Kei had managed to recover enough after throwing his pitch to be the first to make it to the ball. He used his long limbs to reach down and collect the ball, yet he needed to correct his body posture before sending the throw to first.
The throw was a good one, shuttling its way toward the open glove of the first baseman.
However…
"Safe!"
Tatsuya felt as if all the weight on his shoulders had disappeared now that he arrived on first base. A wild smile appeared on his face as he sent a thumbs up to his brother on the field.
"Uwaaa! That kid is so fast."
"Wow he's handsome too."
Murmurs of appreciation for both the play and Tatsuya's appearance swept through the stadium. No one had expected a bunt from the very first batter of the game, yet it had paid off thanks to his quick speed.
As if this was the moment he'd been waiting for, Tatsuya surveyed the crowd, sending winks and grins to the women he thought were cute.
Looks like we have found a chink in the armor of Shinjuku.
