บท 64: Thank you

[Hahahahahahahahaha! You arrogant brat, weren't you all high and mighty saying you didn't need my help? Enjoy this defeat, loser! Hahahahaha!]

"Tch!" – Shun clenched his fists tightly. As annoying as it was to hear the old man mocking him in his head, he had nothing to say.

In that moment, seeing his precious teammates discouraged with their heads down, some even crying, he had nothing to say. In the end, he really was a loser.

"Let's go." – Shun felt a hand on his shoulder as he heard his captain's voice. He looked back and saw Kazuki with a forced smile.

"We have to line up." – Kazuki said calmly. He then gently tapped Ren and Kenta on the shoulder before going to help Jiro up. It was customary for both teams to line up and greet each other after a game, another sign of respect present in Japanese baseball.
