Diamond Ace Takanono

Chapter 127 Goodbye Cheng Gongming

On the Sunday of the training camp, this day is a double match, with Daoshi, Qingdao, and Xiubei competing in a round robin.

In the game against Inomi in the morning, Seidou had a rare all-substitute presence. After Kusuki came on the field, he recommended Takano, a junior in the same dormitory, as the third base instructor.

"Ah, has that person decided to give up being a pitcher?" Eijun searched around, and finally found Gao Zhiye who was "doing nothing" on the field.

"Eijun, keep your voice down, didn't you hear the supervisor's arrangement this morning?"

"Ah, that's what it means."

"Also, Gao Jun said, if you make any big noise today and let him hear it, he won't teach you how to pitch when you come back." Chunshi pointed to Jiang Gu on one side: "At that time, I will only teach you how to pitch." Down the valley."

"Why, why, it's not fair!" Haruichi was shaken by the anxious Eijun.

"...Voice, voice, Gao Jun is about to hear it."

Rong Chun hurriedly shut up and squatted down, as if there was some scourge patrolling outside, he asked: "How is it? He turned his head away."

Haruichi looked at Eijun who was squatting down, the anxiety on the child's face was not false, for some reason, he understood the meaning of Takano's special order today, "...Eijun, you can stand up now, Kuramochi-senpai has already reached third base, how can the third base instructor be distracted by the bench at this time."

"Indeed."

Takano's method successfully reduced the decibel level in Seido's bench by half, but in the eighth game, Eijun finally couldn't bear it anymore.

In the second half of the eighth inning, Kawakami, who was exhausted to the extreme, was hit one after another, and the score on the account increased by 5 points in one inning. The original 3:3 situation suddenly tilted towards Inashi.

"Takano, why don't you save Kawakami-senpai?"

"Huh? When you say rescue, do you mean that I will replace Kawakami-senpai?" Takano glanced at Eijun next to him, and replied indifferently.

"That's right, Senior Kawakami can't stand it any longer. Is there no one to help him at this time?" Indeed, Kawakami, who was beaten out one after another, looked like he was advancing in a swamp, exhausted.

"Well, have you given up on being the trump card?" Gao Zhiye suddenly said something that seemed to be off topic, but Rongchun was stunned by this sentence, "Why do you think I can save the game, not yourself? It's only been two months since school started, are you already so dependent on me?"

"This..." Rong Chun sat beside him in a slumped manner. The words just now revealed a topic that he hadn't thought about for a long time, 'I want to be the trump card'.

'Yes, two months have passed since that day', the tears of my hometown friends before leaving, the declaration of being a trump card when I first entered high school, after being hit hard by reality over and over again, it became the bottom of my heart. Even he himself hasn't read it for a long time, but he just trains hard every day, accumulates bricks and bricks outside the wall that gets higher and higher as he understands it, and finds a way to surpass it, but unknowingly, even he In my heart, I began to agree with the point of view of 'Maybe I can't surpass Gao Zhiye in high school, maybe I can't be an ace'.

The court was still noisy, and Kawakami, who had been comforted by the seniors in the palace, finally regained his pitching strength. Takano's mind was fully drawn to the duel. Giving up on becoming an ace card, bearing the tears and expectations of my teammates, no matter when, I will not give up on this wish alone, it is not just my own business."

"Huh?" Gao Zhiye looked aside in surprise. Eijun's face, voice, and even his clenched fists contained a lot of emotions. Like an ocean with great power, 'this child, you are serious about this matter. '

"That's good," patted the kid on the shoulder. After the offense and defense exchange, Gao Zhiye will also play, "but I have to go first."

The match in the morning ended in Qingdao's defeat.
After the game, Eijun and others cleaned up the field, while Gao Zhiye waited outside the bench, looking at the people who came, "Yo! Senior Narimiya."

"You guy, you didn't tell me in person when you came to Qingdao. If it wasn't for Hayakawa-kun, you don't know when you'd let me know." Is the fastball pitcher going to play this afternoon?"

"Why didn't you ask me?" Because of his height, Gao Zhiye could look down on his senior: "I'm really looking forward to the duel with Senior Narimiya."

"Huh? Didn't you appear on stage yesterday?" Cheng Gongming, who always despises others, obviously knows Gao Zhiye's movements very well.

"...Senior Narimiya, have you peeked at the correspondence between me and Hayakawa again?" Hayakawa was arranged in Narimiya's dormitory. According to the description of the person concerned, he felt very at ease, as if he had returned home. Cheng Senior Gong's level of tossing alone is comparable to two adolescent active younger brothers, so that he can feel at home without having to go home.

"Cut." Narimiya glanced at the group of people behind Gao Zhiye, "Hey, that thin bamboo pole, let me ask you, which one is Jianggu?"

"Slim...thin bamboo pole?" Jiang Gu himself said that he was at a loss for being insulted in person for the first time.

Eijun next to him was about to have a seizure, so Haruichi covered his mouth skillfully. This action caught Narimiya's attention: "Could it be you?"

Cheng Gongming was still messing around, but Gao Zhiye had already passed him to communicate with the calm senior behind him: "Ya Sang? Hayakawa and I have mentioned it many times, senior, you have been of great help to him."

"No, it's because he worked very hard. He has been able to serve as a rotation catcher in the Second Army, but he still needs to study hard for another year."

"Well," Gao Zhiye finished the greetings here, and immediately grabbed Cheng Gongming who was about to go forward: "Senior Cheng Gong, you can just walk this way, my children are very afraid of people."

"Huh? What do you mean by that?" Chenggong was very dissatisfied, why did he feel that Gao Zhiye regarded him as some kind of beast, "Then tell me, how many kilometers can the guy named Jiangu throw, and how does he compare with me?" Sample?"

"I'm just joking. It's been a long time since I saw Senior Narimiya's pitching. It must be even more wonderful. How can we freshmen compare to it? Don't listen to other people's nonsense. I look forward to your pitching this afternoon, Senior!"

"Then what about your 11K?"

"Ah, if Senior is here, there must be more than that! After this year, Senior's pitching should be even better."

Although Cheng Gongming was not flustered, he was said to be very comfortable. I didn't expect that the prickly boy who said, "I'm a bench player, what a pity, you can't give me a touch" would become like this Admire him, "I didn't expect you to become so polite and reasonable now. Of course, I'm now Daoshi's trump card. I'll let you experience my strength this afternoon."

"Hey, Naruto." The catcher looked at the boasted trump card from behind, and easily leaked the afternoon's arrangement.

"What's wrong! I can't even talk to my lovely junior." Cheng Gong turned around and said, "Hey, tell me secretly, who is throwing the ball this afternoon?"

Gao Zhiye showed a distressed expression: "Senior Chenggong, don't embarrass me, how could I know the supervisor's arrangement."

"Don't lie to me—" Cheng Gongming wanted to continue asking, but was interrupted by a familiar voice.

"Ah, isn't this Naruto? Why are you pestering our first grade here?"
