[00:03] Tsubasa
    No one's coming.
[00:05] Tomoe
    They're just running a little late.
SIGN    Three Weeks Earlier
[00:17] Tsubasa
    Okay, here I go.
[00:23] Tsubasa
    Our field cleanup operation is complete!
[00:26] All
    Yay!
[00:26] All
    We're finally done!
[00:28] All
    What a great feeling!
[00:30] Tomoe
    At last, we're not
    the "weeding association" anymore!
[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!
SIGN    Satogahama Baseball
[05:39] Akane
    Ten...
[05:40] Akane
    Ten thousand yen?!
[05:42] Owner
    Yeah. A complete uniform is 10,000 yen.
[05:46] Ryou
    That's a fair price.
[05:48] Tsubasa
    Okay, then, let's use our club funds!
[05:51] Tomoe
    We have no money left.
[05:52] Both
    Huh?!
[05:53] Tomoe
    We spent all our funds on practice balls.
SIGN    Practice Balls
SIGN    Practice Balls
[05:55] Tomoe
    Associations don't receive
    that much funding, anyway.
[05:58] Tsubasa
    Our funds!
[06:01] Waka
    I guess we'll all have to ask our parents
    to pay for our uniforms.
[06:04] Tsubasa
    That means getting
    an advance on my allowance...
[06:08] Owner
    By the way, what kind of design did you want?
[06:11] Owner
    If you have any ideas in mind,
    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,
    right, Amakusa-san?
[06:22] Akane
    We were hoping you could use
    these to come up with a design...
[06:26] Kotone
    High school girls running
    around on the field... blue sky...
[06:29] Kotone
    The parabola drawn by the ball...
[06:32] Kotone
    I've got it!
[06:36] Tomoe
    Ta-da!
[06:39] Ryou
    A s-skirt?
[06:41] Tsubasa
    I think it's cute!
[06:42] All
    Yeah!
[06:44] Ryou
    If you all like it, I guess it's fine, but...
[06:46] Yuuki
    We're still an association,
[06:48] Yuuki
    but we're looking the part more and more.
[06:51] Tsubasa
    Yeah!
[06:52] Sensei
    Girls!
[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.

[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!
