However, instead of looking scared, both Shiro and Kenji laughed. It started out with some chuckles, but then it broke out into full side-aching laughter.
The umpire didn't know what to do in this situation, but he eventually reminded the players that it was time to play ball once again. The two quickly apologized and got back into position.
Ken saw the smiling face of Shiro as he walked back and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Despite everything that happened and the threat of never playing organized baseball in Japan again, he was in good spirits.
"That was quite an expression your Coach had." Ken commented.
"Haha, yeah wasn't it fantastic?" Shiro replied.
"But aren't you worried about what he said at the end?" Ken couldn't help but ask. Inwardly he felt guilty, sure he might unlock the two teens potential, but what good would that be if they weren't ever able to play baseball in Japan?
