Seeing what happened with the first pitch, Sendou frowned slightly. Though he had used wooden bats before, it had been far too long ago.
And seeing the wooden bat reminded Sendou of the girl who had once stood on the pitcher's mound and faced him!
I heard she's doing pretty well as a pro!! Sendou muttered to himself.
Uh! Why did I think of that? I want to crawl into a hole!!
Sendou's expression gradually turned awkward as he inadvertently remembered that he had once seen all of her.
Even after several years, Sendou still felt so embarrassed he wanted to disappear.
Only this steel-hearted straight man would react like that. Anyone else would probably have worn a lecherous grin!
After all, that woman was a stunning beauty in both figure and looks as long as she put on even a little makeup—if only she did not open her mouth, and if only her personality were not more macho than a burly man's...
Sendou did not know that Ozawa's personality had actually changed quite a bit.
It was just that when she talked to Sendou, he could not sense any change. Every word from her was barbed...
"Still, thanks to you, I remembered a little of what it felt like to face you!!" Sendou smiled faintly, raised the bat one-handed in his right hand, and got into position.
"Pfft!"
"Whoosh!"
"Crack!!"
"Bang!"
"Whoa!!!"
"The second pitch was a home run!!!"
Once again, this hit drew a wave of shocked cries from the spectators!!
Seeing it, Rei-chan curled her lips into a charming smile.
This time, the promotional effect was simply explosive!!
She knew that Sendou had trained with wooden bats for a while before. After all, the man in charge of the Wildcats was Sendou's number-one fan.
"Pfft!"
"Whoosh!"
"Crack!!"
