Summary:
Goha Yuka tries to sign Kirishima Romin, and not just to the baseball team!
Oh, Carmen! Bad news, Goha Astro Monsters rookies! Romin struck out!
What happened to the limit-breaking, over-the-fence home runs she hit in her Duels with Yuga and Roa? Those victories had to have put her in a hall of fame somewhere!
But with the one female president of Goha stepping up to the plate, swinging all those bats and Advance Summoning Uniform No. 39 Junior Baseball King, Home, Romin soon caught on her record was no longer safe.
A new rival had appeared! Goha Yuka-kun! (kun, kun, kun…)
"Is she gone?" Romin only allowed her fingertips to show on the edge of the counter.
"Ushiro scared her off. Hey, while you're down there, would you toss me a plastic bowl?"
Romin passed Roa what he requested, gasping gleefully once she realized she could stop hiding on the floor. "Finally! What is that girl's problem? I lost the Duel, and she's suddenly hot for my hot-blooded spirit and wants to recruit me onto the company baseball team?"
"Take my advice: Try it out. Maybe a career in professional baseball will help advertise the band. Maybe you'll make it to the big leagues as their star pitcher or reach first base."
"Um, no."
"Wow, didn't take you for a homophobe."
"I'm not! Just, why should I take your advice? Before telling me to give girls a shot, why don't you get with Getta already!"
"Sometimes it baffles me how you two are such good friends. He starved you, you know? On purpose."
"Yeah, under whose orders?"
"The divine me, of course!" Roa admitted. "FYI, the divine me and Getta-chan, we're already at first base!"
Ushiro slunk awkwardly beneath his mop.
Romin blinked. "Liar! Pictures or it didn't happen!"
"Hrmm? Insulting the chef? I can mix dangerous chemicals into my curry too, Romin!"
"Please don't," Ushiro begged softly. "Some of us would like to survive to have dessert…"
"Kirishima-kun! (kun, kun…) Leave the bench! Kattobashing!" Yuka announced into her announcer's mic.
A sweaty Getta slid into home. "Gang, the outfielder's in the infield again!"
Roa read from his cousin's face that there'd be more brows to beat.
Romin was upsetter'd at Yuka trying to get her setupper'd.
