( at home )

Ken- hikari chan , ( kiss ) I'm going to our home stadium . today's game is there . do you want to watch from TV or stands ?

hikari - hmm.. its seasons first game right ?

Ken- that's right. hikari chan now understand the system? that's wife of a pro ..

hikari - hehehe.. mom and I read books yesterday . oh yea, did you announce our marriage already ?

Ken- no .. hmm.. I will do it after the game ends today . I was busy playing with my wife in bed so forgot about it.. hehehe. .

hikari- ( blush ) baka...

Ken- bye my cute wife .. call the staff before arriving at the stadium, they will assign someone to take care of my cute hikari chan and mom ..

hikari- ok .. do your best ..

( at Texas stadium . [built 2 years before by our parent company Texas Japan Ltd.. our Tokyo giants is owned by the company . the main headquarters of the company is located in Texas and the business scale is worldwide. which means that company is rich ..] )

Thomas- hey Ken my friend how are you ? it's been a week since I last saw you ..

Ken- oh.. hi. Thomas. sorry bro I got married so was busy with stuff ..

Thomas- you what ? ... hey all of you hahaha.. our little rookie said he got married and didnt even invite us ..

yoshida - oh .. you've got guts little Ken ..

Steve- you idiot .. even in America people dont marry this early nowadays.. but yes you've got guts to not invite us ..

Ken- sorry everything happened so quickly that I didnt have any time for a ceremony or party .. let's talk later after now I've got to report to pitching coach ..

Thomas- pitching coach ? .. you idiot I almost forgot ... the head coach asked for you . he said its urgent so go quickly..

( Thomas , Steve and yoshida are bench members and 3 of them are middle relief pitchers )

( a while later in head coachs office)

head coach - oh .. you came Ken.. sit down ..

Ken- yes sir .

head coach - good . the matter is simple, I just wanted to inform you that I got an order from owner side to use you as today's starting pitcher ..

Ken- thank you sir .. ( grateful)

head coach - you know , this confidence and attitude was the reason I recruited you myself . skills can just be polished later after becoming a pro but confidence and attitude of a pro are rarely present in a rookie from the start .. go just shock the crowd today night .. oh yea .. based on your results today I will decide how to use you in future games ..

Ken- thank you sir for the chance . you just leave it to me .. ( confident )

( head coachs name is Sato and he was a veteran slugger before retirement with highest 330 million yen annual contract for 2 consecutive years )

( at night in the dugout of Tokyo giants )

head coach - okay.. so today first game of season .. just win and make proud . Ken, go and show the Osaka gunners batters hell ..

Ken - sir ..

( later on the mound )

commentator ( tokunaga San) - huh .. Tokyo giants starter pitcher is Ken senshu ... what do you think about this eikichi San..

special guest ( eikichi Sam former pro pitcher ) - hm.. looks like Tokyo giants head coach wants to test whether Ken the golden rookie of this year can be of any use in pro baseball games . hmm.. but to put him against last years league top batting order from Osaka gunners.. looks like Tokyo giants really trust Ken senshu which is rare for a rookie . .

( hmm.. what top batting order .. they are just a bunch of batters who scored a lot of runs from second rate pitchers ... I'm not even going to let them advance to first base much less a hit . my first game and as a starter at that , I would be just an idiot if I still cannot figure out the high expectations of owner for me .. so let's strike some batters out . )

1st batter - ( in the batter box ) ( huh .. a rookie against us heh .. they sure underestimate me . we got all his data already, coachs orders are to hit the in course only.. . come throw a meatball rookie hehehehe .. fastball ... fastball )

( huh .. this idiot is waiting for a in course fastball hehehe.. then let's give him some in course sliders . .. hehehe.. these types of opponent coaches are really easy . such precise orders to his players . well they are very useful to me so thank you opponent coach.. )

commentator- oh .. Ken senshu struck out the last batter and change sides .. looks like Ken senshu got a remarkable start of his pro career .. huh .. first batter of Tokyo giants is also Ken senshu .. what does this mean eikichi San?

special guest - hmm.. well you see , I have watched all the matches of koshien stadium this year .. Ken senshu couldn't get the best batter award but his hitting average is outstanding 100 % . I think most people will not recognize this achievement because of seido high school coach's orders , Ken senshu only appeared in a total of 8 at bats and most of them were critical situations where team needed a run at all costs . and this kiseki no ace hit home run in every bat .. I think that his title kiseki no ace is not only because of his pitching achievements but batting achievements too ... so head coach must trust this young man a lot..

commentator- first pitch strike , second pitch ah . .. Ken senshu hit the ball .. it's going.. going . . home run .. what a remarkable debut this young player has showed today ..

( after a while)

commentator- what a surprise .. what a man .. Tokyo giants Ken senshu pitched 6 full innings from the start and didnt allow a single runner on first base ...

( after a while )

commentator- what a monster rookie has appeared in Japans pro baseball world .. the last koshien hero , kiseki no ace continues his winning streak even in the pro baseball game . he pitches a no hit no runner in his debut game against Osaka gunners the last league champions and gains spotlight.... hahaha.. what a fantastic night it has been today ..
