"If you win us, you have to keep winning." The captain of the Red Sea Osugata said this to Dong Kiyokuni.

"It's going to keep winning." Dong Qingguo gave an affirmative answer.

"I hope there will be a chance to fight again in the future." Red Sea Osuda four sticks Ishiguro Hayabusa said while holding Jingujiichi's hand.

"There's going to be a chance." Jinguji thought for a moment and nodded.

"Come on, I hope you can lead Seido to win Koshien in the lunar year." Kanemori, the catcher of the Red Sea Osuga, sent his blessing when he shook hands with Chris.

"Thank you." Chris accepted Kinson's kindness.

After the Seido and Red Sea Osugata players shook hands with each other, the Seido players stood in front of home plate and sang the school song of Seido High School in unison.

After singing the school song, the Qingdao people trotted all the way to the bottom of the stands on the Qingdao side, and after standing up, they seriously expressed their gratitude to these support groups who came to cheer for them, as well as their relatives, friends and spectators who have supported them for a long time.

"Everybody's good!"

"Dong, let's take everyone to win!"

"We'll go to Koshien to support you!"

In the stands, many spectators waved their hands and shouted, and their excitement was unmistakable.

As the organizer Mainichi Shimbun staff prepared for the medal ceremony, many reporters gathered around the Seido athletes' bench to interview Kataoka and the athletes they were interested in.

"Excuse me, after six years, you have been selected for the spring Koshien again, how are you feeling now, Superintendent Kataoka?" A group of reporters stuffed microphones and voice recorders in front of Superintendent Kataoka, and cameras were taking pictures in the back.

"I'm so excited right now! There are many strong teams in Tokyo, such as our opponent in this game, Red Sea Osuda, is very strong, and it is not easy to win all the way, it is the players who do all their best to win the game in the end! I am very grateful to them. ”

After the reporter asked Kataoka a few questions, he said that he wanted to interview the Seido players.

Superintendent Kataoka asked Higashi Kiyokuni, who is the captain, and Jinguji, who is the ace of the team, to be interviewed by reporters, but he didn't expect that there were still a few reporters who wanted to interview first-year catcher Chris and pitcher Yagami Yagama, so Superintendent Kataoka had to call the two of them out for an interview with reporters.

"Yagami-kun, as the starting pitcher in this game, how did he feel when facing the strong line of Red Sea Osugada? Did you give it your all? ”

"As a first-year student, I became the team's main catcher in the summer of this year, and I have the opportunity to go to Koshien to show my strength on the national stage in the next year, what are Chris's goals for the future?"

"Jingu Temple-kun, as the trump card of the team, what is there that is not good?"

"Dongjun, as the captain, what is your next goal?"

Considering that the subjects interviewed were all students, the reporter's questions were relatively mild.

After a brief answer to the reporter's question, a member of staff came over to inform them that the award ceremony was about to begin.

The athletes of Seido and Red Sea Osugata lined up and stood at the instructions of the staff, and the announcer's voice came from the broadcast of the arena.

"Now for the award ceremony."

The music sounded, and in the group of Seido, Higashi Kiyokuni, Taro Fukuda, and Daiki Murasuke walked out of the team and stood in front of the rostrum.

The head of the Mainichi Shimbun Tokyo Metropolitan Government stepped up to the podium and read the award certificate, "I am honored as a prize for winning the 2005 (Heisei 17) Autumn Tokyo Metropolitan High School Wild Ball Tournament."

Murasuke Taiki stepped forward to accept the award with both hands and saluted the other party.

Tokiyokoku stepped forward to receive the pennant representing the victory of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government from the person in charge.

Taro Fukuda finally went up to receive the medal, and the three of them bowed to the person in charge together and walked back to the group of Seido to the sound of music.

The rest of the team looked at the pennant in Dong Qingguo's hand, which represented the victory, and felt that their efforts had been rewarded. During the spring break of the lunar year, they can go to Koshien.

After the award ceremony, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Tournament in the autumn officially came to an end.

The Qingdao people walked in the tunnel of the second court of the Yin Zhi Shrine, and most of them would carefully touch the pennant that represented the victory, and the whole thing was a group of baseball fools.

After walking out of the player's tunnel on the second court of Jingu, when the Seido people were about to leave the court, it was inevitable that they would meet again with the players of the Red Sea Osugada.

The captain of the Red Sea Osugata looked at the pennant in Dong Kiyokoku's hand, which represented the victory, and immediately thought that their school had not won the Autumn Tokyo Metropolitan Games for nine years, and this was the closest they had come to winning the Autumn Tokyo Metropolitan Games.

It's just a little bit of the last bit away......

The captain of the Red Sea Osugata suppressed the tears that gradually grew up in his eyes, tugged at the backpack strap on his shoulder, and led the others away quickly.

The rest of the Red Sea Osugata silently followed behind their captain and walked out of Jingu Court 2.

Looking at the scene in front of them, their mood couldn't help but be low, college wild ball is so cruel, whenever someone realizes their dreams, there are other people's dreams that are deprived of them, and they can't continue to chase their dreams on the field. As soon as the Seido people walked out of the second court of the shrine, they were surrounded by fans who supported them.

"Come on, Koshien!"

"Win the Victory!"

"Always support you!"

With the support of the fans, the Qingdao people got on the school bus that had been waiting here for a long time and returned to the Qingdao Road.

……

Back on Qingdao, the army stepped off the school bus and walked into the school building to the principal's office surrounded by the welcome of the principal and dean of students, such as the third-graders who had quit the baseball club.

In the principal's office, the principal opened the glass door of the display cabinet located in the most conspicuous position of the office, and then the principal took the pennant representing the victory from the hands of Dong Qingguo and placed it on the display shelf, and the certificate and medal were placed on both sides of the pennant.

"The competition is so hard, everyone must be hungry! The celebration banquet is ready, let's go over together. ”

After everyone arrived at the cafeteria, the principal gave some words of encouragement to the baseball club members and left with the dean.

"Everyone!" Superintendent Kataoka walked in front of the Seido people.。。

"Today, to have such achievements is the result of everyone's determination to move forward and long-term efforts, and it is the result of your unimaginable efforts!"

Speaking of this, Superintendent Kataoka's eyes turned red, "Not only you, but also the members of the previous sessions, everyone has always believed in and supported me, the superintendent who can't make achievements, thank you very much!" ”
