Chapter 60: Aftermath
The Seido people lined up to listen to Yokohama finish their school songs, bowed to the audience, and then returned to the rest area to start sorting out the things they had brought, and Keisuke Miyauchi handed the baseball and pitcher case in his hand to Yagami Yagama, and threw the ball at each other like Jinguji and Matsuda, doing a post-game relaxation exercise.
Reporters also gathered around at this time and began to take pictures of the players they were following.
Although Qingdao lost, but the excellent players of Qingdao who have reached the semi-finals have also appeared in everyone's field of vision, Dong Kiyokuni, Murasuke Taiki, Fujii Taka, etc., these third-year students aside, Yagami Night, a second-year student, is also a good seedling worth paying attention to.
These reporters may have liked to see the loser's cry to move themselves to attract readers, and when the reporters who were taking pictures around Yagami Ye found that he didn't seem to want to cry, they turned their heads to photograph the sobbing third-graders on the Seido team who were secretly sobbing under their attention.
After sorting everything out, when the Seido people were about to leave, they met with Yokohama's team members at the exit gate.
As the winning side, Yokohama's Watanabe supervisor led the team to signal to the Seido crowd, and then bowed to the onlookers who were taking pictures one by one, and took the lead in exiting.
The Qingdao people waited quietly on the side, and it was not until everyone on the Yokohama side had already entered the exit passage that they began to bow to the reporters on the side, and then walked into the exit passage.
Although Seido lost the semi-finals against Yokohama, there were not many interviews after the game, especially the teams that had already reached the semi-finals, and they were very concerned about all aspects.
At the request of the reporter, Superintendent Kataoka asked Tokiyokuni and Jinguji to stay.
After a few minutes of interviews with each other, the reporters began to disperse.
When they were leaving, Superintendent Kataoka and the two of them passed through the interview room used by Yokohama, and they could see that there were many more reporters gathered in it to conduct interviews, and the contestants had been interviewed by reporters for much longer than them.
Superintendent Kataoka looked at the people in Yokohama who were surrounded by flashlights and microphones, and then turned around to look at Dongkiyokuni and Jingujiichi who were following him.
Although Dong Qingguo is not crying like he did at the end of the game, he still raises his hand from time to time to wipe his red eyes, and Jinguji is starting to become silent.
When he returns, he may want to have a good talk with Jinguji.
……
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the Qingdao team members came to the dining room on the first floor one after another.
The waiter at the B&B has set up two rows of long tables full of various foods.
Qingdao everyone looked at each other and looked at the other people around them, most of them had red eyes, no one had the heart to speak, and after everyone sat down one after another, no one wanted to move the chopsticks.
Koshien-related programs were still playing on the TV, but no one was interested in watching it, and they all took it as a somewhat noisy background sound.
Superintendent Kataoka looked at the dejected Seido crowd and said, "This is your celebration feast. ”
While everyone in Seido was looking at him, Superintendent Kataoka continued, "Starting from winning the Tokyo Metropolitan Autumn Tournament, and then stepping step by step, I reached the semi-finals of the selection high school wild ball tournament and became the semi-finals, which is the best result in Seido in the past seven years!" You're already so good, you don't need to blame yourself at all, I'm so proud of you! ”
After Inspector Kataoka finished speaking, he picked up the drink on the table and held it high: "Pick up the drink in front of you." ”
After listening to this, the Qingdao people picked up the drink in front of them.
"I salute you, cheers!" Superintendent Kataoka said, tilting his head and finishing the drink from his cup.
"Cheers." The Qingdao people touched each other's cups, and then drank the drinks in the cups.
"You have a good meal, and when you go back to school tomorrow, the principal will also prepare a celebration banquet for you." Superintendent Kataoka said, put down the cup in his hand and left the dining room.
……
After dinner, and then went to the bathroom to take a bath, Yagami returned to his room.
Turn on the TV in the room, sit on the bed and pick up the remote control, Yagami aimlessly changes the TV station to find his favorite TV program.
After turning all the TV stations, he switched back to the TV station that was broadcasting the post-match interview of Seido, threw away the remote control, and lay down on the bed.
In the show, Dong Qingguo had tears in the corners of his eyes, and said intermittently: "Everyone chose to entrust me with the responsibility of the captain because of trust...... I really...... I want to win the ticket to the finals for everyone......"
Yagami adjusted his posture to allow himself to lie down better.
At this time, the picture in the show changed to the interview content of Jingu Teraichi, and I saw his eyes red and said: "As the ace who led the team to victory, I failed to suppress the opponent to the end when I should have suppressed the opponent, and made a mistake that should not be made...... I'm sorry I ruined my teammates' efforts......"
Speaking of this, Jinguji bent down ninety degrees to the camera and bowed: "Really, I'm very sorry!" ”
Yagami sat up abruptly, covered his face with his hands and rubbed it vigorously, turned off the TV, and left the room.
Yagami went down to the first floor and saw someone in the courtyard swinging a stick to practice.
"Yuuki ......" Yagami walked to the place where Tetsuya Yuuki waved his stick, and when he saw the red eyes of the other party, he didn't know what to say to him for a while.
After Tetsuya Yuuki heard Yagami shouting behind him, he stopped swinging his stick, turned his head to look at Yagami with slightly red eyes, and started swinging his stick again.
The two of them just waved the stick alone, and the other watched each other swing the stick and stood for a long time.
After a long time, Tetsuya Yuki stopped swinging his stick, picked up the towel hanging around his neck and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said to Yagami Ye: "No matter how many points I lose in the future, I will win it back, Yagami, you just have to rest assured and boldly pitch." ”
Yagami was stunned after hearing this, and then said helplessly: "Why are you here to comfort me?" Trying to be a consistent starter in the team isn't that the most important thing for you at the moment? ”
Tetsuya Yuuki looked at Yagami and put up his bat again: "Actually, I don't think you need comfort, in our session, the best personal psychological state is you, I'm just stating my goals in the future." ”。
"In terms of defense, no matter how hard I try, I can't surpass you and Chris, so I'm going to be the most powerful attacker in the team, and no matter what kind of opponent I will encounter in the future, I will try to overcome them."
"Yuuki, seeing that you are usually quiet, I didn't expect you to be quite good at talking." Yagami suddenly found that he knew too little about his classmate Tetsuya Yuuki.
