In the evening, everyone ate the barbecue and sauce marinated by Sendou!
"Delicious!"
"This meat is super delicious! How do you cook it! It's amazing!" Akio, a foodie, asked while eating!
"Secret! By the way, Akio!" Sendou, who happened to be sitting next to him, suddenly called out to the little fat man!
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"I told you during the summer vacation that you wanted to lose weight, right? How much weight have you lost now?" Sendou continued.
"Uh!...!" Akio's movements began to stiffen!
"2kg!"
"We need to lose at least another 3kg before autumn!" Sendou said while poking Takada's belly with his hand!
"..."
"Huh?" Hearing no response, Sendou looked away from his belly and raised his head.
I discovered that Takada has a Buddhist look on his face!
"You guy, don't try to get by in a daze!"
"Yeah!" After hearing what Sendou said, Takada made a sound about as loud as a mosquito.
"This one and that one are all troublesome guys!" Sendou took a bite of meat by the way.
"You have no reason to say that! Are you the one who makes people worry the least?" Fumino cursed in his heart after hearing Sendou's words.
After dinner, we practiced independently as usual. No one gave up due to an exhausting day of competition, because everyone knew that they would go back to Nagano in a few days, so everyone wanted to use all the remaining time to become as strong as possible.
It can be said that what happened today was a big blow to everyone. I feel that I have practiced so hard for so long, and Sendou also admits that everyone is capable.
However, in the actual game, they were unable to show their strength. This was what everyone was most unwilling to accept. In the end, they relied on the opponent's mistakes and Sawamura to force everyone to win the game.
Everyone is holding back their energy! I hope to produce results, I hope to help Sawamura, I hope... All kinds of hopes make everyone Fighting Spirit full of hope, but Sendou also spoke out at the right time to limit their practice volume to prevent injuries caused by physical overload.
Sendou, Wakaba and Fumino, the three of them went back early to take a shower. At about 8 o'clock in the evening, the three of them went to Sendou's room as agreed in advance.
The others also came back after reaching the training volume required by Sendou, took a shower and went to rest early!
After all, today's game is a big drain on everyone, especially mentally. So I went to bed very early at night and slept very soundly.
"The last few days of practice have all been changed to hitting drills. After the warm-up, it's just hitting and bunting! Everyone has to add all the previous Imagination Practice into it. You have watched yesterday's video many times. Let me imagine Final Inning, imagine yourself as the opponent's last four at bats. When you hit, think of it as two outs and three bases. When you bunt, it's one out and three bases. Use hypnosis to put pressure on yourself. The conditions are limited. Since you can't play the game all the time, use your imagination to get used to the crisis. Do you understand?
"Hi!!!"
"Then let's begin!!!"
This is the solution that Sendou can think of. Use imagination to imagine every attack and defense as a crisis and a situation of great pressure.
There was no record of yesterday's game, not only because no one knew how to record it, nor could anyone understand it, but also for a team with extremely immature skills like theirs, it was not necessary. Perhaps even those who graduated from junior high school might not be able to reach this level.
And Sendou also feels that nothing is more useful than video recording.
Time will not wait for anyone. If you stop, you will find that an unknown amount of time has passed in the moment of reality in your consciousness.
And when you are immersed in one thing, for a moment in your consciousness, you don't know how long time has passed. Although you don't know how long it has passed, they are completely different. In the former, you stay where you are, and even the knowledge and technology you have mastered will regress. But in the latter, although time also flies by, not a minute or a second is wasted. The efforts made every minute and second will be rewarded, but it is not necessarily a visible reward!
"Be careful on the road!"
"Yeah!" Tokyo Station A boy and girl stood facing each other!
"Akila!"
"Huh?" Sendou, who had just turned around, turned around when he heard the sound, but he only felt a blur in his eyes, a flash of blue light, and there was only one person in his arms.
"..."
"Will you come back from winter vacation?"
"Well! I can't play games in winter!
But even if we can play, Akashi is such a bad baseball team, no school is willing to play Practice Match with us. "Sendou said softly, although the words were not very pleasant.
"Remember to contact me!"
"Didn't you send me messages every day before I came here?... It hurts!" But before Sendou could finish his words, he fell silent. Although it wasn't that he wanted to shut up, it was that his waist had been twisted to an unknown degree.
So after the silence, he said quietly that it hurts, yes, that's right, not the kind of emotional words.
"If you have time, you can come to Nagano to watch our game!"
"Yes!" Fumino buried his face in Sendou's arms and agreed in a dull voice.
Sendou I don't know if I heard this sound because I was choking or because I was muffled by my clothes, but it doesn't matter anymore.
"Also! Although we have a good relationship, we shouldn't hug him like this and never let go, right? And he's still a junior high school student, still 12 or 3 years old.
... It will be misunderstood that we are lovers.
It hurts! "
"Fumino Don't just pinch people at every turn, okay? Where did you learn this?...!" Finally, he could only shut up under the severe pain that struck him again.
"You bastard!" Fumino took out his head and said angrily.
"I'm telling the truth! It's obvious that a child has to pretend to be an adult to hug me, but he still wants to pinch me?" Sendou said mid-sentence and nimbly turned sideways to avoid the attack.
"Saint Seiya will not be defeated by the same thing twice... that... three times!"
"..."
"... See you later!" Seeing Fumino looking at him angrily, he smiled, put his hand on Fumino's head and said softly, then turned around and got in the car, where his friends were waiting for him!
"Stop treating me like a child! Sendou Akira You are a bastard!!!"
For a moment, the people next to him looked sideways. Fumino was still so young when passers-by... children nowadays are so precocious. As they watched, their faces became redder and redder, and then they turned around and ran away. Well, yes, they just ran away.
"Haha! Sendou, I didn't expect you to have... that! How do you say it? Forget it, you are actually like this!" Sawamura said, stretching out his hand to show his little finger, a gesture to express that Furuhashi Fumino turns out to be your girlfriend!
