Arrival

"Hey, Senpai, do you have any information about our opponent?" - Daigo asked Shun. The two were sitting next to each other on the bus so Shun could go over the game plan with the young catcher.

"No..." - Shun replied, a bit regretful. Since Shoto Junior High's first-round opponent was from another prefecture, Shun only knew their name: Matsubara Junior High School.

"Just stick to the game plan, and everything will work out. We'll score a few runs early so you and Sora can settle in!" - Shun said with a confident smile, giving Daigo a light punch on the chest. Even though Shun was a bit nervous about facing an opponent they knew nothing about, he tried his best to inspire confidence in the young catcher.

"Got it!" - Daigo replied with a smile. After the Tokyo Tournament, he fully trusted almost everything Shun said about baseball. After all, it was his senpai's strategies that allowed him to handle Shoto's three exotic pitchers during the summer.
