The New Baseball Club

"Ah! Looks like the days ahead are going to be fun!"

The moment Miyuki lowered his head slightly and snickered, Sawamura, Furuya, and Kuramochi, who were standing together, all turned to look at him.

All that could be said was that he truly was the man those three cared about most...

"While the first-years are desperately introducing themselves, what are you laughing at?!!" Sawamura gave him a long-overdue lift.

Furuya also stared fixedly at the two of them, while Senior Kuramochi circled around behind Sawamura as he approached.

Then he unleashed a storm of kicks on Miyuki's backside.

"#!" Coach Kataoka had no way of dealing with this clown and turned his gaze back again.

The other first-years practically worshipped Sawamura.

But the next first-year due to introduce himself wasn't
