Bab 209: Opening Ceremony (1)

Some time later, the team returned to the front of the stadium, now dressed in their white jerseys. The excitement was palpable as the opening ceremony grew near.

"Yokohama High School?"

A woman dressed in a blue dress with a white undershirt approached them. She was wearing a white brimmed hat and had a red flower pinned to her dress.

"Yes that's us." The coach replied.

"Please follow me, the ceremony will be beginning soon." 

Most of the team recognized the outfit of the woman since they'd watched Nationals on television before. Each of the participating teams would have someone dressed like this at the front of their squad holding up a sign with the schools name inscribed on it.

"Okay you lot, let's go."

Seiji felt his body tingle as everything began to feel real. He'd been on the sideline for plenty of professional games, yet nothing could compare to this moment.
