Haruichi's New Look

"You've got an interview coming up, don't you? Is it really okay for you to be running here?" Sawamura asked Furuya, who was sprinting alongside him.

"I've had enough interviews!

They all ask me the same questions!!" Furuya said, clearly irritated by the interviews.

"Don't say something so luxurious!!"

"I didn't!!"

"Then trade places with me!!!"

"Furuya!! That's enough for today!!" Kawakami-senpai shouted just as the two were still trying to outdo each other.

"Huh?!

We just started!!" Furuya asked in confusion.

"That's enough!!

No!!

Absolutely not!!" Kawakami-senpai immediately delivered a three-part denial.

"You kept pitching throughout the games!

Your top priority is getting rid of the fatigue from Koshien first!" Kawakami-senpai explained after crushing Furuya's idea.

"That's right!! That's right!!

You should go practice how to handle interviews in a corner somewhere!!" Sawamura loudly chimed in.

"Hmph!!" Furuya reluctantly came down after turning off the gas.

Sawamura stopped running too, as though letting Furuya end practice without worries.

Otherwise, if Furuya saw Sawamura practicing, he would definitely think he was getting the short end of the stick...

"Honestly!

Every time I run with you, it turns into a sprint!" Sawamura said, resting his left hand on Furuya's shoulder.

Furuya did not respond at all, simply letting Sawamura sling an arm around him...

Seeing the harmonious scene between the three of them, everyone else smiled knowingly.

"The game is over!!

Kyoma advances to the finals with a five-to-zero victory!!!

Although Hongo Masamune came in as relief in the seventh inning, he still held the opposing team to No Hit!

Hakuryuu High School's super-mobile batting lineup managed only five hits!

Mima, whose high school on-base percentage exceeded eighty percent, was not allowed to reach base in this game!!

All of today's games are over!!

Tomorrow's final will be Osaka Seisho
