Sendou's vague remarks to the supporters perfectly aligned with Sendou earlier assessment that he was inappropriate.
"You have no right to say that!!!" Dozens of people in the support section, led by the Maezono, shouted in unison.
"You're the kind of person who talks such unlucky things all the time!"
"Asshole!"
Upon hearing this, Miyuki suddenly realized what was going on.
However, Sendou completely ignored the shouts and gave Fumino a look that said, "Help me deal with them."
Fumino is sometimes a bit Natural Airhead, but as the Sleeping Beauty of the Liberal Arts Forest, she is definitely a smart person and very sensitive to what people say. She naturally knows how much Kanemaru and Maezono's words can harm their teammates.
So she nodded to Sendou and gave him a reassuring look.
"Hmm!" Just as Sendou turned around, he inadvertently saw Rei-chan looking at him.
He then gave him a gentle smile.
Rei-chan is a mature and elegant woman, quite different from Aida Reporter in Slam Dunk. Sendou really couldn't stand Aida Reporter's screaming, infatuated type of girl.
Seeing Sendou's smile made Rei-chan feel much more at ease.
The fact that he can still make this expression at this moment already reveals a lot of information.
For example, as Sendou said before, he never had the impression of losing a game.
Rei-chan can easily sense this emotion from that smile.
"Senior, I have something to attend to and need to leave for a bit!" Fumino stood up, said to Senior Takako, and then walked towards the others in the Maezono.
Senior Takako and several other managers followed her gaze.
"Excuse me! Senpai! Kanemaru-kun!"
"Hey! Ko... Furuhashi-san?" Kanemaru suddenly panicked when he smelled the fragrance on Fumino up close, and his face turned a little red.
"What's wrong, Furuhashi -chan?" Maezono asked.
"Could you please not reveal information like Eijun's weaknesses to the other side?" Fumino said with a smile.
In the Maezono, Kanemaru and a large group of single people nearby all swallowed hard.
Aside from Furuhashi slightly disappointing chest ( Furuhashi: Don't mention that!), Guqiao's looks, complexion, figure, and gentle personality are so captivating that most girls would find her irresistible and feel an urge to protect her. These single guys are practically a sitting duck!
"What did you mean just now?" Maezono asked, puzzled.
Kanemaru had a similar expression.
These two idiots still don't realize how much their big mouths are ruining their teammates' lives.
" Eijun's first pitch just now made the opposing defense think he was a power hitter and they were on guard because of it, but your calls..."
"Ah!" the two exclaimed in surprise, suddenly realizing what was happening.
If these two still don't understand after I've explained it so clearly, then they're not just being naive, they're doing it on purpose.
"Right..."
"No way!" Fumino stopped Maezono, who was about to apologize loudly, with her hand.
"If you want to apologize, wait until after the match! Harada-san on the other side probably isn't sure of Sawamura's true level either, so don't say anything wrong again!" Fumino smiled gently, her eyes narrowed.
"Hi!" Maezono and Kanemaru blushed slightly.
I don't know if it was because I felt guilty and realized I was wrong, or because I was shy from looking at the sparkling Fumino up close; maybe it was both.
Seeing that things were settled, Fumino returned to her seat and gave Sendou an OK sign.
However, she discovered that Sendou wasn't paying any attention to this place at all. Little did she know that the guy had completely shifted his focus after entrusting the matter to her.
This left her unsure whether to be happy about the other person's trust and reliance, or disappointed by the lack of attention she received.
Meanwhile, Kanemaru and the others were somewhat intoxicated by the air, inhaling the wonderful scent of Fumino.
"We need to think carefully about how we phrase our support for Sawamura!"
"I never expected that we would be the ones holding the team back in the end!" Maezono said guiltily.
"Um!"
"Speaking of which, wasn't that what Sendou was trying to remind us of earlier?"
"He couldn't say it outright, so we scolded him away...!"
"Go back and kowtow to apologize! Now we need to keep going until our voices are ruined!" said the Third Year Senior Trio.
"Hi!"
"Come on! Follow our lead and strike a pose!" The three of them then struck the pose they had practiced all night!
"Hi!"
Is that so?
"No! Look at them! Their poses are even more shameful!"
"Throw away your shame!" Senior Shinbara said, pointing at the disciple he had trained the previous night.
"Hi!"
Okay! The number of people in this weird combination has increased again.
"One hit! Shortstop, Kuramochi-kun!"
The next striker, the Cheetah, is ready.
" Ya-san just likes to overthink things!"
How could this idiot be a strong fighter? Didn't the people in the support section say so?
... Seriously, what's the point of letting them reach the scoring circle?
Should we continue to drive the base with short bats?
It's pointless if the ball doesn't hit me!
"I will not give you another chance." Narumiya Mei glanced at Sawamura, then stared at Kuramochi, thinking to himself.
"Inno, be on guard for Safety Bunt!" Harada, as usual, was on guard for Safety Bunt, and then assumed a fighting stance against the batter.
"Call out!"
"Smack!"
The first goal is a straight ball from the inside corner!
"Call out"
"Smack!"
Then comes the Slider in the inside corner!
Even Kuramochi, who was standing on the left side, was completely helpless against Narumiya Mei in this state.
Standing on the left batting box was entirely to guard against Changeup. Seidou also noticed that their Changeup would occasionally go too high.
For left-handed hitters, Inajitsu might reduce their investment in Changeup.
Even if there's only a tiny chance, Kuramochi is willing to try, otherwise he really has no other choice. Today has been a dark day for Kuramochi.
"Damn it!" Kuramochi glared fiercely at Narumiya Mei, hating his powerlessness, yet there was nothing he could do.
Kuramochi never dreamed that even though Narumiya Mei was clearly exhausted, his shot was still so sharp that he couldn't even touch it.
"Changeup... Changeup!" Kuramochi thought to himself, but only realized it was Changeup when he instinctively swung the bat at the ball. He had no regard for the left-handed batter at all.
"Smack!"
"Nice shot!"
"The attacker is out!"
"Damn it!" Kuramochi his baseball bat high, his eyes almost bulging out of their sockets.
Narumiya Mei currently in a state of high alert, as if he's on steroids, making it extremely difficult to get his Changeup higher.
With their ace player in such good form, Harada couldn't possibly be lenient.
"Second baseman, Kominato Haruichi!"
"Phew! To be honest, Kuramochi is the weakest point known on this line of attack."
As long as he doesn't get to base, there's no problem. But this guy has a great feel for the ball." Harada stared at Koharu, analyzing the situation while giving her coded Signals.
"Go for it, Kominato!"
" Kominato-kun!"
"Haru! Sendou is no longer reliable, now we can only rely on you!" Sawamura perked up again.
"Don't you want to kill him?" Miyuki asked Sawamura, pointing at Sendou.
"Ah! We'll talk about it after the match!" Sendou said, adjusting his gloves without looking up.
" The Sendou!"
"Um?"
"If we win! I want to go out shopping and give myself a break!" Miyuki suddenly said in a sentimental tone.
The impact of the match that had already been played on him was immense, no less than losing a match in his previous life.
"Really? If I lose, I'll shave my head like Sakuragi!" Sendou chimed in.
"Haha! Still the same old thing, you always start with such unlucky words!"
Although I'd love to see you like that, it's better if we win!
"Would you like to hear something auspicious?"
"Ah!"
"If I win, I'll pay you ten points!" With that, Sendou walked back to the bench.
"Ten balls?... Really?" Miyuki's eyes lit up, and he followed.
"Puff!"
"Smack!"
"Nice shot!"
First ball: Changeup!!!
"Xiaoharu!!!
"Call out!"
"Bang! Crack!" As Xiaochun hit a fastball to the outside corner, the bat cracked for the second time!
"Smack!"
"Safety!"
"Yoshi!!!"
Yoshi! Yoshi yoshi!
"Yoshi! Yoshi yoshi!" Sawamura immediately imitated Isashiki-senpai's fierce shout, and then his true colors were revealed.
"Yoshia!!!" Several seniors on the bench stood close to the railing and collectively stretched out an arm.
"A beautiful strike!"
"Although it was a coincidence!"
"This guy might really be a lucky boy! He's so lucky!"
"Haha! Your face is red again!"
Because the ball lost its power, it landed at a point that was neither too far nor too close, making it impossible for the opposing infield defense to handle, allowing Koharu to successfully reach base.
Shirazu-senpai naturally ran to third base.
"Two outs, first and third! Seidou's powerful Center Batting Lineup is back!!!"
The ace and center batter will clash for the sixth time!!!
After such a fierce clash, who will be the victor?!
"Haha! Does Haruichi still have any spare Wooden Bat?" Sendou asked Miyuki in high spirits.
Then, put the helmet on your head!
"I'm afraid not!" Miyuki shook his head and laughed.
"Let's end this round then! So that Haruichi won't be without a good bat for the next game!" Sendou said, and after getting dressed, he walked off the bench.
"Hey! Hey! Don't make promises you can't keep!" Miyuki helplessly.
"Third batter! Left fielder, Isashiki-kun!"
"My turn! Kula!"
"All the good food is mine!!!" Isashiki-senpai walked up fiercely.
" Jun-san!!!"
Please!
Under the Cheering Song of Isashiki-senpai, the people in the support seats have completely lost their shame, and all sorts of embarrassing cheering gestures have come up.
"Hit it out! At least get those two hit when the bases are loaded!"
"Now you can't Intentional Walk, can you?" With a plan in mind, Jun-san's eyes gradually changed from fierce to crazed. Don't think that only the people of Inajitsu can disregard everything for victory.
Seidou will never back down, even at the cost of their lives!
"Come on, you bastard!!!"
"It's so noisy, Ya-san!"
Let's shut him up!
"We've already reached the sixth round of the tournament, so you should have a good grasp of most of the shot Ball Trajectory by now!"
But having too many impressions can become a burden!
We absolutely cannot face Yuuki and Sendou here!
Even Miyuki later on found it much harder to suppress them as easily as before!
Even Ming must be exhausted by now!
To be rational, we should consider continuing to invest...
But is the Iguchi really capable of handling this situation?
There's only one ace! At this moment, the thrower and catcher are of one mind!
The two looked at each other and smiled!
"Come on! You bastard! Come on! Come on!"
"Puff!"
"Call out!"
" Slider!"
"Smack!"
"Nice shot!"
"What?!" Isashiki looked up in shock at the arrogant voice.
In the fourth round, the Slider, which had changed so dramatically and completely deviated from the Strike Zone, suddenly found itself in the Strike Zone when it looked exhausted.
Isashiki couldn't understand what was going on at all; he only knew that something bad was about to happen.
"Hey! This isn't about being tired anymore, this guy..."
Is this guy really Narumiya Mei?
Even if he was on drugs, wasn't he? In that instant, Isashiki questioned what he had just seen.
"Smack!"
"Good shot! Two!"
" Changeup!... and it only grazed the bottom edge of the strike zone. "Strike Zone
Has this guy evolved at this point?
No... this is probably just an exceptional performance!
But this is such an inopportune time!
"Call out!"
"Smack!"
"Nice shot!"
"The hitter is out! Change of game!"
"This! ba ke mo no bastard!
"Why!" Isashiki, who had already struck out, stared intently at the figure who walked down the Pitcher's Mound like an emperor.
What he truly couldn't accept was that expression that showed no attachment to him, as if he had done something insignificant.
In fact, it was just that Isashiki was intimidated by the aura.
Narumiya Mei's ball speed and variations are now almost identical to when he was at his physical peak, but his momentum and accuracy are completely different from before.
However, this also caused Seidou to miss another excellent scoring opportunity!
And it wasn't just one person who was intimidated; it can be said that, apart from a few individuals, everyone was affected to some extent.
Only Captain Tetsu, Sendou, Miyuki, and Sawamura were almost unaffected.
However, despite the intimidation, at this point, almost nothing can make either side back down.
A few seconds later, Isashiki-senpai walked back to the bench with determination.
Having experienced such a desperate situation in the Ninth Inning, they only need a little time to recover from the rest.
"We can't lose our momentum, Sawamura!" Jun-san shouted to Sawamura as soon as he returned to the bench.
"Yoshi ya!!!" Sawamura responded.
"Heh! Hehehehe! Hahahaha!" Sendou chuckled softly from the side.
"What's so funny? I'll beat you up!" Isashiki-senpai was really angry this time.
"No! I have a feeling this game might be the end of my high school career."
... No, it was probably the most exciting, thrilling, and intense competition I've ever experienced in my life!
One thing is for sure: this match is one I will never forget in my life!
I was so excited that I blurted out something I shouldn't have!
"Happy... about this match?"
Sure enough! I'm exhausted on the first day. I feel like I could fall asleep as soon as I close my eyes.

Goodnight everyone.
