Head-on Showdown

"Is that Sendou... going through a low period?"

Thank you to the supervisors and seniors for the Practice Match we organized!

"How can we best repay them?" This was the thought that most of the second-year students had.

"I... I feel like I've completely lost all face in my life!" Kuramochi said.

"That's true!"

As seniors, we can't do anything! All we can do is give it our all! The one who speaks so eloquently is naturally the Maezono who can say the most beautiful words right now.

"I! I absolutely want everyone to agree x2" (Sawamura, Furuya)

Afterwards, Miyuki, who was Pitching Practice with Furuya, finally had time to recall what Captain Tetsu had said to him, and with Sendou's silhouette in the background, his mindset became much more resolute.

"Alright, let's go!"

These guys all look like they haven't woken up yet, let's wake them up! Kadota!!!"Isashiki-senpai, holding a megaphone, sat on the bench with an arrogant attitude, pointing out the state of affairs, and even imitating the Kansai of the Azuma Kiyokuni.

Kadota broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing his words; he wasn't the type to deliver a good blow.

"Especially that pitcher!!!"

That's completely non-controlling, it's outrageous! Get him off the court already!

I'll crush you all!!

"Your Kansai imitation is terrible!" Onii-san complained to his fierce-looking Isashiki-senpai.

"Ha ha!

The third-grader's voice was very loud, and his momentum was really strong! The OB next to him also laughed out loud.

"It's impossible to tell who's currently active now."

Furuya, displeased with Isashiki-senpai's rant, turned on the gas stove to make his presence known.

"Furuya!"

"Oh?"

Miyuki interrupted his gas stove as soon as he opened his mouth.

"You don't have to think too much about it!"

Throw it all your way in!

These people definitely won't let us easily take the elimination count!

Instead of thinking about things like allocating sports, why not use all your strength to confront them head-on?

Hey!

"Let's use our power to crush our seniors!" Miyuki said with a wicked grin.

After figuring things out, he was full of energy and wanted to win this Practice Match seriously.

This was also his way of repaying his predecessors, or rather, expressing his attitude towards the Sendou.

The third-year seniors had different expressions. Most of them broke out in a cold sweat, surprised by Miyuki's actions. Isashiki-senpai's veins were bulging, and so on.

Furuya's aura is absolutely overwhelming.

"That's it!!!" Miyuki saw this and tried even harder to stir up his emotions.

"We'll enjoy the Head-on Showdown the fullest, so we'll leave the ball to you guys if it flies over there!"

"Defend!!!" Then he started provoking the defenders again.

Anyway, a group of people were startled by him.

"What kind of instructions are these, you bastard?!"

Look how excited Furuya is!

"Isn't that just like that idiot?" Kuramochi cursed, veins bulging on his temples.

"That's right!! That's right!!!"

"Please think carefully before giving instructions like you would a captain!" Kuramochi's "idiot," Sawamura, cursed as he finished speaking.

"That idiot is talking about you!"

You still say you're right?

"Baka!" Kanemaru behind him was stunned, but he only thought it to himself.

"You've got some nerve, Miyuki!"

We'll accept your challenge for Head-on Showdown!

"Don't destroy yourself with Four Balls!!" Isashiki-senpai in with a curse.

This time, Seidou's bad temper led him to vent his anger on everyone.

"Hahahaha!" Sendou laughed heartily in the middle and outer fields.

"What are you laughing at, you bastard Sendou?" Isashiki-senpai immediately shifted his attention to her.

However, although Sendou stopped laughing heartily, he was still secretly chuckling.

As a result, Furuya was in top form, striking out the 8th, 9th, and 13th batters with his fastest pitch.

Even Tanba-san exclaimed in his heart, "This is incredible!"

Although they are all straight balls right in the center.

"This is Furuya's original pitch!" (Jun-san!)

"The game is getting interesting!" (Onii-san)

Captain Tetsu has already shown everything with his aura.

"Are you two idiots? Aren't these balls basically all in the center?"

Furuya, put away your aura!!!

"And Sendou, stop laughing!!!" On the way back, Kuramochi his anger wildly, cursing at everyone he could find.

That ball placement was a truly frightening experience for the defense.

"Don't tell me you're planning to keep using this pitching method!!!"

"This guy will definitely keep going!" Miyuki laughed.

"Ah?!

How could attacking the top lane possibly work?!

That's incredibly reckless!

"Haha! But... won't this create a really high-spirited atmosphere?"

"Isn't it exciting?" Miyuki laughed.

Upon hearing this, Kuramochi wanted to hit someone.

"Haha! Indeed!!" Sendou echoed.

"Hahaha, you idiot!" Kuramochi immediately retorted.

"We're competing against our seniors who are giving it their all right now!!"

That team, mostly composed of Koshien champions!

What should we do if we, as the players, cannot respond to them with our performance?

Doesn't it feel exciting?

and...,

We have to get it!... Autumn Tournament!!!

The match schedule hasn't been decided yet!

Perhaps saying this so early is putting pressure on you.

But... this is the best way for us to repay your kindness! Miyuki's smile was captivating.

In Miyuki's mind, this team is no longer just a one-man team led by Sendou.

"Puff!"

"Fushi!"

"Call out!"

"Smack!"

"Nice shot!"

"Puff!"

"Fushi!"

"Call out!"

"Ping!"

"Out!"

"Two are out!"

"I think it's almost impossible to defeat Senior Tanba today."

Before pressing and closing out, stick to one Ball Trajectory and attack aggressively!

As long as there are runners, we must proceed steadily and diligently to expand the opportunities.

This is also what the supervisors hope for—to prevent us from overthinking!

"Let's do this right now, just like the things our supervisor used to tell us!" Miyuki said, then put his hand to his mouth as if making a megaphone.

"Go for it, Kuramochi!"

"Stop nagging! You idiot!"

"Ping!"

"Safety!"

"Haha! It's all thanks to my cheering!"

"We should seize this opportunity as much as possible!" Miyuki said with a smile.

"You've suddenly become quite talkative!" Sendou interrupted Miyuki, who was feigning Miyuki.

"But he did reach base! Hey!" Miyuki turned around with a mischievous grin...

"That bastard!!!" Kuramochi, on first Kuramochi, glared fiercely at Miyuki.

"That irresponsible bastard!"

"Smack!"

"Safety!"

While dodging the restraints, Kuramochi was also building up his anger towards Miyuki.

"What a joke! This bastard! He's saying those irresponsible things again!"

Standing on that stage requires an incredibly arduous journey!

It's not as easy as you make it out to be, you know that perfectly well, don't you?

In this way...

"Smack!"

"Safety!"

"So... it's like you've instigated it, and that's what's most infuriating!!!"

"Puff!"

"Stealing a base!!!"

"Fushi!"

"Call out!"

"Smack!"

"Bad ball!!"

"They clearly did so much to restrain us!"

"Call out!"

"Smack!"

"Safety!"

"You bastard!"

Are you satisfied now?!

Now, the only way forward is to face the challenge head-on!

Rise to the challenge!

"Kuramochi, glared fiercely at Miyuki and shouted in his heart."

"The runner has entered the scoring zone! Shoot it out!"

Kominato!!

"Big brother!" Xiaochun put the baseball bat to her mouth, but her eyes were on her brother.

What he probably wants most right now is his brother's approval!

However, it was precisely Oni-san himself who stopped him this time.

Due to Miyuki's previous declaration, the enthusiasm of both sides has reached a certain level.

Neither side was willing to give in.

Next up is the turn of the veterans to take over the top lanes.

And he's the old man right off the bat!

Miyuki kept his word and Head-on Showdown Miyuki in the Strike Zone every time.

As a result, after a lot of pitches, he finally managed to hit a pitch that he could hit, allowing Onisan to get back on base...

However, this does not mean that Onisan's run to base was very easy.

On the contrary, it is full of thrills.

When a player is in full Furuya, he rarely makes half-hearted straight shots, and even bad Ball Trajectory to the outside corner will be thrown very low.

With that speed and power, it's Ball Trajectory that even Raichi Todoroki could defeat.

Not to mention the constant worry of missing the target with Fast Forkball.

It can only be said that Oni-san won by a narrow margin...

"It's my turn, you bastard!"

Prepare yourself!

"Furuya!!!" After Onii-san reached base, Isashiki-senpai walked up menacingly.

"Puff!"

"Piu!"

"Thump!!!"

"Nice shot!!"

"I see! This goal is acceptable!"

"Come on! You bastard!!!" Isashiki-senpai first praised calmly, then her expression changed again.

However, the louder he shouts, the higher Furuya Fighting Spirit will rise!

"Puff!"

"Piu!"

"The same Ball Trajectory?"

"Thump!!!"

"Nice shot!"

"Fast Forkball!"

"Puff!"

"Piu!"

"Die, you bastard!"

"Bite!"

"Na..."

But the next second, Ground Ball, it was clear that Jun-san wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into...

They can't even hit a short game, they just Ground Ball, they can't even advance the bases.

"Not a nice short-sleeved shirt!" Oni-san said with a grin.

But there's nothing to worry about, because the next hitter...

"Fight back! Tetsu!!"

"Boom!!"

Seeing Captain Tetsu's imposing manner, Furuya's aura was once again unleashed.

Seeing this, Onii-san smiled slightly again.

"Puff!"

"Furuya! Runner!!!"

Seeing that Furuya wasn't looking at first base at all, Maezono was about to remind him to use his eyes to distract the opponent before throwing, but he noticed that Furuya had already started to step, and Onii-san had decisively started running.

"Piu!"

"Thump!!!"

"Bad ball!!"

This shot also failed to go into the Strike Zone.

However, the outside corner was low enough and the Ball Trajectory was tricky, so Captain Tetsu couldn't get a chance to shoot.

"They really don't pay enough attention to the runners!" Oni-san said with a laugh after easily stealing a base.

However, he also knew that Furuya had been Fighting Spirit to the extreme and his attention was highly focused on Captain Tetsu.

Not to mention runners, they don't even care about fast pitching with a fixed pitching posture.

"Hey! Are you going to have to Head-on Showdown against Tetsu-san head-on?"

"That bastard!!" Kuramochi thought to himself in surprise.

"That's what makes it fun!"

"Just how good is our new trump card?" Sendou wondered to himself.

"Puff!"

"Piu!"

"Ping!"

"Puff!"

"Oh!!!"

A gasp rippled through the crowd as the ball landed just a few meters behind first base, and only about a ball's distance from the boundary line.

That means it almost became a Long Hit!

"Puff!"

"Piu!"

"Thump!!!"

"Nice shot!"

"Haha!! After two consecutive outside straight shots, he followed up with Fast Forkball. With that kind of ball speed, even Tetsu couldn't react in time!"

"It was just Practice Match for the Red and White Match!"

But my heart is beating so fast!

"Me too!" The observer on the sidelines was already excited, his adrenaline surging.

"That ball that smashed!"

Ideally, you should be able to keep the pitch low and throw it into the Strike Zone!

bring it on! Furuya!

This might be the only chance I have to get the number of eliminations from Tetsu-san!

"Puff!"

"The runners have started!!!" Oni-san seized the opportunity to steal a base.

"Piu!"

"Thump!!!"

"Nice shot!"

"Call out!"

"Smack!"

"Out of the game!!"

"Oh!!!

Tetsu-san struck out without a hitch!

And it was a double kill! ×N" Countless people on the sidelines exclaimed in unison!

"Really?! Furuya?!"

"No! It must have been a coincidence!!" Sawamura was truly shocked; he couldn't even close his mouth!

Isashiki-senpai had just unleashed the Ground Ball" move, had an unusually "kind" expression.

"That was the best shot of the day!" Kanemaru shouted.

"That was just a coincidence, Kanemaru!" Sawamura immediately denied.

"Even if it was just a coincidence, that straight shot was amazing!!"

"Stop your nagging!!!" Kanemaru retorted.

"Hey!"

"Hey, what the hell?!"

"Furuya struck out his sixth batter so quickly!!"

"Hahaha! The engine has been running at full speed since the last game!" Seeing such an exciting match, the audience was naturally full of laughter.

"Even if it was only for a moment!"

But Fast Forkball did flash through my mind! "Captain Tetsu, who struck out, looked at Miyuki with a big smile.

Miyuki wore a smug, mischievous grin.

This guy was the one in charge and caught Furuya's fastball, taking down Oni-san who was heading for Furuya base, and then immediately changed the field!

This can be described as a two-birds-with-one-stone strategy. If it weren't for the straight ball, Miyuki would probably have repeated his move of getting up early to receive the ball with a backhand while simultaneously passing it. (This is reminiscent of the famous scene in the Summer Yakushi Game where Miyuki used Furuya Ground Ball to Force Kill the runner.)

"That's wonderful! Things are moving in a positive direction!"

If one step is wrong, the Four Balls might destroy the entire system!

"... Given this guy's condition!" Miyuki finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Furuya's face was flushed with happiness, she was extremely cute and looked very comfortable.

I'm speechless. I was typing when I suddenly felt a bit cold, and then I realized the stove had gone out, and I was out of tinder. I had to get dressed and go out to get some in the middle of the night...

Finally, I'm asking for votes...
