2nd panel:
(Unexpectedly… We only scored 2 points…)

{This is the last inning… I’m the first batter for this inning, I have to get on base!}

“Damn!”

“Ohhh! Amano!”
“There’s finally someone on base!”
3rd panel:
“Reiji, I’m so sorry… It was my fault…”
“Damn it..”
“You bastard!”
“Calm down, Reiji…”
4th panel:
“You actually made that kind of error! Are you an idiot?! I’m gonna kill you!”
“S-Sorry…”
“Reiji, that’s too much!”
5th panel:
“It’s just one runner on base, it’s fine!”

{Punk…}

{Why do you want to hit my pitch so badly?}
{Damn it… If this goes on…}
5th panel:
{It’s gonna be Hanagata’s turn at bat…}
{No! He didn’t manage to hit my pitches at his previous two at-bats! No matter who’s the batter…}
6th panel:
{For this inning…}
7th panel:
{They definitely still won’t be able to score!}

“Bastard! What’re you doing?!”
5th panel:
“Akagawa! You alright?”
“This kind of crappy pitch is nothing…”
6th panel:
“There’s finally a chance to get on base… Of course I won’t waste it!”
{It’s his turn now… This is the chance for us to turn the game around..!}

Page 12
1st panel:
“No outs, runner on first and second!”
“Awesome! The runner we needed to get an even score got on base too!”
2nd panel:
(Amazing… This match is really exciting…)
(I didn’t think that they would put in so much effort…)
3rd panel:
4th panel:
5th panel:
“Hey!”
“How can you all be taking part in a match like this by yourselves?!”

Page 13
1st panel:
“Didn’t I say to train by yourself today?”
“How dare you ignore my instructions!”
“To actually take part in a match like this!”
2nd panel:
“That old guy over there…”
“Who’s he?”
“What the hell!”
3rd panel:
“Erm… Coach..”
“Quiet!”
4th panel:
“Leave this field immediately!”
“Or I won’t let any of you play in matches from now on!”
5th panel:
“Reiji! The same goes for you! There should be a limit to your arrogance!”
6th panel:
“If you dare to disobey, you can give up on the idea of participating in any of the matches we’ll be having!”
7th panel:
{I, the ace pitcher, have to…}
{Step down?}

Page 14
1st panel:
{Since I was young…}
{I’ve loved baseball…}
2nd panel:
{I want to become… A pitcher that won’t lose to anyone…}
{“The newcomer… I think he’s called Hanagata or something… He’s really amazing!”}
3rd panel:
{“He became the ace right after he joined…”}
{“He’s a prodigy!”}
{“What happened to the previous ace?}
4th panel:
{“You mean Reiji, that crybaby?”}
{“It’s hopeless for him…”}
5th panel:
{“He’ll just cry on the field…”}
{I want to become a pitcher that won’t lose to anybody…}
{So… Even if that newcomer… That kid who’s two years younger than me becomes the ace…}
{As long as I work hard enough…}
{I’ll be able to become the ace again…}
6th panel:
{“Pitcher… Hanagata Mitsuru!”}
{“Oh… Is it Hanagata again?”}
{As expected of Hanagata the prodigy…}
7th panel:
{“Hanagata will always be our ace pitcher.”}
8th panel:
{As long as I work hard enough… I’ll be able …}
{To become the ace again…}

Page 15
1st panel:
{Ever since Hanagata joined the team, no one pays attention to me anymore…}
{No matter how much I run, or how much I practise my pitching… Even if my pitch has gotten faster…}
2nd panel:
{Ever since Hanagata joined the team…}
{I could no longer become the ace…}
3rd panel:
{For the sake of standing on that mound… I’d put in so much effort…}
{So…}
{I can’t let anyone take away that spot from me anymore…}
4th panel:
{I can’t let anyone else…}
5th panel:
{I can’t let anyone else take it away!}
6th panel:
“Reiji! Did you hear me?!”
7th panel:

Page 16
1st panel:
2nd panel:
“Wha…”
3rd panel:
“He punched himself?!”
4th panel:
“Continue… The match..”
“R…Reiji! Did you hear what I just…”
5th panel:
“Get lost…”
6th panel:
“How dare you speak to your coach in this manner…!”
“Do you want to leave the team?”
7th panel:
“Then I’ll leave the team… But…”
“Don’t you hinder the match!”

Page 17
“This is an extremely important match…”
{It’s alright… I won’t cry anymore…}

Page 18
1st panel:
2nd panel:
“F…Fine... Reiji…”
{W-What a scary expression…}
“I don’t care…”
3rd panel:
“Hey… That guy, is he alright?”
“To actually punch himself… How freaky…”
“Even I got shocked…”
4th panel:
{That monster pitcher..}
5th panel:
{He strengthened his determination at a critical moment…}
“W…Well then! The match continues!”
6th panel:
“First half of the seventh inning, the score’s 2 against 0, no outs, runner on first and second…”
“This is a good opportunity to turn the game around…”
“T-That’s right! Hanagata! Please! We… can only depend on you now!”

Page 19
1st panel:
“I-If you strike out… Leave the rest to us!” (Smaller: Leave it to me, the fifth batter!)
“There’s no point in leaving it to you…”
2nd panel:
“I… I’m going…”
3rd panel:
“Idiot! We can only depend on him now!”
“Stop pressurizing him!”
“Just now… Hanagata, he…”
4th panel:
“Was shaking…”
“What?”
{This is the last inning… The batters behind me are all amateurs…}
5th panel:
{Today… I didn’t manage to get a hit off any of Reiji’s pitches…}
{If I let two runners get back to home base, we’ll only get a draw…}
{If we want to turn the game around… I’ll have to…}
6th panel:
“That’s of course! It’s an important moment for us!”
“But…”
“What?”
7th panel:
“Although he’s shaking,”
“He…”
