Sawamura ran all the way, passed second base, and advanced to third base. Although his speed is not as fast as Mima and Kuramochi, he is not slow either.
It's okay to hit third base with this super long.
When Sawamura was about to reach third base, the ball was just passed back to the second baseman Hakuryu who stepped forward to catch the ball.
When the second baseman caught the ball, he made a small mistake and didn't catch it.
Seidou's base running instructor's eyes immediately turned bright.
To Sawamura, who was about to reach third base, he gestured him to continue.
'Continue!'
'Run home plate!'
'Inside-the-park Home run!'
At this moment, Sawamura felt that he was possessed by a 100-horse at the same time, stepped on the third base bag in one step, and flew towards home plate.
"Don't underestimate us!"
Hakuryu's second baseman picked up the ball quickly after he missed the catch. Nevertheless, Sawamura had just run from third base halfway to home plate.
"Go to hell!"
He used all his strength to pass the ball back to home plate.
The ball hit Takehara's Mitt, and Sawamura got close to home plate.
Sawamura slid and Takehara wanted to touch Sawamura and get him Out.
Takehara's brows furrowed, and he quickly pressed down his Mitt.
Suddenly, a voice sounded in his mind.
""Just now, your Mitt didn't touch anyone, right?""
The voice echoed in his mind like a nightmare, and his movements stopped subconsciously.
We also have to pull the camera back for more than half an hour.
Kuramochi had tried to steal home plate once before.
Facing Kuramochi's steal, Takehara's Mitt flicked away.
At that time, in the eyes of the referee, because of the visual dislocation, he thought that Takehara's Mitt had touched Kuramochi.
Kuramochi himself thought that Takehara's Mitt might have rubbed against his clothes.
Only Takehara knew that Kuramochi nimbly avoided his touch, and with a distance of a few centimeters, he escaped by luck, and he succeeded in stealing the base.
However, when the referee ruled that Kuramochi was Out, Kuramochi himself didn't say anything.
Takehara also chose to remain silent.
In the previous situation, the score between the two sides was so tight that one point would completely change the situation…
If that's the case, Takehara wouldn't have any extra thoughts. At most, he thinks the referee has no eyes.
But all this was seen by Kominato Ryosuke.
To be honest, this is just Takehara's guilty conscience. The referee, who was three or four meters away, couldn't see it clearly. How could Kominato Ryosuke, who was at the first base, see it?
But this did not prevent Kominato Ryosuke from taking the opportunity to trick him.
When the two were in the wrong place, Kominato Ryosuke said this.
-"Just now, your glove didn't touch anyone, right?"
…
Takehara suddenly felt his Mitt become heavy. Although he still moved toward Sawamura according to his inertia, Sawamura had already taken a step ahead and touched the plate of the home base.
"Safe!"
Three-point golden home run!!!
Even though it was just an Inside-the-park home run, it was exciting.
The score was instantly rewritten 4:8!
Seidou High School leads by four points.
From the audience's point of view, when the Ace pitcher of the Hakuryu High School came out of the field, the defense of the Hakuryu High School immediately collapsed.
"Without a good pitcher, it seems that there is no way to play against Seidou!"
"No way, Seidou's lineup is too brutal!!!"
"Sawamura, Sawamura!!!"
"Dong dong dong, dong dong dong!"
"Demon king!!!"
In the stands, the most excited were the two fan clubs who supported Sawamura.
Sure enough, idols are idols.
The unstoppable idol.
In the Kanto Tournament, he debuted with a home run, and now the Kanto Tournament ends with his home run.
Hits, home runs, pitches…
Either way, Sawamura's performance is impeccable.
In the team of the Seidou cheerleading team.
Kusaki Sakurako looked at the Demon King's Guards occupying half of the stands, and at the Brotherhood of Red Hearts, which was buzzing with gongs and drums.
Watching the media cameras point the lens there over and over again, her nose is sore.
One day, they will have to get in too.
It is conceivable that if they join, the sensation caused by this group will definitely break through the clouds.
The dugout of the Hakuryu High School.
All the players closed their eyes in resignation.
The game is over, and with Sawamura's home run, it's all over.
On the mound.
Ouno, who seemed to be paralyzed, finally had an expression on his face.
Shock!
He threw the Slider into the inside corner, and the first ball was hit?
'Miyano-senpai, actually suppressed these guys for seven full innings, so that they only got four points?'
Ouno was not defeated by a home run.
He was born with a brave heart, and he dealt with Masuko and Miyuki one after another.
Even though Miyuki had God's help in the previous encounter at home plate, when it came to batting, especially when there was no one on the base, he wasn't very good.
As for Masuko, he's not good at dealing with this kind of breaking ball pitcher who can handle the ball well.
After two Outs, Shiratsu hit a hit.
Sakai played a weak grounder and contributed to the last Outs.
Three Outs, offense, and defense exchange.
In the second half of the ninth inning, Hakuryu attacked.
This is also the last chance for Hakuryu High School to attack.
"STRIKE!"
"STRIKE!!"
"STRIKE BATTER OUT!!!"
"STRIKE BATTER OUT!!!!"
"STRIKE BATTER OUT!!!!!!"
"GAME SET!!!"
Until the end, neither side of the game changed.
Sawamura struck out the batting strength of the Hakuryu for the sixth batter, seventh batter, and substitute pitcher Ouno who is the eighth batter.
End the game.
"In the finals of the Kanto Tournament, West Tokyo Seidou High School played against Gunma Hakuryu High School.
The score: 4:8
Seidou High School won. Congratulations to Seidou High School for winning and becoming the new Kanto Overlord."
"Seidou!"
"Seidou!!!"
…
At this moment, in countless places in Kanto, the name of Seidou has been around for a long time.
The top giant that has not entered the Koshien for five consecutive years has risen.
The king is back, Seidou!
The next day, almost all the media and magazines used this title to announce the rise of Seidou with a high profile.
This is a later story, we will not mention it for the time being.
At the end of the game, both sides saluted and shook hands.
Everyone in the Hakuryu High School was very hard when shaking hands with Sawamura.
"I will win it back."
When shaking hands with Sawamura, Mima said solemnly.
"We won't lose," Sawamura replied confidently.
"I'm sorry," Tetsuya apologized, although it's not his responsibility, but it was the ball he hit that injured the third baseman of the Hakuryu High School.
"It's not your fault, we will carry on with his brave spirit and move on," Takehara said solemnly. (T/N: He is not dead you know? XD )
"Next time, if we fight again, it will be Koshien."
Miyano smiled and looked extremely kind, and he was different from Pitcher Mound.
Seidou players still respect him very much.
If not for luck, if not for lack of physical strength. This guy is a very tough opponent.
It's hard to say how many points Seidou can score from him in a game.
"Yes, next time we fight, it will be Koshien."
Tetsuya's expression became firm.
Koshien, no matter what, they must go!
"Didn't you just collapse and die? I thought you couldn't stand up?"
Takehara looked at Miyano, who was talking and laughing, and said angrily.
"How can you show weakness in front of your opponent?"
Miyano said with a smile, even though his physical strength was so exhausted that it was difficult to breathe.
At the end of the salute, Seidou collectively came to the audience who cheered them on, bowed, and thanked them.
This time, including the Brotherhood of Red Heart and the Demon-King's Guard.
Obayashi, Kobayashi, Miyamoto, the three looked stupidly at the Seidou players who collectively bowed to them, and their eyes were inexplicably wet.
Their Demon-King Sawamura has now fully integrated into the Seidou and has become a member of the Seidou.

T/N: Alright, this Volume is Completed, and the next volume is up.
So, I would like to thank you all for reading and your support.
I know that the work is not up to par and there are a lot of mistakes, oh god a lot of mistakes.
To be honest, when I started this, I had no idea what am I doing. I was still learning things along the way and was juggling work, part-time, this novel, social life, and other problems at the same time.
And finally, I was able to get into a good rhythm. With that, I think the quality will start to improve and I promise it will continue to improve further.
So, again Thank you. and let's start the next Volume.
