Ending - Lighting the flame inside Akari once again

== 7th inning ==

Akari : ...No, it's impossible.

Hagumi - Kokoro - Kanon - Misaki : ...!?

Akari : Akari can't do it.

Hagumi : That's not true! What's wrong with you Akari!?

Akari : Akari doesn't understand. Akira work so hard... even everyone is praising Akari... but, even after all that, Akari still can't hit the ball.

Akari : The pitcher has also gotten better. What should Akari do, why can't Akari hit it.

Kanon : Akari-chan...

Hagumi : I see... so that's mean, Akari loses your self-confidence.

Akari : Self-confidence....?

Hagumi : Yes. But, if you bring out your courage, then you will definitely regain your self-confidence!

Akari : B- But... how am I supposed to do that?

Hagumi : Believe in yourself! After that, cheer yourself up.

Akari : ...That's impossible, Akari can never hit the ball...

Hagumi : No, Akari, you can hit the ball! You just lose your confidence and became unable to hit the ball!

Hagumi : The usual Akari will definitely hit the ball! Hagumi believe in you!

Akari : So it's not because Akari is not good...?

Hagumi : Yes! Besides, Akari has practiced so hard! That's why, Akari can definitely hit the ball!

Hagumi : Didn't Akari also saw Hello Happy's performance today? They practiced a lot and they get better!

Akari : ... Can Akari hit it?

Hagumi : Of course! I mean, ever since that time, Akari have already hold courageousness inside of you! That's why, just do your best and use all of your strength!

Kokoro : Exactly! Self-confidence and courage! If you have that, then you can do anything!

Akari : Courage...okay. Back then, everyone has already give me courage.

Kanon : We believe in you Akari-chan. But, you also need to believe in yourself.

Misaki : Right. If you go all out and have fun, everyone will definitely think that you're cool. Look, even Kaoru-san is clasping her hands in her chest and... what is she doing actually.

Akari : Everyone... You're right. Everyone is so cool when you hit the ball. Akari also wants to hit the ball! No, Akari will hit the ball!

Akari : Then everyone will think that Akari is cool!

Hagumi : Yes! That’s the spirit, Akari!

Akari : Thank you! I’m off!

Kokoro : Akari--! We're here with you--!

Misaki : Calm down and relax!

Kanon : It's going to be fine--!

Misaki : ...Now, we can only watch her.

Hagumi : Yes... But, Akari will definitely hit it! Hagumi knows because Hagumi is the captain!

Hagumi : Akari--! Hit it with all you got----!

== After the match ==

Misaki : Haaaaa... we did all we can... but we still lose.

Kanon : Yes... But I think it was a good match. I mean our final score is 3-4, it was really intense.

Kokoro : You're right! I had a lot of fun! I even become a friend with Mr. Ball!

Kaoru : Yes, the match is overflowing with fleetingness. How about this, let's make softball into our regular band activity.

Kokoro : That's a good idea! Feel free to use the batting center every time you feel like it!

Kanon : Ahaha... Our activity just keeps on increasing.

Hagumi : Everyone--! Sorry for making you wait---!

Misaki : Ah, Hagumi. Akari too. What did the opponent team say?

Hagumi : They said they have a lot of fun! They also said that they want to do it again! ...Everyone, good job for today!

Hagumi : We lost but it was a fun match! We also showed them how cool we are!

Hagumi : To think I could play softball with everyone that I love... Hagumi is really happy right now! Thank you, everyone!

Kokoro :  I'm the one who should say that! Thank you for showing us, how fun softball is, Hagumi!

Kanon : Yes, Me too! At first, I don't know how will this turn out, but I'm glad I do my best.

Misaki : Seriously, everyone did really well this time. Excluding the bunt that Kaoru-san makes though.

Kaoru : Fufu, Surprising the audience with an unexpected twist is the wish of every actor.

Akari : ...U- umm, Hagumi-chan, everyone. Akari also wants to say thank you. Everyone helped me once again.

Hagumi : No, we didn't do anything! Everything is the result of your hard work! That's it!

Hagumi : It was really cool, Akari!

Akari : ...Yes!

Hagumi : Ah, That's right! We need to do a celebration for the end of the match! Hagumi forgot!

Kanon : Celebration...?

Hagumi : Yes! After a match, we always gather together and do a celebration! We go to a family restaurant and spend time together!

Kokoro : That's good idea! I'm getting hungry, right now! I also want to do a Live after that! I just think of a good melody!

Hagumi : As expected of Kokoro! Then let's make a new song too!

Kaoru : Yes, what a wonderful suggestion. I bet it'll become a really fleeting song.

Akari : Waaa! Akari wants to see the Live!

Kanon : Eh... EH? A Live? After all this...?

Misaki : Sigh... Well, let's talk about the Live and the new song later after we eat. I'm hungry.

Hagumi : Yosh! That settles it! Let's go to the family restaurant everyone--!
