Oni-san's Training

Sawamura naturally dared not disobey his orders.

"Haru, you're here too!" Sawamura, who had gone there with Sendou at noon, spotted Haru immediately.

"Tell my brother about the competition!"

"I see!

Onii-san!

"What urgent matter do you have to discuss with me?" Sawamura bowed to his uncle.

"No!

"You were really active in the match the day before yesterday!" Oni-san said with a smile.

"No, no! Is that so?"

So ga so ga! Even Onii-san found out!

"Bang!" Oni-san saw Sawamura's smug look and delivered a chop to his wrist.

"Getting carried away... forbidden!"

"It hurts!" Sawamura groaned softly, clutching his head.

"I knew you'd get carried away after hearing about the match, so I decided to tease you a little," Oni-san said slyly.

"Oh, right! Xiaochun!!"

I have something to tell you!

"I never expected you and Onii-san to be together!" Sawamura suddenly remembered what happened yesterday when he heard Onii-san's words and spoke up directly.

"If you think I'm in your way, I'll head back now!" Oni-san said with a smile.

However, Sendou noticed that the expression on his face looked dangerous.

No, no!

This is something I also want to hear from the older generation who once protected the second Yuma of Seidou!

No!

"Please listen to me!!" Sawamura said, bowing again.

"Two Yuma...! Something related to Kuramochi-senpai?" Koharu asked doubtfully.

Sendou went to watch the game yesterday, and he's curious about what Sawamura did.

"That's right! Xiaochun!!"

"That Flying Legs monster said to me, 'You bastard, you have no manners as a junior. You need to correct your habit of yelling like that!'" Sawamura said exaggeratedly.

"Forehead!

"I think calling someone a ' Flying Legs demon' is even worse!" Xiaochun said embarrassedly.

"That's right, although I'm often called a monster too!" Sendou said with a smile.

The monster in the Flying Legs Monster" is the same word as "Bake" and the word others use to refer to Sendou, so Sendou is also teasing Sawamura.

"Here we go again! Just thinking about it makes me so incredibly resentful!"

"Mmmmmm!!" Sawamura said through gritted teeth, his last words sounding like he was about to faint from anger.

He felt his form of address was quite ordinary, and that Kuramochi was picking a fight...

"Is this something you need to worry about with your brain?"

Why not just add 'senpai' after someone's name?

Thinking that the other party is an older person, it would be easy to do! Xiaochun actually suggested seriously.

"Is it really that simple to change it?" Oni-san said with a smile.

"That's right!" Sendou nodded and smiled.

"Can't you change it?" Xiaochun asked doubtfully.

Haruichi underestimated Sawamura's thought process...

"His competitive nature might just get him in trouble at this moment!!"

So, the instinct is to reject it! Onii-san's words hit the nail on the head.

"Indeed! Eijun-kun always has a point where he refuses to admit defeat!"

Even Furuya-kun is like that..."

"Don't lump me in with Furuya!!!" Sawamura shouted loudly upon hearing Furuya's name.

This is comparable to...

"It's this feeling of not giving up that's so strong!"

Even older people wouldn't agree!

That's why the instinct is to reject it! Onii-san, however, saw something more.

"As expected of Onii-san! You really understand!" Sawamura said happily.

It felt like I was being recognized.

"Indeed! Although many people call this guy something..."

But I still respect it very much!

"This is what it means to acknowledge the other person!" Sendou had never really thought that much before, but after hearing what his older brother said, he understood.

"I see, so it's just Eijun-kun's problem!" Xiao Chun understood.

"If that's the case, then it's very simple!" Sawamura said smugly.

"However, he is very disrespectful to Miyuki and Kuramochi!"

"And he's probably forgotten even the name of Shirazu!" Oni-san poured cold water on the idea.

"Cough cough!"

"... bringing up other people's dark history..." Sawamura choked on his saliva when he heard what his older brother said.

"Have you memorized the names of all your teammates on the same court?" Oni-san added insult to injury.

"Big brother! Even Eijun-kun couldn't possibly not know this, could he?" Xiaochun said embarrassedly.

"Then let's give it a try!"

To avoid you saying I'm bullying you, let's count the people from the summer!

Haruichi! Tell me the names of your friends who sat on the bench during the summer!

Just say the surname! "Onii-san hasn't forgotten that today's lunch break was for bullying Sawamura."

"Surname? Ah!"

"Let Eijun-kun answer the question about the name!" Koharu understood what her older brother was thinking.

"Interesting!" Sendou felt he had made a good deal by coming along this time.

"If you can name everyone from the summer, then I'll acknowledge that you can too..." Onii-san said.

Really? Wow!

"Haru, I'm counting on you!" Sawamura said with great Fighting Spirit.

"It won't be that easy, Eijun!" Sendou thought to himself with a smile.

Ah! Hmm!

So...,

"Kuramochi!"

"Youichi!" Sawamura replied instantly.

"Isashiki..."

"No... no, Jun!" Sawamura almost said "mustache," but managed to salvage the situation. Luckily, in Japanese, affirmative and negative statements are usually placed at the end...

"Pfft!" Sendou started to chuckle.

He also discovered that Xiaochun planned to follow the order of Xia Tian's speech, but without deducting the people present.

"Yuki..." Koharu continued.

"Tetsu... Tetsuya!"

"Masuko ..."

"Masuko-senpai is... Toru!"

"Can't someone in the same dorm answer instantly?" Sendou interjected.

"Stop being so verbose! I usually call Masuko-senpai!"

"Oh! Isn't this just using honorifics?"

"Don't worry about him, let's continue!" Sawamura chose to ignore Sendou's words.

"Well!

Royal..."

"Miyuki Kazuya!!!" Sawamura shouted before Koharu could even pronounce the word "Miyuki" properly.

"Wow, that was fast!!" Xiaochun exclaimed speechlessly.

"Because we're a pitcher-catch duo!!" Sawamura said smugly, his eyes practically sparkling.

"Are you sure you didn't just remember him by calling him by his name all the time?" Sendou's annoying voice rang out again.

"So verbose!!"

We are the captors! We are one!

"That's why you always call others 'Black-bellied Glasses '!"

That's you!!!

Although..."Sawamura's voice trailed off.

"Sendou-kun!"

"Eijun-kun, let's continue!" Koharu interrupted Sendou's triumphant attack with an embarrassed expression.

"Oh!" Sawamura was fully revived.

"Kominato..." Koharu was naturally referring to her brother's name.

Sendou's name goes without saying, after all these years together...

"Koharu... no... Ryosuke -san!" Sawamura blurted out again, then realized his mistake and used a denial to smooth things over.

"Huh? I was put at the back!" Onii-san looked at Sawamura with a dangerous expression.

"No! This... how should I put it?"

"I'll just say the one that sounds right first..." Sawamura panicked, sweating profusely as he replied in a trembling voice.

"Haruichi! Continue!" Oni-san was very satisfied with Sawamura's reaction.

"Well! Itai..."

"Hmm... Left Outfield!... Itai Ichiro!"

"It feels like I'm reporting a winning hand!" Xiaochun complained.

"I remembered it because of that...?" Sawamura said in a low voice.

"Is that so? Then I'll ask the next question." Onii-san thought Haru was too gentle.

"Longchuan..." Oni-san decided to ask a simple question first.

"Chris Yu!" Sawamura naturally answered instantly, referring to his mentor, the person he respected most.

"Shirazu..."

"Kenshiro!" Sawamura actually remembered Shirazu's name, even more so than his roommate Masuko-senpai...

(Reading is one thing, writing is another. Many Japanese characters, even if they sound the same, are written completely differently. This leads to many surnames with the same pronunciation actually being two separate characters, which is really troublesome.)

"Huh? I remembered that...!" Onii-san was also surprised, and made no attempt to hide it.

"As expected... I've remembered all the names of my comrades who share meals with me!" Sawamura said proudly.

"Alright, next one! The last one!" Oni-san's expression and tone clearly indicated that he wanted to teach this smug guy a lesson.

Of course, only Sendou discovered this.

"Yoshi!" Sawamura exclaimed excitedly.

"The only bench players who haven't appeared yet are...

"Tanba-san! Kawakami- san! Miyauchi -san! Kadota- san! Kusunoki -san! Tanaka-san! Higasa- san! Coach Kataoka and the least likely person to ask, Sendou-kun!" Koharu solemnly counted the remaining people in her mind, completely unaware of her older brother's emotional change.

"Ta... Tai!" Oni-san said a name that Koharu had never expected.

"Huh?" Koharu, who was mentally counting names, was taken aback, completely ignoring Head Manager Oota.

"Huh?" Sawamura's mind was full of question marks. He was still trying to remember who this was, and his mind was full of images of the contestants.

"Pfft! Cough cough! Holy crap!"

Sendou originally thought that his older brother would say a few unfamiliar names in the teens.

There happened to be Vending Machine nearby, so I bought a bottle of Coke. The first sip was followed by this name, and I immediately spat it out, almost swearing, which is quite unusual for me.

That was absolutely a killer move!!!

Head Manager Oota has a high profile, but from another perspective, his presence is also very low; he's practically invisible to everyone else.

"Head Manager Oota ...!" Oni-san emphasized each syllable, looking at Sawamura with a beaming smile.

"Head Manager Oota..."

"... That... that one with sideburns...?" Sawamura had a vague recollection of him; after all, he was someone he saw every day and who often shouted, so it was impossible for him not to know.

That's right!!

A social studies teacher with sideburns!!

"Hey! Try saying his name!" By the end, Onii-san was starting to lose his composure.

However, no one noticed except for Sendou.

"Uh!... Uh! Hmm! Uh-huh!"

"I... I give up...!" After struggling for a long time, Sawamura knew very well everything that the department head did in the team every day.

But the name...

"Who the hell knows his name!" Sendou couldn't help but think to himself.

"You're still far from good enough... you're just a half-baked amateur!"

"Let's go back to the drawing board and start over!" Oni-san lectured in a serious tone.

Sendou endured a very difficult time!

Furthermore, Sendou felt that his older brother probably didn't know either, which is why he confidently came to ask Sawamura.

"I am Sawamura Eijun! I'm going to be retrained right now!!!" With that, Sawamura ran off without a second thought.

"Eijun-kun ...!" Xiaochun said helplessly.

"Don't worry! That kid's an idiot anyway!" Oni-san comforted him.

"That's what they say, but..."

However, I feel I can't say Head Manager Oota's name right away!

"One righteousness" and such... Xiaochun said something astonishing in a serious tone.

"Huh?... Oh, that's his name!" Oni-san exclaimed in sudden realization.

"Holy crap!" Sendou almost blurted out for the second time.

Since Onii-san didn't know the name, Sendou already had a guess, he wasn't particularly surprised.

But how Koharu knew Head Manager Oota's name left Sendou completely baffled.

And Oota Kazuyoshi... what kind of weird name is that?!

"Huh?" Xiaochun was completely bewildered when she realized that her brother was actually bullying her...

"Haruichi! How did you know Head Manager Oota's name?"

"I know him so well and I didn't even know!" Sendou was amazed by Koharu's beauty.

"Sendou-kun?!?"

Koharu had no idea that knowing Head Manager Oota's name was such an important thing.

It's understandable that Onii-san didn't know, but as Sendou said, he and Head Manager Oota are really close!

If Sendou knew what Koharu was thinking, he would definitely be internally complaining.

"Don't even mention being that familiar with him. I watched so many anime in my past life, and although I don't remember much of it, I can guarantee I've never known his name before!!"

After school ends around 3 p. m., today's training will begin.

Sawamura had already forgotten about being bullied by his older brother at noon, and he became very energetic when training was mentioned.

Deeply moved by Saturday's match, Nishino went directly to the Practice Field with Sendou Sawamura, and the others to watch.

Furthermore, Sendou promised that if she became too engrossed in watching, he could take her home.

Although everyone around him knew perfectly well that this guy just wanted to slack off and go for a stroll...

Nishino's cheeks were flushed throughout the entire event, and she was very excited.

Even Sendou couldn't quite tell if it was excitement or the blush he felt from being with Sawamura.

"Roar!

Has the strike network been completed?

"Wow, that was fast!" As soon as he reached the Ball Net, Sendou saw the newly built Ball Net for the first time.

"Haha! Now I can really unleash my full power!!" Sawamura shouted excitedly.

When Nishino saw Sawamura's reaction, she laughed excitedly, probably because she thought Sawamura was cute!

"Even if I let you hit me, you still couldn't hit me!" Sendou retorted casually.

However, Sawamura completely ignored him...

"Nishino-chan!"

You can stand outside the fence; otherwise, you might get hurt by the ball.

"And the view from there is excellent." Sendou turned to Nishino and pointed to the viewing spot.

"Okay! Good luck then!" Nishino said and ran over.

The gesture of clenching fists in front of the chest looks rather cute!

Today's main focus was adapting a radio drama, so I wrote it relatively quickly. This part is my personal favorite storyline.
