"Curly hair? Su Qing? Why does Su Qing know Sawamura?" Miyuki wondered. He originally thought Chen Xin had told Su Qing, but looking at Chen Xin's expression today, it was as if he had just found out that Su Qing had also come to Japan. He probably didn't know him, so how did Su Qing know Sawamura?
Sawamura clearly hasn't had an official appearance record yet, and his reputation is completely inferior to Furuya. If anyone were to know him, it should be Furuya. It's very strange. Oh well, I'll ask Chen Xin later if he told him.
"The three people just now, the blond one is Inajitsu's Ace pitcher Narumiya Mei, who is also Kanto's Number One Left-Handed Pitcher. He is our number one strong enemy. The sturdy one is Inajitsu's main catcher Harada Masaru. And that curly-haired one, like you, is a freshman pitcher who just came to Inajitsu. He's a Fastball pitcher whose ball speed is not weaker than Furuya's at all. He's also a very troublesome opponent."
"Kanto's Number One Left-Handed Pitcher?! Him?!"
Sawamura didn't believe it at all. As a fellow left-handed pitcher, his pride made him unwilling to agree. And Su Qing was ignored by him. What's so great about Furuya? Isn't it just that his ball speed is a little faster?
Miyuki patted Sawamura's shoulder and said:
"When your control is half as good as Narumiya Mei's, I'll laugh in my dreams."
The little angel immediately exploded.
"What's wrong with my control? At least I can throw into the Strike Zone!"
He secretly mocked Furuya, who still couldn't throw into the Strike Zone.
"Narumiya Mei can throw a Nine-Panel Grid, half of his is probably a Four-Panel Grid, but you're still far from a Four-Panel Grid."
"Nine-Panel Grid!"
Sawamura's eyes widened. Still struggling to barely throw to the position that Chris senpai wanted, Sawamura really found it hard to imagine what Nine-Panel Grid control was. But he quickly put down his shock, clenched his fists, and shouted:
"I will work hard! One day my control will reach the same level as that blondie! No! Even stronger! Then I will be Kanto's Number One Left-Handed Pitcher, hahahahahahaha!"
Miyuki smiled as he watched Sawamura roar at the sky. The haze caused by learning about Su Qing's strength was swept away. Su Qing is strong, but they also have hope! And there is only one Su Qing, but there are two of them! Who wins and who loses is not yet certain!
"Then you have to work hard."
"Yes! Miyuki senpai, can you practice pitching with me today?"
Although he already had Chris senpai, the greedy little angel also wanted to take Miyuki for himself.
"No, I haven't had a good rest for several days. I want to go to bed early today. I don't want to do basic practice with you."
"Ah! I won't practice too much, just 50 pitches is enough!"
"No way!"
"30 pitches!"
"No way!"
"10 pitches! Just practice with me!"
Miyuki ultimately couldn't resist Sawamura's pitiful little eyes, and also thought that he was Seido's main catcher, and Sawamura was very likely to play this summer, always letting him practice with Chris was not conducive to cultivating their relationship.
"Baka, aren't you tired carrying two such heavy bags on your back?"
"I am a little."
The little angel belatedly felt the weight on his body.
"Does that mean you agree?!"
Sawamura said in surprise.
"First, put your bag down! If you injure your shoulder, forget about practicing, you might not be able to pitch for a long time!"
"Yes!"
When Su Qing and the others arrived at B Field, the Inajitsu team was already preparing for their next match.
Manager Kunimoto stood in front of the dugout with an icy expression, while the other players carefully prepared the equipment needed for the game. Only Shirakawa and Carlos weren't putting much effort into tidying up.
They kept looking around, searching for something.
Carlos was the first to spot Su Qing's trio. Upon seeing them, he frantically gestured for them to sneak in without alerting the manager.
But gesturing from that far away, even with their excellent eyesight, they couldn't quite understand, leading to a long period of miscommunication.
Manager Kunimoto noticed the commotion and glanced back.
Upon seeing Manager Kunimoto turn around, the two instantly reacted with the speed of batters, immediately burying their heads in their equipment bags, while Su Qing and his friends hid behind a large tree.
Seido's B Field was really small. If Su Qing and the others hadn't been behind the wire fence instead of at the field entrance, they probably would have been spotted by Manager Kunimoto already.
How to sneak in?
Su Qing thought for a moment and decided to take a gamble!
"Su Qing! (very quietly) Where are you going!"
Narumiya Mei and Harada were stunned when they saw Su Qing rush onto the field without a word.
After entering the field, Su Qing naturally headed towards the dugout, leaving Narumiya Mei and Carlos dumbfounded. What was he planning to do?
Su Qing pretended not to see Manager Kunimoto's gaze and continued walking towards the dugout.
Manager Kunimoto finally couldn't bear it anymore. He had never seen a student with such thick skin!
"Where do you think you're going?"
Just when Su Qing thought he was going to get away with it, Manager Kunimoto spoke. A completely emotionless question stopped Su Qing in his tracks.
"I, I, I'm rejoining the team."
Answering the question directly, good!
"Can going to the bathroom take more than an hour?"
"I'm sorry, Manager, I got lost and couldn't find the bathroom. After finally finding it, I got lost again on the way back. By the time I stumbled upon the field, the game was over, and everyone had left. I had to ask people for a long time before I found my way here."
Su Qing scratched his head, looking embarrassed, as if trying to hide his getting lost.
Shirakawa and the others widened their eyes. He could do that? His thick skin was truly invincible?
With Su Qing's explanation, Manager Kunimoto didn't really have anything to say. Although the reason was far-fetched, it was still a reason.
"Go run ten laps, then rejoin the team."
"Yes!"
It was just running ten laps, no big deal. He was young and didn't fear any stamina issues!
Narumiya Mei stared wide-eyed as Su Qing safely entered the dugout. He turned around, pointed a finger at Harada Masaru, who remained calm as if nothing could affect his mood, and said to him:
"How could he betray us like this?"
Harada Masaru crossed his arms and said to the dispirited Narumiya Mei:
"Let's go back too. The game is about to start. Going back now will at most result in a punishment. If we go back after the game starts, it won't just be a matter of punishment."
Narumiya Mei immediately wilted. He followed Harada Masaru back to the dugout.
"Our lack of organization has caused you trouble!"
Led by Harada Masaru, the two respectfully bowed to Coach Kunimoto. They kept their heads lowered, as if they wouldn't raise them unless Coach Kunimoto agreed to forgive them.
"Where did you two go?"
Coach Kunimoto asked coldly, with his hands crossed in front of his chest.
Naturally, it was Harada Masaru who spoke. Narumiya Mei didn't dare to speak; he only dared to complain about the coach behind his back.
"We wanted to scout Seido's information, but we forgot to report it to you. We didn't expect to be back so late, causing you to worry!"
As he spoke, he bowed again.
