Time goes by the day before the evening hour.

End the day of training.

Inspector Kataoka, who returned to the office, had to fulfill his duties as a Japanese language teacher, and was correcting his homework.

"Knock knock."

There was a knock at the door.

"Please come in."

Superintendent Kataoka said in a light tone.

"Squeak"

Bang.

Push open the door.

A slender figure paced in, a resolute countenance.

It was the last four baseball captains of the Seido High School baseball club - Tetsuya Yuuki.

And at the moment of seeing Tetsuya Yuuki.

Superintendent Kataoka was also slightly stunned, originally he thought it was Ochiai, Takashima, and Ota who came to look for him, but he didn't expect it to be Yuki.

"Oversight."

The philosopher team who walked in first bowed slightly to the superintendent Kataoka in front of him, and greeted softly with a respectful look.

"It's so late, and I haven't gone back yet, what's the matter? Yuuki? ”

Superintendent Kataoka looked at his beloved disciple in front of him, put down the pen in his hand, and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, Superintendent, it's about our third-year retirement tournament that we're going to run, and there's something I'd like to ask for your opinion on."

The Zhe team straightened up, put his hands behind his back, and said with a very serious expression on his face.

Retirement.

This is almost the practice of Qingdao High School every year, and every retirement match is set at the end of the autumn competition, because only that time is the most relaxed time (in the original book, it was because of some special circumstances in the team, especially when I learned that the Kataoka supervisor would resign as the head coach of the team after the fall competition, and the third-year seniors, under the leadership of the Tetsu team, proposed to their own supervisor that it was a special retirement match before the start of the fall competition.) ）

The situation in this life is very different from the original book.

Time naturally follows the customary tradition of Qingdao.

It's just that this time, the philosophical team's mind is somewhat close to the original book.

I saw the battle of my own juniors at the scene.

It is also the mental state of witnessing the defeat of the juniors.

Although it seems that at present, it seems that these juniors have gradually found their normal state, but from the perspective of the Zhe team, there are some things that most of the juniors have not really understood, not only because of ordinary players, but also because of Shigerino Shin.

The Tetsu team did not regret recommending Shigerino Shin to be their successor, as the captain of the new team, strength, responsibility, strength, mentality, no matter from what point of view, the Tetsu team believes that Shigerno is the most suitable existence in the current team to take over their position, at this point, even if it is Miyuki, the Tetsu team thinks that it is slightly inferior.

However, this time in the tournament.

Team Tetsu also discovered the problem that existed in Shigerun.

That's a bit of an over-conscious sense of responsibility.

Instead, it will become a shackle for Shigeno Shin.

It is precisely because of what is seen.

A certain thought also surged into the heart of the philosophical team.

And this idea is to be realized through this retirement match.

"Oh? Retirement? It's really this time.,It's about this weekend or next weekend.,It depends on your third-grade schedule.,This matter.,I've already talked to Ota before.,And Takashima.,Find a time tomorrow.,Notify all the third-grade players.,And then set a specific time.。 ”

Superintendent Kataoka hadn't realized the idea of his beloved apprentice at this time, and as one of the most proud players he had cultivated in the past few years, looking at Tetsuya Yuuki, who was about to graduate, Superintendent Kataoka's expression and tone were also unprecedentedly soft.

"Yes, Superintendent, in terms of time, we have already discussed it in the third grade, and this Saturday is quite appropriate, that is, in terms of form, Superintendent, we in the third grade hope to have an official match with our current teammates!!"

The Tetsu team stood upright, put his hands behind his back, looked at the Kataoka supervisor in front of him with resolute eyes, and said loudly.

And the words that came out also made Superintendent Kataoka slightly stunned.

"What is the format of the official competition?"

Superintendent Kataoka asked rhetorically, as if he was a little uncertain.

You know, generally speaking, a team's third-grade retirement match is basically carried out in a special way, such as the super brawl form of the last session, feeding the third-year seniors as much as possible, so that they can swing the stick to the fullest and play happily.

The last session was a relatively rare position swap play.

Shigeno Shinto went straight to be a catcher.

Such a variety of forms.

It's just to let the third-year seniors have fun.

Let them leave the happiest memories of baseball in the last days of high school graduation.

This time.

As a representative of the third grade, Yuuki actually proposed the format of the official competition.

This was really much more than Kataoka had expected.

"Yes, Overseer! This is a decision that we made after deliberation with all the third-year players, and we want to have a real duel with the juniors, which is both something we want to do and because there are things that we want to convey to the juniors in this way. ”

Facing Inspector Kataoka's gaze, the expression of the philosophical team was unprecedentedly serious, and the words that were firmly spoken also moved Inspector Kataoka slightly.

That last word.

It made Superintendent Kataoka instantly understand the thoughts and plans of his beloved disciple.

At the moment of realizing this.

Superintendent Kataoka immediately agreed to Yuuki's request in his heart.

"Well, since it's the will of all your third-year contestants, then it's up to you to decide."

Figured this out.

Superintendent Kataoka didn't hesitate at the moment, nodded and decisively agreed to the request of the Tetsu team.

So!

During this lunch break today.

Shigeno was called into the office by Superintendent Kataoka.

That's why I'll see the philosopher team here.

"Jessan!"

And at the moment of seeing the Zhe team.

Shigerno naturally realized that his own supervisor called him over, probably not because of training, but probably about the next retirement match.

Shigerun's reaction was also very fast, and he didn't need Kataoka to say anything, and he thought of this matter almost instantly, not only because Shigeru Ye experienced it last year, but also because during this time period, it was related to the baseball club, and it also involved the matter of the third-year seniors, except for the retirement game, there should be nothing else.

And Superintendent Kataoka's next words also verified Shigerun's thoughts.

It's just the second half of the sentence, which also makes Shigeno feel a little surprised.

"Huh? Is it a real event? And the seniors? ”

At the moment when Kataoka's words fell.

Shigero's eyes widened, he glanced at the Kataoka supervisor at the top of the house, and then shifted his gaze to the Tetsu team with a calm expression on the side, and said with a slightly dumbfounded look.

Such a way to retire from the game.

Shigerino really didn't expect it.
