Diamond Ace Takanono

Chapter 104 Flowing Emotions

At 12:[-] noon, the game ended and Qingdao won.

As the spectators quickly dispersed, there was also the latest news about the Qingdao pitchers. Tonight, no matter who the target of tomorrow's game is, the supervisors of the powerful teams in the Kanto region have the latest video materials in their hands.

'In the coming year, I don't know what kind of hell the West Tokyo area will become. At that time, I will be able to meet you on the field, although it is an enemy. In the distant stands, Hayakawa stood up after staring at the empty Seido bench, watching his former best partner shine under the guidance of others, his hand was a little itchy, and he had to take it halfway It is more practical to hold a baseball in the palm of your hand.

Hayakawa did not report to Daoshi in advance, not because of his personal wishes, but no one forced him. It was purely the tacit obligation of the eldest son of a multi-child family. Parents used to think that during the spring break, the eldest son would take care of the two children, so The arrangement revealed in the words did not involve the custody of the two children. Hayakawa listened carefully and did not point it out, but quietly selected the option to go to Daoshi in advance in his heart.

"Do you want to go to the old place?" Hayakawa asked Gao Zhiye in a text message a week after the graduation ceremony of the third year of junior high school.

"Sorry, my nanny is on leave this week."

After more than a week, "Do you want to go to the old place?"

"I'm sorry, it might not work today. We're all outside. We're going to Qingdao in March. That guy Langzhi insists on dragging me to the bookstore to find all the manga he wants. Do you want to come?"

"No, I have to cook in a while." Hayakawa closed his phone, and in the next second he contacted Dao Shi's teacher, asking if he could go to the training in advance. After getting an affirmative answer from the other party, he faced "If you want to come, Before the spring break, I had to register the 'question' first, but I didn't give an answer.

Throughout March, the contact between the two was intermittent. Finally, one weekend, Gao Zhiye came back from leave and met outside, but the other party teased: "You are now a catcher of Dao Shi, I can't be touched by you." Know the details."

This sentence did not make Hayakawa angry, but finally felt a sense of getting out of the depressed spring break: "Then see you later on the field."

See you later on the field. . .The ball in Hayakawa's hand was already warm. He left the stands and walked towards Gate A. When he looked up, he happened to meet a pair of eyes.

"Hayakawa! You came to see my game!" Takano's excited voice echoed in the hall: "How is it?!"

"Sai Gao!" Hayakawa's smile broke out when he didn't realize it, interrupting his meditation all the way: "Are you going back to school now?"

"Hmm! What about your school's competition?"

"I'll be at the auxiliary track in a while, I'm going to rush over." Hayakawa accelerated his pace by two points, and these high-spirited teenagers walked very fast.

"Come on then!"

"Well... this is for you."

Suddenly took the thrown baseball, Gao Zhiye felt the temperature on his palm just as he was about to ask a question, the ball was warm, probably because he held it like this all the way, so he didn't ask any more questions, compared to a bigger one Thumbs to Hayakawa, Hayakawa also returned a thumbs up, after a brief meeting, the two good friends waved and parted at the gate.

Gao Zhiye's heart was pounding, and it was only at this time that he realized that he was wrong just now, as if he was showing off his little achievement, but fortunately Hayakawa is Hayakawa, and he was really happy for himself.

"Ah, isn't that Inomi's first-year catcher? Why did you come to find our pitcher?" A whistleblower speech suddenly came from the front of the team, which was deliberately loud.

Gao Zhiye was happy for a while, but his mood suddenly became complicated.

"Hey, it's indeed Inami's school uniform."

"It looks like a good relationship."

"What does the catcher mean... that he knows our freshman pitching very well?!"

"Huh?!! Hey, first grader, how much information does Daoshi know about you? Do you know that our opponent the day after tomorrow may be Daoshi?"

Takano was surrounded by kind seniors in an instant, struggling to defend himself. Fortunately, the seniors thought he had done something for him today, but they just bullied him a little, "Damn Yuyuki, why is his brain cramping?" '

And the catcher who was scolded secretly got on the bus first, and was in a good mood to connect with others.

"How about you, in Daoshi, did you catch Ming's pitch?"

"Haha, I'm only in the first grade, how could it be so fast."

"So, the advice I gave you probably won't be useful until this fall." When Gao Zhiye didn't know, the two catchers exchanged their knowledge about their respective pitchers.

"Maybe I can go up and fight in summer."

Miyuki thought for a while, "Then we'll see you in the game." Miyuki knew that the competition for Inami's bench seat was no less fierce than Aidou's, so that's all he could say.

On the other side, after finally getting rid of the seniors, Gao Zhiye bumped into the supervisor who had just finished the interview before getting into the car. He averted his eyes a little guilty. The combination of him and Hayakawa is still famous in junior high school. The coach will definitely ask Hayakawa about the situation, isn't it that his underwear will be stripped clean.

It happened that Jiang Gu stood by the door for an unknown amount of time, "Jiang Gu, what are you doing, get in the car."

"Hi..." Jiang Gu, who ate all the melons, was dragged in in such a daze.

Supervisor Kataoka didn't notice this abnormality at all, he was thinking about tomorrow's game, and when everyone got on the bus, he announced: "Tanba, you will start tomorrow, and, tomorrow Takano, you will come Go to left field."

"Hi."*2
"Danbo."

"Tanba." The mood of the third graders is obviously much better, and there is another worry about Sakai. Tomorrow's game will let Gao Zhiye play left field. It is obvious that the supervisor is making various attempts.

"Sakai..." He looked back with a vague gaze, he didn't expect that he had persisted to the end, and he might be left behind.

Sakai, who was sitting in the back row, remained silent. He had gone many consecutive games without a hit, and today's situation was expected.

'Don't take your anger out on me, senior. . Gao Zhiye muttered in his heart, "Seidao High School is such a place, you guys know it better than me." '

Beside him, the monster boy who had only pitched two innings was already asleep, but Gao Zhiye, who had pitched seven innings, was physically exhausted but mentally very active. The next two days of consecutive battles followed in less than a month when the competition was intense. In the summer, this kind of game intensity also needs to take into account study. No wonder Coach Ninomiya has been worried. He has only been in it for more than two months, and he can already feel the horror.

On the other bus on the return journey, most of them were first graders, and the Second Army had a competition this afternoon, so Chunshi, Langzhi and Rongchun were all preparing for the battle.

"Hey—Seniors, they have entered the semi-finals!" The news of the first army's victory spread quickly.

"Today's starting pitcher is Takano."

"Isn't that Sasaki-kun's brother?"

"It's amazing, just in the first grade..."

Everyone's discussions naturally fell into Eijun's ears. He didn't have to think about it, and the scene of Takano's three-strike hitter was clearly presented in his mind, but it was Takano who pulled him up for a run in the morning, and at night. Studying the scene of baseball, such a person is also practicing so hard, and——

Yesterday afternoon, after the Second Army's garrison training.

"Sawamura-kun, I understand how you feel. I invited you to Seido last fall precisely because I saw the shadow of an ace in you. The kind of momentum that a pitcher leads the team is what Aido lacks." Takashima Rei sat on the stool, and in front of her, Sawamura felt self-conscious, "Do you know? Real gold is not afraid of fire. If you want to become an ace, you must go through such tests. In order to let you grow faster , I let you study with Chris, have you studied with him well?"

"I know, of course I know. Even if I don't understand the meaning of training every day, I don't dare to lag behind when I'm with them. I'm practicing every day." Gao Zhiye's pitching is so good, he has fully understood it, and wants to Surpassing him is like climbing an ever-growing mountain. He is anxious, but he can't find the entrance to the mountain. Training day and night is just like circling at the foot of the mountain.
