[04:29] President
    You can't just start your own club.
[04:32] Tsubasa
    I'm sorry!
[04:34] Tomoe
    Wait a second, Student Council President!
[04:37] Tsubasa
    Tomocchi?
[04:37] Tomoe
    I told Tsubasa that
    if she wanted to start a club,
[04:40] Tomoe
    she should do something
    to make it stand out.
[04:42] Tsubasa
    But what I did just now was all my idea.
[04:46] Tomoe
    No, I was the one
    who planted the idea in her head...
[04:48] Tsubasa
    I'm the one at fault here!
[04:51] Kana
    You're too close.
[04:57] President
    Miss Kakehashi...
[04:59] President
    I'll leave it in your hands.
[05:02] Sensei
    Okay.
[05:05] Girl
    Have you chosen a club yet, Nakano?
[05:07] Ayaka
    I've always had my heart set on
    joining the school newspapurr.
[05:15] Sensei
    It's time to get homeroom underway.
[05:17] Ayaka
    Ah, the celebrity returns.
[05:20] Girl
    I bet the student council gave you an earful.
[05:24] Girl
    A girls' baseball team, was it?
[05:26] Girl
    Our school doesn't even
    have a boys' baseball team.
[05:29] Girl
    Isn't that because it used
    to be an all-girls school?
[05:31] Girl
    Oh, yeah...
[05:32] Sensei
    All right, take your seats.
[05:35] Yuuki
    That girl... is in my class.
[05:42] Yuuki
    A club...
[05:44] Yuuki
    Which one should I join?
[06:04] Akane
    Where is it?

[06:14] 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.

[07:15] Girl
    You're pretty tall.
[07:17] Girl
    Wanna join the basketball team?
[07:18] Yuuki
    Uh, I'm not really into...
[07:20] Yuuki
    I-I'm sorry!
[07:23] Yuuki
    Maybe I'll just join

[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?

    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!

    W-Want to go together?

[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

[15:52] Akane
    I bet that'd hurt...

    That's impossible!

    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...

    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.

    It's okay!

    What?!
[19:04] Kid
    Why?!
[19:05] Kid
    That's not right!
[19:11] Kid
    Is she calling a home run?

    I won't let her get one!
