my girlfriend is bad lady

Chapter 294 294. Plum Rain (End)

Che Watanabe stood on the mound, and the other eight members of Kamigawa dispersed and took their positions.

The first hitter from Qingshan Private School walked up to the batter's bench with a swing in hand.

"Watanabe! Watanabe!" On the left, the Shenchuan support team in the audience shouted in unison.

In the auditorium on the right, the support team of Qingshan Academy was also shouting.

There are more than 300 people on both sides, but the momentum cannot be underestimated. It makes the sparse audience look sideways, which is more eye-catching than the competition.

After the first hitter from Aoyama Private School adjusted his swing position and the umpire standing behind the catcher made a gesture, Che Watanabe could throw the ball.

As for pitching, he learned a little bit about it when he was training with Xiu Kuni.

To be more specific, there is only the rule of the strike zone.

The so-called strike zone is the area where hitters can easily hit is the strike zone, which is used to limit pitchers-so Kuni Osamu said at the time.

'It's not easy for a pitcher to pitch where the opponent is easy to hit. ' Watanabe recalled in his mind, while posing a very standard pitching posture.

The above is all his knowledge and actions about baseball.

He put on a pitching pose, and instead of being quiet, the cheers from Kamikawa were even louder.

Just as the woman shouted "Watanabe! Watanabe!", Che Watanabe threw the ball.

With a dull sound of "Bang!", the ball fell into the catcher's mitt.

"A good shot!" The referee behind the catcher said something unclear.

"what--"

"Watanabe! Watanabe!"

"Aoyama! Aoyama! Aoyama!" The cheerleading team of Aoyama private school seems to be more than that of Kamikawa.

The catcher threw the ball back to Watanabe Che. Watanabe adjusted his grip while looking at Aoyama's first hitter, who didn't swing just now.

'It's enough to do this. He glanced at the auditorium and confirmed that the two eldest ladies and wives are safe.

Lift your leg and throw the ball.

"Bang—" the sound was crisp, the ball was hit by the bat and rolled out.

After confirming the hit, Aoyama's first hitter dropped his baseball bat and ran towards Osamu Kuni at first base.

When Watanabe Che was watching the hitter run, the kicked ball suddenly flew out from behind him and rushed towards Osamu Kuni.

Osamu Kuni caught the ball neatly.

"One out!" the referee near Osamu Kuni shouted.

"It seems embarrassing." Watanabe Che adjusted his baseball cap, walked off the mound, and walked towards the coach's bench.

When he was about to walk out of the court, Osamu Kuni held him and looked at him in disbelief:
"Where are you going?"

"Aren't you out?"

"...The batter just now is out! You bastard!" Osamu Kuni yelled, "With me here, they don't even want to hit first base!"

"I see." Watanabe Che turned and walked back to the mound.

"The place where Guojing stands is called first base. Just now, the batter hit the ball and ran there immediately. When he reached first base, he scored?Or forget it. '

Only playing this game, there is no need to think about the rules at all.

"It's time to do it now" Watanabe looked at the second hitter from Aoyama Private School.

Let the opponent miss the ball.

The second hitter is in place, the catcher crouches, and the umpire behind the catcher is fully focused.

'How can the opponent miss it? Watanabe Che glanced at the auditorium again, thinking casually in his head.

"For the first pitch, the hitter deliberately didn't swing the bat and observed the way of the ball; for the second pitch, he hit a direct hit and almost hit a single. Watanabe-kun is very dangerous." Mrs. Yuki, Watanabe's first baseball fan, Said happily.

"Shame." Miki Yuki was unhappy and decided to punish him at night.

Rin Kiyono yawned gracefully.

The temperature was neither hot nor cold, there was no wind, and the cheerleaders on both sides kept shouting.

'Miss because the ball is too slow?Then try it quickly. 'Che Watanabe raised his leg and assumed a standard pose.

Aoyama's second hitter held the bat in both hands and stared at Che Watanabe.

The first hitter told him that the pitcher in front of him, who came from nowhere, just threw two straight balls with average speed, and the position was in the middle of the strike zone.

There is no better ball to hit.

The question is, the opponent's defense is very strong, can they run to first base?

No, I run very fast. If I hit the ball well enough, I might even hit second base.
"A strike!" the referee shouted.

Qingshan's second hitter: "."

Average ball speed?Was it 140km/h just now?Absolutely have it!

"Beautiful!" The catcher threw the ball back.

Watanabe Che catches the ball thrown back by the catcher.

'The speed of the ball just now should be fine...No, the previous batter didn't swing the first bat either, and his expression was equally calm. '

'Considering the possibility of not swinging the first bat is a tactic, it is safer to use a little more force for the second ball. '

Watanabe Che raised his leg, swung his arm, and threw the ball.

Harsh wind.

At that moment, the catcher who had been facing the fastball for many years had nothing to do with courage, the ball rushed towards him like a cannonball, and he instinctively closed his eyes.

'It's over!mistake! '

As soon as the idea of ​​a catcher came up, the baseball glove in his left hand sent a drilling force that wanted to pierce through the palm of his hand!
"Two strikes!" The referee shouted.

"Nice Ball!" With the slight paralysis of his left hand, the catcher shouted excitedly, and threw the ball back to Che Watanabe.

Qingshan's second hitter: "."

Watanabe Che caught the ball easily, full of doubts like the hitter.

The catcher suddenly speaks English?baseball rules?

In this way, baseball seems to have originated in the United States.

'This kind of ball speed seems to be enough to deal with Aoyama. Watching the nervous expression of the second hitter, Watanabe Che confirmed.

Lift your leg and throw the ball.

"Three strikes! Batter out!"

Following the referee's voice, the second batter walked back to the Aoyama Private School's bench with a bat in his hand and a suspicious expression on his face.

Watanabe Che caught the ball thrown back by the catcher, looked for a comfortable foothold on the pitcher's mound with his feet, and looked towards the audience.

The ladies are safe, ma'am
"Watanabe! Watanabe!" When did she join Kamikawa's cheerleading squad?

Cheerleaders?
Watanabe Che finally remembered that there was still such a group of people, looked over with both eyes, and then immediately looked back.

Although the skirt is short, it is all safety pants like shorts.

'If this continues, the game of baseball will lose its charm sooner or later. Watanabe Che looked at the third hitter at Aoyama Private School.

When the opponent got into position, and he was about to pose for the pitch, the catcher's ungloved hand suddenly made an inexplicable movement in the crotch.

Watanabe Che: "."

It can be guessed that it is making a code, but such a thing as a code is born so that laymen cannot easily understand it.

'do you understand? 'The catcher cast such a simple and easy-to-understand look, and at the same time moved his position slightly.

"." Watanabe Che shook his head.

The movement of the catcher pauses, and then quickly strokes the crotch again.

Before he finished making gestures, Che Watanabe shook his head directly.

If you don't understand, you don't understand.

Even if he is number one in the country, it is impossible to understand what the other party is expressing.

"." The catcher returned to the starting position and put the glove in the middle of the strike zone.

Watanabe Che raised his leg and threw the ball.

The ear-piercing wind sounded again.

Because of the experience just now, although the catcher doesn't know how Watanabe Che is able to handle the ball, at least he is sure that he has a certain ability to handle the ball, so he doesn't have to worry about hitting himself.

He opened his eyes and looked at this ball with a speed of almost 160km/h based on his years of experience in catching the ball. The ball fell into the ball like a shell.

Slight numbness in the palms increased.

"A strike!" the referee shouted.

'The two balls have about the same speed.' The catcher throws the ball back in the holster.

'Baseball, it seems a bit boring. 'Thinking, Watanabe Che mechanically threw the second ball.

"Two strikes!"

The catcher throws the ball back, and Watanabe's third pitch with no change in speed.

"Three strikes! Three outs! Swap!"

"Watanabe! Watanabe!"

After shouting, they sang the school song cheerfully in unison.

"Yotani hills, the school building where crows fly by, our alma mater, Kamikawa!"

On the large scoreboard in the distance, Qingshan Academy scored zero in the second half of the second sentence.

'Three batters are out and a game is over. Watanabe Che thought about the baseball rules, and walked towards the coach's bench.

"Watanabe!" Osamu Kuni trotted over, "You know how powerful I am, I beat all your balls during training!"

"Aoyama Private School is too weak." Watanabe Che took off his gloves.

"There is also this reason. I can hit a straight ball like yours no matter how fast it is!"

"I only play straight balls."

The catcher, who was about to come up to talk, closed his mouth again when he heard this sentence.

After the Kamikawa cheerleaders sang the school song, they started shouting again: "Watanabe! Come on! Kamikawa! First!"

The opposing school did not show weakness: "Qingshan! Come on!"

During the short break, the cheerleaders of both sides shouted and competed with each other across the fan-shaped field.

The cheers were very strong, and the empty stadium that could seat 3 people was full of their voices.

"Watanabe-kun!" The female manager came over with a towel and water, "That's great! It completely suppressed the opponent's line-up!"

"Good luck." Watanabe Che said.

"It's not luck! The ball is very, very fast! By the way, here are the towels and water!"

"Thank you, I'm not thirsty and I'm not sweating."

"Then I'll give you a massage! Continuously throw high-speed balls, and your arms need to be relaxed in time!"

"Thank you, I'm not tired at all."

"No customers"

"Yu Jizi," Kuni Osamu rubbed his arm, "Give me a massage, it hurts."

Kobayashi glared at him from Jizi with his hips on his hips: "You didn't do anything, did you! Mr. Watanabe struck out three strikers all by himself!"

"My second ball was obviously missed."

"Was it hard for Watanabe-kun? He only caught one ball! Watanabe-kun threw three balls!" Yukiko Kobayashi looked down at Osamu Kuni.

".No."

When the second row quarreled, Kamigawa's first hitter had already stepped onto the court.

The coach looks at the batter's bench and asks the catcher, "How's it going?"

"The ball is fast," the catcher replied.

"Can he play?"

The catcher looked at the hitter on the field, and it was Kamigawa's ace pitcher Uchida.

Uchida's ball speed is not as fast as Watanabe's, but it is not slow either. The highest record is 150km/h. In Koshien, it may not be the fastest, but it is definitely the top pitcher and has the strength to win the championship.

Coupled with the lineup composed of strong sticks such as Kuni Osamu, everyone's goal this year is to be the champion.

This is also the reason why the baseball department dared to promise that 'Koshien will give everyone a seat at the school gate if they don't make it to the finals'.

Watanabe Che, the star figure of the school, the club is the legendary Human Observation Department, belongs to the cultural club, only met a few times in the playground.

Even if the ball is fast, it will only go straight..After all, is the ball speed really 160km/h?
That kind of monster-level ball speed can definitely go to the United States to dominate the major leagues!

Calm down now, think about it carefully, maybe it was just facing the fast high-speed ball directly, which gave him an illusion.

He never took the ball at 160km/h.

Not to mention Shenchuan's pitchers, Koshien, this kind of ball speed has only appeared a few times.

Every time it will attract a tsunami of mountains and tsunami, let the commentator spit, and the entire side of the newspaper will print the picture of the pitcher.

Watanabe, who has never been trained, throws such a ball?impossible!
As long as there are no accidents this year, their team will definitely have no problem reaching the semi-finals.

The final needs a little luck, and the championship needs a little luck. Under such circumstances, there is no need to risk Watanabe Che, who has never trained.

And even if Uchida is very powerful, he must cooperate with him, a catcher with one heart and one mind, in order to show his true strength.

Watanabe Che, who can only throw straight balls, and only hits the middle of the strike zone, makes him a catcher almost a robot, no, a robot.

What's the point of winning like that?
However, the numbness in the left hand still remained.
For the sake of winning, for the honor of Kamigawa, even if he squats motionless, he is willing!

All for Kamikawa!All for the sake of dominating Jiashiyuan!

"Coach, I think he"

"Watanabe! Watanabe! Ah——!!!"

Even though Watanabe Che was not on the field, he was on the bench where the support team could not see. On the field was the ace pitcher Uchida who was running towards first base. There were still many people shouting Watanabe Che's name above his head.

"...Coach, he only has ball speed, nothing but ball speed."

"Ah."

The catcher was fat and folded his arms, watching ace Uchida sprint to base with aplomb.

'Watanabe, you are popular enough in Kamigawa, Koshien, the sacred stadium, you will never be allowed to trample on it! '

The hitters had already decided the order at the beginning, and Watanabe Che had no chance to play.

Kuni Osamu played as the fourth batter.

The first pitch thrown by the Qingshan private school pitcher was simply and neatly knocked into the air by him.

With little hesitation, as if he knew he could hit it, he dropped the bat and ran towards first base.

In the end, he stepped on the second base opposite the batter's bench. At the same time, Uchida, who was originally on third base, ran back to the home base smoothly, helping Kamikawa score a run.

The player who was originally on first base, ran past second base, was touched on the way to third base, and was out.

With two outs of the batter, Kamikawa could continue to score and could be the fifth batter.

Watanabe Che dealt with the enthusiastic Yukiko Kobayashi, took a look at it, and learned a little more about the rules of baseball:

To score, the batter must run from the batter's bench (home plate) where the fly ball was hit, to first base, second base, third base, and finally back to home plate, in order to score a point.

It seems impossible to keep running in the middle. If the defender gets the ball and touches the runner, the runner will be eliminated directly.

'So the pitcher is the defense? 'Watanabe Che felt that he had started.

Baseball, it's easy.

The pitcher, don't get hit by the ball; the hitter, hit and run, as long as he is not touched by the opponent with the ball, he will keep running.

'If you are the batter yourself, isn't that a sure point? 'Watanabe Che, who runs fast and has [Dodge] skills, thought so in his heart.

In the first half of the third game, Kamikawa scored 3 points.

In the second half, Che Watanabe came on the court, nine quick, simple, boring, but screaming strikes, directly struck out the opponent's three hitters, and immediately started the first half of the fourth inning.

The catcher took off his gloves, looked at his trembling left hand, and at the back of Che Watanabe who was greeting the audience.

Nine balls with the same speed and the same landing point.

This is an absolute talent!
"Crossing" he opened his mouth.

"Watanabe! Watanabe!"

"what--"

"Watanabe! I love you!"

"." The catcher clenched his fist with trembling hands.

He sat next to the ace pitcher Uchida, folded his arms, and lowered his baseball cap:

"Uchida, let's dominate Koshien together."

"Well, come on!"

Watanabe Che is very boring, simple pitching game, and can't enjoy throwing.

As for the cheers of the Kamigawa cheerleaders, he was tired of hearing "Shout my name out loud" at the sports festival last year-it was even stronger than this at the time, and it was the cheers of the whole school.

In the fifth inning, what should have been a nine-inning game ended abruptly after striking out three batters.

"Did the opponent admit defeat?" Watanabe Che asked.

"Score 21:0, end early! Let's go!"

"Where?"

"Curtain call."

Watanabe Che followed the baseball team players to the field, because he was a reserve player among the reserve players, so he stood at the back of the team.

The two schools face each other and stand in a row.

The moment they stood up and took off their hats to salute each other, the air defense siren sounded at the stadium.

The voice of "Woo--" was extremely piercing.

Watanabe Che straightened up, turned around, and ran towards the seats where Miki Yuuki, Rin Kiyono, and Mrs. Yuuki were in the audience.

Because the speed was too fast, when he rushed out of the baseball field, he realized that no one seemed to respond to the air defense siren except him.

"."

In the eyes of Miki Yuki and others watching the joke, he slowed down, took off his baseball cap as if nothing had happened, and flicked the non-existent dust on it.

’ and ended up pulling the air-raid sirens and learning a little bit about baseball. ' He put his baseball cap back on.

"Watanabe! Watanabe!" Although the support team was surprised by his behavior just now, it did not hinder the excitement of seeing Watanabe Che at close range and face to face, and shouted loudly.

"You bastard, do you want to be in such a hurry?" Osamu Kuni and others came over.

The Shenchuan baseball team once again stood in a row, bent down to salute the support team, and shouted in unison:
"thank you very much!"

After the salute, the game is completely over.

When the Kamikawa players who were chatting and laughing left the field, Che Watanabe suddenly heard the sound of cheering from the opposite side.

"Come on, Qingshan! Come on, Qingshan!"

It is the support team of Aoyama Private School.

Eliminated in the first round of the qualifiers, the rainy season has not yet ended, the summer has not really begun, and the Aoyama private school baseball team's trip to Koshien has ended.

They bowed and bowed to the classmates who "it's the weekend, but they came to support", and they didn't look up for a long time.

The few people in the middle lowered their heads and wiped their tears.

Most people hide their expressions under their baseball caps.

"Watanabe-kun, don't sympathize with them!" The female baseball manager held the luggage, "If you win a game, you lose it. Since the day when Koshien was eliminated in the first round last year, we have been training every day, and we are worthy of any victory. !"

"I know, it's very hard." Watanabe Che thought of the baseball team running in the morning every morning, the shouts heard after school every day, and the figure constantly swinging bats on the playground on weekends.

"Watanabe-kun, Dad asked me to ask you, are you interested in formally joining the team?"

"Thank you, but no need, I still have to instruct the flute department."

Jiashiyuan, this stage full of blood, hard work, and dreams, is not a place where he, who has never participated in a day of training and doesn't know the rules, should go to show off.

Back in the auditorium, he was warmly welcomed by the support team and the performance department.

"Watanabe-kun, they didn't let you officially join the team?" Mrs. Yuki was still holding an inflatable ball stick in her hand.

"Invited."

"When's the next game? I'll be here with Rin and Miki to support, by the way, let's call Yuko! Go to Koshien! Go to Koshien!"

Yuko, the name of Mrs. Kiyono.

Kiyono Rin answered:

"I'm going to instruct the wind department, and I'm not interested in baseball, no, all sports, except for liars. People who like sports are my second worst group of people."

As she spoke, her expression became gloomy and cold.

"I have a job, but I'm not free," Yuki Miki said.

"That's Watanabe-kun's game, and it doesn't happen every day. I asked just now. There are only 8 preliminaries at most." Mrs. Yuki said seductively.

Kiyono Rin glanced at Watanabe Che, smiled and said:
"Anyway, it's a game to win, there is no suspense, and it's still a sports game. I don't think there is any value in watching the game."

"Xiao Lin means that as long as Watanabe-kun plays, he will definitely win?" Mrs. Yuki asked.

"I trust my subordinates." Kiyono Rin confidently brushed off her long hair on her shoulders.

"Thank you for your envious speech." Yuuki Miki said with a smile, "but he is mine."

Kiyono Rin looked at her, before she could speak, Watanabe Che quickly said: "They have an invitation, but I declined."

"Refused? What's the reason?" Mrs. Yuki asked, "For male private school students, Koshien should be everyone's dream."

Watanabe Che glanced at the court and said, "That's why I refused."

After hearing this, Rin Kiyono stared at Che Watanabe with cold and charming eyes.

"What's wrong?" he asked strangely.

"Forget it." Kiyono Rin withdrew his gaze.

Glorious and charming long black hair hangs over his chest, and the side face is submerged in the black hair.

Watanabe Che couldn't see her expression clearly.
