| Tenma | ―― All right. |
| (It's been a while since I've worn a glove.) |
| (I hadn't thought the glove from First Crush Baseball would be useful again this time.) |
| Hm? |
| |
Kumon Sorry, Tenma-san! My thing went on longer than I'd thought so I'll be a bit late! |
| |
| Tenma | Honestly....... |
| Juza | ......Tenma? |
| Tenma | Juza-san, huh. Good work today. |
| Juza | That glove.......Are you going to play catch? |
| Tenma | Yeah. I'd planned to have Kumon help me with pitching practice, but it seems he'll be a bit late. |
| Juza | I see......Sorry about that. |
| Tenma | No, there's nothing for you to apologise for ――. |
| Juza | ......If it's catch, would you let me play it with you until Kumon comes? |
| Tenma | Huh? Juza-san, you can play baseball? |
| Juza | Well......I don't have any particular experience, but due to Kumon's influence, the two of us used to play catch a lot together. |
| Tenma | Huh, I see. |
| Then I might as well take the opportunity to have you accompany me. I'll be counting on you. |
| Juza | Yeah. |
| |
| Tenma | As expected, your balls are pretty powerful. Is it because you have strong shoulders? |
| Juza | Is that how it is? I don't understand it myself, though....... |
| ......Good luck with the special surprise. |
| Tenma | Yeah. It's the first time I'll be appearing on a program like this, so it's new and exciting for me. |
| Kumon | Sorry I'm late! |
| Huh? Nii-chan's here too! |
| Tenma | You weren't here, so he kept me company. |
| Kumon | So that's what it was! Thanks, Nii-chan! |
| Want to play catch with us too? |
| Juza | No, I'm going out after this. Sorry. |
| Tenma | I see. Thanks for accompanying me, Juza-san. |
| Juza | Yeah. |
| Kumon | See you! |
| |
| Kumon | I hadn't thought you'd be playing catch with my brother~. |
| Tenma | Juza-san came when I was waiting for you and threw for me instead. |
| Kumon | Ahaha, sorry, sorry. |
| Still, a boy who's your fan, huh~.......You'll have to show him your cool side! |
| Tenma | Hmph, of course. |
| Kumon | I was really reassured having you in front of me during First Crush Baseball. |
| It might be partly because I was originally in a baseball club, but......A battery really is two people as one. |
| Tenma | Huh......Is it like that. |
| Kumon | Yeah! That's why I'm a bit jealous that you're forming a battery with someone else~. |
| Tenma | W-What's with that....... |
| Kumon | Ahahaha! Tenma-san's embarrassed~. |
| All right, then next let's practice catching! Let's go, Tenma-san! |
| Tenma | Yeah, I'm counting on you. |
