EP60 Quarterfinals (B)
(Continued)
"But Ah Zheng is right, I have always been eager to compete with Chengfeng High School, where Dongguo Qi is still there, in the arena of Koshien, but I didn't expect that to happen, and this long-cherished wish has also come to naught......" Warrior Xiaolu sighed and said, "Let's stop here today, let's cheer each other for tomorrow's game......
With that, the warrior Koji settled the bill and left the store with the other two.
However, before that, Shikichi felt that he had something to say to him. He chased after him and shouted at the three who were far away:
"I'll replace Dongguo as your opponent!"
I saw that the martial artist stopped on the path, his head was slightly to the side, and then he waved his hand and said, "Let's win tomorrow's game first!" ”

On August 28, there was scattered light rain in the sky and the quarterfinals went on as usual.
The first match was between Kyoto Dairekaze, where the Fire Palace is located, against Tatsuseisha, where Midoriya is located. This is the second time since the spring tournament that the two sides have faced off.
Kyoto Dairekaze started the game with a 2-point home run from captain and 4 bats Kanedaichi, but soon Taisei relied on consecutive hits from Huang Mu, Kurokawachi, and Midoriya, known as the three stars of Leo, to reverse the score 4-2.
In the middle game, Midoriya hit a home run and scored another 3 points, allowing Rissei to almost seal the victory with a score of 7-2.
In terms of defense, Risseisa's E Akai quickly adjusted his condition after being hit by a home run in the first inning, and his performance after that was almost impeccable, coupled with the wonderful defense between Red Mountain and Blue Plains, made Kyoto Da Lingfeng return again and again in vain.
"Midoriya is really new......" Shikiichi couldn't help but sigh, "This person's striking ability has really improved a lot compared to the last duel, at least it should be on par with Daisuke, and I don't know if my pitch can suppress him." I'm afraid that the Kyoto Great Spirit Wind is more than auspicious this time. ”
On the other hand, after trailing by 5 points, Kyoto Da Lingfeng did not give up the game and finally ushered in a turnaround in the first half of the 9th inning. After one person was out, Akai threw four bad shots in a row due to physical exhaustion, which led to a full-base crisis.
At that moment, Daida Kimura hit a high fly ball in the direction of the right field. Just when everyone thought that everything was going to rest in Kyoto......
[Ahh Missed! Missed! The middle and middle fielder Ziye actually missed the connection at this time! Both third and second base runners took the opportunity to run back to home plate! Kyoto Great Spirit Wind pulled back 2 points, 4-7! The record is a mistake by the fielder! Now the suspense of the game is reborn! At this time, the coach of the Risei Society signaled that the vote had changed! Shirane, a second-year student, replaced the ace Akai! 】
After that, the first ball thrown by Shirane was hit by 4 bats Kanedaichi, and the score became 5-7.
- The game is not until the last moment, and you never know what the final result will be, and it seems that Kyoto Da Lingfeng still has a chance. Error-free updates @
"5 batter pitcher Honomiya-kun."
[One person is out, one or three bases are available, and a home run can reverse the score. The next hitter is the 5-batter Fire Palace, who came on the field today as a follow-up pitch and quickly stabilized the situation to see if he could seize the opportunity......]
"It's a familiar situation...... "At this time, Shiichi suddenly realized something, "Maybe the so-called sense of déjà vu is probably like this." ”
[First and third base runners start at the same time!] The beater is also out of the stick, hit and run! The ball crossed the head of the second game, but the Chinese and foreign fielders Ziye had already stepped forward to fill in the position, could the ball catch up? Ball...... Got it! The hitter is out! Runners turn back urgently! The outfielder hands the ball to the second baseman, and the second baseman passes the first base! The verdict is ...... out! Double Kill! The game is over! 7-5, Ritseisha advanced to the semifinals! It's a pity that the Kyoto Great Reiki was a little unlucky at the last moment! 】
The final result is really a repetition of that scene for Shikiyi......
Fire Palace is the ace of the second year of Kyoto's Great Reifu, and when Shikiki sees his blank face, it seems that he has seen himself two years ago. is also the quarterfinals of Koshien, the same situation where one person is out of the game and is 2 points behind, and the same double kill buries the opportunity that the seniors have created with great difficulty.
[According to the results of the draw, the winner of this game fell to the second semi-finals, and their opponents still need to be decided according to the results of the draw after the last three games......]
。
"Coach, I'm sorry, I know it's a bit willful to ask you for leave at this time, but ......," "But if I don't deal with some things now, I will be unable to get over it!" ”
"You're not @ starting pitcher today, if you can go and get back quickly, I'll take you as a warm-up for 1." The coach of the lower part of the sun seems to understand the authenticity.
"Thank you, Coach!"
INTERVIEWER There's one thing I need to do before the next game......
***
Shikiichi came to the bus stop of the Kyoto Great Spirit Wind and waited for their arrival. Soon, they came out, and Shikichi also felt the solemn atmosphere.
At this time, Huo Gong, like the other team members, was holding a bag of soil in his hand, but his expression was unexpectedly calm.
"Fire Palace...... Monarch? ”
After hearing Shiyi's voice, he only heard a snap, and the bag of soil held by the Fire Palace fell to the ground.
"You're a Nanshiyi from Chengfeng High School, why are you here?" Captain Kanedaichi asked.
"It's just a passing by here by chance......" Shiichi replied softly, "It's a pity, it's just a little bit ......"
"Huh? Isn't it your game right away? How can you still care about us? Kanedaichi said with a crying voice.
"Nan-san!" At this time, Coach Tumen got out of the car, "Do you have anything you want to say to Huomiya-san alone?" ”qs
Shi Yi nodded.
"Alright then, just wait for you in five minutes, it's your game soon, and we're going back to the hotel to check out......"
After saying that, Coach Tumen and the other team members got into the car, and only Shikiichi and Huogong were still outside.
At this time, Shiichi noticed that Huogong hadn't picked up the bag that had fallen on the ground, so he helped him pick it up.
- It's so heavy......
Even though the bag was about the same size, Shikiichi felt that the soil in the bag was much heavier than the soil he had dug up two years ago.
"Thank you......" Fire Palace said, taking the soil.
"It's a pity, Ash, I can't compete with you again......"
Tomo Homiya's Chi is pronounced satoshi in Japanese, and like the protagonist of Pokémon, Shikiichi wanted to call him that way several times before, but it wasn't until this meeting that he was called that for the first time.
"Yes, it's all my fault for burying the great opportunity......" said the Fire Palace, and finally couldn't help sobbing.
"You threw well, without you, I'm afraid you'll lose more points, and as for that stick, you can only blame them for keeping it too well, so don't just blame yourself......" Shikiichi said. @·error-free start~~
"Thank you, senior, just ...... Senior, why did you come to tell me this? We're not teammates......" asked Fire Palace.
"Well, I'm also a person from here...... "Blindly blaming yourself will only make you stagnate, so let's try it again next year!" ”
- It's a little strange that I'm still in a state of stagnation, and at the moment I have to persuade others to look forward. Maybe...... I saw my own growth trajectory from his body and came to him on purpose.,After talking to my past self.,I finally feel that I have the strength to continue walking.。。
