After saying goodbye to Chris and Tamba, Yagami leaves the school with his belongings and walks back home.

"Mizushima-kun."

Yagami happened to meet Mizushima-senpai's younger brother halfway through.,Hikaru Mizushima, who also finished club practice.。

"Hello senior!"

The two of them learned after a closer chat that they both lived on the same street, albeit a little far from each other.

"Senior Yagami, why did Yuzo say that I ...... People are not as good as their name? ”

Mizushima Ryo was a little puzzled, and asked the Yagami senior next to him.

Are people as good as their names?

Yagami thought about it and understood, why did that guy say that? Because that guy is a fan and crush of Mizushima-senpai, it's understandable that Aiya and Wuxia have different expectations for her brother.

"Well, I know a little bit about this......" Yagami smiled and told Mizushima Ryo that Ryo Yusa was a fan of Mizushima-senpai.

Time flies, Yagami and Ryo Mizushima wave goodbye at the intersection of the street, and then walk back to their house in different directions.

……

At 7 a.m. on April 30, the training ground was crowded with baseball club members who got up early and practiced in the morning.

"The seniors are really working hard!" Aso, a first-year freshman who came to the training ground with a bat, looked at the second- and third-year seniors who had occupied many training venues, and couldn't help but sigh.

"A few people in the same grade as us also practiced fiercely." Guan Zhidao next to him took over the conversation and said, "We should also work harder." ”

"But it's not handsome at all." Aso didn't want to devote all his free time to baseball, and he had already set a goal before entering high school, which was to have a sweet love in high school.

"But if you want to join the first army, you have to work hard!" Guan Zhidao still knows his friends well, although he often says some handsome words, but in his heart he really likes baseball.

"Ahh I'm bored, let's go swing the bat. After Aso finished speaking, he didn't wait for Guan Naodao's reply, and directly found a place with few people and began to practice swinging the stick.

Guan Zhidao followed him with a bat and practiced swinging the bat, and they successfully integrated into the group of baseball club members who were doing morning exercises.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, everyone finished their morning training one after another and began to walk to the cafeteria together for breakfast.

The whiteboard in the cafeteria reads "The First Army will assemble and set off at 10:15 a.m.", and everyone in Qingdao is planning their time in their hearts after reading it, and they have to go back to the dormitory to change their clothes and get things after they have breakfast to go to the game or watch the game. Players in the second and third armies who are not ready to watch the game can stay and continue to practice by themselves.

When the first team of the Qingdao Baseball Club arrived at the stadium, they found that there were many fewer people watching the game than in the previous semi-finals. After all, the two teams in today's game will be selected for the Spring Kanto Convention regardless of whether they win or lose, and Seimchi, who has reached the semifinals of Koshien Spring, has already won a place in the Spring Kanto Convention.

Whether or not they can win the championship at the Tokyo Metropolitan University Colloquer Tournament in the spring is rarely a matter of concern to the baseball giants, resulting in them generally not letting the main team play the whole game, but more of a substitute player on the court to give them a chance to play.

The reporters who came to routinely record the game were not very enthusiastic, and after greeting each other and fiddling with the cameras, they gathered together and waited for the game to begin.

On both sides of the field, the two superintendents of Qingdao and the three major cities of Qingdao were in a similar mood, and after a simple arrangement, they let the players warm up at the edge of the field.

"We'll strike first." Dong Qingguo returned to the rest area after guessing the punch, and told the superintendent Kataoka the result, and the superintendent didn't say anything after listening, just nodded and said he knew.

Yagami was pitching at the cowshed next to the rest area to warm up, and he didn't know how many rounds he could throw at most today, so he turned his head to look at the cowshed on the other side of the arena in the rest area of the junior city, as if the pitcher who was warming up was really good.

After practicing for a while, the staff came over to inform that the game was about to start, and everyone lined up in Qingdao, and rushed to the field together with the order of the captain Dong Qingguo; After the Seongchi and the three city players stood in a row and bowed to each other, the three city guards stayed, and the Seongdo people left the field and returned to the rest area.

Manaka wanted to stand on the pitcher's mound, stepped on the ground under his feet, and after making preparations, he took the baseball passed by the catcher Senior Ikeinaga, bent down and picked up the magnesium powder bag and turned it in his right hand, and then threw it behind him, got up and took out the baseball from the ball sleeve, and threw the baseball in his hand according to the request of Senior Ikeinaga.

After the two threw a few balls back and forth like this, the referee signaled that the game was about to start, and Ji Yong Shuhei got up and passed the ball to Manaka, squatted down and made a good code, and opened the ball cover to wait for Manaka's pitch.

Taro Fukuda, the first batter of Qingdao, has also stood in the batting area, holding up the bat and waiting for the strike.

"Hum—"

At 12 o'clock in the afternoon, as the air defense sirens sounded on time, Manaka wanted to step out of his left leg, twist his waist, and wave his arm to throw the baseball in his hand.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Bang!"

The baseball that Manaka was about to throw with his arm was successfully dodged the metal bat swung by Taro Fukuda in the home base area, and swooped into the ball sleeve of the catcher Shuhei Ikenaga in the rear.

“Strike.“

Shuhei Ikenaga took out the baseball from the ball cover, got up and threw it back to Manaka, and after squatting again, he gave him a new code.

Taro Fukuda, the batter who missed the swing, felt the strength of Manaka's pitch, stood up again in the batting area, raised the bat, and did not hesitate to swing the metal bat in his hand as he watched the baseball speed over the pitcher's mound again.

"Whew!"

"Ping!"

What a heavy ball!

Taro Fukuda pushed the bat out with all his might, sweeping the baseball that was speeding from the pitcher's mound to the sideline of first base.

Taro Fukuda moved the wrists of both hands before regaining his grip on the bat and waiting for the blow.

"Whew!"

Manaka threw the baseball in his palm with another wave of his arm, and the white baseball turned into a white light and flew towards home plate.

"Huh!"

Taro Fukuda followed closely with the metal bat in his hand, which made an exaggerated arc above home plate, causing a sound that pierced the air.

"Bang!"

With a crisp sound, the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound once again dodged the metal bat swept by Taro Fukuda and flew into the open sleeve of catcher Shuhei Ikenaga.

“Strike out.“

"Crisp three-goal strikeout!" The commentator who broadcast on TV said excitedly: "At the beginning of today, Zhenzhongjun, the three major players in the city, went all out as soon as he came on the field, and he threw very well. ”

Manaka had to quickly take the first three outs of the first half of the game and run back to the rest of the bench with the rest of the defenders.

In the second half of the first inning, Yagami Yagami, as the starting pitcher of Qingdao, successfully made the three hitters of the city go up and down three times, ending the first game.

In the next three innings, Manaka's play could no longer be as smooth as the first inning, throwing four bad shots in the second and fourth innings one after another, not to mention the defender on base, and even losing points because the beater knocked out a hit, resulting in the end of the fourth inning, the score of the two sides was 2:1, and Qingdao temporarily took the lead.

In the second half of the fifth inning, Aodo began to change pitchers, and Yu Sakai, a third-year student, came on the pitching court.

After standing on the pitcher's mound, Hiroshi Sakai took a deep breath, held the baseball in his hand, and looked up at Yusuke Murahashi, who was standing on the batting area and was also the city's three aces and right fielder.

"Senior Sakai, don't worry about bold pitching!"

"Cast it for them, and we'll catch it."

"Solve the beaters one by one, don't be in a hurry.".

The defenders behind him were cheering up Sakai Yu, he looked at the code from the catcher Matsuda, nodded vigorously, raised his hand above his head, raised his left leg and stepped forward heavily, twisted his waist, and shook his raised right hand with it, and the baseball in his palm flew out like a white light on the pitcher's mound.

"Whew!"
