Endgame

"Because you're the captain!

I'm counting on you, Captain!!" Sendou replied with a smile when he heard Miyuki's tsundere question.

"Well... fine!

But every time I see you smile, it feels so fake!" Miyuki said helplessly.

"That's just your imagination!

I'm serious... half the time!!"

"I know, but every time I see that smile, I feel like I can't believe you at all!!

You evil man, you've tricked me into this state!

How much suffering have I gone through because of you?!"

"You have no right to say that!!" Sendou said helplessly.

"That's true!

I'm up!!" Miyuki said before turning and leaving.

Since the game was still underway, they couldn't celebrate the Home Run for too long. Miyuki also wanted to get himself back into condition as soon as possible!

"Hahahaha!

Nice Home Run!!

Just what I'd expect from Sendou!!!" Back at the bench, Sawamura stood in what looked like a horse stance, his hands clenched before his chest as he spoke excitedly.

"That hit had a lot of luck in it!!" Sendou said with a smile as he walked into the bench area.

"Sorry!

We'll have to rely on you again!" Coach Kataoka said solemnly at that moment.

"Well..., I only did what I was supposed to do!

If you want to thank me, wait until after we win!!" Sendou scratched his head, briefly at a loss for words, then smiled.

"Yeah!!" Coach Kataoka nodded.

Sendou had not expected Coach Kataoka to be so formal!

"Yahahaha!!

Just watch, Furuya!

We'll definitely turn this around!!" After Coach Kataoka finished speaking, Kuramochi laughed and shouted at Furuya in the on-deck circle.

Furuya, crouching in the on-deck circle, tightened his grip on the bat slightly.

He really was a child who didn't know how to express himself!!!

"Fifth Batter! Catcher, Miyuki-kun!"
