"Oh~! That's it!" Sendou responded in a deliberately long tone.
"Hey! Let's start the second round of the showdown!" Harada quickly changed the subject, not wanting Sendou to talk too much about his girlfriend.
"Hi!... Hi!" Sendou responded with a smile.
"Phew!"
Seeing Sendou raise his arms, Harada was relieved and became nervous again.
Sendou's mouth is indeed not easy to mess with, but it is just not annoying.
"Here we go!" Sendou reminded, he didn't need to take advantage of such a trivial matter.
"Ah!"
"I didn't expect the outside corner to be so tricky! Where will the next ball be?
Outside corner? Inside angle? Or Changeup?
Don't be confused!
This guy's balls! If there is even a moment of confusion, I lose! "Harada gripped the bat tightly and looked at the boy in front of him who had already raised his leg.
"Poof!"
"Piu!"
"Touch!"
"Diagonal Fastball!" Diagonal Fastball passed Strike Zone diagonally, and Harada had nothing to do about it.
Especially the Outside Corner Ball road was just as tricky before, and even Harada barely suppressed the instinct to retreat and dodge, which shows how tricky it is.
"What's wrong? Is it a bad ball?" Sendou asked.
It's so tricky that Sendou doesn't dare to calibrate.
"No! It's a good ball! Nice ball!"
"Souga!"
"Here!" Harada threw the ball over.
"Crack!"
"Harada-san!"
"Huh?"
"You haven't answered yet! The question I just asked!
Today, he didn't even think about competing with me, he just wanted to fool me about pitching! "
"How did you see that!"
"If it's a duel! Even if you don't bring a bat to make me lower my guard, you can't just bring a ball!
By the way, it's so troublesome to wipe the ball when it's dirty! "The final complaint is the point..."
After all, in baseball, when the ball is stained with grass or dirt, it is necessary to ask the umpire to change the ball.
The rules also do not allow dirty balls. If a player deliberately soils the ball, he may even be sent off.
"Uh! Sorry!" Harada heard Sendou's complaint and apologized decisively.
"Well! Forget it! It's only nine balls anyway!"
"Uh!"
Harada Hearing this, he suddenly felt like punching someone.
"Okay! Let's continue!" Sendou has wiped the ball!
"Poof!"
The moment he saw Sendou step, Harada was already ready. In order to cater to Sendou's ball speed and his own swing speed, he had to judge Ball Trajectory and start swinging at about the time Sendou released the ball.
Then adjust according to the specific route during the swing.
"Piu!"
"It's Inside Corner Ball again! The same height as before, closer to the inside!" Harada, who was swinging the bat, saw Ball Trajectory clearly.
"Pounce!"
The moment he swung it in the air, Harada opened his eyes wide and looked at the figure with indifferent eyes in front of him.
"Fast Forkball! It turns out to be this kind of ball!
The same stance as the straight shot and the same Ball Trajectory!
Not good! "The moment he saw the ball, Harada realized that he might not be able to touch the ball today.
Not to mention that controlling the ball at the inside and outside corners is inherently difficult. Even if the inside corners are fixed, straight balls and this Fast Forkball, all he can do is choose one of two, and if he guesses wrong, he will miss.
On this basis, plus the internal and external angles, it has already restrained all his energy.
This is still not clear to Harada, but Sendou has the ability to read minds like a magical skill.
"The speed of this ball is Four-Quadrant. I have already tried my best to control the ball when I touch it. On this basis, there are also vertical changes!
This monster! "
"Two good goals!" Just when Harada's mentality was wavering, the figure of Sendou came.
"E... oh!"
"Are you okay? I can give you some time to calm down!"
"Breathe...huh!
No need! Come on! "Harada took a deep breath and adjusted his mentality, he said.
"As expected..." Sendou's eyes showed some appreciation.
"That's right! No need!
Such an absolute difference in strength! How many years have it been since you experienced this?
In this situation, as a weakling, there is only one thing that can be done...!
What a confusing swing! The rest awaits a miracle! "Harada's body began to show its aura.
"Hoo? What a nice expression!" Seeing Harada no longer guessing the ball, Sendou smiled.
This is what counts as a duel!
No more guessing the ball, and analyzing the ball speed of Sendou, it means that all shots should be taken according to the timing of the straight ball. As for whether you can react to Fast Forkball, it depends entirely on skill and luck.
"Courage is commendable! But,"
"Poof!"
"Boom!" Harada's bat completed the swing with a huge roar.
"Crack!"
The ball slowly hit the soil behind Home Plate!
"Change...Changeup!" Harada was completely speechless when he saw the huge speed difference of Changeup who, according to the timing of the straight ball, completely swung it before entering the home plate.
Even though this Changeup is an extremely good straight ball in the center, the huge speed difference makes it useless no matter how he closes the bat.
The huge inertia couldn't stop the moment it was swung out.
"Hey! On that basis, we still need to prioritize?!!!
Is this guy far beyond the high school level? "
"Strikeouts in two at-bats!"
"Do you want to start directly? The third fight!" Sendou, who finished the second duel, narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile.
That smile was extremely gentle and healing, but also extremely cold and terrifying to the opponent.
The heart-pounding emotions from elementary school were rekindled again, and... more..., more..., more intense.
"I want to catch that ball!" Harada's instinct... even his cells were telling him how strong his desire to catch this man's ball was.
"Ah!" Harada agreed almost instinctively.
Sendou's smiling mouth slightly deepened!
"Hi! (Okay!)" The soft voice is like a gentle woman agreeing to a man's proposal, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.
Harada felt that at this moment, his whole body was healed, which showed that his desire for that ball was just like his pursuit of a woman.
Sendou's response was as if the marriage proposal had been accepted. (You are indeed a baseball idiot! Marry baseball!...)
"Piu!"
"Touch!"
"Piu!"
"Pounce!"
"..."
"Pa! Step! Step!" The third player, Changeup, the last one, bounced on the ground a few times after landing, announcing that the duel between the two was completely over. Harada's bat did not touch the ball even once.
Facing almost losing Fighting Spirit, Harada, Sendou, who looked happy, made almost no adjustments, straight balls Fast Forkball, Changeup, and used the second ball type to hit the mat again.
"What was that ball just now? A spiral ball? A quick fork?" After the duel, Harada was not frustrated at all. Instead, He Shenwen rushed up and asked what kind of ball the second ball was that would be like a spiral ball and cause the right-hand batter to fall toward the outside corner.
Without knowing it, they said it was a spiral ball and the ball speed was too fast. They said it was Fast Forkball or Harada. I had never seen anything fall like this before.
Not to mention high school, I have never seen it even in professional games.
"Calm down! That's just an ordinary Fast Forkball!"
"Are you kidding? This is not an ordinary Fast Forkball!" Harada's face was full of disbelief.
"Harada-san! You should know, right? Some Forkball pitchers control the direction of their fall by applying force with two fingers."
"Souga! Even if this happens, it's just an ordinary Forkball!
Fast Forkball, can it only be said that it is your magic ball?
Since you should also be able to control the ball to fall toward the inside corner of the right-handed batter like Slider, right?
"I don't know! I haven't tried it!"
"I haven't tried anything! Didn't you say you voted for several days?"
"Yes! But the experimental ball type was just a small experiment before that. I didn't expect it to be successful. I only tried this kind of drop.
I didn't continue after my curiosity was satisfied. The same goes for Changeup, too rough to look like! "
"I see! It does look like your style!
What a bastard who squanders his talent! It makes people look angry. "
"Thank you very much for the compliment!"
Harada didn't know how to answer the question. It's okay to praise him. After all, only talented people are qualified to squander their talents!
When it comes to talent, it brings tears to my eyes!
So Harada must be in a bad mood when he hears this.
"It doesn't matter what happens to these!
Can I continue to invest? I'll pick it up! "
"...! "The big warm man used such a gentle voice with pleading eyes, and he has retired from the team and has no competitive relationship.
No one can refuse it!
Even without a pleading expression, Harada put on such an expression and tone that Narumiya Mei, the arrogant grandma, could only surrender.
Not to mention now, even if he has a big face and is not handsome, he is just like Senior Chris, killing both men and women, old and young!
"Ah! I vote!
But this expression, Yami Dieyo! (Don't make that face.)"
"Thank you!"
"I told you not to make this expression! Who can refuse this! "Sendou turned his head and said.
"Sorry!"
"Well! Come back to home base quickly! "Seeing Harada who couldn't control his expression at all, Sendou sighed.
"How well do you control the ball now? "Harada asked as he picked up his catcher's mitt and squatted at home plate.
"Information? But it doesn't matter if I tell you!
Just give it a try Four-Quadrant! Can control the ball to the four corners, but the ball speed is too fast and sometimes there will be some deviation!
I didn't wear spikes today, so the deviation will be larger, and the ball speed may also be affected!
By the way, ordinary Forkball can also vote! oh! "
"No problem! Your bottom plate is very stable! The deviation is not big either! "Harada became even more excited.
"So! Then tell me Ball Trajectory!"
"Yo west! Low outer corner, Ball Trajectory on the edge of Strike Zone!"
"Piu!"
"Boom!!!"
"Diagonal Fastball!"
"Boom!!!"
"The outer corner is high!"
"Boom!!!"
"The inner corner is low!"
"Boom!!!"
"Fast Forkball!"
"Fast Forkball, the right-hander is down in the outside corner!"
"Changeup!"
Every time a ball is called, Harada's mood becomes higher. For him or the catcher, this is an extremely happy moment.
"Ten more goals! "I don't know how long it took, but Harada made the request again.
"That's it! What time do you think it is?
This is a rare holiday, do you really just want me to play baseball?
If our Sunglasses Uncle knew that I was pitching outside, he would tear me apart. "Sendou is speechless.
Seidou A prestigious sect of this level prohibits players from having such duels outside.
I'm really afraid of getting hurt!
Major League's team, even when baseball was an Olympic sport, would not let anyone go because they were afraid that the players would be injured participating in an international sport with such a high salary.
Otherwise, do you really think that the national team formed by the Nippon Professional Baseball Team can really compete with America Team?
Only then did Harada realize that it was already evening.
The two of us have been here for an hour.
"Sorry!"
"Stop apologizing! If you want to express your apology, treat me to a meal or a movie!
What a hard vacation! "
"Feel sorry! Let's go now!"
Sendou Although I thought the conversation between the two people was a bit strange, I didn't pay much attention to it.
"Alas! That's why Harada-san can't find a girlfriend!
Others have to propose everything. "
"Forehead! "Harada I didn't expect that after so long, this damn topic would come up again.
"Don't you have a girlfriend too?"
"Fuck you, heartless! "Sendou I didn't expect this good old man Harada to be so sharp, so I couldn't help but curse in my heart.
"Ahem! If I want to look for it, it's not like I can't find it! "Sendou, this steely straight man, was completely unaware of the situation around him, and actually spoke in a slightly uncertain tone.
"Hmm! really! It's really not difficult for you to find a girlfriend! "Harada said honestly.
(That's why creatures like good old men are particularly capable. They are hard to understand and at the same time hard to hate. They even cannot help but get close to and trust them.)
"Well! I can clearly see the advantages of Harada-san.
If I were a girl, I would be willing to be your girlfriend! "Sendou, who was praised, joked with a smile.
This guy is really worried that he can't find a girlfriend...
If Kuramochi, Isashiki and the others knew this, they would be so angry that they would skin him!
"Huh? "However, after hearing Sendou's words, Harada actually thought about it seriously.
Sendou is a person who is arrogant, gentle, mature, cold and arrogant, and also has a bit of a sinister streak.
His personality is full of popular female characters such as aloof lady, arrogant lolita and so on. If he were a female, he would also have a kind of Little Cutie.
It also has a contrasting and cute sense of déjà vu, and Sendou is a slender figure and a pool noodle. If it is the female version, it can be said to be extremely attractive.
Seeing Harada scanning himself from top to bottom, Sendou suddenly felt a little chilly all over.
"Hey! No way? "Sendou couldn't help but take two steps back and made a sound to try to attract Harada's attention.
"Don't get me wrong! I'm thinking it would be great if you had a sister!"
"Pity! I am an only child!
If I had a sister, I would probably be Brother Complex! "Sendou, who was startled, responded with a smile.
"That was really an accident!"
"You think about it! My lovely sister always feels like no one is good enough for her!
Right? "
"Say that! "Harada This is really the case if you think about it carefully.
"But! If I have a sister, and the target is you!
I would agree. "
"Don't worry! I will never agree!
Unless your sister looks nothing like you! "
