"Even if you can't do it, it's okay!!
No one can guarantee a hit in a single at-bat!" Narumiya Mei said somewhat tsundere-like after being given a redirected head pat.
"Is this what he feels like during games?" Daikoku, whose heart had been worn out from breaking up fights yesterday, pointed at the tsundere Mei and asked Carlos.
"No! It's just that person who gets special treatment!
Normally, when he starts, he's fine. Sometimes he's rather quiet, or..." Carlos said, adjusting the helmet he had just put on.
"Carlo, do you know what situation we're in?!
No matter what, you absolutely have to get on base... okay?!" The white-haired boy instantly changed expressions as he turned around and shouted.
"Or like this!!" Carlos pointed at Narumiya's "fierce" face and finished what he had been interrupted from saying.
"Huh?" Daikoku was a little bewildered.
"Well!
When he's happy, he also acts like a child!" Carlos ignored the still-confused Daikoku. As he lowered his hand from his helmet and walked out of the dugout, he added this.
"Carlo!!"
"Get on base!!"
Amid the cheers from the dugout, Carlos walked toward the Batter's Box!
Just as Carlos knew Senior Iguchi very well, Senior Iguchi knew him just as well!!
They had come from the same team, but after the senior entered university, they had ended up on opposing sides.
Yet both had grown in different ways, and no one knew how useful their old information still was!
"Naru's fired up today. If I get taken out too easily, he'll nag me to death!!" Carlos smiled to himself as he raised his bat!
"Watch carefully!
Senior Iguchi's pitching!" Carlo was trying hard not to get nagged at, while the person responsible was playing the perfect senior and frantically feeding Sendou "experience"...
"Pff!"
"Whoosh!"
