"Hey! Couples shouldn't always be arguing and bickering!"
After all, you two must have gone through a lot of hardships together!
"And I think you two get along really well!" Just as Sendou was wondering what to say, the taxi driver suddenly spoke up.
The two men were stunned. They had hit the jackpot; amidst the overwhelming Koshien promotions, they had encountered someone who had absolutely no interest in or interest in baseball.
"Um... Uncle! You've misunderstood!" Sendou was the first to react.
"That's right! We are student and teacher!"
He is the star player of our Seidou High School Baseball Club, and I am a teacher at the school and the vice-captain of the Baseball Club!
"And while we are friends, it's definitely not what you're thinking," Rei-chan quickly interjected to explain.
If this misunderstanding isn't cleared up, it could really be a matter of life and death.
This is important for both the individual and the school's reputation.
"Really?" The middle-aged man was still a little skeptical; he had been listening to their conversation the whole way.
"Really! This child speaks without any manners, is precocious, has a wide range of knowledge, and is the type who can chat with anyone."
"I can even chat with our team's coach!" Rei-chan affirmed.
"I see!
However, miss, this guy would make a good boyfriend!
"Please don't joke!" the two said in unison.
The two people who had spoken in unison exchanged a glance.
Haha! See?
"Then I'll be going now!" The driver left without even listening to an explanation. In fact, he had already figured it out; the two of them really didn't have that kind of relationship.
In Japan, friendship is highly valued. A good relationship between a man and a woman doesn't necessarily mean they are a couple, which is quite believable.
"Phew!" The Sendou, who was good at reading people's expressions, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Now is not the time to relax!"
"Now the school's reputation and my reputation are both ruined...!" Rei-chan was even angrier after seeing this.
Don't worry!
The man believed our explanation, and there was no misunderstanding!
"Besides, judging from his personality, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who would talk nonsense!" Sendou explained, seeing Rei-chan's worried expression.
Thanks to that uncle, the two of them were in a much better situation. The topic had been completely over, and Rei-chan could no longer be angry.
"Seriously! How do we look like a couple?" Sendou complained to Rei-chan.
"That's true! People these days are too prone to misinterpreting things!"
Okay, let's go in!
"Everyone's still waiting for the victory celebration!" Rei-chan sighed in response, then the topic returned to the team.
The topic has finally been steered in the right direction!
This celebration banquet will naturally wait for everyone to arrive, and besides, I've been starving ever since the competition ended!
As soon as they entered the area reserved by Seidou, everyone gathered around them.
That's the situation!
It will take at least two weeks, but I need to go to the hospital for another check-up in a few days to estimate the recovery time! Rei-chan gave a brief explanation of the situation.
"Doesn't that mean Sendou might miss the Autumn Tournament?" Head Manager Oota said in a panic.
The new team was already starting more than a month later than their competitors in the same region, and now their key player is injured. Head Manager Oota is the kind of person who is prone to worry.
After all, even if the game is over today, the third-year students won't retire.
Teams that achieve success at Koshien will have their outstanding players invited to participate in the Japan-America Goodwill Team.
There will also be National Sports Festival in late September.
"That's absolutely right!"
but,
"No matter what, all we can do is let Sendou-kun focus on recovering and accept whatever the outcome may be," Rei-chan nodded.
"Um!
That's settled then!
"Just follow the doctor's instructions!" Coach Kataoka nodded.
This is a celebration now; we'll talk about the new team when we get back.
" The Sendou!"
"We've brought back the Victory Banner, let's go in and take a look!" Captain Tetsu said after the coaches finished speaking.
"Yes! It's a real shame I couldn't go with them!"
"It was only for a short while, Rei-chan wouldn't even let me stay!" Sendou complained with a light laugh.
It made Rei-chan want to hit him; it was that move that Grandpa Sawamura personally taught him.
"Of course!!!"
asshole!
At that time, we didn't know what kind of injury it was. What would happen if treatment was delayed?!
"You bastard!" Isashiki-senpai cursed.
"Souta (that's it)! Sota!" Sawamura immediately chimed in.
Furuya nodded frantically in agreement.
The Double Pitcher looked every bit the lackey.
"And the new team, apart from you, is a bunch of useless guys!"
Completely unreliable!!
"These guys need you to lead them!" Jun-san cursed again.
"Soda!! Soda!!
None of it is reliable!!
"Uh-huh!"
The Double Pitcher agreed again... A group of second-year seniors on the scene were speechless at the sight of these two silly kids.
The key point is that these words were spoken by a senior, and by the fiercest Jun-san, so no one dared to refute them.
"That..." Sendou was both touched and speechless.
"Um... Jun-san!"
"It's not a serious illness, I should be fine in a little while!" Ono said weakly.
"What did you say?" Isashiki-senpai grabbed his throat and tightened his grip.
He knew his reaction was a bit exaggerated, and he was just trying to ease the awkwardness.
"Let's go!" Captain Tetsu said softly to Sendou.
"Um!"
So the group moved to another location, taking Sendou to see the banner.
"Well?
" The Evil Oni Senpai said that none of them are useful. Does that include me, Sawamura?" Sawamura suddenly realized this after most of the people had left.
Furuya was a slow-witted guy, and upon hearing this, he froze on the spot.
"How do you feel seeing the Victory Flag?" Captain Tetsu asked with a light laugh as he unfolded the Victory Flag for Sendou to see.
"Hmm! Average... so-so!" Sendou said, arms crossed and chin in his left hand.
"What?! So-so?"
You told me it was the highest! You bastard! " Isashiki-senpai also gave him a chokehold.
" Jun-san! I'm wounded!"
Don't worry! I won't touch your arm!!
Tell me, it's the highest!!
"The... highest!" After Sendou managed to say it with difficulty, Jun-san finally let him go.
"You bastard! You won't listen unless I use force!" Jun-san said fiercely.
After that, preparations began for the celebration banquet at Seidou High School.
Everyone else had finished showering, so Sendou went to take a shower. Ono volunteered to take care of Sendou, promising to strictly follow the doctor's instructions. The others took their seats.
The Double Pitcher wanted to go too, but Miyuki told them that they would only cause trouble.
Jun-san formally rejected their application, indicating that Miyuki.
Not long after, the two of them, Sendou and his companion, also took their seats.
After toasting with juice, everyone had a big meal.
The key point is this meal; the hotel is treating!
I feel like I won't be able to make up for the missing stamps today; it's been slower than I expected.
Let's see how much I can write by midnight!
