Returning from his injury, Furuya joins a game with the second string. Seeing Sawamura shine in the first string's game, Furuya mulls over the words Kataoka wrote in his journal. Meanwhile, in Yamanashi prefecture, Seido's rivals Yakushi, Ichidai Third High and Inashiro Industrial compete in intense games for the spring Kanto Tournament. Sawamura and his teammates watch intensely as their rivals become stronger.
He smiled the whole time he was 
facing Hokushin's batters.
كان يبتسم طوال الوقت أثناء مواجهته ضاربي هوكوشين
Selbst gegen Hokushi
lächelte er die ganze Zeit.
No se le borró la sonrisa ni un momento.
No dejó de sonreír ni por un segundo.
Face à Hokushin, il est resté
tout sourire du début à la fin.
Ha affrontato tutti i battitori della Hokushin
col sorriso sulle labbra.
Ele ficou sorrindo o tempo todo que
jogou contra os rebatedores do Hokushin.
Он улыбался бэттерам Хокусин всю игру.
