August 21, early in the morning, six o'clock.

This is just when the light of the morning sun is just shining on the earth.

The most magnificent building in Nishinomiya City, the Hanshin Koshien Stadium, is already haunted, even if it is because of the midsummer and the early morning light, but more because, today, here, there will be this year, the four quarterfinals of the summer competition, and it is also a fierce battle between the eight strongest teams in Japan (at least nominally the strongest eight teams, anyway, it depends on the people to reach the quarterfinals, in essence, only the last first place can be called the strongest, It's hard to say anything else. ）

And the most exciting, exciting battle between Qingdao High School and Xibang High School.

It also happens to be sorted this morning.

It happened to be the first match of the quarterfinals that started at 9 a.m.

That's why it's just the beginning of the morning.

The stadium, the only holy place in the hearts of high school students in the country, is already flickering.

Almost as long as it is in Nishinomiya City, and then today's free baseball lovers, it is categorically not to let go of today's four games, especially the first competition between Seido High School and Saiho High School, and even some of the more crazy baseball fans, it is not a strange thing to skip work directly to watch these games, in the country of Japan, baseball is the general existence of the national ball, up and down the country, maybe you can find out some people who are not familiar with it and don't like baseball, but there are absolutely few people who say that they don't know baseball, This is the atmosphere of baseball in the whole country of Japan.

"Wow!? What are people like today? And are they all here so early? ”

Seven o'clock sharp

Akiko Owada, who had already gotten up early and was in line with the morning shift, had just followed his predecessor Mine Fujio to the vicinity of Koshien Stadium, and looked at the crowd in front of him, and his eyes were already round.

"Of course, this is Koshien, and the next is the quarterfinals with a high gold content, so it's normal for the number of spectators to be there."

Fujio Feng had a very calm expression, as a full-time editor and reporter of baseball for many years, I have not seen any scenes, every year in Koshien, as long as the more you go to the back, the higher the heat, and especially as long as there are those superstar players on the stage, then the attention and popularity are definitely a big cut, especially the collision between famous colleges and universities that have super talented players.

And that's exactly the kind of game that happened today.

The first scene.

Qingdao High School and Saibon High School.

Not only are these two teams famous, but they also happen to have players in the team who are currently on the radar of professional baseball.

Sano Build.

Tetsuya Yuuki.

It is a super hitter that several professional clubs are currently paying attention to.

Shigerino Shin is even more of a second-year ace, and he entered the eyes of these groups in advance this spring, and observing Shigerun's remaining high school career of more than a year is an important basis for these teams to make a final judgment on Shigerno in the coming year.

"Xibang and Qingdao, today's clash between the two teams is estimated to be the most exciting percussion show performance this summer...

When Fujio Feng stepped into the interior of Koshien Stadium through the staff passage, he looked at the wide and lofty stage in front of him, and his pupils flashed with a gleam of essence, and he thought secretly in his heart.

How Xibang resisted the blue road line.

How Qingdao holds Sano and builds.

This is the highlight of today's first quarter-finals.

It is also the scene that audiences across the country are most looking forward to.

In the end, it was the monster fighter Sano Shuzo who broke through the Qingdao defense line.

It was His Royal Highness the Tokyo Tyrant Shigerano Nobu who led the team to suppress the West Bun line.

Eight o'clock sharp!

"Oh oh oh

"Here !! come"

Accompanied by the two teams of players in their respective supervised leadership appeared on both sides of the bench moment.

The high-pitched, fierce shouts erupted from all over the place.

It was also before the start of this game that the whole fierce confrontation atmosphere was brought to a climax!!

"Qingdao, Qingdao, Qingdao"

"Sibang, Sibang, Sibang."

"Inspector Kataoka, I'm going to win today."

"Your Highness the Tyrant, let those guys in Aichi Prefecture know how powerful you are today."

"Overseer of the West Temple, I'll ask you today."

"Build! Let's have a few more big ones! Let the young masters of Tokyo know the horrors of Aichi Prefecture. ”

"Shigerun-kun! Yuuki-kun, Izaki! ”

"Sano! Yanaka! Please. ”

"Come on, Qingdao."

"Come on, Sibon."

The two teams of supporters who were unwilling to accept defeat in the momentum, and the huge cheering sound also exploded over the entire Koshien Stadium at this moment.

On the first base side, Qingdao High School, attack first.

Third base side, Sybon High School, back offense.

And that synchronization is also the starting lineup of the two teams on the wide electronic scoreboard behind the middle fielders, and it also directly raises the emotions of these spectators in the stadium to the extreme.

Fifth batter, pitcher, Shigerun.

This is the word that appears on the starting lineup list on the right.

It is to announce that Seido High School will do its best in this game to deal with the strong man from Aichi Prefecture - Saibun High School.

And these spectators, who have not been able to see His Highness the Tyrant appear first for a long time, are not stingy with their cheers and shouts!!

The spotlight flickering above the supreme stage.

It was also at this moment, each gathered on the absolute core players of the two teams.

Xibang Four Sticks, Monster Fighter - Sano Shuzo!

Qingdao ace, His Royal Highness the Tyrant - Shigerno Shin!

"Hehe, did you still let this tyrant make the first move? I really know how to look at the atmosphere, Qingdao High School! Shigerino Shin! Let me enjoy your pitching today!! ”

Shuzo Sano, who was standing in front of the bench seat, looked in the direction of the bench seat at Seido High School, and said in a low voice with a hideous smile on his face.

And Shigerino Shin, who was also standing in front of the bench, seemed to be able to sense the provocative gaze of the Xibang four-batter, and a light golden halo appeared in Shigero's pupils, and his arms flicked gently.

"Don't worry, Sano-senpai, today, this ace has prepared a feast for you, I hope you can see the end, this is a performance that this ace specially shows for you."

With a slightly raised chin, a faint cold light flashed in Shigero's pupils, and an extremely strong evil aura seemed to be exuding from his body.

"Sa, let the audience wait for a long time, the 89th Summer National High School Contest, the quarterfinals, the first game, the match between Qingdao High School and Xibang High School is about to begin, as you can see, in this focus matchup that can be called the battle of Tianwang Mountain, both teams are sent to their absolute main players, the first base side, Qingdao High School, the third base side, Xibang High School, today's battle of the century! Is it the monster beater Sano-kun who led the Xibang line to defeat the king Qingdao in one fell swoop!? Or is it that His Royal Highness the tyrant Shigeruno-kun led Seido High School to defeat the overlord of Aichi Prefecture and advance to the semi-finals!? ”

"At this moment!"

"!! to war"

"Oh !!oh oh
