[Comprehensive] Kazuya's happy life

He also blinked thoughtfully amidst the grand cheers of the audience.

Although he didn't know what happened, but he had an intuition that it must have something to do with Tsuruga Ren——

Because besides his superstar friend who has the title of "National God", Kazuya really can't think of another person who can cause tens of thousands of spectators in the entire stadium without any wonderful game moments. A huge stir (or should I say... a stir?) of this magnitude.

But having said that, what the hell did Lian do?

The screams of the girls from the auditorium at the back almost deafened his ears!

Not to mention that a few seconds later, the screams that seemed to be uncontrollable all over the venue suddenly stopped without warning, as if someone had slammed the mute button...

He also raised his eyebrows.

But obviously he didn't need to be curious for too long.

Because it was placed on the radio at the side, the unique and high-pitched voice of the live commentary was heard again at this time——

"Oh!! Tsuruga Lian? This is really a huge surprise! It seems that our glass sauce didn't recognize the wrong person before?"

"And Mr. Tsuruga's courage and frankness are also very admirable-I mean, if it were me, in this situation, I would definitely choose to turn around and run away in silence, instead of taking off the camera in front of the close-up follow-up. Sunglasses waving and smiling...uh, and that classic 'shh~' gesture."

"I have to admit that although it did disturb the order of watching the game at the beginning, Mr. Tsuruga's subsequent remedy was very timely and appropriate."

"So, audiences who are currently watching the game at Koshien, just as Mr. Tsuruga suggested, today, in this land of countless miracles and dreams, the person who should be the most concerned is not anyone sitting on the field. The spectators outside, but the players on the field."

"——Of course. It is indeed exciting to see Mr. Tsuruga in real life, but at the same time, please don't forget the most basic etiquette for watching a baseball game live."

"I think that's what Mr. Tsuruga would like to see."

"Don't affect the normal progress of the game because of his arrival."

…………

yes.

It turned out that Lian...had done such a thing.

He unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

He has never worried or hesitated about the fact that Tsuruga Ren came to watch the game live.

A large part of the reason for this is that he trusts Tsuruga Ren——

I believe that even if he is unfortunately recognized, there is a perfect way to ensure that his existence will not disturb the normal order of the game.

And this kind of trust, at this moment, He also hasn't realized how unconditional and... baseless.

at the same time.

When Ikegami, the live commentator in the live broadcast room, used Tsuruga Ren as a "model" to promote the "Koshien Game Watching Rules" (no) , out of Kazuya's line of sight, following Ikegami's rare narration that did not bring too much excitement, but seemed very calm and rational, Tsuruga Ren in the live broadcast camera also smiled, and seemed to be very satisfied with what he said. He nodded in agreement, and without hesitation sent an elegant and appropriate light applause to the camera.

In an instant, the stadium, which was so quiet that you could almost hear a needle drop before, seemed to have been cast with another grand magic. At a speed that made the onlookers feel even a little scary, it changed back to its original appearance in almost seconds——

Countless small conversations converged into a buzzing whisper that echoed throughout the stadium;

The earth-shattering competition and solidarity of the supporters of the two participating teams;

The occasional horn or whistle sounded between games;

Enthusiastic cheers and frequent applause without hesitation...

The staff in the studio who witnessed the whole process of this change were stunned for a moment.

Uh... so they probably underestimated the charm of the national male god Tsuruga?

It’s already scary to go from stormy to calm with just one “shh~”, but now it’s just a smile and nod + applause to make the whole stadium return to the way it was before he appeared. appearance?

"No matter what you think, in short, I'm starting to believe the rumors that he might be a magician who hides his identity and sneaks into the world of ordinary people."

A staff member shivered as he spoke.

The others looked at him speechlessly——

magician?

Are you serious?

"It's easier to accept that he's a natural 'charisma' than a magician."

"No offense. But charisma usually means politicians...?"

——"Charisma", who is considered to have supernatural, superhuman power or quality, and has the ability to attract others around him to make him his followers and believers. Once this kind of person appears at the right time, Without exception, everyone will become the leader of the times and the great leader...

Looking at it this way, it seems to match Mr. Tsuruga... Uh, maybe it really matches a bit?

Originally, I wanted to refute other people's views, but after analyzing and analyzing, I got myself involved.

The staff member closed his mouth with a tangled face.

The director clapped his hands when he saw the moment when everyone silently fell silent:

"Okay! This is the end of the discussion about Mr. Tsuruga. If we are lucky enough, maybe we can conduct a live interview with him after the live broadcast. He might be exposed but took off his sunglasses... All of you who are curious can use the name of 'interview' to ask him questions."

——Of course, whether to answer or not is Tsuruga Ren's choice.

Now, however, "Let's turn our attention away from Mr. National Hero and back to the game—the game!"

"The third round is almost over."

***

Sensing that the camera that had been taking close-up shots of her face had finally turned away, Ren Tsuruga hesitated a little, but still didn't put the sunglasses back on her face——

Now, it seems pointless to hide one's identity any more.

Although just a close-up of his face is not enough for most people to judge which area his seat is in, but he will not forget what he heard from the old man Sakurai sitting next to him - the seat in this position is special. of.

Many viewers who often watch the live broadcast or broadcast of Koshien games know that this is the seat behind the home plate...

Hanging the sunglasses into the chest pocket of the shirt jacket, Tsuruga Ren sighed silently.

He already had a premonition that today's trip might not end very smoothly as he had imagined before.

At this moment, there was a soft sound of "bang" in the stadium, Ren Tsuruga raised her eyes subconsciously, and saw Tatsuya running towards the first base at the hitting zone... …

"Hit! Akiyoshi No. [-] hitter! Pitcher Uesugi Tatsuya!"

"The second half of the third inning! Finally, since the start of the game, someone hit the pitch for the first time!"

"Tatsuya rushed to the first base! He didn't stop, and he marched decisively towards the second base!"

"Can you successfully grab the base? Tatsuya!!"

"The pitcher got the ball! He's throwing the ball to second base!"

"Tatsuya is a little bit worse! A little bit worse!"

"Can you make it in time? Can you make it in time?! Uesugi Tatsuya!!"

"—Successful stealing the base!!!"

"The second half of the third inning! Mingqing is out, and there is someone on second base!"

"Can they take the lead in scoring the first point of the game?"

"Next up is Captain Ming Qing——Four sticks, Hei Mu!!"

…………

Suddenly there were loud cheers and whistles inside and outside the stadium.

Shouts of "Uesugi!" suddenly swept across the stadium from all directions, and this huge momentum made Tsuruga, who had been to the semi-finals of the Kazuya regional preliminaries, feel the atmosphere of watching the game live at any rate. Lian Weiwei was a little shocked - no wonder so many people are full of longing and longing for the site of Jiashien.

It turns out that this place is really different from ordinary stadiums.

"How is it? I was somewhat shocked."

Elder Sakurai suddenly asked with a proud smile.

Tsuruga Ren subconsciously nodded.

"I don't know much about baseball..." he whispered a little embarrassedly, "I only had one experience watching a baseball game live, so maybe my feelings don't represent the opinions of most people."

"but……"

"There's something really different about this stadium."

"The players on the field, the audience off the field, the thunderous cheers and applause of the audience every time a wonderful moment is played..."

"It's obviously the same thing, but it seems that everything has been given a different meaning when we arrive at Koshien..."

"I can't describe it very well. But you're right."

"I was really shocked."

He said the last sentence convincingly.

The old man smiled and listened to him patiently.

It wasn't until he finished speaking that he meaningfully raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder:

"So, this is Jiashiyuan."

—Unless you come here in person, sit on the sidelines and witness a game with your own eyes.

Otherwise, you will never understand why many people have such an inexplicable fanatical obsession with this stadium.

"Because it has such a magical power, it can make people feel things that they can't feel at all in ordinary games."

The old man turned around with a smile.

"But I guess this doesn't change your original intention of coming to watch the game because you want to support Uesugi Kazuya...does it?"

"of course."

"Then keep your eyes open."

——Look at how the players you support show their talents and brilliance to the fullest on this court.

"thanks, I will."

Tsuruga Lian slowly raised the corners of her mouth as she spoke, her heart filled with peace and joy.

***

"The first match of the second round of the Koshien Tournament, the match between Ming Qing Academy and Wako Industry, is now in the second half of the ninth round."

"In the previous game, the two sides played a 2-2 tie with their respective outstanding performances. If Mingqing can't score in this game, the game will enter the tenth game. This may also be the start of this tournament. First playoff since."

"Now it's Mingqing's third batter and pitcher, Kazuya Uesugi, who is going to hit the field!"

"Since the first half of the fifth inning, Kazuya has been pitching with his twin brother Tatsuya Uesugi, and he has brought us wonderful pitches one after another!"

"So, can he now, as a hitter and the ace of the team, bring new hope and hope to the team in the desperate situation where Mingqing has two outs and no one on the base? Transfer?"

"let us wait and see!"

"Contestant Uesugi is ready! Get ready—"

"pity!"

"The bat is gone!"

"As you can see in the slow-motion replay, the bat swung past the edge of the ball!"

"Just a little short! What a pity! Contestant Kazuya!"

"Now it's the second ball..."

"It's a pity! It's just a little bit worse!"

"Last goal!"

"A ball that decides fate!"

"Did Uesugi hit the ball to win Ming Qing's last chance, or was he out of the game and the two teams will continue to compete for qualifications in the next overtime?"

"All audiences, please keep your eyes open—"

"!!!!!! HIT!"

"Kazuya Uesugi!!!!!!"

"The ball hit!!!"

"The hit baseball flew high in the direction of the outfield!"

"Is it left? Right?"

"No! Neither!"

"The ball flew over the final home run wall in the outfield!"

"It's a home run! Bye home run!!!"

"He did it! Kazuya Uesugi! He did it!!!!!!"

…………

And the infielders also started running the bases.

However, the colorful ribbons and colored papers that filled the stadium had already begun to float over the stadium ahead of time, and Ming Qing's school song and Kazuya's name had already resounded throughout the audience.

Although Kazuya has not completed all the runs.

But everyone knows that the game is over.

Goodbye home run -- a home run hit in the final moments of a game.

The moment the ball is hit, it means that the final victory has been completely locked.

Kazuya finally hit home plate.

Before his footsteps stopped, he was already surrounded by oncoming teammates.

Countless cheers and choking sounds surrounded Kazuya, and all around him were arms stretched out trying to hug him.

However, miraculously, in the gap between the sea of ​​meat (x), Kazuya raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the scoreboard.

There, where his last bye home run fell.

There was a familiar figure standing there very conspicuously.

Among the cheering crowd around him, the tall black-haired man who stood safely in place was extremely eye-catching.

And what he held in his hand, after being captured by the live broadcast camera, caused a huge commotion in the audience for the second time——

"Mr. Tsuruga?! When did he appear there?"

"No, no, it's not important! What's important is that you see what he is holding in his hand?!"

"what? What'……?"

"It's a ball! Baseball! That baseball that Kazuya finally hit a goodbye home run!!"

"……Eh?!!!"

Under everyone's stunned and envious gaze, Tsuruga Ren picked up the white baseball in her hand.

Staring straight at Kazuya in the center of the crowd surrounded by the stadium in the distance, Ren Tsuruga lowered her head and gently printed a gentle kiss on the baseball in her hand...

"Lian——!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

In an instant, Jiashien was once again in a state of boiling.
