"Well...... "If it's real, I can beat that guy up, but if it's just a dream, or a place where only you can go, I'm afraid it's up to you......"

"Yes......" Shikichi sighed with some disappointment.

"But let me say it, whether it's Li Yuan or Brother Dongguo, they may not be evil ghosts or anything, but demons that exist in your heart," Agni said, "Of course, it could be both, so only you can solve this matter yourself." ”

"Demon in the heart......"

"If you want me to say it, I don't think you're wrong at all," Agni continued, "It's normal to be treated so unkindly, to hate him, and if you still flatter him, that's not normal." You had that dream, but you didn't make that dream a reality after all, so why should you consider it your sin? Also, haven't you already been redeemed? Why even think about going back to hell? ”

- That's true, or I might have quit the baseball club by that time. At the end of the day, it was baseball that saved me, it was my teammates who saved me, and he who kept appearing in my dreams...... So what is it that I'm thinking about now?

【Contest over!】 Chengfeng High School won five games ahead of schedule and advanced to the third round! 】

【Contest over!】 Mofeng High School is a complete victory! 】

【Contest over!】 13-0, Akashi Chaofeng won in five games ahead of schedule! 】

- This team, even if Shi Yi is not on the field, can be regarded as a strong man in the county in terms of strength. However, if you want to enter the country, you really can't rely on your teammates alone, because this year's Mofeng and Akashi Chaofeng are also the strongest in history.

After the third round to the fifth round, Coach Kusakabe only arranged Shikiichi to start in the outfield, or play and run on behalf of him. Although the first-year players were challenged, they resisted and finally advanced to the round of 16 without danger. On the other hand, Akashi Chaofeng and Mofeng also made it to the round of 16 almost bloodlessly.

There were no upsets in this tournament until ......

[Dade School Park vs. Santa Salikchia College,The game went to the bottom of the 9th inning,Dade School Park led 2-1.] Now Santa Salikchia College has 2 people out, and there are people on first and third base! Will 7 baseball captain Shimura take the last chance to attack? 】

"Daitoku is also a frequent visitor to the top 16 in Hyogo Prefecture, and it seems that Santa Salikchia is over here," Agni said, "Senior Shimura has been ranked lower, and he should understand that his striking ability is not very strong, I am afraid that he will hit a high flying ball and be killed next, and become the last hitter." But if you can make it to the fifth round, it's okay......"

"Is that really going to be the case?" Shiyi questioned.

[The ball is out!] However, the ball didn't fly far, and the middle fielders almost stood in place waiting to be killed! Yes! The ball bounced off! The middle fielder missed! By this time, the runner on third base had returned to home plate and was deuced! At this time, the first base runner has also bypassed third base and headed for home plate! The left fielder picked up the ball and passed home plate, but it was too late! 3 to 2, Santa Salicchia goodbye reversal! In the second half of the 9th inning, with this dramatic mistake in the catch, Santa Salikchia advanced to the round of 16! 】

"That's a good script!" Agni smirked.

"I've told you everything, don't set up flags randomly!" Shiyi sighed.

"However, after entering the round of 16, the teams will draw lots again to decide the match, and the coach is so lucky, I believe that he will not run into their ...... all of a sudden"

"Hey, I said, why are you here again......"

After that, the match for the round of 16 came out, and the results confirmed both the luck of Coach Kusakabe and the crow beak of Agni.

"The opponent in the round of 16 is Santa Salicia!" Coach Hisakabe announced, "Guys, don't take it lightly just because you did well! Let's win the prefectural contest in one go! ”

"Isn't that good?" Agni Huo smiled, "Akashi Chaofeng and Mofeng are both in the other half, and it is very likely that there will be a fierce fight in the semi-finals now, if our side successfully advances, we will be able to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman!" ”

"Are you embarrassed? Why is your crow's beak so effective? Shi Yi asked coldly.

"Then thank you for my crow's mouth, it's much better than facing Akashi Chaofeng or Mofeng as soon as you come up!" Agni smiled, "Don't forget, our goal is to dominate the whole country, no matter what opponent we meet, we must defeat it, so don't be so picky!" ”

"What's going on with this Santa Salikia?" Shiyi was puzzled, "I heard that it's because ...... Because of that incident, the baseball club was on the verge of abandonment, and this year it actually broke all the way to the round of 16 and eliminated Dade ......"

"It's quite strange, I took a general look, except for the strange shadow, all of them are fresh faces, it seems that the newcomers have been replenished in the past six months......" Agni said, "But just looking at their performance, I don't feel that there is anything too eye-catching......"

"That's true," at this time, Mogami walked over, "just looking at the performance at both ends of the pitch, it is indeed very ordinary, but the basic skills are very solid, and the number of mistakes in the competition is still 0 so far, it is hard to imagine that these people have just been formed and run in for only half a year...... But the most incredible thing is that the number of mistakes of their opponents in each game is close to 10 on average! ”

"An average of 10 turnovers per game!" Agni exclaimed, "This is a bit too much......

"Even Dade made five goalkeeping errors in that game and buried the whole game......"

"This is really a bit evil...... "Agni said, "Is the monster a demon?" ”

"If you can make it to the round of 16, you will definitely not be a weak team, and Dade is afraid that he will lose because he is too underestimated and has a problem with his mentality," Shiyi said, "We can't underestimate the enemy." ”

"Nan-san's right, so this game will be handed over to you, and their possibility will be blocked!" The coach of the lower part of the sun said suddenly.

"Huh?"

"After the round of 16, you'll be fully resurrected as a pitcher, and we're all looking forward to your pitching! I've actually heard a few things about your holiday with one of the Santa Salikkia players from the coach in Kamibeppu, so shouldn't you use this as an opportunity to overcome the past? ”

- Is it fate to overcome the past, but in the end, it still becomes like this? But......

"Coach, I can understand your intentions, you want me to use this game to let me overcome the psychological barrier and complete the evolutionary ......," Shikiichi said, "But after all, it's a single-elimination format, and we'll be finished if we lose one game, if my performance can't meet your expectations, please replace me immediately!" ”

"I'm so surprised that you can say something with such a big picture, and it's great that Coach Kamibeppu has you as the captain......" Coach Hisakabe laughed, "I'll do it, but I'm more confident that you can do it!" ”
