Women's Changing Room

A Good Kid

Sara, you're in a good mood today!

Well, these uniforms are just so cute!

You've still got that wide-eyed innocence, Sara.

You've been at this for a year, you know.

Who could it be?

Huh?! They're coming today?!

Would anyone like a beer?

Would anyone like an ice-cold beer?

Sara is this park's only high-school-aged vendor.

I'll take a beer!

Thank you!

Hey, Yuuhi Beer girl!

Yes, coming right up!

Kohinata!

Thank you for your patronage.

It's another hot one, huh?

You getting along okay?

Yes!

I'm getting plenty of rest and hydration.

I don't have many regulars who use my given name.

Thank you very much.

Sara, dear! Over here!

Here they are.

Some of the only regulars who use my given name.

Sara!

Hey!

Ma, Pa, you gotta stop coming here.

Don't be cross, now!

We're your customers today!

You just look so cute in that uniform!

Keep it down. You're embarrassing me.

Smile for the camera, Sara!

I told you, no photos while I'm on the job!

Say cheese!

Sara is a good kid.

Isn't our Sara the best vendor girl in the park?

Sure is!

Hey, I'm totally not!

Would anyone like a beer?

Kohinata's our ace.

She's beautiful, and she sometimes sells 400 cups in a day!

Aona's going to college to become a teacher, so she gives the best advice.

Always start at the bottom and go up so you're in the customers' sight lines for longer.

And Ruriko, the latest hire...

Heya!

Um... hmm...

Well, she's just amazing!

And then there's Kokoro, who wants to be an actress!

She's so cheerful and kind...

And then, and then...

Sara is a good kid.

You've got yourself a lot of big sisters, huh?

Such a lovely thing for an only child like you!

Now, one more shot!

No! I gotta go.

Don't come here so often, okay?

Hey, wait a minute!

What now?

Say hi to everyone else!

Everyone else?

Hey, Sara! Hey!

Hey, Sara! Smile for the camera!

So Many Treasures

One day in July, after the game...

Women's Changing Room

Dang, what a hot day!

I need a cold bath after that.

The summer's just kicking off, Ruriko.

If this is enough to wear you out, you'll be in real trouble soon.

You kidding me?!

I'm hitting up the vending machine! Anyone want anything?

Water for me, please!

I'll take a barley tea.

What's going on back here?

Sorry.

I tried to get the laundry basket, and it all came crashing down.

Hey, come on...

Are you okay?

Were you hurt?

No, I'm okay.

Thank you for asking.

Oh, this thing? Finally gave in, did it?

The waiting rooms and changing rooms have too much clutter.

Who knows how long some of these things have even been here?

Guess we can't put it off any longer.

All right.

Let's get cleaning!

Kohinata had locked in!

Need this.

Don't need this.

Need this.

Need this.

This one... I don't need.

This one...

Decide later.

Hey, my notepad from when I first started here!

I don't use it anymore, but I don't want to throw it out, either...

Sara, sweet child.

You'd better hurry up or you'll be here for five hours.

I'm doing my best, okay?

Look at you, grown-up girl! You love cleaning so much!

Well, it's fun! It's like a school club!

I'm not in any clubs at school.

Hey, tone down that teenage enthusiasm!

Everything feels like a treasure when you're young!

Hey, stop it! Cut it out!

You like this, too, don't you? Snuggle, snuggle!

You're only three years older than me!

What, you think twenty's not a big deal?

It's not!

Ooh, big talk!

I bet these moments are a treasure to Ruriko, too.

You okay, Aona?

Y-Yeah, I'm fine!

Nothing going on here!

I found the exchange diary I kept with Omatsu before we started dating!

Checker Sub-Leader Omatsu (Age 22)

Crazy. I had it in my locker this whole time...

Aona.

I-I-Is that...

No, no, no, no...

Sara, get over here!

Aona's got something scandalous!

No! Stay away!

Aw, pwease!

Share your romantic feast with us poor, starving singletons!

I want to see it!

Stare...

No way!

Don't be so stubborn!

Don't be stubborn!

Back off!

C'mon, guys! Let's not spread the slack-off bug!

What's that all about?

No idea.

Anyway, Nakaizumi,

what do I do with these?

With what?

I'm not sure whether to throw 'em out or not.

Let's see what we've got.

These are...

Now this is a treasure!

BASEBALL Tsubaki Takino The Double-T Duo Drafted to the pros together Special Draft Issue

BASEBALL Tsubaki Takino The Double-T Duo Drafted to the pros together Special Draft Issue

Classic Weekly Baseball!

These are from twenty years ago!

Ah, reliving the days of my youth!

And look how much cheaper they were!

Nakaizumi, you've caught the slack-off bug.

Hey, you guys know who this is?

Takino? Is that...

It's Kojiro!

He's so young!

Even that gruff old Kojiro was once a wide-eyed, crew-cutted youngster.

And who's the guy next to him? This "Tsubaki"?

Never heard of that guy.

Tsubaki was a first-round draft pick by the MotorSuns out of high school.

He quietly retired six years ago.

Takino and Tsubaki were a famous duo at Makiyama High School.

They both wanted to get into the MotorSuns,

but Kojiro was drafted by another club and became their star player.

Meanwhile, Tsubaki, who made it to the MotorSuns,

struggled with injuries until he finally hung it up.

Tsubaki had already quit by the time Kojiro joined us,

so there was no reunion of the Double-T Duo.

It was announced that Tsubaki went to join an independent league in the USA.

I wonder what he's up to now...

There's just no stopping this guy.

Once you're done reading them, either throw them out or take them.

Hey, Sara!

What's this, now?

My dear, sweet Sara, you can't hide your tests from your parents!

That's not something a big kid does!

I-I'm going to show them...

And don't look through my stuff!

Is our little Sara embarrassed about breaking her perfect-score, honor-roll record?

Is she? Hmm?

Stop making fun of me! You're the one acting like a little kid!

Yeah, whatever. Sorry, fine.

I can't stand it!

Am I... like a little kid?

Attention, all! I found something awesome!

It's the old Yuuhi uniform!

Isn't it adorable how much it looks like a real player uniform?

I love it!

I bet you could still wear it!

It had shorts, huh?

Whoops! Forgot to return that to HQ.

That's the previous generation.

We had male vendors back then, too.

They looked pretty cool paired together!

Wow!

The customers really liked 'em, too.

It feels so old-school!

I think Nakaizumi and I are the only ones who remember those days...

There's something in the pocket.

What is it?

Wow, it's a photo!

I guess it's the person who used to wear this outfit.

Who could it be?

Wow, the big-haired gyaru look! She's fab!

The girl in the glasses looks a little familiar, too...

The gyaru's got a seriously legendary aura.

C'mon, guys! I can't see!

That's another trip down memory lane!

Nakaizumi, you know this gyaru?

What's she like?

C'mon, let me see!

W-Well, um...

Actually, she's someone you all know very well.

Huh?

We know her?

This girl is still here in the ballpark?!

Can it be...

Bingo...

Kohinata?!

It can't be true!

What a change!

That girl behind her is Natsume.

That was ten years ago, I guess!

Are you saying this was Kohinata at 19?!

I won't look back! For me, only the future matters!

Why the personality change?

It wasn't!

That was just the fashion ten years ago.

Kohinata, put on the uniform!

Give yourself the big hair, too!

Great idea! Let's do it right now!

Staff Waiting Room

Please, spare me!

C'mon, please!

They didn't get much cleaning done.

Hey, that looks great!

Going Off-Script

One day in July,

the Chiba MotorSuns Stadium had a rare sell-out crowd!

For you see, on that day...

they were holding the once-a-year celebration of Japanese pro baseball...

the All-Star Game!

Popular players from all twelve clubs split up by league

and battle it out over two days.

It's held in a different venue each year,

but today, it returns to our MotorSuns Stadium for the first time in eight years!

Would anyone like a beer?

Ice-cold beer!

Would anyone like a Hyper Dry?

So this is MotorSuns Stadium, huh?

It's decent.

Look at that gyaru vendor girl!

The unfamiliar customer base makes the vendor girls nervous, as well.

The Styx win on the vendor girls front.

Every other front, too.

The MotorSuns only got three players picked for this year's ASG!

Those arrogant jerks!

It's another no-doubter!

This year's Home Run Derby is really heating up!

Last year's P-League home run king, Araiba of the Fukuoka Styx,

hits a stunning thirteenth ball over the fence!

Araiba hits for contact as well as power.

He could make it in the MLB for sure.

Dennis! Go avenge us!

Give it all you've got, Dennis!

Shishio.

Okay.

Next up to bat is Dennis Young!

Incredible! That's ten homers for Dennis Young!

Can he beat Araiba's record?!

Hitting like this can ruin your form.

I hadn't planned to take this seriously, but...

That's eleven!

Losing and letting them mock our team would be even worse!

There it is! Dennis Young's on a roll with long ball number twelve!

For better or worse, here comes the last pitch!

M-My destiny is... looking at me...

Swish...

It ends with a swing and a miss!

This year's Home Run Derby winner is Araiba!

Oh my God!

No! I can't believe this!

Mascot team, cheer team!

It's almost showtime!

We're way behind schedule,

so please, just follow the script!

Man, it's hot!

Yeah, especially on the field.

And we've gotta move around more than usual...

Sun-Shiro! It's great to work with you!

We do this pro wrestling style, right?

Fukuoka Styx Mascot Kaiser (Reindeer)

Okay, let's get out there!

Here's the moment you've been waiting for!

It's the dance of the twelve team mascots!

Sun-Shiro of the MotorSuns and Kaiser of the Styx are both down!

Now, it's time...

And it's Kaiser out of nowhere with a dropkick!

Sun-Shiro goes flying! Is he okay?!

Sun-Shiro gets to his feet, and...

He takes off at Kaiser!

And it's Sun-Shiro with a retaliatory headbutt!

Great one!

Hit him more!

We've got a real brawl on our hands!

Kaiser has him in a chokehold!

Yeah, harder! Get him!

Sun-Shiro is down and out!

The winner is Kaiser of the Fukuoka Styx!

Nice, Kaiser! You really owned him!

That checks out for the teams, too, right?

Perfect recreation of a Styx-MotorSuns game!

Nobody expected a fight here, but Kaiser of the Styx clearly dominated!

Sun-Shiro!

Get up! Get up, Sun-Shiro!

What's wrong with you, Sun-Shiro?!

Are you going to let them mock us...

Let them mock the MotorSuns?!

Show a little backbone!

No! I can't believe this!

Nice, Kaiser! You really owned him!

That checks out for the teams, too, right?

Perfect recreation of a Styx-MotorSuns game!

In that moment, something inside Sun-Shiro snapped.

Sun-Shiro? You're supposed to stay down!

The stretcher's on the way! We're in a time crunch!

S-Sun-Shiro?

Wait... You...

Wait! That's not in the scri—

...the script!

I-Incredible! Sun-Shiro's back up!

He turns it around with a German suplex!

Sun-Shiro! Sun-Shiro! Sun-Shiro! Sun-Shiro!

Sun-Shiro! Sun-Shiro! Sun-Shiro! Sun-Shiro!

Sun-Shiro! Sun-Shiro! Sun-Shiro! Sun-Shiro!

Sun-Shiro! Sun-Shiro!
