The training went well. Nothing is peculiar, though. From his seat, Manabe can see some fan girls screaming and doing their own things, some local reporters nearby, and of course the baseball team itself. Down there, on the field, he sees Yamamoto Takeshi saying farewell to his teammates. After signing a few things for some of the fan girls, he heads to where Manabe seated.

"Hi! Did you watch the training? Did you enjoy it?" Yamamoto smiled brightly.

"Umm. It's quite entertaining actually."

"Haha… I'm glad you like it. We're hoping to win regional tournament this year."

Just regional tournament? Seriously? Won't it be a waste for your talent?

"Oh, I almost forgot! What is it that you want me to sign?"

"Ahh… Please sign this." Manabe take one of the photos his boss gave him.

"All right, what should I write?"

"Umm, anything? Some quotes perhaps?"

"Quotes? Well… That's a tricky one. I've never good with words anyway. Oh, how about this?" then he writes something. "Okay, done! Here it is." He gives back the photo to Manabe.

Triiit… Triit… Yamamoto's cell phone rings.

"Hello."

And somehow the other side of the phone gives an extraordinary loud reply, so loud that Manabe can hear the word "EXTREME" even though Yamamoto didn't turn on the loud speaker.

"Maa… Maa… Okay, Onii-san. I'll be there soon."

Manabe watches this scene in silent. Where will he go? Should I follow him?

Yamamoto hangs up the phone. "Aaa… Too bad I must go now. Thank you for your support. I'll try my best to show a good performance. Oh, and don't forget to visit my father's restaurant, the name is Take Sushi. His sushi is always fresh. You'll like it for sure"

Manabe nods just because he doesn't know how to respond.

When the baseball player shadows disappeared from his sight, Manabe takes a closer look to what has been written on the photo.

'Rely on your instinct, rather than logic.'

What's this? Is there ever any quote like this? Or it's just his principle of life? It sounds like him though. Manabe turns the photo upside down searching for another word from the baseball player, but there's none. Somehow, he just has this strange feeling that his job will not gonna be easy.

Manabe's note:

Yamamoto Takeshi is just so random.
