The Mifune Dolphins improve their teamwork a bit during a practice match before the summer tournament, which improves their confidence.
On the other hand, having had to transfer to his mother's hometown in Gunma, Hikaru is separated from his Dolphins teammates and was having unhappy days.
In front of his grandfather and mother he bravely put up a cheerful front, but even when he is invited to join the school baseball team, he refuses right away, saying he's not in the mood.
That's why I thought I'd give up 
on that idea without telling them.
.لذلك فكّرت في التخلي عن تلك الفكرة دون إخبارهما
Darum wollte ich es aufgeben,
Por eso pensé olvidarlo sin decirles.
Por eso pensé en olvidarlo
sin decir nada.
Alors je pensais ne rien leur dire
et abandonner cette idée.
Perciò ci rinunciai, provando a far finta di niente.
Por isso eu pensei em
desistir sem falar pra eles.
Поэтому я отказался от этой идеи,
ничего им не сказав.
