Chapter 24: Ambition

"If it were me, I wouldn't give Furuya any sign."

Miyuki finished speaking.

Everyone looked at him in surprise.

This is the assessment of the main catcher, so it is possible that Miyuki also wants to give up.

Chris looked at Miyuki thoughtfully.

"Tell me what you think."

"Anyway, he's so tired now and will definitely be blown up tomorrow. Besides, the guy has nothing to be used except for the speed of the ball. I want to take advantage of the time when he loses the speed of the ball; let him learn how important it is to have a bit of variety."

Miyuki said with a smirk.

Several seniors in the third grade, looking at Miyuki like this, felt that horns had grown on Miyuki's head, and there were little black wings behind him.

'Devil~'

'This idea is so evil.'

The plan he was suggesting turned out to be taking Furuya out to touch grass.

Chris glanced at Miyuki.

'Knowing that this is a competition, I am afraid that I will lose.'

Seidou's style has always been based on actual combat. No matter what the adjustment is, it is from the perspective of actual combat. Players must do their best!

Only then can the players discover their own problems.

His strategy of leading just now is from the perspective of actual combat.

And he has the confidence to guide Furuya's ball well.

Chris, who looks strict on the surface, actually has a very warm heart. He would take care of others unknowingly. He took care of Sawamura at the beginning, and now he also takes care of Furuya.

This has nothing to do with personal feelings, just Chris's own character.

He can better guide Tanpa, also because of this. Tanpa's personality is too sensitive. Compared with Miyuki's toughness like squeezing toothpaste, he is undoubtedly more suitable for a spring breeze like Chris.

And this time, Miyuki was the same as always.

He fully understood the meaning of practice games.

If you want Furuya to grow up before the summer competition, it is very necessary to make him clearly aware of his problems now. Moreover, Osaka Kiryuu playing this role is more suitable.

Chris also thought of these things. Just with his character, he couldn't do it.

"What about Sawamura?"

Miyuki smiled wryly.

He still has to make a statement.

'Miyauchi-senpai and Chris-senpai used two completely different plans, no matter who I support, it is not good.'

That is the downside of talking third.

"I agree with Chris-senpai. Let Sawamura fight with the Moving ball. But in the last innings, I will let him use various balls, and see what the state of Sawamura's pitching is when he is exhausted. "

Kataoka gave Miyuki a deep look.

"Tomorrow's starting catcher is Miyuki, and Chris will replace him in the last three innings. The plan of pitch calling is as you wish."

"In the games the day after tomorrow, Miyauchi and Kawakami will be against Inashiro. Against Shuuhoku, Chris will be the first six innings, and Miyuki will be the last three innings."

After giving the order, Kataoka turned to look at Miyauchi.

"There are only 20 places in the first string, and when we already have Chris and Miyuki, it is difficult for me to let you play as a catcher. However, considering the harshness of the summer game, the team can keep three catchers in the West Tokyo games. Once at Koshien, we can only keep two catchers. Can you consider another position?"

Kataoka looked at Miyauchi seriously.

Some decisions need to be made by the players themselves.

Although it is difficult for Miyauchi to play as a catcher, his batting strength is good, and the most important thing is his fighting spirit, which Kataoka appreciates very much.

If possible, even in Koshien, Kataoka wanted to take Miyauchi with him.

"Whoo~"

From the nose, two air masses spewed out.

Although he was unwilling, Miyauchi also knew that this was a rare opportunity.

"If I can be regarded as the team's strength, I will."

After making arrangements for the Miyauchi, Kataoka turned to look at the other third graders.

"Tomorrow's opponent is Osaka Kiryuu. It must be a very difficult game. You will also work hard, understand?"

"Yes, sir!"

Yuuki Tetsuya, Isashiki Jun, Kominato Ryosuke, Masuko Toru, and Miyauchi Keisuke responded loudly like hot-blooded warriors.

At the same time.

Kominato Haruichi, who returned to the dormitory early, could not fall asleep no matter what.

Tomorrow is the practice game, but Haruichi knows that it has nothing to do with him.

From the moment when the Coach asked him to go off the field and Eijun-kun asked for permission to play, Kominato knew that he had no chance to go to the next level and occupy the main position.

"The Coach is also kind, afraid that you will get hurt."

His brother's words made it even more difficult for him to calm down.

For a long time, the young Kominato couldn't sleep.

"Are you still awake?"

Suddenly, at the door of the dormitory, there was a shout from the senior Maezono.

Um?

Kominato Haruichi looked up at the Maezono in confusion.

"Come and help me see my swing. I always feel like my swing has a bit of a catch."

There are fine beads of sweat on the forehead of Maezono.

Apparently, he was training before, too.

It was only a few hours ago that he was carried off the field because he was exhausted, and now he is alive and well again.

"Eh? Isn't there a practice game Tomorrow?"

Kominato Haruichi muttered.

"Don't be stupid, tomorrow is the main stage, and it's not our turn at all."

"That..."

Maezono's tone was somewhat dissatisfied.

"Unlike you, Kataoda-senpai and I have a very small hope. But people without strength, shouldn't they work harder? I'm not willing to be unable to play the game all the time. My ambition is bigger than the universe!"

Holding the bat, the Maezono walked out.

At this time, his back figure became extremely tall in the eyes of Haruichi.

Yes, since there is no strength, it is necessary to work harder.

"I'll go as well!"

There was no more confusion in Kominato Haruichi's eyes, and he even picked up his wooden bat.

Maezono frowned: "Idiot, didn't you exhaust your stamina when you practiced on defense? Don't continue to practice."

Kominato Haruichi is different from him. His body is too thin.

Overtraining can be harmful.

"I'm not satisfied. I'm just a substitute!"

The three people who practiced together, Kataoda and Maezono, were almost certain to be eliminated because they had no obvious advantage. But there is hope for Kominato to stay.

His Batting is amazing.

And Kominato Haruichi was not satisfied because of this and would continue to work hard.

Challenge his brother, Kominato Ryosuke.

In Seidou High School, where the light cannot shine, there are still many figures of hard work.

Toujou and Kanemaru were not depressed either. They were also in the dark, working silently and waiting for opportunities.

***

After a night of silence, the next day, the opponent of Seidou High School came.

Osaka Kiryuu High School!

Sawamura's body was still aching.

Yesterday's practice was so crazy it hurt like death all over his body.

Not only him but everyone else as well.

The body is aching.

In this state, they will face the Finalist team of Koshien.
