King's Green Road

Chapter 34 Part34 Promotion
Another cloudless day the next day

"Eijun, have you finished your self-criticism?"

Kominato Haruichi made an appointment with Furutani and Eijun on the training ground after class in the afternoon, remembering that the supervisor had asked Eijun to write a self-criticism, so he asked casually.

"Oh?! Eijun...╮(╯▽╰)╭"

Seeing that Rongchun hadn't turned back to him, Xiaomin Haruichi saw Rongchun's resentful little eyes, and after a moment of silence, he thought he understood.

"Chunshi, I think according to our friendship, some things are suitable to be seen through, otherwise I feel that our boat will capsize at any time."

At this time, Rong Chun also faintly said a wronged word.

"Ah Yiyi, it's too bad, I only wrote about [-] words, it's so uncomfortable, it's all Jiang Gu's fault!"

In the next second, Rongchun's painting style changed drastically. After finishing speaking, he pointed to Jiang Guxiao who was beside him with an innocent expression.

"What does it have to do with me? It's obviously your own problem!"

Jiang Gu, who was accused, said that he did not carry the blame, and he did such a stupid thing in the game, so he would not be like this stupid idiot. After thinking about yesterday's game, he was happy. (`)**
"Hmph, it's your fault."

"no!"

"that is!"

The two of them walked towards the stadium noisyly, and Chunshi said that I was really the extra one.

At this time, the bullpen of Qingdao Baseball Stadium

"call out!"

"Snapped!!"

The one who is warming up to pass and catch the ball is Tanba Koichiro, who was injured in the three-school cross-training match, the man who bears the title of Seido's ace.

"One ball at a time, take your time to get back to the previous ball feel, don't worry."

Supervisor Kataoka watched Tanba, who returned to the bullpen to practice pitching after a month, and only gave a little advice.

"After the warm-up is over, let Miyuki help you squat and catch!"

"Yes!"

Miyuki was a little surprised at the beginning that the supervisor would let Tanba-senpai start preparations so early, but thinking that after winning two more games, it would be a match against the city's third high school, so it should be to make him full of fighting spirit to meet the city's third high school. Quarterfinals.

From the fate that started in junior high school to now becoming the ace pitcher of different schools, we can deeply feel his dedication to this summer preliminaries from Tanba senior's pitching.

Although the state has not recovered, it is still a bit unsatisfactory, it will be better if it recovers slowly.

. . . . .

"Ah, that's Tanba-senpai, has he recovered from his injury?"

The three of Xiaominchunshi had just arrived at the stadium, and he was the first to notice the movement over the bullpen.

"ε=(ο｀*))) huh?"

Eijun and Furutani heard the words and looked over, and it was Tanba-senior who hadn't seen for a long time, who was practicing throwing, and the supervisor and Miyuki were also there.

"Since the supervision is here, it should be."

Eijun looked at Tanba's state of warming up and throwing, and frowned slightly. This state is not as good as before the injury, but after all, he just returned from injury.

"Then Tanba-senpai should be able to join the summer preliminaries soon? Then you two should work hard. After Tanba-senpai returns, you may have fewer chances to pitch in the game."

"I won't lose!"

"Yeah! You see, this guy Fugu is so motivated. I still start in left field. Even if I don't get on the mound, I can still start the game. It's much better than Furugu."

Eijun didn't care too much about whether Tanba-senpai would join the next game and come back to pitch immediately, and whether he would lose the chance to get on the mound.

"What are you doing here?! Don't go to training yet."

Chris just glanced at the three first-year guys on the court just now, but saw that their attention was attracted by Danbo who was pitching, so he quietly came behind them, wanting to hear what they were talking about. idea.

He really didn't expect Rongchun, a junior, to be so inactive in thinking. You are a pitcher, and you must be so proud of starting left field here. I'm afraid you have forgotten your own job.

"Senior Chris!!!" Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

When the three little ones heard the voice, they immediately turned their heads, with an expression of being caught.

"Jiang Gu and Rong Chun, let's run [-] laps before practicing pitching today. I think you are in good spirits."

"Yes!" (ㄒoㄒ)
Under Chris' gaze, Kominato Haruichi said obediently, "I'm going to find my brother to practice swinging. See you, Senior Chris!"

After finishing speaking, he trotted away, left his two little friends behind so ruthlessly, and slipped away alone.

. . . . . . . .

"It's so hot!"

"I always feel that the weather today is very stuffy!" Furuya, a friend from Hokkaido, really didn't expect the summer in Tokyo to be so hot, it was unbearable, and the sweat kept dripping.

"This is the biggest challenge you'll face this summer, Fall Valley!"

Eijun looked at Akatsuki Jianggu who was already dripping with sweat after running for two laps, said something very meaningful, and then passed Jianggu and ran forward.

"The tone of your speech is the same as last time. I will not lose to you."

Although Jiang Guxiao is relatively cold and not very good at interacting with people, she still cherishes the friends who take the initiative to show friendship with her, and she is also very understanding of the emotional changes of the friends.

Especially Sawamura, a little friend, sometimes feels like two people, but when he looks closely, he finds that it seems to be his own illusion. Although he thinks his intuition is right, it may not be 100% accurate.

"You think too much, I think you don't want to lose to me, and you are spreading rumors about me!"

"╭(╯^╰)╮Hmph!" Jiang Gu didn't bother to talk to the nervous Rong Chun, and ran forward with his head covered.

"Asshole (╬￣盘￣), ran away without listening to what I had to say, I was so mad."

The two of them were very unwilling to admit defeat and ran after each other.

Then. . . .Then. . . .

After twenty laps, the two of them turned into a pile of waste, lying on the ground like a water-deficient puppy, wanting to stick out their tongues and gasp for air, feeling as if their lungs could not absorb any air.

"Ah, what's going on with these two guys?!"

Rei Takashima had just come out of the faculty office, and was about to see the players' practice. He happened to run into Chris, thinking that the two first-year players were with Chris recently, so he took a look first.

As a result, I saw two people lying on the ground out of breath.

"Before, I saw that they were very energetic, so I asked them to run for twenty laps. But I didn't expect these two guys to not know how to control their speed. It seemed that they ran with all their strength."

Chris really felt that neither of these two guys was reassuring, and his head hurt.

"So this is ah!"

"Wait a minute, you two, go to the bullpen to practice pitching after you move your shoulders!"

"Yes!" As soon as Jiang Guxiao heard that he could go to throw the ball, he immediately regained his energy and jumped up from the ground in an instant. His whole body seemed to be reborn, and the things that just lay on the ground did not exist.

Eijun said that this guy Jiang Gu is not ordinary, he is so energetic when he hears the pitch, he should continue to lie down for a while.

Rei Takashima is very satisfied with Fuguya who is so active in pitching, but whoever is lying on the ground, will your performance be too bad?

"Jiang Gu, you have to work hard for the next game!"

"Until Danbo comes back, you are the ace of our team!"

Takashima Rei felt that if he didn't come a little bit harder, Eijun didn't know why Hua'er was so popular.

"Come on!" Chris turned his head and understood the meaning of Takashima Rei's two-pronged approach.

Jiang Guxiao: *(ˊˋ*)*, the whole person is rippling, ace! !
Eijun also understood what this meant, and expressed his dissatisfaction and shock with a cooperative face.

Rei Takashima and Chris are also satisfied that their method has a little effect.

. . . . . . . .

meeting room at night
Director Kataoka started announcing the starting lineup after Chris finished the information about their next round opponent, a metropolitan school, Du Murata Higashi.

"Tomorrow's starters and batting numbers will be the same as in Game [-]."

"No matter who the opponent is, you must take it seriously."

"Yes!"

"Also, Sawamura, when can you hand in your review!"

At this time before the end of the meeting, Director Kataoka did not forget to ask Eijun to review the mistakes made in the game.

"Hahaha!"

"Thinking about it now, it's still so funny!"

"It's such a stupid thing to do."

Hearing the ruthless mocking voices of the seniors around him, Rong Chun really wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in. The seniors were so uncaring for their juniors that they felt so sad that they wanted to cry. (T_T)
"It will be handed over to the supervisor tomorrow night."

"Well, then I'll wait, and don't make the same mistake again in tomorrow's game, you know?"

"Yes! I see, Supervisor."

Supervisor Kataoka said to Eijun that he should be ruthless. It is not a good sign to make him feel that he has indulged him too much.

. . . . . . .

July 7, cloudless, sunny and the temperature is 20 ℃

Today there will be three games at the Fuchu Civic Stadium. The first game is the match between the rich club Seidou and the metropolitan high school Tomurata Higashi, the second game is Tsuchikusa vs. The winner of Dushenshan will be the opponent in the fourth round of Seido.

In the first match between Qingdao and Tomura Tiandong, at the beginning of the match, the audience was excited and cheered one after another.

As the starting pitcher, Jiang Guxiao started the game with all his strength, without any reservations.

The high-speed ball with a speed of about 150km/h, one ball after another, is really a feast of pitching, but the shortcomings of ball control are also obvious. Controlled flying.

The batter of Tomura Tiandong really felt that his life was under considerable threat. The first-year pitcher of Seido seemed to be throwing more vigorously than in the first game. It was too scary.

At the end of the three rounds, Dumura Tiandong's round of play was completely blocked. Compared with the previous Mimenxi High School's score, Qingdao's score was not so exaggerated against Dumura Tiandong, but he also scored in the first two games. It's a difference of eight points.

"Really, I told you not to rush so hard at the beginning, and if you don't listen to other people's advice, you will be exhausted if you continue, so watch it."

During the exchange of offense and defense, Miyuki was also very worried about Fuguya's overly brave performance today.

"I won't fall!"

Because I am the trump card, I can't help but feel turbulent when I think of this.

Returning to the rest area in a turbulent mood, he met Supervisor Kataoka's gaze head-on, "The vote was good, and I will leave it to Kawakami."

"Yes! (〒︿〒)"

Not long after being happy, he was replaced.

Eijun, who is a difficult brother, still stood upright on the court this time and was not replaced.

In the three innings, he played a total of three hits, one Yangchun home run, two hits, and three points. His performance was still excellent.

The most important thing is that he didn't make any mistakes today, and he was moved to tears.

Kenshi Kawakami, who played in the fourth inning, still performed steadily. The pitcher who played as a reliever suppressed Tomura Tiandong's intention to counterattack very well. Although one or two hitters were on the base during the process, they were all stable. Passed with zero points.

After Kawakami took the last out in the fifth inning, Tsumura Tato, who was the first attacker, announced that Aodo had successfully advanced to the fourth round.

"salute!"

"Please advise!"

An overwhelming victory with a score of 17:0.

"Ah, Qing Dao, the first-year pitcher Yi Jiang Gu Xiao, is really amazing!"

"This first grader's pitching is really strong!"

"Qing Dao's lane play is also as strong as ever!"

"It seems that this year's Qing Dao also needs to pay more attention!"

Amidst the admiration from the audience, there was a man who came to watch the game wearing a pair of glasses and looked like a gentle ascetic, and he really said that it was no big deal.

"Such a guy who doesn't know how to control the rhythm and only knows how to throw the ball with brute force. The Japanese baseball I admire is a more delicate and deeper sport." While polishing his nails, he looked at Qingdao, a first-year pitcher self-mumbling.

Afterwards, he took his team members and left the auditorium.

"Shun, this first-year pitcher in Qingdao is really good, the ball is very fast, and almost all of them rely on strikeouts to knock out batters."

"This kind of pitcher who only has fast ball speed, there are many ways to deal with him."

Ming Chuan’s ace Yang Shunchen said that he doesn’t pay attention to this kind of pitcher. “What we should be wary of is Qingdao’s terrifying lineup, the ace pitcher who has never made it to the mound, and the second-year pitcher who played in the reliever.”

"Shun's words are still as reliable as ever."

"We also have to prepare for our next game..."

"That's right..."

. . . . . . .

"After packing up all the luggage and finishing the body exercises, we will watch the meal on the stage. After that, everyone will watch the third game together, because the winning side will be our opponent in the next game."

Director Kataoka glanced at the players who were packing up and informed them of the next itinerary.

"Yes!"

Eijun paused when he heard Supervisor Kataoka's words. Their opponent in the fourth round of Qingdao, Mingchuan Academy, is a strong opponent. Of course, it is limited to their ace pitcher Yang Shunchen.

It was also this game that made him stand out, however. . . ~(ー｀～) Well, he hasn’t been on the mound until now. I don’t know if the supervisor will let him play this time against Mingchuan Academy, although he is not in a hurry.

As for when he can be on the mound, it depends on what the supervisor thinks.

Now is the time to appreciate the pitching of Mingchuan ace Yang Shun-sin, who is known as a precision machine in Tokyo. This is a guy with a very strong ball handling level! !

　I feel that I should arrange for Eijun to play and the official shooting practice of Eijun and Miyuki, otherwise there will be no suitable opportunities for writing (*^▽^*)
