Chapter 7: When?

Even under the stares of the opposing second baseman, Kuramochi did not run to the third base.

This is awkward.

The second baseman of Konan High School had obviously never met such a troublesome guy as Kuramochi.

It is conceivable that if the second baseman of Konan High School passed the ball to the third base, Kuramochi would definitely jump back to the third base.

And if the second baseman of Konan High School turned around and stepped on the second base's bag.

Kuramochi will directly steal home plate.

It's so tough!

Facing such a tough Kuramochi, the second baseman of Konan High School felt that his brain was hurting.

The original joy of being able to win the double play was gone at this moment.

"Pass it to me!"

Time did not stop, and Isashiki was still desperately running to first base.

Kominato Ryosuke is also running to second base.

When the second baseman of Konan High School was about to grit his teeth and make a move, a voice clearing the hesitation suddenly appeared behind him.

He is the shortstop!

The second baseman of Konan High School was relieved, turned his head, and passed the ball back to the shortstop of Konan High School.

right now, the shortstop from Konan High School had already run to second base and was covering up.

At the moment when the second baseman of Konan High School turned to pass the ball, Kuramochi moved!

He was like a sports car that suddenly started to full power, and instantly accelerated his entire body to the limit!

Fast!

As if a white and blue light and shadow swept across the stadium, Kuramochi rushed with all his strength, causing the audience to be amazed!

"What is this?"

"Damn it, do Seidou's players run so fast?"

"This guy shouldn't play baseball, he should be a run and track athlete!"

Accompanied by the surprise of the audience, Kuramochi ran all the way to the home plate.

Now, the shortstop of Konan High School had also received the ball, which was considered to have blocked Kominato Ryosuke.

He witnessed the entire process of Kuramochi stealing home plate.

'You devious little shit!'

"Don't underestimate us!"

The ball, like a laser beam, crossed a distance of tens of meters from the second base in an instant and appeared in the catcher's Mitt.

SNAP!

The ball was passed quickly and accurately, and the catcher caught the ball without even changing his standing position.

From this point of view, it is not difficult to see the Konan High School players have honed their basic skills very solidly.

The catcher from Konan High School immediately turned around to find Kuramochi after catching the ball, but he didn't find a shadow of Kuramochi…

'Where did he go?'

He looked back strangely, and it turned out that Kuramochi had come around to the side of his body at some point.

'When?'

The catcher of Konan High School was completely dumbfounded.

Except for the moment he caught the ball, his eyes never left Kuramochi.

How could Kuramochi suddenly…

Kuramochi stomped on home plate after bypassing the catcher.

"SAFE!"

Score!!

In the opening game of Koshien, the two top tyrant teams collided with each other.

The total score is 1:0

Seidou High School is in the lead.

The situation is one Out, runner at first base.

It was the turn of the fourth batter of Seidou High School Yuuki Tetsuya.

"Oooooooooooooooooooo!!!"

After Kuramochi returned to the home plate first, tens of thousands of fans in the entire stand couldn't help roaring along!

Such a feast of speed a score in a critical situation is eye-catching.

In the rest area of ​​Konan High School, Coach Mukai had a confused expression on his face.

Can anyone tell him what happened just now?

In the stands, the reporters Fujio and Owada of "Baseball Kingdom" magazine got the opportunity to interview at Koshien.

"So fast!" Akiko muttered to herself.

No one knows if she was talking about Kuramochi or the change in the situation on the field.

Fujio didn't talk to her, he was just very serious, watching both sides of the game, especially the team of Seidou High School.

'Since Sawamura-kun joined, this year's Seidou High School baseball team has been called the strongest generation of Seidou High School baseball team in the past 20 years.'

This point was recognized after they won the championship of the Kanto Tournament.

'But the strongest Seidou team is not necessarily the strongest team in All Japan! Especially in this era of great talent, what position can Seidou High School stand in the national competition? There has never been an objective statement.'

'The team that was able to win the Kanto Championship must have the top strength in the country and the potential for the National Championship!'

But now the situation is a bit special. In that Kanto Tournament, many teams did not do their best.

Again, nationwide, the Kanto region is not as strong as before.

The tyrants in other regions of the country are springing up like mushrooms after a rain.

Like Okinawa Konan High School that are currently competing with Seidou High School.

The previous results they have are also very impressive.

Only an opponent of this level can really measure the position of Seidou High School Nationally.

Moreover, the results were astounding!

The pitching of the Demon-King Sawamura Eijun directly showed the crushing might.

On the other hand, Seidou High School's lineup is also very good.

Even when they did not get a hit, they still scored and put more pressure on the opponent.

'If this is not due to the poor state of Konan High School, then the level of Seidou High School is terrifying!'

They can actually crush the nation's tyrants!

As the game continued, Tetsuya entered the strike zone.

One Out, runner at first base.

On the strike zone, Yuuki the bat in his hand and raised it high.

He is ready to swing in a very relaxed stance. It was as if there was nowhere in the body where it was particularly stiffened.

Moreover, the position on the Box is also normal.

From his stance and position, you cannot tell at all what kind of ball is he trying to aim at.

'Really annoying!'

The catcher of Konan High School frowned subconsciously.

This was the most uncomfortable of all the opponents he had ever seen after standing on the strike zone.

'He can't even find a decent adjective for this uncomfortable feeling.'

It's just a feeling, it feels like no matter where the pitcher throws the ball, the batter is going to hit it.

To deal with such an opponent, one must be cautious.

'It doesn't matter if he gets four Ball, the ball must go to the corner!'

Thinking about it, the catcher of Konan High School gave a sign to his own pitcher, Torajiro.

However, Torajiro's state is very strange right now.

His eyes seemed to be staring at prey.

This was the complete opposite of the cowardice he had shown before.

'It is here!'

Seeing Torajiro's expression, the catcher of Konan High School secretly shouted out in his mind.

'This guy is going crazy again!'

Torajiro, who uses ball control as a weapon, is likely to enter a strange state once faced with an opponent that particularly interests him.

His performance in games before won him the title he is famous for now.

Tiger of Okinawa!
