When he became a high school student, he always stood alone after school looking sadly at the baseball ground. Looking at him, Aiki, a captain of a soccer club invited him to his team. He hadn’t played soccer, but he was a good athlete and diligent, soon, he become so a good player as to be chosen a regular member. However, Aiki noticed that Takao couldn’t give up baseball and he made Takao join the baseball club. At first, he couldn’t adapt himself to the surroundings.
