Reborn in Tokyo after picking up Sayu who ran away from home

Chapter 158 Pitcher

The training ground after school is full of people.

In addition to the people who were going to participate in the department activities, there are many other students here today.

The benches that the baseball team usually uses to rest and watch practice are full.

As for the others who failed to grab a seat, they either stood and watched on the edge of the fence on the training ground, or sat and watched on the lawn slope outside the fence.

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

On the third floor of the teaching building, in a certain room on the west side.

The girl with the golden ponytails was leaning on the window with her hands, her blue eyes staring at the direction of the playground, her eyes slightly lost in thought.

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

However, the owner obviously didn't have such a mood at this time. On the contrary, the girl frowned in dissatisfaction when she heard the almost one-sided cheering sound from outside.

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

"Don't lose to that person, be more serious!"

But after hesitating for a while, she deleted the passage word for word, and put away her phone a little irritably, wondering what she was thinking.

"Why do I have to do such a thing? It's obviously his own fault." Ying Lili complained in a low voice, and whispered a stupid word.

And back on the training ground, Ishikawa, who had put on a white baseball uniform, was squinting 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 just because you can keep the appointment on time."

After a pause, he continued.

"Of course, even if you don't come today, the consequences won't be any 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 do that, the student union campaign will be out of the question. Be lucky now, because you will experience despair later."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Since that's the case, let's do it like this. With a limit of nine balls, you will defend first, 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 balls is that as long as three thugs are eliminated, the offensive side will lose this half of the game.)
Kato Yusuke shook his head and said no.

◇

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

Yusuke Kato was on base as the pitcher, and Ishikawa was on the striker's side of home plate as the hitter.

For ornamental reasons, Ishikawa also specially arranged a fully armed catcher and a referee.The former squats behind the home plate and is responsible for catching the ball, while the latter stands behind the former and is responsible for observing good and bad balls.

When Ishikawa, wearing a helmet and holding a bat, was in place, there was a burst of cheers from the field, and many girls shouted his name loudly to cheer for him.

And he himself waved to the crowd in response.

In contrast, Kato Yusuke, standing on the pitch, looked a bit shabby.

Not only is there no special uniform, but even the baseball glove on his hand is sponsored by Yamaguchi.

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

Off the field, Yamaguchi, Takei, Kako, and even the foursome from the baseball club were all putting their hands to their mouths and shouting something.

It's just that he was submerged in the solidarity of his opponents, so that he couldn't hear their voices at all, and he could only tell from their expressions that they seemed to be cheering for him.

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

Further to the side, Kato Yusuke also saw Shiba-senpai who had only met during the lunch break. The other party was looking at this side with her arms crossed and her legs crossed.

Occasionally, he would say something to Hui beside him.

After noticing his gaze, Shiyu waved her hand with a smile.

Kato Yusuke couldn't help but move his eyes, and then nodded to them.

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

The catcher and referee are also ready.

The arena fell silent.

So Yusuke turned his gaze back.

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

Ishikawa didn't swing.

"Crack!" 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 laughing.

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

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

The baseball coach who came here to serve as the 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 hitter's chest and reached the shoulder.

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

Because the step of running the bases was omitted, the two directly counted the score in a rough way.If the foul is not counted, Ishikawa scores the hit, and Kato Yusuke scores the miss.

There was a burst of cheers from the audience.

"Senior Ishikawa Saigao~~!!"

"Come on~~!!"

The degree of excitement even has a taste of a school festival.

"Hey, let me say." Takei pushed Yamaguchi aside, "Is Kato sure it's okay?"

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

Even the baseball quartet, who were quite imposing just now, lowered their voices a beat.

A breeze blows from the fan-shaped training ground, carrying the smell of July.

The boy looked up at the blue sky, and then whispered to himself: "Is it a little bit short?"

Although he said so, there was no tension on his face, only calmness was revealed.

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

"Psychological quality is not bad."——The man couldn't help but think so.

In the midst of many distracted eyes, the boy caught the ball thrown by the catcher and began to prepare for the second throw.
