The two days passed quickly, and Rong Chun also prepared in advance, and Yu Xing was relieved to see that Rong Chun's pitching had not become weak because of the rest of the past few days.

"Rong Chun, I'm very much looking forward to tomorrow!"

Rong Chun, who had just returned to the dormitory, saw the message sent to him by Tianjiu Guangsheng, and replied seriously word by word,

"Me too, Tianjiu, we both have to work hard tomorrow!"

Cangchi looked at Rong Chun's appearance and knew that he was chatting with Tianjiu Guangsheng, and said with some unhappiness,

"It's so late, let's talk, go to bed early, there's a tough battle to fight tomorrow."

"Yes!"

"By the way, Sawamura, has your phone been repaired?"

Kuramochi thought of the situation that his mobile phone couldn't get through before, and Rong Chun was a little distressed when he mentioned this matter,

"I went to the repair shop, but people said that this machine is a bit old after all, and it is not cost-effective to repair, so it is better to buy a new one.

But my family sent me to Qingdao to go to school a lot, although there will be a partial reduction in special admissions, but it is really not as good as when I was homeschooled. ”

Kuramochi also thinks so, his family is not very rich, and his mother is just an ordinary company employee.

Even if Qingdao exempts himself from expenses, his expenses are still the larger part of the family.

"That's right, mobile phones are also a luxury, but wasn't your mobile phone eliminated by your father?"

"yes, although they said it would be good to buy me a new one, but we are so busy with training that we don't have time to use our phones, as long as we can text and call."

Rong Chun shrugged his shoulders, except for being a little obsessed with baseball, he didn't care much about other things, otherwise he wouldn't have saved an objective pocket money every year.

"Ahh I remember.."

Rong Chun's startled appearance frightened Kurachi,

"New Year's money! The New Year's money received during the New Year, plus the money saved before, seems to be about the same. ”

Rong Chun said excitedly, he couldn't believe it,

"Isn't it, do you have so much money for the New Year?"

A new mobile phone costs at least 25,000 yen, can Eijun come up with such a large sum of money as a student?

As he spoke, Rong Chun opened his cabinet, took out a bag from it, and sat on his bed with the warehouse holder to count the money.

"Five thousand .... Here's 5,000 yen, where are you? ”

"I'm about 7,000 yen, but it's a little more."

Kuramochi glanced at the banknotes in his hand and in Eijun's hand, but he didn't expect that there were already more than 13,000 yen just for pocket money.

"Then I'll open these New Year's money and take a look!"

Rong Chun handed the money in his hand to Cangzhi, and then put the red envelopes he received together and opened them one by one.

"This is.... Eight thousand yen, this one is also eight thousand yen."

"The New Year's money given by your family in Sawamura is a good standard."

Kuramochi looked at the New Year's money after Rong Chun's red envelope was opened, and silently calculated that according to the general quantitative standard for New Year's money in Japan, it is the child's age / 2*1000 yen.

"But then again, you have too many red envelopes!"

Cangzhi looked at the three red envelopes that Rong Chun had already split, and there were about eight or nine red envelopes left on the bed.

Well, you don't need to open the rest of the red envelopes, and now you can buy a new mobile phone.

"Well, in addition to the three red envelopes given by my family, my grandfather's family gave me one, my uncle's family gave me one, and my teacher also gave me one, and my friend's parents gave me it...."

"Stop, stop, don't talk about it."

Cangzhi covered his heart and called an emergency stop, as a warehouse owner with few relatives and friends, it is really rare to see so many red envelopes, and this warehouse is really a little envious and jealous.

"Don't forget it, you kid can definitely buy a new phone, besides that, you're still a rich man, damn it...."

"Why are you so angry!"

"Shut up, Sawamura, I don't want to hear it, and I have a drink tomorrow morning!!"

"Oh~~~"

Rong Chun looked at him a little strangely, and ran back to his bed angrily for some reason, covering his eyes with the quilt closed, looking like he was asleep.

But he didn't dwell on it for long, just knowing that he had money to buy a new phone,

"But I have to tell my mom, let's text tomorrow after the game!"

Rong Chun tidied up the somewhat messy bed, stuffed the money into the previous bag, put it back in place, and fell asleep contentedly.

On April 12th, at half past nine in the morning, Qingdao and the junior high school players met outside the stadium, and each stopped their own aces who wanted to go over to communicate.

After both captains nodded slightly, they led the team to the inside of the venue.

"Please hand in the order of the sticks."

After receiving the form, the referee looked at the two captains and asked them to guess the punch to decide which side of the attack.

"Let's attack first, please advise!"

After looking at his victory, Miyuki said to the referee,

"Qingdao High School will attack first, and it's no problem for the third high school in the city to attack later!"

"Yes!" *2

"Shake hands, then!"

After the news reached the rest area, Tahara Toshihiko, the supervisor of the third high school of the city university, said in surprise,

"What, the other party strikes first?"

"Who is in the starting lineup?"

"The first one is Gu Xiao, not Rong Chun..."

Tianjiu glanced at the player's stick schedule and was a little unacceptable,

"How could it not be him!"

"Okay, Guangsheng, don't read it anymore, Qingdao itself is a team that likes to follow-up, and the opponent's trump card will play sooner or later."

"Yes, I will help you beat down Gu Xiao as soon as possible, just wait patiently."

Since Qingdao and the city junior high school have been qualified, Tianjiu Guangsheng has been chanting about Rong Chun in front of the city junior contestants, Rong Chun doesn't pull or pull...

It's about to grind the ears of the junior players of the city university to the point that their ears are calloused, and now the players of the third year of the city college think of Qingdao for the first time they are the ace of Qingdao called Rong Chun.

"Wowha, in great shape!"

Rong Chun, who had made several test throws in the cowshed, felt the wonderful touch of his shoulders and fingertips, and couldn't help but shout excitedly.

"It's so loud today!"

"It's really Sawamura-senpai...."

"Hahaha, this preparation momentum is like a starting pitcher, it's really worthy of Senior Sawamura! ~”

After a short practice, the match officially began, and the old rivals in the West Division, the old opponents in the West Division, could see from the packed stands.

This match can be said to be a sentinel battle in the summer league, which team will win.

"Salute!"

"Please advise!"

The game kicked off, and the spectators in the stands were inexplicably nervous.

"Both teams don't seem to have saved their strength, although Qingdao is playing on the valley, but this is also the characteristic of Qingdao's opening."

"If they can win this game, it means that they are getting closer and closer to qualifying for the Kanto tournament, considering that no one wants to show weakness in the summer league."

"The third year of the city university and Qingdao met in the quarterfinals, which is really a bit of a surprise."

"In the first half of the first game, Qingdao High School attacked, the first bat, and the shortstop held it."

When the announcer read Kuramochi's name, he was already walking towards the strike zone, and the stands began to sing Kuramochi's cheering song in due time.

Rong Chun, who was obviously practicing casting in the cowshed, also wanted to interject, closed his eyes, waved his arms, and sang affectionately and seriously,

"Running towards glory..... Get on that train...."

Miyuki smiled at Kuramochi's back as he left, thinking about the deployment they had made earlier.

"What, did you win the guessing boxing?"

"You're late, aren't you?"

"It's so rare!"

In addition to myself, the other teammates were a little surprised to see that Yu Xing actually won the guess boxing, and Yu Xing said helplessly,

"It's too much!"

After the ridiculous words were finished, Yu Xing also got to the point, and said seriously,

"You know what it means to strike first! Tian Jiu is by no means a pitcher who starts well. I hope that in the first game, I can find a way to capture Tianjiu and use it to support the valley. ”

Since the captain is so serious about requesting, as his teammate, he naturally has to do it, and Kuramochi came to the strike zone with a rare serious face.

Before Amakushi came on the court, his teammates and supervisors repeatedly emphasized the danger of Kurachi, and Tenhisa, who played against Kuramochi for the first time, only had the impression of the idea of being simply fast.

He's really a fast guy.... But not that great hitter! ’

Thinking like this, Amaku threw the first shot towards Kurachi.

Kuramochi calmly watched the speeding baseball and hit the baseball steadily and accurately.

At that moment, Kuramochi seemed to see the disbelief on Amya's face, and he didn't think about it, he just dropped his bat and sprinted towards the base.

stepped on the second base bag in a handsome posture, that understatement look, a little hateful, but I have to say that the handsome explosion!

"A blow that flew over the heads of the midfielders! Qingdao scored his first second base! ”

The Ochiai overseer, who was sitting on the rest chair, looked at Kuramochi after going to the base and touched his beard,

Sure enough, the most important thing is that this person has to get to the base! ’

"Kuramochi's seniors are handsome, worthy of a cheetah, although they are very thin, they are muscular!"

Rong Chun began to use his unique cheering words to support his teammates again, but everyone didn't really want to be animals!

After Kuramochi stood on second base, Superintendent Kataoka made a code to Kominato Haruichi with two sticks, and after receiving the order, Kominato Haruichi nodded beautifully.

Even Rong Chun had to admit that the blow just now was very beautiful.

Kuramochi stood on third base, and at this time it was the turn of the center line of the Qingdao Road, and the silent but very reliable man stood in the strike zone.

The little eyes stared at Tianjiu seriously, and Tianjiu, who was pushed to third base so easily, was also a little unhappy at the moment.

In the tense pitching phase, Hakushu carefully distinguishes the good and the bad, and constantly pulls the favorable aspects of the ball count towards himself.

"Bad ball!"

"You can see it clearly, Hakushu."

"Yo Xi, this is one good and three bad, the ball selection is very careful!!"

'Damn, the ball is deflected... There's no way to control it. ’

Tianjiu is worried about his own ball control, and the catcher on the home plate side Takami Akito also glanced at Hakushu solemnly,

He calmly let go of the ball just now.... What kind of ball are you aiming for? ’

Baizhou, who has few facial expressions, has become more and more aggressive recently, and his immovable temperament makes the catcher always can't help but pay too much attention to him.

"Seeing the batsman casually let go of the first straight ball, the shooting team probably started to wonder, 'What kind of ball is the opponent going to shoot?'"

Feng Fujio, who was standing in the audience, saw at a glance the current entanglement of the three high-pitchers of the city university.

'When the opponent's opening possession is still unstable, let the opponent become vigilant, invisibly shake them, and it will be difficult to pitch for a long time. ’

Just as Feng Fujifu thought, against the three batters, Tianjiu threw a four-bad escort,

Even in this situation, Hakushu's expression still hasn't changed, and his face can't be seen in this way, which makes Tianjiu even more angry.

"It's hard to shoot, it's hard to shoot, this is our Qingdao line, although the current scoring rate seems to be inferior to yours, but it's also quite difficult." ’

Rong Chun looked at Tianjiu proudly and proudly, because it was an opponent, so Rong Chun couldn't always show off his teammates, and he couldn't bear to have no publicity until now, Rong Chun really suppressed a lot of desire.

"It's because of these players that this team is strong."

Feng Fujifu said with emotion, he has been a reporter for so long, and he can be regarded as witnessing the rise and fall of many schools, and Qingdao is also the one he feels the most.

In the good situation of the first and third bases, the third high school of the city ushered in the fourth --- of the Qingdao Road.

After Miyuki came on the court, the Ichidai Mitsugao quickly adjusted their guards, and the outfield players all chose to retreat, after all, Miyuki is a strong hitter, and this perception is still very famous in Nishitokyo.

In addition, the players in the infield cooperated with the shooting and chose the middle defense of the target double kill.

In the face of Tianjiu's very tricky outside corner kick, Miyuki didn't swing the bat, but just calmly let go of the ball.

"Good shot!"

'Missed the first goal this time, too?' Qingdao didn't swing the stick actively except for a stick, although the ball path was a little tricky. ’

The catcher carefully checked the position of the two runners. I found that they were not close to the bases, as if they would rush ahead at the first opportunity.

The second ball is a slide in the inside corner, Miyuki has not swung a bat, and the first time he saw a skate in the sky, although it was not in his heyday, it was already very amazing.

The Qingdao beater who did not move, little by little, put the pressure on the third year of the city to capture, and the catcher Takami Akito's brain was now spinning wildly, thinking of various countermeasures.

'Still no movement?' Then throw one more shot...'

'Takami, don't panic! Concentrate on the batters, as long as you can stop their attack now, they will be the ones who will be hit. ’

Tianjiu, who was still calm, comforted his own somewhat panicked catcher, and glanced at Rong Chun, who was practicing throwing, and his expression eased a little.

"Bang!"

"Bad ball!"

Miyuki heard the referee's voice and exhaled softly,

'It's so dangerous.... Actually throwing a curveball at this time...., in the previous game, they also cleverly used the curveball to deflect the opponent.

If the ball goes into the ball, then the pitcher's straight and slippery balls will be much more powerful, and if we want to swing the bat, we can do it now, before he develops to the point where we can't deal with it.....

"Phew!"
