I don’t really get it, but I’m mighty glad you’re safe.

Tsuji-kun’s our school’s baseball team’s ace.
Oh, that’s right. Takai-san told me about you.
/ You’re armed with a 130 km/hr fastball and a lazy curveball, right?

But he ain’t able to aim that curveball,
so his dreams of goin’ to Koshien stayed as dreams.

P—Pops, can’t you stay silent?!

Eleven batters hit or walked, and ya actually went out in the third round of the prefectural finals.
/ And to think we sent two busloads o’ supporters after ya.
Argh, just give it up already!!
[lower right]: ……

p48: =================================
[sfx]: Vreeeeen
Tsuji-kun, ain’t your shoulder in a bad state?

?!

Yer earnest, so ya didn’t tell no one,
and ya forced yerself to throw.

…
How d’you…?
A curveball, right?

The way you throw it, it looked like you were puttin’ stress there on your arm.
If ya wanna go pro, ya oughta learn some other kinds o’ breakin’ balls.

p49: =================================
[sfx]: Vreeeeen

*Rustling*

Hey, Ishidou-san?

p52: =================================
Thank you so much, truly.
Don’t worry ‘bout it.
Next time yer in town, let’s go fishin’.
