[Otonashi, Hinata, and Yui are looking for Shiina in the gym storage room to recruit for their baseball team.]
Shiina! Where are you? Come on out! Shiina! [Notices her hiding behind a wall.] Huh?
What is it?
I was looking for you. You've got great reflexes, right?
I wouldn't know about all that.
I know you'd be great for the team! It's baseball! Let's play baseball!
Ever since that day, I keep running it over and over in my head how I could've lost to that newbie.
Are you talking about the operation "Parachute" to the Guild? Otonashi's become a legend because he was the only survivor.
Oh, come on. I was just lucky.
I just don't get it. I should be stronger than you in every possible way.
I bet.
But if I was inferior to you in any way, it would be in concentration.
Nah, I think you have way better concentration than me.
Ever since that day, [Appears fully from behind the wall, balancing a broom with one finger.] I've been balancing this stupid broom on the tip of my finger!
[Whispering, to Hinata] She's a moron.
[Whispering] Yeah, but she's a powerful moron.
[To Otonashi] It's perfect timing; let's fight, kid.
How can we fight when you're holding a broom?
Through baseball, of course! Just see who gets voted "Most Valuable Player" or something. But you guys can't fight one on one!
Hm. Very well then.
[To Shiina] I don't have to balance a broom, do I?
Of course not. This will make the gap in our concentration levels obvious.
Okay then, it's settled!
It seems we're recruiting nothing but morons!
