[Comprehensive] Kazuya's happy life

Two weeks into school, both high school life and club activities have gradually started to get on the right track.

The day's work is over, and the teammates have already changed their clothes and left. It is rare that only the Uesugi brothers are in the locker room.Kazuya buttoned the last button of his uniform shirt, turned around and saw Tatsuya who was still wrestling with the t-shirt over there, he couldn't help but go over and help him pull the hem of the t-shirt from behind, so that he could put on the clothes smoothly.

"How is it? Is my brother used to the hard ball?"

He took two steps back and sat down on the chair next to him, and slowly began to put on his uniform jacket, while Kazuya moved and asked a question with concern.

Tatsuya put on the t-shirt, and took out the shirt, "It's okay, the soft ball is more comfortable to hold the ball, but when it comes to the pitching feel, I still prefer the hard ball I use now. ——I can clearly feel that after changing it, the speed of the shot is much faster than before.”

But relatively hard balls are also more likely to be homered than soft balls, and...  

"It hurts so much to get hit by a hard ball! No wonder the catcher wears such exaggerated armor..."

While talking, Tatsuya rubbed the arm that was accidentally hit by the return ball before.

This happened three days ago.But until now, he still feels a slight pain on his arm where he was hit by the ball, which never happened before in middle school.

"So brother now understands that Kotaro is actually very hardworking and capable? Have you decided to treat him better in the future?" Kazuya teased.

Tatsuya curled his lips, "It's hard work for a guy with armor on his body. He is the least likely to be injured in the team."

— except for the outfielders.

Kazuya looked helplessly and funny at the look of disgust on his face when he mentioned Kotaro:

"Brother, why don't you and Kotaro get along? Obviously, the cooperation on the court is quite tacit..."

"Who has a tacit understanding with that guy!" Tatsuya interrupted him politely, "It's just that Mr. Tatsuya has a broad mind and doesn't bring personal grievances into training. Otherwise, you think he's so easy to accept me the ball?"

He had a face like "That's because I let him go, but there is no such thing as tacit cooperation!"

Kazuya has long been used to his stubbornness.

"Okay. If my brother says no, then it's not." He stroked his fur in a good-tempered manner, took their schoolbags and walked to the door: "After changing our clothes, let's go home? Rest early tonight and raise your feet." Get ready for tomorrow's practice match."

"You seem to be looking forward to it, Kazuya-san."

"Isn't brother looking forward to it?"

"The opponent is that Beiqiu business, right? Didn't senior Kuroki say that it's not difficult to deal with?"

"If you underestimate any opponent, you may end up suffering in the game? Brother, you won't forget the match against Yutai No.[-] last summer, right?"

"...Don't bring up that game every time!" Tatsuya suddenly became a little annoyed!

Kazuya looked at him with a smile, "Then brother, don't always give me a reason to remind you of it."

"...you're really long-winded!" Kazuya strode forward and snatched his schoolbag from him: "Hurry up and go back!"

After finishing speaking, he walked out of the locker room first, without any intention of waiting for Kazuya, it was simply ruthless.

Kazuya blinked, turned off the lights and locked the door without haste.

Turning around, Tatsuya was no longer in sight, he was not in a hurry, he just walked slowly towards the school gate, and sure enough, beside the school gate, he found Tatsuya who was pretending to be impatiently waiting there also.

"Let's go back together, brother."

"……Um."

"Speaking of which, Xiao Nan is not with us today."

"It seems that Nanfeng has something to do, so I'll go back first."

"That's it. Then, do you want to go over and have a look together later?"

"It won't be of much help if you read it. The two of us can't make coffee that can be sold in the store →_→"

"...Brother, what you said is so reasonable that I am speechless."

The two brothers happily(?) chatted and went home together.

Because of the practice game the next day, Kazuya rarely did not review his homework at night, but after taking a bath with Tatsuya, he lay down early to rest, and as a result, he woke up early the next day feeling very refreshed.

"It's just a practice game, why do you feel that you are so serious?" Tatsuya bit his bread, and his words were a little slurred.

Kazuya gulped down a large glass of milk, "Because it's the first game after entering high school, even if it's a practice game, I feel very excited--seriously speaking, we haven't had any competition since last fall. Have you played any decent games? Don’t you feel itchy, brother?”

"That's true..."

Kazuya's words aroused the dormant anticipation of the game in his heart, and Tatsuya felt that the time for class was extremely difficult that day.

In the middle of the math class and English class, he was called to the blackboard by the teacher twice in a row to answer questions. This made Tatsuya's face still dark when he entered the baseball club's locker room after the day's lectures. Mu looked at him strangely for several times, and after knowing the reason from Kotaro's schadenfreude, he couldn't laugh or cry again——

"Uesugi, pay attention to your expression, otherwise people from Beiqiu Commercial will see them later and think we don't welcome them."

He reminded him half-jokingly.

Only then did Tatsuya calm down the black energy all over his body.

He also took advantage of the gap between the minister's lectures and quietly patted his brother's shoulder:

"Well. Don't continue to be depressed, brother. If you feel that you want to vent this resentment no matter what, why don't you cheer for the next game?"

Da didn't respond.

However, not long after, sitting on the supervisor's seat on the sidelines and looking at the person on the court who was throwing the ball more vigorously than in any previous practice, Kazuya touched the tip of his nose, feeling a little sorry for the opponent of today's practice game, Beiqiu Commercial .

If he hadn't said something like that...

"Tatsuya is in good shape today."

Xiaonan is holding on to his poor game record, and the game is now in the second half of the fourth inning. Although Mingqing only leads by a slight 1-0 advantage, in the first four innings where Yu Tatsuya dominated the pitching, he has already struck out 11 consecutive times. people, and so far has not allowed anyone to hit a hit.

This is already a very remarkable achievement for a rookie pitcher who has just entered high school.

So listening to her excitedly reporting Tatsuya's results, Kazuya's brows and eyes were full of gentle and proud smiles:

"Yes. My brother played really well today."

It's so good that he can't sit on the bench anymore, and wants to stand on the pitcher's plate earlier...

Noticing the palms he kept clasping, the supervisor Nishio next to him was still smiling, gentle and kind:

"Can't wait to play? Kazuya-kun?"

"No... well, yes, supervisor." Kazuya admitted frankly, "But it is agreed that I will play from the fifth inning, and I can still endure this for the time being."

"For the time being..." Supervisor Nishio heard the point of his words. "Don't worry, Kazuya-kun." He raised his hand and patted his new lover on the shoulder with a smile, "You won't wait too long."

Before the words fell, the referee's loud announcement came from the court:

"Strike! Batter out!"

——The last hitter in the fourth inning of Kita Hills Commercial, missed another ball, and was sent out of the inning by Tatsuya's three strikes.

Kazuya stood up abruptly, stepped forward to meet him, and exchanged a crisp high-five with Tatsuya who took off his hat and wiped his sweat with his sleeves as he approached the sidelines——

"give it to you!"

Tatsuya's eyes were bright, and all the black energy on his body had already disappeared. Although he was panting a bit violently, it could be seen that he was in a very good mood.

Kazuya said goodbye to his arms with a smile:

"No problem! I will try my best to keep the good record left by my brother to the end."

——In other words, keep the opponent's no-hitter and no-scoring record until the end of the game?

Tatsuya raised an eyebrow.

He also rarely utters such frivolous rhetoric. Usually, even if he thinks so in his heart, he doesn't say it outright.

What's up today...

Seeing his doubts, Kazuya smiled, but didn't mean to explain anything.

Taking the towel from Xiaonan's hand and covering Tatsuya's face, he ran away with a smile amidst his dissatisfied protests, and Kazuya looked at the scoreboard in the distance——

1 to 0 ah.

With a gentle smile on his face, if Tatsuya saw it, he would definitely be judged as "what a bad idea again, this black-hearted prince!" Kazuya took a bat from Kuroki.

Before pitching, he was the hitter first.

"Go, Uesugi." Kuroki pushed his glasses, and his tone was rare and harsh.

"Yes." Kazuya still had such a harmless and gentle smile on his face.

For this legendary "strongest pitcher" among the freshmen in this year's high school, even if he is playing as a batter now, North Hills commercial pitchers dare not be careless.

He hung his head and took a deep breath.

Kazuya was standing in the hitting zone, with both hands gripping the bat with natural strength.

He fixed his eyes on the North Hill commercial pitcher on the pitcher's board. The moment he raised his foot to touch the board, he remembered the opponent's pitching habits, small movements before pitching, preferred angle, pitching force and pitch in the previous four innings in his mind. Speed... and so on, flashed through my mind one by one, when the opponent finally made the throwing motion, the familiar white ball flew towards him, and He also quickly adjusted his movements, following his hunch and hitting hard ...

"........."

The audience was silent.

Following the force of the bat, the white ball flew high, passed the crowd of spectators at the side of the field, and flew far out of the baseball field.

—A home run.

"Yeah!!! Uesugi-san!!!"

"Good job! Uesugi!"

"It's so handsome! Uesugi!"

"Whoa! A real home run! First time I've seen..."

"As expected of the legendary..."

"OMG! I'm getting goosebumps!"

"Uesugi! Uesugi!"

"Uesugi! Uesugi!"

——After a moment of silence, the audience burst into cheers.

At the beginning, it was just a rush of exclamation and discussion, but in the end, it turned into a tacit and regular collective harmony of shouting Kazuya's name.

Kazuya started running with a smile on his face.

Amidst the cheers of "Uesugi! Uesugi!", his expression was still so gentle and calm, except for a little obvious joy, there was not much else, which made several basemen of Beiqiu Commercial feel bothered. Hitting a home run and being powerless and depressed because he couldn't even defend, there is also a little appreciation and admiration for this young man who hit a home run and can still maintain a normal heart and only show a little joy.

And also ran the bases smoothly.

On the scoreboard, a big 3 was already hung in the scoring column of Mingqing Academy, which looked extraordinarily dazzling in the sunlight.

The entire stadium was ignited by Kazuya's sudden home run, and the cheers have not stopped until now.

And amidst the thunderous sound of the audience, a figure that Kazuya would definitely feel very surprised if he saw it was hidden in the crowd, looking at the boy with a cheerful smile surrounded by his teammates, his expression was somewhat complicated .

"Uesugi... Ah."

In a low voice, he seemed to be sighing, and seemed to be simply reciting the name, and murmured like a sigh.
