After singing the school song, the Seido runners went to the audience where their supporters and supporters were and bowed in thanks, while the Chikuro Wakayama players bowed and apologized to their supporters and supporters.

After all of the above, both competitors left the field and returned to their rest areas to begin their post-race stretching.

"Kuraza, you must have injured your right shoulder when you were hit just now, right? You can't fight like this anymore. Yagami and Chris followed on either side of Kuraza Naoya, and it was then that he finally understood why he had said that Kuraza was still the same as before, that he was a person who was desperate to get outs.

"If you mess around..."Yagami glanced at Chris next to him out of the corner of his eye when he said this, "Just one out, go and do your best, if you let your baseball career come to an end, you will definitely regret it." ”

Based on today's situation, even if Kuraza Naoya suffered an injury that required more than half a year of recuperation when he was in the third grade of junior high school, he would not have even sent an invitation to him from a prestigious private school in Kanagawa. After doing it for a long time, it turned out that the biggest reason was that he was often injured, which caused those private schools to not want to send an invitation to a catcher who could not be active in the selection for a long time.

If it weren't for Takashima's invitation, he would have had to go to public school for high school, and his baseball career would have been bleak.

"The sooner the garrison ends, the better, and the longer the attack lasts, the better." Kuraza Naoya turned around and stood still, staring at the Yagami senior in front of him with his bright eyes, and said unceremoniously: "Senior, this is my philosophy as a catcher to guide the whole team on the court!" ”

"Hehehe..."Yagami Ye showed a fierce expression in his opinion: "Kuraza, are you taking the opportunity to teach the senior again?" ”

"No, I'm just showing my thoughts." When he said this, Kuraza Naoya gave people a very casual feeling.

The kid from Kuroza usually gives people the impression that he respects the seniors very much, and he is two completely different people in the same grade in terms of personality, but once it comes to baseball, under his passion for baseball, he will become no big or small when he speaks to the seniors, and sometimes he will find opportunities to teach the seniors a lesson, so that the second and third graders will often be led by his serious attitude.

"Even so, is it necessary for you to risk your injury to take the throw-in that killed Ryuta?"

"Even if the state of the senior of Jinguji has deteriorated, in the case of two good balls and two bad balls, it will not be too difficult to knock out Ryuda with strikeouts......"

"What's more, you can also let him knock out a short fight or roll the earth, and then Senior Fukuda and Senior Dong in the back will solve him together!"

Faced with a series of questions from the Yathemi senior, Kuraza Naoya chose to ignore it and walked to the side to talk to Chris's senior.

"Ah......" Yagami Ye grabbed his hair with his hand after being ignored by his junior, and then roared: "You, you must teach this kid a good lesson." ”

……

"Kuraza, is there something wrong with your right shoulder?"

"Hmm!" When questioned by the overseer, Kuroza replied truthfully that he didn't hide his injuries like Chris, even though his expression didn't look hurt at all.

"Superintendent Kataoka, let me take Kuraza-san's to the hospital." From the stands, he came to the inside of the rest area, and waited for the medical staff of the stadium

He said after a brief examination of Kuroza.

"I'll call a taxi." Minister Ota, who was next to him, took over the conversation and said.

"I'm sorry for you."

At the same time, the medical staff standing next to him looked at Naoya Kuruza, who was sitting on the bench with no expression, and looked very surprised in his heart.

"This kid may have broken his right collarbone, but because he was focused on the game, he still looked like he was not injured at all from the end of the game to the present, so he had a strong concentration."

"That's amazing willpower! Unbelievable. ”

Miyukiichi also walked to the left hand side of Kuraza Naoya and helped him up: "Then I'll take this guy away." ”

"I don't need your help, I can go by myself." Kuroza Naoya shook his left hand, and he didn't want Yukiichi to support him at all, "Even if I want someone to help me, I want Chris senior to ......"

"Hurry up!" Yagami, who held a grudge against what had just happened, seized the opportunity and shouted, "What a handsome play, stupid! ”

"You've really messed up!" Because Higashi Kiyokuni needs to stay and accept adoption as the captain, Daiki Murasuke, as the vice-captain, can only walk to the right hand side of Kuraza Naoya instead of the captain, follow Miss Takashima Rei, and take him to the hospital alone with Miyuki Kazuya.

"Buzz-buzz-buzz-"

As soon as they left, the air raid sirens sounded again over the court, and the Qingdao people who had already sorted out the items they had brought over got up and walked out of the rest area.

"Salute!"

Everyone lined up outside the rest area, reached out and took off their caps, and bowed in the direction of the ball (game) field: "Thank you for your advice." ”

After putting on the cap again, the Qingdao people lined up and walked into the exit passage one after another. At the same time, in the rest area opposite, the players of Chikuro Wakayama were already lined up, and they would enter the exit passage after crying, their eyes were red.

After Superintendent Kataoka, Higashi Kiyokuni, and Jinguji were left behind for an interview with reporters, Minister Ota led the rest of the people out of the Meiji Jingu Stadium and, amid the cheers and cheers of supporters, boarded the school bus and returned to the hotel where they were staying.

……

At 4:20 p.m., Yagami and Chris were jogging on the way from the hotel to the middle school venue they had rented, and the two people who didn't play today were going to the venue rented by Takashima to have a good time.

"It's hot, damn it!" Yagami was sweating and panting, "No matter how you grind, Kuraza's injury has too much impact on himself......"

"I didn't expect him to really break his right collarbone when he received the throw-in, and he actually didn't notice it because he was too focused on the game, so strong willpower and concentration...... "He admired that annoying kid a little."

"He did really well enough to support the morale of the team that was cornered...... But it takes three months to heal, which is too costly! ”。

"Hmm!" When Chris spoke highly of Kuraza, Yagami nodded in agreement.

Kuroza Naoya is undoubtedly a catcher very similar to Takigawa Chris Yu, the disadvantage is that he can work harder than Chris for the number of outs, and the advantage is that he doesn't like to hide his injuries like Chris. If he hadn't had that merit, he would have said goodbye to his career early, and he wouldn't have played baseball with Chris.
