Even if it's a waste, we want to win.
Don't treat baseball so lightly! - But you'll win.
No, rather, we'll win as we're weak, and think of a way to do it.
For that, first of all, from today, I'll become your manager.
"Even if we're weak, we can win",
why don't we show proof of that together.
Yes, sir!
Ahh...
Manager?
Oh, that's admirable.
So, free practice before our morning training.
Manager, what are you doing here so early?
I was walking to wake myself up and ended up coming here.
To wake up? - Humans are social beings so
the most efficient way to wake up is to put yourself in the presence of others.
Is that how it is? - Yeah, see you at school.
See you.
You can see that rooftop from this store?
It's Shirao-kun's daily routine to practice his swings there
before our morning training.
He hasn't missed a single day ever since we entered this school.
Huh? Of course he'd take rests
when rain or snow falls, right? - He doesn't rest.
Why do you know that? - If it's Shirao-kun, then he'll never rest!
Well, it's thanks to Shirao-kun that our school even manages
to have a baseball club.
And if we thought about if he wasn't in the team,
the other guys are...
What kind of club are you!
The baseball club. - Hey!
Is baseball just a sport where
you stare mindlessly at which direction the ball is going?
Where's the fun in that!
What's that thing in your hands, what's that!
If you can't use it then just take the thing off!
...Jeez, if this continues,
I'll end up writing a slanderous article that says "weak"
about a weak high school.
Then isn't it better if you don't write it at all?
There's no way I could do that, you know?
I already decided that I'd write a report on Jotoku's baseball club.
If you just decide these things on your own it'll trouble us.
Manager, don't you have something?
Something like "Aiming for the Best 8" I want a kind of objective like that.
Then please write "Aiming for Koshien".
Yes! I want a bluff as big as that.
No way, I can't imagine "Koshien".
Then... - Then please imagine it.
You know, even you people tell me to imagine things
that objective is too far.
Please stop it! - Hey, wait up!
Ebato-san!
Okadome-san is keeps insisting on bat slapping our asses!
If you say baseball, then it's a bat slap to the ass.
This is anachronism.
Akaiwa, let's play catch.
Uh... Ebato-san?
He's clearly ignoring to help his juniors.
Nope, ever since Okadome joined us he's been kind of weird.
I want some kind of drama, like all the members having a feud.
What are you excited about?
Hey, you guys, what are you doing there!
Hey, doesn't playing catch mean you catch the ball?
You're lacking determination, determination to catch!

Tamo-sensei? - That's right, Masumoto-sensei.
In other words, these are objectives we can imagine.
I don't even know what you're saying.
you usurped my post as the baseball manager.
That sounds scandalous, that was a change of posts.
Change of posts?
Masumoto-sensei, you've been promoted to the rank of director, you know?
Huh? To director?
Congratulations.
- Congratulations.
Ah, ah... Thanks, so that's what it is.
Before I knew it, I'm director...
I didn't know, I'm sorry. - Don't worry about it.
So, what does the director do?
A mere manager like me has no idea.
I see... Well, do excuse me.
[Name: Shirao Tsuyoshi 1st Choice: Major Leaguer]
I'm serious!
I've quit on studying from this term so I can focus on baseball.
That's quite some resolution you have, to not study while attending
Japan's best preparatory school.
You don't really have to quit though, someone like you should be able to do both.
Maybe... But, if I can't do that then,
I don't want to say excuses like "it's because I was studying".
But, speaking of the possibilities, can't we even say that
Jotoku, that's closest to ToDai is the furthest from the major league?
That's not entirely true.
The scout men don't look at schools, they look at the players.
But scout men coming to this school...
Then it'll be fine if we just have a game with schools
that scout men are observing - In other words, even if we lose the game,
as long as the scout men's eyes are stuck on you,
you'll get closer to your objective?
Isn't that way of thinking not fit for team sports?
I don't wanna be told that from a show-off like you.
Kamezawa, you wanted to stand out? - Your presence barely exists in comparison though.
Well, well... If you ask me these questions suddenly, it'll trouble me.
I'll be glad to explain it from start to end. - You're fussy, don't stand without permission, sit down.
Shirao, what I want to say is,
saying that your objective will come true if you just fight against a champion school is an excuse,
but aren't you completely fixated on Koshien?
Koshien? - Our school?
That's impossible. - No, no... No way!
No!
I'll still go to Koshien!
Oh, Kimiyasu-kun still hasn't returned home?
That's right, they said he returned to the baseball club,
so I thought that he'd return home with that same energy.
Yeah, well, that has no relation to the baseball club.
Even after becoming a high school student, he left home...
Ah.
After all, what he needs in these times is...
is... a mother, maybe? Kaede-san!
Speaking of the baseball club, I wonder if Aoshi-kun is managing well.
Who's Aoshi?
Like I said, Tamo-sensei.
If my judgement isn't wrong, I'm sure that
he'll be able to make a revolution in Jotoku's baseball club.
A revolution... On what basis?
My intuition. - Ah...
So, manager, you're telling us not to do muscle training?
... Which is not what I said.
However, if we think about how we can only use the grounds once a week,
it's better if you do some similar and useful training on other days.
But, these guys still need a lot more physical strength.
Because Akaiwa still can't even do a chin-up until now.
Well, if you're gonna say that, Ebato can only do 5 sit-ups...
Just wait, then, Kashiyama can't...
Enough! Instead what you can't do, tell me what you can do.
I'm sorry.
Anyway, while we have an overwhelming difference in practice time than other schools,
it's inefficient for everyone to do the same training.
That's why, I believe that it's good if we practice
according to each of our positions. - Oh, that's true.
And also, I want to confirm this so, tell me what your positions are.
Okay, Ushimaru. - I'm either
the left or centre or sometimes the second.
And Kashiyama? - I'm either
the right or the first or the catcher.
Oh... You guys really have a lot of variety.
That's because I decide at every game.
I idealize it depending on the member's physical and mental points.
Shirao, sorry about the other day's game.
I couldn't catch most of the pitches you threw.
Ebato, what about you?
Yes, I'm usually the first.
And the captain.
What, ignoring me?
Shirao decided captain too?
I decided it.
I wanted to devote myself as a player, and at that time Akaiwa wasn't there.
There wasn't anyone else.
Okay... Got it!
Let's decide after narrowing down the positions.
I said, we can't narrow it down.
None of these guys can find even one place
that they think they excel at.
What's wrong? Kashiyama.
It's alright, if you have
any objections to your seniors, don't hold back and tell us.
Huh? No, well, it's just that it's almost time for me to study so
I'm going home. - Is it time for cram school?
No, it's my own time schedule that I established myself.
I see, study well. - Thank you.
This isn't good at all, if we stay like this.
It's like they're just aimlessly doing everything Shirao said.
They have no individuality. - That's right.
Say, how about when Aoshi-kun was in high school?
Huh? Ah, guess I did it aimlessly too.
But... But, I wonder why?
When it comes to studies, they come up with different things but,
it's like when it's time for baseball,
they just follow the theories.
But theory is important, right? - Normally, it's important.
But if it's for what's below average,
then average things are useless.
Then, you have to find Jotoku's original theory.
And that's the key, right? - No.
This is a map of the town.
As I thought, you cant see
that rooftop from this shop, no matter what.
What are you talking about, Aoshi-kun.
Do you mind? Because I,
am putting an investment in you. I'm even lending you an apartment.
But I'm paying the rent, as I should be.
Just don't let me down.
Hm...
Okay...
[Yomiiru Sports Big impact at Narita!! Temporarily back in Japan Traveled to America as a coach 5 years since retirement Yachida Kentarou]
This isn't a place that you should be in.
Any articles that interest you?
Yachida Kentarou.
The man that took baseball away from you. - What are you saying.
After an accident,
he's abstaining from his athletic career.
Oh, but look!
And thus, he returned as a coach!
And what about it? - Isn't this like a drama?
The two that once left baseball
will meet once again on the grounds.
You know, that guy is going to be coaching pros.
"He is currently serving as a special coach for his alma mater Doutou Academy".
At Dougaku?
That's exactly what's written.
Yes! That's the face I wanted to see.
Looks like it'll be a hot summer.
Did you decide the positions?
Not at all, I can't decide anything except you as the third.
I think it'll be trouble, I'm troubled with that each time too.
Then, maybe I should decide without troubling over it.
Manager, how long will you be here? - Is it bad to be here?
No... Well I don't mind.
Why are you doing that up there?
It's to train my balance.
Today's practice will serve as important data to make
a decision on your positions.
Work yourself to the death as if it were the Centre Tests!
Yes, sir!
[Throws with stability With some stability Not stable]
[Throws with stability: Akaiwa]
[With some stability: Ebato, Kamezawa Kashiyama, Mitsuyasu]
[Not stable: Okadome, Uchimaru Shikata, Iseda]
Damn it!
Well, if we split it up it'll be something like this.
That's great, you're stable. - Ye... Yeah.
So...
I'll announce the positions.
Pitcher, infield, outfield. Okay, done.
What's with that? That rough idea. - Seriously.
I've only been told "infield" so I don't know
where I'm supposed to defend. - No... You guys are still fine.
I'm "not stable" you know!
Now it's clear.
That the "even if we're weak, we can win" the manager says is just talk.
No, you're just jumping to conclusions. - He's right.
Says the person who was picked as pitcher!
No, what's up with that?
You'll see it if you think about it calmly.
It's because the manager is planning to be in this school for only 1 year.
"It'll be amusing to spend my time here by playing around
with the students' youth" He probably thinks that.
Shikata, the rare times you seem to speak are only in such an unpleasant way.
You're gross!
Ebato!
As the captain, don't you think you should say something to the manager.
No... That...
Don't order me around.
I wasn't really ordering you around.
Leave it to me!
I'll tell the manager.
How's this year's team? Manager.
I only know how this year is, so I can't compare to the others.
So, compare it to when you were in high school.
Ah...
I wonder...
Because as the manager,
I wasn't able to give you guys good memories.
Ah, no, I don't have any complaints with sensei...
Well, if I had complaints,
it'd be all about myself.
About yourself? - Well, when I look at them now,
I notice my own mistakes from that time.
If you notice theirs, then tell them.
That's your duty as their senior.
It's true that the only position I specifically designated was the pitcher.
That's why I want you guys to nominate yourselves for other positions.
So, it's fine for us to choose by ourselves? - Sure.
Then, I'll be the pitcher. - Follow what I wrote.
Come on!
Just keep saying it freely, there's a position you want, right?
What if there were a position but I'm not sure
if I'm fit for it in the end.
Right, so after all,
it's better to let Shirao pick since he's most familiar with baseball...
We'll do that, and then you guys will
label yourselves like
"I'm the right" or "I'm the left" again?
Ah... It's like,
whenever I talk to you guys
you keep speaking about yourselves "passively",
not one person speaks with "emphasis"!
Well, what I want to hear from you guys isn't "passivity"
but "emphasis".
Um, but isn't that how it is?
"I'm... the right".
"I am the right!".
How's that, isn't it totally different. - I feel like it's just the way you say...
No, that's not what it is. In the "passive" way,
there's some kind of nuance of it being unrelated to you.
It's kind of like "Somehow, it seems like I'm the right", no?
But, the moment that you change it into the "emphasized" way,
it has an aggressive feeling of a label
that pushes everyone else aside.
Like "I am the right!".
It's the way you're saying it, right? - It's fine even if that's the case
but it makes you want to say it that way when it's "emphasized" and not "passive".
Which means...
It has the power to make you feel that way.
That's why I want you guys to stop speaking "passively"
and speak with "emphasis" from now on.
Always think of yourself as the lead part.
It's good to say "I am, I will" in baseball.
Then, I will
be the left. - Alright.
Then, I will be the first, I can touch the ball the most
within those in the infield. - That's good.
Then I will, ah...
I will... Ah, that's wrong.
I will be the catcher.
Because I think I could catch Akaiwa's slow pitches if I practice.
Alright.
Wait... The catcher is the vital point of a team.
Not only do you not know much about baseball, it won't work out unless you can throw strongly.
Where does that exist in our team?
Well, it doesn't but, But just not Ebato...
Plus, what you're saying now, is the theory of average baseball.
That's useless here, for the below average Jotoku.
Isn't that... Isn't that why
we're trying to get a little closer to that "average".
If you give up like this from the very start,
then these guys will be below average forever!
Stop, Shirao-kun.
Is there something wrong with staying below average?
What?
We can't force ourselves to become average.
Forget it...
You've really given up.
Shirao-kun!
Wait, Shirao-kun!
Riko-san.
I heard that the announced positions would be to aim for Koshien and rushed here but...
It had a terrible result, right.
It's not too late to start now.
With your skills,
it's enough for you to gain a regular position at Dougaku.
Dougaku?
The genius batter Shirao Tsuyoshi has finally abandoned Jotoku
and transferred to the champions' Dougaku.
Jotoku uses that humiliation as power to train much harder
to meet with Dougaku once again,
and inflict their punishment on you, the traitor.
Please stop your weird delusions.
I've done my research!
In middle school, you were scouted by Dougaku.
But you rejected that
and for some reason, picked the weakling school of Jotoku.
For someone like you that desired to be a professional, it's a strange choice.
Even if you say "it's strange"... - Hey, if you'd like to tell me...
I'm in the middle of practice. - What?
Ah, hey, wait! Shirao-kun!
You've been rejected!
Huh? What d'you say?
Mitsuyasu, let's go!
Kashiyama!
Ebato!
Okadome!
Damn it!
Futile...
Manager?
Why?
Why don't you catch it?
Why am I getting tired? What kind of practice is this!
Isn't there even one of you that thinks that
the manager looks pathetic?
You cruel kids!
What are they doing.
Manager... A little word?
Were you bullied by Okadome?
I heard it from Ushimaru.
He was your junior in middle school, right? - Yeah.
And, what happened? Is it true?
It was only in middle school but yeah, it's true.
I think that it wasn't
too serious to be considered as bullying but
it was a situation where I was like his follower.
Give up, give up, give up...
Compared to now, I was more...
Ah, it's just as sensei says,
it's because my personality didn't let me speak with "emphasis".
I gave the opportunity to take advantage of me, it's my own fault.
Why are you repenting.
No, but, that's how I feel each time I re-think it.
It's fine if you don't re-think it. - That's impossible.
You're...
troublesome.
Well, that's why it was correct for you to choose to be the catcher.
Over there, the balls will keep flying at you
so you don't have time to re-think. - I see.
And also, Ebato, you, don't repent anything from now on.
Huh, don't repent!? - Is it that surprising?
Excuse me.
Because up until now, in whatever I did, I'd start it by repenting.
Don't repent right after I told you that.
Ah, excuse me... No.
I'm not repenting, yeah. I won't repent anymore.
Anyway, I'll do something about Okadome so
don't worry about him, don't repent, and be at ease.
I understand.
And that's why, Okadome, quit the club.
I have to quit? - That's right.
Since you just joined, your wounds are still shallow.
You're way too free! But you're the manager that made me quit the athletics club!
Well, well... Calm down Okadome. - Manager, I don't think
it'll be solved properly if you make Okadome quit.
Because, look, they'll meet at school for sure.
It's fine if he quits, bullying is disgusting.
And like, you're always way too close, it's so gross, go away!
Ah, sorry. - And that's a splendid example of bullying!
Ah, then just let's do this.
Okadome, don't get close to Ebato for a while.
The other guys too, don't keep off guard.
If the two of them might get too close, be sure to separate them.
Got it? - Yes, sir.
How long is "for a while"?
That depends on you.
Until Ebato isn't scared of you anymore.
Scouted by Dougaku? - But Shirao-kun rejected them.
That's the first time I've heard that. - But, look,
the Ashigara Middle High that Shirao-kun went to was always strong in baseball.
Yeah, well, with Shirao's skills it wouldn't be a strange story.
Well, why did he reject them?
to go to Koshien, to be in the major league, Dougaku's a shorter way.
Meaning, even if it was a detour, he wanted to enter Jotoku.
Here you go. - Woah.
I can't see the curry now.
It's clear that you've been malnourished ever since you ran away from home.
Then, what's the reason for his detour?
A reason, you say...
Isn't it because he's liked detours since before.
Since before?
Ah, I know! - What?
Well, actually, since middle school
I knew a little about Shirao-kun.
Because every morning, he'd come running until around here.
Huh? Shirao came until here!? - Isn't it amazing!
It's 20 km on a one way trip from Ashigara Middle High, you know?
A full marathon every morning. - That's great.
he wanted to enter Jotoku at all costs.
That goes for you too, Yuzuko.
But Akaiwa-kun said he'd enter too, right.
It's not "right", it has nothing to do with you.
It totally does. - Huh?
Right?
Thank you for your kindness during the game the other day.
You must be tired, working long hours.
I don't really get tired though.
Well then, it's about Shirao...
Yes, it's a fact that Shirao-kun was scouted.
Why did he refuse?
Surely, because he wanted to go to Jotoku.
I wonder why that is though.
I don't know about that.
But, he said this clearly.
That he'd enter Jotoku's baseball club,
defeat Dougaku and go to Koshien.
No, it's not something to laugh about. Didn't you laugh as well.
Excuse me, sorry to bother you.
Halt! Good day, sir!
Good day!
When I hear the sound of a metal bat, I remember it all vividly.
What?
My own high school days.
Oh.
I'm Doutou Academy's special coach,
Yachida Kentarou.
I'm Jotoku High's baseball club manager,
Tamo Aoshi.
Jotoku...
I would have never thought that you'd still be on these grounds.
This isn't a place that you should be in.
Maybe my advice to you was wrong.
No.
I don't want to keep being influenced anymore.
Because...
I decided to not repent that game anymore.
In other words, since that time, you haven't changed at all.
The time you didn't let me play
baseball. - No.
Isn't that a difference in opinions?
Because I intended to play baseball.
Wanna catch it? - No, no, don't force yourself.
You broke your shoulder, right?
This, is my kind of baseball.
No, putting... Putting all your power into it and that much backlash pain...
No, that's definitely weird, because, I'm barehanded here...
No... A lot of things are weird
with your kind of baseball.
Ah, sensei.
Oh, where you going? - Shirao-kun didn't come to practice today either.
I think that he's probably practicing by himself on that rooftop again.
Can't be helped, huh, I'll go see him.
No, no, I'm going too. - Ah, it's better if you don't come.
Huh, why is that?
Since he was so insistent in having me return to the baseball club,
I won't settle down until I give him a word.
Tell him later! - I'll tell him now!
Just do whatever you want.
Then, I'm going too...! - Ah, absolutely not!
You.. You definitely shouldn't come.
Hey... What's with that.
Shirao.
Hey, how come you... - Shirao,
you like Yuzuko, don't you? - What?
I like her. - What!?
Since middle school? - That's right.
You even rejected Dougaku to enter Jotoku, for Yuzuko...
That's right.
The first time I actually talked to Tarumi was
in the spring of my 2nd year,
it was during the game between Jotoku and Dougaku.
Hi.
I've been watching them ever since was a kid, but they never won even once.
Or more like, they never went until the 9th inning.
But you still support Jotoku?
Yeah, it's like, I've come this far so I started to like them.
Even just once is fine, I want to see them win.
Dougaku is strong.
True.
If they end up winning, then they might go to Koshien.
Yeah... Maybe.
It'll be so awesome if that happens.
We were just talking and she made such a face so,
if we really go to Koshien, I wonder what kind of smile she'll make...
I...
I want to see Tarumi's smile at that time.
Hey, just wait a little.
We don't really need to go to Koshien,
she always smiles at the stupidest things.
Yeah, in front of you. - No, in front of everyone...
Tarumi likes you!
That's fine.
You're a good guy, and it's not like I'm bitter towards you.
That's why, how can I...
My feelings aren't like that.
Then, why are you here practicing by yourself.
You can't go to Koshien by yourself.
Even if I go back to the baseball club now,
I can't accept the manager's methods. - Shirao.
I didn't come to Jotoku to see Tarumi's sad face.
Well, alright alright...
I don't really understand your feelings but
I really do believe that "even if we're weak, we can win".
Then I want you to use methods that show that.
I am.
I really am.
That's why I told you not to come. -Ah, yes...
I'm sorry.
But, well, the conversation turned out simpler.
What's left is for Yuzuko to talk to Shirao...
Ah!!! - What?
Hey, what is it...
Dad!
Kimiyasu, ah.
Ah, welcome back Aoshi-kun. - I'm back.
What are you doing, come back home this instant!
You know why I won't come back home, right?
Nope, I have no idea at all. Tell me.
This is my childhood friend's mother!
It's the lady I've known since I was a kid!
Yeah, yeah... That's it.
I don't care how many times you marry or how many times my mother will change!
I already gave up on that!
But at least, when you pick her, take the kids into consideration!
That's right, I don't want to become siblings with Akaiwa-kun.
We can't date then.
Don't butt into this, it'll get complicated!
It's fine, because it won't turn out that way.
Huh? It won't?
Why is everyone here so straightforward!
There's other people, right?
Someone that makes you secretly feel like
"I'm happy enough just seeing your smile".
Quit it, I'm not young anymore.
I don't like those "secret feelings" either. - Don't hate it!
Bring it.
It doesn't look like Shirao-kun is coming back soon,
any secret plans to fill up the gap?
I'd like you to tell me, if you have one.
Hey! Do you have any motivation to be in an article?
Ah, look, it went, it went!
Ah, jeez! I get it!
What was that? Just now.
Shirao. - Shirao-kun!
Shirao-san!
So you finally felt like coming back.
It would've been much more exciting if you went to Dougaku.
I'm coming back.
That's great. - That's great.
However!
In exchange for my return, Tamo-sensei...
Will you resign from manager?
Shirao-kun? - What are you saying!
To me, the summer tournament is my last chance.
This time, I seriously want to win.
Yeah, but, the manager...
Please resign, manager.
Then I'll resign.
Wait... Manager. - Aoshi-kun.
There's not enough drama!
I heard it all.
Who? - Ugh, Masumoto.
Ah, ex-manager. -I'm the director!
Yeah, well, since it's come to this, I'm willing to come back to the field.
No way!
Tarumi...
That's right, ex-manager Masumoto is still...
However,
There's one condition to make me to resign.
If you can prove
that my methods are wrong.
That's fine! I'll prove it.
Alright.
Yes, yes, this is exactly what I wanted.
The rules are simple, a 3 ball game.
If Shirao breaks through this defense I created,
and hit a home run, it's my loss. - Please wait a minute.
Then, simply put, it's a game between Shirao and I.
It's fine, inside-the-parkers exist too.
What!?
Then it's easy.
If I get rid of the outfielders with a grounder, I can make the whole round!
Manager! - What is it, Iseda!
I'll say it in advance.
Even if it flies to me, I can't catch it.
Are you saying that
you don't want the ball to fly to you?
That's right. - Why are speaking so optimistically?
You should defend as if you wanted it to "come" there!
It's fine if you don't want it. - Huh? It's fine?
There's no difference in the strong feelings of "come" and "don't come", it's equal!
That's why, if you don't want the ball to come, from the bottom of your heart,
you should yell "don't come!", with all your heart!
That means you're challenging the game on your own.
I see... - You're kidding?
Don't come!
Don't come! Don't come!
Don't come here!
Don't you come here!
Don't come. - Don't come.
Don't dare come here! - Don't come here.
Don't come! Don't come, don't come! - Don't come! Don't come!
Don't come all the way here! - I really hate this! Don't come!
Don't come!
Now, go! Akaiwa.
Don't let the manager resign!
Take it easy, we have replacements
Don't you dare...
Come here!
Oh!
So suddenly?
Foul! Two more balls!
Next! - Yeah!
Manager!! - What is it, Kashiyama!
I can't, as I thought, I can't catch it!
You're speaking "passively" again. - Ah...
It's "I"! I will catch it!
No, I will catch it!
It's good to say "I am, I will"" in baseball.
Always think of yourself as the lead part.
You can only say these things now.
Because if you say it when you become an adult, you'll be disliked.
You can only say "I am, I will", now.
I will catch it! I will definitely catch it!
No! I will catch it! - I will catch it!
I will catch it! - I will!
I will! - Oh... I will, I...
I will catch it! - Akaiwa!
If you don't throw it, then I will.
I will throw it!
I will!
He won't run?
Do... Don't mind! Okadome!
Don't mind! Okadome!
Don't mind!
- Don't mind Okadome-san!
Don't mind! - Don't mind, don't mind...!
Don't mind!
He's announcing a home run?
Shirao-kun! Are you seriously trying to make the manager resign!?
Akaiwa-kun! You better not let him hit it!
Well, that's, I... - Bring it! Akaiwa!
I will
throw it!
Ah, he really hit it...
So, we can't complaint.
Shirao, it's your win.
Yes, sir.
Um, but, after all, Tamo-sensei suffering for this is...
Please don't resign, manager. - You better not resign!
That's right! Now my articles won't...
Then, what exactly was that game just now?
Well, that's true but...
Then it's better if I quit.
Because I'm the only one who's unsatisfied with the manager.
I am, I will!
What's up, so suddenly.
You can't, Shirao! Don't quit!
Huh?
Hey, Shirao,
listen to what Ebato tells you.
Why?
Isn't it obvious, it's because this guy is our captain!
Yeah, that's right! I am the captain!
And this captain is telling you to not quit!
Jeez, whichever is fine.
We can finally use the grounds, and this is a waste of time.
Alright. - Yeah!
Hey! - Alright!
Did we get a little closer to Koshien?
You owe me one. - What?
Isn't it fine?
[Don't put "passive" feelings in a game, but "emphasized" feelings.] - I will, I will! - I will!
I will catch it! - I will, I will!
Let's go! - Bring it!
Third! - Bring it!
Don't mind!
Again, once more! - Shikata!
