Although it is only about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the sun has already set a little above the horizon because it is getting dark very quickly on the mountain, and it is about to set. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

On Inuya Mountain, Totsuki Ward, the bus at the entrance of the hostel has already stopped at the gate and is waiting for the visiting students of Shirasugi High School to get on the bus.

Unlike when he came, there were few of the first-year team members of Baishan High School in the car at this time whose faces were not dark.

originally thought that there could be an abusive game, but it turned out that he was abused by others......

Especially when he was angry just now when he asked Kasuga, the relay pitcher on the side of Aoba Dodai, to know his name and origin, Kasuga's answer and the answers given by the people around him made Inuya feel like a fool.

Although the game ended in a draw, he was suppressed by a beginner who had just learned to play baseball for half a month and failed to score several games in a row, which in the eyes of all the students of Baishan High School, it was already a loss, and it was a miserable loss!

All the first-year freshmen of Shirasugi High School heard that Kasuga Cloud actually learned baseball after entering Aoba Dodai High School, and it was only half a month since now, and such a baseball rookie actually used pitching to suppress his side in the middle of the game until the end of the game......

In such a situation, no one can stand to go directly into the state of magic barrier, and constantly recall in his heart every action and every pitch he showed after the spring clouds came on the court today: damn it...... What the hell is going on with this kid's ball!?

In front of the car, Takahashi, the coach of Shirasugi High School, politely bent down and thanked him: "Thank you very much for your hospitality today~"

"Each other, each other~~ Our students have also received a lot of care from you today!" Kawano, the coach on the Aoba Dotai side, also thanked him politely.

"Then, we'll bother you again tomorrow, and please be merciful to your senior students!" Takahashi, the coach of Shirasugi High School, said a few words of greeting at this time for tomorrow's game.

In this regard, Aoba's coach Kawano also responded very skillfully and vaguely: "There, there, your Shirasugi High School is a well-known strong line team, and we are looking forward to seeing your outstanding performance tomorrow!" “

After that, Takahashi, the coach of Shirasugi High School, did everything he could, and he didn't have any interest in staying, so he just said goodbye and got on the bus, instructing the bus to leave.

On the way down the mountain, Takahashi spoke from his seat and asked the two of his catcher partners, who were sitting on his left hand side, about their feelings about today's practice match: "Hey~~ You two, how do you feel today!?" Aoba's strength ......"

Hearing this, Inuya's face sank again, and he turned his head silently with a dark face, while his catcher partner Kazuo Inoue thought for a moment and replied to the coach's words: "Well...... Overall, today's game was still under our control in the first half of the game, there was no problem with Inuya-kun's pitching, and there was no problem with our playing line to prepare for the attack in the middle of the game, if it was according to the lineup of the former Aoba High School in the relay, I think we would definitely win this game!

However, the problem was with the relay pitcher on the other side......"

Having said this, Kazuo Inoue paused and still asked his suspicions in disbelief: "Coach, that relay of theirs...... Is it really just a first-year freshman!? Really, is it just a novice who has just played baseball for half a month!? ”

Takahashi sat on the seat and looked at the student in front of him, and saw the heavy disbelief and a trace of luck in his eyes, although he couldn't bear to tell the truth at this time to hit his confidence, but instead of self-comforting escapism, it was better to accept the pain of failure for a while, so Takahashi immediately said out loud: "That's right, Aoba Dodai High School, a first-year class A student, Kasuga Cloud, transferred to Aoba High School more than half a month ago, and then joined their baseball club before he began to contact the sport of baseball. He hadn't played baseball since he was in junior high school and elementary school! “

"That'...... Why, why is this kid's ball so powerful, none of our hitters on the line can catch his ball to hit, could it be that he is a baseball genius!? Speaking of this, Inoue seemed a little excited, and he couldn't figure out what was going on today's game.

In fact, it was not only him, but all the first-year freshmen in the car at this time, each of them had the same look of disbelief and doubt on their faces as Inoue...... They really hit today!

At this time, coach Takahashi enlightened everyone to stand up and said loudly: "Okay, everyone raise your heads and listen to me, we lost today's game, lost to a kid who just learned to play baseball for less than 1 month, this is our shame!" Seniors Iwai, Otani, and Hayashihara-kun, listen up, I want you to win back tomorrow's game against Aoba Dodai High School in the name of building a strong baseball school in Shirasugi High School, understand!? “

At this time, when their names were called, several senior students of Baishan High School who accompanied the first-year freshmen to do tactical sparring stood up one after another, nodded and agreed loudly: "Department!" ~ Our first army will urgently hold a pre-game meeting tonight to study tactics, and tomorrow will definitely be a shame for our first-year freshmen! “

After Takahashi saw the old students of the first army express their attitudes, some first-year freshmen finally picked up a little confidence, so he continued to analyze: "As for the first-year freshmen today's game, we lost, and I also have a responsibility for this, I review it and say to everyone here, I'm really sorry......" At this time, Takahashi took the initiative to stand up and take the responsibility for the failure, and bent down to apologize to all the students.

After finishing, Takahashi stood up straight and continued: "Besides, because our pre-game intelligence collection was not the best, so after the students of the logistics team go back tonight, they will punish each of you for running 15 laps of the playground, and then go to eat after running, do you understand!?" “

"Yes! ~" Several students in the logistics group were infected by the coach's courageous attitude of admitting their mistakes at this time, and they would also stand up with their heads held high and admit their mistakes loudly.

After dealing with the logistics team, Takahashi finally said his self-analysis of the most important part of today's game, about Aoba High School relay pitcher Kasuga Cloud: "Also, about that relay pitcher, I don't think you need to pay too much attention to it. That's right, today we lost, and we lost completely, but today we lost not because of that kid's skills, but because we didn't know anything about his information.

If we had known earlier that there was such a number one person in Aoba High School, then our game today would not have been so passive, so in the future, the students in charge of the intelligence collection of opponents in the logistics team would have to do this work more seriously and carefully!

And for Aoba, the relay, everyone must be constantly thinking about why his ball path is so difficult to catch, and he can't find the best hitting point at all, right!? “

"Yes! ~"Although I don't want to admit this, this is indeed the biggest reason why they lost today, so all the first-year freshmen on the bus nodded in agreement with the coach's words at this time.

Takahashi gave the answer: "Since the end of the game, I have been thinking about this question just now, although I may not guess accurately, but I have a 50% chance to suspect that you can't hit the ball not because of the relay boy's good ball skills, but on the contrary, his pitching skills are too bad, and he has made perfect ball control at all!" “

"Nani!? ~~“

Everyone on the bus at Shirasugi High School, except for the coach and driver, was shocked by the answer given by coach Takahashi.

At this time, the most excited dog tooth who heard this answer immediately asked: "Coach, what do you mean by this!?" Why is that kid's possession not perfect, we still lose! “

The others echoed the dogtooth and asked, "yes, what the hell is going on, Coach!" “

Takahashi replied: "Everyone knows, that kid is just a rookie who has just learned baseball for half a month, and even the genius will not be able to learn how to learn unfathomable skills!" So, my guess is that because this kid is a pitcher on the hill at all, he may not even be able to fully grasp the basic hand shape of pitching, so that every time this kid throws the ball, there will be a variety of different changes, even if he obviously only throws a speedball, but in our opinion, the ball path seen by standing on the hitting zone is like a pitcher who has mastered the super high change ball path is throwing the ball at us. So that every one of us hitters can't catch this kid in the strike zone at all, the next ball will be thrown in that direction, everyone should have a good understanding of this, right!? “

"~~~" The crowd fell silent.

After a while, Inuya, who is the pitcher's best knowledge of pitching skills, was the first to come back to his senses and react: "I see, no wonder the balls I saw twice when I stood on the strike zone were obviously pitching speedballs, but in the end, they always changed direction and turned before they came to home plate...... Is it because this kid's grabber type hasn't been completely decided yet!? “

Thinking of this, Dogtooth's angry punch slammed directly into the front seat: "Damn bastard, it's such a kid who ruined my good thing!! ~~Bang Noya Luo (the meaning of the bastard)~~"

Inuya thought of the guy who finally stepped out of Kasuga, the one who had turned today's long-awaited revenge match into a terrible drama, and wanted to rush in front of him immediately and press him to the ground, and then beat him up to vent his anger.

"Spring clouds...... I remember you! ~“

………………

On the other side, in the inn on Inuya Mountain, everyone in the Aoba High School baseball club was eating in the cafeteria at this time.

Watanabe, a friend who accidentally sprained his hand, also returned from Yamashita for treatment, and was listening to Hachiko Hasegawa's exaggeration of the rice to describe Watanabe's game after he left today.

What single-handedly saved the wild, what superman turned into an invincible universe, what bumpy man beat the long-haired monster (referring to the dogtooth, who called you long hair) to the ground, a mess...... It's just an exaggerated speech, anyway!

But don't say it, it seems that everyone is very interested in Hasegawa's exaggerated narration, and from time to time in response to Hasegawa's interaction, he laughs out loud and twice.

After dinner, Kasuga, who was still thinking of going to take a bath as soon as possible, was stopped by Nakamura, the senior of the First Army.

Nakamura came over with the coach's orders, he didn't say much, and Koji Nakamura is not the kind of boy who can talk and communicate at all, so as soon as he came up, he bluntly analyzed with Kasugamo his performance when he played on the field today, and the words that the coach explained to him tomorrow to let him train with Kasuga, all of them poured out to Kasuga-yun and said: "Kasuga-kun, your performance today is very good, the coach and I are surprised by your performance!" However, although you managed to suppress your opponent's entire line today, it is not because your skills are so good, it is just that your opponent is not familiar with you!

You know, with your immature grip on the ball, if you meet us who are familiar with your ball, what will happen to you!?

Here's a reminder for you!

And also...... Soon, the city's regional auditions for the spring Koshien Championship (short for the National High School Baseball Spring Koshien Championship) will begin. You and Watanabe-kun are one of the few outstanding pitchers on our two freshman teams in the baseball club, so in order to better prepare for the game, the training of the two of you will be led by me and my catcher partner from tomorrow. “

After saying this, Koji Nakamura turned his head and left directly, without giving Kasugayun any room to reply, it was simply so cold that Kasugayun couldn't cry and laugh for a while: "~~~ I'll go, what the hell is this!" ~“
