# Cinderella Nine
When Arihara Tsubasa enters Rigahama Municipal High School and learns that it has no baseball club, she starts up the Girls' Baseball Club on her own. Drawn to the club are girls who have never played baseball before, girls who once played it but quit, and girls who are constantly tackling great challenges. The Rigahama Girls' Baseball Club races through the trials of youth, periodically clashing and quarreling, but supporting each other all the way! And so begins the hottest summer the world has ever known...

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.

You're pretty tall.

**[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,

**[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

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...

**[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**

**[20:12] Kid**
No way!
**[20:19] Tsubasa**
Nice play!

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.

**(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,
**(Flashback) [01:29] Kana**
and there is no appropriate
location on this campus.
**(Flashback) [01:33] Tsubasa**
Then, we'll find a place ourselves.
**[01:37] Tsubasa**
What should we do?

**[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!

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.

**[04:45] 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.

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

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**

Yeah, I tried to explain how to,
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

It's an old ball field.
**[09:19] Sensei**
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.

**[10:10] All**
Hello.
**[10:12] Hinata**
The field maintenance tools
should still be usable, at least.
**[10:21] All**
Thank you very much!
**[10:23] Hinata**
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...

We must put some serious thought
into how we will use our funds.
**[04:17] Tomoe**
You're right.
**[04:18] Tomoe**
We'll need balls, helmets...
**[04:21] Tsubasa**
Well, we can think about all that later.
**[04:24] Tsubasa**
We already have some gear,
**[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**

*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!

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.

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!

**(Flashback) [03:16] Ryou**
We're not just playing around here!
**[03:25] Ryou**
*I can't let it end here.*
**[03:27] Ryou**
* I have to win this tournament*
* and keep moving forward.*
**(Flashback) [03:32] Kid**
Arihara! Knock it out of the park!
**[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.

**[11:42] Tsubasa**

Did you hear us?
**[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!

Our field cleanup operation is complete!

**[00:26] All**
We're finally done!
**[00:28] All**

At last, we're not

**[00:33] Yuuki**
Now we can practice using the entire field!
**[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**
That's a fair price.
**[05:48] Tsubasa**
Okay, then, let's use our club funds!
**[05:51] Tomoe**

**[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.
**[06:16] Kotone**
Th-These are uniforms for the baseball team?
**[06:19] Tomoe**
Yeah. You're in the art club,

these to come up with a design...

**[06:54] Sensei**
I found a team you can play
a practice game with...
**[06:56] All**
You did?!
**[06:58] Sensei**
Yes...
***SIGN*** Girls' Baseball Association!
***SIGN*** Remember to knock!
**[07:00] Waka**
Seijo? From the next town over?
**[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.
***SIGN*** Seijo

**[17:08] Tsubasa**
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!

**[00:09] Tomoe**
This part is wrong.
**[00:11] Tsubasa**
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,
**[00:31] Tomoe**
and go to Sato High together! Okay?
**[00:36] Tsubasa**
Yeah!

**[00:45] Tsubasa**
Uh... Helium!

Um, uh...
**[00:53] Tomoe**
"Happy Henry Likes Beer," Tsubasa!
**[00:55] Tsubasa**
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...
**[01:27] Tsubasa**
best friends! Right?
**[01:30] Tomoe**
Yeah, yeah.
***SIGN*** What We Do From Now On
**[03:10] Tsubasa**
I think we should bump our
practice regimen up a notch,
**[03:13] Tsubasa**
to give us a chance

**[03:16] Ryou**
Then, let's get started right away.
**[03:18] All**
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:
**[05:57] Tomoe**
*I still have time, right?*
**[06:05] Tomoe**
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.

**[20:22] Tomoe**

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!

I'm glad I caught you!
**[11:40] Kake**
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

**[14:04] Ayaka**
It's Kurashiki-paisen!
**[14:05] Yuuki**
Senpai? What happened to her?
**[14:08] Ayaka**
I happened to overhear
in the staff office...
**[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

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 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**

**[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

You all looked great out there.
**[13:53] Akane**
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**
Nice going, Asada-senpai!

And what's wrong with that?
**[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!

Take that!
**[16:45] Kake**
Hold it! Stay right there!

**[16:55] Kake**
I'm so sorry, girls!
**[16:58] Kake**
I was ready to give up.

I thought this year's
tournament was out of reach.
**[17:05] Kake**
But I'm over it! Now I've got myself

Do it like you're throwing a ball.
**[07:04] Ryou**
Like that.
**[07:11] Ryou**
Nozaki-san, a moment.
**[07:13] Yuuki**
Yes?
**[07:20] Ryou**
Why don't you give this a try?
**[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...

**[21:52] Ryou**

Good job, everyone!

Huh? Who's that?

It's not the same as last time?

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**

**[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.

**[10:02] Someone**
Nice steal!
**[10:03] Someone**
Good job!
**[10:14] Tomoe**
*Not good enough!*
**[10:16] Someone**
Go! Go! You can make it!
**[10:20] Someone**
Nice batting!
**[10:23] Waka**
Senpai...
**[10:27] Maiko**
That woke me up.

I didn't have a lot of time,

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**
See what I mean?
**[13:20] Tomoe**

**[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!
**[19:39] Umpire**

**[19:57] Waka**
Tsukumo-senpai... We're counting on you.
**[20:15] Umpire**

**[20:16] Akane**
Go!

Safe!
**[20:36] Tsubasa**
Nice coaching!
**[20:41] Tsubaki**
We're changing pitchers.
**[20:44] Waka**
Here she comes.
**[20:47] Maiko**
This'll be interesting.
**[20:51] Umpire**
Strike! You're out!

Go for it!

Don't mention it. It's the least I can do to help.
**[00:25] Teacher**
They're all out cold, huh?

They were up early this morning, practicing.

Yes, the plan is to cook dinner there.

**[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**
*Where's Jinguji-san?*
**[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**

**[07:24] Waka**
My brother said he'd come.

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.

**[13:20] Sato**
Yes!
**[13:21] Third**
Sorry!

Don't worry about it.
**[13:26] Hana**

We can't let our guard down.
**[16:00] Waka**
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...*

She literally slapped some
focus back into herself.
***SIGN*** Satogahama

**[20:32] Sayaka**
Let's be more selective over
what pitches we swing at.
**[20:37] Waka**
*We need to watch out for long hits.*
**[20:41] Waka**
Outfield!
**[21:04] Waka**
*It's okay. Just keep calm.*
**[21:19] Waka**
*Down the middle?*
**[21:21] Umpire**
Strike!
**[21:31] Waka**
*They're waiting on specific pitches?*
**[21:34] Waka**
*Still, if she can keep pitching a good line,*
**[21:36] Waka**
*they'll have trouble getting hits.*
**[21:48] Waka**
Get one first!
***SIGN*** Satogahama
***SIGN*** Seijo

**[00:42] Maria**
Yes!
**[00:44] Kake**
Nice catch, Shinonome-san!
**[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*
* since our practice game.*
**[01:32] Sayaka**
* I see Kawakita-san isn't the only one*
* who's been working to improve since then.*
**[01:43] Sayaka**
* But Seijo's only goal is*
* winning this tournament.*
**[01:48] Sayaka**
* We don't have time to*
* waste on teams like you!*
***SIGN*** The Hottest Summer Ever

Go!
**[03:55] Ayaka**
This is it! Now's our chance!
**[03:57] Waka**
Yeah.
**[04:09] Hana**
*Sayaka...*
**[04:13] Umpire**
Strike!
**[04:21] Hana**
*A squeeze!*
**[04:41] Waka**
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*
* every time she's been up.*
**[05:09] Hana**
*Time for some fastballs.*
**[05:16] Yoshimi**
I refuse to strike out again!
**[05:19] Yuuki**
You probably shouldn't say that out loud...
**[05:22] Tsubasa**
Iwaki-senpai!
**[05:23] Ryou**
Hey!
**[05:24] Tsubasa**
Just relax!
**[05:26] Tsubasa**
Watch the ball and make sure you connect!
**[05:29] Yoshimi**
Gotcha!
**[05:37] Hana**
*She choked up on the bat?*
**[05:46] Sayaka**
Center!
**[05:47] Yoshimi**
Oh, crap!
**[05:53] Maiko**
You're kidding...
**[05:59] Someone**
Wow! A home run!
**[06:02] Yoshimi**
Huh?!
**[06:03] All**

***SIGN*** Satogahama

Timeout, please.
**[06:23] Someone**
What's up?
**[06:23] Aoi**
What's going on?
**[06:28] Hana**
I'm sorry.
**[06:29] Sayaka**
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.
**[06:47] Second**
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**
Nice pitching!
**[09:21] Tsubasa**
Looks like she's back on her feet.
**[09:24] Ryou**

That will make it difficult to run.
**[12:06] Umpire**
Do you want to swap in another player?
**[12:10] Tsubasa**
Yes!
**[12:11] Tsubasa**
Tomocchi! Take second!
**[12:14] Tomoe**
Huh?
**[12:15] Aoi**
I'm counting on you to
take it from here, Tomocchi!
**[12:20] Tomoe**
Okay!
**[12:21] Maiko**
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
relief pitcher right here.
**[12:35] Yuuki**
Me?
**[12:37] Waka**
Are you up for it, Nozaki-san?
**[12:40] Yuuki**
I am.

You'll be fine. I'll block any wild pitches.

Okay!

She's gonna be trouble.

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...

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**

**[22:10] Tsubasa**

**[22:12] Both**
