chapter 79

Night.

The two brothers came to a green net to practice their blows.

But.

Basically, Ryosuke sits next to the net and throws the ball to Haruichi to hit.

It is worth mentioning...

This went on for more than an hour...

But!

Haruichi cherishes the time he spends with his brother!

So!

Despite the exhaustion!

Haruichi didn't have the slightest idea of stopping!

...

The other side.

Sawamura is practicing inside corner kicks.

It was still Kanamaru standing in the strike zone fully armed.

The name is good: it is easier to improve ball control in real combat.

Huh——

The baseball rushed to Kanamaru's waist.

Looked at.

Kanamaru was so frightened that he retreated again and again.

"This guy's ball is too messy!"

Chris smiled heartily.

"It's normal to run around..."

"After all, even Sawamura himself doesn't know where the ball will turn..."

Chris retracted his thoughts and passed the ball to Sawamura.

At the same time: "Sawamura, next use four sutures to straighten the ball!" "

Sawamura replied decisively, "Yes!" "

But...

It was very cheerful to agree.

But for the four-suture straight ball, Sawamura is not very familiar.

So it took a while to adjust the grip.

If only so.

It's not a big deal.

The point is that after it took more than ten seconds to adjust, Sawamura actually let out a smug laugh.

This made Chris both helpless and tired.

But...

And there is no way to ignore Sawamura...

"Against the inside corner kick of a left-handed batter, is this an exercise with Akikawa's batting lineup as an imaginary opponent?"

Suddenly, Coach Kataoka came over.

"Will ... General..."

Sawamura looked startled.

"Who is the general!"

A 'well' character popped up on Kataoka's forehead.

However, he was also used to Sawamura's strange words, so he didn't care too much.

"Hey!"

"Give me the bat and helmet!"

Kataoka walked near the strike zone and said to Kanamaru.

Based on the majesty of the coach on weekdays.

Causing Kanamaru to subconsciously hand over his helmet and bat.

But after coming back to his senses.

Kanamaru was suddenly taken aback.

"Teach..."

"Coach..."

"It's dangerous to wear only a helmet!"

"This left-handed pitcher throws balls, but he will twist around!!"

Coach Kataoka: "It's okay! "

The words fell.

He turned to look at Sawamura, who had not yet started pitching.

"What's wrong?"

"Hurry up and vote!"

"Is it because you are afraid of hitting me?"

"Where did the courage you just practiced go?"

See this scene.

Kanamaru couldn't help but gasp.

"Wow..."

"I feel so much pressure watching from the side..."

"But..."

"But..."

"If you can be under this pressure..."

"If you throw an inside corner accurately..."

The corners of Sawamura's mouth twitched.

Without the slightest hesitation, he held the ball above his head.

"Hey!"

"I really dare to vote!"

Kanemaru's eyes widened in horror.

If it was him, I am afraid that he would not even have the strength to lift the ball high.

But what about Sawamura?

Not only prepared before pitching!

He could even laugh, the so-called pressure did not seem to have the slightest effect on him!

"I'm going to vote!"

...

At the same time.

On the school road of seido.

Asad and Fujiwara Takako took a walk here.

"If you think about it, since entering seido, I haven't seen the school properly."

Asad said while looking at the surrounding environment.

"As soon as you have time, you run to the baseball field to practice, of course you don't have time to watch."

Fujiwara Takako looked at Asad with a little distress and said.

As a baseball manager.

She should be the first to arrive and the last to leave.

After all, every day before training.

Prepare what you need.

After training.

It's about putting away all kinds of things.

However...

Since Asad entered the baseball department...

The first to arrive at the stadium is always Asad, and the last to leave is also Asad...

"That's true, too."

Asad nodded.

Then said helplessly: "But no way, without spending more time practicing (making appearances), I can't have the strength I have now." "

That is, because the world is close to reality.

Therefore, after Asad exposed his poor ball control ability, even if he got the national level ball control power, he did not dare to show it immediately.

But.

The impact is not very big.

Because I had just entered the school at that time, there was still a long time before the summer competition.

Therefore, Asad can resist the mood he wants to perform and insist on 'high-intensity' training every day.

Speaking up.

Privately do 'high-intensity' training.

This also allowed Asad to show an extremely mature fast finger fork ball and bullet ball, and no one would suspect that Asad had suddenly mastered it.

Everyone will only feel.

It must be the result of Asad's practice in private for a long time.

...

Under the moonlight.

Asad took advantage of the chat with Fujiwara Takako and took the initiative to come to Fujiwara Takako's side.

Takako Fujiwara didn't move to the side either, and didn't seem to notice?

But this is clearly impossible!

And with the tacit cooperation of the two sides that did not explicitly ...

The two sides can almost be said to be close to each other and walk around the campus together...

In Asad's opinion.

At this time, you should be able to show your heart a little.

But let's do it...

He has never taken the initiative to pursue girls...

Worried that the blunt opening will only disturb Takako Fujiwara...

So.

Tangled for a long time.

Asad temporarily gave up the idea of confessing.

Never mind!

Just let it be!

Asad believes that after a long time of getting along, the feelings will inevitably ferment more intensely!

At that time.

No confession is required.

The relationship between the two will naturally change from a friend to a couple.

...

Following.

July 23rd.

9:30 a.m.

Fuchu Citizen Stadium.

The fourth round of the Nishi-Tokyo Grand Prix.

The first one.

Seido vs Akikawa.

"It's so hot—"

"That's the temperature at 9 o'clock?"

"It's going to be hotter next, right?"

Everyone in seido, who had completed warming up, felt that the surface of their bodies was about to be burned.

Thereupon.

Everyone hurried to the shade.

Of course.

In hot weather.

Even places where there is no sunlight are still a little uncomfortable.

But at least it's within tolerable range.

"The tactics are just as they are told at the meeting."

"Don't forget to confirm the code."

Coach Kataoka stood in front of everyone and opened his mouth to remind.

"Yes!!"

Everyone answered in unison.

Kataoka: "People who hydrate more, make benches, and help the players warm up." "

"The next game will require the hard work of all the team members to win!"

Seido everyone: "Yes!! "

Kataoka: "Furuya!" Remember to warm up! "

Furuya: "Yes!" "

Asad and the others were not surprised.

This is something that was known at last night's meeting.

As for why Asad was not allowed to be the starting pitcher...

The main thing is that Coach Kataoka feels that Asad has been tempered enough.

So at this time, you should let Furuya also feel the pressure of the starting pitcher!

That's the only way!

Only then Furuya can you get greater progress!
