After all, I'm going to quit school.
Did you to move forward? After you threw away what you loved.
If I answer that,
I won't know how to connect with Kamezawa anymore.
I decided from the start.
It's something decided since long before.
Today, I've submitted my request to drop out.
There's no more newspaper boy so,
I thought that you guys wouldn't come anymore.
Well, I still want to sleep but, my eyes just open on their own.
It's already a habit.
How can he stick such an annoying habit on us, Kamezawa.
Hey, like I said, you guys practice swinging down there.
It's a habit, a habit.
1, 2. 1, 2.
Pass it behind you.
Even if you leave this seat open, Kamezawa won't come back.
Fill up to the front.
No, that seat is a retired seat.
What are you saying.
This is inconvenient when we pass the printouts, advance to the front.
Manager! - Then, what?
If you guys don't leave this seat open like this,
you're going to forget about Kamezawa?
Fill it up.
It's kind of strangely quiet.
Aaaah!
What is it? Shikata. - After all, I can't do this!
To always be a regular from now on.
Then, you liked being an eternal substitute better?
I did!
I want to be in a comfortable position as much as possible,
and I want to concentrate on just looking at Tarumi-san.
You should concentrate on baseball!
Shikata! Show the guts of the scout team.
With Kamezawa gone, it's just the 2 of us now.
I don't feel the same for you.
What? You shithead. - Hey, stop, stop, stop!
Stop!
Anyway, just be quiet.
This is just bringing us back in a relapse.
Right, captain?
Ah... That's right.
Ummm...
It's true that we lost Kamezawa but
I'm sure that he's alive inside of everyone's hearts.
If you say it like that, isn't it like Kamezawa died?
Sorry.
For now, raise your voices, your voices!
Oh! Don't be late!
Bring it, longhair!
When someone that was always here as if it were so natural
would suddenly disappear...
It feels like a part of your own body is missing
and somehow you become instable.
Even me, when my husband passed away,
I couldn't stand in the shop for a while.
Ah, well then I'm the same as Ebato-kun.
I can't compare him to someone that passed away.
But, I guess it means that people you're used to seeing
are also included in the sceneries you're used to seeing.
Right.
Including Aoshi-kun sitting there,
this is my Southern Window.
And so, this week's Friday is the founding anniversary of the school.
We'll use these 3 consecutive holidays and have a training camp.
Camp, huh. -Very club-like!
Saying such a thing so suddenly, I have a strict time schedule...
Forget about it for 3 days. - Impossible.
Are our rooms private? I can't sleep unless I'm alone.
What, how weak of you. - I'm different from a runaway like you.
Listen, I'm a man that loves solitude too.
I don't even want to spend 3 days with you guys.
It's obvious that you won't go on a trip with people you want to stay on good terms with.
However, what creates strong bonds is also a trip.
For the upcoming preliminary summer tournament and to fight until the end with these members,
I want you to participate and not run away from this annoying event.
I want you to become a baseball club that's strong all together and can go through a strong collision!
Yes, sir.
I can't hear you! - Yes, sir!

[New Serial Story 1st Chapter "Even if we're weak, we won!"]
[Manager Tamo's past]
[After the game, Tamo, who experienced a setback, quit Jotoku's baseball club during the spring of his 2nd year.]
Did you read Riko-san's serial story?
I read it. - How can it be, that manager...
Had a cold lost against Dougaku after a bunch of errors.
The same as us.
And, if this article is true, our biggest cause for losing is...
Don't say it, Kashiyama! - Yeah.
It's the manager.
We're mostly losing because of the manager.
It totally feels like "Manager VS Doutou Academy".
Nevertheless, how's the manager's attitude right now
towards people related to Dougaku?
We don't have any strange baseball here like you'd imagine.
We'll know right away which one of us is strange.
But, listen! Even though he sucks, the manager...
What a strong person. - What?
You don't even feel an atom in him that draws back because of his awful defeat.
No, rather, he's like a winner.
The manager's probably teaching us from his own experiences.
Winning doesn't make you amazing, losing doesn't make you hopeless.
Th... That's it! - Yeah!
It's clear with this, Akaiwa. - Yeah.
Dougaku was an opponent that not only we will have revenge on, but for that the manager will too.
Well, so that's what it was. I didn't know.
Huh! Surprising!
Dougaku is an existence that we can't just pass and avoid if we go to Koshien.
We'll win the next one! For the manager too!
Oh!
We'll win! - Oh!
We don't even have the budget to do a camp.
It's not like I'm telling you that we'll stay in a high class hotel.
In the first place, next week is too sudden.
In that case, isn't it the director's duty to try and work something out?
In that case, isn't it fine if we stay inside the school.
That's no good. There's no meaning unless we get away from here.
Manager... Could it be...
That you're using the club budget for a trip?
What?
Wait...
If you are, then I can cooperate somehow.
Impossible for the members but if it's only us under the pretense of a training tour...
What?
Are we going on a trip together?
Once we arrive, we'll go separate... - I don't want to.
I don't want to hate you any more than I already do.
You hated me?
[1900 Hardball Baseball Club Members that had their 1st game with Doutou Academy]
Ohh, this is a photo from the very first game.
Yeah, it's from around 100 years earlier.
Is it a tradition that started not long after the two schools were founded?
Exactly.
Our school was founded in 1880.
Doutou Academy was...
In 1900.
Meaning, Jotoku is older by 20 years.
Well yes, and?
Jotoku is older by 20 years, right?
Well... Well yeah,
Doutou Academy does have their personal training camp grounds but...
I believe that they will listen to their senior's request.
That's nonsense.
There's no way they'd lend it to other schools!
Well, it might be nonsense but, please try to request it from them!
As a senior!
Se... Senior...
Jeez...
You should show more respect to seniors too.
Listen, the place has been decided.
The place is at Doutou Academy's personal training camp grounds.
What! Dougaku's!?
You react fast, Mitsuyasu-kun.
Well, thanks to him, I didn't feel surprised.
I'm sorry...
We're going to be in Dougaku's debt.
What are you saying.
Our school has more than a 100 year relation with Dougaku, you know?
Don't say such distant things.
That's what you call lending something...
Um, will Dougaku's club members be at the training camp grounds too?
No, they don't plan to.
Manager!
As I thought, please let me do different activities than everyone else.
Well if you do that then there's no meaning for a training camp.
So I'll be with Tarumi-san for 72 hours, it's a game of endurance.
You don't need to come, jeez! Do a training camp at home by yourself!
I wonder if Riko-san will come for interviews.
There's no way I'd let go of such material.
Since when were you here?
Alright !Then, let's not feel hesitant at Dougaku's training camp grounds,
let's repeat our collisions and conciliations! - Oh!
A baseball club that's strong together. - Oh!
Don't worry, Dougaku's club members aren't there.
I wonder.
Isn't it fine if they find out?
But, it's still awkward.
If it turns out kind of weird, I'll cover up for you.
Okay, thanks.
To even own such a facility,
of course a school on a nation-wide level is different than us.
Ah!
It's Dougaku's demon manager.
Ah, the demon! - He's coming here. - Demon! Demon!
Shh, he can hear you!
So you've finally appeared at such a time.
Thank you for taking your time to greet us.
So, Dougaku is having their training camp here too?
Reluctantly. It's impossible for us to only let another school use it.
Um, may you guide us to our rooms soon?
Tsk, acting full of yourself.
We'll carry our luggages by ourselves.
Of course you will!
Exactly how much burden are you planning to put on us.
May I understand that as you demanding gratitude?
Well, you don't even at least feel like displaying your gratitude.
So Dougaku is here after all.
Huh, we're all in the same room?
It's usually like this. - Give it up.
I definitely won't sleep.
Hey, Ushimaru!
The spots are picked from the 3rd years first.
I can't calm down unless I'm in a place where I can see everyone.
What, you can't do that. - Yeah. - Pack up!
Come on, change quickly and let's go practice!
The other day, when I read the article that Riko-san wrote,
it left a big impression on me like,
ah, this person really has an amazing love
for Jotoku's baseball club.
Thank you.
But even so,
I didn't hear that we'd share a room!
Please come here after you've booked a hotel yourself!
But, they didn't give me any interview budget at all.
I understand, but still!
What!?
Hey, are you using that kind of sunscreen?
Is that bad? - It is bad!
As the club manager, you're outdoors for a long time,
so you have to use one like this.
Ah, I know that! It's a super expensive product, right?
As a lodging expense, I'll give it to you.
Really?
Thank you.
How simple.
Done already?
Those who can't put up with demon-level fungo should go home!
How many times do I have to say it!
If we're just pushed to the corners,
nothing changes from how we do it at school!
Well, we're in a situation where they're letting us rent a space.
That looks pretty intense.
What is that!
Should we bring in a substitute? There are so many other people to replace you!
Dreadful. - It is dreadful.
They're all holding something.
There's sand packed inside the water bottle.
Alright, rest for a minute and dash down the stairs 1 more time!
Yes, sir!
Isn't there like one energetic guy?
He's 3rd year Yoshinaga Touichirou.
He's Dougaku's ace, and 4th in line.
Yoshinaga Touichirou.
Huh? Was that guy there during our game?
He was on the bench due to an injury.
Right?
Hey, he's coming here.
It's because you keep staring... Look away, hurry.
Yuuta.
Hey, Yuuta.
Who's Yuuta? Anyone of you just answer him.
Hey.
Huh, Mitsuyasu-kun?
Huh?
Your older brother came to greet you, hurry up and answer.
Sorry.
Okay, it's time! Everyone get up!
Yes, sir!
Get ready now!
Yes, sir!
Huh, older brother?
Yes, my older brother.
Come on, get down already! - Yes, sir!
Start! - Yes, sir!
If you told us earlier,
we could have even gotten information on Dougaku from you.
We could have even used you to poison Dougaku's ace.
Yeah, that!
Poison is a metaphor.
No, it's impossible.
Because I haven't lived with my older brother since our parents divorced.
So that's why your family names are different.
That's what it is.
What's the reason for you not being able to tell us?
It's because right after I joined,
I heard that Akaiwa-san quit because of Dougaku.
After that too, Akaiwa-san was made into a fool by their members,
then to all of my seniors Dougaku became the enemy real quickly...
So everything's my fault.
How stupid, just for that.
No, but, I understand, you thought that you'd get bullied for it.
I won't bully him!
Well, I didn't say it was Okadome.
In other words, you're being careful towards me,
who was once defeated by Dougaku.
Huh?
No, that's...
That's it. Mitsuyasu is that kind of guy!
I'm not!
You said you'd cover me, but you're not at all.
Nonsense!
If if were a regret that we could get rid of by going so far as to even harass you,
you think we'd play baseball!?
Ah, that's right! - He's right.
Baseball's so complicated. - So troublesome.
Don't make fun of us, Mitsuyasu! - He's looking down on us.
Don't push it too far, idiot.
I'm sorry.
Come on, don't stop your hands. Hurry and make the onigiri.
I'm hungry!
Is there a use for a team that has no turn to attack to be practicing swinging?
Our team plays an offensive baseball more than anyone.
Stop, it saddens me.
What did you think after seeing our practice?
Truth is, it's where you're supposed to be.
There's no right or wrong with where I am now.
There is!
You're either my team mate or a rival school's 4th in line.
That's the real you!
That was decided long ago, since we were in middle school.
Don't decide it on your own. - I wanted to have a game against you.
Stop speaking in past tense. It all starts from this summer's tournament.
What guarantee is there for us to get the first game together?
Not the first game but if we both win, then sooner or later...
Say that to me once you've become a team that can win.
We can win.
No... We're trying to win.
Yeah, with all we've got!
Just quit trying to look down on me.
Hey Yuta,
did I even once say to your face that I ever wanted to go to TouDai?
Huh...
What would you think if I said that?
What would you do if guys like us who only play baseball
from day to night would say that?!
Listen, don't take your eyes off the shuttle.
Start! - Yes, sir!
Hey! If that's what your limit is, then stop playing baseball!
Go home now!
Scary.
That makes you want to go home instead.
Tsk. What is this sympathy!
Hey, you guys aren't raising your voices again!
Hey, we're getting late!
Raise your voices, your voices! - Hey, your voices!
Not only your voices, move your bodies, your bodies!
Woaaaah! - Goooo!
Alright!
I went and checked around earlier but
there's no stores around here. - It's because we're in the mountains.
Ah, I saw a little bright place down the path in front.
Huh? Where, where? Ah, so, should we go scout it out?
Guide me, journalist!
There's quite the echo in this room.
Eat well. - Yes, sir.
Bring your bats and gather up in front of the entrance in 10 minutes.
Yes, sir.
When you're done eating, it's your free time.
Prepare yourselves for tomorrow and rest well. - Yes, sir.
Hey, everyone, listen to me.
I have something to talk about.
Is it okay if we stay like this?
Swing more powerfully!
You have to imagine that you're hitting a fast pitch!
Yes, sir!
Hey, after all, let's stop, we have to be up early tomorrow too.
Dougaku has it the same.
Let's swing at least one time more than Dougaku.
Wait, because, today's practice menu is already...
Alright, let's go! - Yes, sir.
Raise your voices! - Yes, sir!
1, 2.
So even Jotoku's manager practices her swings?
1, 2. 1, 2.
1, 2.
Hey! Why are you stopping on your own.
Keep going! - Yes, sir!
What's up with that, are they planning to practice all night?
Monsters!
It's like perpetual motion.
What are you guys going?
Well, I still don't really feel like getting into a bath.
What I hate the most in this world is a naked man.
I'll get in later.
What are you guys doing after coming this far!?
Take it off already!
Take if off! - No, stop, aaaah!
No, no, no!
I wonder if we can really win even though they're like that.
Hey, you're having those doubts now?
Like, look, what we're trying to do is
to win even though it looks like we can't win, right?
But isn't that futile?
What? - Akaiwa,
is that what you believed?
Shirao.
That's not what I believed but...
Hey, is it only me that thinks this?
Shikata!
Your scrubbing and scrubbing is so noisy.
Sorry.
My older brother said those things but
after all, I think that baseball and studies are different.
They're totally different. Because studies don't have as many unexpected aspects as baseball.
But, I feel like Dougaku's baseball has even less unexpected aspects than ours.
It feels like they're a group of people that don't rely on unexpected aspects.
Ah! Stop, just stop this conversation!
Hey! Someone wash my back.
Ebato, not you! A junior, a junior.
No, I'm leaving already. See you later.
Sorry about earlier.
I didn't mean to say those things.
It's fine.
You know, dad, he actually didn't even want me,
he wanted you to go with him.
It's obvious, it's because with my brain, I can't succeed after him as a doctor.
That's why, when I see you in such a place like this,
I wonder about what you're doing.
It's not the time for you to be playing baseball.
Sorry.
I've read it.
Tone-san will be happy.
With this I've finally understood the reason why you bite at our school.
I sense a connection but
I'm not really biting at you.
Even if you try to bite us, you can't even get a good mouthful.
Thank you for giving us a precious opportunity this time.
With you all close by, my players and I
have confidence in our baseball.
Not at all, that's how we feel too.
What do you mean?
I always thought that champion schools like Dougaku were strange,
and that weak schools like us were the normal ones.
That's rather why us, as the normal ones,
have to do strange things.
But looking at our practices, I felt at ease.
What's strange about Dougaku is just your strength and
your practices were very normal.
And then,
my determination strengthened much more.
Maybe we should do strange things
that you could never imagine.
Be at ease.
Jotoku is strange enough just as you are now.
The kind we don't see in baseball.
Thank you.
Ouch, ouch...! It hurts, jeez!
You practiced swinging so much that you ended up like this.
To win against Dougaku, this much is...
Isn't there a more team manager-like way for you to fight?
Like what?
Oh yeah, hey, did you tan?
Ah!
No way...
Okay, maintaining my status quo!
Akaiwa!
If you have no motivation then go home!
All I did was raise a question! - Just quit it!
Calm down, calm down. - Shut up!
Hey! A fight? - Akaiwa-kun!
Hey! Jeez...
Ouch! - Ouch!
What the hell are you doing!
Who cares!? It's between us! Don't get involved!
Ah, manager.
Manager.
This calls for a collision. Come on, continue.
Ah, well...
I've had enough.
And, what's the cause of this?
In short, he doesn't know how we'll win as we are.
I didn't say that we'll lose.
Ah, you didn't say it. - He did say it. - Ah, yeah, the nuance.
Manager, we can win, right? If we keep increasing our amount of practices more and more.
That's impossible, once we go back to school,
our usual days of only being able to use the grounds once a week are waiting for us.
Anyway, you guys better accept reality sooner or latter.
Go to sleep.
Jou~toku! Fight! - Oh!
Doutou! Fight! - Oh!
We're late!
Here you go.
Thank you for taking your time to make all of this.
You have to eat a lot and work real hard.
Thank you!
Excuse us!
Huh? - Takemiya High School.
Huh? - Takemiya?
Why.
Did you hear about this? - No, I didn't know.
The ones that faked their weakness.
Well, well, Manager Tamo, thank you for the other day.
Takemiya High school is having their training camp here too?
No, no, we were called for a game with Doutou Academy.
With Dougaku?
Apparently they're very cautious about our Kunitomo.
Ah, no, how... - Stand up straight, straight!
Excuse me!
He completely changes so suddenly. - From the other day...
Yes, excuse me.
Well, excuse us.
Ah.
Apparenly Manager Touge likes an opponent that makes him feel confident about themselves.
Let's go!
Excuse me. - Excuse us.
Oh, Haru-san!
We have to win here and raise the popularity of the school.
Dad!
As their sponsor.
To a good game!
Hey, what's Takemiya High School's actual skills like?
The ace, Kunitomo, can throw a good pitch.
They scored a lot of runs too.
That's because it was against us.
Oh! Is that your older brother, right? He throws a fast pitch.
Out!
Home! Home! You can make it!
Out!
It's like another world.
Can you find out the pitcher's habits?
Mitsuyasu's older brother is difficult but
I think I started to find a little of Kumitomo's habits.
Ball!
Kunitomo! What are you doing, you damn idiot!
Ball 4!
Game!
Thank you!
Don't mind!
You played great today.
I could have never even dreamed of ever being able to watch
a competition between two famous managers in such a place today.
Competition is an exaggeration... It was just a practice game.
As he said.
My players were a little overworked so they didn't even show half of their skill.
We also went with a lighter skill adjustment.
You adjusted yourselves with Dougaku as your opponent?
I wonder if Takemiya's adjustments are applied mentally rather than technically.
Especially that pitcher, Kunitomo-kun?
Kaede-san.
It may be that he's too picky about his form.
I saw that his awareness was more towards himself than the opponent.
You know that after just 1 game?
Excuse me but, you are...?
The owner of a cafe that has supported Jotoku's baseball club for years,
her name is Tarumi Kaede-san.
From the cafe?
Once Jotoku's name comes up, your persuasive power disappears right away.
What does that mean.
Manager Tamo, you've competed against both, what are your thoughts?
I thought that they're very strong.
Well, our school is unbelievably weak so
I saw Dougaku and Takemiya as extremely strong.
Very rare of you to be honest.
Simply and honestly, you have to pile up your practices.
If you do so then even Jotoku will become strong.
No, we don't feel like becoming strong.
Huh? You don't?
Well, first of all, even if our school did the same practice as Dougaku,
it's impossible that we'll become strong.
That's why, our methods towards winning are different.
There's no way to win other than practice.
Exactly, go practice.
No, Jotoku will not practice.
In a certain meaning...
Honestly, I've started to feel kind of sorry
for saying stuff like "Aim for Koshien" or "Knockdown Dougaku".
How about "Knockdown Takemiya"? - We can totally do that.
You thought so even after seeing today's game?
We can... Right, Ebato?
Ah... Yeah.
Hey, get yourself together! Because you're the captain!
What's wrong.
Let me think a little.
What!? About what!?
So you were here.
Hey, tell me,
what do you mean by "you won't practice"?
Read between the lines, it's social sciences, right?
If it's sciences, then explain it clearly.
Ebato.
Ah, Manager.
After all, you lose if you're weak.
Usually.
Takemiya is weaker than Dougaku so they lost.
But, after all, you know,
Instead of seeing a strong team keep winning,
I want to see a weak team win once.
I think that leaves a deeper impression of me.
Uh... Hey, Yuzuko.
Hm?
What?
You know, I...
Ouch, ouch...! - You're kidding! I didn't even...
Ah, sorry, not your fault. - It's not? - Um, practice swinging...
Practice swinging?
Ah, umm...
It's so cool in the evening.
Well, they are a boys school.
It's Jotoku's tradition for the captain to somehow get picked every year.
Somehow?
Although, I do want to do things properly since I have the role,
but the more that the team's motivation grew bigger,
I thought that it was unnecessary.
And, are you doing things properly?
No... I don't think I am.
I have the motivation but...
No, actually I might not have that much.
Since you said that, even for me,
if someone asks me "Do you have motivation?",
I feel like, well maybe I don't have that much.
If they reply with "So you don't?",
it's not like I don't have any, so I answer that I do.
It's vague, motivation.
It is vague.
It's like, everything that has to do with baseball is vague.
It's just like Japanese class.
Huh, Japanese class?
Because all of the other subjects have a proper process to them.
But, Japanese class doesn't...
Even if you desperately think and spit out answer,
it doesn't end up the same as the model answer.
Then you don't need to think so desperately.
What?
You know, you guys try too hard to find an answer in everything.
Whether it's in baseball, or even your role as captain.
You lose yourself terribly in if you can or can't do something,
and in the end you're stuck.
And so, that's why you say
"swing with all you've got" or "just swing".
That's right.
Because, if there's no process no matter how much you think,
isn't it faster for you to go with a feeling of "anyway" or "for now"?
I understand.
So anyway, for now...
I want to work a little more harder...
We have to drive it up a lot this week.
What's wrong? - Ah... Go ahead without me.
Yes, sir!
Huh? Bro...
Wait!
You know...
Anyway, for now. Anyway, for now.
A challenge, here?
Sorry to say this to you but,
I don't believe that Jotoku will win the preliminaries.
This is the only chance I've got.
Challenge me, Shirao.
Alright.
However, only once you've shown that you can defeat this team that can't win.
I'm 9th in line.
If even one of our players hits the ball, you can't challenge me.
I'll settle that right away so start practicing your swings.
Alright.
Go get him!
Dougaku's Yoshinaga VS Jotoku's baseball club?
Is this fine? Doing such reckless things...
I think he's an appropriate opponent to finish up this training camp.
1st, Akaiwa. Bring it!
Alright! Hit it! - Do your best!
Hit it, Akaiwa!
So fast!
You can't hit it unless you swing Akaiwa-kun!
I know!
2nd, Okadome!
Damn it!
7th, Mitsuyasu!
Do you best, Mitsuyasu!
Mitsuyasu! Be better than your older brother!
I'm studying properly so you don't need to worry.
Studies are the most important to us all,
but we also love baseball
we're giving it all we got within our extent.
So it's within your extent?
So you're saying that you're doing it half-baked!
Damn it!
That one was the fastest. - For his younger brother.
Next!
Ah, let's have a good game.
He's the last person now.
You better get ready now!
Just throw it!
8th, Ebato!
Anyway, for now.
Alright! - Hey, Ebato!
Ebato! Hey!
You got it! - How awesome!
I hit it anyway...
I hit it for now, and got it.
Awesome, Ebato-kun.
He hit a pitch from Dougaku's ace.
A great swing.
Even if he hit it by chance.
As I thought we'll challenge during the preliminaries.
If our draw luck is good.
What we're doing on the grounds isn't practice.
Practice means that
you repeat the same thing over and over and experience it, right?
But, we don't have enough time to repeat,
in the first place, I don't even know what we should be repeating.
Then what are you doing?
Experimenting and researching.
Think of the grounds as the experimentation place.
Each of you think about what you can't do,
and what you should do to be able to realise it.
Anyway, you make a hypothesis and start the experiment.
Then, when the results arrive, you make the next hypothesis.
It's the repetition of experimenting.
For example, if it were Dougaku,
it's because thoroughly went through their practice time,
that the thought "can't lose" was born and becomes their confidence.
However, no matter how much we try, we can't spare that practice time.
That's why it's impossible.
So, in what should we hold confidence.
We'll make it complete,
the "just enough" practices that we learned from our experiments!
We should make that our confidence.
Meaning, all we do is practice that we need.
If the pitcher gets a strike in, that's just enough.
If the batter can hi the pitch far away, that's just enough.
A double play is more than we need so you don't need to get that.
Being able to dash while holding weights is also more than enough.
We have to think that other teams are doing pointless practices,
and complete the practices that our team needs!
The quality and quantity of practices that are just enough.
I want you to be focused on that.
Got it?
Yes, sir!
Okay, here you go.
Just enough.
Now, Ebato and Tarumi will be going to Kanagawa-ken's Tournament Drawing Hall...
For the Nation-Wide Senior High School Baseball Championship Series!
Alright! - Get going!
We're counting on you. - Yeah!
Alright! - Let's get in a circle!
Alright!
Please give us Dougaku for the first game!
No! No! Please give us a weak team for the first game!
Isn't Dougaku fine!? - The weaker the team, the better!
You're all over the place!
You'll be late, anything is fine so, go draw the result.
Anything is fine so, go draw the result! - Oh!
For now, go draw the result! - Oh!
Anyway, go draw the result! - Oh!
Alright! - Go draw the result!
Don't lose your spirit! - Don't be late!
We're off!
Manager! It's decided!
The 1st game was decided.
Where?
Takemiya High School.
No way!? - Takemiya?
Takemiya, huh. - Takemiya.
Takemiya...
Isn't it great though, you played with them once.
But I guess they're kind of strong...
Manager.
It looks like just this time,
they'll take us on seriously.
