The Parents Association have been calling for the baseball team to be dissolved and Principal Mita agrees. However, news of the heroic deeds done by Ryo and the unknown fact that her father used to also visit the orphanage soon reaches the parents. This causes many of the parents to withdraw from dissolving the team. Having been told that she can ask for anything for her 16th birthday, she requests that her father not dissolve the team, even if she does not get to play. At the general meeting, Mita announces that he will be withdrawing the motion to dissolve the baseball team and Ryo's expulsion.
