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?
***SIGN*** Let's Work Up a Good Sweat
**[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**
Club? Club...

**[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**

**[13:32] Waka**

*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!

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**

**[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**
In the semifinal game...
***SIGN*** The All-Japan Senior Little League Baseball Championship
**(Flashback) [21:24] Umpire**
Strike! You're out!
**[21:37] Tsubasa**
In truth, we were losing.
