[02:17] Dai     It's been four months since     I collapsed from overdoing it. [02:21] Dai     After that, I reviewed our     overloaded training regimen, [02:25] Dai     talked it over with everyone, [02:26] Dai     and bit by bit, got us to a place where we     could strengthen on a sustainable schedule. [02:32] Dai     We also decided against     putting Sawa-san on the mound, [02:34] Txt     Fuurin Academy [02:34] Txt     Fuurin Academy [02:34] Txt     Eihou Academy [02:34] Txt     Eihou Academy [02:35] Dai     and went into the summer tournament     with the same lineup as in spring. [02:46] Ump     Strike! [02:48] Dai     Unfortunately, we drew Eihou in     the first round and bit the dust. [02:52] Dai     It was extra sad for Tanba-san because,     as a third-year, it was his last summer, [02:56] Dai     but that's how our tournament ended. [03:00] Dai     Of course, it would've     been nice if we'd won more, [03:03] Dai     but our overall goal was to     make it to regionals next year, [03:09] Dai     so it didn't faze us too much. [03:12] Tao     One more! [03:14] Chi     You got this! [03:16] Dai     Now that we're down to eight players, [03:18] Dai     we can't compete in official games     until we get new recruits in the spring. [03:23] Dai     Because we're a prep school, Tanba-san didn't     have entrance exams, so he agreed to help out. [03:27] Dai     Right now, we're improving by     playing scrimmages every weekend [03:31] Dai     in preparation for spring. [03:36] Mut     Tanba-san! [03:39] Ump     Out! [03:40] Mut     We did it! [03:51] Dai     Our helper got hurt... [03:54] Dai     It'll take two months to heal?! [03:56] Tan     I'm so sorry. [03:58] Tan     I wasn't really able to     contribute as a player, [04:01] Tan     so I wanted to at least be of some     use to you before I graduate, but... [04:04] Dai     No, we're the ones who should be sorry. [04:08] Dai     We're really grateful you     helped us out for this long. [04:11] Dai     Thank you so much. [04:17] Tao     What are we gonna do, Daigo? [04:19] Tao     With eight of us, we can't even play scrimmages     until new players show up in the spring. [04:25] Dai     We'll just have to find someone     who already goes to this school. [04:28] Dai     Do you know anyone? [04:30] Tao     'Course I don't. It's fall already,     for crying out loud.

[05:06] Dai     My older sister happens to go to this school.     Maybe we should try asking her? [05:16] Dai     I didn't even know Chisato had an older sister,     let alone that she goes to our school. [05:21] Dai     Yeah. [05:22] Dai     It was a shock finding out     Chisato is Coach Fujii's daughter, [05:28] Dai     and now we find out her     sister's the same age as us... [05:31] Dai     How many more surprises is the     Fujii family going to spring on us? [05:35] Dai     Yeah, for real. [05:37] Dai     Oh, I should've asked if her sister     also played for Yokohama Little. [05:42] Dai     If she did, we might even     be able to rely on her skills. [05:45] Mut     You're right.

[07:51] Chi     Hm, well, somewhere along the line,     Chiyo turned into a complete homebody. [07:56] Chi     When we were little, she used     to play baseball with Dad and me. [08:01] Chi     As she got older, she quit baseball, [08:04] Chi     but still did swimming classes     and went to tennis school. [08:08] Chi     That's why I think she's not     as unathletic as she claims. [08:11] Kan     So your sister used to play baseball? [08:14] Yay     Why'd she stop? [08:16] Chi     Hm, I wonder...

[08:52] Chiy     Did you go snooping to     find out I was in the art club? [08:56] Chiy     That's really creepy. [08:58] Dai     Oh, uh, no.

[09:29] Dai     Nishina! [09:30] Nis     They told me to come get you 'cause     we can't practice without our captain. [09:34] Nis     Took me ages to find you. [09:36] Dai     Oh, sorry. [09:38] Nis     It doesn't matter that it's     Chisato's sister. Just give it up. [09:42] Nis     Besides, there's no way it'll work     out if you force someone to join. [09:47] Dai     B-But... [09:54] Chiy     H-He's so handsome! [09:58] Nis     Anyway, what are you doing,     adding more girls to our team? [10:01] Dai     I'm desperate because there's nobody else! [10:05] Dai     With eight players, we won't be able to play     anyone until new students join in the spring. [10:09] Nis     Oh, about that. I did some      asking around during lunch. [10:15] Nis     Apparently, Chiba's been hung     out to dry in Senior League, [10:19] Nis     so he said he wouldn't mind     seeing what kinda setup we've got. [10:25] Dai     Really?! [10:29] Dai     Uh, which one was Chiba again? [10:35] Chi     Hey. Is the captain here? [10:41] Ani     Our captain ain't here right now. [10:44] Ani     But forget that. Who are you? [10:46] Chi     Oh, right. You weren't here then,     so you don't know who I am. [10:52] Chi     I'm Chiba Takumi. I was     playing for Kawasaki Seniors, [10:55] Chi     but Nishina told me you didn't have     enough players, so I'm here now. [10:59] Chi     Hope you're grateful. [11:13] Chi     Ah, you're home, Chiyo. [11:15] Chi     Oh, the bath's free. I'm done. [11:18] Chiy     Chisato, you recommended me     for the baseball team, didn't you? [11:23] Chi     Yeah, I did. After all,     you used to play baseball before. [11:28] Chi     And you don't really care about art club     since you only go once or twice a week. [11:32] Chi     So I thought there was     a chance you might join. [11:35] Chi     Was it a bother? [11:37] Chiy     Y-You know, you're just so— [11:39] Chi     Oh! We were a player short, [11:42] Chi     but a first-year just joined,     so we're okay for now. [11:46] Chi     He said he'd join in with practice tomorrow. [11:49] Chiy     Whatever. [11:50] Chiy     Oh, yeah. There's this handsome     player with a tan on your team, right? [11:56] Chi     You mean Anita? [11:57] Chiy     No, that's your tomboy friend! [12:00] Chiy     I'm talking about a boy! A boy! [12:02] Chi     Oh, you mean Nishina? [12:04] Chi     I'm not sure I'd call him handsome, though. [12:07] Chi     What about him? [12:09] Chiy     O-Oh, nothing. [12:19] Chiy     Nishina-kun, huh? [12:22] (Flashback) Nis     No girl on the planet likes being called big. [12:26] Chiy     Unlike that irritating captain, [12:30] Chiy     he was kind and handsome. [12:35] Chiy     Anyway, I knew Chisato     never really understood... [12:41] Chiy     ...why I ended up quitting baseball. [12:46] Chib     All right, bring it! [12:58] Chi     He's good! [12:59] Ani     Ya can tell he got in on a baseball ticket. [13:01] Yay     We've got ourselves a player. [13:03] Dai     All right, we'll do some batting next! [13:06] Chib     Got it! [13:08] Nis     Chiba, did you improve again? [13:11] Chib     You betcha. [13:12] Nish     But if you got hung out to dry, [13:15] Nish     the overall level in Senior     League must be crazy high. [13:18] Chib     Oh, that? I wasn't benched     because I couldn't cut it. [13:23] Nis     Huh? [13:24] Chib     The coach there basically refuses to field     first-years, however good they are. [13:30] Chib     But here, there's no annoying coach,     the level's not all that high, [13:34] Chib     so it looks like I can just have fun. [13:42] Chib     Uh, what? I expected Nishina     to have taken your spot by now. [13:46] Chib     Oh well. Feel free to try and     get me out with your best pitch. [13:51] Dai     Wait, where's your helmet? [13:53] Chib     Huh? [13:54] Chib     I don't need one. I mean, it's a rubber ball. [13:57] Chib     I played in Senior League where we used      leather ones. This is like playing house. [14:04] Ani     Amazin' how much half a year     of Senior League can bloat an ego. [14:08] Tao     Kids that age are like that. [14:11] Mut     This first-year's just     as arrogant as last time. [14:15] Mut     I don't really want him on the team. [14:21] Chib     H-Huh. Looks like it curves     more than the last time I saw it. [14:25] Dai     Timeout. [14:27] Dai     You can't do that, Mutsuko. You're meant to let     him hit it, not throw breaking balls at him. [14:33] Mut     But he said to give him my best pitch. [14:36] Mut     He's looking down on me. [14:38] Dai     You can't let him provoke you! [14:40] Dai     Officially, we're putting     him through his paces, [14:43] Dai     but in reality, we just want him to     feel good so he joins the team for sure. [14:48] Mut     Oh, right. [14:51] Ani     What're they whisperin' 'bout? [14:53] Tao     Probably telling her to humor him. [14:55] Mut     Fine, I'll let him hit it. Happy?! [15:03] Dai     Well, as you all saw,     he definitely doesn't lack for skill, [15:10] Dai     so starting today, Chiba-kun     will officially be joining the team. [15:15] Chib     I came here from the boring     sausage fest that was Senior [15:18] Chib     because I was told this     team was a babe paradise. [15:22] Chib     So I look forward to you all     cheering and swooning for me. [15:25] Kan     That's sexual harassment! [15:26] Ani     He called us babes. [15:27] Tao     Oh, gosh, were you talking about me? [15:30] Mut     He totally looks down on all of us. [15:33] Chib     So, captain, what's my position? [15:36] Dai     Oh, right. First's open at the moment, [15:39] Dai     but let's keep the long-term     picture in mind and think it over. [15:42] Dai     After all, you only just joined today. [15:44] Chib     What is there to think about? [15:46] Chib     You just saw how good I am. [15:49] Chib     Yo, who's the shortstop? [15:51] Tao     I am. Why? [15:53] Chib     Oh, it's you? [15:54] Chib     I remember seeing you in the spring. [15:57] Chib     I remember thinking you were good for a girl. [16:00] Chib     Emphasis on "for a girl." [16:05] Nis     H-Hey now, what's got into you, Chiba? [16:07] Nis     I thought you said you     just wanted to have fun. [16:09] Chb     You saw how good my     defense was earlier, right? [16:12] Chb     So you get it, don't you? [16:14] Chb     You will let me play shortstop, won't you? [16:27] Tao     Dream on! [16:29] Tao     Positions are something you take.

[17:15] Chib     You used to be the one who always complained     about morning practice and stuff. [17:19] Chib     You've changed. [17:22] Chib     There's no scary coach or seniors there,     so nobody's gonna yell at you. [17:27] Nis     Shut up! [17:28] Nis     How will you get better at baseball     if you don't go to morning practice?! [17:33] Nis     And anyway, doing stuff based on whether     someone's gonna yell at you or not?

[19:57] Mut     I mean, it's true he's plugging a gap,      and I'm grateful he's doing that... [20:02] Mut     But when he disrupts the team's energy like     he did this morning, you have to tell him off.
