Reborn In Tokyo After Picking Up Sayu Who Ran Away From Home

Chapter 158: Pitcher

Chapter 158 Pitcher

The training ground after school was crowded.

In addition to those who were originally going to participate in the ministry, there are many other students here today.

The benches that the baseball club usually use to rest and watch training are full.

As for the others who didn’t get their seats, they either stood watching on the edge of the fence at the training ground or sat and watched on the lawn **** outside the fence.

In addition, even the members of the photography department who are usually more interested in girls' groups than boys, appeared here today with long guns and short guns.

The third floor of the teaching building, a room on the west side.

The girl with golden double ponytails is propping her hands by the window, her blue eyes are staring at the direction of the playground, her eyes are slightly ecstatic.

On the easel behind her, there was a half-painted painting, as if waiting for someone to finish it.

However, the owner obviously did not have such a mood at this time. On the contrary, the girl frowned in dissatisfaction as she heard the cheering sound coming from outside.

So he turned on his phone and typed a paragraph into the email.

"Don't lose to that person, take it seriously!"

But after hesitating for a while, she deleted the sentence verbatim, and put away her phone in annoyance, wondering what she was thinking.

"Why do I have to do this kind of thing? It's obviously his own fault." Ying Riri grumbled and scolded an idiot in a low voice.

Back at the training ground, Ishikawa, who had changed into a white baseball uniform, squinted at Kato Yusuke and said.

"I have to say that although I don't like you as a person, it's still worthy of praise for the fact that you can make appointments on time."

After a pause, he continued.

"Of course, even if you don't show up today, the consequences won't be much better. After all, in order to prevent you from running away, I made a special trip to the photography department and promised to give them a chance to interview."

"So if you really do that, the student council elections will be out of the question. Take advantage of this now, because then you will experience despair."

Saying so, Ishikawa spread his five fingers and made a boom gesture to Kato Yusuke.

Facing this scene, the teenager just asked directly: "Compared to those, I just want to know when the game can start?"

Ishikawa said with a smile: "Before that, I want to ask, do you want a one-on-one showdown with me, or do you want to play like an official match?"

After a brief thought, Kato Yusuke looked up at the opponent and said, "I choose the former, but the outcome is not calculated by points, but until the other side voluntarily admits defeat."

"You said no points? Do you really know what you're talking about?" Ishikawa sneered.

Yusuke nodded, "Ah, I know very well."

stared at the face opposite, and there was a chill in the boy's eyes.

Upon seeing this, Ishikawa narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice:

"If that's the case, then so be it. The limit is nine balls. You will be the first to defend, and then we will switch offense and defense until one of them admits defeat. Do you think there is a problem?"

(ps. The reason why it is nine goals is that as long as three thugs are eliminated, this half of the game is considered to be a loss for the attacker.)

Kato Yusuke shook his head and said no.

◇

After a while of preparation, the two quickly stood on the offensive and defensive positions.

Kato Yusuke stood as the pitcher and Ishikawa as the batter in the hitting zone next to the plate.

For the sake of viewing, Ishikawa also specially arranged a fully armed catcher and a referee. The former squatted behind the plate and was responsible for catching the ball, while the latter stood behind the former and was responsible for watching the ball.

When Ishikawa, who was wearing a helmet and holding a bat, took his place, there was a burst of cheers from the field, and many girls were shouting his name to cheer for him.

And he himself waved at the crowd in response.

In comparison, Kato Yusuke, who was standing on the pitch, looked a little shabby.

Not only do they have no special uniforms, but even the baseball gloves they wear are sponsored by Yamaguchi.

A boy in a short-sleeved shirt stood there, his strong forearms extended from the cuffs, and his skin was very fair.

Off the field, Yamaguchi, Takei, Yoshiko, and even the four-member team of the baseball club were all shouting something with their hands beside their mouths in a loudspeaker.

was just so drowned out by his opponent's support that he couldn't hear their voices at all, and he could only tell from his expression that he was cheering for him.

The girl with a single ponytail sat quietly beside Kako, staring at her with black eyes, like an autumn lake.

Further to the side, Kato Yusuke also saw Shi Yu-senpai who he had only met during the lunch break. The other party was looking at him with his arms crossed and his legs crossed.

Occasionally, he would say something to Megumi who was beside him.

After noticing his gaze, Shi Yu smiled and waved.

Kato Yusuke's eyes moved involuntarily, and then he nodded to them as well.

"Come when you're ready." Ishikawa swung his bat around and moved his body.

And the catchers and referees are also ready.

The venue fell silent for a while.

So Yusuke looked back.

Holding the rigid baseball made of cowhide in his handshake, he raised his hand and threw the ball towards home plate while recalling the rules of baseball in his mind.

Ishikawa did not swing.

"Pop!" The ball fell into the catcher's mitt.

A brief silence.

"A bad ball!" the referee shouted.

Thinking of Kato Yusuke's actions just now, Ishikawa couldn't help but laugh.

The opponent's posture is not so much throwing the ball, but simply throwing the ball.

One can tell at a glance that he is a layman.

The baseball coach who came to serve as a referee couldn't help shaking his head.

Although the ball was caught by the catcher just now, it did not pass through the strike zone, but passed the batter’s chest and reached the shoulder position.

So it was judged as a bad ball, and Ishikawa scored one point.

Because the step of running the bases was omitted, the two only calculated the score directly in a crude way. If it is not a foul, Ishikawa will score if you hit, and Yusuke Kato will score if you miss.

There was a burst of cheers from off the field.

"Ishikawa-senpai races high~~!"

"Come on~~!"

The lively level even had the smell of a school festival.

"Hey, I said." Takei pushed Yamaguchi aside, "Is Kato sure it doesn't matter?"

Yamaguchi touched the opponent's leg with his leg a little irritably, and replied that he didn't know.

Even the baseball quartet, who had been quite imposing just now, was a beat lower.

The fan-shaped training ground blew a breeze, with the smell of July.

The boy looked up at the blue sky, and then whispered to himself: "A little bit worse."

Even though he said that, there was no tension on his face, only calmness appeared.

Seeing this scene, the referee behind the catcher nodded secretly.

"Mental quality is not bad." - That person couldn't help thinking.
