In preparation for tomorrow’s game the official training ends now!
The game begins at 10 am…
Do some light warm ups until 8:30 and then get into the stadium!
Seems tomorrow’s temperate will cross 30°C, so keep self-training to a minimum and get a good sleep.

Page 03

Dismissed!!
Yes!!
Already over? When the game is already tomorrow?
No… Specially because the game is tomorrow…
How’s it., Tetsu? Wanna go over to Akikawa again and take some shots?
No, I’m done with simulation.
All that’s left is to swing my bat.
How reliable.

Ah! Jun-san, I want to check the video! // I want to image stealing a base.
Uga! (Me too)
You plan to run!?
Haruichi!
Tag long on my
Tee batting later.
Eh…!?
Y- You sure you want me?
Haha, what you mean?

Page 05

You can hit some too. // Later that is..
O- Okay!
How rare for Ryousuke-san to call out for his brother.
He says all that, but they’re brother after all.
Hold it, Miyuki Kazuya~~~
Don’t you want to catch the straight of the evolved me!?
Shut up! Don’t call me by my full name!!
I caught it yesterday already, // your pseudo straight!
What you mean pseudo!?

Hey, Furuya. Let’s leave the idiot here…
Wait~~~!
Wait, he’s an idiot too.
When the sun is down, we’ll do some light pitching.
I said wait~~~
I want to check on your fork…
When the sun is down?
Listen! Just some light exercises, you hear!!

Page 07

I guess the exhaustion from the heat lately got to him…
It might be have been for long, but he was the starting pitcher for two games..
But his strength hasn’t dropped.
It’s hard to judge..

Page 08

Kawakami, be ready from the beginning tomorrow!
Yes!!
Exhaustion from the heat and pressure.
On the way to victory, these two are obvious escorts.
That’s why everyone’s strength is need to win through it…

The strength of the whole team----

Page 10

As usual, your swing has no hesitation.
During the game, don’t just help Sawamura, get yourself ready too.
Eh?
You got switched in in the first game, right?
The Coach keeps using those who are in a good condition.
Ah.. But, for a while now, I’m only swinging…
It’s fine, go on…

Page 11

Struggling at this point is useless.
I’ll show what I have learned until now.
C’mon, keep going!
…But, I’m doing it for close to an hour now…
But….
Somehow it’s been a while…
That I have spoken with him like that…

Page 12

Oops…
His pitches are really
All over the place.
Well… Even he himself has no idea where they’re going…
(Yeah~)

Page 13

Sawamura, next is a Four-Seam.
Yes!!
Ehm…
It was this, right~~~
(Wahahaha)
….
You want to do that during the game too?
Ten more pitches and we’re done.
Come on!

Page 14

Guh… So fucking close…

Page 15

Bastard!! You think it’s fine to hit me, right!?
Eh.. It’s not?
Of course not!!
An in course pitch against a left-handed batter.
Training against Akikawa’s line-up, huh.

Page 16

G- General!!
Who’s a general!?
Geez.. How long do you plan to have Chris stick with you?
…No…
Too naïve!!
!!
Hey! Give me the bat and the helmet!!
Eh!? Wait.. Coach…

Page 17

Try a pitch.
An in course one.
I- It’s too dangerous with just a helmet!! // What if he hits you?
I don’t mind.

Page 18

Come!
For real!?
Could it be the Coach
Is testing if he can use Sawamura
In tomorrow’s game as Furuya’s relief?

Page 19

What’s wrong? Throw already!
You scared of hitting me?
Uwaaa… What pressure…
(I wouldn’t want to throw now…)
B- But if he manages to throw an in course
With this pressure…
Haha. I was right to drop by here.
This looks interesting.

Uwaa
He’s up for it-------
