The Team Name Will Be...The Little Busters.Awakened early in the morning by someone announcing the return of Kyousuke Natsume, Riki Naoe goes to stop his roommate Masato Inohara from having a friendly duel Kengo Miyazawa. When Riki asks Kyousuke to intercede, Kyousuke tells them to fight only with objects thrown from the crowd of onlookers. Kyousuke's younger sister Rin Natsume disapproves when Masato tries to use a white cat as his weapon, causing Kengo to lose interest. Riki reminisces how he has been friends with Kyousuke, Masato, Kengo and Rin since childhood when they brought him into their group called the Little Busters. Riki later suggests that the five of them do something together like they used to, and Kyousuke proposes that they play baseball under the team name the Little Busters. Kengo immediately excuses himself from this, as he has to prepare for a kendo tournament. Later that night, Kyousuke dispatches Rin to the girls' dormitory to try recruiting new members. After a few failed attempts, Rin is confronted by Sasami Sasasegawa and three other members of the softball team, though Rin ends up losing the fight. The next day, as Riki tries recruiting new members, he follows a girl up to the school's roof.
