That summer, the baseball he hit flew towards the sky, as fast and high as an arrow.

It's a game-ending home run!

I lost again...
You really thought you could beat my team's invincible fourth-at-bat, the world-renowned Gates?
Vice Admiral Fujishima.
Hey, Narumi. Lend me a thousand yen.
This summer, the sight of a white ball getting lost in the massive blue sky has kept me in awe.
Oddly enough, I'm talking about a game.
An online baseball game called Power Play Ball.
Powerebo, for short. I'm completely addicted to it.
Dradra Girls
I mean, the game has so much player data stored online.

All right, it's closing time.
Get the hell outta here!
Uhh, excuse me...
Please don't cause any—
It's closing time.

Oh! It's been a while.

So, gently run it through...
Okay.
So you want to make a request?
Please!
It's the only favor I'll ever ask of you!
It's against the law!
Raising the rent by 25% is against the law!
They call us yakuza because we break the law.
Enough already, Major—
No! We need to settle this!
I won't let them close down this arcade and turn it into a pachinko parlor!
You're pretty energetic, elementary school kid.
I'm in college!
Huh?
You guys sure are weirdos.
Hey, I know.
Let's make a bet.
We'll gamble.
All or nothing.
If you win, the rent will stay as-is.
However, if we win, you're evicted on the spot.
Whaddya think?
Deal!
Tetsu...
Let's see...
How about that?
You kids like baseball, right?
We accept!
It's decided, then.
Let's head back.
Already?
Why not settle this right now?
What are you talking about?
Even we can't arrange that right now.
We'll have to book a field first.
A... field?
We'll give you the details later.
See ya.
That Summer's Twenty-One Pitches
Foolish.
Absolutely foolish.
Forgive me.
This is my greatest mistake of my life.
I was dragged down to this dump thanks to you.
I'm so sorry you think that way.
I'm sorry.
This is all my fault.
Don't be ridiculous!
Your arcade is our home, Nishimura-san!
We can't let it disappear!
Oh, my brother used to say that it was very comfortable as well.
Did he?
Excuse me, who might your brother be?
Toshi.
Oh, that guy who's good at fighting games.
You know, I haven't seen him in a while.
What happened?
Anyway, what're your plans, Major?
We don't have enough players.
Right.
Vice Admiral Fujishima is useless, too.
What?!
I can't play baseball either!
That means, we only have six if we include Meo.
Huh? I don't know how to play baseball!
Wait, did you automatically count me in?
Is this enough, then?
Hello, everyone.
Excuse us!
The Fourth.
We have enough to play baseball now, right?
Goodness.
All of you, listen here.
If you wish to win, then there's a condition.
I will be the team's coach!
Keep at it, Fujishima-kun!
And so, we ended up playing baseball for real during the end of this summer.
Time just flew by.

This is all your fault, Narumi.
Huh?
I'm talking about the awkward duo with the Fourth.
You were in charge of teaching them.
Yeah, but I had to practice, too...
Thanks to you, a precious portion of my life has gone to waste.
Let alone the fact that all they've learned is:
Advance and pull back.
Just those two signs.
It's no laughing matter!
Take a look at this.
This is...!
It's Nemoto's team roster.
Joutou High School Baseball Club?
That's a powerhouse!
The next guy represented his school in track and field?
Defeating them won't be easy.
Not only that—
A-Alice, this guy's—!
That was just my way of saying hello.
Try not to lose too hard tomorrow, eh?
I'm looking forward to a fun game.
N-Nemo-san!
What?
I won't let you back out now.
Nemo-san, you're a former baseball player, right?
You were also the ace pitcher for a Koushien participating team,
and you were even the winning pitcher!
Your point?
It makes me sick.
Seeing people play baseball as some game...
It makes me want to crush them like bugs.
Why?
Does Koushien even matter?!
How many winning high school pitchers do you remember this year?
Probably none at all!
They're all forgotten after the summer.
They're as good as trash!
Th-That's not...
This baseball game is profitable.
That's why I'm pitching.
That's all there is to it.
Get yourselves ready.
Today's the big day, Fujishima-kun!
Wh-What's with that getup?
Yoshiki-san made it for me.
What do you think?
Well...
Mr. Assistant!
Thank you for coming today.
I owe you guys.
So, only for today.
Yes, sir.
Good grief.
I can't believe you're still playing, given Nemoto's ability.
If Meo were to get hurt this game...
Y-Yes, I understand.
Vice Admiral Fujishima, we're warming up!
Y-Yes!
Coming!
Come 'ere a sec.
The heck's with that?
She says she can't come without them.
Hey, coach.
Come on out.
Alice, are you really going to give us orders from there?
Of course.
The sun, air, and everything outdoors is my enemy. Not just the opposing team.
But I won't back down!
Actually, you've already backed down quite a bit...
Let's have a fair game!
Play ball!
Let's do it, Sou-san!
Yes, sir!
We'll do our best!
Shut the hell up!
Strike!
Here's another!
Strike two!
Last one!
Strike three!
Batter, out!
Wow! That's Hinamura-san for you!
The problem is the next batter...
Nemoto Kiichi was the ace pitcher during the summer of his sophomore year.
They advanced to the semi-finals before losing.
Immediately after, he voluntarily dropped out.
How come?
The truth isn't clear.
Judging from the news articles back then,
Nemoto was suspected of being involved in gang-related sports gambling.
That's all I could find out.
After all, it happened over 30 years ago.
The truth is shrouded in mystery.
What kind of player Nemoto Kiichi was,
the kind of pitches he made,
how much effort he put in,
and the feelings he had towards baseball...
Those records are nowhere to be found.
Yeah, boss!
It's all been forgotten, huh?
Like I said...
What does this mean?
Run!
And this?
Run!
You don't remember any of it!
Hey!
Let's do this!
He's not pitching yet?
So the ace pitcher's saving his arms for later.
He's still pretty intimidating, though.
How dare he mock us...
Go! Go! NEET!
Go for it! Go for it! NEET!
Hey, let's not call ourselves, "NEET."
But...
Yeah.

Sweet!

There's another runner!

and we, the NEET Teddy Bears,
put up a good fight for a last minute team.
Strike three!
Batter out!
Change sides.
He's not bad.
But he's reached his limit.
Well, I'll save the best for last.
You've finally noticed?
What have you been doing as a bench warmer and assistant coach?
I got the Fourth's medical record.
He's in no condition to be playing baseball.
We have to tell him to stop, then!
He's not the type who'll listen.
What should we do, then?
Alice...
The key is, when will Nemoto Kiichi pitch?
He said he'll save the best for last.
I was able to figure out their current pitcher from the data in previous innings.
However, I don't know Nemoto's ability.
If we only had his historical data...
But what happened 30 years ago wouldn't be recorded in a database.
Oh, I know!
True, it may have been a hopeless bet based on optimistic thinking.
But I found myself running without a doubt in my mind.
I'm sure someone remembers what happened that summer.
Alice!
Narumi.
Good grief!
You keep scaring me.
Sorry.
Sou-san!
Narumi.
Hurry and get that pighead to bench.
I'm starting to remember.
Geez, you push yourself too hard.
Shut up.
I can't leave it to a hopeless pitcher like you.
The Fourth...
Yeah, this feeling...
Hurry and make way for me.
Don't worry. I'll end your pain in a flash.
Strike three!
Batter out!
Hiro.
Wanna bet 20,000 that I'll get a hit?
Okay.
I'll double your bet.
All right!
I'm invincible when there's money on the line!
This isn't mahjong!
I got this!
Too bad.
That's our boss!
Big Bro!
I'll do my best.
Dead ball.
Take first base.
I've done my best, Big Bro!
Two outs, and a runner on first.
So cool! You're so cool!
Hey, Gardening Club.
Pinch hit.
No, I can't take your place!
We're counting on you, Vice Admiral Fujishima.
You can do it, Narumi-kun.
But...
Player change.
Alice?!
I'm the pinch hitter.
Hey, I can't see you! You're too small!
Isn't it bedtime for you?
Is this a joke, little lady?
Get the game started, ump.
Play ball.
Fine.
Ball.
Fool! That was right in the middle!
I see.
Great plan, Alice.
What do you mean?
The strike zone depends on the hitter's size.
In other words, it shrinks radically for someone with a small frame, like Alice.
Ball.
Strike!
Strike two!
Swing!
Three strikes.
We did it!
Where were you looking?
Take that back.
What on Earth were you looking at?
Oh!
An uncaught third strike!
Big Sis!
Safe!
Alice?
You're up next, Narumi.
I won't let you guys cheat again.
Foul ball!
You're connecting from the first pitch, huh?
You've got good eyes, kid.
But you're not getting a hit off of me.
Foul ball!
You're pretty persistent.
Are you going to tell me you practiced with that shit game?
It may be a stupid game to you, but yes.
I'll show you a trick, too.
The 21st pitch.
The party's over!
This is it, Narumi.
You've got guts, kid.
Mr. Assistant?
Amazing! What a comeback!
That was a game-ender, Fujishima-kun!
Big Bro, that was beautiful!
I'll follow you for the rest of my life!
You're one lucky fellow.
Let's go bet on horse racing next time.
You were really cool.
Thank you!
Thank you so much!
How?
How did you know my finishing pitch was that forkball?
I checked the records.
Huh?
That's impossible.
It happened 30 years ago.
Records aside, you even knew my pitching patterns...
It survived in the game you hate.
Ridiculous!
Why would a game have my data?
The people who remembered you added it in.
I'm sure that 30 years ago...
your pitching performance was etched into an admirer's heart.
Bullshit.
But a loss is a loss.
The rent will stay as-is.
A true man.
By the way, where's Alice?
Video Game
I lost again!
Major's losing? That's odd.
I'm in a 10-game losing streak.
Your opposing team has a cute uniform.
Maybe you were playing against a girl.
Do you think I can beat him, too?
I'll teach you.
I'll do it!
It appears we're not the only ones addicted to Powerebo.
Welcome.
I'm so glad your store is thriving.
My regulars are showing their support after that incident.
Oh, by the way...
Your brother's here.
Rojiura ni wa kurai kurai tomori
Dark, dark illumination in the back alley
路地裏には暗い暗い灯り
Soko ni tsudou hamushitachi no you
Just like the flying bugs gathered there
そこに集う羽虫たちの様
Mogaku bokura wa crying crying tomo ni
Crying, crying together as we struggle
もがく僕らは crying crying 共に
Himeta omoi wo kusuburaseterun da
Our hidden feelings are smoldering
秘めた思いをくすぶらせてるんだ
"Nani wo sureba ii" sore ga wakaranai
I don't know what we should do
「何をすればいい」 それがわからない
Mugen no imi osoreteru
I fear the meaning of eternity
無限の意味恐れてる
Shibirekirashita ryou no ashi ga tachiagare to segande iru
My numb legs are imploring me to stand up
しびれ切らした両の足が 立ち上がれとせがんでいる
Subete sadame da nante
"Everything is fate"
すべて運命だなんて
Kami no rakugaki da marumete suteru sa
It's just God's scribble. I'll crumple and toss away that page
神の落書きだ 丸めて捨てるさ
Tatta hitotsu no saeta yarikata
It's the only wise thing to do
たったひとつの冴えたやり方
Itsumo mune ni daite
With that thought always in my heart
いつも胸に抱いて
Yoake niramitsukeru yo
I'll scowl at the dawn
夜明け 睨みつけるよ

Ayaka's brother has returned,
but that was just the beginning of another case.
As for me, it was a bad omen...
for the breaking down of what I took for granted.
