“Like, during the seventh inning.. Oh, and there was that pitch too..”

4th panel:
“Heeeeey! You stepped on the injured foot!”
“Huh? What’s wrong?”

5th panel:
“Hey…”
“Erm, sorry to disturb…”
6th panel:
“Ah! The catcher from the opposing team!”

Page 7
1st panel:
“…?”
“Mitsuru…?”
“Yeah?”
2nd panel:
“Hanagata, what’re you spacing out for?” (Smaller text: You’ve been in a daze when we were lining up just now too.)
<Ah, that hurts.>
“Wha..What is it?”
“The catcher from the opposing team came to bow down before you.”
<Yeah, show your sincerity!>
“I never said I would do anything of the sort!”
3rd panel:
“Mm… Arata, what’s the matter?”
<I wasn’t really listening, hehe …♥>
(He’s as easy-going as ever…)
4th panel:
“Mitsuru…Today…”
“We lost…”
5th panel:

“Although I said that…”
6th panel:

Page 8
1st panel:
“I really enjoyed myself today!”
2nd panel:
“So… Let’s have a match again sometime!”
{Mitsuru…}
3rd panel:
{I guess you aren’t really worried about all the bad things I’ve been saying…}
4th panel:
“We lost today only because we got careless.”
<What?>
“In all honesty, it’s not possible for us to lose to a team that depends so much on a pitcher.”
5th panel:
{“Mitsuru… Which Junior High are you going to?”}
{“Why’re you asking?”}
{“Never mind, it’s nothing.. --- ”}
6th panel:
{Oh, I see… Your hands are already not the ones from those times…}
{They are already full of calluses.. They’ve become hands of a batter.}
“So…”

Page 9
1st panel:
“Don’t think that you’ve really won.”
“Arata…?”
2nd panel:
“I won’t let you hit next time.”
“You’re saying all these even though you’ve lost?!”
3rd panel:
“Arata…”
“Then…”
4th panel:
{To be honest…}
5th panel:
“Goodbye, Mitsuru…”
{I wanted…}
{To be your catcher, and form a battery with you forever…}
6th panel:

1st panel:
“Heeeey! Heeey!”
“Eh? Those guys..”
2nd panel:
“Hey! Found him!” (Smaller: Hehehe.)
“Why aren’t you cleaning up?”
3rd panel:
“That’s not important right now! Hey, Hanagata!”
<I couldn’t find you just now… I guess you were just slacking off somewhere, huh?>
“Eh? Looking for me?”
4th panel:
“This is the home run you hit today!” (Smaller: The ball fell into the pond, so we had to fish it out for you.)
“We won because of this!”
“Let’s use this to commemorate the Black Shadow’s first victory!”
5th panel:
“Hm? What’s wrong?” (Smaller: Aren’t you happy?)
“It’s nothing…”
6th panel:
“It’s just that… Today was the first time I’ve ever hit a home run..”
“What?”
“Are you for real?” (Smaller: What about all the arrogance you’ve been displaying?)
7th panel:
“But after seeing this ball,”
“I finally got it.”
8th panel:
{I really managed to..}
{Hit it..!}

Page 11
1st panel:
{I managed to hit a home run…!!!}
2nd panel:
3rd panel:
4th panel:
“But… Is this really that ball?”
“What?”
“Weren’t there quite a lot of balls floating in the river?”
5th panel:
“What are you talking about? I jumped into the river to search for this, you know!”
“Erm…”

Page 12
1st panel:
“It’s…”
“Probably the right ball.”
“When I hit the ball, I saw that the seam of the ball was damaged..See, here.”
“Oh, it’s really damaged!”
2nd panel:
“What?!”
3rd panel:
4th panel:
{The seam was damaged?}
“See! He himself is saying that this is the ball.”
“It really is damaged.”
“See, it’s here.”
“Hanagata, let me see it too!”
“Wait a minute, that’s mine..”

Page 13
1st panel:
{When he was hitting that fastball, he could actually see that the seam was damaged?}
2nd panel:
{His dynamic vision is really something…}
{Though it’s true that he previously caught all those coins in the air…}
3rd panel:
<Come get it!>
<G.. Give it back!>
{Besides, during that hit, he was really concentrating on the ball…}
4th panel:
“When he was hitting that third pitch, I thought that his timing was too slow…”
5th panel:
{But in actual fact, he was just trying to get the ball as close to him as possible before he hits it.}
6th panel:
{The reason why he choked up on a long bat… Was probably because he realised he had extraordinary dynamic vision, and a very fast swing…}
“Really…”

{It’s probable that we are actually playing baseball with an amazing guy…}

Page 15
1st panel:
“Give the ball back to me! It’s mine!”
<Quick, give it back!>
(But he’s still a brat nonetheless.)
<Oh my…>
2nd panel:
“Fine… Why get so mad?”
“Woah! Hey, where are you trying to throw it to?!”
3rd panel:
“What the hell?”
“Hahaha, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
4th panel:
{But…}
{After going through so many things …}
{We are finally playing baseball together…}
5th panel:
<Wait, wait…>
6th panel:
“I really have to hand it to them!”
7th panel:
8th panel:
“Ah…”
