The last episode of Catch Me At The Ballpark!, also known as The Catcher In The Ballpark, introduced Murata as a tired office worker who finds relief at the baseball stadium. During one game, he meets Ruriko, a spirited beer vendor who surprises him with her bold teasing and energetic demeanor.

She’s proud to have served her first customer—Murata. Their encounters continue, leading to him becoming her regular. Later, Ruriko helps a lost girl, Miku, leading to security guard Takimoto remembering how his partner helped him in a similar manner. He now feels a renewed sense of purpose in his job.
