Xilu still lost in the last game, one step away from Koshien.

Back at the training ground after the game, the teenagers sat in a meeting to sum up. The atmosphere was a bit depressed, but no one cried out, and they were more unwilling.Everyone took turns summarizing their shortcomings, what they didn't do well, and what they could improve...

The team leader looked around, "Everyone has finished talking, so is our defeat this time accidental?"

Everyone started shaking their heads sparsely.Although not reconciled, but have to admit that the opponent is better.

"After half a year, we have improved a lot, but do you think the current level can achieve our goal?"

"No.", "No." Everyone refused unwillingly.

"Okay, it seems that everyone's opinion is the same, we are not enough, so starting tomorrow we have to find a way to improve the quality of training. Also, our training volume seems to be very large, but is there any way to further increase the training volume? Possibly—say..."

Supervisor Baizhi looked at the teenagers with raging fighting spirit in their eyes, and felt very relieved, and did not interrupt in a hurry.They didn't get depressed because of failure, but turned unwillingness into fighting spirit.After all, they have long known that their dreams are not so easy to achieve.

……

The post-match summary was over, and a few second graders walked together, Hanai asked, "I'll go visit Takaya - report to him? How about you?" He said and looked at Mitsuhashi.

Mihashi nodded.

"I'm going along the way—" Rongkou responded, and his tone changed, "Long will be very unwilling." The tone was a little sad.After all, they have all worked hard, and Abe, who can't do anything, is the most reconciled.

"I'm going too," Tajima said. "To be honest—it's not that I don't want to win, but I feel that if we enter Koshien when Takashi is not around, it seems that something is missing."

"Don't say such things in front of Takaya for a while." Hanai was speechless.

"of course I know."

As the crowd walked outside, Hanai silently thought about Tajima's words.

(To be honest, in this state—even if Takashi is here, even if we enter Koshien, we will not be able to achieve our goal.)

(Compared to the shock of losing, it should be more shocking to understand this fact more clearly, right?)

(—Obviously it should be a shock, but I am not particularly depressed now, only very, very unwilling——instead, it ignites the fighting spirit even more.)

(Yuichiro also said just now that he feels that he is not as good as Takaya as a catcher at all...me too, in addition to being reconciled to my opponent, I am also very reconciled to Yuichiro...)

Everyone was silently thinking about their own thoughts.

Although there was no obvious depression, the loss was a bit of a blow.

"Ah, I'll go too," Quan said suddenly, seeing everyone's gazes, Quan explained, "It's about the sports festival."

(Sports Festival?)

People looked weird.

"If this guy is depressed, can we change the subject or something?" Quan explained.

"Haha, what, Kosuke, are you so considerate?"

"Absolutely not."

"The main reason is that I really want to complain to him." Quan narrowed his eyes.

Everyone relaxed slightly.

……

"So, Takaya, you escaped a catastrophe." Quan said half complaining, half angrily.

"Haha, Kosuke, are you too?" Seeing Izumi's unfriendly gaze, Rongkou immediately explained, "I'm the same as you, I'm 200 meters, Swedish style confrontation, joint confrontation...", the project is not at all compared to Izumi Little, Quan immediately looked balanced in his heart.

Recently, everyone in the baseball club was busy playing games, and when the class decided on candidates for the sports festival, no one was there, so many events were arranged.

"Where's Lian?" Abe asked worriedly, indifferent to Quan's plight.

"Don't worry, I was supposed to arrange him for 400 meters, but Hamada stopped him - he ran for Lian." Quan said angrily.Why didn't anyone stop one or two for him? ...Forget it, if no one runs for Lian, he wants to run for him.

"If it was Takaya, no one would dare to arrange for him even if he wasn't injured, right?" Rongkou turned the topic back to Abe.

"Yes, I feel that the students in your class, especially the girls, are a little afraid of him."

"It's not so much fear, it's better to say it's hated?" Quan said angrily.

(Well?)

Because I have recently become a "fan" of Nishiura, Tsukishima, who came over after hearing that everyone came to see Abe, originally wondered if it would be necessary to liven up the atmosphere and change the topic (just lost), but it turned out that it was not necessary at all. Everyone's topic slid completely to a strange direction.

Tsukishima secretly glanced at Abe with some embarrassment - he remained motionless.

"Yes, this guy is completely unpopular in the class." The squad leader seemed deeply touched.

"Well, but we're all pretty much the same." Rong Kou laughed—at last, there was one person who didn't hurt A tribe.

Seeing Yue Dao's confused and embarrassed face, everyone started to explain.Probably because Abe's attitude towards Tsukishima is very casual, so everyone is also very casual.

It turns out that there are many cultural festivals, sports festivals and other non-school activities in XJTLU. Some classes will prepare spectacularly, but everyone in the baseball club focuses on training, so they often skip various activities.

(Wow, that kind of privilege sounds like it would definitely be isolated.)

Tsukishima hesitated, "Would it be bad if you don't fit in too well?" Should we participate in group activities occasionally?

"It can't be helped. I can't take care of it. If I want to do baseball training, I can only be sorry to everyone."

"It's troublesome to everyone in the support team—and the manager, who often do double for us."

"Ah, that's right, the gymnastics prepared in the class before? Shinoka learned it and taught us during the training break."

"Comparatively, the baseball club is even more inseparable from us, isn't it? We are irreplaceable. Although I am sorry for everyone in the class, it can still be done without us."

"The baseball team can do without you, right?"

"Hey!"

"But—Takaya is especially serious," the team leader forcibly turned the topic back to Abe, with deep resentment, "For example, you should apologize when you skipped an event, but this guy's perfunctory attitude is very annoying. Apologize for being nice to others for him."

"Ah, at the cultural festival last time—" Quan remembered something, "You, since you skipped your class shift—then you shouldn't show up at the class booth and eat meatballs."

"And it seems that I don't talk to the people in the class at all..." Tajima added thoughtfully.

Abe was impatient, "No way, it's impossible for my classmates not to talk at all. I will answer people when they talk to me."

"Longya, you," the team leader said helplessly, "it's the kind of talk other than passing homework, it's fine. Except for necessary things, occasional small talk is the normal state of the class."

Abe folded his arms and leaned back, "Isn't it good to have time to chat and study the opponent's information? I'm too busy with baseball, why waste time chatting meaninglessly with people."

"It seems that I really have no friends at all." Quan concluded with a blank face.

"Tsk, then it's fine if I don't have friends," Abe suddenly became angry. He was complained about like this before, what's wrong with not having friends, "If friends need to waste time, then I don't need this kind of friends."

Tsukishima was overwhelmed by his straightforward words of not wanting friends.

"Anyway, you are enough." Abe concluded angrily.

The crowd fell silent.

"Longya, why are you so nasty all of a sudden..."

"Where is it stinky!"

……

When everyone laughed, Tsukishima was distracted.

This is Abe's way of choosing and choosing. He doesn't want to take care of both. Abe's obsession with baseball is not so superficial.

When he was chasing baseball, he had the consciousness to abandon other things.

Abe chose baseball over being the most popular guy, so the trade-off between befriending people and researching baseball data is obvious, isn't it?

In fact, these teenagers must have made choices. Although they are not as thorough as Abe, they all have the consciousness to make people in the class unhappy-I really don’t understand when I was thinking about persuading them to get along with others just now.

Seems logically simple and reasonable.

But is the trade-off really that simple?

In real life, the really important things often have to give way to the less important things, because everyone else is like this, afraid of being different from others, afraid of not fitting in.So it takes courage to give up.

She looked at Abe with a meaningless face.

Maybe he really doesn't need any courage, everything is natural, because he probably only has his dreams in his eyes, he probably can't see "others" at all, and naturally he doesn't have "afraid of being different from others".

At this moment, she thought of the boy she once knew who only looked at one place.

Suddenly, I remembered that the tall boy once seriously told me about my little troubles when getting along with others. That was when the weather started to get colder...

How does he get along with his classmates?Is it like Abe?

She hadn't had time to learn more about him.

The room was harmonious and harmonious, her thoughts suddenly drifted away, and the cold wind seemed to blow on her face that day.

He said a lot to her that day...

Dreaming, being afraid, doing everything...

That day, the boy once looked straight into her eyes and said seriously:

"If you give up, don't miss it."

Tsukishima suddenly woke up.

My heart is cold.

The author has something to say:*

In the past few days, I should have written more than one chapter every day, but I didn’t write continuously according to the timeline, but skipped, this chapter, that chapter—I feel like I’m from the heptapod race...

But also because the rest of the writing is about the same, so far, it seems that there are about 8 chapters of the finale... I think it should be finished before September.should……

Ushishima and Abe are very different in how they behave in the world besides their concentration.

Abe is actually very high in emotional intelligence, otherwise how can he be a "heart" catcher, he can also be very "refreshing" and "gentle" when he wants to pretend (in the first 2 episodes...), he can also watch the atmosphere when he needs it , but I am familiar with it, or most of the time, I feel a little impatient or even irritable...

On the other hand, Udo is really a little unreasonable, but he is very patient and tolerant towards people (many of Udo’s actions give people a feeling of "this person is very well-bred"), right?

In fact, Abe has some cute arrogance of young people, the kind of self-confidence that people like, especially at the beginning. ;

Niu Dao is also self-confident, out of his objective cognition of himself and others. If he has to say something, he can be said to be humble.

The two reacted very differently to the loss too...

In short, both of them are chasing their goals, as if they are shining cute boys, hoping to write about their cuteness

PS, in addition, there is also a "big boy" Hui Er who is also my favorite (Has anyone read "Strong Wind Blowing"? Book or animation?) Hui Er is simply Bai Yueguang, how can he be so good? ?Confess ten thousand times!Then confess your confession a thousand times!
