In the quarterfinals of the Kanto Conference, Nishitokyo Seido High School played against Komata Industries, Chiba Prefecture, the night before the game.

Sawamura, who was lying on the top bunk, couldn't sleep anyway.

It's not that he's nervous, with Sawamura's game experience and mental quality in his previous life, he hasn't experienced any scenes. A small Kanto conference naturally couldn't cause any ripples in his heart.

The reason why Sawamura couldn't sleep was because of the warehouse holding of his lower bunk. It's strange tonight, the warehouse that doesn't pay attention to everything on weekdays actually turned over the bed vigorously.

Speaking of which, we have to talk about the structure of the dormitory in Qingxinliao.

Seido High School arranges a mixed dormitory for each of the three grades for the baseball club players.

In addition to the necessary living facilities, the dormitory also has a TV, a study desk, and two queen beds. Two queen beds, one single and one bunk beds.

If there is no accident, this single card is generally reserved for third-grade seniors. This is not to say that everyone is polite and respectful of seniors. It's just that from the perspective of first come, first served, it is also the seniors who choose first. You can't force your senior to move as soon as you enter school, right?

The lower bunk of the upper and lower bunks is reserved for the seniors of the second grade, and the junior students of the first grade sleep on the upper bunk. (Actually, some people like the lower bunk, and some people like the upper bunk.) But at Seido High School, there are hardly any baseball club players who really like the upper bunk. The crazy training has already squeezed out all the physical strength in their bodies, and even climbing the bed at this time is a very tiring thing. ）

As a first-grade elementary school student, even if he is already the actual ace of the team, Sawamura can only sleep on the top bunk of the bunk bed.

Today, Kuramori keeps turning over in the lower bunk, and the upper bunk in Sawamura is shaking.

Although Sawamura himself is the kind of character who is very arrogant and doesn't care about anything, it's also uncomfortable, okay? He's not the kind of kid who grows up on a shaker......

Sawamura really wants to turn over and get out of bed and teach the dishonest Kuramochi a good lesson.

But seeing Kuramoto's sad little appearance, he couldn't bear it anymore. For Kuramochi, who has been giggling all day, he rarely shows such an expression. Now that it has been revealed, it means that he really has something on his mind.

Sawamura thinks about it, he has to be forgiving and forgiving, and take a step back from the sea, air and sky...... (The main thing is that you can't beat it.) ）

"Something?"

Masuko hasn't come back yet, so even if tomorrow is the day of the competition, he hasn't relaxed his training. (This is Masuko's last year, and on average each additional training session is an hour later than Kuramochi, and much later than Sawamura, who trains the madman.) ）

Now in the dormitory, there are only the two of them, Sawamura asked directly.

There was another shaking, and Sawamura knew that Kuramachi in the lower bunk had turned over for the seventeenth time.

"If you have one, you might as well tell me about it."

Sawamura tries to control his voice as much as possible and doesn't gossip too much. (Because if you show too much gossip or schadenfreude, you are likely to be cut.) ）

Cangzhi may have been pressed for too long, and it is difficult for him to let go, and he wants to find someone to talk to, but he really opens his mouth.

"Komata Industry was the school I wanted to go to the most."

Hearing Kuramochi open his mouth and not thunder as usual, Sawamura realized that this school was very special to Kuramochi.

Then why didn't you go?

As soon as this problem appeared, it was pressed by Sawamura. In fact, he knew why Kurachi didn't make it.

Sawamura opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

The warehouse holder of the lower bunk, but his eyes were open, and he fell into memory.

At that time, Kokuchi Kogyo did not recruit Kurachi, but Kuramochi's middle school had always had a relationship with Kokuda Kogyo for recommendation. At that time, Kuramochi was selected and recommended to Komata Industry by the school because of his baseball expertise.

As for Kuramochi, the person in charge of recruiting students at Konda Industry was also very satisfied after doing a survey.

This matter is almost a foregone conclusion.

If, not later, violence occurred. (In the previous article, it was the incident of Kuramochi beating up the son of the city senator in order to stand up for his friend.) ）

That Kurachi Hachisaki is a player of Komada Industries!

However, because of the violence, Konda Industrial immediately decided to give up holding this thorn. Not only Komata Kogyo but also several other high schools have chosen to refuse Kuramochi admission for this reason.

Kuramochi, who loves baseball, almost ruined his own baseball path.

Strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with Komata Industry in this matter.

Although Kuramochi has a strong personality, he is not the kind of person who does not distinguish between right and wrong. He also knew that this incident was no wonder for Kota Industries, so he didn't have any resentment in his heart. He only blames himself, blames himself for being unladylike. (He was deceived by his so-called 'brother' and used as a gun.) ）

Now that he wants to fight with Okita Industry, Kurachi's mood is inevitably complicated.

In the first 14 years of Kuramochi's life, Komata Industry was always his dream!

Now that he has to compete with his childhood dreams, Kuramoto's heart will inevitably have many twists and turns.

Next to his pillow was a brand new guerrilla glove.

The glove was a little worn, but Kuramori kept it. It was the gift he received during the most frustrated time of his life. Although he did not know who gave the gift.

This glove, like Qingdao, has become Kurachi's spiritual sustenance.

After a long silence, Sawamura's voice suddenly came from the upper bunk.

"If you had been invited by Kotsuda Kogyo and Seido at the same time, where would you go?"

The position was stunned.

To be honest, this question he never thought about.

"Probably, I'll go to Tatsuda."

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't play baseball in his hometown, he was betrayed by his friends. Kuramochi really didn't have the determination to come to Tokyo to play.

"Then let's prove it tomorrow, it's your best choice now, or it's better to stay in Ota today!"

Sawamura's voice was a little distant: "If you want to make yourself not regret it, then prove it to yourself." When you enter the Qingdao Road, you are definitely no worse than in Koshida, and even stronger! ”

Prove it to yourself!

Even if it is the arrangement of fate, I will definitely not regret choosing Qingdao.

Kuramochi suddenly smiled, although being comforted by Sawamura made him a little unhappy. However, the knot that has plagued him for a long time can be regarded as untied.

"You stinky ......"

"Whew~"

Before Kuramori could finish speaking, a slight snoring from Sawamura could be heard on the upper bunk.

Apparently, he fell asleep.

Kuramochi, who was about to teach Sawamura a lesson with his mouth open, suddenly closed his mouth and returned to his bed.

"Thank you!"

The voice is so soft that it's almost inaudible.

On the top bunk, Sawamura's eyes were open.

……

The next day, the friends of Qingdao High School got ready early in the morning, got on the bus, and went to the competition venue.

There, they will compete with Koshida for the final Kanto semi-final throne.
