3rd panel:
“What… What was that pitch just now?”
“It seems like a fastball… But drops suddenly?”
4th panel:
“I don’t really get it either…”
“But that was the first time I saw Miyuki stepping back to catch a ball!”
5th panel:
Page 6
1st panel:
“Hahaha!”
{This is the first time I’ve ever seen this kind of pitch… Of course I can’t catch it!}
2nd panel:
{A high-speed fastball that drops only when it reaches the batter…}
{Instead of saying it’s a forkball…}
3rd panel:
{It’s more appropriate to say it’s the 20th century’s last…}
{Devil ball SFF}
4th panel:
{It would seem like that idiot, afraid of pitching a wild pitch, didn’t grip the ball tightly enough…}
[It was simply because of insufficient preparations.]

1st panel:
{But… This is a mistake to be happy about for Furuya.}
2nd panel:
{Even the smile on this guy’s face has disappeared.}
3rd panel:
4th panel:
“C-could it be… Miyuki, he…”
“Made Furuya pitch his first ever breaking ball in a match?!”
5th panel:
“I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what he did, seeing as how he himself couldn’t catch that ball…”
6th panel:
{Really, I have to hand it to him… Reckless attempts one after another…}
7th panel:
{But that’s because he wants the pitcher to experience first-hand the importance of control, }
{And to pull out Furuya’s greatest latent potential…}

1st panel:
{Miyuki, he … Fully understands the meaning behind a “practice match” ----..}
2nd panel:
(It’s easier to get things done when the batter is shaken up this much…)
(Let’s end them off with your signature high fastball!)

1st panel:
“Strike!”
“Nice pitching!”
“Nice pitching!”
“Not bad!”
“That was awesome!”
2nd panel:
“That was the best pitch you’ve had today!”
3rd panel:
“If you’ve got the speed, you should take it out and show it to us!”
“Don’t be petty and keep it all to yourself!”
4th panel:
“Nice pitching, Furuya!”
5th panel:
“Nice pitching!”
Page 11
1st panel:
{So? Isn’t it exihilarating?}
{Those are your teammates heartfelt compliments for you!}
2nd panel:
{Whether you want to change or not, depends on yourself…}
“Stop blanking out and pitch!”
3rd panel:
“…”
4th panel:
“Hehe…”
“I guess Furuya’s not the type to be a side character that we can ignore…”
5th panel:
“It’s the first time I’ve seen that kind of forkball…”

2nd panel:
“Don’t be angry just because of a freshman…”
3rd panel:
“You’re the ace!”
“You can prove it to everyone tomorrow!”
4th panel:
{…Miyauchi…}
5th panel:
“Then I’ll also be able to become the starting catcher…”
“Well, but that’ll only be possible if we’re a battery tomorrow, I guess…”

2nd panel:
“I finally get the reason why Kataoka is using him now…”
3rd panel:
{You wouldn’t think this guy is the exact same person from the first inning…}
{So his real ability is like this…}
4th panel:
5th panel:
“Woaaaah, revived!”
“His performance in this inning is perfect!”

2nd panel:
{As expected, this guy is really strong…}

1st panel:
“Sawamura, after Furuya goes up to bat, you’re up.”
“You’ve properly warmed up, right?”
Eijun: “Ye…Yes!”
2nd panel:
“It’s okay even if he doesn’t go up…”
3rd panel:
“Shut up! You apparently are about to collapse!”
“Just go up and be prepared to be striked out!”
4th panel:
{Damn… Whatever it is, I have to calm down…}
{This is the first time I’m pitching since I’ve entered the first-string.}
{I definitely can’t mess it up!}
5th panel:
“It’s the much awaited performance as a first-string member…”
6th panel:
7th panel:
Miyuki: “Hey,hey! You look constipated…”
“Could it be that you’re nervous?”
Eijun: “W-Why would I be nervous?!”

“Woaaaah! A homerun!”
(I got it…)
“The ball flew so… so far!”
“It flew to the back fence of the centerfield!”
4th panel:
“Hahaha, that punk…”
“Not only did he strike that pitcher out just now, he gave him a finishing strike!”
5th panel:
(Monster…)
<Hmph.>
(He’s really the monster rookie…)

“Who will be going around having practice matches… Won’t that be fun?”
4th panel:
5th panel:
“That’s right, Tachi!”
“Isn’t this kind of match exactly what we are looking forward to?”
[Osaka Kiryu’s Team Captain
Shibata Kyouhei (Reserve)] (If I’m not wrong, it’s this… Not very sure though, sorry :X)
6th panel:
“Everything’s fine as long as you enjoy pitching!”
“Enjoy it to your heart’s content, Tachi!”
“Show them what you’re made of!”
Page 19
1st panel:
“Tachi-senpai, please do enjoy the match!”
“Your smile is awesome!”
2nd panel:
“Hmph… I was thinking of finishing them off in one go, but…”
“As expected of the coach of the team that represents the Osaka Prefecture.”
“The players regained their confidence from his words alone.”
3rd panel:
“We made that coach show his true abilities, huh?”
“Hahaha.” (Smaller text in bubble)
(Special extra training will start when we get back…)
4th panel:
“Damn…”
“The homerun by that guy wasn’t needed…”
5th panel:
Miyuki: “That’s why I’m telling you not to be so nervous!”
<Hahaha!>
Eijun: “I’m not nervous at all!”
Haru: (Oh, he’s not speaking politely to a senpai…)

Miyuki: “I want to confirm your pitches and your ball placement.”
“Pitch a few to me!”
Eijun: “Uh… Ah…”
3rd panel:
Miyuki: “What? Starting to get nervous again?”
Eijun: “Of course not!”
3rd panel:
“Whatever it is…”
“You just have to enjoy the match!”
