Just as Kuramochi had said, not long after, Ono and Furuya walked in.

"Is everything alright now?" Sendou asked first.

"Hmm! It's not hot anymore!"

It was just a low-grade fever to begin with; the doctor said that once the fever subsided, I could resume training.

"You're still thinking about training at a time like this!"

Well! That's not bad either!

Remember to eat well!

"Hi!" Furuya replied and went to get his food.

"By the way! Why did you bring a comic book?" At that moment, Senior Kuramochi noticed a comic book next to Sendou's hand.

"I plan to watch it while I'm eating!" Sendou replied casually.

"You really know how to enjoy life!" Kuramochi looked at Sendou, who had a sumptuous meal of meat, drinks, and this manga in front of him.

It has everything: food, drink, and entertainment.

"Really? I just enjoy eating well!"

Speaking of which!

"Speaking of which?" Kuramochi asked, puzzled, upon seeing Sendou's question.

"I used to be told that no matter what I eat, it always looks delicious," Sendou said uncertainly.

It was all told to him by his friends from his hometown, and he himself wasn't sure if it was true.

After all, he can't see himself eating.

"I don't know!"

"Because the food you usually eat is delicious, it really does look very appetizing!" Senior Kuramochi said in a normal tone.

At this moment, his usual frivolous or demonic tone was gone.

During mealtimes, everyone speaks very little. They usually start chatting after the meal, exchanging a few words here and there.

Everyone was enjoying the food in front of them.

Although most people are already able to eat three bowls of rice per meal.

But no one will find it easy.

Of course, although Sendou doesn't eat much and has poor stamina, he has a natural appetite, so people only worry that he eats too much.

She's practically the Pudding-senpai of this year.

However, unlike Pudding-senpai, his teammates were worried about his stomach problems, not that he would gain weight...

According to Kuramochi, if this guy could gain weight, he would already be a chubby boy when he joined Seidou.

"What's wrong? Furuya!"

"You stopped after just one bowl!" Ono-senpai asked, puzzled.

"I can't eat much!" Furuya replied.

"Really? Maybe you have a cold and that's why you don't have an appetite!" Ono-senpai immediately spoke up after hearing Furuya's response.

"Huh? Huh!" Furuya was taken aback at first, then immediately nodded.

Actually, he couldn't eat much before, but he forced himself to eat, and he often couldn't finish three bowls of rice.

However, Furuya was a little cunning and didn't say it.

"That way we can eat less today!" Ono -Ono-senpai said matter-of-factly.

"Well then! I'm going for a run now!" Furuya immediately got up to leave.

"Take a walk before you exercise!" Sendou said as he saw Furuya about to leave.

"Um!"

After Furuya left, everyone unconsciously started eating faster, and in less than half an hour, they had all finished their meals.

After dinner and before practice, we usually gather here to chat for a while before going to practice on our own.

Today, naturally, we'll have to talk about today's match.

Today's game was full of wonderful memories, allowing a group of people to discuss it together and further appreciate the charm of baseball.

The conversation naturally turned to Sendou, who hit Home Run, made a sudden Safety Bunt, made two fakes, and helped Maezono guess the opponent's pitch twice in a row.

Moreover, all of these performances were delivered at crucial moments.

The first-year students were especially excited. They had only been in high school for seven months and had two more years to go. They hadn't yet begun to feel the intense competition and pressure that Seidou brought.

The second-year regulars look at today's scorebook, review their own performance and the opponent's ball distribution, and analyze the game to seek improvement.

"That was clearly Infield Hit today, so why did it turn into a turnover?" Kuramochi complained again, looking at the scorebook in front of him.

This is the second time...

He was too focused during the game, only wanting to get on base, so naturally he's starting to complain now.

That was clearly a mistake!

"Teitou's pass went wide!" one of the second-year students laughed.

"But even if that ball hadn't gone astray, I could have reached base, right?" Kuramochi argued.

"However, there's no 'but,' the story has gone astray!!"

"Hahaha!" Then a group of people looked at Kuramochi and began to chuckle.

"Speaking of which, there's also the Maezono!"

They finally managed to get a Walk-off Hit.

But that expression, like a gorilla's, completely ruined the hero's image! Hahaha!

"But you really played very well!"

"It's so noisy!!"

"Who looks like a gorilla!" Maezono couldn't help but complain as well.

"Kominato! Let's go!" Maezono didn't want to stay and was teased by everyone.

The four core members of the second grade include the cunning one and the steady one, Shirazu.

Kuramochi and Maezono are often the subject of jokes among their classmates.

"Oh! Hi!" Although she didn't know why it was so early today, Xiaochun still agreed.

"Hey! Are you still going to practice?" the second-grader, who had just been joking with the Maezono student, asked in surprise.

"I can't just forget how I felt today!"

While your body still remembers the different swings!!

"And Sawamura has already gone out!" Maezono said.

"Wow!!! So handsome!" Guan-senpai Guan exclaimed exaggeratedly.

"That Eijun guy was texting on the bench outside the dorm room!"

I happened to run into them when I arrived!

"But I don't know if that time is still available." Sendou interjected at this moment.

That guy Sawamura usually eats dinner the earliest, then rests for a bit before going to practice, and he's the one who practices the latest.

"Wakaba, huh!!!"

"Are you texting Wakaba?!" Kuramochi exclaimed dramatically.

"I guess so!

Eijun played a lot of games today and performed very well.

"That guy's in a good mood, he'll probably chat for a long time!" Sendou said with a smile.

"Baka Village!!!" Kuramochi was so envious of his father.

"Then I'll be going now!" Maezono said.

After saying that, he took Xiaochun and left.

"Does this guy usually swing the bat like crazy?"

"Just how hard he works! This guy!" Several second-year students exclaimed, seeing that Maezono wasn't interested in chatting at all.

"Maezono -san looks so handsome!" One first-year student thought Maezono's back view was dazzling.

"Impossible!

"It looks like a gorilla no matter how you look at it!" Guan-senpai laughed.

"Hey, what are you talking about!" Senior Asou immediately interrupted him.

"Let's go too!"

"Ah! We can't lose to him!"

The other second-year students also need to practice.

"What should we do? Should we go too?" Shouji Higasa asked.

"Of course, I'm still a substitute today!" Senior Asou said fiercely.

"This guy's on fire too! Look!"

"Hey, what are you talking about!" Aso heard the voice behind him, turned around and cursed.

Miyuki looked at the atmosphere with a happy expression.

"Hey! Miyuki!" Senior Kuramochi has been revived.

"Um?"

"Furuya is still running! It's about time we stopped him!"

"He's a patient too!" Kuramochi asked.

"Ignore him! Let him run!"

The doctor said there's no problem!

This is the first time I've been replaced in that manner!

We must make him respond, even if it means his death!

"That's true!"

Anyway, it's just a low-grade fever. That guy must be really upset about it today!

"Seeing my rival throw such a great shot!" Sendou chimed in.

"It would be even better if this made him more obedient!" Miyuki suddenly said with a wicked smile.

"It's appeared! Its true nature!!"

"Black! Black to the core!" Kuramochi cursed.

We also need to be more careful!

The huge difference between before and after the interruption was like that of a completely different person!

It was a very rewarding competition in every aspect!

I only dared to say that after winning...

Right, Sendou!

"You're the captain, don't come to me with this kind of trouble!" Sendou replied without even looking up.

"You'll be the captain next year too!"

"Let me get used to it beforehand!" Miyuki persisted.

"Don't worry! After you retire, I won't be the captain!"

"Eijun is more suitable!"

"You're just finding it troublesome!" Miyuki retorted.

"Really! You have no right to say that!" Kuramochi yelled at Miyuki.

"Let's go practice on our own, shall we?"

"That guy in the Maezono, he almost drove everyone away with just one sentence!" Miyuki changed the subject and stood up.

"That's true! Let's go!"

"I need to practice my swings properly too!" Kuramochi nodded.

"You two need to practice too!" he said speechlessly as he saw the two turn to walk the immortal Sendou.

Is he the only one who doesn't want to practice today?

"What about you? Are you coming with us?" Kuramochi asked, turning around.

"No! I'm going back to my dorm!"

"Then let's go together!"

Afterwards, Miyuki, Kuramochi, Sendou, and the two second-year seniors went out together.

When they passed by the dormitory, they found Sawamura still sitting on the bench with a silly grin on his face, texting.

And they even whispered what they had posted.

"Hey! You've already said it!" a second-year student reminded him with a smile.

"His happy expression... it makes me so angry!"

"Well! Actually, he threw really well!"

A perfect relay!

And he threw the ball all the way to the very end.

He's practically our Relief Ace!

The two second-year students who were traveling with me chatted with a touch of affection in their voices.

Sawamura is definitely the Group Favorite!

"I feel like I'm on fire!!!" Sawamura muttered to himself after sending another text message.

"You're still here!"

"I've already finished eating and am back!" Sendou complained, this guy actually chatted for so long.

I felt a little envious; he actually had girls, and more than one...

"You're texting so leisurely!"

"There's definitely more than enough!" Miyuki also remarked.

The two of them were singing in unison, and seeing Kuramochi's bewildered expression, they marveled at their perfect understanding.

"Uh!!!" Sawamura was startled awake by the sound. He had been sitting there for almost an hour, completely forgetting that he was supposed to be resting after a meal and was about to start practicing.

"Furuya is still running right now!"

"You've been running for at least forty minutes!" Miyuki saw Sawamura's expression and immediately understood what he was thinking, so he urged him on.

"What?!

That bastard actually ran away!!

"You've been sitting here too long! Baka!"

"Wakaba, huh!!!"

"Is that Wakaba's text message?!" Kuramochi suddenly remembered what Sendou had said earlier and shouted.

However, Sawamura had already disappeared.

Sendou already knows about his friends' situation. Ono has a very good fortune in the lottery, and with the two years of junior high school, Sendou has laid a very good foundation for them.

With the training he received in high school, even though he didn't play dominant baseball...

However, thanks to various Small Ball Strategy and skillful teamwork, they easily defeated their opponent and advanced past the first round.

Furthermore, it is expected that this Autumn Tournament will reach the third round, at which point we will encounter the strongest teams.

"Are those two about to start sprinting again?"

"What a spirit!" Sendou said with a smile, watching Sawamura's retreating figure as he ran away after his house was raided.

Kuramochi is still deeply affected!

The thought of Sawamura and Wakaba chatting for over an hour made him want to perform some judo.

The other two seniors have also said goodbye and gone to the Indoor Practice Field ahead of time.

Just then, Sendou's phone rang, so he started answering it.

"What's wrong, Rei-chan!"

Okay! I just needed to borrow a computer!

See you later!

"Was that Rei-chan calling?" Miyuki asked after Sendou hung up the phone.

"Okay! Let me go to the Supervisor's Room."

"But it doesn't seem to be anything urgent, it's something I can choose not to go!" Sendou replied.

"By the way, you often borrow computers from the Supervisor's Room, don't you?"

"Do you really use a computer?" Kuramochi a wicked grin.

"Besides computers, what else is attractive there?"

Seriously!

"I'm leaving now!" Sendou replied helplessly, casually waving to the two people behind him.

"Miyuki!" Kuramochi asked in a low voice after Sendou left.

"Um?"

"Do you think Sendou and Rei-chan are really not dating?"

"What about the Furuhashi?" Kuramochi asked in a low voice with a strange expression.

"Why do you say that?" Miyuki asked, puzzled.

"Don't you think their relationship is too good?"

Look!

Do the two of you chat frequently in private?

During the summer preliminary finals, they looked like a couple.

"You really are a gossip!" Miyuki laughed.

"The thought of Sawamura having a girl makes me furious!"

"But that can't be!"

Sendou is such an emotional idiot!

He can tell at a glance which boy other girls like, or which girl other boys like.

However, when it comes to himself, he doesn't see this at all!

"That's really strange!!" Miyuki said, feeling that Sendou was quite an interesting person when it came to matters of the heart.

"Really? That makes me even angrier!"

Both of them have childhood sweethearts, but they are completely unaware of it.

"I'm so envious!!!" Kuramochi said, a little louder.

So, which side are you on?

"I'm standing here... huh?"

"Tetsu-san?!!" Kuramochi suddenly realized that the voice didn't sound like Miyuki's.

Turning around, I saw an adorable Gossip Tetsu appear, looking quite gossipy.

"I'm not taking sides!" Kuramochi left without looking back.

Wait for me!

"You're running too fast!" Miyuki followed after him.

"Huh?" Captain Tetsu tilted his head in a daze.
