    Tomocchi! Morning!
[01:01] Tomoe
    Morning.
[01:02] Tomoe
    What's that?
[01:04] Tsubasa
    A bat I found at home!
[01:06] Tomoe
    Oh, that's good.
[01:08] Tomoe
    Oh, yeah. We get to use
    our club room starting today.
[01:11] Tsubasa
    All right! I'm gonna be the first one there!
[01:15] Tomoe
    Hang on, Tsubasa!
[01:16] Tomoe
    We have classes first, remember?

[03:03] Ayaka
    This story's a dud...
    This one's no good, either!
[03:06] Ayaka
    I need the purrfect story for
    the newspaper club's first issue!
[03:09] Ayaka
    Story!
[03:11] Maria
    Um...
[03:13] Maria
    Could you please refrain
    from shouting in here?
[03:18] Maria
    Anyway, this school doesn't
    even have a newspaper club...
[03:23] Ayaka

[03:49] Tsubasa
    Our very own club room!
[03:52] Yuuki
    Now we can change without
    worrying about being seen.
[03:55] Waka
    We can discuss tactics in here, too.
[03:58] Akane
    Yeah!
[03:59] Tomoe
    The teacher also said we can
    get funding if we apply for it!
[04:02] Tsubasa
    F-Funding?!
[04:03] Tsubasa
    Now we'll be able to buy
    all the balls we need!
[04:06] Akane
    This is really starting
    to feel like a club now.
[04:09] Yuuki
    Right?
[04:12] Waka
    There's lots of gear we still need.
[04:14] Waka
    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
    Field
    Hit
[13:32] Waka
    One more.
[13:39] Yuuki
    I did it!
[13:42] Aoi
    What?
[13:43] Aoi
    That can't be right...
[13:50] Aoi
    I can predict them now!

[14:12] Yoshimi
    Bring it on!
[14:23] Akane
    I can't hit it at all.
[14:25] Tsubasa
    Try it this way.
[14:28] Tsubasa
    Try standing like this.
[14:31] Akane
    Like... this?
[14:34] Tsubasa
    Yeah, that's it!
[14:35] Tsubasa
    Then, you just have to
    pump yourself up to hit it!
[14:38] Akane
    P-Pump myself up?
SIGN    Left

SIGN    Right
    Field
    Hit
[14:46] Tsubasa
    Hit it!
[14:55] Tsubasa
    You did it!
[14:57] Ayaka
    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
    Hit
[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
