01] Akane**
I hope sleep comes soon...
**[08:06] Ayaka**
Not right away, probably.
**[08:09] Tsubasa**
Then, I guess now's a good time to
say something I've been meaning to.
**[08:25] Tsubasa**
Thank you for coming this far with me.
**[08:35] Waka**
You don't need to thank us.

Before I took up baseball,

Yes!

Sorry!

Jinguji-san is every bit
as good as Kosaka-san...
**[16:03] Waka**
One of the best pitchers in the tournament.
**[16:06] Ayaka**
We scored the first run last time too,
but they still ended up steamrolling us.
**[16:10] Waka**
Indeed. We need to stay focused.
**[16:13] Hana**
* We worked so hard on our defense,*
* and it's falling apart at crucial times...*

**[00:47] Ryou**
Thank you.
**[00:49] Yuuki**
I'm sorry!
**[00:50] Yuuki**
I messed up.
**[00:53] Maiko**
No point feeling sorry for yourself.
**[00:54] Yoshimi**
Don't worry about it!
**[00:56] Kana**
We're still tied.
**[00:58] Tomoe**
We'll get our chance.
**[01:00] Waka**
That's right.
**[01:01] Waka**
And we're a much better team now
than when we first started out.
**[01:06] Aoi**
It's more than that.
**[01:10] Aoi**
Right now, Seijo kinda seems... I dunno...
more *flustered* than in our practice game.
**[01:17] Aoi**
Jinguji's usually super scary,
but even she looks rattled.
**[01:23] Ryou**
If we plan on going for it,
the sooner the better.
**[01:26] Ryou**
Let's attack from the very first pitch!
**[01:29] Sayaka**
* It's only been two months*

**[01:32] Sayaka**
* I see Kawakita-san isn't the only one*

They're not calling for a timeout.
**[04:49] Waka**
Nozaki-san!
**[04:50] Yuuki**
Yes?
**[04:51] Waka**
Swing as hard as you can!
**[05:02] Yoshimi**
*Two outs and a runner on third...*
**[05:05] Yoshimi**
*Okay!*
**[05:06] Hana**
* She's swung for the fences*

I'm sorry.

No. It was my fault.
**[06:33] Sayaka**
But there's no need to worry.
**[06:36] Sayaka**
Seijo's story cannot end here.
**[06:40] Sayaka**
I will make up for the runs we've given up.
**[06:46] First**
Right.

Okay, Captain!
**[06:48] Hana**
*No...*
**[06:49] Third**
We'll put our faith in you, like always.
**[06:52] Hana**
*We... can't go on like this.*
**(Flashback) [06:55] Tomoe**
I guess I kind of pushed her into it.
**(Flashback) [07:00] Hana**
Pushed her into it?
**[07:04] Sayaka**
Now—
**[07:05] Hana**
You're wrong!
**[07:08] Sayaka**
What?
**[07:09] Hana**
It's true that you've been our captain
since the day we first met.
**(Flashback) [07:15] Sayaka**
I'm Jinguji Sayaka, first-year.
**(Flashback) [07:18] Sayaka**
As of today, I'm reviving
our school's baseball team.
**(Flashback) [07:22] Sayaka**
Anyone who's interested in playing baseball,
**(Flashback) [07:24] Sayaka**
meet me on the field after school today.
**[07:28] Hana**
You alone negotiated with the school board
**[07:30] Hana**
to reinstate the baseball team
that had been disbanded
**[07:34] Hana**
after the scandal involving the coach.
**[07:36] Hana**
And you're the one who's gotten us this far.
**[07:45] Sayaka**
I suppose I'm letting you all down now.
**[07:46] Hana**
You just don't get it!
**[07:50] First**
Makino?
**[07:51] Hana**
We're the ones to blame for
becoming too dependent on you!
**[08:00] Hana**
All we did was trust you,
and we never said what we really felt.
**[08:04] Hana**
We might not be very dependable,
**[08:07] Hana**
but you're not perfect, either!
**[08:10] Hana**
You don't have to carry Seijo...
to carry the rest of the team... all by yourself!
**[08:18] Hana**
Sayaka...
**[08:20] Hana**
Are you having fun playing baseball?
**[08:24] Hana**
Even if it's just for today, why don't
you try to enjoy the experience?
**[08:27] Hana**
Enjoy it with us... Enjoy our baseball.
**[08:35] Sayaka**
What is this?
**[08:38] Sayaka**
This is...
**[08:40] Sayaka**
You're talking as if
we're just a group of friends.
**[08:43] Sayaka**
Should we be wasting valuable
game time discussing this?
**[08:47] Hana**
I'm sorry.
**[08:49] Sayaka**
Today.
**[08:51] Sayaka**
Just for today.
**[08:54] Hana**
Okay!
**[09:16] Hana**

**[12:20] Tomoe**

Sorry, but can I change out, too?
**[12:26] Maiko**
My arm can't take any more.
**[12:28] Maiko**
I don't think I can hit the strike zone now.
**[12:30] Maiko**
Thankfully, we have a great

Here it comes!
**[09:22] Narrator**
The Satogahama Girls' Baseball Team
**[09:24] Narrator**
is an emerging team that only
started playing six months ago.
**[09:28] Ryo**
Next!
**[09:28] Narrator**
But now, after participating in a tournament,
their list of members is growing rapidly.
**[09:29] Maria**
Okay!
**[09:33] Maria**
Huh?
**[09:33] Narrator**
Most of them are completely new to baseball.
**[09:34] Kyoka**
Ow! Hey!
**[09:35] Maria**
I'm sorry!
**[09:37] Narrator**
Do you have any experience playing baseball?
***SIGN*** Q. Do you have baseball experience?
**[09:40] Maria**
No.
**[09:41] Maria**
I watched a tournament and
thought I'd like to try it out.
**[09:45] Narrator**
Isn't it difficult to play official
games without any experience?
***SIGN*** Q. Isn't it difficult to play with no experience?
**[09:49] Maria**
Well, yes. There are a lot of
things I'm still not used to,
**[09:52] Maria**
but that's all part of the fun.
**[09:54] Maria**
It's like our captain, Arihara-san, says:
**[09:57] Maria**
"Experience doesn't matter."
**[09:59] Maria**
"It's more fun for everyone to
take a step forward together."
**[10:03] Yuzu**
Fun...

**[11:10] Guy**
57, 58, 59...
**[11:13] Guy**
One minute!
**[11:14] Guy**
You're in the home stretch! Keep it up!
**[11:23] Yuzu**
Uh, excuse me! Do you know
where the baseball field—
**[11:28] Yuzu**
Kusakari-san?
**[11:37] Yuzu**
The field is on top of a mountain?
That's kind of amazing.
**[11:42] Yuzu**
So, Runa-chan...
**[11:43] Runa**
"Chan"?
**[11:44] Yuzu**
Oh, sorry.
**[11:46] Runa**
What?
**[11:47] Yuzu**
Well, um... Kusakari-san...
**[11:50] Yuzu**
You're trying to get into Satogahama?
**[11:52] Yuzu**
I thought you'd go to a
school with a stronger team.
**[11:54] Runa**
No, I'm not. I just thought
I'd check this place out.
**[11:58] Yuzu**
I see.
**[11:59] Runa**
You, Takanashi-san?
**[12:01] Yuzu**
Oh, you can call me Yuzu.
**[12:03] Runa**
Why'd you come here, Takanashi?
**[12:07] Yuzu**
I'm not really sure.
**[12:09] Yuzu**
Why did I, huh?
**[12:15] Yuzu**
Actually... I was thinking
about quitting baseball.
**[12:20] Yuzu**
I'm just not that good at it,
so I figured enough was enough.
**[12:25] Yuzu**
But I was looking into Satogahama,
and I guess it just caught my interest.
**[12:30] Yuzu**
I wonder why...
**[12:34] Runa**
You probably thought you could
get by on a newly formed team.
**[12:39] Yuzu**
Well, in any case, I thought I'd come take a look.
**[12:41] Yuzu**
It might help me figure out what to do. Yeah.
**[12:47] Yuzu**
We're finally here! But...
**[12:51] Yuzu**
What?! They're on break?!
**[13:02] Yuzu**
Oh, excuse me! Are you on the baseball team?
**[13:06] Ryo**
Who are you two?
**[13:10] Yuzu**
Um... We're here to observe.
**[13:13] Ryo**
Oh. Sorry, the team's on break today.
**[13:20] Ryo**
Well, we already have one
person here to observe,
**[13:22] Ryo**
so you can watch too if you don't
mind that it'll be a free practice.
**[13:37] Lin**
Shinonome-senpai here helped me out when
we were at Kuramoto Chuo Senior together.
**[13:42] Lin**
I'm Lin Lihua.
**[13:44] Runa**
You're trying to get into Satogahama?
**[13:46] Lin**
Yes.
**[13:47] Lin**
Baseball is science.
**[13:49] Lin**
Research and analysis
lead a team to victory.
**[13:52] Lin**
I plan to join the team as a manager
**[13:54] Lin**
and guide this team from a
sports science perspective.
**[13:59] Yuzu**
Sports science?
**[14:01] Lin**
This is a surprise, though.
**[14:02] Lin**
I never thought I'd see the younger sister
of Kaio's captain, Kusakari Rena, here.
**[14:07] Ryo**
Her younger sister?
**[14:09] Lin**
Even with that jacket on, I can tell.
**[14:11] Lin**
Your latissimus dorsi is magnificent,
and your upper arms are perfectly lean.
**[14:15] Lin**
If you're like this now, I can't wait
to see you after you join the team.
**[14:17] Runa**
Stop that!
**[14:19] Runa**
Don't just assume things.
I'm not joining Satogahama.
**[14:22] Lin**
What? You're not?
**[14:24] Runa**
I only came here to see how good they are.
**[14:27] Runa**
I know they're nothing special, though.
**[14:30] Ryo**
You underestimate us.
**[14:33] Yuzu**
Uh, this looks bad...
**[14:35] Lin**
No, this is fantastic.
**[14:37] Lin**
Shinonome-senpai, why don't
you two have a contest?
**[14:40] Lin**
You can play as a pitcher, too, right?
**[14:43] Ryo**
A contest?
**[14:44] Yuzu**
Hang on...
**[14:45] Runa**
Fine with me.
**[14:46] Yuzu**
Huh?!
**[14:47] Lin**
There, you see, Senpai?
**[14:50] Ryo**
All right. It should be
good practice, at least.
**[14:53] Runa**
Didn't Satogahama lose to
Kaio in that tournament?
**[14:57] Runa**
I won't lose to anyone that weak.
**[15:00] Ryo**
You're awfully confident.
**[15:18] Lin**
You'll each get one chance at bat.
**[15:22] Lin**
Okay, Senpai, go ahead.
**[15:34] Lin**
Ball one.
**[15:40] Runa**
*She threw it high inside on purpose.*
**[15:46] Lin**
Ball two.
**[15:50] Runa**
*Next one will be low on the inside corner.*
**[15:57] Lin**
Foul!
**[15:57] Yuzu**
That pitch curved, didn't it?
**[16:00] Lin**
I'm impressed you responded so well to that.
**[16:02] Lin**
You're definitely Kusakari Rena's sister.
**[16:05] Runa**
Stop already. Anyone could do that much.
**[16:08] Lin**
Uh-huh...
**[16:13] Runa**
Okay, I get it. Miracle pitches are allowed.
**[16:16] Lin**
Two balls, one strike.
**[16:18] Yuzu**
*What? She's gonna throw a miracle pitch?*
**[16:24] Lin**
Foul.
**[16:26] Lin**
Two and two.
**[16:31] Ryo**
Your form looks a lot like your sister's.
**[16:35] Runa**
So what?
**[16:37] Ryo**
Nothing. You look alike
because you're sisters.
**[16:40] Runa**
My sister has nothing to do
with this. Just throw it already.
**(Flashback) [16:45] Rena**
All you ever do is copy me.
**(Flashback) [16:49] Rena**
Is being a copy of me enough for you?
**[16:52] Runa**
*I'm not the same as you, Onee-chan.*
**[16:54] Runa**
*I'm not a copy.*
**[17:01] Runa**
*I'll surpass you. Just you watch.*
**[17:03] Yuzu**
*She changed her stance.*
**[17:18] Lin**
Stri—
**[17:19] Lin**
Ball! Ball!
**[17:21] Ryo**
No, she swung. She struck out swinging.
**[17:23] Lin**
No swing. She stopped the bat.
**[17:26] Lin**
The count is three and two.
**[17:32] Yuzu**
That was amazing. I would've
made that a swing and a miss.
**[17:37] Runa**
*That was too close.*
**[17:39] Runa**
*I will get a hit. I will.*
**[17:42] Runa**
*Satogahama?*
**[17:44] Runa**
*Why would I ever go to a school like this?*
**[17:48] Runa**
*There's no way I can lose.*
**[18:01] Lin**
Foul!
**[18:04] Ryo**
You'll be getting those
balls back for us later.
**[18:07] Runa**
Well, stop throwing such wimpy pitches!
**[18:09] Runa**
Compete against me head-on!
**[18:14] Ryo**
What's that about competing?
**[18:16] Ryo**
I'm not competing with you at all.
**[18:20] Yuzu**
*I only came here today to observe,*
**[18:22] Yuzu**
* but this has turned into*
* something a lot bigger.*
**[18:29] Ryo**
I see. So you want to compete that badly?
**[18:39] Lin**
So... what's coming down next?
**[18:42] Yuzu**
Oh, man, I don't think I like this.
**[18:44] Runa**
*It's gonna be straight this time.*
**[18:47] Runa**
* Or is she gonna try to dodge*
* me with a curveball again?*
**[19:14] Yuzu**
I caught it...
**[19:16] Lin**
Strike! You're out!
**[19:22] Lin**
Well done, Senpai.
**[19:24] Lin**
You kept her guessing with
curveballs, and then, in the end...
**[19:27] Yuzu**
Runa-chan...
**[19:34] Yuzu**
Let's just go.
**[19:35] Runa**
Not yet.
**[19:38] Runa**
I can't leave yet.
**[19:47] Runa**
If you want to leave, go by yourself.
**[19:52] Runa**
One more time. I want to go again.
**[19:54] Lin**
But the contest was just one
turn at bat for each of you.
**[19:57] Runa**
It's better than practicing with
just the two of you, isn't it?
**[20:02] Lin**
In that case, if you lose,
you'll join Satogahama.
**[20:06] Runa**
Why should I?! You don't get to decide that!
**[20:08] Lin**
What do you say, Senpai?
**[20:09] Runa**
No way I'll agree to that!
**[20:10] Ryo**
Well, if she insists...
**[20:12] Lin**
Shall we, then?
**[20:15] Runa**
I'm not joining Sato High! I'll get a hit!

Why do you want to join our baseball team?
**[20:57] Yuzu**
I've been playing
baseball since I was little,
**[21:01] Yuzu**
but I thought I'd quit after middle school.
**[21:04] Yuzu**
I felt like I couldn't keep it up
forever just because I like it.
**[21:14] Yuzu**
But...
**[21:17] Yuzu**
Quitting even though
I don't dislike it would be...
**[21:21] Yuzu**
How should I put it?
**[21:27] Yuzu**
Um, I thought if I played with
this team, I could have fun.
**[21:32] Yuzu**
I guess... I really do love baseball.
**[21:37] Yuzu**
Uh... Sorry I'm being so vague here...
**[21:42] Waka**
I think it's fine. We have all
kinds of people on our team.
**[21:46] Tsubasa**
Oh! You're gonna join our baseball team?
**[21:49] Waka**
I know our captain will
welcome you with open arms.
**[21:53] Tsubasa**
Well, come in, come in!

Yes!
**[22:07] Sora**

**[22:10] Tsubasa**
You're new students, too?
**[22:12] Both**
Nice to meet you.
**[22:14] Tsubasa**
Please, come on in!
