Touch 3: Kimi ga Toorisugita Ato ni - Don't Pass Me By

Batting Center

Touch 3

There are times that I can feel the innocence of your silhouette,

"After You Passed By"

Even from so far away

Even it i kiss you soit and tenderly

Original script: NT-Anime

My sadness will continue to build...

But even it my tears flow out

Timed by N_D

I'll always be close to you.

And if you happen to wander off course

Script updated by: N_D

Your friendly guide will be this love of ours

After you went away,

There was nothing left for us...

Free SOFTsub! Not for sale or HARDsub!

And if you happen to turn this way,

You can trust that I'll always be there

In the midst of a pale retrospect, with glittering memories

Anyone can aim for love, so please

All of you traveilers with your dreams

Please don't try to hurry them along

Please don't pass me by

I'll overcome any trying night

For a chance rendevous with you

Despite it's sadness, that is that's kept me living on

I want to see you whispering,

Please don't pass me by

Episode 1

Meisei High School

Geez, it has to happen at such a crucial time...

I wonder how coach is doing?

According to the Principal, it's nothing serious

Really?

That'd good, but his sudden check-in to the hospital really shocked me.

It's because he's worries too much, our coach.

Let's stop by the hospital on the way back.

Yeah.

Principal's Office

What? Quit Rhythmic Gymnastics?

Quit... on just a whim?

That's what it is right, Asakura-san?

It's not a whim, it's something I've thought about quite a bit.

You're going to quit, and do what?

I'm going back to the Baseball team.

Baseball team? You are?

I was originally the Baseball team's manager,

but it was you who farced me to...

Oh yeah, was that right?

Yes it was.

So I want to return to the team.

But... I was sure the Baseball team already had a manager.

She quit the other day.

What?

As I recall, you became the baseball director

after Ms. Yuuko quit, right?

Tha... that's right.

Look, with Tat-chan and everyone being Seniors,

This is their last chance at Koushien.

Last chance at Koushien...

Principal! With our Baseball coach in the hospital,

Please have some consideration for the team!

Oh, if that's what you're worried about, no problem.

What?

I got a call today from Coach Nishio in the hospital.

Phone call?

Yes. It seems that we've found a substitute coach.

Substitute coach?

Hey, where are you throwing?

Sorry.

Doesn't seem like a very good team at all.

Hey, just who are you?

People not involved in the team aren't allow here during practice.

Practice? It didn't look like practice to me.

For a team like this to aiming for Koshien is a laugh.

I don't know who you are, but leave us alone!

That, I can't leave alone.

What?

My name is Kashiwada Eijiro.

Starting from today, I am your coach.

Coach!?

No way...

Until I say stop, keep running!

What's with him... coming out of nowhere.

Tatsuya, did you hear anything about a substitute coach coming?

How would I have heard anything?

Shut up, and just run!

What's with you?

Hmm? What do you mean...

Hi Minami!

Minami-chan!

Who is this guy?

Substitute Coach.

Coach?

Those who have no business here should stay off the field.

I'm the baseball team's manager!

WHAT?!

This team's manager has some nerve wandering into practice only now.

I just went to the principal, I mean director,

and handed him my inauguration papers.

Minami...

Then you're coming back as our manager?

Yeah, starting today I'm officially the manager.

Hurray! Hurray!

Shut up!

That's fine. I'll tell you one more thing.

I'm only here as your substitute coach, until Coach Nishio returns from the hospital.

I have no intent to play around and get friendly with you guys.

I'm going to do things my way, so remember that.

If you understand, then stop standing around and get running!

Yes sir!

Shirai Hospital

Really? So he came already.

How do you know that other coach?

I used to coach him at Meisei-High, so he'd be your sempai.

He's our sempai?

I was really relieved when Kashiwada agreed to sub in for me.

Relieved huh...

He loves baseball with all his heart, always thinking of others.

Is serious and kind hearted. He's the only one who could possibly take my place.

Listen up! Keep swinging till I say stop!

"He loves baseball with all his heart... "

Keep swinging till you drop! Understand!

Him "always thinking of others", huh?

Listen, anyone who doesn't like my methods is free to quit anytime.

"Serious and kind hearted?"

Hello principal. Thank you very much for coming.

How are you feeling?

I'm so relieved to have found a coach to take my place.

I'm doing pretty well for now.

That's good to hear. But anyhow...

What is it?

Well it's about that substitute Coach Kashiwaba...

Yes, I heard about it yesterday.

He started coaching right away it seems?

Yea... yeah, it seems so.

All right that's great.

Well, I guess it's because I've been in baseball so long, I know all good coaches.

Given all the choices, the best, smartest,...

most commanding, and overall best choise was him.

As I recall his name was... Kashiwaba...

Yes, Kashiwaba, Eiichiro.

Captain, ace, and clean up hitter.

There isn't a better soul that I could trust 9 players with.

Is there something wrong, Principal?

"Loves baseball with all his heart... "

"Always thinking of others... "

It must be some kind of mistake.

Yo!

Harada-kun, come inside.

It's been a while.

Yeah it has. Coffee?

I head you went back to the baseball team.

Yeah.

It's better that way.

You think so?

Yeah... but it seems really harsh.

I heard there's a "demon coach" now.

That's right.

Where's Tatsuya?

Probably collapsed at home.

Practices have gotten really rough it seems.

That coach's practices are too much.

I heard something that might interest you.

It seems that Coach Kashiwaba Eijiro has an older brother.

The winning ace pitcher for Meisei High School.

They say he loved baseball with all his hearts, and was always thinking of others.

What?

It seems as though the one who made it to the championships, for Meisei back then,

was that older brother of his.

When his brother graduated from High School,

Eijiro joined the baseball team.

But Eijiro lead a totally different life that his older brother...

He was short tempered, aggressive, and unlinked...

Due to some violent incident, he was ultimately forced off the team.

And so that Kashiwaba Eijiro left saying he would settle the score one day.

Where'd you hear this?

It's from Harada's Uncle.

So he thinks that that coach came to get his revenge on Meisei High.

Revenge?

Yeah... revenge.

Episode 2

Thanks for waiting. Here's my Minami Special "Stamina" Spaghetti.

Wow, it looks great! Thank you.

I have to eat right, or I won't be able to handle practice.

We have to be at practice by 11o'clock.

Geez, it's a Sunday and still...

Practice, practice, huh?

I wish he'd think about our health a bit...

that fiend...

Co... coach.

Did you need something?

I just came to drink coffee.

Coffee, right? Yes sir.

Here you go.

Uesugi, you had a younger brother, didn't you?

A talented younger brother, top of his class in studies,

and an ace as a freshman.

Koushien would have been an lock, if he were throwing.
