August 9, 2010, early morning.
Tokyo's Kokubunji City, Waseda Industrial School.
In the campus of Waseda Industries, the banner congratulating the school's baseball team for making it to the Summer甲 is already hanging on the teaching building.
Although it is the summer holiday season, a fervent atmosphere is brewing in the Waseda campus at the moment.
"Kazuyoshi, hurry up! Otherwise, we'll be late!" Uesugi Yasuyuki, standing at the front of the line, complained to Ogata Kazuyoshi, who was dawdling behind.
"Kazuyoshi, you're always like this, dawdling around, we won't wait for you next time!" Yagaki Kentaro echoed alongside Uesugi Yasuyuki.
"I'm coming, I'm coming, wait a bit, I'm just tying my shoelaces, don't rush me Yasuyuki!" Ogata Kazuyoshi squatting on the ground, retied his loose shoelaces, patted his butt and stood up: "Kentaro, are you really in a position to say that to me? Who was the one who overslept on such an important day like today?"
