After the game, Todoroki Raichi came over to shake hands.
"Next time... next time..." Kōshū was approached so aggressively, and his first reaction was to frown. He thought that such an arrogant guy on the court would probably be a thorn in his side, but he didn't expect to run into a pair of red and swollen eyes and hesitant words.
'How pitiful, this guy must have been crying for a long time, thinking it was all his fault. ' Everyone thought, looking expectantly at the sensible person Kōshū.
Holding the hand behind his back, Kōshū, with everyone watching, seriously said to the child who had just stopped crying, "I will continue to strike you out next time." There was no sarcasm in that look, as if what he just said was a huge comfort.
Raichi couldn't hold back his tears immediately. He clearly had a fighting spirit in his heart because of these words, but his eyes refused to obey, showing weakness.
"Hey, hey, hey, take this guy away quickly!" Isashiki gently put his arms around his junior's neck and pulled Dugout back roughly.
The opponent's ace also pulled his four sticks back to their Dugout, "Hooray, hooray, don't embarrass yourself on the court, hey, don't rub your snot on me!!"
As he was dragged back to Dugout, Kōshū saw someone waving to him in his auditorium, "Ah, it's mom and the others."
So Kōshū, which had just come out of Players' Tunnel, was seamlessly handed over to Shen Qing by Takashima Rei.
"The dog has received a lot of care at Seido Baseball Club. Thank you very much."
"Everywhere, it all depends on his own efforts and talent. We are very grateful to Mr. Kōshū for joining us."
The two women greeted each other endlessly. Lang Zhi, Kōshū and Mr. Sasaki all stood together peacefully like women's bags placed on the ground.
"Are Qianxue and You at home?" Such hot weather is not suitable for children to go out.
Mr. Sasaki nodded, smiling from ear to ear, "Yeah, but it's really magical. Seeing you wearing Seido's team uniform and standing on that Pitcher's Mound, it's such a magical feeling."
Seeing his father excitedly tossing and turning and only saying "magic", Lang Zhi quietly curled his lips behind his back. It was fine when the family was united in public, but now it's just family members, and they feel isolated. Both mother and father will only focus on the brother who is in the limelight.
"By the way, Lang Zhi, have you seen that Todoroki Raichi? His body is about the same as yours, but his swing speed is very fast. In this case, it is difficult for ordinary pitchers to deal with him." Kōshū brought the topic to his younger brother.
Finally, Mr. Sasaki turned his attention to his own son. "Ah, so it seems, but Lang Zhi will grow taller in the future. Do you drink milk well?"
"Yeah, I drink it every day."
"I testify that the seniors like to have gatherings in his dormitory. Every time I go there, I can see him drinking milk."
"Oh - good job, Lang Zhi, you have a good relationship with your seniors now." Mr. Sasaki was worried that the experience of the junior high school soft ball club would have a psychological impact on Lang Zhi.
"... Then I won't disturb you. Let's leave first. We will send the two children back in the evening."
The two ladies finally finished their pleasantries, and the family could finally have a meal together.
Halfway towards the car, Kōshū suddenly realized something was wrong, and secretly said to Lang Zhi, "Did you see, mommy put on makeup today."
"Yeah, yeah." Lang Zhi nodded, "In this case, I remember when I visited Seido before, she was uncharacteristically posing there..."
The two brothers looked at each other and figured out the mystery.
"What are you two brothers talking about over there?"
"No, no, no," they both shook their heads and looked at each other, "Women's competitiveness is really scary, don't you think so." '
At this moment, in front of Seido's bus, Eijun was looking for someone. "Oh no, my brother is, ah, I should say, he finally has his day. He is really lost!"
Furuya nodded in cooperation, but Haruichi had a dark look on his face, "Don't speak so loudly, Kōshū's mother is here, and their family wants to reunite."
"Eh? Is this a Chinese custom?" Eijun still doesn't understand the consequences of not acting together with the group after such a game, but the seniors who heard their conversation began to gear up.
"Kōshū This kid is really laid-back. It seems like he needs to go back to school and give him some extra practice."
"Ah ha, don't be so scary. That guy's actions are also allowed by the supervision." Kuramochi deliberately lit a fire nearby.
"This mama's boy usually seems so reliable, but he turns out to be such a person."
"But his mother is quite pretty."
"Yeah, I think so too." The topic suddenly changed.
"So, did Kōshū inherit the characteristics of his father? Haha, actually, if you look carefully, he is also a handsome guy." Kominato Ryosuke, the second person to start the fire, and Kuramochi once again completed a perfect second game.
"Damn it, he's tall, he's okay-looking, he's liked by so many girls, and his pitching is so-so. The only thing this guy lacks is the care of his seniors." Isashiki couldn't hold it anymore.
Therefore, Kōshū had just finished warm-up the next day and was dragged to practice with the seniors.
"Come on, Kōshū, this Pitcher's Mound, which is five centimeters taller, is specially prepared for you."
"The pitcher who came off the field was 1.95 meters tall. At this point, it seems that we lost."
"Yeah, so just to practice what's really going on, let's hit your balls."
Kōshū was tormented by his seniors all morning before Kataoka Manager took over.
Seido's final opponent was Sensen High School, and after that, it was the finals. Inami was waiting for them there. After careful consideration, the Seido coaching team also determined the policy for the next game.
"In the next game against Xianquan, we will use a thorough Rotation System. Every pitcher has a chance to play. I will choose the timing to change pitches according to the situation, but Kōshū, next game you will be Starting Left Field. This is the last training time before the finals. After crossing Inami, we will have a very intensive game, and the strength of each pitcher is very needed."
"Hi!"*5
"Then the fielding staff must give enough support to the pitchers and use the bats to win."
"Hi!"
The practice time flies by. In this short interval, Tanba is enhancing the power of the straight ball and increasing the speed. Furuya is being trained. Changeup, Eijun still mainly controls the ball stably, Kawakami increasingly feels that his position in Dugout is threatened, and actively proposes to restart the sinker, but what about Kōshū?
"Onii-sama, what are you doing at the net?" He didn't even shoot a ball for a long time.
"Don't worry about him, he's doing imagination exercises." Miyuki put down his mask and urged the opposite pitcher, "Pitch quickly. I need to confirm the status of each pitcher. I'm very busy."
Kōshū turned his back to everyone, and the net in front of him slowly changed into the Home Plate that day, with the hot atmosphere, the majestic bat, and the Raichi on Batter's Box staring at him very aggressively, so what was he thinking at the time?
