"Um, excuse me, are you Sendou-san?"

"I'm Sendou, but... what's up?"

"I'm your fan!"

"..."

"Huh? Fan?" Sendou looked like he had no idea what was going on.

"Fan?" The teammates who were about to try hitting hardballs were also very surprised!

"Hey! Although Sendou-san hasn't participated in the Summer Tournament, he is also the ACE and Cleanup Hitter in official matches!

He is the only freshman first-string, starter, ACE, and Cleanup Hitter in the Wildcats' 18 years. Every one of them is a Wildcats record!

And Sendou-san's photos are posted on the Wall of Fame, but his image seems completely different from now!"

"Wall of Fame? What's that?" Sawamura shouted.

"It's the wall in the reception room full of photos!"

"Is Sendou in there?" Sawamura said, recalling.

"Hey! Sendou!"

"I don't know!" As he said that, Sendou's eyes began to move to the left, looking evasive, which was very cute. (From Azuma's little look in episode 47, 8 minutes and 50 seconds of Cross Game, I also especially like to do that, so the protagonist is also 2333.)

"Ah! That's it!" Takada said, remembering something.

"What is it?"

"I seem to have seen Sen-chan's expression just now on the Wall of Fame. That should be Sen-chan before he came to Nagano when he was a kid, right?

His hairstyle is completely different, so I didn't recognize him at first, but now that I think about it, he looks like Sen-chan."

"Really? That's an official photo, right? You were really naughty when you were little, Sendou! You even made funny faces in the official photo!" Sawamura finally found a chance and had to laugh at Sendou's Dark History!

Maybe it's not a Dark History for others, but for the usually serious and steady Sendou, 23333!

At this time, Sendou had already started rolling his eyes upwards, as if saying he couldn't hear whatever they were saying!

"Okay, you guys go hit the ball!"

Fumino came to defuse the situation. In fact, if it were someone else, these words would be completely useless, but it was very useful when spoken by Fumino, who was as beautiful as a princess in a fairy tale. Several people immediately went to prepare for hitting the ball obediently!

As Sendou's Childhood friend who sticks to him all day long, Fumino knows his personality very well. He would be embarrassed and shy about this kind of exposure of his Dark History.

That Old Man really did it! Sendou thought to himself.

"Junior, what's your name?"

"Tanaka Ryouta! That, Sendou-san, anyway, I'm sorry! It seems like I've caused you trouble because of my mistake!" The little shota bowed and apologized.

"Don't worry about it! So, Ryouta-kun, what do you need from me?" Sendou squatted down and stroked the other person's head. Although Sendou wasn't much older than the other person, Sendou's height made this scene not feel out of place at all!

"Can you give me an autograph!" The little boy was probably a little nervous facing Sendou and said slowly!

"I haven't practiced any autographs, is that okay?"

"Of course, thank you very much!"

A hardball and a pen were immediately handed over, obviously prepared in advance. Sendou generously signed his name for the other party. At this time, others also came to ask for autographs. Sendou was almost everyone's idol.

"Thank you very much!" Tanaka Ryouta?? bowed again to express his thanks!

"Thank you very much!" The other teammates followed suit!

"Don't worry about it! It's nothing, I'm not a star or anything!" Sendou waved his hand.

Afterwards, he watched his teammates hit with this group of kids. They might have found it difficult to adapt to the weight of the ball at first, but after a few pitches, they slowly got used to it. Although there were few long hits, the efficiency was good, except for someone's happy swing.

"Here!" When the others were almost done hitting, Coach Nakanishi handed over a bat.

"What's this for?" Sendou glanced at him!

"How about standing in the batter's box for a long-awaited try? Haven't hit a strike in a while, have you? A hardball!"

"No!"

"What a troublesome personality! Just accept the coach's kindness!" At this time, Fumino suddenly lost her temper and dragged Sendou away!

Coach Nakanishi smiled at this scene and quickly ran in a few steps ahead.

"I'm going to adjust the ball speed, this kind of ball speed is not for this guy to hit!" He left such a reason!

At this time, not only the Wildcats members were a little excited, but even the partners were full of expectations. It was the first time for them to see Sendou hit, and they began to gather around to watch!

"Okay, Fumino, let go! I'll hit, okay?"

Sendou took the bat and held it between the handle and the body. His already well-proportioned figure, coupled with that face value, expression, and eyes, looked a bit cool!

"Handsome! Yi ye! Yi ye! Yi ye!" Fumino suddenly became a little infatuated when she saw this scene, just like she stared blankly at the starry sky, then shook her head frantically trying to clear her head, and then became dazed again and didn't wake up!

She was already fascinated by this person's naturally dazed expression for a year!

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time indeed. I miss it a bit! This batter's box!" Sendou looked at everything in front of him as if he saw himself four years ago. Thinking of this, the corners of Sendou's mouth curled up slightly!

"Sendou he... is smiling with enjoyment? Such a serious smile!" Sawamura pointed at Sendou in surprise and shouted!

"Be quiet, Eijun!" Wakaba said, she could tell that Sendou was thinking about something else!

"Oh!"

The past is like the wind!

"Okay! Are you ready? Batter!" At this time, Coach Nakanishi's voice interrupted Sendou's memories!

"Heh! Okay, I can start anytime!"

"Then! Start!" Coach Nakanishi shouted at Sendou, but what no one saw after he shouted was his mischievous smile! (Old man, you've gone bad!)

Sendou didn't say a word, he tapped the end of the bat on the ground with one hand, even squinting his eyes as if he was reminiscing about something. That's right, it was the familiar sound from the familiar machine!

"Whoosh!" A white light flashed by!

"Dong!" A huge sound hit the baffle next to the batter's box, and at the same time completely pulled Sendou, who was reminiscing (and spacing out again!), back to reality.

That's how bad it is, the previous 14 consecutive championships, I found out I miscalculated, it should be 13 consecutive championships, it has been changed.
