"I said you ...... What are you doing......" Shikichi said as he slowly stood up.

He didn't speak loudly, but the room fell silent for a moment.

"There's a final tomorrow, right? Don't you want to dominate the country? What do you look like now! Let Dongguo see it, will he be happy! ”

"Nan ......," Captain Nakano whispered, "but Dongguo has already ......"

"yes, he's just asleep and won't wake up anytime soon, so...... So we can't always rely on Him! In the next final, there is Koshien, we have to win on our own and win the national championship! When he wakes up, surprise him! ”

- Strange, weird...... Why should I deceive myself and say these inexplicable words? Am I trying to hide something desperately?

"Nan, I know you're having a hard time right now, but you have to accept the reality," Captain Nakano choked up, "Dongguo won't wake up, he's dead......"

- Death? I understand......

Shiichi already knew about the condition of the device before the summer game, but he chose to hide it and delay the treatment. If you have been well treated at that time, you may still be able to survive, and even if you can't become the team's combat power, you can still exist as the eternal spiritual pillar of the team. But his soft-heartedness made the team lose this spiritual pillar forever.

- Yes, if you agree with what the captain said, it is equivalent to admitting that I killed him, admitting that I am a murderer......

So Shi Yi vigorously denies this fact. Because there is still a dream that has not been realized, at least he wants to help him complete the dream of dominating the country! If you are a murderer, you don't have that qualification!

For what Captain Nakano said just now, Shiichi became angry all of a sudden, and directly grabbed his shirt and shouted, "Is that all you want to say?" Without Dongguo, will you only complain and show weakness? You're the captain of this team! How can you be so spineless! ”

Captain Nakano is so majestic that for a long time Shiiichi had the illusion that others are tall. Now that he looks, he is not as tall as himself.

"Hey, Nan! You're going too far! The deputy captain, Senior Beidalu, hurriedly dissuaded.

"No, Nan-chan is right!" At this time, the coach of Kamibeppu suddenly said, "Although it is a pity that Dongguo's affairs are serious, now is not the time to be sad, there is still a tough battle to fight tomorrow!" Think about what your dreams are! Especially for third-year students, every next game may be the last game of your high school career, if you don't want the last game to come so soon, change your mood quickly and don't leave regrets for yourself! ”

"Even if you all lose your fighting spirit...... Shiiichi continued, "Even if it's just me, I'm going to win the national championship!" ”

At this time, the coach of Kamibeppu took a deep breath, and then said, "Okay, it's not too early, let's all go back and rest...... I'll leave it to Dongguo's parents......"

Apparently she was tired too.

***

On the way home, Shiichi felt like he was being chased by something, and he ran home desperately.

He really couldn't figure out what he was being chased by, but he just felt terrible.

It seemed that something he had forgotten and now seemed to be about to remember, perhaps something he was trying to forget, but the fragments of his memory always flashed in his mind.

***

In the early hours of the next morning, news of his death spread throughout the media, and reports about the cause of his death appeared in the news.

Then,The finals between Chengfeng High School and Akashi Chaofeng School Park were not affected by this emergency.,It's still coming as scheduled.。

Today's game has one more part than ever, and that is the moment of silence. Before the game had even begun, a sad atmosphere enveloped the entire stadium.

"That guy, could you be watching me somewhere?" As soon as he thought about it, tears burst out of his eyes.

- No, I can't cry! I didn't cry all night yesterday, why can't I help it when I get here? I want to show him my determination!

"Hey ......"

Shikiichi came to his senses, the silent ceremony was over, and it was Daisuke who was greeting him just now.

"I've heard about the small device, but ......," Daisuke said, "but we're not going to show mercy......"

"In the first half of the first inning, the attack of Chengfeng High School. 1 bat, right fielder Nam Jun. ”

In this game, Coach Kamibeppu still arranged Shiichi to be 1 bat, so naturally he could not appear as a starting pitcher.

Akashi Chaofu's starting pitcher, Ichinose, has already thrown three balls, and Shikiichi has no action, and the number of balls is two good and one bad.

At this time, Shikichi looked at the sky slightly, wondering where he should be looking at himself.

Ichinose's next ball, Shikiichi swung his bat with all his might without thinking, only to hear a crisp sound, and the ball was knocked out.

[This shot is big, and the flight distance is enough!] Fly out! HOMERUN！ I didn't expect Chengfeng High School's 1 batter south to send a home run at the beginning! What a fantastic start! 】

The home run of "......" was incredible, even Shikiichi himself.

- Isn't this exactly the same as it was back then? Sure enough, you're still guarding me somewhere, aren't you?

For a while, Shikiichi did think so. However, this idea was soon shattered.

Chengfeng's offense after high school was not driven by his home run, and the performance of the defense inning was even worse. Starting pitcher Goto has done his best, but Chengfeng High School is still losing points. After coming back to his senses, after 4 innings, Chengfeng had fallen behind 1-9, and there was nothing to achieve in terms of line except for Shiiyi's home run in the first inning.

- This score will be maintained until the end of 7 innings, is the game ending early? Or drop a few more points and the next game will be over?

I'm afraid that at this time, everyone expects this game to end early and end this purgatory-like torture as soon as possible. However, in the finals, as long as there is no knife rain, the game will not end early, I'm afraid the score will continue to widen, right? Either way, a rout should be inevitable.

- Even so......

"Goto-senpai," Shiiichi shouted, "can you give it to me next?" ”

"Huh?" Goto was surprised.

"Is that okay?" Coach Kamibeppu seemed to hear me and asked, "You're on the field, I'm afraid it's ...... to lose the game."

"It's okay!"

Coach Kamibeppu then agreed to Shikiichi's request.

"I'm sorry to give you this mess......"

- yes, even so, I felt like I had to do something, and if he was there, I would have done the same.

"Everyone!" Shiyi shouted, "The game isn't over yet!" Don't give up so quickly! Anything is possible in a baseball game! With me here, I won't let them continue to score! Let's turn the game around together and head to Koshien again! ”
