After the first game of the fall tournament, there was still some time before the next game, and in addition to the necessary study time, the players of the Seido Baseball Club threw themselves into training.

Looking at the players who are in full swing in training, observing the daily supervision of the players, pinching their mustaches,

'It's a good atmosphere, Seichi. There are players who train everywhere they go, and third-graders who have retired are willing to help with training, and very few of them come back after graduating from the school where I used to teach. ’

I have to say that the Ochiai supervisor is still a little envious of Kataoka's supervision.

Superintendent Kataoka is also a young wave among coaches, but it is such a young superintendent who has taught the national champion.

Not only that, the relationship between Kataoka and the players is also very good, and he can receive condolences from the graduating students from time to time.

This makes the Ochiai overseer, who has always been realistic, naturally very complicated in his mind.

"Jun Cao!!"

“.....”

"Sawamura-san, I've said it many times, don't call me Juncao."

"Yes, I see, Juncao. Do you have time for Juncao next, can you take a look at my pitch? ”

“.....”

The Ochiai overseer, who was given a strange nickname, really didn't want to pay attention to this kid.

But thinking about his cute little daughter and the unpaid mortgage, the Ochiai superintendent evoked a business-style smile.

"Of course, Sawamura-san."

"Yo Xi, then let's hurry up!"

was taken to the cowshed by Rong Chun in a hurry, and after watching a few of Rong Chun's pitches, he asked and answered,

"It's floating up....."

"Yes, the first few pitches of this pitch are okay, but as the number of balls increases, it will gradually float up."

Ochiai Supervisor, who found out about the situation after watching a few balls, Miyuki admired this overseer, and Miyuki told Ochiai Supervisor about their problem this time.

Overseer Ochiai habitually touched his mustache and asked Rong Chun to continue to throw a few more shots.

During these few balls, he constantly changed his position and carefully observed Rong Chun's situation.

After almost determining what the problem was, the Ochiai overseer told Rong Chun to stop.

"I have to say that Sawamura-san, you are still really good, this kind of team has high requirements for grip strength, and it is very good that you can shoot like this.

If you want to shoot this type of ball well, it is best to add grip strength training in addition to the usual pitching training.

You obviously know that your pitch is high, so the further back you go, the stiffer your body becomes, and you can't pick the stitches properly.

This kind of ball won't be of much use to you right now, so it's better to take this opportunity to deepen the other balls and wait until the second or third grade to contact this one. ”

Hearing what the Ochiai superintendent said, Miyuki nodded in agreement,

"Look, Sawamura, didn't I say that? This ball is sealed for a period of time. ”

"....."

"Okay, don't be so awkward, don't we still have a lot of problems to solve?"

In the end, Rong Chun finally gave up the uncontrollable ball as Yu Yuki thought, and reviewed the existing ball type well.

Seeing that it was almost over, let Rong Chun go to rest,

"Hey! I'm not done yet. ”

"It's the time of the game, so you have to avoid over-pitching. Sawamura, you have to know that you are the trump card, as the backbone of the team, you have to pay attention to your body. ”

"Huh!? Isn't the backbone of Qingdao the backbone of Miyuki senior? ”

It was obviously a question sentence, but it made Rong Chun say a definite tone.

Miyuki could tell from Rong Chun's eyes that he didn't mean to say that, but really thought so.

I've always thought that Rongchun hates himself very much, and I don't know why I'm suddenly happy.,

"Ah, I didn't expect you to think so, it's such an honor to be so recognized by the ace."

Yu Xing was obviously very happy, but he couldn't help but tease Rong Chun.

At this time, Rong Chun realized what he had said, and his face turned red all of a sudden.

Dangling helplessly,

"No, I didn't mean that...."

Looking at Yu Yuyu's smiling eyes, Rong Chun rushed out of the door in annoyance.

"Ahh For the sake of your praise of me, I can help you catch a few more balls~~~"

"I don't need it, I'm going to practice my hitting, I didn't have a single hit in the last game, I'm going to work hard!!"

Looking at Rong Chun's back, Yu Xing held on to the fence and smiled.

"Hey, Miyuki, it's my turn to pitch, don't laugh!"

"Ahem... Yes, I'll come, Ah Xian. ”

And when Rong Chun, who ran to practice blowing, passed, a strike shed happened to be empty.

With the anger coming from Miyuki's side, Rong Chun hit again and again, and the landing point was good, and he stunned the group of people around him.

I found that even the pitcher hit better than himself, especially Rong Chun, who was still better at short hits, and others felt that they seemed to be too weak.

After this stimulation, the batting practice exploded, and the hits were constantly knocked out, and some people scored home runs.

Minister Ota, who came to see the state of the players, looked at the lively scene in front of him and couldn't help but admire,

"It's spectacular!"

In front of you, there are five batting booths side by side, all of which are feeding players doing throwing training.

Coupled with the pitching machine, there are quite a few more batting sheds in Qingdao.

"I guess I'm glad that the striking practice area has been increased to five, so the players can do more practice!"

"Yes, it was Ochiai Inspector who made this suggestion, because the team usually does actual combat practice, and everyone has high self-requirements for baseball, so now you don't have to practice so brainlessly."

"Oh, I see."

Would the overseer be in charge of anything other than the cowshed? ’

'Well, this overseer is a good deal!' ’

After hitting for a while, it was time to take a break for a while, and Rong Chun vented all his excess energy, which felt unexpectedly good.

After letting the strike zone out, Rong Chun squatted aside to watch the others practice.

Looking at it, his eyes involuntarily moved to the ball feeder.

Cautiously rubbed it over and asked softly,

"Jin Tian, are you tired, do you want me to replace you."

In fact, Jin Tian, who was not particularly tired, originally wanted to say that he was not tired, but looking at Rong Chun's eager eyes, he blurted out,

"Then Sawamura-san, come on."

Jin Tian regretted it a little after he said it, but looking at Rong Chun's eyes that suddenly brightened, he felt that it was not bad.

Rong Chun, who rubbed into the position of the ball feeder, was super happy, because this strike zone was limited to a straight ball and an inside corner, so Rong Chun's straight ball was unceremoniously smashed into the hitter.

After Rong Chun came on the court, the hitter couldn't play well, and kept hitting throw-ins or high flying balls and the like.

'Should it be Sawamura?' The pitching is so sharp! ’

When Rong Chuntou was happy, there was a sudden exclamation,

"Ah, Sawamura-kun!"

Rong Chun, who was frightened, almost got out of his baseball, but fortunately, he controlled it and accurately stuffed it into the inner corner of the hitter.

The hunting field entrusted by Miyuki came to the strike area to see the results of Rongchun's training, and the result was exactly as Miyuki expected.

Rong Chun, who was almost swinging the bat, really grabbed the position of the ball feeder.

"Hang, why did you suddenly call me, and so loudly."

"Sawamura-kun, didn't Senior Miyuki tell you that pitching is forbidden after pitching training!"

"Ah, I forgot.... But Miyuki-senpai isn't there, so he won't find out. ”

"I'm the senior of Miyuki who called you to remind you!"

"What! Did you actually take refuge in the seniors of Yuyuki? ”

"Huh!? I don't have it, I'm just entrusted by the seniors of Yuyuki! ”

The hunting field, which was a little confused by Rong Chun's sophistry, wanted to cry without tears,

"That, Sawamura, you also threw a lot, otherwise feed the player or let me come."

Jin Tian, who had rested for a lot of time on the side, hurriedly stood up to relieve the siege.

Looking at the teammates who insisted in front of him, Rong Chun had no choice but to give up the pitcher mound.

And Superintendent Kataoka, who was paying attention to the players, happened to see this scene, and in order to prevent Eijun and the others from sneaking away where to practice pitching again, Superintendent Kataoka felt that he would be assigned a task.

"Sawamura, come here."

Rong Chun came to Inspector Kataoka a little strangely,

"What do you have to say, boss. Sawamura is always at your disposal. ”

Looking at Rong Chun, who seemed to be very well-behaved in front of him, Supervisor Kataoka was not fooled, after all, he had seen such Rong Chun too many times.

"There is still a shortage of people over there for short-term garrison practice, you go over there to help!"

"Hey~~~"

Eijun originally thought that Kataoka would allow him to pitch, but he was assigned to guard.

Rong Chun came to Court B weakly, and his teammates here asked strangely,

"Sawamura, why are you here here, the pitching practice is over?"

"Yes~~~, Inspector Kataoka said that I will assist you in practicing short-fight garrison."

Although I don't understand why Superintendent Kataoka sent his trump card over to help practice, he thought that the superintendent had his own ideas, so he didn't delve into it.

"Then please, Sawamura!"

"Understood!"

Then Rong Chun soon experienced happiness in the practice.

His short play level was very good, and he played with his own guards.

Yes, that's right, it's a joke, although I don't know what Rong Chun thinks, but the guards think so.

It's just that they still have nothing to do with Rong Chun, who has always been successful in the short fight, and they still have to endure what Rong Chun's eyes revealed,

'Hey, how did you get that ball...... Well, it's so slow, I'm ready to get on base. ’

and so on, coupled with Rong Chun's slightly sly smile, made the garrison want to beat him very much.

In the end, it was Kurachi's voice that saved them, which made the garrison suddenly relaxed,

"It's exchanged, it's time for you to go and practice throwing."

"Okay, we get it."

Looking at Mali's teammates leaving Court B, the group that had just come over to train was confused.

"Ah, Sawamura, you're in charge of the short fight today."

"Yes~~"

"It's been a long time, and I'm definitely going to get rid of you."

"Heh, let's do it when it's done!"

Then the new group once again experienced the power of Rong Chun's short fight.

Maezono, Kanemaru, and Kawakami, who were almost about to run out of breath, gradually developed some dangerous thoughts.

In the end, it was the dinner that saved both sides, and they came to the front garden of the cafeteria in embarrassment, and met the eyes of the previous group of people trained by Rong Chun.

The eyes reveal a meaning that everyone is familiar with, and the man's words are in tears!

Looking at the hard-working first-army players, Ah Bian and the others in a corner of the cafeteria were looking at them, as if they were looking at another world.

Then the next day, Rong Chun, who wanted to pitch, went to feed the ball with Shizuya as he wished.

Facing Qingdao's current two main pitchers, everyone's enthusiasm for the blow was ignited.

Kuramochi and Hakushu, who were waiting, watched as Rong Chun once again solved the hitter with one goal,

"His outside corner kick is still the same, and the timing is very difficult to catch, either in the air or in the wrong way."

"He came up to feed the ball voluntarily, but no matter how much the ace came up, it was a bit too overkill."

"Anyway, why did the valley come today, I'm really not surprised by Sawamura."

"I heard that it was to hone the ball control, and I learned it from Kawakami."

"I see...."

During the conversation, the valley also eliminated a beater and ushered in the golden pill.

Watching the Descendant Kanemaru come to the strike zone with a menacing attitude.

Thinking of the timing that the predecessor said just now, it was difficult to grasp the time, and he was played around at all.

Kanemaru's eyes sharpened,

It's because of these weapons that they have the means to play. ’

"Don't be merciful, Valley! A rare opportunity to hit your pitch. ”

Descendant nodded seriously, he himself had no intention of releasing the water at all.

'Not just Sawamura, but also Shogaya and Tojo. They've all played, how can I continue to bury it! ’

Tojo, who was paying attention to the side, looked at the scene in front of him with a smile,

"Don't be scared, Shinji is very good at hitting straight balls! ’

The baseball flew to the outfield accurately, making Superintendent Kataoka and the two ministers nod.

"Oh~~, he hit the straight ball of the valley on the first ball, and he played well."

"Lately he's been trying to perform...."

Seeing that he successfully hit the pitch to the valley, he was hit by the garrison in the same position who struck out, and he became nervous.

"My hand hurts, damn it."

However, Kanemaru, who hit baseball, was not so happy, and the ball power of Shizuya was heavier than he imagined, and his hand hurt from the shock.

This painful blow made Rong Chun interested, and invited him to Kanemaru,

"Hahaha, do you want to change to my side later, Kanemaru."

"If you're only straight!"

"Hahaha...."

"It's really good, not only the second year, but also the first year team members are so motivated."

"Yes, Saturday's match against the Seven Forests Academy may or may not be wet."

Deputy Minister Takashima suggested to the two overseers.

Rong Chun, who wants Kanemaru, has ushered in Kominato Harushi at this moment.

Rong Chun's eyes suddenly became serious, but a smile appeared on his face.

"Rong Chunjun, please be merciful to your subordinates~~"

The very gentle smile of the small Minato Spring City made the alarm in Rong Chun's heart continue to sound,

"Do you want to fight? Did you hit it? ”

"Sawamura is arguing to death, hurry up, we're still waiting!!"
