[Comprehensive] Kazuya's happy life

7 month 20 day.

Although it will be Mingqing's turn to participate in the third round of regional preliminaries in two days, starting from this day, many other schools in the Tokyo area have started the third round of competition one after another.

Supervisor Nishio specially gave the team a holiday on this day, allowing everyone to watch the games of the schools they want to watch according to their own wishes.

Sachiko and Xiaonan, who supervised themselves and the manager, went to three different stadiums to collect information on the most noteworthy and powerful opponents in the preliminaries.

What Kazuya and Tatsuya chose to watch was the game between Saijo High School and Sakisho High School.

Among them, the third-year pitcher of Saijo High School, Terajima, is one of the few left-handed pitchers in the Tokyo area, and his strength is very strong.

"I heard that last year our seniors were beaten by this guy and they couldn't fight back."

Standing in the aisle of the high platform at the top of the auditorium, Tatsuya put his hands on his forehead like a telescope, as if looking into the stadium.

In the second half of the seventh inning, Saijo High School, who attacked first, continued to maintain an absolute lead with a score of 5-0.

Although in theory, Sakisho still has the possibility of a comeback-as long as they can keep Saijo clean in the next eighth and ninth innings, and each get at least three points.

But both Kazuya and Tatsuya know that in terms of Sakisho's current state, such a situation is basically impossible.

Not to mention……

Kazuya's gaze turned to the pitcher's pitcher, who was stepping lightly on the white hard board sideways, the tough-looking Saijo pitcher Terashima——

"Well, it is a very difficult opponent to let the seniors get a record of no score, no hit and no hits."

Tatsuya lowered his hands, and the expression on his face seemed to be a bit... (without the love of his teammates) gloating:

"Ah, I know. Kuroki-senpai and Sachiko came to Nanfeng one day in the spring, and the spring tryouts were broadcast live on TV? When Sachiko said no hits, no hits, Kuroki-senpai's face... I won't forget it in such a short time~"

"I want to call you Sachiko-senpai, brother." Kazuya looked at him helplessly, "And do you have any opinion on Kuroki-senpai..."

Why is it so pleasant to see seniors lose face...

"Hmph. Who told him to make Sachiko... Well, Sachiko-senpai did it without saying a word! She's obviously not as handsome as the two of us..." Tatsuya snorted angrily.

Kazuya raised his eyebrows, "You said something like that again. Obviously my brother doesn't like Sachiko-senpai again."

So why do you care so much about his relationship with Senior Kuroki?

"That's because...!" Tatsuya seemed to want to say something, but in the middle of speaking, he suddenly drooped his shoulders as if discouraged, and didn't continue...

"Forget it, it's nothing." He said a little wearily.

Kazuya raised his eyebrows even higher.

"Brother, do you have something to hide from me?"

"No, no..."

"Your tone is very guilty, isn't it?"

"All, all said there is no more!"

"You still dare not meet my eyes?"

"...That's because you got too close!"

"Liar. I haven't moved my position since the beginning."

"Hey, long-winded! In short, I have nothing to hide from you, and I am not guilty!"

"yes……"

Seeing that Tatsuya was stubborn and refused to admit anything, Kazuya sighed.

"Actually, I can guess a little bit." He turned his head, and his eyes fell back to the field below again, "Brother didn't accidentally see it?"

"The picture of Kuroki-senpai and Sachiko-senpai kissing."

"What...! Puff...cough cough cough!"

——I didn't expect him to say such blunt and explosive words suddenly, Tatsuya was so startled that he choked on himself, and suddenly coughed earth-shatteringly.

He also patted him on the back twice, but he didn't mean to stop talking at all.

"That's why my brother has become a little strange these days. Although he is still very serious and focused during training, once he is free, he will start to be in a daze unconsciously?"

"..." Tatsuya wanted to say how do you know, but facing his younger brother's eyes that seemed to see through everything, he couldn't help turning his eyes away again...

"A few nights ago, when I went to the locker room to pick up the backpack I left behind." He raised his hand and touched his nose uncomfortably, "Actually, I didn't see the picture of them really k, kissing..."

It's just that when he opened the door and walked in, the two people separated quickly, Kuroki's hands were still hugging Sachiko's waist, and Sachiko's hands had just been removed from Kuroki's shoulders... No matter how stupid Tatsuya knew it What just happened.

"That guy Kuroki! He's actually in the locker room... You bastard! I don't even think that our whole team has to change clothes, rest, chat and have fun there!"

I did such an enviable thing with Sachiko in this kind of place!How can he calmly face the locker room in the future? Damn it!

Tatsuya silently pounded on the wall.

Kazuya felt a little funny looking at the tangled look on his face.

"I told you to call me Senior Kuroki." He "reminded" in a non-serious tone.

"Hmph! Who wants to call that kind of guy..."

Tatsuya curled his lips, and was just about to slander Kuroki verbally and divert the topic away, so as not to be dragged by Kazuya to him and Xiaonan again, but suddenly, he noticed a small detail that he had overlooked before——

"Wait. Did you say 'also' just now?" He widened his eyes, staring at He and didn't let go, "Did you say something like 'My brother didn't even notice'?!"

What does this mean?

Kazuya also saw...

"No, no, brother, you got it wrong." Kazuya denied it calmly.

Tatsuya didn't believe him.

"Stop lying! Speak! Did you see that too?"

"No."

"Liar!"

"Really do not have."

"Then why did you say 'also'?"

"Slip of tongue."

"..." Do you think I will believe it?

"What I said is true." Looking back with a sincere face.

Tatsuya simply ignored him.

He turned his face angrily, stopped looking at Kazuya, but "seriously" paid attention to the game where there was basically no suspense on the court, and it wasn't Terajima who was pitching, so it wasn't much to watch.

Kazuya looked at him angrily and seemed to want to say something, but soon he didn't know what he thought of and smiled slightly, and then he didn't say anything, but watched the game quietly like Tatsuya.

The situation on the court was not much different from what Kazuya had expected.

The first half of the eighth inning ended. Although Saijo did not score a point, by this time, Sakisho's momentum had become very low and weak.

On the contrary, as soon as Terashima stood on the pitcher, both Kazuya and Tatsuya's expressions became extremely serious at this moment.

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!"

"Three strikes! Batter out!"

——Absolute strength crushing!

When the first batter was mercilessly struck out, the fighting spirit of the Sakisho players, which had been reduced to almost nothing, fell to the bottom instantly visible to the naked eye.

And also shook his head.

Sakisho no longer has any hope of winning.

Sure enough, Terashima was in full swing and struck out two of Sakisho's batters in a row, ending the game neatly.

Kazuya and Tatsuya stood on the high platform passage, and they didn't choose to leave immediately after the game ended.

Looking at Terashima standing on the sidelines and accepting photos and interviews from the media, surrounded by all kinds of flashing lights, Tatsu couldn't help but be speechless:

"This is too exaggerated..."

He and He were also known as the new star pitchers who have attracted the attention of the industry after winning the Mingqing All-School Championship last year. Naturally, there were many media who came to ask for photos and interviews, but they did not reach the level of being chased by Terashima today. ...

Thinking of this, Tatsuya suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

It is very clear what he is thinking and he also smiled and appeased:

"High school and junior high school have completely different grades, brother."

The junior high school national champion is indeed very eye-catching, but even the junior high school national champion is far less important than any high school that has scored in Koshien.

——No need for anything else, the word Jiaziyuan alone is enough to widen the distance between the two, crushing all the glory of the junior high school level!

Kazuya lowered his eyes silently, calming down the raging flame of fighting spirit that suddenly ignited in his heart...

"Let's go, brother."

"Eh? But..."

That Terashima seemed to be looking towards them just now?

After hesitating for a while, Tatsuya finally caught up with his younger brother, and the two left side by side.So I also missed the pitch that Terashima originally wanted to throw at the brothers to express the silent fighting spirit and invitation...

7 month 23 day.

Cloudy and rainy.

The third round of the preliminaries in the summer Koshien Tokyo region, the match between Mingqing High School and Yokota High School, will begin on such a day.

Players from the two schools are making final preparations on the sidelines.

Before the start of the game, there was already a drizzle of rain in the sky. It is hard to say whether the rain will continue to increase in the next time, which will affect the later games.

In front of Mingqing's contestants.

"The opponent strikes first, this time Tatsuya-kun will be in charge of the opening—is it okay to hand over the first four rounds to you?"

"Oh! I'll show them the strength of the new Mingqing baseball team!"

"Don't talk too much, Tatsuya."

"Be careful if you get a home run it's embarrassing."

"As one of the team's trump cards, you have to be more reliable at critical moments, Tatsuya."

"Also, don't just represent the entire team casually, Tatsuya!"

The seniors rushed forward, pressed Tatsuya's head hard one by one, admonishing Tatsuya with love (no).

"Let go! My image, you bastards!" Tatsuya was completely ravaged after his hat was almost rubbed off, and he struggled hard to get rid of the clutches.

A smile flashed across Kazuya's eyes.

"He is really loved by the seniors, brother."

He is smiling.

Tatsuya, who was rearranging his ball cap, glared at him angrily:

"Are you envious? Do you want to try it too, Kazuya-san?"

"No, let me politely decline."

"……cut."

Supervisor Nishio next to him calmly let the disciples mess around.

Seeing that everyone was making a fuss, he smiled and raised his hand to signal everyone to pay attention:

"The opponent's Yokota High School doesn't need me to emphasize anything. The analysis meetings before the game that you should pay attention to have already made it very clear. In the end, I just want to emphasize one point——"

"If the rain becomes heavier in the future, the game situation may be out of our control."

"Even Kazuya-kun and Tatsuya-kun lose a large part of their pitching control in heavy rain due to the influence of the field and the rain."

"I hope that all of you will not be impatient and maintain a stable mood."

"The most important thing is, don't be fierce, don't be brave, don't get hurt because of it."

"above."

"Come on, Mingqing!"

"Oh!!"

Everyone gathered in a circle and let out a muffled growl. Then, after exchanging high-fives with Kazuya, Tatsuya turned and walked onto the court.

And in the sky, the raindrops that were originally falling thinly gradually began to become continuous...
