Major S3

Chiharu-chan! Goro-oniichan is home!

Hey, don't wake her up! I barely got her to fall asleep just now.

And what? That's petty.

Where's Mom?

She left to pick up Shingo.

But seriously,

to actually defeat the Kaido main team...

To tell you the truth, I was surprised.

I guess.

Regardless, that was a really tough game.

Oh yeah, by the way, Dad,

how's the transfer procedure for Mifune High going?

Yeah, it looks like the entrance exam for Mifune is in August.

Oh, so it's in August.

Don't be so impatient.

Students who transfer in the middle of the year can't participate in tournaments.

In your case, you'll only be able to participate in the summer tournament of your third year.

If you're aiming to make it to Koshien, that'll be your first and last chance.

I'm fully aware of something like that.

Speaking of which, there's something that worries me.

I wonder if Mifune's baseball team will accept you with open arms...

What?

It wouldn't be surprising.

Even if your former close friends, Komori-kun and the rest, are there...

in the last summer of third year, if a transfer student suddenly becomes the ace...

there might be some who won't be pleased.

In the worst case scenario, the manager might refuse to let you join the baseball team.

Wouldn't it be better for you to go and confirm things?

There's no way something so ridiculous is true!

Seriously!?

That's right, that's right!

Speaking of which, the summer tournament preliminaries have started.

Ball!

They're playing, they're playing!

Out!

Now this looks like real baseball.

What? 6-0!?

Wait a minute, isn't Koyo the famous high school that's always in the top eight?

Third batter, first base: Oobayashi-kun.

Oobayashi's the third batter?

Ball!

Those pitches are pretty fast.

Mifune actually scored six runs on this pitcher...

Safe!

O-Oobayashi...

Fourth batter, catcher: Komori-kun.

Do your best, Komori!

Yeah! He did it! Great!

We used to lose in the first round every year; to think that we'd become this strong...

Even though they're only second-years, they're cleaning up.

Fifth batter, pitcher: Yamane-kun.

What?

Yamane is the pitcher?

What's going on?

Yamane couldn't even throw a ball with his left when fielding before.

Strike!

Strike two!

The guy who wasn't able to throw a ball further than 50 meters before...

How can it be!?

I'm not the only one.

Here too, there're people who are running along their tracks as fast as possible with their own feet!

It seems like they don't need me.

I can't take the ace number away from a man who overcame such a difficulty.

It can't be helped!

Well, there's mountains of other high schools around.

I'm home!

I'm home.

Welcome home.

Goro-oniichan, let's play a game! Pressure Fight!

Let's play!

But Dad has a game today, doesn't he?

Isn't it starting soon?

No, not yet.

Is that so?

That's right!

You started lying recently, so...

I'm not lying!

All right, let's play for a while then!

Yeah! Game!

Let's go!

Too high... Ball four.

Today, Shigeno isn't-

What's going on, Dad? Get a hold of yourself!

Goro...

don't you have something to tell your mother?

Something?

Hey, young man! I didn't even hear a single word from you about leaving Kaido for Mifune!

But didn't you hear about it from Dad?

Is something wrong?

About that, the circumstances have changed at Mifune so I'm not going there.

Instead, I went to Edawara High and got an enrollment form. Help me send it.

The level required to pass their exam isn't too high,

and as long as we pay the tuition, it should be easy to get accepted.

Wait-

What are you doing?

Dad is pitching right now!

"As long as we pay the tuition," it's fine!?

Stop joking around!

What do you take your father's hard-earned money for!?

It went through! To the right!

Don't throw!

Don't throw!

Your father is too kind so he didn't say anything to you,

but I'll tell you honestly, I'm not pleased.

T-Then, what should I do?

It's your selfish decision, so earn your own school fees.

Whichever high school you choose, you have two months before you begin school.

Get a part-time job between your studies and your training.

Hey, it took a while!

Come here, Shigeno-kun!

What's with this, "Hey, it took a while"?

You should say, "Sorry for the wait," right?

Also, don't place the bowl so roughly, it's being rude to the customer!

Do it properly, please!

What? He told me to be energetic and loud.

What is this!?

There's a hair in here!

It's true! It's disgusting!

How are you going to compensate me? I ate all of it!

I-I'm really sorry. I'll reimburse you for the meal.

What? Only for our meal?

After serving us something like that? That's pretty disrespectful!

I-I beg you, wait one minute!

This is strange.

This hair is brown, isn't it?

None of the staff here have brown curly hair.

Oh, there is! You have brown curly hair! Could it be...

You're an interesting employee...

Are you by any chance suggesting that I put this hair in my bowl on purpose?

Of course!

If you're going to put up false charges you need to do better than that, you geezers.

This kid!

You want to get beat up!?

I'm sorry, valued customers!

Please simmer down!

I'll give you ten meal vouchers!

Why was I fired after half a day when all I did...

was protect the law and order at work?

Earning a living isn't as easy as I thought.

Yes?

Goro?

Yeah, it's Goro-kun, the dedicated young worker and serious student.

This isn't a good time to be making jokes.

I just got a call from Edawara High.

Regarding my enrollment?

I got rejected!? How is that possible?

You'll wake Chiharu.

Why did Edawara High reject me?

I don't know.

I haven't even taken the test yet.

Why did they reject me when they've only looked at my enrollment form!?

They said they didn't want to bother with the enrollment of a problematic student.

Did you do anything at Kaido?

This is a free fansub.

Not for sale or rent.

You look well.

I thought you'd be more depressed than this.

I'm glad I was wrong.

I'm not well at all!

Why the hell did Edawara High reject me!?
