The fact this is a common anime cliche is noted by Rentarou.
Rentarou offers to practice with her, and she shags ground balls until shes covered in dirt and shaking.
In a rare curveball, Rentarou actually rejects her, only to start vomiting blood profusely.

Kusuri even grants her request to be smacked in the butt with a bat!
Since Rentarou has eight other girlfriends, he asks them if theyll help Iku round out her team.
They wont let her work so hard all by herself anymore.

Theyre a team, in both love and baseball!
