| Izumi | Hit-a-homer~! A—za—mi! Go, go, let’s go! |
| Azami | ...I prefer soccer, you know. |
 |
| Kumon | ——. |
| Izumi | So fast...! |
| Azami | ——. |
| Manager | Strike! |
| Azami | ...Huh, you’re good. |
| Kumon | Yup, my arm’s out of shape.... |
| ——. |
| Azami | —I won’t let you! |
| *Hit* |
| Taichi | He hit it!! |
| Manager | Foul ball! |
| Kumon | ...You’re good, Azami. |
| Azami | ...I’ll get it next time. |
| Kumon | ——. |
| Azami | ——. |
| *Hit* |
| Sakuya | A hit! |
| Tsuzuru | Run, run! |
| Izumi | Amazing, Azami-kun! |
| Sakyo | Hmph. After all that whining “I only play soccer.” |
| Tasuku | Huh. Then I guess I’ll invite him to the soccer club. |
| Sakyo | He’ll give you a hard time because he’s in his rebellious phase. |
| Tasuku | Then why don’t you join us too, Sakyo-san? |
| Sakyo | ...I’m too old to play around kicking a ball. |
| Tasuku | But you’ll play baseball? |
| Sakyo | I have to. There aren’t enough people. |
| Tasuku | You complain, but in the end you’re pretty sociable. Exercise is good for your health, and it’ll help you build stamina. |
| Sakyo | Don’t treat me like an old man. |
| Tasuku | Didn’t you just say you were too old to play? |
| Sakyo | Tch.... |
| Chikage | I guess I’m next. |
| Sakuya | Good luck! |
| Tsuzuru | Apparently Chikage-san has never played baseball—is he going to be okay? |
| Izumi | Eh!? Really!? |
| Itaru | I did explain the rules. |
| Citron | You swing the bat and run! |
| Tsuzuru | That’s too simple! |
| Izumi | I wonder if he’ll be fine.... |
| Chikage | .... |
| Kumon | ...Woah, what’s with this pressure. |
| ——. |
| Chikage | ——. |
| *Hit* |
| Sakuya | He hit it! |
| Itaru | It’s going far. |
| Citron | It’s a home run! |
| Tsuzuru | Amazing, Chikage-san! |
| Chikage | I hit it. |
| Tsuzuru | No, you’re not supposed to come back here! Run, run, run around the bases! |
| Chikage | Oh, so I’m supposed to run around those white bases? |
| Sakuya | U-umm... should I guide you!? |
| Chikage | Haha, I’m just kidding. I know that much. |
| Izumi | (It’s his first time playing baseball, but he hit a home run... Chikage-san is in incredible shape....) |
| Tenma | Two points at once, huh.... |
| Kumon | Hehe, guess I’ll have to get a little serious. |
| |
| Manager | Strike! Batter out! |
| Taichi | Dammit~! I couldn’t even touch it! |
| Tenma | Looks like he’s gotten the hang of it again. |
| Izumi | Kumon-kun is amazing. |
| Tenma | I thought it was something about baseball that was holding him back, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. |
| Izumi | (So it was bothering Tenma-kun too....) |
| He seems to love baseball. I wonder why he quit.... |
| Tenma | .... |
| |
| Manager | Strike! |
| Kumon | All right! |
| Muku | Kyu-chan is like a fish in water. |
| Juza | He’s always been a hardcore baseball idiot after all. |
| Muku | You’re right.... |
| Juza | How’s practice going? |
| Muku | We haven’t run into any problems. Kyu-chan’s acting has improved a lot since we first started. |
| Juza | ...I see. |
| Muku | I’m sure he’ll be fine. |
| Juza | .... |
| ...Muku, I have a request. |
| Muku | Hm? |
| Juza | Will you let me make a copy of the Summer Troupe’s script? |
| Muku | The script? |
| Juza | Yeah. |
| Muku | Of course, but... why? |
| Juza | ...It’s something like insurance. |
| Muku | ? |
| |
| Manager | Game set! |
| Tenma | 7-2, the Summer-Winter team wins! |
| Muku | Yay~! |
| Kumon | Wow! A huge victory! |
| Misumi | We won~! |
| Kazunari | Congrats~! |
| Homare | Of course we did. |
| Tasuku | Phew, that was a good workout. |
| |
| Izumi | Everyone, it’s time to head back~. |
| Misumi | Ye~s! |
| Kumon | Ah! I left my cap on the bench! |
| Muku | Ah, I left something too——. |
| Izumi | We’ll be waiting here, so go get it. |
| Kumon | Yes! |
| Muku | I’m sorry! |
| |
| Kumon | Umm.... |
| Muku | Ah, here it is! |
| Baseball club member A | Huh? Isn’t he.... |
| Baseball club member B | Hm? |
| Kumon | Ah.... |
| L-long time no see... Are you going to use the field? |
| Baseball club member A | Well, yeah.... |
| Baseball club member B | Kumon, why are you here? |
| Kumon | Um, we were just using the field.... |
| Baseball club member A | I thought you quit baseball? |
| Kumon | .... |
| Muku | U-um, we don’t want to get in their way. Let’s go, Kyu-chan. |
| Kumon | ...Y-yeah. See you. |
| Baseball club member A | ...Someone who ran away shouldn’t be playing baseball so casually. |
| Muku | Kyu-chan didn’t run away—. |
| Kumon | ...It’s fine. Let’s go. |
| |
| Muku | .... |
| Kumon | .... |
| Muku | Were those people members of your baseball club, Kyu-chan? |
| Kumon | ...Yeah. The one who said I ran away was Yamaguchi, who formed a battery with me for a year. |
| Muku | I see.... |
| Kyu-chan, did you quit your high school baseball club because——. |
| Kumon | ...Yeah. I should tell you, Muku. |
| |
| Yamaguchi | You’re amazing! Kumon! You should seriously go for pro baseball! |
| Kumon | Ehehe. You’re just flattering me. There’s no way I can go pro. |
| Yamaguchi | I’m sure you can! If we have you, we can aim for the Koshien! |
| I was really worried about what would happen to our team after the third years graduated, but if we have you, we’ll be fine. |
| Thanks for joining our baseball club! Let’s aim for the Koshien together! |
| Kumon | —Y-yeah! |
| Yamaguchi | But I guess our next practice game comes first. Let’s win this for sure. |
| |
| Kumon’s mother | I’m sorry. Yes, yes—. |
| Kumon | (Stop, mother. I can—.) |
| Kumon’s mother | We’re taking him to the hospital now just in case—. Yes—please. |
| Kumon | (I need to get to the game—.) |
| Kumon’s mother | Yes, thank you—. |
| Kumon | ——. |
| Kumon’s mother | You can’t, Kumon. Your fever is near 40 degrees. |
| Kumon | But the game—. |
| Kumon’s mother | —Kumon! |
| Kumon | ——. |
| (My eyes are spinning....) |
| Kumon’s mother | Kumon, your fever has gone down, but don’t push yourself. Make sure you stay in bed. |
| Kumon | Yes. |
| Kumon’s mother | I need to go out shopping for a bit, so watch over the house. |
| |
| *Doorbell rings* |
| Kumon | ? |
| ...Yes. |
| Yamaguchi | U-um, I’m Yamaguchi, I’m a member of Kumon-kun’s baseball club. |
| Kumon | Ah—wait, I’ll get the door now. |
| |
| Kumon | Um, how did the game—. |
| Yamaguchi | We lost. |
| Kumon | I’m sorry... I.... |
| Yamaguchi | You had a fever. It’s not your fault. Are you feeling better now? |
| Kumon | Yeah.... |
| Yamaguchi | All right , that’s good then. I was a little worried so I came to check in on you. |
| Let’s play in the next game together for sure! |
| Kumon | .... |
