Little Busters! Refrain Episode 9 English Dubbed Episode Title:A Friend's Tears.Episode Description:Riki learns from Masato that Kengo originally joined the Little Busters after Kyousuke defeated Kengo's father in a kendo match. When Riki tries to convince Kengo to rejoin the Little Busters, Kengo claims that it is pointless to convince him. After Riki visits Kyousuke, who hints that Kengo is lying about something, Riki realizes that Kengo's right arm is not injured as he claims. Riki and Masato encourage Riki to challenge Kengo to a home run match under the condition that Kengo rejoins the Little Busters if Riki wins. After two strikes and many fouls, Riki manages to land a home run. Rin takes Riki's place due to his exhaustion. However, Rin's pitches are fast but lack control. When she manages to pitch the baseball properly, she succeeds in striking out Kengo, thereby winning the home run match. A flashback shows when Kengo was defeated by Kyousuke in a kendo match before joining the Little Busters. Kengo rejoins the Little Busters, determined to follow Riki as long as he can.
