"Now that everyone's just returned and hasn't even shaken off their Koshien fatigue, they've already launched straight into intense training!

They're not planning to rest at all!" After the topic of Sendou ended, Senior Sachiko began complaining.

"After all, practice time over there was short, and both Yamaguchi-kun and Ono-kun said they'd put on weight!

And Sendou-kun was right just now—we need to shift our mindset too!

Our Koshien is already over!" Senior Yui said with a smile.

"Yeah! After all, it's the last summer!" Senior Sachiko said with a toothy grin.

"Huh? Wait... what's wrong, Haruno?

Why are you suddenly trembling?

Are you crying?" Senior Sachiko suddenly realized that Haruno was crying.

"Because... Senior Sachiko suddenly said it was the last!" Haruno thought of Senior Takako.

"You... still have four months, don't you?" Senior Sachiko blushed at those words.

"Exactly!" Senior Yui nodded with a smile.

"Only four months left!" Haruno emphasized.

"There are still four months!!" Senior Sachiko couldn't take it anymore and wanted to end the topic.

"It's five months...

We... our goal is to conquer the nation... right?" Sendou suddenly spoke up.

After hearing Sendou's words, everyone else smiled.

"Yeah!" Even Haruno nodded firmly.

"Come to think of it!

Is that game between those two teams on the seventh?

Let's go watch it then!" Sendou suddenly said.

"We have school that day!!" Senior Sachiko shouted in exasperation.

"I'll catch a cold that day and won't be able to get out of bed!"

"Hey!!" Senior Sachiko was practically stunned by that shameless logic.

If it had been Miyuki, he would have long since gotten used to it.

"Sendou-kun is interested too!" Senior Yui said with a smile.

"That white-haired guy nags all day long and drives me crazy, so I'll go see how much he's improved!"
