"What's wrong?
You've been looking at your phone since early this morning!" Miyuki looked at Sendou, who was eating while staring at his phone.
"Today..." Sendou began.
"What about today?" Miyuki asked curiously.
"I'm not going to watch the game today!"
"Huh?
What happened to make you suddenly change your mind?

"So he really is my kind after all!" Sendou said with a smile, while Miyuki mentally cursed him out.
"So since he's not pitching today, you don't want to go?" Miyuki asked.
"Of course!
Why would I watch a game full of muscleheads without a strong pitcher?
I'd rather stay in the dorm, read manga, play games, and sleep in!
I could also go watch them practice!" Sendou nodded.
"Your 'watching'...
Means you're only bringing your mouth along, right?" Miyuki complained speechlessly.
"Come to think of it, didn't Naru say he'd pitch at the end?" Miyuki suddenly recalled Sendou saying there were no strong pitchers and continued asking.
"Isn't
