Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 100 Senior Takako's Sense of Crisis
"Are we going to start the seminar now? Today's competition just ended. Zhou Hui, you guys must have worked so hard!"

Director Matsuoka couldn't help but sigh.

It is rare for junior high school coaches to think about the next opponent right after a game.

Even the national champion Hokkaido Eagles will not start a new round of seminars until at least the next night.

"You'll get used to it. I wasn't used to it at first either."

As he spoke, Zhou Hui stood up and walked to his seat.

Seeing Zhou Hui's skillful movements, a hint of heartache and pride flashed in Zhou's mother and father's eyes.

They are proud because their son has become a famous baseball player in West Tokyo and is admired by many people.

They felt heartbroken because, with just this one action, they seemed to see the suffering their sons had endured in Qingdao High School in the past few months.

It is definitely not something that ordinary people can endure.

"Let's go out."

Supervisor Matsuoka stood up first and was about to leave the meeting room with the three people.

As a supervisor, he knew very well that the players should not be disturbed at this time, so he set an example.

"Ok."

Zhou's father and mother followed closely behind and walked out of the meeting room together.

Gradually, the parents of other students also came out.

Before walking out, Kuramochi's mother kept looking back at Kuramochi every three steps.

He was still worried.

When he was in his hometown of Chiba, Kuramochi would fight whenever he disagreed with something, and he was the kind of gangster that he was.

Although he has changed a lot in the two years since he came to Qingdao High School, his eyes and behavior still have the feeling of a gangster.

She also didn't know whether Kuramochi had changed, or whether sending him to Tokyo was a good choice.

There were two reasons why Kuramochi was sent to Tokyo in the first place.

The first is to prevent him from hanging out with those bad people in his hometown, and the second is that Kuramochi really has the ability.

Takashima Rei came all the way from Tokyo to poach Kuramochi, and this was the first time that Kuramochi's mother saw her son's talents besides fighting.

"Kuramochi, you must have changed, right?"

After everyone left, Director Kataoka came in with Watanabe.

Chris is still receiving treatment, so he couldn't come with us.

The moment Director Matsuoka saw Director Kataoka, he felt that he looked familiar, but he just couldn't remember who he was.

It seems like I have seen it in some kind of competition.

Both of them are of similar age, but chose to become baseball team managers at a very young age.

It’s just that one of them’s audience is junior high school students, while the other one’s is high school students.

"Was this coach also from Seidou? I think I met him in Koshien before."

Supervisor Matsuoka muttered to himself.

Maybe he was the only one who recognized him, and Director Kataoka might have forgotten him long ago.

After coming out of the conference room, Senior Takako also gathered with the other three baseball team managers, but her eyes looked a little strange and she kept biting her handkerchief.

"Hey? What happened to Senior Takako?"

Haruno was the first to notice that something was wrong with Senior Takako. She was different from the usual Senior Takako!
"Now that you put it that way it's true."

Another manager, Yukiko Umemoto, also noticed something was wrong.

Umemoto is also one of the managers of Seidou High School's baseball team. He is usually carefree and the sound of his cheers for the team is no less than that of the second-tier players.

There is only one reason, that is, he really loves baseball and really hopes that Seidou High School can win.

"What happened, Takako-senpai?"

Xiachuan lowered his head and looked up at Senior Sister Takako's face.

"Oh, it's okay."

Senior Guizi pretended that nothing had happened and refused to look at Xia Chuan. She just bit her handkerchief and looked at Liu Han's place from time to time. "What happened?"

Haruno showed her silly look, wanting to know what Takako-senpai was thinking.

"It can't be because of that girl."

Xia Chuan seemed to have thought of something and pointed at Liu Han.

Liu Han had her back to the four people, so she didn't notice that Xia Chuan was pointing at her.

"Are you the roundworm in my stomach? How do you know everything?"

Senior Takako's face immediately turned red and she covered her face with a handkerchief.

When a rival sees a rival, he should be extremely jealous and would start fighting at the slightest disagreement. But he didn't expect that when it came to Senior Sister Guizi, he would blush immediately.

When she just entered the meeting room, she noticed Liu Han and Zhou Hui talking and laughing, and she was very jealous.

She obviously liked Zhou Hui very much and was trying to get close to him every day, but Zhou Hui was talking and laughing with other girls.

These were things she had never had.

"That girl seems to be from China as well. She might be Zhou Hui's childhood sweetheart."

Haruno said.

"what?!"

After hearing this, Senior Guizi became even more heartbroken.

As childhood sweethearts, doesn’t this girl know Zhou Hui better than I do?

"Think more positively, Senior Takako. Aren't they still in a relationship?"

Seeing Takako-senpai's love-brained look, Haruno kept trying to comfort her.

I really don’t know what kind of magic Zhou Hui has that can make Senior Guizi so obsessed with him.

Haruno, however, is different from others. He has never been able to discover the charm of Zhou Hui.

Others, on the other hand, have always been fascinated by Zhou Hui.

For example, in Haruno's class, many people wanted Zhou Hui's contact information.

They even went to great lengths to please Haruno just to get Zhou Hui's contact information.

This made Haruno feel at a loss as to what to do in class.

After all, she was the only one in the class who had connections with the baseball team, and there was no other way for her to get close to Zhou Hui.

Being the fourth baton runner in the first grade, this identity is indeed fascinating and intimidating.

"Yes, that's right. The two of them haven't confirmed their relationship yet."

Senior Takako took the handkerchief off her face, folded it and put it back in her pocket.

“It’s changing so fast.”

Xiachuan was also shocked by Senior Takako's reaction.

"I still have a chance, yes, I still have a chance."

“I seem to have seen this scene before.”

Xia Chuan pinched his chin and recalled the previous scenes.

"Have you forgotten? Senior Sister Takako was like this when she was pursuing Senior Sister Kusunoki."

Umemoto said to Natsukawa.

After hearing this, Xia Chuan finally understood.

No wonder this scene looks so familiar, it turns out I have seen it before.

Afterwards, Senior Guizi kept looking in Liu Han's direction, and there was even a hint of hostility in her eyes.

Liu Han was completely unaware of all this.

But she didn't know that her appearance had already made Senior Takako feel a sense of crisis.
