[Comprehensive] Kazuya's happy life

"It looks a bit difficult to cast, brother."

Sitting on the bench, watching the field through the dense rain, Tatsuya struggled to throw another good ball, but at the end of the pitch, he stepped on the muddy field soaked by the impact of rain and almost fell down. , Kazuya frowned, although he was a little relieved because it was just a false alarm and Tatsuya did not fall or get hurt in the end, but seeing the rain getting heavier, his expression became more and more serious involuntarily tight.

Sitting next to him, Supervisor Nishio also looked solemn.

"If this continues, the game may be temporarily suspended, and the game will be restarted after the rain is slightly lighter." He crossed his arms and stared at the rainy stadium. "In that case, the game will eventually become a long game. tug of war."

Even if Mingqing has Kazuya and Tatsuya, the two ace pitchers, under bad weather conditions, any pitcher's control over pitching will inevitably be greatly reduced - the so-called manpower is limited, sometimes no matter how powerful , will eventually be affected and restricted by natural conditions.

Therefore, Mingqing's side was actually more affected by the increasing rain than his opponent, Hengtian High School.

and……

Although he didn't say it out loud, Director Nishio actually has another worry besides this.

——In the rainy baseball field, there are too many variables.

Aside from the results of the game, the scene where Tatsuya almost fell just now is not very common in baseball games in the rain.

Although for the sport of baseball, it is common for players to fall during the game even if it is not rainy. However, in the muddy and slippery conditions of the field on rainy days, the chances of accidental falls and injuries become higher than usual, and This is something no baseball supervisor wants to see.

"It looks like it's going to be a tough fight..."

Supervisor Nishio looked up at the rain that was still increasing in the sky, and sighed quietly with some concern.

***

Facts have proved that his guess was completely correct.

On this day, the heavy rain that started at noon became heavier as the game progressed, causing the referee to announce the interruption of the game twice, just as Director Nishio said at the beginning of the game, the development In the end, the match really turned into a long tug of war between players from the two schools covered in mud.

In the first half of the eighth inning, Yokota made the main attack.

The score on the field is still 0-0.

The heavy rain brought not only a sharp reduction in the ability of the pitcher to control the ball, but also the hit rate of the bat.

And also standing on the pitcher's plate.

The dirt underfoot feels soft and rotten to the touch.Every time I raise my feet high when throwing a ball, I can feel the mud being splashed up by the soles of the shoes, which slows down the whole person's movements.

He raised his hand to wipe the rainwater that kept pouring down his cheeks.

Since the start of the preliminaries, he and Tatsuya had never hit four balls. In today's game, both of them almost appeared.

And also took a deep breath.

The batter he faced at this time was Yokota's four-bat power hitter.

In the first four innings in which Tatsuya was in charge, the opponent had hit two hits.

One of them was even a very dangerous double hit. If it weren't for the unsatisfactory follow-up results of this man's teammates, I am afraid that Yokota would have already scored a run by relying on his batting.

And also turned sideways.

His gaze pierced through the heavy rain curtain, and met the batter instantly in the rain.

"Boom!" A dull thunder came from the distant sky.

Kazuya suddenly raised his arms——

In the heavy rain, the white baseball was like a bolt of lightning piercing the rain curtain. With a clear sound of breaking through the air, it pierced through layers of rain and flew towards the opposite side!

The eyes of the batter, whose face was as calm as water, shrank suddenly.

He swung the bat hard—

"nice shot!"

The white ball narrowly skims directly over the bat and falls into the catcher's open glove.

And also slowly stand up straight.

The jersey on his body had already been drenched in the heavy rain.

He raised his hand indifferently, and wiped away the water marks on his face again——

Also, two goals.

***

While the game on the field is going on with difficulty and stalemate.

off the field.

Shayuki, who was sitting in the car, sighed while saying "I'm sorry to trouble you! Ren said that next time I will give priority to your invitation! Okay, see you next time." Such polite and polite official words Hang up the phone.

"Really, I suddenly said something capriciously, 'I want to watch Kazuya's game, so please help me cancel the announcement tomorrow afternoon'... Do you guys know how hard and nerve-wracking it is for people to arrange work schedules? !"

He puffed his cheeks and complained.

However, only he was sitting in the car inside, and the person he was complaining about was obviously unable to respond to his speech at all.

Koichi sighed deeply.

"Also, if it wasn't for such a rainy day, it would be impossible for me to agree to let you go to such a crowded place."

While talking, he turned his head, looked through the car window, and looked at the stadium where cheers and noise could be clearly heard from time to time even in such heavy rain—

"Damn it! Since I have this opportunity, I also want to see Kazuya-kun's match with my own eyes! Why did you throw me in the car alone!"

The sad agent thought so indignantly.

However, at this moment, the phone that he had just hung up in his hand suddenly rang again. After glancing at the caller number displayed on the screen, She Xingyi immediately put on an elite smile for business use, and spoke in a gentle tone. Picked up the phone:

"Hello, this is the club..."

——So I really don't blame someone for "ruthlessly" leaving him in the car alone.

Because the company's phone rang a bit too frequently today.

Although this is also because the new drama that someone just took over became very popular as soon as it was released, and it has the potential to catch up with the previous work, which made him, who is already quite popular, become more and more popular in the eyes of the major variety show planners. Welcome, the invitations for various announcements are endless, but Tsuruga Lian will never admit that her super popularity has brought troubles such as too many calls to her manager.

Standing on the side of the high platform passage at the highest point of the auditorium, leaning against the pillars behind her, Tsuruga Ren's eyes fixed on the center of the court, the familiar figure standing on the pitcher's board, but at the moment seemed a little strange ——

It was something he had never seen before, full of some kind of Kazuya who was like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath, with a sharp and piercing aura.

His stature is not too high, and his physique is still in the growth stage and has not been fully formed, and he also has a youthful and slender figure that is unique to young people.

However, it is such a back that is not tall or strong at all, but when people look at him, they can feel an incredible power from it...

——It was as if an indestructible barrier had been erected in front of him, and any force that wanted to invade it would decay and wither away in front of this barrier, unable to bully him even a single step.

Tsuruga Ren felt deeply shocked.

This is what he doesn't know and also.

So strange, but full of palpitating powerful aura and charm of Kazuya.

Standing on a small pitcher's board, he seems to dominate the entire world on the field.

With such a dazzling light blooming, people are completely unwilling to look away from Kazuya...

While he was in a daze, the situation on the field suddenly changed!

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!"

"Three strikes! Batter out!"

——A moment of lightning and flint!

Tsuruga Ren didn't even have time to react to what happened just now, there was a burst of violent cheers and screams from all sides of the stadium.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh' Uesugi-kun!"

"It's so handsome! Three strikes in a row! And the opponent is Yokota's four-bat hitter!"

"It's still in such a heavy rain! Ah, Uesugi, I love you!!"

"Go away, Uesugi-kun belongs to everyone!"

"That's right!"

…………

Lian's mouth twitched again and again.

"Also said that I am a walking humanoid hormone diffuser..."

He couldn't help but complain silently.

However, the eyes couldn't help but fell to the court again, and Kazuya who was raising his hand to re-button his cap...

"Very strong, right? Ming Qing's Uesugi?"

At this moment, a random question suddenly came from not far away.

Lian was startled when she heard the words, thinking that the other party was asking herself, but when she turned her head to look over, she found that it was a young man with short hair and a little strange appearance, who was asking a handsome man standing next to him. young brunette.

The young man who was asked raised his eyebrows slightly, with a calm expression on his face.

"Isn't that natural." He raised the corners of his mouth, his tone was extremely calm, and it seemed very natural:

"That's Uesugi."

"...Haha. That's right. That's Uesugi."

The young man with the crew cut was silent for two seconds as if he was choking, and then he answered with a dry smile.

"So, do you want to guess? In the final match against Uesugi, is it you, Nitta, or me, Nishimura?"

"Although it's a pity that we can't fight against both of you, but this year's Jiashiyuan admission quota will get it, and it must be our Shinan High School!"

He looked confident.

The handsome young man he called Nitta just glanced at him lightly.

"You're still a long way off, Nishimura."

"What! Are you looking down on me?"

"No, I'm just stating a fact."

"Damn! Nitta, you bastard..."

Xiaopingtou Xicun's face changed from blue to white several times, and in the end, he just let out a breath of hatred, and turned his head heavily in a gesture of "I don't bother to care about you".

The expression on Nitta's face did not change at all.

His eyes were fixed on the court, and Kazuya was swinging his arm and throwing another strike.

The focus, appreciation, anticipation and fighting spirit revealed in that gaze made Tsuruga Ren, who had been watching the conversation between him and Nishimura, involuntarily frowned slightly——

I don't know why, but I always feel that the way this person looks at Kazuya seems to be very unpleasant...
