Holiday Over

After the New Year's shrine visit, Fumino moved straight into Sendou's house and planned to stay until school started.

After all, Fumino's father was a university professor, and the two of them had a terrible relationship.

Although Fumino's father cared about her, he wasn't worried at all when he heard she would be staying with Sendou.

Of course, Sendou had one necessary condition for Fumino staying at his house.

She was absolutely not allowed into the kitchen...

As a result, Fumino and Sendou ended up sharing a room. His grandfather and grandmother gave them godlike support, rendering Sendou's objections useless.

Sendou could only sigh and think to himself, Good thing my house has plenty of beds... (A god-tier straight man.)

"Hey!! Sendou!!

Get up!!!"

Sawamura's recovery ability was downright terrifying. The next day, that guy was already back beneath Sendou's window...

"You bastard!!

The new year's visit was yesterday, and you're here again?

Do you know what time it is?!!" Sendou flung open the window and cursed.

"Of course I know the new year's visit was yesterday!!

Hurry up and come practice with me!!!

I haven't pitched at all during Winter Training Camp!!"

"You baseball idiot!!" Sendou muttered, clenching his fist.

"I firmly refuse!!

Why should I spend my hard-earned vacation practicing with you?!

And Winter Training Camp just ended. I'm exhausted to death and need to properly recover my strength!!

Weren't you the one yelling, 'I'm free,' the day before yesterday?!!

Is this freedom?!!

Die!!

Go find Ono and the others!!!" Sendou then unleashed a furious barrage of words.

"But then I won't be able to pitch!!

Please!!" Sawamura pleaded with a pitiful expression.

When it came to Sendou, this guy had finally learned a little.

Instead of pestering him, he acted cute...

"That won't work on me!!
