    then head out to the night
    court to practice some futsal.
[13:01] Sanae
    Afterward, we'll spend a bit of time
    working on individual weaknesses, then it's over.
[13:06] Player A

[13:47] Hazuki
    There was that one team
    at today's interview
[13:50] Hazuki
    who bragged about how they'd never lose
    against a team with five or fewer members.
[13:55] Hazuki
    RISE, aren't you going to have a hard time
    from here on out, with only three members?
[13:58] Hiyori
    Yes...
[14:00] Teena
    Are you never going to add any more members?
[14:03] Sumika
    Not necessarily, but...
[14:05] Chihiro
    Saki-chan, you tend to rely on personal
    skill a lot because you're short-staffed, right?
[14:10] Saki
    That's right.
[14:14] Yuriko
    Hazukichi being an idiot isn't news, but...
[14:19] Yuriko
    Why are Hiro-kun and Teena having
    a good time with the enemy?
[14:24] Yuriko
    Is being an idiot contagious?
[14:25] Tomo
    Maybe they found something in common.
[14:28] Tomo
    Especially Hiro-kun.
[14:30] Tomo
    She doesn't usually find anyone
    younger to hang out with.
[14:33] Hazuki
    All right, break time is over!
[14:35] Teena
    Let's go next!
[14:37] Hiyori & Sumika & Saki & Chihiro
    Yeah!
[14:42] Hazuki
    Hiro-kun!
[14:43] Chihiro
    Yes!
[14:49] Hazuki
    Wide open.
[14:51] Hazuki
    One more to finish off...
[14:55] Hazuki
    Gotcha!
[14:59] Hazuki
    Hiyosuke!
[15:08] Yuriko
    Thank you.
[15:10] Nono
    Time's up!
[15:12] Hazuki
    I'm impressed, Hiyosuke. You came
    all the way back from there?
[15:17] Tomo
    What do you mean "impressed,"
    you idiot?! Apologize first!
[15:20] Tomo
    You just kicked a shot into
    a younger girl's face!
[15:24] Hazuki
    Oh, right!
[15:26] Hazuki
    I'm so sorry, Hiyosuke! Sorry!
[15:29] Hiyori
    I-I'm fine.
[15:33] Sanae
    Well, that's all for today.
[15:36] All
    Thank you very much!
[15:39] Hazuki
    I think we both got a good deal of practice.
[15:41] Hiyori
    Yes!
[15:43] Teena
    Oh, let's exchange Group
    Talks! As May-Bee and RISE!
[15:47] Hiyori
    Thank you! It's an honor!
[15:49] Tomo
    If our schedules match,
    let's practice again.
[15:52] Sumika
    Please call us whenever you want!
[15:54] Chihiro
    We have to work on our music, too.
[15:57] Chihiro
    You can count on us. We'll teach you!
[15:59] Saki
    Thank you!
[16:01] Sanae
    We'll call a taxi for your return trip.
[16:05] Nono
    Thank you!
[16:12] Hiyori
    We learned a lot during
    practice today, but...
[16:16] Sumika
    We seriously need to look
    into finding more teammates.
[16:20] Saki
    I think we need at least one,
    preferably two more people.
[16:24] Sumika
    In sports that involve batting
    orders and rotations,
[16:27] Sumika
    having a large headcount really matters.
[16:30] Sumika
    Especially baseball.
[16:32] Nono
    Oh, breaking news. Hiyori-sama,
    please open your tablet.
[16:37] Nono
    The first round of the Extreme
    Hearts Kanagawa Finals Tournament

    on July 4th, ten days from now.
[16:45] Nono
    The sport is...
SIGN    Baseball
[16:47] Nono
    Baseball.
[16:48] Nono
    RISE will be facing the metal band "Banshee,"
[16:52] Nono
    which has 11 members.
[16:57] Hiyori
    Oh, it's May-Bee.
[16:59] Hazuki
    Hey RISE! Did you get the news?
[17:02] Hiyori
    Yes, just now.
[17:03] Yuriko
    Here's the interview footage
    from your opponent, Banshee.
[17:08] RiN
    Against a team with fewer players,
[17:11] RiN
    we'll go for intentional walks in baseball,
    and look to score fouls in basketball.
[17:14] RiN
    We'll do anything the rules allow.
[17:17] RiN
    Everything but winning is meaningless.
[17:21] Yuriko
    Sorry. Better luck next year.
[17:24] Teena
    RISE, don't lose!
[17:26] Chihiro
    Good luck!
[17:28] Hiyori
    Thank you!
[17:29] Saki
    We'll do our best!
[17:30] Hazuki
    Later!
[17:34] Saki
    W-Well... Let's look for some new members!
[17:38] Sumika
    And come up with a plan to win
    with only the three of us!
[17:41] Hiyori
    While practicing baseball!
[17:44] Nono
    Yes!
[17:45] Hiyori
    Let's do this!
SIGN    Slow Down

    This is the team I used to
    play with, the Fujisawa Wings!
[18:00] Kids
    Hello!
[18:01] RISE & Nono
    Thank you for your help!
[18:20] Player D
    Out!
[18:26] Sumika
    Yes, they're both quite good at fielding.
[18:29] Sumika
    The batting is the issue, as I thought.
[18:32] All
    Thank you very much!
[18:35] Sumika
    All of you must be hungry.
[18:37] Sumika
    Here's a treat from your big
    sisters Hiyori and Nono!
[18:42] Hiyori
    We have iced tea, too.
[18:44] Players
    Thank you!
[18:46] Sumika
    Made by the rising star
    Hiyorin herself. So precious!
[18:50] Players
    Wow! Yay!
[18:52] Saki
    Do you know of anyone, like a
    relative or someone at your school,
[18:56] Saki
    who's good at sports and
    wants to become an idol?
[18:58] Boy A
    Hmm, I can't think of anyone.
[19:01] Boy B
    I don't know.
[19:02] Boy C
    Oh, but I heard...
[19:05] Boy C
    There's a woman who hits balls going 150 kph
    out of the park at a batting cage nearby.
[19:10] Boy D
    I've heard of that.
    They say she's super huge.
[19:14] Saki

SIGN    Batting Center
[19:41] Hiyori
    I know. Since I'll be practicing
    at the batting cage,
[19:44] Hiyori
    I might as well ask around.
[19:50] Hiyori
    I'll ask about that big girl from the rumor,
[19:52] Hiyori
    but also just people interested
    in sports idols in general.
[19:57] Hiyori
    I'll ask around, do 100 bunts,
    then run to the next batting cage.
[20:02] Hiyori
    Good plan!
[20:10] Hiyori
