Syllable!
With a crisp sound.
Kominato Haruichi, who was the first to play, played a beautiful midfield hit.
It attracted the admiration of the surrounding audience.
Immediately, Kominato Haruichi put on a stiff victory posture with a blushing face.
The other side.
Sawamura was reminded by Chris.
Head to the bullpen to adjust your new pitching position.
...
But.
Although adjusted.
But after all, time is short.
When I play again, I still can't use the correct posture for every ball.
Nevertheless.
Sawamura's special straight ball will not deviate too far.
And this kind of straight ball that will suddenly turn.
It also gives the batters of the Heishikan a headache, and every now and then a high-flying ball comes out.
It is worth mentioning.
There was a high flying ball that flew behind the referee.
Follow the rules.
The batter's high-flying ball, as long as the defender can catch it in the air, the batter will be eliminated.
Chris in order to complete the kill.
Knowing that there is a hard wall ahead.
But he still jumped up and forced the ball to catch.
And Chris also hit the wall because of this jump.
"Isn't he hurt? Why fight like that? Aren't you afraid of a recurrence of your injuries? "
Outside the field, Haruna Yoshikawa wrinkled his small face with a pained face.
Asad replied with a smile: "In order to fight for one more out, I will not hesitate to do my best, even if I will pay the price of injury." "
"He's the same as Sawamura! All pure athletes! "
Takako Fujiwara: "Why didn't you mention yourself?" Aren't you pure? "
Asad nodded: "Yes, if the price is injury, I will most likely give up this behavior." "
"Maybe you think it's wrong to give up on the save."
"But..."
"At professional baseball."
"Generally, people who do this, although they will be praised at the time, but once something happens, they can only retire silently!"
"After a while, no one will mention this again!"
"Anyway!"
"I don't want to be a firework for a moment!"
"Huh"'.
Takako Fujiwara and three other female managers.
Although I wanted to refute it, I felt that what Asad said made sense.
The mood became extremely mixed.
...
Meanwhile.
When ~
A soft sound.
The ball landed lightly on the ground and bounced slowly toward first base.
"!!"
"!!!"
"What..."
" Sawamura hit successfully? "
"And ... And his touch cleverly defused the ball power! "
"I didn't expect Sawamura's touch to be so powerful!"
"Good order!"
"Nice touch! Although I think eighty percent is just a fluke..."
With Sawamura's hit, Chris, who stayed at first base, was sent to second base.
The praise from teammates and seniors continued to sound.
But.
Since Sawamura is using touch for the first time in an official match.
So everyone thinks that Sawamura's touch is just luck.
However!
What they don't know is!
Sawamura's Bunt ability is stronger than everyone!
Seido Rest Area.
"So far."
"The batting average in practice matches is a staggering 53%."
"How will he deal with it?"
Minister Ota rubbed his chin and looked at Kominato Haruichi, who was striking at the seat, and said.
"Just look at the results of the practice matches."
"He is good enough to be promoted to the First team."
"If you can still seize the scoring opportunity in this blow..."
Vice Minister Takashima pushed her glasses and muttered with sharp eyes.
...
On the field.
Kominato Haruichi saw the opponent arrange the outfielder closer to the infielder.
Suddenly a little unhappy.
"Do they think I can't play from a long distance?"
"In that case..."
"Then let you see my long-hitting ability!"
When the voice fell.
Kominato Haruichi met the first shot of the opposing pitcher and swung a wooden stick.
Snap.
The baseball was blasted straight into the outfield.
It's a pity.
The landing point belongs outside the boundary.
But this goal scared the outfielders who leaned forward.
So that the three people defending the outfield couldn't help but retreat.
"Al?"
"Is it biased?"
Kominato Haruichi deliberately made a sound, and at the same time adjusted the gesture of holding the stick.
Sure enough.
The opponent's catcher was fooled.
Then the code word for throwing an outside corner was given.
And the outside corner....
It just happens to be Kominato Haruichi's good ball path!
Syllable!
Kominato Haruichi hit the opponent's pitcher's slip with precision!
The next moment.
Haruichi Kominato chuckled and threw off the bat, calmly running to first base.
And Chris, who stayed at second base.
He quickly ran past third base and went straight to home plate.
Shout!
The outfielder, who did not follow the catcher's orders and retreated without permission, finally picked up the ball and passed it to home plate.
But the timing of the pass is too late!
Wait until the catcher catches the ball....
Chris would have already returned to home plate!
"What a horrible fellow!"
Chris stood up and looked towards Kominato Haruichi, his eyes showing a bit of relief from the seniors looking at the juniors.
"The control of baseball is free, this is a complete genius!"
"His baseball talent may surpass that of his brother!"
...
Somewhere off-site.
Asad saw Chris go back to the rest area.
Thought about it.
Or walk towards the cowshed.
Takako Fujiwara subconsciously asked, "Where are you going?" "
Asad: "Cowshed, but come back soon." "
...
Cowshed.
When Asad came here.
Just heard Chris's father say to Chris, 'As long as you have no regrets', with the word 'come on'.
It's just that these two words are not easy to pronounce.
Because Chris had an old injury.
Just hit a wall to catch the ball.
Later, there will be another high-intensity competition.
For Chris's father.
Watching your son participate in this kind of competition that will make the injury recur is as painful as cutting flesh with a knife.
But....
My son's wish is to compete....
What can you do as a father? I can only grit my teeth to support ah!
"Senior Chris."
Seeing that Chris and his son finished talking, Asad spoke.
"Huh?"
Chris turned to look at the monster newcomer with a little doubt in his eyes.
"The fortune of the Heishikan went straight, I just saw him conspiring with his teammates about something."
"I guess he must have told his teammates about your injury."
"Of course, this is just speculation."
"But..."
Asad paused and continued: "In the next game, the batters of the Heishikan will be on base..."
"If you frequently use the method of stealing bases, you are tempted to keep throwing a first base to eliminate that batter."
"So!"
"It means that the matter of your injury was indeed known by the other party!"
"Everything that needs to be said has been said."
"What to do after that is up to you."
Say it.
Asad left the cowshed under Chris's surprised gaze.
While watching anime.
Asad likes the role of Chris very much.
So.
He planned to go straight to Chris's injury and tell Chris about it.
Of course.
If you don't believe it, Asad can't help it.
Anyway.
Everything that needs to be done has been done.
As for the result, Asad didn't care.
Of course.
If Chris had listened to this, it would have been better.
After all.
If the injury does not worsen.
The time for a complete recovery will also be advanced.
And the existence of Chris will further improve the strength of seido.
The probability of dominating the country!
It will definitely improve a lot!
...
At the cowshed.
"He is?"
Chris's father asked.
"The monster freshman I mentioned to you before."
Chris chuckled back.
"What!"
"He's the freshman!?"
Chris's father was flabbergasted.
Before seeing Asad.
He had always thought that Asad was a fairly strong person.
I didn't expect it....
Real people turned out to be so thin and weak....
If he hadn't known what Chris himself said, Chris's father would have absolutely found it hard to believe it!
"Okay, Dad, I'm going to practice, let's talk after the game."
Chris waved his hand and didn't talk to his father again.
But.
Asad's words.
Instead, he listened.
Heishikan..."
"The same personality as before..."
"In order to win, do not hesitate to take advantage of all the weaknesses of the opponent ..."
Middle school.
Chris stayed at the same school as Choi .
Moreover.
The ace catcher at that school was Chris, and the ace pitcher was Choi.
So.
The two are naturally very familiar.
And therefore therefore.
Chris knows the character of the straight man very well.
With the style of acting in front of the material, he will definitely do what Asad said.
"But..."
"Since I know about this..."
"Then your strategy won't work!"
A sharp glint flashed in Chris's eyes.
As for whether it was possible that Asad was lying to him?
Chris felt.
There is no need to lie to him.
Because no matter whether he succeeded in cheating or not, it would not be good for Asad.
In the same team.
And Chris is still a catcher.
Naturally, he also paid attention to Asad, a monster pitcher.
So.
I still know quite well about Asad.
Chris thinks.
Asad, who has a very mature style.
Will not do such a meaningless thing.
