The next morning, Hirofumi tells the other students that he will not be kicked out of school. He says he will stay until a new team is formed. He tells them that he has installed a new roof over the bull pen, and that he plans to break it down in order to make the other players pitch crazy on rainy days. Hirofumi says that he cannot believe that the first-year catcher has gotten bigger since the summer tour. He also says that the second-year player, Furuya, is firing up right now. He thinks that the hit that Hirofumi was hit on the back of the head was the end of the summer for the upper classmen, and Hirofumi hopes that the new captain will be able to get Hirofumi back on his game.
