บท 62: Shoto VS Hokuto (8)

"Isamu, come here!" - Sugawara called to the boy who was about to leave the dugout and head to the batter's box.

Isamu quickly went to Sugawara and listened carefully to his captain's plan. He nodded a bit hesitantly and climbed the dugout steps toward the field.

"So, the plan now is to destroy their pitcher?" - Kohei asked as he also climbed the dugout steps to wait for his turn in the on-deck circle. For some reason, his friend hadn't shared the plan with everyone this time.

"Hehe, nah! We're going to destroy that catcher first!" - Sugawara said with a smile, his eyes focused on Kazuki crouching behind home plate.

"Oh, I get it! No special orders for me?" - Kohei asked with a playful smile, as if he were telling a joke.

"Hmph! Since when do you ever listen to my orders?" - Sugawara huffed in irritation. Kohei was the only person on the team who ignored his orders when batting, but since Kohei always hit well, he couldn't say much.
