At sunset, the players of both teams lined up to salute. After the pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info, Yoichi Minami, the pitcher of Yono, ran to the side of the Peace School to chat with his former teammates.

"Would you like to have a drink together?"

The southern part of the country extended an invitation to Fukushima, and the tone was like that of a middle-aged office worker who had just finished working overtime.

"You're only seventeen, what can you drink!"

Fukushima poked Nanbu in the chest with his fist. He knew the other person was joking.

"You can drink oolong tea."

After saying that, Nanfang laughed out loud first.

"We're going to have a reflection meeting for today's game, do you want to come along?"

Fukushima asked the south.

"Forget about the introspection, maybe there will be another qualifier this summer, I don't want to spy on any information."

"Then, I'll see you in the summer."

So the two waved goodbye.

Peace Gakuen is half a belly of fish in the Nishitokyo area, and at the summer Nishitokyo qualifiers with more than 120 teams, such an unseeded team would have to play eight games to win the championship and make it to Koshien.

Because of the special team structure, Yono is often the peak of its combat power in the spring meeting before the admission of new students every year. For example, this year has played a good result, and won the right to the first two rounds of byes in the draw for the summer conference.

If these two teams want to meet in the summer conference, I am afraid that they will have to win a few games first.

……

The post-race reflection session was held at a tea shop called "AutumnWind". The environment is obviously more suitable for chatting than the curry shop that the players frequented after training, and the cost is covered by the baseball club's activity funds.

After taking his seat, while his teammates were all looking at the menu, Li Yuanrang whispered a question to Akio Yabe, who was beside him.

"Why do you call it a reflection meeting, didn't you win today?"

"It's just called this name, and the content is actually eating, drinking, and chatting, and even if you lose, you probably won't really reflect here."

In fact, it was the first time that Yabe participated in a reflection meeting in high school. In the first month or so of school, the baseball club did not play a single practice game because of the lack of players.

Probably because of the liberal and relaxed school spirit, and the reasonable ratio of men to women in the school that is close to 1:1. Of course, the most important thing is the shower room that can be used at any time on the side of the court.

The atmosphere, or smell, of the dinner party is not as bad as it is usually imagined in a men's sports club after a game.

It was the first time after studying abroad to participate in a gathering of so many people, and Li Yuanrang felt a little fresh. Although they have introduced themselves to each other on the court, except for Yabe, who is in the same class as him, and other teammates have never had a chance to chat and get to know each other.

Because he was not familiar with the menu of the store, he could not decide the content of the points for a while, so Li Yuanrang simply raised his head and observed the choices of his teammates.

Together with myself, there were eleven participants in the Reflection Meeting. Nine are team members, plus instructor Sato, and the team's acting manager, Aki Suzuki.

No, no, Suzuki doesn't seem to be here. But the number of people on the scene, one, two, three, four...... There were still eleven.

"Tian Gu, why are you here too! You're not from the IT department, are you? ”

Before Li Yuanrang could figure out the situation, his teammate Masaoka Ji was the first to discover Tian Guwu, a member of the IT department who had mixed in. They are old acquaintances from baseball in elementary school.

"I'm also a member of the baseball club now!"

Tian Gu replied confidently.

"Tian Gu just asked me to submit an application for entry, and I have already approved it."

Sato-sensei confirmed Tako's statement and then continued.

"It's almost time to register for the summer conference, and it's not good if there is no one on the bench. Didn't Tagu-san also play baseball when he was in elementary school......"

"When I was in elementary school, I was the fourth right fielder!" Tian Gu interjected proudly.

"What about the IT department?"

Yabe asked.

"I'm still a member of the IT department, and I'm in charge of college baseball data collection and mining projects. Anyway, the school rules don't stipulate that you can't have more than one club at the same time. ”

"But ......"

Li Yuanrang suddenly interrupted everyone's conversation, and he thought of a question.

"Since Tian Gu used to be a right fielder, don't you need me anymore?"

In Li Yuanrang's heart, he always felt that he was a player who was temporarily pulled in to make up the numbers.

"How is it possible, you are the MVP of the day! You're still the first in the next game. ”

Captain Fukushima, who was sitting at the far other end of the long table, said loudly.

“MVP？”

Lee never thought that his performance in this game could be called the "Most Valuable Player". It seems that Fukushima Ichihei, who has completed nine games, is even harder. But after thinking about it, I feel that it makes some sense, after all, the preemption point and the victory point are all made by themselves.

In fact, from the perspective of technical statistics, Li Yuanrang only had three points in today's game. The other point is the opponent's error.

However, if Li Yuanrang hadn't hit the ball, he would definitely not have been able to score this point.

Before this game, Fukushima Issei originally expected Lee, in fact, it was only to rely on four bad balls to get to base, or play this kind of ball that disrupts the opponent's defense to see if there are any loopholes to drill.

That three-pointer was a bonus.

It didn't take long for the topic at the dinner table to drift from the game to nowhere. Li Yuanrang remembered that he hadn't decided on the dish he had ordered yet.

A tea shop is actually a coffee shop. The part eaten is basically Western food. In general, it is a separate meal system.

In today's situation, it seems most appropriate to order a set meal such as noodles or rice that is enough for yourself.

Li Yuanrang hesitated between hamburger meat curry, omelet rice and beef risotto.

At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind him.

"If it's me, I'll order beef risotto."

When Li Yuanrang turned around, he saw Suzuki Aki wearing a white shirt and black trousers, holding a small notebook for ordering food.

"Yaji, why are you here?"

In fact, Li Yuanrang's real question is why she works here. On the one hand, judging from the brief contact in school, Aki Suzuki's family seems to be in a good situation.

On the other hand, Lee Wonrang also remembered that Yaji was a member of an active idol group, and it seemed that she was not suitable for other odd jobs.

"Because it's my family's shop." Yaji's face was stacked with a typical business smile.

"Your home?"

"In other words, the owner is my parents."

Li Yuanrang looked at the bar, where a lean man in an apron who looked to be in his mid-forties smiled and waved at him.

This is probably the father of the Suzuki family, Li Yuanrang thought so in his heart, and nodded by the way.

"Running a coffee shop or something at home, isn't this setting a little too old-fashioned......"

Li Yuanrang always felt as if he had seen such a female character somewhere.

"What's the matter, I'm not going to do new gymnastics."

Yaji replied.
