"As long as you are happy!"

Although I think so in my heart, Sendou won't say it out of my mouth!

"However, you were able to resist not putting other strange things. That's great!" The little death-defying expert came online again.

"What do you mean?"

"That's what it means!"

Fumino is angry! Punched Mr. Bear in the face!

Mr. Bear immediately flew off the bed!

"How many chocolates did you receive?" After a short silence, Sendou suddenly interrupted!

"52! They are basically given by girls! This is a limited number, so troublesome! How about you!" Fumino has the same existence as Honor Guard in the school. They are all girls, and they don't give ordinary boys a chance to get close!

And the number of Honor Guard is so huge, it's like an army!

So Honor Guard has a set of internal rules that stipulate who can give away and who cannot give away!

"Counting Wakaba's 34!" Hearing Fumino ask himself, Sendou typed honestly!

"..."

Then? There will be no more!

Don't ask! Asking means that someone's mentality has exploded!

Fumino did not send any more messages!

Sendou saw that she stopped talking and went to read the novel happily! (Straight men leave people speechless!)

Poor Mr. Bear! Someone's straight male attributes are hurting you!

Of course Fumino just ignored him for one night.

One and a half months later, Sendou and others will be successfully promoted to three years, which also means that they will launch the final attack on the Last Summer, win or retire.

Although junior high school baseball is not as cruel as high school, Akashi everyone is determined not to lose to the senior high school player Fighting Spirit.

Because they know this is their last time playing baseball with Sendou.

As for that nervous guy Sawamura, he has long forgotten about it!

But even that crazy guy has a Fighting Spirit that is not inferior to anyone else.

Don't forget, this team itself exists for Sawamura.

And Sawamura carries everyone's friendship and the hope of making Akagi Middle School famous all over the country.

"The opening ceremony just now was so long-winded! It's obviously going to be School Merger!" Sendou complained after the opening ceremony of the new semester!

"What did you say? Sendou!!!

Although it is indeed a bit long-winded!

But this is very rude! Apologize quickly! "

"..., um, sorry!" Sendou looked at Sawamura for a few seconds and actually apologized!

"Huh?"

Sawamura was so decisive that he was extremely surprised!

"Okay!!!" At this time, several juniors next to them said hello to them!

"Okay!" (The two greetings have different pronunciations, so I won't show off!)

"It's really cool to be in the top grade! I have lovely juniors to say hello to, and I don't have to say hello to others!" Sendou exclaimed!

"???" Others looked at him with contempt!

"Wait a minute, Eijun, what qualifications do you have to despise me?" Sendou thought with disbelief on his face.

In fact, there are not such complicated rules in the countryside, so of course he will face a series of contempt!

This is why Sawamura only knew about the concept of hierarchy but had never seen it before entering high school.

Miyuki That time just made Sawamura think about that!

And...

No one would think that Sendou and Sawamura have this kind of consciousness, or that they have this kind of hierarchy!

Although half a year has passed, Akashi and everyone have never missed training, and they also played Practice Match twice with Big Tail!

In the first game, Sendou directed from the field, and Akashi cooperated tacitly under his command. Although Aoki and others are a little clever, they still need to rely on Sendou's overall view to use them.

To put it bluntly, they can only abuse food!

Without Sendou, we can only play solo, with a little coordination at most. This is thanks to the existence of Sendou, the sea-fixing needle!

But Second Match Sendou appeared in person, and then there was a massacre!

If it weren't for Practice Match, it would have ended early!

Unlike Autumn Tournament, Sendou acted as the catcher in this game and completely released the firepower of Sawamura. With the cooperation of everyone on defense and Sendou's ball distribution, Big Tail scored 13 points while keeping zero blocks.

Of course, this is the result of not sending Sendou!

That's what they did at Practice Match!

The main thing is that although Akashi's threading has not progressed by leaps and bounds, as the body grows longer and the technology becomes more refined, the growth is still visible to the naked eye!

However, it is worth mentioning that Big Tail's lower position players have been replaced. Takashi and others' juniors from Little League have come in.

It can be said that the current Big Tail is more luxurious than De Chuan in terms of potential!

After all, De Chuan only invited some Little League players and could not afford a full Little League team.

But obviously Big Tail's situation is an exception and it just so happens that Takashi and their juniors have a good relationship.

It is worth mentioning that Big Tail also has three girls.

And they are the same players as Wakaba, but the difference is that these girls are the absolute main force of the Little League team.

Some even play at the top of the Little League team or even in four at-bats.

Even in junior high school, the physical fitness of these masters is not much weaker than that of boys.

And technical and even other talents are beyond the reach of ordinary boys!

It should not be underestimated at all. At least one girl in Takashi's top five position was squeezed out!

Then because of a Practice Match, the three girls all became Sendou's little fans!

Although Sendou has not played many games, not many games in three years.

But the difference in strength is too big. In addition, Sendou has such a good figure and good looks, coupled with his cold and comfortable appearance, it is difficult for men to feel disgusted with him!

Not to mention girls who are just starting to fall in love!

In fact, those boys have also become fanboys, but they are not as crazy as those girls!

Where's the madness?

Second Match Akashi slaughtered Big Tail for thirteen points, so Sendou plans to continue to be on the bench in the last game!

The fans were naturally relieved. Although they have become his fans, it does not mean that they like to be abused!

However, what is shocking is that the three girls are not happy at all. In their words, as long as Sendou appears, it doesn't matter how miserable it is.

Takashi can't close their mouths!

This game also allowed Sendou to unlock a record, although it was not a coincidental record like Complete Game Hit!

But there were four consecutive Home Run blasts from the five dozen seats, and one Inside-the-Park Home Run!

In the end, there was no other way. The girls had the advantage, but they also gave in. In the next game, they all played and walked Sendou.

(Complete Game Hit means a single, Double Hit, a triple, and Home Run in one game.

Inside-the-Park Home Run Of course, although it is the Long Hit route, the runner runs directly back to home base and can't stop it!)

After school started, Akashi's life became monotonous again, with classes and training.

The difference is that Wakaba and Sendou have individual fan meetings, and a group of people come to cheer them on every day!

The current Sendou is not the same person he was more than a year ago. He will not sneak away at will like before and find no reason to not show up for several days!

The Last Summer must go all out and not let any surprises happen to the team's title defense!

Sendou even had the idea of crushing and winning the championship! (Nagano Regional Competition)

Think of it as a celebration or party for leaving the sport of baseball!

Of course, whoever goes to the national competition will be judged. Although the junior high school Soft Baseball is very weak, the top teams in the country will not be weaker than Little Senior League. To say that they are weak, they are only the wealthy teams that are also at the top of Little Senior League.

Those top Little Senior League are all personally guided by professional players. There are even several retired professional players in one team, which is extremely luxurious.

A luxurious coaching team plus a group of people who had the ambition or talent to play professionally in elementary school is not something that can be compared to a junior high school club.

Not to mention these top teams, last year's Marugame Senior was a powerful team in Kanto with several players with the potential to enter the professional world, not to mention the top teams in the country and even the World Series.

Maybe players with professional talent are not necessarily better than Marugame, but the thought of a team that can grind a team like Marugame to the ground gives people goosebumps.

Little Senior League's circle said this again.

Even though the players of Little Senior League are younger than the powerful Koshien, their physical fitness is very different!

But if we only look at technology, Little Senior League's team will not be any stronger or weaker than Koshien!

It's just that the player Little Senior League has a slow ball speed, a slow swing speed and Fighting Spirit is not strong enough, and does not have the determination to fight to the death, so there is a huge gap in strength.

Imagine that the coach is a professional player, then the thinking of a professional player will not care so much about the outcome of one or two games. Even if it is a solo game, if you lose one game and go home, you will lose!

This is also the reason why Amakusa, who has a professional mindset, is not understood by high school players.

But coaches and professional reporters know that this is what it means to have the mentality of a professional player.

Major League has never won consecutive championships. Losing is a common occurrence, and there are dedicated psychologists to relieve psychological stress!

If you think about it this way, you can understand that Amakusa defeated Seidou. Just after the game, you can ask Sawamura Cutter Kai about how to hold it.

Like he said, this is just normal communication between players, of course these are professional players!

But his professional mindset is just incompatible with high school baseball.

Therefore, the food chain among Japanese baseball teams is very stable.

The junior high school food chain is the top Little Senior League, then there are the giants from the big competition area like Marugame, then the regional Little Senior League giants, then the top Soft Baseball teams in the country, then the ordinary Little Senior League, and as for Nagano, these are amateurs among amateurs.

Even the ordinary Little Senior League is a team trained by a professional training team, at least it will not mislead others.

But what about your average junior high softball team? If the coach can understand the tactics, he will be a famous general, right? There are even coaches who participated in the baseball club in high school who are outstanding!

With these teachers and students, who can they compete with?

Even the Little Senior League powerful level in a county may have multiple professional players in charge of the coaching seal.

Unless a monster like Sendou, who is unique in the world, can ignore the food chain only if he is willing to be the ace of the four sticks!

Of course, it's just a single game, and there won't even be back-to-back games in the format. Otherwise, what would you do if you were only allowed to vote once in two games?

Because of this, Sendou never thought that this team could win the national competition!

But among the Nagano team, Akashi is the strongest team in history, so it's still up to them!

Not only that, after Autumn Tournament won the championship, Akashi, the defending champion, became the biggest favorite for Nagano.

But in Sendou's words, in order to prevent them from swelling, he felt the need to beat them, especially Sawamura!

Sendou will never allow his arrival to destroy the jade of Sawamura!

But Nagano can steadily suppress Akashi's team, even if Sendou doesn't play.

So he can only find foreign aid.

That is Sakura Women's University!

Since the fall of the first grade, Sakura Girls has been the absolute dominant player of Nippon University Soft Baseball. They have not missed any championship, so much so that this year the school will switch to playing hardball!

This year is also the first and last time that this winning team, known as the strongest team in the history of Sakura Women's University, participates in the college hardball league!

Even so, this team is still called the winning candidate!

The reason is that last summer, after facing Sendou's 360-degree spiral sling, Ozawa became the ceiling for Japanese women's university pitchers, and it was the kind of ceiling that stood out from the crowd!

Many professional teams have even started to contact her!

This makes Sendou very happy. After all, Sendou never feels inferior to her when facing her!

But speaking of it, Ozawa's attitude toward Sendou has improved a lot in recent months, at least not like the irritable girl they first met.

Not only for Sendou, the training in the past few years has really made her grow a lot, especially in terms of mentality. It is hard to see her angry!

It can be said that if Sendou faces Ozawa, it will definitely be a 360-degree spiral attack with no dead ends, but on the other hand, Sakura Girls also performed the same perfect attack on Akashi last summer!

Even if the opponent hits casually with a relaxed style, he can knock Akashi down. Of course, the prerequisite is to send Sendou!

No matter how tough a pitcher is, he will collapse if he is hit Long Hit Home Run continuously. Even if his psychology does not collapse, his body movements will be out of shape. The body cannot bear this grievance!

In particular, Sendou and Home Run are the kind that fly over the guardrail and cannot find the ball. They also have the most terrifying impact on pitchers!

After Sendou contacted Sakura Girls, the other party agreed very generously!

Ozawa has been abused for so long, so miserable, and of course he has to make up for it. Sendou is really helpless, so Akashi, this team, will never get rid of his hatred no matter how many times they beat him up.

Especially Sendou personally spoke out in the hope that those guys would be beaten so as to save them from swelling. Isn't this a sandbag sent to the door?

It's still the one that relieves anger the most. If you don't fight, it will be in vain!

So when Ozawa heard that he wanted to see the face of Sendou again and beat his team violently, he felt very comfortable.

Sendou heard the other party agree, and imagined that his friends would be beaten violently, which made him feel very happy.

If Ozawa knew what Sendou was thinking, she would definitely be uncomfortable!

It's finally the third year of junior high school, and summer is not far away.

Asking for votes.
