    Arihara Tsubasa here.
[00:05] Tsubasa
    Give me a sitrep, please. Over.
[00:07] Yuuki
    This is Nozaki.
[00:09] Yuuki
    Sadly, it looks like the school ground
    is out of the question.
[00:16] Tomoe
    No luck with the gym, either.
[00:21] Akane
    Doesn't look like the judo hall
    will work, either...
[00:23] Tomoe
    I don't think it's possible to
    play baseball in a judo hall, anyway.
[00:29] Tsubasa
    Isn't there anywhere else?

[00:39] Tsubasa
    Okay, this is where the girls'
    baseball association will practice!
[00:46] Yuuki
    Are you sure it's all right?
[00:48] Tomoe
    Won't the student council
    chew us out again if they find out?
[00:52] Tsubasa
    It'll be fi—
[00:53] Kana
    Who authorized this?
[00:56] Tsubasa
    Um, well...
[00:59] Kana
    I will have to inform
    the student council president of this.
[01:03] Tsubasa
    I'm sorry!
[01:07] Sensei
    Well, it would indeed be dangerous
    if a ball were to break a window.
(Flashback) [01:15] Tsubasa
    Why can't we practice here at school?
(Flashback) [01:19] Kana
    This school already has twenty athletic clubs
    and fifteen cultural clubs.
(Flashback) [01:24] Kana
    In addition, the sport of baseball
    requires extensive facilities and equipment,
(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?

    Yeah. Gloves are even shaped differently,
    depending on your position.
[04:04] Tsubasa
    But since we haven't decided

    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.

    Hey, Suzuki-san, does this mean
    you're interested in baseball?

    You use them to shape tough gloves.

    Shape them?

    Yes, you work the leather

    You came up with

    kept scorebooks, and took care of our gear.

    Will you be okay?

    Sure. Thank you for doing this.

    The field maintenance tools
    should still be usable, at least.

    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.

    It might hurt a bit, but you can catch it.
