At 17:50 in the afternoon, the Qingdao school bus stopped in the parking lot of a hotel that had been reserved in advance.
After the practice match with Tokai Osagami, they played two practice matches in one day. Everyone in Aomichi, who was very tired, carried their luggage and got out of the car one after another. Rei Takashima went to the front desk to report the reservation information, and a waiter immediately came to guide the way.
.
After the hotel staff explained the situation to Rei Takashima and Supervisor Kataoka, they handed a stack of room cards with both hands, pressed the elevator button for them, bowed and returned to the front desk.
After everyone in Qingdao arrived at the floor where the reserved room was located, Takashima Rei handed the room card to Dong Qingguo and asked him to distribute it to others.
After receiving the room card handed to him by Rei Takashima, Director Kataoka said to everyone in Qingdao: "From now until 20 p.m., you are free to move around. Remember to gather in the conference room at 20 p.m. for the meeting."
After Director Kataoka and Rei Takashima entered the elevator and left, Dong Qingguo handed over all the room cards except his own room card to Takashi Fujii and Daiki Murasuke, asking them to allocate rooms and choose roommates.
, then grabbed Miyuki Kazuya who was staying aside, and said with a smile: "Let me, the captain, accompany the junior tonight." As he said this, he dragged Miyuki Kazuya to his room.
Everyone in Qingdao quickly found the team members who lived together and assigned room cards. For example, Kimura Takuya could only share a room with Matsuda-senpai, who was in the same dormitory. After all, his popularity was second only to Miyuki Kazuya; Kuraza Naoya took the initiative
He asked to share a room with Senior Tanba; two sophomores, Jun Isashiki and Tetsuya Yuuki, shared a room. In the end, Taka Fujii was left alone holding the last room card. He shouted unhappily: "No one is there."
Would you like to live in the same room as me?"
"If I live in the same room with you, you will definitely keep me chatting until very late, and I have to get up early tomorrow, forget it." Tanaka Yushu said what everyone was thinking, and the others kept nodding in agreement.
Fujii Takashi set his sights on Iori Yagami, as if he wanted him to live in the same room as him.
"I can stay in a room by myself." After Yagami noticed Fujii-senpai's gaze, he quickly sold his teammates: "Fujii-senpai can share a room with Masuko tonight."
The good old Toru Masuko, who was ruthlessly abandoned by Yagami Yagami, was pulled into their room by Fujii-senpai with an "I'm very angry" expression.
The remaining people laughed and went to their rooms, and then came out in twos and threes to go downstairs, and soon it was time to wait for dinner.
When Iori Yagami walked into the cafeteria, he saw a large group of people sitting together eating dinner. Miyukiichi was also sandwiched by Tokiyokuni and Murasuke Omuraichi on the left and right. The way he shrank while eating was indeed a bit funny.
Come on! Miyuki-kun.
I remember Isashiki and the others said that Higashi-senpai and the others seemed to have treated Takigawa in the same way last year. This was the kind of treatment he received from someone who was expected to become the main catcher.
After Yagami went to the buffet area to choose a meal, he sat with Jun Isashiki, Tetsuya Yuuki, and Toru Masuko, and chatted while eating.
After dinner, they went to the bathhouse together. After throwing the dirty clothes into the washing machine, they returned to their room and did some homework. They found that it was almost twenty o'clock, so they went to the conference room together.
Entering the conference room, Iori Yagami glanced around and saw Kazuya Miyuki and Naoya Kuraza sitting in a corner respectively, with expressions of despair.
Haha, you two are well cared for by your seniors! Higashi-senpai and Fujii-senpai will keep an eye on each other during training and meals as long as they like whoever they like.
Iori Yagami had no intention of chatting with the two of them. If he wanted to integrate into a team, if he did not have such a strong will, it would be useless to just rely on the encouragement of outsiders.
Soon, other people came to the conference room one after another, and Director Kataoka arrived at the conference room before 20:00.
Director Kataoka first made a post-match summary of today's two practice matches, pointing out the mistakes made by the players one by one, and then praised several players who performed better, such as Jun Isashiki who played for the first time.
, Kazuya Miyuki and Naoya Kuraza. Finally, Director Kataoka made his own arrangements for tomorrow’s practice match with Narita. The starting pitcher is Yagami Yagami and the catcher is Kentaro Matsuda.
After Kataoka's supervision, Takashima Rei added tomorrow's itinerary. They will gather outside the hotel at 8 a.m. tomorrow and set off for Narita High School in Chiba Prefecture. After the game, they will not do more in Chiba Prefecture.
After staying, I will go directly to Gunma County so that I can have time to have a practice match with two schools in Gunma County the day after tomorrow.
After Director Kataoka explained tomorrow's itinerary to Rei Takashima, he emphasized to everyone that tomorrow's schedule was very tight and asked everyone to go to bed early in the evening to prepare for tomorrow before letting them disperse.
Several second graders gathered in Iori Yagami's room to complete the homework assigned by the teacher during the Golden Week. Many third graders carried bats and ran to the open space outside the hotel to practice swinging. As for Miyuki Kazuya and others,
After the first-year students discovered that the second-year seniors were all doing their homework, Miyuki Kazuya and Kimura Takuya also ran into Kuraza Naoya's room and started copying his homework.
…
"Ping!"
The baseball flying from the pitcher's mound was accurately hit by the batter's bat, and flew backwards toward the area between second and third base. After landing, it bounced and avoided Narita's third baseman's cover.
Fly into left field territory.
Naoya Kuraza dropped the metal bat in his hand and started running the bases. Tetsuya Yuuki, a runner on Aido at third base, flew toward home plate from the pitcher's mound. After being hit by Naoya Kuraza, the baseball flew toward home plate.
Come running.
Seeing that Tetsuya Yuuki was about to rush over, Narita's catcher Miracle loudly signaled to the left fielder to return the baseball to first base in order to avoid losing runs.
However, just as he shouted, Naoya Kuraza had already successfully slid past the first base base.
Narita's supervisor frowned. Even the first-year students were hitting so well. Qingdao was really a famous line team. Once they connected the line, it would be really scary!
He looked at the scoreboard and saw that he had already lost two runs in a row. This was only the fifth inning, and there was still one out. He might change the pitcher in the next inning depending on the situation.
At the same time, there were new changes on the field. Naoya Kuraza stole a base and successfully ran to second base.
This first-year freshman named Kuraza Naoya has a strong sense of offense!
The supervisor of Narita High School decisively asked the referee for a timeout, summoned a team member to talk to him, and then asked him to go up and pass the order. This chapter has been completed!
