Hint

How was today's game?

In the evening, as Sendou returned to school and entered the cafeteria, Miyuki greeted him with a smile.

"So-so! Ukumori wins 5-1!"

The opponent is too weak to see anything!

"Besides, I don't like Ugumori's style!" Sendou said with an indifferent attitude.

"Soga!"

"You're the kind of person who directly says you don't like something, what kind of style is that?"

"You'll know when they fight Inajitsu."

"Sigh!" Miyuki became even more certain that Sendou was only watching the match so he could avoid training.

"What a troublesome fellow!"

"Sendou looked at the declaration of war message that a certain white-haired man had sent to his phone at some point and spoke up."

"What?" Miyuki asked, not having heard what Sendou said clearly.

The Sendou directly showed him the information.

"What did you do to him? Naruto is furious!" Miyuki looked at the various angry emojis and found it somewhat amusing.

"Go ask him yourself!"

"I don't have his contact information!"

"Didn't he ask you to go out back in junior high?" Sendou asked, startled.

"That wasn't done via cell phone!" Miyuki clearly didn't want to say more about it.

"Well! It doesn't matter!"

"By the way! Did you tell Rei-chan that you wanted to increase the number of attack nets?" Miyuki suddenly asked.

"Ah! She told me to say whatever I wanted yesterday, so I did!"

Has it already increased today?

"How could that be? But installation has already started, and the equipment has been purchased!"

It should be ready to use tomorrow!

That's really a great suggestion!

Wow, that's fast!

"Rei-chan is still as decisive as ever!" Sendou recalled how last year, just because of a match without Sendou, he decisively went to Nagano to poach Rei-chan from Sawamura.

"Yes!"

As they talked, the two of them walked up to the cafeteria lady.

Afterwards, the two started eating and didn't say much more.

How was today's game?

What kind of team is Ugumori?

Back in the dormitory, Watanabe-senpai was alone in the room. When he saw Sendou, he asked him a question.

"They are clearly weaker than us in terms of strength!"

However, today wasn't entirely fruitless!

That team keeps stealing bases once they get to base, which seems reckless and I don't like it.

The balance of the lineup is also very good, and the Center Batting Lineup has a strong hitting power!

They are a team that attacks based on momentum, but their defense is quite good.

The ace used his barely-there Four-Quadrant ball control and the speed difference of his Slow Curveball to defeat his opponent.

"Soga!"

"Do you think they have a chance of defeating Inajitsu?" Watanabe asked.

Although he is very good at analysis, he still cannot judge things based on what he hears verbally.

There was another powerful individual right in front of them, a clear point of reference.

"They can't win if it comes down to strength!"

However, baseball is not a one-man sport, and no one knows how well the new team at Inajitsu will gel!

They even got a bye in the first round! "Sendou was also helpless about this.

"I see!" Watanabe-senpai frowned.

"That's right!"

I overheard something at the stadium!

It seems that most of the players in Ugumori's team were teammates from the same junior high school era.

Their reckless behavior... this chaotic approach reminds me of a pharmacist.

Although Hisa-san Watanabe Hisashi will be observing both teams, could you please help me record the scoreboards for both teams during the second round of matches next week?

I don't really like watching videos!

"I think the scorebook and Hisa-san's notes are enough," Sendou said with a smile.

Sendou's words can be seen as a reminder to Watanabe-senpai.

Or rather, convince yourself that you should just get the scorebook.

Although Watanabe-senpai wouldn't think much of it, Sendou felt that this was a bit too willful.

Sendou himself is quite willful, but this willfulness rarely causes any extra trouble for the other party.

Of course, the information he heard from others was mostly just things he recalled after seeing the boy in the wheelchair.

Anyway, there's no way to verify when or who he heard it from.

"Okay!" Watanabe-senpai naturally agreed after hearing Sendou's words.

Furthermore, Ugumori is receiving even more attention.

When Sendou mentioned Yakushi's name, Watanabe-senpai realized that Yakushi's reckless fighting style was based on the desire to defeat his opponents.

In other words, it's a tactic used when one's strength is insufficient for a direct confrontation, but there's still a chance of winning.

In other words, Ugumori is very confident in his abilities and is ambitious in using this style of play.

East Tokyo is dominated by Teitou, with other teams not much different, Ugumori's target is very likely Teitou.

"In exchange, you have to teach me to read!" After agreeing, Watanabe-senpai joked with Sendou.

Watanabe-senpai often consulted Sendou on his studies.

That evening, Sendou slightly shortened what he had said to Watanabe-senpai and presented it as his reflection on watching the game.

After all, Coach Kataoka's agreement to let him watch the game wasn't entirely without conditions.

Although it wasn't mentioned beforehand, I still ask to keep track of the development of my team's fourth player.

The next day, a new week began.

The two girls next to Yoshikawa Haruna started chatting.

What is Sawamura looking at today?

"He immediately stopped watching ' Crime and Punishment ' last time, saying he couldn't remember the protagonist's name." Nishino's cheeks were a little red, as if she was very excited.

"I saw it; he was watching ' Your Lie in April '."

I hadn't thought of that, but not finding it really made me cry!

"I understand!!"

"Did you borrow this from him?"

"Yes! I showed it to him!"

"Sawamura seems to be more energetic today!"

"Did something good happen?" Nishino pretended not to know, even though she had gone to watch the game.

Nishino's blushing face is quite cute!

"Look! I'm next! Your expression gave away the whole plot!" Kanemaru shouted.

"What strange book are you reading again?"

"You'll be showing off again then!" Sendou said as he entered Sawamura's class.

This guy deliberately ignored Sawamura's tears, pretending he didn't know the story, and also ignored Kanemaru's voice.

"Hmm?" Sawamura hid the book in the desk with lightning speed.

The three girls, Haruna and the others, were stunned, but they weren't surprised, because Sendou had used this trick to snatch several books from Sawamura.

"Hey! Sendou!"

"We have to follow the order, we won't fall for it this time!" Kanemaru said.

"That's right! That's right!" Sawamura immediately agreed.

However, to prevent Sendou from forcibly taking it, this guy blocked the desk opening with his entire body...

"Never mind!

Oh, right!

Onii-san wants you to go to the Vending Machine in the student cafeteria at noon.

"I want to see how you're doing!" Seeing that he couldn't succeed, Sendou decisively gave up.

I planned to take a nap after I got back, but I overslept...

It's a bit late.
