Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 90 Are They Cheating?

"I didn't expect Seidou to perform like this after the first catcher Chris left the game. This proves that Chris didn't have much influence on them. Miyuki is not much different. His pitching is bold, but not as delicate as Chris's. They both have their own advantages."

"What are you talking about, you fat bastard? My son is the greatest high school catcher in the world. It's not something a third-tier reporter like you can casually comment on."

Upon hearing negative comments about her son, Animare immediately went up to argue with Fujio, determined to determine who was right and who was wrong.

As the saying goes, daughters are their fathers’ close-fitting little cotton-padded jackets. Compared with sons, most fathers are “daughter slaves”.

But maybe it’s because there is only one child in the family, and it’s a son, Animaar is a real “son slave”.

From the moment Chris was born, he was taken good care of and treated as his own "darling".

Chris’s previous injury had made him feel uncomfortable for a long time, and Animaar felt heartbroken all day long at that time.

After giving up his job and taking a long vacation, Animaer took Chris to the country's top hospital to seek medical treatment and medicine, which helped Chris' injuries to improve.

Now, Chris' injury has relapsed due to a sliding base, which undoubtedly makes him feel nervous.

What made him most angry was that there were still reporters making sarcastic remarks here.

"Sorry, sorry, this is a mistake in our organizational language."

Fujio immediately extended his hands to apologize.

Animare did not continue with the matter and let it pass.

It would be a lie to say that I wasn't angry, it's just because he is a public figure now and his every word and action is under the media cameras.

He can't do anything that is even slightly out of the ordinary.

At the very least, they can hold a press conference to apologize and the matter will be over.

In serious cases, Animaer may be kicked out of the entertainment industry and can only live on the money he saved from his professional baseball days and in the entertainment industry.

"Bottom of the fourth inning, Seidou High School is on offense, the seventh batter, third baseman, is Masuko-san."

"Ula uh uh uh la uh!"

Masuko Toru shouted his own lines and walked step by step to the batter's box.

Starting with Toru Masuko, Yakushi High School also noticed that Seidou High School's momentum began to pick up.

It seems like no one can stop it.

In this situation, Pharmacist High School is not sure what their chances of winning are.

Their confidence had just been boosted by Honglei City's home run, but they didn't expect that with Chris's injury, the momentum of the guys from Qingdao High School once surpassed them.

"Chris, we will definitely bring you to Koshien, just take good care of your injuries."

After Masuko Toru entered the batter's box, he prayed and spoke to Chris in his heart.

After this incident, the game gradually became unfair.

When every batter of Seidou High School goes to the batter's box to swing the bat, they are not alone, Chris will also give them a helping hand.

"Whoosh!"

Ball path: high outside corner.

Ball speed: about 136km.

The pitch path was very obvious, with almost no surprises and no routines to speak of. If the bat was swung normally, it would not be a problem for Seidou High School, which has the best batting line-up in the country.

In that case, Masuko Toru has nothing to worry about.

Just swing with determination.

"Qiang!"

The little white ball flew out of the batter's box, and the second baseman jumped up desperately, trying to stop the flight of the baseball with his glove.

Unfortunately, the height is still a little short.

If I were taller, the result might not be the same.

The baseball landed right behind the second baseman.

Toru Masuko hits a single!
No one out, first base occupied.

"Another guy is on base."

Coach Kataoka felt relieved. At least now someone was on base, so their hopes of scoring were not over. This was always the best.

"Eighth batter, right fielder, Hakushu-san."

Hakushu didn't hesitate, he stood up and walked towards the batter's box.

The most stable man in Qingdao High School.

Although it looks ordinary, Hakushu is stable.

He doesn't have strong defense, nor does he have speed to be proud of, nor does he have explosive hitting.

I can order a little bit of everything, and they’re all at an upper-middle level.

This is why he can be trusted by Director Kataoka.

Baizhou had already demonstrated these points to the fullest during the rookie test.

It can’t be said that debut is the peak.

But now, Hakushu has become an important part of Qingdao High School's tactical system.

"There's a runner on first base, so he can't steal. Besides, he's a right-handed hitter. Let me show you my jet ball."

Sanada changed his hand shape, and this time he did not choose the Carter Ball, but a Jet Ball.

He almost didn't use this ball in this game.

"Whoosh!"

The baseball stabbed towards Hakushu's chest, and from the right-hand batter's perspective, it was getting closer and closer to him.

"Qiang!"

“Through it!!!”

"Yakushi High School's first baseman Mishima didn't react in time, and the baseball was hit through first base. The runner on first base, Masuko, was advancing to the next base. Seidou High School was in a great situation, with no one out and runners on first and second base!"

Shirasu took off his batting gloves and helmet, a smile of victory appearing on his face.

Chris' influence is really strong!
"Ninth batter, pitcher, Furuya-san."

Everyone has already witnessed Akira Jōgō's striking ability in the previous game.

His batting ability is definitely the most outstanding among the pitchers of Seidou High School.

Being good at both offense and defense is what an ace pitcher is made for.

After this year's third-year players retire, it is very likely that Akira Fōtani's rank will be promoted to around the sixth batting level.

"Furuya's batting ability should be enough to load the bases. Now it's up to you, Kuramochi."

Director Kataoka gave orders to Kuramochi.

The cold tone seemed to mean that Kuramochi could not come back unless he hit a home run.

"Qiang!"

After two strikes and two balls, Akira Fōgaya locked in a high inside corner straight ball.

This ball was not too close to Fōgiya Akira's chest, so it was quite comfortable to hit.

The final location of the baseball is the "defensive blind spot" of the first baseman and right fielder.

A place that no one can take care of.

But this distance only allows them to advance one base.

The game situation has already become loaded, making Seidou High School's scoring pattern become clear.

The next at-bat was again in the upper batting line.

Qingdao High School's scoring opportunity is coming again.

"No way, how come their status has suddenly recovered so much?"

"Damn it! Are they cheating?"
