So Ordinary I Want to Be Recognized

He strikes a pitch again.

The audience in the field immediately gave warm cheers to the ace who led the whole team forward.

finally...

In the eyes of everyone's anticipation, he threw a difficult ball with all his strength.

but...

The calm-eyed striker in front of him just hit it out with quick precision, dropped the bat, and galloped off at breakneck speed.

"Come on!" The same shout was given to two different teams from the auditorium.

A somewhat exhausted outfielder ran hard, caught up to the ball, and picked it up.

However, when he turned around and was about to send back, he found that...

The opponent's offensive player has already successfully forced the base in turn.

This also means...

They dropped the point and lost the final.

then...

His whole body seemed to be broken, and he lost all his energy all of a sudden.

His weak hands also let go of the baseball he was gripping tightly, allowing it to fall to the ground and bounce several times.

All members of the opposing team have rushed onto the field, embracing their teammates and celebrating this exciting victory.

"The winner is born! Let us congratulate the champion of this Dream Cup... Shonan Middle School team!" The commentary of the game announced the result of the final.

"Ah..." Accepting this fact blankly, the nervous and excited mood that Mijinzhuo had been maintaining all the time suddenly sank.

Obviously, we have reached the finals...

Obviously, just a little bit...

It is so regrettable.

"We lost. However, although there is indeed a gap in strength, the game was quite exciting." Kato Megumi, who seemed to feel the sadness of his sweetheart, but also felt a little uncomfortable, said comforting words.

"I just think it's a pity..." Mizunzho took a deep breath as he stared at the cheering victors in the camera.

However...

"Look..." The girl who said so suddenly pointed to her mobile phone and gestured to the boy.

Mizutaka followed her fingers and looked over.

What appeared on the phone screen was the captain with a relieved smile.

Still wearing his helmet and gloves, he strolled across the field, passing his downcast players one by one, patting them on the shoulders and backs, trying to cheer them up.

His opponents and spectators immediately realized something after noticing his behavior.

Immediately after...

There was respectful applause from the sidelines.

"We would also like to thank the Sakura House representative team, they did their best to present us with a wonderful game. Last year they were only the top eight, but this year they entered the final! Will this dark horse make a comeback next year? Will it bring us more surprises? Let us wait and see!" The commentary also said such a paragraph at the right time.

After a while.

The lads who had regained some spirit formed a neat line.

Facing the same team that had defeated their opponents, they showed serious and serious expressions, and then...

Together with the opposing team, they bowed deeply at the same time.

"Thank you for your advice!"

Such a uniform voice sounded.

After that, they formed a line and began to shake hands with each other one by one.

The audience gave their applause again.

"Although there are some regrets in the children's eyes,... they don't regret at all." Megumi Kato, who observed all this through the live broadcast, said softly.

"That's right..." Mizunzuo, who agreed so, couldn't help thinking of a sentence.

Youth... may not be perfect.

However, as long as you don't feel regretful, it will be your own, good memory, right?

He clenched his fist slightly.

after all...

Regret can also be a beautiful word, can't it?

but...

The boy turned his head and looked at Ms. Kato who was still blinking and watching the curtain call and award ceremony.

It's just that when facing her, he always tries to give her...some kind of perfection.
