Chapter 105: The Devil Brother strikes again!

The sunshine in May is not as hot as summer, nor is it a bit cool as autumn.

It's warm and comfortable.

People like spring outings just because the weather is good. You rarely hear people say that some people like summer travel or winter travel.

Today is also a good day. The sun shines on people, which is warm and makes people want to sleep.

This comfortable sun shines on the Players of Hakuryu High School, but they don't have the heart to enjoy it.

In the seating area opposite to them.

The batters from Seidou High School are already gearing up, ready to attack.

Kuramochi Yoichi, Kominato Ryosuke, Isashiki Jun, Yuuki Tatsuya, Sawamura Eijun, Masuko Toru, Miyuki Kazuya, Shiratsu Kenjiro, Sakai Ichirou.

Looking at this kind of lineup, you will feel it's not easy to mess with these guys.

When these people stood together, the surging momentum exuded from them was as if they were going to devour people alive.

And it's not the same as it felt at first.

In the beginning, the two sides hadn't played against each other, even if they knew that their opponent was strong, they didn't have a personal experience. But it's different now. Not only do they know that the other party is strong, but they also experience it themselves. That kind of heavy pressure is even more frightening.

This is the feeling these players in the current Hakuryu High School have right now.

It is precisely because they have seen the strength of Seidou High School's batters that they are even more frightened. Can they really hold these guys down for three or four more innings?

The score was 4:2, and Hakuryu High School was two points ahead. Usually, this should be a bit reassuring, but right now they were not sure of winning.

Before going to the field, they even hesitated.

Superintendent Sasaki, who was on the side, saw his own players. Except for Mima, everyone else was more or less stiff.

'Sawamura just played for one inning, did he bring so much pressure to everyone?'

The opponent's pitcher pitches well, so that there is no hope of easy scoring on the line, and pressure will naturally arise in the team. When this happens, the opponent's advantage will be continuously enlarged.

Except for star players like Mima, even if others have good strength, it is difficult to keep up with their mentality.

'This game is tough!'

Sasaki pinched the stopwatch, nervous to death, but boosting morale was really not what he was good at.

"Senpai, look at you!"

Just when Sasaki was at a loss, he saw Mima running to the Pitcher and said to Miyano.

Miyano's originally tense expression suddenly relaxed.

"In the finals in Kanto, we have no way out, let's fight!"

Eyes widened, Miyano said in a firm tone: "I will throw the ball with all my strength. To be honest, I can't say whether I can suppress Seidou's batters. In short, the defense behind me is up to everyone."

'Miyano-senpai!'

The Hakuryu's players looked at Miyano who seemed to be risking everything, and there was an inexplicable trace of fighting spirit flowing from his body.

'Fight!'

When the Giants fight against each other, the field has always become red.

Since Seidou wanted to work hard, they also took out their courage to play with Seidou's players.

Facing the pressure that Seidou put on them, they returned it back too.

In the second half of the third inning, Seidou High School attacked.

"First Pitch, shortstop, Kuramochi."

Kuramochi stood on the right-hand Box.

After Takehara glanced at him, he guessed in his mind.

'Want to strike normally?'

'Then with the first ball let's aim for the inside corner.'

Ping!

Throwing the ball there, Kuramochi quickly made a bunt to intercept it. The small white ball was knocked out by the bat, and Kuramochi rushed to first base.

"Don't think about it!"

Kuramochi's strategy was right, he had deceived Takehara, but he had not deceived Kitaooji. Before, Kitaooji was surprised by Kuramochi's speed, even if he was standing on the right-handed Box, Kitaooji was wary of him using bunts early in the fight.

So, before Kuramochi bunted, Kitaooji started running.

Pick up the ball first and send it to first base. At this time, Miyano was already at the first base.

SNAP!

"OUT!"

Kuramochi failed to hit base again.

"Damn!"

This feeling was too annoying for Kuramochi. Twice on base in a row! If he had known it earlier, he would have hit it normally.

Kuramochi was depressed, but the people at Hakuryu High School were happy.

"Beautiful fielding."

"Stealing the base in front of Hakuryu High School, you are still a hundred years early."

"Hakuryu, Hakuryu!!!"

One Out, no one on base.

It's the second batter, Kominato Ryosuke.

After Kominato Ryosuke stood in the strike zone, his performance was no different from before.

Ordinary stance, ordinary batting stance.

But it was this ordinary stance that gave Takehara a headache.

In Seidou High School, the strong batters are like Yuuki, and the cunning batters are like Sawamura and Miyuki. These are actually easy to handle. The way to handle them is simple and straightforward, and the Hakuryu High School also dealt with their fair share of these kinds of batters.

You are a Famous School, and we are also a Famous School. It's not a big deal.

No one can say who will win.

But Kominato Ryosuke is different. This guy is more difficult to deal with than Yuuki, Miyuki, and Sawamura.

Continuously hitting the ball out of bounds, deliberately draining the pitcher's pitches, forcing the pitcher to throw four Ball Pitches.

Takehara had never heard of such a person before, but he has seen it now.

And he is their opponent!

'Headache, headache to death.'

Takehara looked at Kominato Ryosuke with bad eyes, and the more he looked, the more he felt that Kominato Ryosuke hated him.

'Playing against him, the most important thing is the power of the ball, so that he can't let the ball fly out of bounds easily.'

'Like that, his swinging will be hard.'

Takehara gave Miyano a sign, and Miyano nodded secretly when he saw the sign.

Then he pitched the ball.

In the face of this ball, Kominato Ryosuke swung the bat directly.

Ping!

The small white ball was hit, passed through the gap of the fielders, landed, and flew out to the outfield.

Unlike the first round, Ryosuke chose a direct hit this time.
