Princess Nine

The chairwoman at the Kisaragi School for Girls has determined that there will be a girls' baseball team and that they will go to Koshien within three years. Ryo is offered one of the scholarships issued to build this team.

Ryo is accepted into Kisaragi School but worried about leaving her mother to run the Oden bar by herself.

Coach Kido has been told that one of their recruits, Seira Morimura, has refused to join the team.

Coach Kido goes to the Oden bar and shows Ryo a tape of a baseball player with a famous batting technique called the Wave Motion Swing.

None of the players can catch Ryo's pitches and so a search for a catcher begins.

With only two more girls needed to complete the team, Ryo asks Izumi to join and is greeted with scorn.

Izumi searches for the identity of the mysterious man but gets no answers from her mother's butler or from Coach Kido.

The day of the contest has arrived. Izumi is near defeat but Ryo can't keep thinking about why she hates her so much.

The girls are playing against a junior high team but they are still short one player. The coach introduces Nene in a player's uniform so that they can compete.

Keiko appeals her case to the board directly so that they may let the girls play but is refused again.
