"Snap!"
"Strike!"
"Batter out!!"
"Game over!!"
"Yeah!!" With Amakusa Hikaru's roar, the game ended in the top of the Ninth Inning, with Ichidai San High holding a two-run lead.
"Boom!" Furuya's gas tank had been lit again.
Sawamura gritted his teeth as he stared at Amakusa.
"That was incredible!
That Slider!!" Miyuki exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.
The moment he finished speaking, Sawamura's mouth fell slightly open, and Furuya's gaze drifted over as well.
Both of them stared at Miyuki with utterly incredulous expressions.
Their looks carried the same displeasure as a wife hearing her husband praise another woman.
As if they were saying, "I'm still right here!"
Of course, that was only what Sendou had imagined from their expressions.
Still, those two were definitely shocked.
Besides... pitchers and catchers were often described as a "married couple."
"W-what are you saying before the battle? That's weakening our momentum!!" Sawamura demanded loudly.
"I don't want to hear it!" Furuya added.
Furuya's quiet voice once again made Sendou picture a wife voicing her dissatisfaction with her husband.
All that could be said was that Sendou had an active imagination, enough to concoct an entire palace-drama jealousy scene...
"No!
Seriously, that had already gone beyond the high school level!" Miyuki stressed quietly.
"Sendou, what kind of look is that?" Miyuki saw Sendou staring at him in a way that made his skin crawl and could not help speaking up.
"No! It's nothing!" Sendou smiled faintly.
He could not exactly say that he had imagined a massive jealousy scene involving the three of them, could he?
"Come to think of it, you're the only one who'd think about figuring out how to beat that Slider!
As expected of a super high school-level batter!" Seeing Sendou reminded Miyuki of what he had said
