***SIGN*** ~ Our Second Summer, Beyond the Sky ~
**[01:34] Touma**
I'm told I was a real crybaby
when I was a kid.
**[01:43] Otomi**
Seems that way, yeah.
**[01:47] Otomi**
Dad told me you changed
after I joined the household.
**[01:55] Otomi**
Is that true?
**[02:17] Otomi**
Here, your coffee.
**[02:24] Touma**
He was just so cool.
**[02:28] Otomi**
Who was?
**[02:36] Touma**
Sou was.
**[02:39] Touma**
In my childish heart, I wanted
to be a big brother like that.
**[02:44] Touma**
So I decided, "I can't just
keep crying all the time."
**[02:51] Touma**
Hot!
**[02:57] Otomi**
For as long as I can remember,,
my friends always envied me.
**[03:02] Otomi**
They all wanted a big brother like that.
**[03:06] Touma**
Yeah, I believe it.
**[03:09] Otomi**
But...
**[03:11] Otomi**
I don't need two of Sou.
**[03:17] Otomi**
To the hypercompetent Sou,
I was just the annoying little sister.
**[03:23] Otomi**
But in your eyes, I was indispensable.
**[04:24] Touma**
Yeah.
**[04:27] Touma**
If it wasn't for you, I would've thrown
in the towel the minute Sou showed up,
**[04:32] Touma**
and not even bothered competing.
**[04:38] Touma**
That's for sure.
**[04:46] Otomi**
I see, I see.
**[04:48] Otomi**
You worked really hard.
**[04:50] Otomi**
You even stole the role of ace from Sou.
**[04:54] Otomi**
Good boy, good boy.
**[04:58] Touma**
I just beat him at rock paper scissors.
**[05:01] Touma**
Only one game of it at that.
**[05:04] Touma**
I would've insisted on making it
two out of three myself.
**[05:09] Touma**
Why'd he back off just like that?
**[05:14] Otomi**
I'll bet...
**[05:16] Otomi**
he thought I'd be happier that way.
**[05:28] Otomi**
At least, I think so.
**[05:39] Touma**
Damn it.
**[05:42] Otomi**
Want another coffee?
**[05:44] Touma**
Yeah.
***SIGN*** Tachibana
***SIGN*** Punch
**[06:08] Otomi**
There we go.
**[06:10] Touma**
What's in there?
**[06:13] Otomi**
We haven't had a chance
to sit and chat in a while,
**[06:17] Otomi**
so I think it's time we caught up.
**[06:20] Touma**
Okay, fine.
**[06:24] Otomi**
Take a look. In here—
**[06:36] Otomi**
Someone's there.
**[06:53] Harada**
Oh.
**[06:56] Harada**
Crud.
**[06:59] Harada**
I had too much to drink and
walked to the wrong house.
**[07:07] Touma**
Do we know a single adult who
doesn't get blind stinking drunk?
***SIGN*** Punch
**[07:18] Otomi**
Here. Your water.
**[07:26] Harada**
Ah, sorry about this.
**[07:30] Harada**
Living in that tent was just so good,
I slipped back into old habits.
**[07:36] Touma**
What's wrong with you?
Your family's got that huge place.
**[07:41] Harada**
I can't get comfortable
on a nice, soft bed like that.
**[07:58] Harada**
Where's everyone else?
**[08:01] Otomi**
Mom went for a weekender at a hot
springs resort with the manager's wife.
**[08:07] Harada**
And Souichirou?
**[08:09] Otomi**
He's at the manager's house getting
treated to Haruka's home cooking.
**[08:14] Harada**
So it's just the two of you here?
**[08:18] Touma**
Yeah. So?
**[08:22] Harada**
Sorry to interrupt.
**[08:27] Harada**
Later.
**[08:42] Harada**
Mind if I light an incense
stick for your dad?
**[09:24] Harada**
It'll be all right, sir.
**[09:34] Harada**
It'll be all right.
**[09:56] Harada**
I'm counting on you with Touma.
**[10:04] Harada**
Later.
**[10:13] Touma**
What did he say?
**[10:16] Touma**
Did he ask you for something?
**[10:25] Otomi**
Nah. Anyway, picking up where we left off—
**[10:33] Souichirou**
Did I just pass that old guy with amnesia?
**[10:41] Otomi**
Welcome back.
**[10:43] Touma**
You're back early.
**[10:45] Souichirou**
On what planet?
**[10:48] Souichirou**
It's already past ten.
**[10:50] Touma**
Oh. You're right.

Safe!
**[12:30] Ooyama**
Heck yeah!
**[12:33] Ooyama**
Is that ten hits now?
**[12:36] Haruka**
Yup. The new faces to the
lineup are working hard, too.

**[12:52] Ooyama**
Well, I knew our opponents today
would be stronger on offense than defense.
***SIGN*** Meisei
**[12:59] Ooyama**
Still, it feels good racking up all those hits.
**[13:06] Ooyama**
Although...
**[13:14] Ooyama**
Even if they *are* strong on offense,
isn't Natsuno giving up a few too many runs?
***SIGN*** Nantara
**[13:28] Touma**
It was the same in the last match.
**[13:30] Touma**
I think he's pitching a little high overall.
**[13:36] Touma**
Even though his best pitches
are sinkers with excellent control.
**[13:46] Touma**
Plus, he's thrown a lot of
wild pitches and loose ones today.
**[13:56] Umpire**
Ball four! One out, bases loaded!
**[14:01] Ooyama**
Pitcher change!
**[14:13] Natsuno**
I set it up so things
would be exciting for you.
**[14:17] Touma**
You idiot.
**[14:19] Touma**
You'd better work on that
pitching form of yours!
**[14:22] Natsuno**
Sure.
**[14:25] Souichirou**
Stay alert.
**[14:28] Souichirou**
Natsuno's condition is part of the problem,
but they really are swinging well.
**[14:33] Touma**
Yeah, I've been watching.
**[14:36] Touma**
They're all really working hard.
**[14:43] Umpire**
Play ball!
**[15:03] Ooyama**
Looks like he's shaken off
the ghost of his dad.
**[15:08] Haruka**
He hasn't shaken off anything.
**[15:12] Haruka**
He's taken his father's
feelings fully on board.
**[15:32] Ooyama**
It's much cooler this way.
***SIGN*** Meisei
***SIGN*** Nantara
**[15:49] Narrator**
*This is how the match ended.*
***SIGN*** Library
**[16:05] Otomi**
Yes!
**[16:06] Arisa**
They won?
**[16:15] Otomi**
It was 11-4. Called in the eighth.
**[16:19] Arisa**
How'd Akai do?
**[16:21] Otomi**
Um...
**[16:24] Otomi**
Looks like he got three hits.
**[16:27] Arisa**
I see.
**[16:30] Otomi**
Who are you telling?
**[16:33] Otomi**
Oh, Akai's big brother?
**[16:39] Otomi**
Oh, am I wrong? Sorry.
**[16:45] Arisa**
They're an odd set of siblings.
**[16:48] Arisa**
Apparently, they barely talk at home.
**[16:54] Arisa**
But he's still really worried
about his brother.
**[17:03] Otomi**
They're siblings who grow by butting heads.
At least, that's what he told Tou.
**[17:11] Arisa**
Having non-blood-related
siblings sounds like a pain.
**[17:16] Otomi**
Does it?
**[17:18] Arisa**
Oh, right. You're in that situation, too.
**[17:22] Arisa**
Wait, which brother are you related to again?
**[17:26] Otomi**
Which do you think?
**[17:32] Arisa**
I don't really care.
**[17:38] Arisa**
Oh.
**[17:40] Arisa**
About that guy...
**[17:42] Otomi**
That guy?
**[17:44] Arisa**
Akai's older brother.
**[17:46] Otomi**
Oh, right, right.
**[17:48] Arisa**
Bet you think he's cold and aloof, don't you?
**[17:52] Otomi**
What? Uh, I didn't...
**[17:56] Arisa**
But he's actually surprisingly...
**[18:03] Arisa**
I don't really care.
**[18:10] Yoshiko**
Looks like her feelings for Akai
totally transferred to his brother.
**[18:15] Otomi**
I always thought they'd make a good match.
**[18:20] Yoshiko**
I *thought* she'd been less prickly and looking
more attractive lately. That explains it.
**[18:27] Yoshiko**
Okay! So if I wanna get prettier,
I should start dating someone, too!
**[18:34] Yoshiko**
Hey, did you get more attractive, too?
**[18:37] Masaki**
Huh?
**[18:56] Masaki**
Mobile payments?
***SIGN*** DRAGON
**[18:58] Masaki**
QR codes? Cashless?
**[19:00] Masaki**
What? What? Huh? Huh?
**[19:02] Masaki**
What *is* all that crap?!
***SIGN*** DRAGON
**[19:04] Masaki**
Never heard the phrase, "Cash on
delivery makes for good neighbors"?!
***SIGN*** DRAGON
**[19:08] Masaki**
Takes some nerve to try to eat out on a card!
***SIGN*** DRAGON
***SIGN*** DRAGON
***SIGN*** DRAGON
**[19:11] Masaki**
Get lost!

***SIGN*** Punch
**[19:35] Otomi**
Morning, Punch.
***SIGN*** Punch
**[19:42] Otomi**
Here. Your breakfast.
**[20:04] Mayumi**
Oh, Otomi.
**[20:07] Otomi**
Tou, right?
**[20:10] Otomi**
Morning, Sou.
**[20:11] Souichirou**
Morning.
**[20:19] Mayumi**
Did you notice?
**[20:22] Souichirou**
Notice what?
**[20:24] Mayumi**
Tou's been finishing his breakfast lately.
**[20:29] Mayumi**
You always leave before him,
so I bet you didn't know that.
**[20:37] Souichirou**
I'll bet.
**[20:46] Otomi**
You're awake!
**[20:53] Touma**
Of course I am.
**[22:08] Otomi**
I'm heading out.
**[22:09] Mayumi**
Have a good day!
**[22:11] Souichirou**
See you.
**[22:17] Touma**
Later.
**[22:20] Mayumi**
Take care on your way.
**[22:22] Touma**
It's not a long enough walk to take care on.
**[22:45] Otomi**
Mom said, "Take care on your way."
**[22:49] Souichirou**
Yeah?
**[22:52] Touma**
Like I said...
**[22:54] Touma**
It's not a long enough walk to take care on.
**[22:57] Otomi**
Just do it.
**[23:01] Narrator**
*The usual morning. The usual walk to school.*
**[23:06] Narrator**
*Always similar, but a little bit different.*
**[23:10] Narrator**
