[The sun was shining that day...]
[And under the cumulonimbus clouds that this artist is getting very tired of drawing...]
[The TV was showing baseball all day.]
[The air conditioners were on full power.]
[The roads are jammed with cars going to and from their picnics and trips...]

Cars: (jam)(jam)(jam)(jam)

[A day of the summer vacation we are all familiar with.]

Sign: Meiwa Daiichi Senior High School

People: murmur

[The day of the game of fate.]
[In their game uniforms, the coach-less Senkawa High School Baseball Club.]
[Will they become a legit team?!  Or will they break up?]
[It all depends on the outcome of this game.]

Adachi: (Don't miss it!)

[They are playing Meiwa Daiichi High School, who should have won the regional tournament, but lost for some silly reason.]

Teams: Meiwa Ichi
	Senkawa

[A formidable opponent!]
[...indeed, a team that has plenty of talent to spare.]

Hideo: Hey Fune,
	you seen my wallet around here anywhere?

Kine: You dirty son of a...

Hideo: HA HA HA!

 - Page 172 -

Kine: Listen, Kunimi!  Don't let that guy get a hit!
	Use any sneaky sleight-of-hand tricks you can to win this game!
	Got it?!

Hiro: But the only hand I use...
	Is this one here.

Guy: (cough cough)

Haruka: Do you have a cold?

Noda: Hiro!  Has Yanagi showed up yet?!

Hiro: Doesn't look like it.

 - Page 173 -

Noda: Well crap, man!
	What if he doesn't show?!
	Who's gonna play second if that happens?!

Hiro: Shut up.
	I've already asked myself that question enough times today.

Noda: I guess he just can't disobey his dad...
	Anyways, who's left?

Hiro: Ah,
	lessee...

 - Page 174 -

Hiro: Hmmm.
	Sato-san,
	Tanaka-san,
	Sasaki-san...
	Nakamura-san,
	...and.

Noda: And?
	And who?

Guy: (cough)

Hiro: Guy with a cold...

 - Page 175 -

Noda: Huh?

Ump: Both teams, line up!

 - Page 176 -

 - Page 177 -

Noda: You gotta be kidding me.
	This is their second string team.

Hiro: That's a good thing.
	It doesn't matter what happens in the game, winning is the important part, like Kine said.
	No matter what we have to do.

Ump: Bow!
	Let's have a fair game!

Teams: Meiwa Ichi
	Senkawa

[Because they're confident enough to give us the choice,]
[we will be batting last, despite the fact that we are the visiting team.]

SS Arikawa, 3B Yamaguchi, 2B Guy with a Cold (cough)

Principal: I thought I told you not to go easy on them.

Meiwa Principal: Hmm?

 - Page 180 -

Meiwa Principal: Yes, but we can't bring out our regular players, it would be too cruel.

Principal: You musn't lose.

Meiwa Principal: HA HA HA!
	Please, stop that.
	These aren't just any second-string players.
	The Meiwa second-string is full of recognized, talented boys.
	They'd be starters on any other high school team, I guarantee.
	If we actually lose, I'll shave my head bald!
	HA HA HA!

 - Page 181 -

Meiwa Player: Hey, man.
	You're not gonna have to come in to the game.
	Just relax on the bench and watch.

Hideo: I think you should warm your arm up, senpai.

Ump: Play ball!

Hikari: Uh-oh.
	I'm gonna be late.

Hideo: {Open their eyes, Hiro...
	And then make them
	put me in the game!}
