After the day's games ended, Sendou and Sawamura went to the restroom, then the two of them left the field to join the others.
"Uh!"
"What's wrong?" Sendou asked when he saw Sawamura suddenly get cat eyes.
"No!
It's nothing!" Sawamura hurriedly shook his head.
Sendou looked toward the bus in confusion, then spotted Okumura looking this way through the window.
Several people were looking over through the windows, but it was obvious that Sawamura had reacted that way because he saw Okumura.
Their eyes had probably met just now...
Sendou suddenly found it amusing. He hadn't expected Sawamura to act like a startled cat just from making eye contact with an underclassman.
"Does this count as being tamed?" Sendou murmured.
"What are you muttering about?" Sawamura asked, having failed to catch it.
"No! Nothing!
Hurry up! We're going back!"
"Yeah!!"
The two of them then headed toward the bus...
On the way back, Sendou kept his eyes closed in thought. He had really seen someone incredible today.
The pitching in the final few innings had shocked him quite a bit.
That winning ball had actually made batters swing and miss as if it were a fastball, much like Hongo Masamune's Fast Forkball.
But Amakusa's Slider had far greater break and depth than a Fast Forkball could compare to.
The only fortunate thing was that Nioh did not have any powerful hitters, which put Sendou somewhat at ease.
If a breaking pitch with that much movement could still fool a strong hitter into failing to recognize it as a Changeup, Sendou would have to call the police!!
Still, even if it was not that absurd, Sendou reassessed his attitude toward Amakusa.
He felt that saying he would specifically target that Slider had been a little arrogant!
He had to confirm
