| Izumi | Kumon-kun, do you have an answer? |
| Kumon | ...Yeah. |
| I might be a burden, but I want to try playing the lead! |
| Muku | Kyu-chan…. |
| Tenma | Alright. I’ll push you hard. |
| Kazunari | Good luck, Kumopi! |
| Izumi | Then it’s decided. |
| Tsuzuru | I’ll need to come up with a theme that suits Kumon. |
| Tenma | He’s ridiculously honest, and isn’t that great at acting. You should write the role for him. |
| Tsuzuru | Sounds good. I did the same with Chikage-san too. |
| Izumi | A theme where you can easily write a role for Kumon-kun…. |
| Kazunari | A school play? |
| Tsuzuru | A school play—a romantic comedy, or an afterschool club…. |
| Izumi | That’s right, Kumon-kun, weren’t you part of the baseball club? |
| Kazunari | Oh, how about a baseball theme then? |
| Tsuzuru | Now that you mention it, I haven’t written a sports comedy yet, so that might be interesting. |
| Misumi | Baseball seems fun~! Triangle home base! |
| Tenma | That’s what you’re excited about!? Actually, aren’t your standards for triangles getting looser? |
| Misumi | I’m going to make it a special home base shaped like a pretty triangle! |
| Yuki | If it’s about a baseball club, we can make the Koshien our clear goal. It’ll be easy to follow. |
| Kumon | Baseball…. |
| Muku | Kyu-chan, is that okay? |
| Kumon | I think I’ll be fine. |
| Izumi | ? |
| Kumon | —If we do baseball, I already know stuff, and I think it’ll be easy for me to perform. I want to do a baseball-themed play! |
| Tsuzuru | Alright then. I’ll think of a plot with a baseball theme right away. |
| Izumi | (Kumon-kun looked a little bewildered when we mentioned a baseball theme—am I just imagining things?) |
| |
| Tsuzuru | ...Hmm. The development here needs work…. |
| Juza | —Tsuzuru-san. |
| Tsuzuru | Hm? |
| Juza | The next Summer performance is going to be baseball themed, right? |
| Tsuzuru | Yeah. Kumon played baseball, right? They thought it might be easier for him to perform. |
| I was just outlining it right now. |
| Juza | …. |
| Tsuzuru | Is something wrong? |
| Juza | I have a request…. |
| Tsuzuru | A request? |
| |
| Kumon | 125—126—1, 27—! |
| Juza | Oi, Kumon. |
| Kumon | ? |
| Ah, nii-chan! |
| Juza | You were practicing out here again? Mother was calling you for dinner. |
| Kumon | Eh!? It’s already that late!? |
| Juza | Come on, let’s go home. |
| Kumon | Yeah! I’m hungry~! What’s for dinner today? |
| Juza | Said it was hamburgers. |
| Kumon | Yay~! I love hamburgers! |
| Juza | It’s fine to practice every day, but make sure you come home before it gets dark. |
| Kumon | Ehehe, when I’m practicing my swings, I just lose track of time. |
| Juza | You really love baseball, don’t you. |
| Kumon | Yup! |
| Juza | When’s your next game? |
| Kumon | Next Sunday! Nii-chan, will you come to watch? |
| Juza | Yeah. |
| Kumon | Yay~! When I get into high school, I’m definitely going to take you to the Koshien[1], nii-chan! |
| Juza | I’m looking forward to it. |
