The days when I fell in love with Nagato Yuki

Although the SOS team has two masters, Kasuga and Nagato, baseball is a collective confrontational game, and the key to its victory is not the individual ability, but the overall strength of the team.

After Nagato came on the field, Xu, the fourth bat, is usually the protagonist in many baseball comics.It's a pity that Ah Xu's position was obtained by lottery, so even if Haruhi placed high hopes on him, he was quickly dismissed.

As for the others, although they can't be said to be vulnerable, but high school students who want to win against college students who can be regarded as adults cannot simply describe it as "somewhat difficult".

In terms of attack, except for Tsuruya-senpai who has good motor nerves and Lin Lu who has Quidditch batting experience and can cause some troubles for the opponent, the rest are basically in the rhythm of being KO'd smoothly.

In terms of defense, Nagato is as reliable as ever. Any baseball that enters her defensive range has no possibility of escaping. On the contrary, perhaps to avoid attracting too much attention, she completely ignores other balls.On the other side, Asahina's outfield is really a huge loophole. The opponent soon discovered this after the offense and defense exchange, so the batting was almost all high swings, even though Ah Xu and Taniguchi near her were frightened in order to save. At a loss, he ran back and forth towards Hina, and the probability of successfully catching the ball did not exceed 10%.

What makes Haruhi feel bad the most is that the opponent's first hitter actually sees through the rules of her pitching -- Haruhi can only throw high-speed straight balls that are very in line with her personality.Then the hitter used this information to give Haruhi a fierce counterattack. The baseball flew over Nagato's head and flew off the court. Haruhi looked at the hitter who was running, as if he had been betrayed by Jason. Princess Medea (Note: The story of the Golden Fleece in Greek mythology).

"It can't go on like this." Seeing that his side was in a bad situation, Haruhi immediately called a timeout to the referee.

Then she dragged Shi Jiuru who was sitting in a well-regulated manner, picked up the bag she brought, and the two ran to the grove behind the baseball field.

"Ah! Suzumiya-san... wait, no!"

Soon, Asahina-senpai's cute screams came from inside.At the same time, Haruhi's rough scolding sound also came along with the wind.

"Don't move! Take it off quickly, and put on this suit for me."

Is it this pattern again?

The few members of the SOS regiment were used to this incident, and their appearance made other people who heard the sound and had a strange look on their faces think that they had made a fuss too much.The strange thing is that Tsuruya-senpai, who is Asahina's friend, didn't worry about her friend at all. Instead, she looked interested in participating in it-it seems that she might be the same person as Kasuga in her bones.

The two people who reappeared are wearing clothes that are more suitable for today's occasion - the upper body is mainly a bright blue and white sleeveless top, paired with a mini pleated skirt and big yellow balls in both hands. The most beautiful cheerleader ever!

"It's so beautiful." Kunikida expressed his thoughts.

"Mikuru, can I take some photos for you?" Tsuruya-senpai said while picking up the digital camera she took out from nowhere.

"Damn it, Ah Xu, I'm starting to be jealous of you!" Taniguchi hugged Ah Xu's neck unfairly.

Smiling Lin Lu sat aside with the expressionless Nagato, quietly watching the laughing crowd like a parent watching over a child.

At this time, Koizumi moved towards the two with hands and feet that were uncomfortable due to strenuous exercise, and sat on the other side of the bench: "Ah~ The relationship between the two of you is still so good, it's really enviable."

During the world crisis two weeks ago, Lin Lufang and Koizumi Kazuki had contacts other than daily life.But after thinking about it afterwards, she noticed something was wrong.It stands to reason that although Lin Lu and Nagato lived in the same room, although they didn't intend to hide it from anyone deliberately, they didn't specifically tell others--Chun Ri and Ah Xu should be the first people to know.But Koizumi was able to contact her as soon as the incident happened, and he also knew that Nagato was by her side-this really reminds people of negative words such as surveillance.

As if he was being suspicious, Lin Lu asked Nagato a little bit, but he got an affirmative answer.Almost immediately, Lin Lu pulled Nagato out, bought curtains and placed them in front of the living room and Nagato's bedroom windows, and cast all the anti-spying and protective spells she knew around the room.This behavior is also the beginning of Lin Lu's shopping with Nagato from time to time, and decorating their residence.

And recently, whenever Lin Lu sees Koizumi, she always feels faint displeasure in her heart, but she has a gentle personality, but she can't do any behavior to vent her anger, so seeing that Nagato has no reaction to Koizumi's words At the time, she still asked softly to avoid embarrassment: "What's the matter, Koizumi-kun?"

Smiling and shaking his head, Koizumi seemed to have some helplessness on his face, he sighed, and said just now: "Although I really want to say, 'Can I talk to you if I'm fine?', but this time I'm here to apologize to you, the staff dispatched by the agency to be near the Guangyangyuan apartment has now been fully withdrawn."

"I see, thank you for coming to tell me." Lin Lu said noncommittally.

She didn't doubt the authenticity of Koizumi's words, after all, the agency should not be able to make such a poor lie, especially in front of Nagato.

After hearing Lin Lu's words, Gu Quan didn't talk about this topic any more.He picked up the towel at hand and wiped his sweat, and asked pointedly, "I wonder how you watched this match, Lin?"

"Probably lose, but just do your best." Not knowing what Gu Quan wanted to say, Lin Lu followed his words first.

"It's really an open-minded attitude. If... Forget it, it's too early to say this now, so I won't spoil the scenery." Koizumi suddenly stopped talking, "I hope I'm worrying too much. It's good."

At this time, Kasuga forced Asahina-senpai to use the inherent skill "Encouragement" of "Cheerleading Team" with her, hoping to improve the morale of the SOS regiment, and the competition will start again.

Taniguchi seemed to be inspired by Asahina's (forced) exhausted cheers for the last bat on the field. He took the bat with high morale and walked onto the field, but after three balls, his fate of being struck out by strikeouts still remained unchanged.

He returned to the rest area dejectedly, and sighed: "Baseball is really hard to play."

The game continued, and Haruhi and Asahina wore the sexy cheerleader outfits directly. Thanks to this, when the two of them played, the enemy's attack power was greatly reduced. Whenever Kasuga took this opportunity to score points .However, Asahina was struck out even though his opponent intentionally threw an extremely easy strike.

This made Haruhi very annoyed, and when Asahina got off the stage, he pulled the other's cute baby face in dissatisfaction.

Facing such atrocities, Ah Xu, who couldn't stand it any longer, gave Haruhi lightly with the plastic horn in his hand: "It wasn't because you made some inexplicable secret signal gestures to Asahina-senpai just now, which distracted her! Besides, we started You never agreed on a secret code! You idiot~"

Haruhi "cut" unwillingly, but also knew that he was wronged, so he let go of Asahina whose cheeks were pinched and flushed.

But it's no wonder she's so impatient. Although the SOS team can score some points in each game, Ueuehara scores more. The game has reached the point where it will end early if it loses another goal.

at this time--

"Ringlingling~~" Koizumi took out his mobile phone from the pocket of his tracksuit, looked at the LCD screen, and raised one eyebrow.

Asahina looked surprised, pressed his left ear with his hand, and looked into the distance.

Nagato looked up straight up.

"Could it be..." Lin Lu asked Nagato worriedly in a low voice when he saw the unusual behavior of several people.

"The big thing is not good." On the side, Gu Quan pulled Ah Xu who didn't know why, and said, "A closed space has begun to be formed, and it is expanding at a lightning speed."

"Do you want to say that Haruhi is making trouble because of the reason of losing? Is she upset enough to create that idiot space?!" Ah Xu's question is also in Lin Lu's mind. If this is the case, it would be too childish.

However, maybe it was because Haruhi had already given up her big talk before the game, and she must win this time. If she loses, she will lose face--if this is the case, this girl who is suspected of being the god of the world is really good enough Willful.

"Maybe it's because of you, because Suzumiya-san hoped so, so you became the fourth hitter. This is not by accident. She hopes you can play the function of the fourth hitter, and now she wants you to be the fourth hitter. You are not disappointed at all like a four-stick hitter should be." Gu Quan smiled and said something that made Ah Xu go crazy.

"Don't talk nonsense, is there any basis for these words?"

"No, but judging from the current situation, this game can't just be lost like this, otherwise, when the game is over, it might be the end of the world." Koizumi spoke completely with a sense of crisis Said with an incongruous expression, and glanced at Lin Lu and Nagato while speaking.

Lin Lu and Nagato also faced each other in silence for this look that they didn't know whether they wanted to ask for help or had other meanings.

Koizumi didn't care about getting bored, instead he continued to say to Ah Xu: "Now there are two ways, one is to win the game..."

"Impossible." Ah Xu interrupted angrily, "If it can be done, we don't have to do this now."

"That's right. If it's a normal situation..." Koizumi touched his smooth chin and said with a smile, "Or you can try the method that brought you and Suzumiya-san back to the real world last time~"

"Don't remind me of that time again!"

So, the first conversation ended like this, because the game was about to start again.

This time Ueuehara attacked, and as expected, the baseball was hit to the right field where Asahina was. If the ball was not caught, the game would be forcibly ended, and the world did not know what would happen.

"This feeling is really bad. 』Ling Lu watched Ah Xu desperately run towards the bewildered Chao Bi Nai, jumped up his glove and strenuously stretched towards the baseball, 『No, such words are unacceptable!』

From the perspective of Ah Xu, the person who caught the ball, time seemed to slow down at that moment. There were many shouts in his ears, and he couldn't hear them clearly. The only thing that was clear was the roar from his own mouth. The baseball was about to hit the ground first, but suddenly, as if it were an illusion, the baseball seemed to pause in the air for a moment, and it was this short moment that allowed him to catch up in time and catch the baseball that was related to the survival of the world.

Back to the rest area sweating profusely, Ah Xu didn't want to experience the feeling of heartbeat just now again.Similarly, Lin Lu didn't think about it, if she did it again, she really wasn't sure if she could float the baseball without the help of a magic wand, like when she unconsciously used magic power when she was a child.

"Are you alright?" Nagato came lightly to Lin Lu's side, and asked the girl who looked a little unhappy.

"I'm fine, it's just... if I do it a few more times, my heart may not be able to take it first." Lin Lu said, her pale face is not caused by using magic power, but by the sudden ups and downs of her mood sequelae.

At this time, the smiling Gu Quan came to the two of them, Lin Lu squinted his eyes, and felt that he began to hate this classmate who was somewhat Slytherin.

After a short negotiation, Koizumi left.While Nagato picked up the baseball bat, Lin Lu noticed that her lips were moving quickly, as if she was chanting a spell.

After just a few seconds, Nagato put down the baseball bat. Because there was no sound and light effect, Lin Lu asked curiously what the other party did.

"I changed its attribute data." Nagato looked at the old metal bat that was taken away by Xu, and briefly explained the result of his modification: "Automatic navigation mode."

Lin Lu followed her gaze to the field, Ah Xu swung his bat, no, it was not so much a swing, it was better to say that the bat moved by itself, and Ah Xu's arms and shoulders were dragged along.

"Pong!" A home run that did not lose to Nagato shocked the audience directly.

"Alas..." With a sigh, Lin Lu knew that there might be no suspense in today's game.

"Wow! Ah Xu is so good!" Looking at Ah Xu's sister who was half-kneeling on the bench and cheering with a plastic trumpet, Lin Lu even suspected that even if she was the one who hit the ball, the result must be that the opponent on the other side Desperate home run for the Uehara Pirates.

Of course, everyone understands the truth when you see a good deal.After catching up to the score, in order not to make the opponent suspicious (actually, some people have already glanced suspiciously at the bat from time to time), Ah Xu took the initiative to ask Nagato to cancel the function of the bat.

Because it is the preliminaries, a game only lasts 90 minutes at most, as long as they can win in this last round, the SOS team will win.

"But is it really good to just win like this?" Ah Xu asked Koizumi suspiciously, after all, this is almost tantamount to cheating.

"It must be won." Koizumi said: "According to my companion's contact, thanks to this, the closed space seems to have a tendency to stop expanding. Although it stopped, the 'Kamito' is still the same, so we still have to think about it." There is a way to deal with it. But the closed space has not continued to expand, which is of course good news for us.”

"But if it is reversed by the opponent, Haruhi's mood will probably change to that of Napoleon who encountered Waterloo." Ah Xu felt trembling all over just imagining that scene.

"So I have a proposal here." Koizumi said and blinked playfully.

"Please, you don't feel embarrassed when a big man makes such a face, but I still get goosebumps." 』

Koizumi's method not only allows Ah Xu to play the role of the fourth player assigned by Kasuga, but also ensures the victory of the game.Therefore, he proposed to Kasuga that Xuu should be the pitcher, and Nagato should be the catcher (the person behind the batter who catches the ball).

Regarding the suggestion to change the pitcher, Haruhi was awkward at first and refused to agree, but when Koizumi said that the replacement was Xuu, he hesitated on the face, but finally agreed to Koizumi's opinion.

"If your ball is hit, you will be punished and treat us all to dinner!" She said with a complicated expression on her face while walking towards Ah Xu's defensive position.

"I'll help Nagato-san." Lin Lu took the mask, knee pads and other protective equipment from Koizumi, and began to put Nagato on.

Nagato remained motionless as Lin Lu fiddled with him, as if a samurai from the Warring States period in Japan put on his armor with the help of his wife.

"I'm going." With a soft voice, Nagato stepped onto the battlefield, ahem, the field.

After Lin Lu watched her go away, a complicated expression appeared on his face.

The game was over, and naturally, the SOS team won the game, and the Ueuehara Pirates lost to Akuna's (secretly manipulated) incredible pitch.But the ending is not bad, because under Ah Xu's persuasion (maybe he had played enough), Kasuga agreed to withdraw from the game and gave up the right to participate in the next game to the losing Ue Uehara Pirates. I am so grateful.In the end, the other party even paid a large sum of money to buy the old metal bat that seemed to contain magic power-this made Ah Xu, who had won the game, but still wanted to treat him, very happy.

But Lin Lu wasn't happy at all - she had a hunch that this baseball game might be just the beginning, and they might encounter all kinds of troubles in the future. The problem is Nagato.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but start to worry about the other party, and at the same time hated her own powerlessness.

After leaving the hotel, several people disbanded and went home.

"Let's go." Nagato interrupted Lin Lu's thoughts.

"Huh? Nagato-san, where are we... going?" Seeing that Nagato was walking back to the apartment by a completely different route, Lin Lu hurriedly asked the other party.

"Buy clothes." Nagato said lightly, an answer that Lin Lu never thought of.

"Buy...buy clothes?" Surprised, Lin Lu repeated the other party's words a little silly.

"Thursday night." Nagato stopped, staring directly at Lin Lu with clear eyes.

Having said that, Lin Lu suddenly recalled that she did say on Thursday that she would go out this weekend to buy some clothes for Nagato, otherwise it would be too monotonous to wear school uniform all the time, and it would be too weird to outsiders .

But because Haruhi proposed to play baseball on Friday, and what happened today, she forgot about it.Unexpectedly, Nagato still remembered, although the memory of the other party did not make it possible for him to forget.

But when Lin Lu looked directly at those clear and pure eyes, a sense of satisfaction rose from the bottom of his heart, just like drinking milk when he was hungry when he was a baby--Obviously, he should have passed that simple and easy to obtain It's the right age to be satisfied, but why is the joy filled in my heart at this time?

"I remembered, let's go."

Nagato nodded, and the two walked side by side.Just like this, Lin Lu felt that the negative emotions just now were blown away by the wind, and his heart was full of stability.

"Hey, Nagato-san."

"what?"

"I want to start practicing magic again."

"Well, I see."

The author has something to say:

The baseball game is over, and the next stage is Tanabata
