The original intention of the diamond ace

I approached Kagami quietly, and said to him with a thief.

"Kagami, I thought of a good idea to score points! But I need your cooperation, okay?"

He looked suspiciously at me who was smiling inexplicably, "It's fine, but can you stop laughing so strangely..."

"Odd, strange..." I twitched the corners of my mouth.

"Forget it, these are not important."

"Listen first and see how it goes."

…………

"What do you think!" I said excitedly, I couldn't wait to see the expressions of the seniors who were being tricked!

"Are you sure they won't see it?" Kagami hesitated.

"I'm not sure, then we can only see my acting skills and yours." I shrugged.

"Um, can this person do it? I don't think it's believable......" Kagami frowned and looked at me.

"And what if two or three come on base?"

I said casually: "Then the plan will be cancelled, and one of our two associations will make a call."

Although looking at their swings, if they don't have the speed to pick a bat, they probably won't be able to hit the bases.

Just finished speaking, a stick was also struck out, and the offense and defense were switched.

"First grade, vote and replace!"

Um! ?Kagami and I should not be replaced!I didn't expect that the plan would fail for such a boring reason.

"Third base, first base, right field on fielding in the fourth inning."

so far so good.

"Catcher, Misune Okumura, pitcher, Hirofumi Asada."

I glanced at Okumura enviously.

There are still two pitchers on the bench. If there is still a pitcher missing in the seventh inning, I can only take the opportunity of others. Although I feel sorry for you, this is not the time to be humble.

Think about it later, and defend this round first.

In the first half of the fourth inning, it was the second batter's turn for the first-year offense.

The first ball in the second baseball hit the infield and was directly caught.Although the three sticks entangled a few balls, they were still struck out in the end.

Now it's a four-bat situation with two outs and no hits.

Hmm—two out, not so good for this plan.

But is this fun? Anyway, if one of the two of us is out, the plan will fail. Wouldn’t it be more exciting to be more exciting!

oh!straight ball!Being so lucky at the beginning, it seems that the opportunity will probably go smoothly.

"Pong!"

"Another single, that's a decent four."

"Although his striking skills are not very good, his strength is still very good."

"The next is five bats. With the current lineup, if you want to score, you can only have these two."

"But now that the runner is on first base, it's hard to score with just two people."

Cheers erupted from the rest area.

"Oh oh oh! He played again!"

"Who is he, I didn't have any impression of him before!"

"As expected of the four sticks, it's amazing!"

…………

I was a little annoyed standing on the first base bag.

Whoops, I was so excited, but I didn't work hard.But it's all on base, and there's always a chance.

The next one is Goku Kagami!

The catcher behind home plate looked at Kagami, "Standing at the front of the strike zone, do you want to block the inside corner and then hit the outside corner?" '

Then I looked at the first base, "The first base is not too far away from the base. Is it because I want to steal a base? It shouldn't be possible. Now I have two outs."Could it be hit and run? These two are freshmen, so there shouldn't be such a tacit understanding. '

"First goal!"

The catcher made a signal, 'Forget it, anyway, the runner is on first base, and the bottom line is below, don't think so much.Vote here, let him fight if he wants to fight. '

The pitcher nodded, raised his hand and took a step.

At first base, I tensed my back and stared at the pitcher's left foot.The moment I was sure his left foot was heading for home plate, I rushed to second base.

"Steal the base!"

'It really is going to hit and run... what!No swing! 'The catcher jumped and passed the ball immediately after receiving the ball, but unfortunately it was too late. "safe!"

"Bad ball!"

"He stole the base without hesitation! Are you so bold? Now that you're two out, it's better to just wait for the next bat?"

"I remembered, his name seems to be Oda!"

The freshmen chattered about the stolen base just now.

At this point, off the field.

"Stealing bases alone at this time, this four-bat is very bold."

"I thought it was going to hit and run, and the five sticks looked like they must be hit."

"But now there are people in the scoring circle, maybe we can really score this round."

"Huh? Is that four-bat farther off the bases? Stealing bases?"

"The risk of stealing the third base is too great. When he just caught the ball, he just stepped on the base bag. The home plate is much closer to the third base than the second base. Now it is in the circle. I believe five bats, no better?"

I smiled proudly at Kagami, look, I said it would work!

He patted his chest twice and adjusted his hat.

After seeing Kagami at the home plate, "Is there a password?"It doesn't matter, just do what you said. '

He also raised his hat and resumed his middle position.

Seeing this, I walked away from a long distance and looked at the pitcher on the mound with a smile.

The pitcher pinned me down twice, but the distance didn't close.

'Focus on the hitters, leave the runners to me.I don't really believe it, but if he steals a base, I'll stop him at third base. '

"Second ball!"

The catcher gave the signal, the pitcher nodded, and after looking back at me, let's move!

"Steal the base!"

A bat appeared in the catcher's sight, 'Hit and run! '

Just as he was about to stand up, the ball went over the bat.

'It was an intentional miss!Still a steal! '

But that chain of events resulted in the ball hitting the side of the glove, and by the time the catcher picked it up quickly for a pass, I was stepping on the third base bag.

Hehe, I really tricked them, now it's your turn, Kagami.

"Oh oh oh—steal bases in a row! He's so good, is he really a freshman like us?!"

"How courageous! I feel like I'm not afraid of senior at all!"

"He's on third already! We're not going to score, are we?"

"Did they discuss it? When did they discuss it!"

…………

"Cut." The catcher quickly adjusted his mood and signaled the infield to step forward and defend.

'It's okay, so you don't have to worry about the runners, just focus on dealing with the hitters. '

I still left the bases by a wide margin and looked at Kagami at home plate.

You must fight out, even if it is a ground ball, I will run back!

He hit an infield grounder, and as soon as it hit the ground, I hit the plate.

The leading shortstop quickly handled the ball and passed it back to the plate.

The home plate turned up a cloud of dust, and everyone's eyes widened.

The catcher and I immediately looked up at the judge,

"out!"

I stood up in disappointment, alas, the plan went so smoothly before, and I reached third base, did it fail in the end?Although it is said that there is an expectation of failure, it is still a bit uncomfortable.I scowled and walked towards the bench area.

The overseer at home plate glanced at me, and the dark glasses behind the visor flickered.

Kagami caught up with me and blamed herself, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault for not playing well." 'Really, Oda-kun helped me figure out the positioning, but I didn't play well in the end. '

I comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay, let you miss two balls, and then hit the third ball directly, it's really a bit too embarrassing for you. Come on, defend the next round first."

"Ok!"

Turning my head around, I felt uncomfortable again. It was already the fourth game, and I might only have one game after that. If I was lucky, I might have another turn in the ninth game.But the same plan can't be used for the second time, and it won't be impossible to get a point.

"Oda boy, why don't you have any fighting spirit at all!" I turned my head and saw Sawamura-senpai standing behind the home plate block, I ran over, "Senior, did you call me?"

"Yeah! Why are you so lazy, you can't beat those seniors like this!" Senior Sawamura's voice was as loud as ever.

But what is laziness, I am a little bit shocked, okay! "The seniors are too strong. Compared with them, we can't stand against them at all." I smiled wryly, "And this point difference is also very difficult to catch up."

"Huh?!" Sawamura-senpai looked at me strangely.

Um?What am I saying wrong?

He pointed to the scoreboard,

"The game is not over yet!"

He seemed to be saying something that should be taken for granted.

"Haha." I laughed dryly, gripped the bat tightly, chinned hard, and tilted my head slightly restrained, the shadow of my hat covered my face, only my pursed mouth was visible.

Senior!Are you so passionate!I couldn't help raising my head, staring at him with slightly bent eyes, and laughed, "Hahaha, yes! The game is not over yet, let's see how far we can do it!"

I turned around and walked to the lounge.Sawamura shouted from behind: "Oh! This year's first graders are very arrogant! You must blow them up! Just get [-] points!"

The supervisor was still standing on home plate, with his back to us, and the corner of his mouth moved slightly.
