Plot
With the start of the second year, she and Risa Fujiwara keep the field and equipment in good shape and visit Yomi Takeda and the other girls while they practice. Eventually Yomi approaches them, but they explain that the team was quite strong, but all left after the scandal. As they take it seriously and not just for fun, they are playing with other teams and league in order to be able to continue playing in college. Rei tells them they can form a new team with new students, however as they were about to leave, Yomi asks Rei if she can hit her pitch and to think of it as "passing on the torch". Rei accepts if that is going to make them leave them.

They get in the field and Yomi throws a fastball, but Rei doesn't move and Yomi scores a strike. Yomi then throws her Magic Ball, Rei swings and misses, realizing it isn't an ordinary curveball, but believes she saw the path and can hit it next time. Yomi then throws a ball and Rei doesn't swing again. Yomi wants to make a bet that the loser have to do whatever the winner wants and Rei accepts. Rei recalls how they were treated in the club, how they kept the field and equipment in shape for six months and how much she wants to play baseball. As Yomi throws, Rei hits the ball, sending it into the center field where Ibuki is unable to catch it. Rei then explains that is her position and if she was there, she would have catch it, so the win is theirs. As they won, Yomi asks Rei and Risa to play in the team with them and they agree.
