"That...... That one...... I said......"

When Li Yuanrang and the others were chatting energetically, it seemed that someone next to him had been trying to interject. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a while, a few of them reacted and found out that the person who wanted to talk to was Kazuya Takeda, the film's leading actor who played the best in college ball and played baseball the strongest among the actors.

"You're friends with Aji?"

Takeda asked.

"It's a classmate."

"It's a baseball teammate."

Several people rushed to answer.

"That means, you're from the School of Peace? Isn't that the same school that Fujiwara's predecessors attended? ”

So Takeda shouted in the direction of Junko Fujiwara.

"Fujiwara-senpai, these people are from the Peace Academy."

Junko turned to see everyone and waved her hand with a smile on her face.

"Junko senior, this person is your diehard FAN!"

Tako pushed Masaoka in front of him and pointed it out to Junko.

"I bought the full version of every single!"

Masaoka, who has to say something, is nervous, so he can only show his loyalty in this way.

"Huh? Are you sure? Thank you! ”

Junko nodded lightly in this direction, as a gesture of gratitude. Then neither side knew what to say again, so they could only keep smiling at each other.

In the end, it was Kazuya Takeda who brought the topic back again.

"Actually, I'm still in high school, and I'm also a ...... in the baseball club at school."

Takeda began to introduce himself. Although for people like Yabe and Masaoka, who watch TV variety shows every day, Takeda is a familiar face. But Li Yuanrang knew this person for the first time.

Kazuya Takeda signed a contract with an entertainment agency to become an actor when he was in middle school, but he hasn't received much attention. Although his appearance is at the upper middle level, the job he receives is always to play a student with no name in some campus-themed film and television dramas.

On the other hand, in school, Takeda has always been the main player of the baseball team, and the coach has a high opinion of his talent in the field of baseball.

When it came time to enter high school, Takeda's office made a bold decision to position him as "the most active high school student who can play baseball." sent him to a baseball club that can score Koshien almost every year. And through a special relationship, he got into the team's starting lineup.

At this spring's Koshien Games, Takeda joined the team as a first-year freshman, and quickly became popular on social networking sites with his handsome face, which was completely different from the average high school player, and the viral video deliberately arranged by the office.

was then selected as the leading actor in this college baseball-themed movie, which is a natural thing.

"Actually, my school's baseball club will be coming to Tokyo this weekend to shoot some shots of the film......

"Coming to Tokyo? Isn't your school in Tokyo? ”

In Lee Wonrang's common sense, Japan's acting career is centered in the Tokyo area. Therefore, Kazuya Takeda, who has a national reputation, should also live in Tokyo.

"His school is in Yamanashi Prefecture."

Because Takeda is a player who has played in Koshien, Tagu, who is usually keen on collecting baseball information, knows a lot about this aspect.

Yamanashi Prefecture is located in the mountains north of Mt. Fuji. Although it is located in the Chubu region, it is actually very close to Tokyo in the Kanto region. It takes less than two hours to drive from Kofu, the seat of the prefectural office, to central Tokyo. If you go to the Peace School in western Tokyo, it will take about an hour.

With a population of less than 1 million, the prefecture has one of the few participating schools in baseball in Japan. The Yamanashi Prefectural Assembly is perennially a size of less than 30 teams of less than 40 teams. The strong team only needs to play four or five rounds to enter Koshien.

Therefore, Yamanashi Prefecture has always been one of the main destinations for the so-called "baseball study abroad" to study in a different place for the development of baseball.

Kazuya Takeda's private Kai Sokai High School is a school that attracts a large number of international students in this type of baseball.

With these special sports students from all over Japan. Kai Soai has scored Koshien five times in the last seven years.

This spring's selection meeting was eliminated in the second round. However, in the summer qualifiers, they are still the top favorites in the prefecture.

"Because of the recent filming of the movie, some of the originally scheduled practice competitions have been cancelled, if you have time this Saturday, would you like to hold a practice competition?"

Takeda finally explained his true intentions.

"Do you really want to compare with us?"

"Our team doesn't seem to be particularly strong......

"Isn't it a waste of ......time for your team to be supervised?"

A few people at the Peace School didn't know if they should agree.

"I'll be fine if I go and talk to the superintendent, I've heard Yaji talk a lot about your school's baseball club during the recent filming, and he should be a good rival. And one more game before the summer qualifiers begins. ”

Obviously, as a strong baseball school, Kai Fei is well aware of the role of practice games in the development of the team. Although he had to agree to the invitation of Takeda's office to participate in the film because of the business partnership. But if there is a chance, I still hope to hold one more game.

"There's also the problem that we've got a practice game scheduled for Sunday and we only have one starting pitcher......"

Yabe suddenly thought of the upcoming match schedule. The opponent of Sunday's game is the shopping street of 4-chome. If I agree to Saturday's practice match, I'm afraid that Fukushima Ichihei will have to throw for two days in a row.

In a baseball game, the starting pitcher is the hardest position. Teams in professional baseball play five or six games a week. Players from other positions can play in every game. But the starting pitcher is played by five or six players.

In order to alleviate the fatigue of the game, each starting pitcher needs to rest for at least four or five days after the game before starting again.

In the Koshien finals of the high school baseball short-term tournament system, many teams do not hesitate to lose the athletic life of their players in order to win, and the aces of the team will be on the board several games in a row.

But it was Koshien where he had to go home if he lost, and if he did it in his usual practice matches, it would be worth the loss.

Fukushima is the only ace at the School of Peace and can't get injured before the summer qualifiers begin.

"Actually, I can pitch too......"

Because of the tense relationship, Masaoka, who had not been very active in the front, suddenly spoke.

"That's right, Masaoka was the ace of the Lion when you were in elementary school!"

As Masaoka's opponent in elementary school, Tagu was deeply impressed by this.

"If we agree to play with you, can we let Junko-senpai come and watch the battle?"

Masaoka plucked up the courage to speak his mind.

"As long as Fujiwara-senpai comes to watch the game, will you fight us?"

Takeda asked.

"In that case, I'm going to play on Sunday. In this way, Captain Fukushima only needs to make one throw! ”

Masaoka's mood suddenly rose.

"Don't worry, she'll come. It's on me. However, although it is not good for me to say this myself, we are also the shortlisted team of Koshien this spring, so it seems that I am still begging you......"

"It's true that you asked for it first......"

The four people in the Peace Academy replied in unison.

"Well, I brought it up."

Takeda thought back to the conversation just now, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

"But you also have to promise one thing, Yaji will also come to the scene......"

Kazuya Takeda added.
