Before the start of the match, Xiaochun stared at her brother with a big smile on her face.

Although the summer Koshien was the first and last time the two brothers would enter Koshien together.

However, Koharu didn't get many opportunities to play in Koshien, so he desperately wanted his older brother's approval.

With Coach Kataoka's command, the match officially began.

The first and second grade teams First Attack, followed by the third grade teams.

"Attack! Tanba!"

"Teach these guys a lesson!!!" Before the tee shot, Isashiki put pressure on the center field again.

Tanba, who was already considered an ace at Koshien, is no longer the cowardly player he once was after the baptism of Koshien.

"Fushi!"

"Ping!"

"Missed it!"

"Ku! ku! ku!"

"Smack!"

"Out!"

"Hmph! He really aimed for the first ball!" Miyauchi-senpai exhaled, thinking to himself.

Kuramochi solved the problem with a simple curved ball.

Although Miyauchi-senpai's appearance time at Koshien was also limited, he did experience the entire Koshien.

And what's the most important thing for a catcher? It's their brain.

Seidou Koshien's draw in the second half was terrible, with consecutive draws against the winners' candidates. In addition, the pitching of the catchers from various strong teams in Koshien affected Miyauchi-senpai's pitching skills, which also improved significantly.

However, those involved are often blinded by their own perspective, and the younger members of the new team failed to realize this, since many of these veterans hadn't played in a formal competition in a long time.

Next up was Xiaochun, the second batter.

"Fushi!"

"Call out!"

"Smack!"

"Nice shot!"

"First goal, Inside Corner Ball!" Xiaochun gritted his teeth and said.

Kuramochi was solved by the curveball, and before the curveball changed, it was exactly the inside angle.

So the sudden inside straight shot prevented Xiaochun from getting a chance to shoot.

"Miyauchi-senpai!"

"I didn't expect you to have learned to use the last Ball Trajectory of the previous at-bat to influence the next batter?" Sendou looked at Miyauchi-senpai, feeling very happy.

"Puff!"

"Fushi!"

"Tread!"

"Forkball the outside corner after Inside Corner Ball kick, can you really hit it like that?" Miyauchi-senpai, somewhat surprised.

However, they didn't play well, their infield Ground Ball... This is what was supposed to be like.

"Ku! ku! ku!"

"Smack!"

"Out!"

Onisan made a quick sidestep and a diving save, catching the ball before it hit the ground.

Onii-san's personality is truly something else—he's even crueler to his own younger brother...

"Nice play! Ryosuke!!" (Kusunoki -Kusunoki-senpai)

Well done!

"Damn it!!" (Jun-san!)

"As expected of the winning second baseman!!!"

"This is the king of summer!"

The champions' play!!

"The seniors were so decisive and efficient!" Kanemaru exclaimed.

"It would at least land by now!! This ball!" Tojo replied.

"The seniors seem to be playing very smoothly!"

Tanba-san and Kominato- san, they must be even stronger after coming back from Koshien! (Kanemaru)

"Especially Tanba-san!"

That aura was truly extraordinary! (Tojo)

"Call!

This is going smoothly...

"That shows you really want to win!" Tanba said confidently when he saw that the third batter was Shirazu instead of Miyuki.

"Puff!"

"Fushi!"

"Call out!"

"Smack!"

"Nice shot!"

"The outside corner of the first goal is low!"

"How tricky!"

"Is Tanba's shot really that sharp?"

"Puff!"

"Then I'm even less likely to let you have your way!"

"Fushi!"

"Call out!"

"Smack!"

"Nice shot!"

"Smack!"

"Nice shot!!

The hitter is out!!!

"Ah!!!"

"Tanba roared it out!!!"

It's just Red and White Game!

"Three Up Three Down the current roster!!"

"Nice pitch! You idiot!!!" Isashiki-senpai cursed as he ran toward the bench.

"It's so beautiful, Tanba!"

"In excellent condition!... After retiring!!!" Onii-san is still as cunning as ever.

Although Tanba at Koshien was quite good, it was still much worse than today.

Tanba was deeply shocked by this sudden and fatal blow, and his expression was unusually comical.

"Beautiful throw, Tanba!"

"Looking mature is fine too, Tanba!"

Various teasing voices could be heard from the sidelines.

"This investment was really good!"

If we could do that at Koshien, winning would probably be much easier!

I remember being taken aback by the explosive power of the West Bunko team during the battle! "In the observation room, Head Manager Oota also praised Senior Tanba.

"I really look forward to seeing how he grows up!" Rei-chan said, adjusting her glasses.

Not only these two, but also Coach Kataoka, the entire coaching staff is happy to see the players' growth and the potential for the future.

"Is this all right?" Miyauchi-senpai and Senior Chris asked, having returned to the bench.

"Okay! In the next round, all we need to do is shut down his short game!"

Sendou is currently in a slump, so this is a rare opportunity to bully him!

There's no need to send a hitter ahead of him right now!

"But the next match might be uncertain!" Senior Chris said with a smile.

Upon hearing Senior Chris, Miyauchi-senpai breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems the seniors really want to have a good fight with us!"

"We, as active-duty Miyuki, wearing protective gear, said.

"They really want to teach us a lesson!"

"After all, you guys played so badly before!"

"Sendou! Can you please not bring this up again?" Miyuki said awkwardly.

"I won't go into the details of the several beautiful Long Hit hits in that game!"

That really is difficult!

Today, Tanba-san won't be easily defeated!

"One is something I could consider!" Miyuki a smile.

"Then there's nothing to talk about!" Sendou ran straight to the court.

It's been a long time since Sendou has played outfield in an official game!

The last time was back in the Koshien finals, which was more than a month ago!

When Furuya saw Sendou enter the game, he took a deep breath, adjusted his cap, and was full of Fighting Spirit spirit.

"Seriously! Let's go!!!" Miyuki shouted after a moment of exasperation when he saw Sendou rush off.

"Oh!!!"

Sawamura, meanwhile, was frantically swinging his arms in the Bullpen, trying his best to show that he wanted to go on stage.

However, the coach was not Coach Kataoka, but Miyuki, and he never intended to let him play early in the first place.

Even if there was such a plan, given Miyuki's Miyuki nature, seeing his performance, he would deliberately postpone it a little.

"Fumiya!! (Kusunoki-senpai's name) Aim and fire!"

"It's been a long time since I played in an official match."

After such a long wait, we're facing a ball that Furuya right from the start!

"It's something I've been looking forward to for a long time!" Kusunoki-senpai's Fighting Spirit was also ignited.

"Hey-hey!!

The base is really far back!

"Don't we need to be on alert for Safety Bunt?!" one of the seniors shouted, not knowing which one had seen Higasa's position.

"Whoosh!!" Someone was startled.

It's so embarrassing to say, I just choked on my own saliva.

I coughed for ages and almost threw up my lunch.
