"Is this like Eijun's Pitch?"
Although he had seen Sawamura throw a Change-up before, Furuya still didn't understand it. Obviously, the ball is not fast at all, why the Batter can't hit it?
If it was him, he would have blasted this ball away!
"Nice Pitch!"
"Mei!"
"As expected of our Ace!"
The Players of Inashiro gathered around Narumiya Mei to applaud him.
In the face of the emerging powerhouse Shuuhoku High School in East Tokyo, not to mention scoring in six innings, he didn't even give them a single hit.
As expected of Narumiya!
"Ha ha!"
Narumiya Mei's face smiled like a child, it was a brilliant smile.
Playing with Shuuhoku is nothing, what he enjoys most is seeing the ugly expressions on the faces of everyone in Seidou, including Sawamura and Kazuya.
'Shake in front of this prince's pitching!'
Returning to the rest area, Narumiya Mei immediately saw the face of his own superintendent, Kunitomo, who looked like an ice mountain.
In an instant, the smiles disappeared, and only the cold winter remained.
"Ahh~"
Mei opened his mouth with a guilty conscience.
"Didn't I warn you that you are not allowed to reveal more information to our opponents?"
The face of Superintendent Kunitomo, as if to condense frost.
"From the next inning, you won't play!"
"What?"
Narumiya Mei looked aggrieved.
On the other side, the gathering place of Seidou players.
Isashiki looked grimly at Narumiya who was talking with Kunitomo.
"Not only does he have strong Straight balls, vertical and horizontal breaking balls, and now a break in timing? How far is this guy going to evolve?"
In the face of Narumiya Mei, even Seidou's third Batter with his strong fighting spirit, felt like he had nothing to say.
Look like it will be very difficult to get a point from Narumiya Mei's hands.
On the other side, Narumiya, like a spoiled child, ran to Harada while looking aggrieved.
"Masa-san, I've been substituted! Even though I am the Ace~"
"Idiot, of course, you'll be substituted. You'll throw that ball in front of the people of Seidou now, no matter how stupid you are, you should know this is a bad idea."
Harada will not be deceived by Narumiya's pitiful appearance.
During the year of being partners, he had a clear understanding of Narumiya's antics.
"This year, you are aiming to win the Koshien, and you have been working hard until now. Showing this determination to the people of Seidou is definitely not a bad thing. As long as you have the confidence to win, no one can defeat you."
"Yeah, I worked really hard."
This person, Narumiya Mei, is not at all shy about others saying nice things to him. And he will never be embarrassed just because others praise him.
This shameless trait of his is also part of his character.
"Stop being shameless."
Harada rebuked helplessly and then continued: "Because we have the experience of last year, we are stronger than last year. And I believe that we will become stronger in the future."
"We've already been to that stage. And the guys on the other side have never felt it."
Harada and Narumiya looked at the people in Seidou.
The advantage of experience cannot be compensated by hard work alone.
A high-spirited aura surged out from them.
Feeling the provocation of Inashiro. The players of the Seidou are all eager to fight.
Especially Isashiki, who really looked like he wanted to beat up someone short and blonde.
"That look on his face makes me really angry."
Kuramochi beat the drum beside him: "That's not good Jun-san, this is our school. Why don't we wait for them to leave the school? I can do it for Jun-san."
His fists creaked, and Kuramochi looked like he was about to hit someone.
'Are you guys really in the main force?'
Sawamura glanced at Kuramochi with his eyes and muttered in his mind.
Kominato Ryosuke suddenly glanced at Sawamura: "Right now, the pitcher shouldn't be a chicken."
Sawamura was stunned.
He was eager to teach them a lesson too, but the Boss didn't arrange for him to play today, so he couldn't keep whining on and on about it, right?
Although Kataoka wanted to show a spirit that was no weaker than Inashiro, he probably wouldn't put him on the field at a time like this.
After all, Koshien is the first target.
'Anyway, I must get a hit today.' Masuko thought was much simpler.
In yesterday's game, he contributed nothing. If he can't make an actual performance again, let alone the fifth hole, whether he can stay in the starting lineup will be a question.
In Seidou's third year, he was not the only third baseman.
Chris's eyes glowed with wisdom.
'In Narumiya Mei's ball, there must be some flaws, and we must find out.'
Miyuki thought it was simpler.
'Mei probably wanted to use this ball to intimidate Seidou, but it was a pity that Seidou had no players who gave in because of this.'
This is Miyuki thinking too much!
Narumiya Mei threw this ball purely to vent and show off. He never thought of using this ball to scare Seidou's courage. Especially in the case of Seidou and the Ace, Sawamura.
On the Change-up, Narumiya's pitch is not as sharp as Sawamura's!
"I really want to play!"
Sawamura's thinking is also simple. He believes that he can respond without exposing anything.
Since Narumiya has thrown the Change-up provocatively, he naturally has to fight back.
Moreover, Narumiya uses the Change-up, and he will also use the Change-up!
"Boss!"
Feeling that he couldn't let it go by, Sawamura went running to Kataoka again.
Kataoka then glared at Sawamura with warning in his eyes. Which made Sawamura stop like a stone statue in an instant.
Even so, Kataoka didn't dislike Sawamura's vigorous fighting spirit and Ace's self-awareness.
Tanpa's biggest problem is not actually his pitching, but his mentality.
Never give up the mound to anyone!
That's what Tanpa is missing.
'Time to talk to Tanpa!' Kataoka thought to himself.
In the face of Narumiya Mei's provocation, no one in Seidou was being a coward.
Whether it is Inashiro or Narumiya Mei, they will not lose.
Everyone in Seidou has such self-confidence.
Although they still haven't come up with a countermeasure against Narumiya's pitching now, there will always be a way.
The biggest difference between the current Seidou and the previous Seidou is that.
They don't have to worry about Seidou's pitcher suddenly collapsing and losing the score that they finally got after fighting over it tooth and nail.
Even in the pitcher duel, Seidou was absolutely confident that they would not lose to anyone.
This is the confidence that Sawamura brought to Seidou.
"Chris, let's warm up."
The third-year pitcher of Seidou, Tanpa said suddenly.
'Uh'
Chris was stunned for a moment, then chuckled.
Under the stimulation of Narumiya, Tanpa finally responded.
"Okay!"
The match between Inashiro and Shuuhoku was ending.
'Now, I really should check Tanpa's status first.'
For things on the field, just use the performance on the field to respond.
