Damn it
﻿All the balls are unhittable
﻿They were all good pitches, right?
﻿That's right.
﻿Although a little offset but all in the strike zone
﻿Excuse me, the pitching settings that we set,
did you find them too difficult?
Don't bother
Are you selecting the balls?
﻿You can clearly see the path of the ball, right?
﻿What are you talking about?
﻿Thank you for coming.
Strange customer.
﻿What do you think, senpai? *(she's speaking more formally)
﻿I think something's up with her
You have been observing her swings
﻿What's wrong with you?
Yes?
Can you stop talking so wierdly?
﻿You're making me uncomfortable.
﻿No, no, I'm just being polite to an ex-pro baseball player
﻿I'm used to it.
But if we talk so formally, I won't be comfortable.
﻿Then I'll call you uncle.
That was quick
﻿So, did you sense the troubles with that person?
﻿I'm afraid so.
Round 2 [The Woman who "sees"]
[Takashi Koyama] Good work today. After the reception party tomorrow, do you want to go out for drinks?
﻿How can I go?
"Sorry, I can't"
[Kanna] At tomorrow's party, you'll have a chance to get close to Aozawa Yota (single)! So hot!
Aozawa ﻿Yota
"It's not like I'm going out to find men. I'm just there to expand my business network."
Kanae-san
﻿Isn't that dress too gorgeous?
﻿Is it?
Are you trying to get the men's attention?
﻿The idea that a woman dresses up for a man is too old-fashioned, Natsumi-san.
Yeah, yeah.
﻿But you look pretty when you try to dress up.
﻿I said I'm not trying!
Yeah, yeah.
That advertising director is really hot property right now
﻿The competition is fierce, huh!
﻿You should also look at other options
Huh?
Like for instance, Yoshida-san?
﻿He is the director of an acting company
﻿That person's a no go, I heard that he is quite the philanderer
﻿Is that so?
﻿What about Nakajima-san over there?
He's just a simple manager
﻿Oh, that's no good either,
because he was divorced once.
﻿What about Inoue-kun?
﻿The younger generation has a promising future
﻿I heard that Inoue is still in love with his ex-girlfriend.
﻿You've been checking out all the men around you.
﻿You're too picky.
﻿There's no such thing as a perfect man.
﻿Right
﻿Is that so?
﻿Well, let's broaden the scope to find a better match
Aozawa is walking away
Now's your chance! You have your business cards, right?
﻿I have my card but...
﻿Then go, go!
﻿But what do I say?
﻿Say anything you want, for example, thank you for taking care of me previously, say it cute
﻿Oh no, I can't.
﻿It's okay, it's okay. Just be super cute.
﻿It's okay, it's okay. Go, go, go.
OK, here goes
﻿Let's do it.
﻿How is it?
That was a good ball, no problem.
﻿Then let's accelerate the next ball.
﻿Well...
Aozawa-san, it's been a long time.
﻿Oh, Eri-chan, it's been a long time. How have you been?
Oh no, she's been interfered
﻿And isn't that Takamatsu Eri, the model?
﻿Mr. Aozawa you are very popular not even come to say hello to me
That's not true
It is true
﻿Then invite me to dinner or something.
I can schedule it for you
﻿Really?
﻿I'll call you. Can we do it after next week?
﻿I'll be glad to see you again.
﻿We've worked together somewhere, right?
﻿Yes, we worked together in a drink commercial once before.
﻿Oh, yeah, yeah.
﻿Long time no see
﻿I feel embarrassed that I'm the only one talking.
﻿No, no, I'm just going to wash the bathroom.
﻿Oh, sorry.
Oh, that was such a good chance
﻿Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So stupid
Interview with Takamatsu Eli: With her overwhelming personality, she has expanded her activities to include fashion shows, commercials, and dramas. What does she see for herself in the future?
Kanae-san,
﻿You are really quick to surrender that battle
﻿He got away so quickly.
﻿You're afraid of that model, aren't you?
﻿I told you, that's not what I'm after.
﻿Okay, okay, I'm sorry
﻿Thinking like that is like taking a hundred steps backward
﻿I have to avoid these bad balls like him that come my way
﻿I don't know what these models see in him,
fawning all over him.
He likes young girls, right?
﻿I can't stand such a person
and not someone I can show who I truly am inside
﻿This wine is really good
﻿Amano, aren't you drinking?
I'm miserable
﻿What do you mean by that?
Why are you feeling so down?
﻿It has nothing to do with you.
Have some roe.
﻿It's delicious. It's not common.
﻿How about eating it with some wine?
(Mother)
Hello
Kanae, it's mom. Are you alright now?
﻿Yes. What's up?
﻿Nothing just wanted to hear your voice
﻿Although you might say I'm nagging again,
did you meet the right man today?
﻿This again?? You're so annoying
﻿You have to hurry while you can still have a baby.
﻿Mom, this is total harassment
﻿What? I'm just saying what I think.
Like ﻿I said, marriage is not the whole point of life
It's established that couples are allowed to keep their original surnames.
﻿Nowadays, there are many reasons why women want to choose their own timing to get married
﻿Why are you so angry?
﻿You started this, right?
﻿Forget it, I'm hanging up.
Natsumi told me about it. I heard you got sunk by Aosawa. Are you okay, Amano? Cheer up!
I'm still drinking. Come by anytime.
﻿Almost ready to close
﻿Uncle, time to close up
Ahh, doing work
﻿Ah!
You just made a "tsk" sound
﻿But... I helped you tune the machine today!
You're kidding me, all you did was just look at it
Whatever, just keep the balls away
﻿Good evening.
Ah!
﻿Welcome.
﻿You're still open, right?
﻿Yes, we're still open.
[Takashi Koyama] Amano, are you free on Wednesday? I've got something to tell you. Do you want to go out for dinner?
﻿Well, please enjoy batting today
﻿I'll swing if there's a good ball.
﻿Until then, it's up to me whether I swing or not.
Can't I do that?
﻿No, I didn't mean you can't. It's not a problem at all.
﻿But I think you'll be happier if you swing.
﻿By the way! The machine has been adjusted perfectly today.
﻿Uh, you seem to be getting lots of notifications on your phone
﻿Don't look at it
Sorry, it was an accident
﻿Anyway, I can't find a decent man
﻿Either their face is not my type,
or they're colleagues who are dull to hang out with.
﻿All of them are no good
﻿These are all invitations from men, right?
[another message from Takashi Koyama] I'm sorry for so many messages. Just worried about you. I'll see you tomorrow!
﻿Too high
﻿Too low
﻿Too far away.
Are you thinking of a new tactic?
﻿If so, it's too new.
﻿It's too far.
﻿It's a good pitch any way you look at it, right?
﻿The pitching machine is also adjusted to the perfect condition.
Is she just trying to find fault?
﻿Leave it to me
﻿It's another Ball (outside the strike zone)
﻿That was a strike.
﻿What? That ball was too high, right?
﻿It was definitely a good shot
Strike one!
﻿This is also in the strike zone
Strike two!
﻿No, two bad balls.
﻿That ball was right in the center of the strike zone
﻿Strike
Batter out.
﻿All of them are strikes when the batter doesn't swing.
﻿If you count from the first ball, seven batters are out in a row.
﻿Your strike zone is really narrow.
﻿You've narrowed the range so much that all balls are bad.
You're annoying.
﻿You're the one limiting yourself
﻿The reason is that
you lack courage
﻿Shut up!
﻿Do you want to hear my theory of baseball?
﻿What? Baseball theory?
Don't tell me it's happening again?
﻿Life is a baseball
Eh? What is going on?
﻿Here we go again again! We're inside the world of uncle's mind!
﻿No, this is too much.
So, what's your strategy this time?
﻿Can't you think of a solution, within your own realm?
Say something...
﻿You're completely immersed in it, huh?
﻿Uncle, is it going to be alright?
﻿In the bottom of the first inning, we have a man on third base with one out.
﻿The opponent is ahead by three runs, we have to attack
﻿If we hit the ball here, we can turn the tide of the game
﻿But if you don't hit the ball, the score will give them more pressure
﻿The situation will become more and more unfavorable
﻿It's really a critical point
﻿To whether she can hit the ball is the key to this game
﻿Swing the bat firmly!!
Huh?
﻿I can't possibly do it!
﻿Ready?
Hey, wait a minute
﻿I'm afraid of the ball
﻿Strike one!
﻿That was a good ball.
﻿If she swings the bat, it will hit.
﻿It's true.
﻿If you swing the bat, you can hit the ball.
﻿Come on!
﻿Don't talk nonsense, that was a bad ball.
﻿Strike two!
﻿That ball was too high
﻿It's a good ball again
﻿Batting is a mix of experience and ability to determine whether the ball is good to hit
﻿No matter how strong a batter's experience and capability,
the pitcher will not be afraid.
She is just a coward.
﻿What are you doing?
﻿What's wrong?
﻿You can't take the first step unless you swing.
﻿If she can't hit the ball here.
﻿It'll be even harder to win.
﻿Time out!
﻿Time out?
I request a pause in the game
﻿Time out!
﻿What do I do?
﻿﻿What do I do? ﻿What do I do?
﻿If you're not going to do anything, we will continue the game
﻿Wait
﻿Ready
﻿Even if you say that to me, I am still afraid, what do I do?
﻿If I could have swung, I would have swung already
﻿But
﻿What would I do if I get struck out while swinging?
﻿What if I miss? I'm scared just thinking about it.
﻿If I can't guarantee a home run.
﻿I'm really afraid that I won't be able to swing the baseball.
﻿Strike! Out!
You're afraid to make up your mind, aren't you?
﻿You're a real coward.
﻿You
Reference how other men bat
﻿Reference? How do I reference batting?
﻿Reference is a method to bring about courage
*Takeshi Yamasaki
﻿It's....
Yamasaki!
﻿When did he appear?
﻿Watch carefully
﻿This man is hitting the ball with his innate power.
﻿He was active in both the Central and Pacific Leagues, specializing in home runs.
﻿Ready!
Strike one!
﻿He swung out at the first ball right away.
(Strike two) ﻿What a great swing!
﻿Out of bounds!
﻿What are you doing?
﻿Why did you swing the baseball at such a bad ball?
How is he not affected by those mocking him?
﻿Why?
Is that what you really think?
﻿That momentum, that posture, that attitude. Do you really think it's lame?
﻿It's okay even if you swing short
﻿There is no guarantee that you will hit the ball right in the center of the field.
﻿Don't set your own strike zone and try to swing boldly!
﻿Ready
Go for it!
﻿Good!
﻿The ball was hit with the bat's neck, but it flew so far.
﻿This ball could have gone over the fence.
﻿That's because he swung with all his might.
﻿That's because he had to courage to break through the barrier
﻿Excuse me.
Aren't you afraid?
﻿If you're determined to swing the ball, but you don't get it.
﻿You'll be ridiculed by everyone, right?
﻿If you don't swing, you won't get a hit, right?
﻿Let's take a swing first.
﻿You're running out of time
Let me help you arrange for a blind date
﻿You so annoying
I know I'll marry the right guy when I find him,
﻿so don't worry about it and just wait
﻿That's good
You can't give the impression of a gloomy person,
no one likes that and they will avoid you.
﻿It's okay, it's okay, you are, good woman
﻿I know
﻿I'm hanging up. Bye.
So annoying
"How are you today? Let's go out to dinner! I've been trying to get you to go out with me since we joined the company!"
That's right, ever since we joined the company.
No way!
No, no, no, no, no, no!
"Okay, let's just have some dinner"
﻿Let's try swinging the bat first
﻿Okay
﻿I can't, I can't hit it at all.
﻿You're doing well. You're making great progress.
﻿Really?
﻿Let's prepare for the next one.
﻿It's very important to be prepared for anything.
﻿Please don't say it so loudly, it's embarrassing.
﻿It's okay, it's okay.
You will hit the next ball.
﻿I got it!
﻿I hit it! I hit it!
﻿If you swing the bat, you'll hit it. Keep swinging.
That's nice
So passionate
