Diamond Ace Takanono

Chapter 26 The True Ace II
"Hey-hi-you finished pitching yesterday, and you must have practiced pitching in the team today, so thirty or so balls are enough." Miyuki patted the golden-haired ace on the shoulder as if coaxing a child.

Narimiya's face was about to hit Yuyuki's face, he snorted and stepped aside, but he didn't forget what he said at the door before, 'I don't know how to watch your pitch'.

So he twisted his face, deliberately sat aside, half propped his legs up, squinted his eyes and said, "I'm so sleepy, I'm really tired after casting."

Narimiya Naruto's complaint dragged on for a long time, and was taken as the background sound by Takanono and Miyuki who were confronting at this time.

"Senior Miyuki, I never said, I'm going to pitch." Takano said with a disinterested expression.

"Eh? Could it be that you got scared after seeing Naruto throwing the ball?" With a smirk at the corner of his mouth, Miyuki even looked at Narimiya Naruto who was pretending to be asleep.

Takano was originally aiming at Narimiya Naruto's pitch, but now that he saw it, he had achieved his goal. At this moment, he was misunderstood maliciously, and the fire in his heart suddenly lit up: "Senior Miyuki, do you know why the pitchers are all against you?" Is the relationship with you very bad? It's because your personality is too distorted and you can never speak properly. "

"Eh? But Naruto and I have a very good relationship." Miyuki looked at Narimiya Naruto who was quietly pretending to be asleep.

Gao Zhiye widened his eyes a little, and said with an expression of 'let me tell you the truth': "That's because Narimiya-senpai is also a person with a twisted personality."

Before Miyuki could fight back, Narimiya Naruto, who was supposed to be resting over there, jumped up: "You crazy junior, ahhh, it's a pity you can't cause a fight, otherwise I will definitely hit you with my speedball."

Gao Zhiye, who has successfully achieved today's goal, also revealed his true nature: "It's a pity, I am an audience player, even if you want to throw me a touch ball on the court, you can't do it."

"It's really crazy." Miyuki also saw Takano getting serious, and put away his smile, "But since you are a pitcher, you have to rely on your strength to speak. If you don't let us see your pitching, then you are just arrogant boy."

Cheng Gongming hid behind Yuxing, poked his head out to agree: "That's right, this ace let you see my pitching, but you want to run after seeing it?"

. . .Why can these two people say such unreasonable things, but still be righteous.

It's okay anyway, after running so far, Gao Zhiye didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand.

"What...what's the matter?" Cheng Gongming, who was being stared at, was suddenly extinguished a bit.

"Gloves, I really didn't think about pitching today. I thought I would just practice hitting at most, so I let my brother bring back all the equipment."

"Oh..."

Gao Zhiye, who got the gloves, turned around and walked towards the opposite side. Without the oppression from the opposite side, Cheng Gongming jumped up again.

"Yeah, this guy is completely a villain, a villain, he smiles very crookedly, and is so scary when he is fierce."

"Ah, maybe you're scared."

"No!" Miyuki pushed Narimiya Ming aside.

Then he squatted down and waved his hands casually.

Takano paused when he threw the ball, "Senior Miyuki, don't you give orders?"

"It's long-winded, anyway, you only know how to straight the ball, so throw it well into my glove." Miyuki, who had discussed with Akira Hayakawa, knew Takano's characteristics very well.

Takano nodded, then raised his leg and kicked the ground, shot, and the ball landed firmly in the center of Miyuki's glove.

Miyuki received the ball, shook unconsciously, and then passed it back to Takano, this time he put the glove under the half ball where it was just now.

Another ball hit the center of the glove, and Cheng Gongming, who was shouting "the ball is so slow", also whispered a little.

The third ball, half a ball further down, Miyuki didn't move the glove position, the ball automatically jumped to the center of his glove like a cub returning home.

'No, this pitcher is even more exciting than what Hayakawa described. '

The fourth ball, half ball to the right.

Fifth ball. . . .

Gradually, after [-] balls, no one made a sound, only the sweet spot sound when the ball accurately found the glove.

"Self-targeting missiles, it seems that what Nozawa-kun said is not an exaggeration at all. With such a ball, it is like a sniper rifle owned by a soldier who can point to where to hit, like a commander has a special soldier who is determined to carry out the mission to the end. ability to execute tactics. . . '

Miyuki received another ball, at this moment his glove has moved from left to right, thirty balls, exactly according to the moving distance of half ball and half ball, "When I first met one, that one would float up and down straight ball."

But Gao Zhiye didn't buy it: "No, you don't care, but the one behind is going to play against us in a few days."

Miyuki turned around, and saw that Narimiya Naruto, who was absent-minded just now, had moved to the net behind him, so that he could observe Takano's throwing.

"Eh? Could it be that this is a unique skill passed down from generation to generation in your club?" Miyuki joked.

"It's hard to say, so straight ball, do you still want to catch it?"

"If you want, come on." So the two teamed up and shot more than 30 balls.

Under the current weather, Takano, who has thrown more than 60 pitches, has been sweating for a long time, and the sweat on his hands is sticking to his gloves. Under the surprised eyes of Miyuki and Narimiya Ming, he took out a wet tissue and a tissue, and put After wiping the inside of the glove clean, it was passed to Cheng Gongming.

The Golden Retriever Ace didn't react, he was taken aback, and said "Thank you." Then he reacted, his face became more interesting, "Takano-kun, after the game, let me see your other two Go straight."

"My straight ball is not that good, so please deal with the seniors of our team seriously. Although they don't have high-speed balls, they are not easy to deal with."

"Cut," Cheng Gongming looked like a trump card at this moment. He didn't make any fuss, but said calmly, "I will go all out in every game."

Because it was getting late, the three of them were still students and couldn't stay for too long, so they packed up their things and left.

Miyuki and Narimiya Naruto were talking about the route back, and several of them had to take a bus on the big street. Only then did Takano realize that he seemed to have been tricked from the beginning.

"I'd better run back, I've only shot a few shots, I'm so upset." Cheng Gongming said at the top of his voice.

"Hey, it will take 20 minutes."

"Why don't you run back, you can run home in 40 minutes, this time is just right for you to sweat."

Takano kept his mouth shut and fell behind, hehe, if he ran home, it would take about 1 hour and 40 minutes.

Yu Xing, this guy really just asked himself casually, damn it, he still ran so far to meet them.

"Gao Jun, how long will it take you to run back?" Just as the two people in front had finished talking, they asked Gao Zhiye casually.

"...about an hour."

"That's still a bit far away." Cheng Gongming didn't think much at all, and turned his head away again.

But the damned Miyuki Kazuya stared at Gao Zhiye and said with a smile: "Wow, then Gao Jun, you run a little fast."

A hashtag burst out on his forehead, and Takano understood how much Miyuki knew about his information. The only person who had been to his house was Akira Hayakawa, but Akira Hayakawa was a funnel, and he couldn't hide anything from Miyuki.

What's more, Miyuki mouthed "It's almost as fast as a car", and Takano, who understood it, burst out another large hashtag.

He suspected that if he walked with this person again, he could not help but explode, so he decisively changed the route and separated from the two people at the next intersection.

"Huh—" Without the annoying Miyuki and the noisy Narimiya Naruto, Takano's ears were temporarily liberated. Originally, he wanted to send a text message to Hayakawa to complain, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. Miyuki was also yesterday's Huang Hua, he is going to go to high school soon, and his family is in East Tokyo, so there is a high probability that he will not meet each other often.

So the most important thing now is to tell Hayakawa all the information he just inquired from Narimiya Ming.

"Nari Gongming showed you his finger ball? He has basically used a straight ball with a slider in these few games. From the home plate, how is his finger ball complete?" Hayakawa Qiu replied quickly.

"It's sharp, and it doesn't drop until home plate, mixed with the straight ball, it's easy to miss."

"I see, I will tell the coach. So you are with Miyuki today, don't you dislike him very much?"

"...Don't mention him, anyway, after seeing Cheng Gongming's pitching, he is completely useless."

"...So you still hate him, thanks for your hard work, but he is a very good catcher."

"Nobody wants to pitch to his catcher?"

"That's not necessarily true, Gao Jun."

Thinking back on today's pitching, Takano has to say that Akira Hayakawa's words are very objective. In terms of the ability to catch the ball alone, Miyuki is pretty good. Although his ball is very accurate, Miyuki's gloves are never laced by the ball. It is very stable, combined with the strong shoulders observed in the previous game, probably the catcher of the first army is no problem at all.

The bus was shaking, and Takano, who had been staring at the phone screen, was a little dizzy. He put down the phone and couldn't help but think of Narimiya Ming's pitching. A pitcher with both speed, sharpness, and change. Ace pitcher, sure enough, Senior Nozawa is not a good subject to observe.

"I want to watch a few more balls," Takano murmured.

Within a few days, his wish came true, but with bitterness, the sound of the air defense siren sounded again, and the big number "1:0" on the scoreboard, his team lost to the ace pitcher.

Everyone in the auditorium stood up together, looked at the familiar faces in the team, the depressed ones, the ones with tears on their faces, the ones with mud on their faces, and shook hands with them. The awesome auditorium beckoned. Although Gao Zhiye didn't meet Narimiya Ming's eyes, he knew that Narumiya Ming was showing off to him, "Look, I really won."

Maybe it was driven by the atmosphere, or maybe it was the influence of those faces that only had triumphant smiles since we met, Gao Zhiye tasted the bitterness in his mouth, and after licking it lightly, he realized that he was crying.

They have experienced so many victories in fact, it is not important at all. Only after accepting failure and humiliation together with the same identity can a group of people unite. It is from this time that Gao Zhiye has truly integrated into this group.

　What to do, I think if I continue to write like this, maybe Miyuki invites Takano to go to Qingdao, but he will refuse instead. . .

　　But Miyuki's character is so annoying, why not give Takano a surprise in Qingdao, hehe
