(Continued)

The second day of the third round was postponed by another day due to rain.

The time has come to August 24th, and Koshien has closed at this time in previous years, but this year, even the quarterfinals have not been fully decided, but I am afraid that the autumn tournament in some regions will have to be postponed.

Many people are speculating whether this year will have to drag on until September. After all, Chengfeng High School is fighting at home, and the situation is not bad, but the remaining expeditionary teams are purely suffering.

- So is this rain really what I expected? How is this possible? How many people are suffering from this rain! It's true that I haven't thought about a way out of the future. Maybe a lot of people expect me to become a professional player, and Daisuke expects the same thing. If I were still alive, I am afraid that I would have chosen this path, and I would probably have chosen this path without thinking. But the instrument is no longer there, and even if I embark on this path, there will be no one to lead me in front of me......

On that day, Shiiichi said in front of his father that he wanted to fulfill his dream of replacing the device. He had always been very firm in this ideal, until that dream, when he said something like that to him......

Thinking of this, Shiichi couldn't help but cover his elbows - there was nothing wrong with it.

When he secretly went to the clinic for an examination, the doctor also said that there was no major problem. However, he would not lie to him, nor would he play such a joke on him. It doesn't matter if it's a ghost or just an illusion he created.

INTERVIEWER Do I really have to pay the price of not being able to play baseball again for this championship? Do I really have to give up this championship in order to continue playing in the future?

Perhaps choosing means giving up, giving up another for the sake of one possibility. When faced with a choice, he is so indecisive that even if he makes up his mind, he will soon be shaken......

He stared blankly at the gray sky, letting the rain hit his face. No matter how much he resisted the choice, the rain would stop one day, Koshien would close, and the day of his retirement would come, and he would have to move on at that time......

On August 25, the rain did not stop until noon, and the first two games could only be played in the afternoon.

The first is the game between Genkaze International School Park and Naruto Kaiko High School.,All the members of the Chengfeng department tuned in to watch this game.。

"Xuanfeng International, if you enter Koshien for the first time, you can enter the top 16, which is enough, but I guess that's the end of it, right?" Kitwon Province.

"If you can fight so far, you must have the strength, maybe there will be a wave of goodbye scripts to win the game, right?" Nishizaki Road.

"But...... Today, Xuanfeng International is the first to attack." Outer Pavilion Road.

Everyone speculated about the outcome of the game, but the game went in a direction that they all expected.

Xuanfeng International, which attacked first, took the lead in the first game and scored 1 point, and the subsequent game seemed to be normal, and Xuanfeng International scored another 1 point in the first half of the 3rd game. It wasn't until the end of the 5th innings that the score was 3-0, and someone finally realized that something was wrong.

"Hey...... The Naruto Strait doesn't seem to have hit a hit......" Akaya exclaimed.

"That's what you say...... It seems to be true!" Outer Pavilion Road.

"Not only that, but no one has been on the base in the Naruto Strait yet! I say...... Isn't it really a full game?" Uchimura Road.

"Real and fake ......" Kitahara Province.

However, the game really went in a thrilling direction.

【Contest over!】 5-0, Xuanfeng International's ace Shiratori reached the complete game! 】

"I didn't expect it to be a complete game...... Uchimura sighed.

"Hey, look at the scoreboard!" Akaya exclaimed, "What the hell is going on?"

I saw that the score of the nine games of Xuanfeng International showed 101010101, with 1 point each for odd-numbered games and no points for even-numbered games, and 1 and 0 were arranged on the scoreboard like binary codes.

"They can't have made this score like this on purpose...... "Kitahara said coldly.

"Coincidence...... Otherwise, control

How terrifying the ability to play is......" Nishizaki smiled.

"I really didn't pay attention to this team before...... But I don't think you're surprised at all," Blaze said to Shinichi, "Shouldn't you have been following this team a long time ago?"

Shiichi couldn't help but sigh and said, "Finally, you still can't hide it? Yes, the coach decided that Xuanfeng International was the most powerful opponent at the beginning of the fight, but he kept it from everyone in order not to be affected by the heart! How's that, are you scared?"

"Whereever!" Akaya said, "Isn't that just right? If Koshien doesn't have a tougher opponent than Akashi Chaofeng, even if you win the championship, you won't be able to do enough!"

"Oh, I was trembling with fear just now, and I can still say such ambitious things now......" Agni laughed.

"Whereever!" Chiya shouted.

"However, it is really worthy of the team led by Coach Mitobe, and in just a few years, an unknown school has become such a power......house," Mogami sighed.

"Coach Mitobe? Is it dark in Mitobe? Genkaze International's coach is that Mitobe Night?" Agni exclaimed.

"Do you know now?" Mogami sighed, "Why don't you read the newspaper or the news!"

"It's true that their coach is Mitobe, and we didn't know it now, so we really shouldn't ...... if we didn't pay enough attention," Kitahara Michi.

"After all, it's Coach Hisakabe's former partner...... Nishizaki said, "Sure enough, were we confused by the score that was like a warm bath?"

"It's good that I'm not in the same half as them, so I really don't know what to do if we meet in the quarterfinals......" Uchimura said with a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, since their coach is Mitobu, then our Hisakabu coach won't lose to him!" Shikichi said, "Trust the coach! No matter what kind of opponent we are, he will lead us to victory!"
