"Really bothered by it?!" Miyuki came over after finishing his cool-down stretches.
"What?!"
"That guy Naru! Were you disappointed you didn't get to watch the game?!"
"Not really. It was only a Kanto Tournament, after all. Even if they wanted to win, every team had to make sure their players didn't get too exhausted!"
"Then why did you look like you really wanted to go watch?"
"I did really want to watch a game!" Sendou said with a smile.
"???" Miyuki's head was full of question marks. Wasn't that contradicting himself?
"It was Ichidai San High and Yakushi High School's game!!"
"Was there anything noteworthy about their opponents? If there was, I shouldn't have no impression of them at all!" Miyuki had looked over the matchup chart, though he had only paid attention to clashes between strong teams.
Although the Kanto Tournament was basically made up of spring winners, regional differences still meant there were stronger and weaker teams!
Even if upsets happened, that remained true!
"No! I don't know who they were playing today either!!"
"???"
"Still don't get it?! It was a game between one dumbass and a whole legion of dumbasses!" Seeing Miyuki's serious expression, Sendou knew the guy was genuinely discussing baseball, so he said it with a grin.
"...!"
"I remember 'dumbass' roughly meant someone like Sawamura—an idiot, but kind of cute, right?!" Thanks to Sendou, Miyuki knew some Chinese internet slang.
"Yeah! Isn't that right?!"
"One... and a legion..." Miyuki muttered, thinking of Amakusa from Ichidai San High, along with Raichi Todoroki and Mishima from Yakushi. His face went blank.
"If you put it that way, our team can't exactly throw stones! Inajitsu has plenty too, right?! Those problem children!" Miyuki said helplessly. Naturally, he was thinking of the Double Pitcher duo...
"How fun!
