Katase Nishibinkai Beach is a seaside scenic spot located across the Shonan Marine Park in Kamakura City, Shonan Ward. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

With its blue skies and clean and clear waters, it is a favorite place for people who love the sea in the prefecture in the hot summer.

A total of 45 students from the 1st and 2nd Army of the Aoba Dodai High School Baseball Club, including coach Kawano, team doctor Mina Narita, team leader Kazuo Tachikura, and all 11 students of the entire logistics team, checked into a medium-sized hotel next to the beach the day before yesterday and began a one-week training session with the baseball club.

Normally, it's rare for students to have such a long vacation during the semester when they start school.

However, there are exceptions to this rule from the end of April to the beginning of May, as April 29 is Showa Day (the birthday of Emperor Showa), May 3 is **********, May 4 is Green Day (i.e., National Holiday), and May 5 is Children's Day (which is also the official day of the Dragon Boat Festival).

Therefore, when several festivals are connected, there are generally some students in Japanese high schools who take a long vacation for special reasons.

For example, the main lineup of the baseball club of Aoba Dodai High School is like this!

After applying to the school by coach Kawano, they were given a week-long holiday from the end of April 29th to May 5th to go to the Katase Nishibinkai Beach in Shonan for an important summer camping camp for the baseball club before the Summer Liga League!

In the three days that he came here, coach Kawano has been pressing all the main players of the baseball club and has not picked up a baseball for training, but has pulled the team to the beach to practice physical fitness for three days.

Today is the fourth day, and in the morning, coach Kawano still did not instruct the main students to pick up the ball equipment for training, and continued to let everyone run back and forth on the beach by stepping on the calf-high sea water to train their physical fitness.

This made a group of main students almost depressed and half dead without being trained.

The first thing in the team who couldn't help it was Akai, an anxious guy, who complained to Kobayashi beside him while running: "Hela, Kobayashi-kun, I said that this daily physical fitness, we are all about to be tired of training, what do you think!?" ”

"Huh~~Huh~~Huh~~" Xiao Lin, who was panting while running, returned a little out of breath: "I think, Huh~~ The coach is definitely doing this, there is his intention, whew!" ~~ Stop talking and concentrate on running! ~”

"I'm slam~~" Akai was extremely depressed, but when he thought that in addition to running, other training was nothing more than physical training such as sit-ups and trolleys, and he didn't even have the opportunity to touch the bat.

So if he doesn't practice this, maybe he'll be even worse and depressed!

So although Akai had a depressed look on his face, he didn't stop a step and continued to follow the team to run and practice physical fitness on the beach.

After about half an hour, the team leader who was supervising next to him blew the whistle and stopped everyone shouting: "Yo Xi, very good, everyone has completed the physical training assigned by our coaching staff very well, it is really hard for everyone." Now take a 1-hour break, get ready to eat, and gather at the baseball stadium in the seaside park in the afternoon to start the next special training, come on, boys! ”

As soon as they heard the words of the team leader, everyone who had not touched the ball for several days shouted happily: "Wow...... It's finally over the boring workouts!! ~”

"Oh, it's not easy! ~”

"Haha...... I was finally able to touch the ball, and I miss the smell of gloves in my hands! ~”

"I'm, Muki, you BT, that's the sour smell of your gloves that are stained with sweaty hands and never washed before...... Stinks, bastard! ~”

"You know what, Hoshino, this is a manly taste! ~~ What a nice smell...... It's very refreshing to smell it, and if you suck it, you will get fine! "Makiki made an obscene man's H movement.

I saw that a large class of students around him had a disdainful look at it: BT!

……………………

In the afternoon, the drowsy sun basks the earth.

After resting for a while, all the main students of the Aoba Dodai High School baseball club gathered at a seaside park baseball stadium about 500 meters from the sea.

At this time, coach Kawano, team doctor Narita, team leader Likura, and a group of students from the logistics team have been waiting on the field for a long time.

After everyone was assembled, coach Kawano took a step forward and said, "Yo Xi, you have all completed all the physical fitness courses of this camping training very well this morning, so you can enjoy all the equipment on my left and right in the afternoon, and play to your heart's content!" ”

"Yo Xi, that's amazing! ~”

"Haha...... That's how it should be, I've been putting up with it for days! ~”

"What a nostalgic taste! ~~”

"Coach wise! ~”

"Bang bang! ~~”

At this time, coach Kawano suppressed everyone's high emotions with his hand and said, "But...... But I would like to make a request here, and that is that since the afternoon training is a special training, the training content will be different for each of you. Listen, if anyone doesn't finish the afternoon session, then be punished for running 10 rounds to the seaside park! If you can't finish your run, you can't go to dinner, do you understand!? ”

"Hail!! ~~" Everyone replied in unison.

Hearing everyone's emotional answers, coach Kawano was very relieved and turned his head to the students in the logistics group to signal that they could start preparing, and immediately shouted with a big wave of his hand: "Yo Xi, then let's start training!" ”

"Hay! ~~" The main students of the baseball club shouted again and bowed to the coach and the students of the logistics team, "Please give me a lot of advice!" ~~”

Afterwards, everyone found their own mothers to find their own areas on the court and began to train in the afternoon.

Kasuga, on his side, followed Hayakawa, the team's ace, and alternated with several other groups of shooting partners such as Watanabe and Tsuchihara on the home plate and pitcher's mound in the center of the field.

At first, it was Hayakawa and captain Yasano's shooting training, but this time because it was preparing for the Summer Liga League, Hayakawa was very excited to ask him to practice his famous stunt - a slider with a large arc.

As a backup, Kasugayun and Watanabe stood behind the pitcher's mound, watching Hayakawa throw the baseball out of his hands again and again on the mound, analyzing the trajectory of Hayakawa's each ball after the ball.

After watching no less than ten balls, coach Kawano arranged for Watanabe and Kasuga to come on the court with bats to try Hayakawa's pitching.

"Whew! ~”

"Pong! ~~”

"Whew! ~”

"Pong! ~~”

"Whew! ~”

"Pong! ~~”

"Ahhh~~ This change is really choking! ~~ If the ball runs to the outside corner, the hitter will not be able to grasp the timing of the blow and swing effectively! Watanabe exclaimed after three consecutive swings.

And Kasugamo also felt the same way after the experience: "At first, I thought it was a straight ball speedball road, but the ball would turn before entering the base, which is really difficult to prevent!" ~”

At this time, Watanabe nodded and said, "Hayakawa-senpai's arsenal has a 144-kilometer speed ball with good ball control, as well as a good curveball and slow ball, and now he has his famous skill - a slider with a lot of curves.

I think that with the suppression of the speed change in the summer league, and the use of this slide ball with a large curve as the decisive goal, it should be enough for most team players in the league to be uncomfortable! ”

"Yes! ~That's what I said, I also think it's so hard to fight! ”

Next, it was Watanabe's turn to practice pitching.

After half a year of strong training after entering the first army, this guy has already had excellent ball control, and now he has improved to a higher level.

No matter what kind of ball match Anno gave Watanabe, no matter how tricky Yasano's gloves were, Watanabe could always easily find a position to throw the ball at the point that Anno had in mind.

However, Kasugamo was a little unhappy to see from the side, Watanabe, this guy actually lowered the ball speed a lot, and the visual speed felt like it was only about 130 kilometers!

So this spring cloud is a little disapproving: the car, such a low speed, there is a ghost to cast! ~~ If you run into a strong fight, it's going to be bad! ~

Kasuga's expression was seen by Hayakawa, who was standing next to him, and he smiled at Kasugamo and said, "Hela, isn't it enjoyable to watch!?" ”

"Huh!?"

"I felt that the speed was slow, and I was a little worried that the ball would be hit easily, so I thought Watanabe's ball was ordinary, right!?"

Hayakawa's words made Kasugayun immediately nervous, and shook his head again and again: "No, no, no, what about this!" ~ Watanabe-kun's ball control is so good, I'm envious! ~”

"Humph! ~ What a lie! ~" Hayakawa picked up a bat from the side and handed it to Kasuga Cloud: "Hela, take it, go over and try to hit Watanabe's ball once as a hitter!" ~”

Then Hayakawa shouted to Watanabe and Yasano: "Hela, you two wait, I'll let Kasuga-kun do the training for you!" ”

"Yo Xi, come on, Kasuga-kun, how about we fight it out!?"

"Come on, I'm afraid of you! ~"For the invitation of his friend Watanabe, Kasuga Yun naturally agreed very cheerfully.

But at this time, Hayakawa said to Watanabe: "Watanabe-kun, show your ability to control the ball, let this bastard boy of Kasuga wake up, don't think that if you are a ball, you have to pursue high ball speed to achieve the king's way!" ”

"Yo Xi, I see!"

Soon, Kasugamo stood in the right strike zone, put on his helmet and handguards and other protective gear, and put on a comprehensive strike posture and waited for Watanabe to show him the power of the slow ball.

However, the first ball, Kasuga, was not waiting for a slow yo-yo ball like Watanabe's throw just now, but a speedball with a speed of up to 136 km/h.

"Pong! ~~”

"I'm, Watanabe, you're lying, you're talking about throwing slow balls!"

Watanabe replied, "Che, boy, what do you know, slow balls are the way to use speed balls, understand!?" And then ha, this ball is for you to remember! ”

"I'll wait for you, boy!" Kasuga Yunma Daha is ready to arrive after waving his bat twice.

At this time, Watanabe received the second ball from Anno and began to pitch the ball.

"Whew~~"

A delay in the arm throwing action, I saw that after the ball was shot, Haruhi Yun's first reaction was that the ball speed was quite fast, so he began to stand on tiptoe with a slight adjustment, and began to stretch out gravity and take a step to swing the bat.

However, halfway through the swing of Kasuga's bat, he found that the baseball did not fly as fast as he expected, but still flew slowly about 2 meters away from the base.

"Whoop! ~”

"Whew~~"

"Pong! ~”

"Good Ball~"

"Cast beautifully, Watanabe-kun!"

At this time, Kasugamo looked at Watanabe with some incredulity: "I'll go, what the hell was that just now!" The ball was very fast when I shot, so why didn't I go to the base at that speed!? ”

"Haha...... See, stupid boy! This is the slow-changing ball that you Watanabe Okami am good at, so I'm hit! ~~Wahaha~~~" Watanabe saw that Kasuga's cloud swing failed, and he stood very happily on the pitcher's mound and laughed wildly.

"~~~" (To be continued.) )
