[00:01] Hiyori
    We won the Extreme Hearts
    Kanagawa prelims block finals,
[00:05] Hiyori
    and are now entering the final tournament.
[00:08] Hiyori
    We also got to practice with May-Bee,
[00:11] Hiyori
    a more senior group, and the
    current reigning champions.
[00:16] Hiyori
    But the fact that RISE only has three
    registered members is a huge weakness.

[00:21] Hiyori
    On top of that, our first match
    is going to be baseball,
[00:24] Hiyori
    a game where having a full line-up
    really makes a difference.

[00:26] Hiyori
    Our opponent, BanShee, proudly declared
    that they'll employ intentional walks
[00:30] Hiyori
    against teams that have fewer members.
[00:35] Hiyori
    That's why, while practicing, I pursued
    a rumor about an impressive batter
SIGN    Batting Center
[00:39] Hiyori
    to see if I could find a new recruit.

    I was able to find that impressive batter,

[00:49] Hiyori
    Pardon me for the bluntness, but do you
    have any interest in the performing arts?

    Huh?

[02:28] Yukino
    I see.

    HIYORI HAYAMA
[02:30] Yukino
    Hayama-san, your group is taking part
    in a sporting event for performing artists.
[02:35] Yukino
    You're recruiting new
    members to join your team.
[02:38] Hiyori
    Exactly!
[02:39] Hiyori
    Our next match is baseball, so we really
    want at least one more powerful teammate.
[02:45] Yukino
    I see. Unfortunately,
    I've never played baseball.
[02:50] Hiyori
    Really? But your batting was so awesome.
[02:53] Yukino
    Also, due to various circumstances,
    I don't have much free time.
[02:59] Yukino
    Therefore...
[03:00] Hiyori
    Um!
[03:01] Hiyori
    I won't ask you to join
    our team immediately!
[03:04] Hiyori
    But could you just come
    visit us at our practice?!
[03:08] Hiyori
    Please...
[03:10] Yukino
    All right. Just to watch.
[03:14] Hiyori
    Thank you!
[03:16] Yukino
    But please, don't expect much from me.
[03:20] Hiyori
    Yes, just to watch, for starters!
[03:24] Yukino
    Hayama-san, you're a high
    school student, right?
[03:26] Hiyori
    Yes! Second-year!
[03:28] Yukino
    I see. I am also a second-year.
[03:31] Yukino
    You don't have to speak so politely to me.
[03:35] Yukino
    I am Yukino Tachibana, second-year student
    at Kamakura Touryou High School.
[03:39] Hiyori
    I'm Hiyori Hayama, second-year student
    at Yokohama Shinnei High School!
[03:45] Hiyori
    I found someone who might
    be willing to join!
[03:48] Hiyori
    She's probably the girl the
    Wings were talking about!
[03:51] Sumika
    What, really?
[03:53] Hiyori
    Yukino Tachibana-chan, second-year
    student at Kamakura Touryou High School!
[03:58] Hiyori
    I just sent you a photo!
[04:00] Hiyori
    She said she's never played baseball before,
    but she's an awesome batter!
[04:04] Hiyori
    So I asked her to just come
    watch us for starters.
[04:07] Hiyori
    She'll come visit us tomorrow!
[04:10] Saki
    Wow, she's so pretty.
[04:13] Sumika
    Nicely done, Hiyorin!
[04:16] Hiyori
    Just a bit of breaking news!
[04:19] Hiyori
    We'll discuss more during
    morning practice tomorrow!
[04:21] Saki
    Yes!
[04:23] Sumika
    All right, see you tomorrow!
[04:24] Hiyori
    Right, good night!
[04:28] Sumika
    Well done, Hiyorin. Way to go, director!
[04:33] Sumika
    But...
[04:34] Sumika
    Yukino Tachibana... Where have
     I heard that name before?
[04:42] Hiyori
    All right, then!
[04:44] Yukino
    I am Yukino Tachibana. Nice to meet you.
[04:48] Sumika & Saki & Player Robots
    Nice to meet you!
[04:50] Sumika
    Hi! I'm Sumika Maehara. I'm the pitcher!
[04:54] Saki
    I'm Saki Kodaka!
[04:56] Yukino
    Nice to meet you all.
[04:59] Sumika
    Okay! So, Tachibana-san,
[05:01] Sumika
    why don't we get you up on the
    plate for some batting practice?
[05:03] Yukino
    Oh no! I'm only here to watch.
[05:06] Sumika
    You can watch my pitch at the plate.
[05:08] Sumika
    If you feel like it, you can hit it, too!
[05:11] Yukino
    Huh...
[05:12] Hiyori
    Just treat this as a batting cage of sorts.
[05:16] Saki
    Here.
[05:20] Yukino
    All right.
[05:29] Sumika
    She sure is impressive.
[05:32] Sumika
    Seems powerful!
[05:34] Sumika
    San-chan, for starters, I'll go with
    a fastball, but really low and on the outside.
[05:40] Player Robot 3
    Understood.
[05:49] Sumika
    What?!
[05:53] Nono
    That's a foul.
[05:55] Sumika
    No way! That was the tip of the bat!
[05:59] Yukino
    That was fast. I was too slow.
[06:02] Sumika
    Let's try some breaking balls!
[06:09] Nono
    Strike!
[06:24] Nono
    Ball!
[06:25] Sumika
    Hmm, couldn't get her.
[06:28] Yukino
    That one was close. I have
    to pay more attention.
[06:33] Sumika
    Then how about this!
[06:45] Hiyori
    Huh?
[06:46] Hiyori
    Whoa!
[06:48] Yukino
    Oh...
[06:49] Saki
    Hiyori-senpai!
[06:51] Sumika
    Hiyorin, are you okay?
[06:54] Hiyori
    I... I got it...
[06:59] Yukino
    You got me. I lose.
[07:03] Sumika
    No, you're awesome, Tachibana-san!
[07:06] Yukino
    But that wasn't your
    full power, was it, Maehara-san?
[07:12] Sumika
    Oh... Well...
[07:15] Player Robot 3
    It is, due to limitations in our abilities.
[07:17] Player Robot 3
    We can't catch Sumika-san's fully
    geared-up fastballs and breaking balls.
[07:23] Yukino
    I see.
[07:26] Yukino
    If I may, can I try catching your ball?
[07:29] Sumika
    Huh?
[07:30] Yukino
    I do have some experience as a catcher,
    though only in softball.
[07:34] Sumika
    Awesome!
[07:40] Yukino
    All right, go ahead!
[07:42] Sumika
    Got it! Fastball, dead center!
[07:53] Yukino
    Good pitch.
[07:55] Sumika
    Yes!
[07:56] Sumika
    All right! Can I throw a full-power fastball?
[08:00] Yukino
    Please.
[08:12] Yukino
    Very nice. Keep them coming!
[08:17] Sumika
    All right! I'll keep them going!
[08:20] Yukino
    Nice pitch!
[08:20] Hiyori
    Sumi-chan seems happy.
[08:23] Saki
    Yes.
[08:24] Saki
    Tachibana-san seems happy, too.
[08:28] Nono
    Time's up!
[08:31] Yukino
    Thank you for today, everyone.
[08:34] Yukino
    I'll be off, then.
[08:36] Hiyori
    By the way!
[08:37] Hiyori
    We'll be practicing here after school, too!
[08:40] Sumika
    We have little league players
    that help us practice.
[08:43] Sumika
    It'll be played like a real game.
[08:45] Saki
    Please join us, Tachibana-san!
[08:51] Yukino
    Thank you. I'll come and visit.
[08:55] Players
    How was it?
[08:56] Players
    I had no luck at all!
[08:58] Hiyori

    Yukino Tachibana-san, who will
    be joining us in practice today!
[09:04] Yukino
    Thank you.

    Thank you!

    All right, let the game begin!

    Strike, batter's out!
[10:11] All
    Thank you very much!
[10:15] Pitcher
    Yukino-san, I'd like to play you again soon!
[10:19] Pitcher
    I didn't do well today at all,
    but next time, I promise I'll win!
[10:23] Yukino
    Yes, and I'll do my best to win as well.
[10:26] Player A
    Yukino-san, are you going to join
    Director Hiyori and Sumi-chan-senpai's team?
[10:32] Yukino
    Um...
[10:34] Yukino
    It would be great if they'd let me in, yes.
[10:38] Player A
    You would, right?
[10:39] Player A
    Right, Director Hiyori?
[10:41] Hiyori
    Yes! We're passionately
    trying to recruit her!
[10:43] Nono
    Lots of rice balls today, too!
[10:47] Player A
    Yay!
[10:49] Saki
    Oh, we're practicing some more later today.
[10:53] Saki
    What's your schedule like, Tachibana-san?
[10:55] Yukino
    Oh... I'm sorry. I have family
    matters to attend to today.
[11:00] Saki
    I see. Well, we're practicing
    every day, so...
[11:05] Yukino
    Yes. Same time tomorrow, right?
[11:08] Saki
    Yes!
[11:23] Hiyori
    So, baseball practice is important, but we
     can't forget about this aspect either.
[11:29] Hiyori
    It's time for singing lessons!
[11:31] Sumika & Saki & Nono
    Yeah!
[11:33] Yukino
    U-Um...?
[11:35] Saki
    This is something we do, too!
[11:38] Sumika
    Sports and performing...
    We have to do both.
[11:42] Sumika
    That's what's tough about being a Extreme
    Hearts player, and the fun part, too.
[11:46] Yukino
    I see. Do you always practice singing here?
[11:50] Saki
    Karaoke is great for raising our voices,
    and we can bring in instruments, too.
[11:54] Sumika
    At this hour of the day, it's really
    affordable, too! So many perks!
[11:58] Yukino
    I see.
[12:00] Saki
    So, as part of your observation
    of our activities,
[12:03] Hiyori
    Yuki-chan, join us!
[12:04] Yukino
    What!?
[12:06] Sumika
    It's what every new recruit
    goes through. Sing a song!
[12:11] Hiyori & Saki & Nono
    Yay!
[12:12] Yukino
    What?! What?!
[12:14] Sumika
    It's fine, just sing any song you know!

    She's on a higher level than us...
[13:14] Saki
    Indeed.
[13:15] Hiyori
    Yuki-chan used to study Nagauta
    when she was younger. Right?
[13:20] Yukino
    Only very briefly.
[13:22] Saki
    What's "Nagauta"?
[13:23] Nono
    A traditional Japanese style of music.
[13:26] Nono
    One of the sub-genres of shamisen music.
[13:28] Sumika
    I see.
[13:29] Saki
    Impressive.
[13:31] Hiyori
    Yuki-chan used to do flower arrangement, too.
[13:34] Yukino
    That was just something
    my mother showed me.
[13:36] Saki & Sumika
    Awesome!
[13:37] Saki
    If you could join us, Yukino-san,
[13:39] Saki
    RISE's performance will open
    up to a whole new level!
[13:43] Sumika
    Seriously!
[13:44] Hiyori
    Right?
[13:46] Yukino
    Um, weren't you all going to practice?
[13:50] Hiyori
    Oh, right!
[13:58] Hiyori
    Yuki-chan, go ahead and join us.
[14:02] Yukino
    Yes.
[14:12] All
    Good workout!
[14:15] Hiyori
    Can you summarize today's practice logs, too?
[14:17] Sumika
    Hey, Tachibana-san, can you spare
    a bit more time today after this?
[14:18] Nono
    Yes, you can count on me!
[14:21] Sumika
    I'd like to have a chat
    with you, as batterymates!
[14:24] Yukino
    Um, sure.
[14:27] Saki
    See you tomorrow!
[14:27] Nono
    Please take care.
[14:28] Hiyori
    See you tomorrow!
[14:30] Sumika
    Later!
[14:38] Sumika
    We made you go through a lot.
[14:41] Sumika
    What do you think about our team?
[14:44] Yukino
    I think it's a nice team.
[14:46] Sumika
    I'd like you to be
    my batterymate, Tachibana-san.
[14:51] Sumika
    What do you think? Can you work with me?
[14:54] Yukino
    I'm really honored to receive the invitation.
[14:57] Yukino
    But...

    There's a reason you can't join?

[15:06] Sumika
    Tachibana-san, you used
    to play softball, right?
[15:09] Sumika
    You were a regular player from your first
    year at Kanagawa Kourin Middle School,
[15:13] Sumika
    on its prestigious softball team.
[15:14] Sumika
    In your second year, you were

[15:18] Sumika
    In the world of softball,
    you were pretty famous.
[15:21] Yukino
    Yes...
[15:23] Sumika
    But in your third year,
    you didn't join any team.
[15:27] Sumika
    There must be a reason, right?

    Yes, it's a kendo dojo.
[15:56] Yukino
    We don't have any pupils or
    instructors right now, though.
[16:07] Yukino
    My father and my brother.
[16:10] Yukino
    Three years ago, they went
    to visit a friend's dojo.
[16:12] Yukino
    On the way back, they got
    in a traffic accident.
[16:17] Yukino
    Can you come meet my grandfather?
[16:20] Yukino
    Master, may we come in?
[16:23] Souichi
    Please.
[16:26] Souichi
    Hey there, welcome.
[16:29] Saki & Hiyori & Sumika
    Hello.
[16:31] Yukino
    My grandfather is a master swordsman,
[16:34] Yukino
    and has taught a style called "Tachibana-ryu."
[16:38] Yukino
    My father was supposed to take over after
    my grandfather, and my brother after him.
[16:44] Yukino
    That's what everyone thought.
[16:47] Yukino
    I studied the sword just a little,
[16:51] Yukino
    but was mostly allowed
    to do whatever I wanted.
[16:55] Yukino
    Lots of cultural activities,
    and softball in middle school.
[17:00] Yukino
    When our whole family
    was alive, I was very happy.
[17:05] Yukino
    But after my father and brother passed away,
[17:07] Yukino
    and after my grandfather
    got seriously injured,
[17:10] Yukino
    my mother has supported
    this family all by herself.
[17:15] Yukino
    In order to carry on the will that
    my father and brother left behind,
[17:20] Yukino
    in order to carry on the legacy of
    Tachibana-ryu that my grandfather inherited,
[17:27] Yukino
    I must train, so that I can take
    over Tachibana-ryu and this dojo.
[17:32] Yukino
    That's why I quit sports and the other
    activities to concentrate on swordsmanship.
[17:40] Yukino
    So...
[17:41] Yukino
    I don't have time to have fun
    singing and playing sports.
[17:51] Yukino
    I'm sorry I made you come
    all the way out here.
[17:54] Yukino
    I'll send you off.
[17:55] Hiyori
    Our practice!
[17:57] Hiyori
    You won't be coming anymore?
[18:04] Shiho
    Oh, are you all leaving so soon?
[18:07] Shiho
    I'm sorry I wasn't able
    to do anything for you.
[18:09] Sumika
    Sorry...
[18:11] Saki
    Excuse us.
[18:15] Shiho
    One moment.
[18:16] Shiho
    I'll have this wrapped up,
    so you can take it home with you.
[18:20] Shiho
    Yukino, if you could, please.
[18:22] Yukino
    Yes.
[18:36] Shiho
    I see. That's what she said.
[18:40] Hiyori
    It all started when I asked her for help.
[18:44] Hiyori
    I'm sorry I made her get concerned...
[18:47] Shiho
    No, when she talked about you, she seemed
    like she genuinely had a good time.
[18:52] Shiho
    She was really impressed by how you all
[18:55] Shiho
    were fighting hard in the
    tough world of sports idols.
[18:59] Shiho
    Both her grandfather and
    I are really glad to hear
[19:02] Shiho
    that Yukino wants to take
    over Tachibana-ryu.
[19:07] Shiho
    But she's only sixteen.
[19:10] Shiho
    Sixteen is one of the most fun
    points of a person's life, right?
[19:15] Shiho
    Playing with friends,
    getting into something exciting...
[19:19] Shiho
    I don't want her to paint over all of
    those opportunities with a sense of duty.
[19:24] Shiho
    Her father and brother would
    have opposed that, too.
[19:30] Shiho
    I want Yukino to find something she can
    really get into. My father agrees.
[19:36] Shiho
    If playing with you is that thing,
    they I want to support that.
[19:41] Yukino
    Here are the gifts.
[19:44] Yukino
    I'll leave them here.
[19:46] Shiho
    Oh, Yukino, come here for a second...
[19:50] Shiho
    She's...
[19:51] Hiyori
    Um, please, don't worry!

    Please let her know we'll contact her again.
[20:10] Shiho
    Understood, I will.
[20:16] Sumika
    It must be tough for Tachibana-san.
[20:19] Saki
    But still, she spent so much time with us.
[20:23] Hiyori
    Yeah...
[20:24] Hiyori
    If Yuki-chan really wants to dedicate
    herself 100% to the way of the sword,
[20:29] Hiyori
    it would be bad for us to push her too hard.
[20:32] Hiyori
    But when she was playing baseball,
    she really seemed to be having a good time.
[20:37] Saki
    During singing lessons, too.
[20:39] Sumika
    Playing is more fun than
    tough training, that's obvious.
[20:44] Sumika
    But still...
[20:46] Sumika
    She looked like she was about
    to cry when she turned us down.
[20:50] Sumika
    How can we give up on her after that?
[20:54] Saki
    I also want Tachibana-san to join RISE.
[20:59] Hiyori
    Yeah, I don't want to give up on her, either.
[21:03] Hiyori
    I'll call her and send her texts. I
    want to talk seriously with her again.
[21:08] Sumika
    Yeah!
[21:09] Sumika
    All right, for today, let's
    go back to practice!
[21:12] Saki
    So that we can win as three, if we have to!
[21:16] Hiyori
    Right!

[21:47] Yukino
    I'm sorry...
[21:52] Sumika
    She won't pick up.
[21:54] Saki
    The game is tomorrow...
[21:56] Saki
    At the very least, we have to go through
    tomorrow's match with just the three of us.
[22:00] Nono
    Yes.
[22:01] Hiyori
    The three of us will win tomorrow's match,
    and then we can go back to recruit her again.
[22:06] Saki
    Yes.
[22:09] Sumika
    Right.
[22:10] Hiyori
    Yeah...
[23:50] Hiyori
    I'll get on the bases as the leadoff hitter,
    and Icchan and the others will follow.
[23:54] Saki
    Sumika and I will score hits.
[23:55] Sumika
    For defense, I'll strike everyone out!
[23:57] Hiyori
    Let's win and go see Yuki-chan again!
[23:59] Hiyori
    Next episode: "The Sword of the Heart."
SIGN    Let's go!
[24:01] Hiyori
    I hope our wishes get through to her!
