Qingdao's second round won the game with a good score of 18-0, and Rong Chun firmly locked the game at the beginning, and ended steadily in the late valley, and the two first-year pitchers supported the whole game.

The two schools met again at Pitcher Hill, and Captain Yamaoka, who said that he was very happy even if it was a round of playing, was crying with tears on his face.

A "thank you for your advice" ended the road to Koshien in Changde High School. When Rong Chun shook hands with the opponent's contestants, his expression was stunned.

The touch from the palm of his hand made him clearly feel the roughness of the other party's palm, and he could imagine how much training the other party had gone through with such a pair of hands.

The talent is average, the strength is average, but they are still teenagers who love baseball.

"Come on!"

Namba raised his head to look at Rong Chun who was speaking, he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, did he think his school was too weak?

"Next time, let's have another game in Koshien next time!"

"What are you talking about..... Impossible. ”

"Yes, absolutely, give up."

Rong Chun's eyes were full of seriousness, this team that was beaten to 18-0 has been working hard until the end, no matter how many points are scored, the pitcher is still going all out, and his teammates have been encouraging and supporting the pitcher.

This made Rong Chun suddenly think of when he was in middle school, when he had neither strength nor luck. But he had a group of good companions who followed him from beginning to end.

"Don't you know, the title of our school, what a lucky team, it's ridiculous, we're just a bunch of people who don't have the strength and have shit luck."

"It's not just pure luck, you can't do it by luck alone, no one can always be lucky enough to intercept baseball, that's your strength, it's just that you are not confident in other people's words. If you really don't think it matters, you won't cry now. ”

'I cried....'

Namba involuntarily touched the corners of his eyes and felt the wetness of the tips of his fingers,

'I actually cried, I thought I was lucky to have made it this far....'

"Next time, the next time you meet, you must tell everyone that you came here by strength, and tell those people that you are strong."

"Why do you say these things...."

Rong Chun was stunned, and then suddenly laughed,

"Probably because you are similar to me, I'm also from Nagano, and the Akagi Junior High School that was abolished this year is my alma mater, and I used to form a baseball team with my friends, although it has always been a round trip, and I have never won, and finally I left them alone to come to Tokyo....."

In the end, Rong Chun's eyes dimmed, and his smile also converged, and the whole person looked a little decadent..., Namba couldn't help but put his hand on Rong Chun's head and rubbed it, seeing Rong Chun's puzzled eyes, Namba muttered,

"You're really likable!"

"What?"

"When I was playing, I felt happy to see you, and now it's even clearer."

"Is that why you've been staring at me?"

"Ah, because I think it's funny."

“.....”

Rong Chun didn't know what to say at this time, it was obviously a simple thing, and it was a little terrible to make up for his brain, Rong Chun's face turned red, and he said awkwardly,

"Well, then let's say okay, next time we must be in the game."

"But I'm in the third grade....."

The atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward, and Chris on the side covered his head with a headache,

'When will Sawamura's habit of pulling the opposing player to talk change!' ’

The final result was that Rong Chun successfully collected the contact information of a school's pitchers, and the other players on the other side had to come together to add.

The Qingdao players standing outside looked at Rong Chun, who was surrounded by a group and touched on the head, and was a friend.

"Is this guy Sawamura full of charm? Why is this always the case...."

"Last night, I saw that my phone kept ringing after I slept in Stupid Village, so I opened it to see, and it turned out that there were about forty or fifty text messages cheering him for the game."

"It looks like there will be more than a dozen more ..... in the next game."

"Hey...."

Qingdao collectively sighed, on how to have a heartthrob in his own family....

"Almost, Kurachi, get Sawamura back."

"OK, I know..."

Kuramori smiled sadly, then clenched his fist, clicked his knuckles, brushed away the players from Changde High School, and punched Rong Chun's head, as he wished, he saw Rong Chun squatting with his head in his arms.

Then he smiled and said to the players in Changde,

"Because there will be a group activity next, I'll take Sawamura away first, it's rude...."

The contestants of Changde High School looked at Rong Chun who was dragged away in a daze, and were surprised to find that Rong Chun could wave goodbye to them in a more comfortable posture.

"The Qingdao players are really scary!"

After the game, everyone went back to the hotel to enjoy the victory lunch, and after a short rest, they came to the arena to watch the last game of the day.

After today's schedule was over, Qingdao and his party were waiting outside the stadium to draw lots. Looking at the formation of the relationship between Superintendent Kataoka and Vice Minister Takashima Rei, I can't tell if I'm happy or not because of the facial paralysis of the captain.

"How's that, who did you draw...."

Izaki said with some nervousness, and everyone was also very concerned about this issue, and they all looked at it with burning eyes.

Spread his hand calmly, holding the lottery paper inside, and said flatly,

"It's Kiryu Osaka."

Everyone was quiet for a while, and no one expected to meet Kiryu Osaka, the winning alternate, in the third round.

"Is it them?"

"It's a bit of a coincidence."

Izakiki and Ryosuke Kominato said a few words dryly, and their hearts were a little heavy,

"What's going on, why are you so worried, if we can win the first time, we can win the second time."

"What I like the most is your blind optimism in Sawamura, I really wish I could share a little."

Although Aodo won the last competition, they all knew that they were not in their heyday, and Osaka Kiryu naturally wouldn't be either.

Especially Tamba and Kawakami are not playing against Osaka Kiryu at one time, so they know each other's strength, and when they think of the line on the opposite side, they feel angry.

"Okay, let's talk about it when we go back, standing outside doesn't help."

"Yes!"

After returning to the hotel, everyone entered the meeting mode.

"The center of Kiryu Osaka is their ace pitcher, Hiromi Pavilion, a third-year pitcher, who throws right and hits right, and anyone who has played against Hiromi Kan knows that his ball quality is very heavy, and the change ball he is good at is the curveball. It's still Osaka Kiryu's main attack force with four sticks, and it's very powerful. ”

"It's true that Kuramochi failed in the previous short fights because of his heavy ball quality."

"Tomorrow's game is going to be tough."

"And in addition to Guan Guangmei, the other beaters should not be underestimated."

"Well, after all, it's the first line in the country."

Looking at the serious and heavy expressions of his predecessors, Rong Chun was very puzzled,

"What's going on with the seniors, if we talk about the line, we won't lose the line."

Except for Chris's seniors, the other seniors ignored Rong Chun, which made Rong Chun very depressed.

After taking the beater information handed to him by Chris, after reciting it without love, he left the room and ran outside to breathe. After Rong Chun left, everyone started the discussion again,

"By the way, I don't know who the overseer will send to play tomorrow."

"The superintendent said that the contestants will be announced later, so let's familiarize ourselves with Kiryu Osaka's information first."

"They are all old opponents, and they all know the basic information."

Not long after Rong Chun ran out, he was called back by Kurachi, saying that it was Kataoka Supervisor who was going to publish the first list, and Rong Chun hurried back.

"Tomorrow's first strike is Tsubuyani, Tanba and Kawakami Relay, Sawamura, you come to wrap up. Everyone knows Kiryu Osaka's playing line, so tomorrow we will implement a follow-up strategy, and all four pitchers will play, and they will have to lock their situation firmly before handing over the baton. ”

"Yes!"

"In addition, the other players must go all out to support the pitcher, and you must believe that Seido's line is not weaker than Osaka Kiryu, who has beaten Osaka Kiryu before, and will still be able to do it tomorrow."

"Yes!"

After the pre-game meeting, Rong Chun, who had not been addicted to it today, still couldn't help but sneak out, although it was said to be a sneak run, but in fact, everyone found out, but because Rong Chun was also used to the situation here these days, he was not so worried.

Although the sky was dark, the surrounding street lamps illuminated the way ahead for Rong Chun. Rong Chun, who can't drag the tires because he's outside, hasn't had a good run these days.

Rong Chun ran according to the previous route, came to the vending machine last time, stopped, Rong Chun, who ran with all his might, was now sweating profusely, bought a drink, sat on the bench next to him, drank the drink, and looked at the starry sky in the sky.

After finishing a drink, Rong Chun started running again, and by the time he returned to the dormitory, the sky had completely sunk.

After a quick clarity, Rong Chun tiptoed back to the room,

"Don't run so late next time."

"Yes...."

The voice of Superintendent Kataoka that sounded behind Rong Chun made Rong Chun sure that he had been caught, so he was not so careful and hurried back to the room.

"It's too late, stupid."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I forgot about it while I ran."

"You better go to the track and field club to practice long-distance running!"

"I'm not going."

"Kurachi, Sawamura, you two are too noisy, you're going to sleep, I'll turn off the lights."

"Yes~~"

may have used all his strength when running, and Rong Chun's sleep was extraordinarily sweet. Because the match against Kiryu Osaka was the last one, everyone didn't rush to the stadium, but chose to warm up at the hotel and have a lunch to pray for victory.

After making sure you have a good rest, you rush to Hanshin Koshien Stadium. Entering the familiar passage of the players, it is still a dimly lit environment.

When the last game was over and the players left, Rong Chun saw the White Dragon's team. Stared at Meima and walked in front of him, but Meima didn't find Rong Chun, in this dim environment, in fact, he couldn't see much clearly, plus Mei Ma didn't know that Rong Chun was a member of Qingdao.

But until now, Mima thought that the last time she met was a student from a local school, a fan of Hakuryu. Rong Chun didn't look at it for long before retracting his gaze.

After all, the White Dragon won this game, and as long as Qingdao won the game, there was a one-in-a-half chance to meet the White Dragon's team.

Aomichi, who scored more than a dozen points in two consecutive games, has become famous in Koshien, on the one hand, because of Aodo's strong playing line, and on the other hand, Aodo's two first-year pitchers.

When Rong Chun and the others appeared, there were already viewers calling out their names. It looks strange, probably after Koshien to meet the audience of Seido.

It was half past five in the afternoon, and it was still a little stuffy on the field, so Miyuki and Chris inevitably reminded the two first-year pitchers to pay attention to their bodies, and then Miyuki pulled Shibuya to do warm-up exercises and pass and catch the ball first.

When the two of them walked to the cowshed, there was an uproar.

"Miyuki~~~"

"Valley~~"

Everyone looked at it in confusion, and saw that there were many girls in the audience near the cowshed, and there were many support banners in their hands, on which were written the names of Miyuki and Shimiya.

"Damn, those two guys are too enviable, and there are girls who come to cheer them on."

"Why didn't I have the urge to kill him when Sawamura was surrounded by other people, but I really wanted to do it when I changed Miyuki."

"Probably because Sawamura kills men, women and children, but Miyuki attracts girls with a face."

"Didn't there be girls from schools who came to see the baseball club's training because Yu Xing was handsome, but in the end, he left after watching it for a few days, and Yu Xing could only rely on his face to confuse those girls for a while, and when he got to know a little bit, he understood that Yu Xing was a handsome guy."

"Miyuki is a guy who can't do anything but baseball."

"But he's still popular."

"It's okay for a while, I also want to have cute girls cheering me on!"

"Speaking of which, Sawamura, will Wakana come today?"

"Huh!? Probably not, they didn't say they would come to watch the game today. ”

"That's it, it's really hateful, it actually made Miyuki stand out alone."

"That, Ah Chun's senior, there is not only one Yuxing, but also the valley."

"Forget about the valley, that guy will just ignore those people."

When Hakushu heard Isashiki's words, he looked at the two people who passed and received the ball, and found that Miyuki and Shimiya ignored those girls, but those girls were still very excited, and said,

"Ah, so handsome."

"Descending Valley-kun is so cold!"

"Miyuki-san's smile is so handsome!"

Why the same attitude, but the views of teammates are completely different, Bai Shu can only secretly think,

"Maybe it's the same fate. ’
