I became the best friend of the heroine in Love Tour

Chapter 334 Someone is calling me?
Ida Jujuro walked to the faucet with resentment, turned on the faucet and placed his injured finger under it.

As the water rushed over the bloody fingers, the wounds between the nails were exposed.

The wound is not small and needs to be bandaged.

Just to avoid being discovered by others, the bandage cannot be too tight and gloves must be worn.

Thinking of this, Date Jujuro turned off the faucet and prepared to go to the lounge to find a Band-Aid or something to make do with.

"What's wrong, Shierlang? Are you hurt?"

Suddenly, someone patted me from behind, just when I was feeling the most guilty.

Date Jujuro almost cried out.

When he turned his head and looked behind him in panic, he found that it was the deputy minister Yuchi Yokota.

"Deputy Minister, it's you."

Fortunately, it wasn't Minister Morii, and Date Jujuro breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared to the man who said what he meant, the plump vice-captain Yokota Yuchi, who looked like Maitreya Buddha, was a famous good guy in the baseball club. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come here to care about him.

It was better for him to discover the wound on his finger than for Minister Morii or Coach Kikuta to discover it.

"Your finger is injured? Let me take a look. The wound is not big, but it happened to hurt the gap between your fingers? You can't hold the ball steadily like this, right?"

Grabbing Date Jujuro's hand, Yokota Yuchi felt some phantom pain when looking at the wound.

It really hurts if you injure your little toes or the spaces between your nails.

What's more, as a pitcher, Date Jujuro actually injured his finger. If he couldn't use too much strength to grab the ball, he wouldn't be able to throw a good enough ball.

"It's okay, I can do it. Just put on a Band-Aid." Date Jujuro acted as if he didn't care, casually waved his hands and walked towards the lounge to get a Band-Aid.

Looking at Date Jujuro who pretended to be fine, Yokota Yuchi pressed the other's shoulder.

"It's not okay, is it? Your fingers are injured. If you don't take good care of it, it will get worse."

"Come with me to the infirmary, oh no, we should go to the hospital."

"If you want to get better quickly, you have to do something better. I'll go talk to Coach Kikuta and tell them that you shouldn't participate in the practice match this time."

After listening to what Yokota Yuchi said, Date Jujuro suddenly turned around and looked at the fat senior in front of him.

"I won't give up this practice match. It's just a broken fingernail. What's the big deal?"

"Besides, Vice President, you know it well, right? My condition has not been very good since I joined this high school baseball club. If I don't perform well, I won't be able to participate in Koshien at all."

"I don't want to be seen in such an awkward state by Minister Morii. I need a chance to play and show myself. This practice match is a chance to prove myself. Do you understand, Senior Yokota!?"

He became more and more excited as he spoke, and Date Jujuro grabbed Yokota Yuchi's clothes tightly.

Because he used too much force, the blood from his injured finger flowed onto Yuchi Yokota's body.

Looking at Date Jujuro who was working so hard in front of him, Yokota Yuchi was silent for a while.

He finally softened his heart.

"I understand." Yokota Yushichi nodded and said, "I won't tell Coach Kikuta and Minister Morii, but don't force it too much."

"When you are in practice, come down when you can't hold on any longer. Don't be too anxious. Everyone has low points."

"Don't worry too much even if you haven't performed well recently. Minister Morii, Coach Kikuta and I all know that you are very talented. This is just a practice match, not Koshien."

Failing to allow Date Jujuro to participate in this practice match when he is trying to prove himself might lead to some unpleasant consequences.

It can be said that Date Jujuro's self-esteem is stronger than anyone else in the baseball team. This kind of personality allows him to perform at an extraordinary level during the game, but it also makes it easy for him to decline after a setback.

In order to stabilize the mental state of this junior player, Yuchi Yokota really could not refuse Jujuro Date.

"I understand. If I can't pitch during the game, I will leave the field by myself. Thank you, Yokota-senpai." Date Jujuro breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Yokota Yushichi in front of him.

So when he saw that it was Yuchi Yokota behind him, he felt relieved at the first moment.

Because of Yuchi Yokota's personality, as long as you try hard to ask him, he will agree to your request.

If he doesn't try his best and put in all his effort, how can he win?
Especially now that there is an additional player, Yoichi Akimoto, who can throw heavy balls that even he can't throw easily.

The yellow-haired boy who could have conflicts with bad guys, play the piano, recite poems, and had so many girls around him was now recognized by Coach Kikuta as an excellent pitcher seed.

In front of him is Minister Morii, whom he admires, and behind him is the talented Akimoto Yoichi.

As a pitcher, Date Jujuro couldn't think of any reason to act like a spoiled child. Not to mention a finger injury, even if his arm was broken he would still stand on the field and pitch.

"Then I'll take you to the infirmary to get bandaged. Don't worry, I will keep it a secret from Director Morii and Coach Kikuta." Looking at Date Jujuro who didn't want to go to the infirmary, Yokota Yuchi coaxed him like he was coaxing his younger brother.

Looking at the junior who was following him reluctantly, Yokota Yuchi couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This junior student has great talent and experience, but his personality is a bit weird.

When Yuchi Yokota brought Juichiro Date to the infirmary, Yuchi Yokota's cell phone rang.

"Okay, okay, I got it. I'll be there right away." After hanging up the phone, Yokota Yuchi said to Date Jujuro who was sitting in front of the health teacher, "I won't accompany you. Our opponent for this practice match, Sugikawa High School, is here. As the vice president, I have to go there."

"Then I will too..." Date Jujuro also wanted to meet his opponent this time, but he was interrupted by Yokota Yuchi before he could finish his words.

"You better bandage it well, otherwise I won't keep it a secret for you."

"……I see."

Regardless of Date Jujuro and Yokota Yuchi, they had already run out.

As deputy minister, he cannot be absent.

Date Jujuro could only stretch out his hand and hand it to the health teacher in front of him, while watching Yokota Yuchi's back as he left.

At this moment, the health teacher's voice drew his attention back.

"Is your finger getting more and more painful? Try moving it. In this case, there is a possibility of a fractured finger."

Broken bone? Not just a broken finger?
"No, I don't feel any pain..."

Date Jujuro moved his fingers without taking it seriously, but felt a sharp pain the moment he moved.

But he didn't show it at this moment. If he had, the teacher in front of him would definitely not let him participate in the practice match.

So, he pretended nothing had happened, flexed his fingers a few times, and clenched his teeth.

"It's okay, I don't feel any pain."

"Teacher, just help me bandage it. I still have to compete next."

"I'll go to the hospital for a checkup after the practice match is over. Please, teacher."

Looking at Date Jujuro who showed no reaction, the health teacher nodded.

"Okay, then during the practice match later, if you feel something wrong with your fingers, stop immediately and don't force it."

Yuchi Yokota said the same thing.

"Yeah, I know." It's impossible to stop, Date Jujuro said to himself.

If he doesn't perform well in this practice match, he will not only embarrass himself in front of everyone in the baseball club, but his position will also be taken away by the rookie Akimoto Yoichi.

His pride would never allow that. Even if his bones were broken, so what? At least he wanted to finish this practice match.

On the other side, Yuchi Yokota ran towards the baseball club.

As soon as he walked out of the teaching building, he saw a group of high school students wearing uniforms from other schools gathered near the baseball team's training ground.

Looking at the familiar Sugikawa High School uniform, Yuchi Yokota quickened his pace.

"Captain Morii, Coach Kikuta, I'm here."

"Where have you been?" Morii Jinpachi asked casually as he looked at Yokota Yuchi who had just run over.

Yokota Yuchi replied somewhat awkwardly: "I am going to..."

"Why is there blood here on your body? Are you injured?" Jinpachi Morii saw the obvious bloodstains on Yuchi Yokota's white clothes.

Yuchi Yokota scratched his head, thinking about how to prevaricate.

There were no injuries on his body.

"Here he comes, our old rival is here." Coach Kikuta's voice interrupted Yuchi Yokota's explanation.

The three of them then looked towards the baseball team of Sugikawa High School who were lining up towards them.

Compared to Izuki High School, Sugikawa High School, a private high school with a similarly strong baseball team, has much stricter discipline.

Be it the clothes, the uniform bald heads, or even the expressions on their faces, they are all the same.

Rather than looking like a group of students, they look more like a group of monks.

Leading the group of students was a man wearing glasses and with a hard face that looked as if it had been carved by a knife.

This group of people walked to the door of the baseball club and stood in front of Coach Kikuta and others.

"Hello, Coach Kikuta and everyone from the Izuki High School baseball club. I am honored to accept your invitation to participate in this practice match. I hope that both of us can perform better than our previous performance in Koshien."

The man with glasses spoke in a deep voice, his eyes scanning the people in the Dezuki High School baseball team in front of him.

One can clearly feel a sense of oppression from him.

Coach Kikuta, Jinpachi Morii, and Yuchi Yokota looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

"Hello, Coach Yasuda. We only tried our best in the last Koshien, and even so, we only got second place. We are not the champions, so everyone from Sugikawa High School does not need to work too hard."

Unlike Coach Yasuda who remained silent, Coach Kikuta answered with a smile.

"After all, you have already started preparing for the next Spring National League, right? You won't use all your starting lineups in this practice match and expose your strength, right?"

"This practice match is mainly for the purpose of learning and exchanging ideas between us as competitors and partners fighting together in Koshien. Friendship comes first and competition comes second."

Because in the last competition, Detsuki High School took second place and Sugikawa High School took third place.

At this moment, Sugikawa High School acted as if they had seen the murderer of their father.

This forced Coach Kikuta to remind them that this was a practice match.

"Haha, that's true." Coach Yasuda chuckled a few times, but the muscles on his face didn't move at all.

Any talk of friendship during this practice match was just a polite remark.

Take advantage of this practice match to spy on the opponent's strength and find out what threats are in the opponent's team.

Collecting data and preparing to defeat the opponent in the spring national league, this is the reason why Sugikawa High School accepted the invitation from the Dezuki High School baseball team.

Of course, they at Chuyue High School also hold the same idea. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated.

"Okay, you guys come over and say hello."

Following Coach Yasuda's voice, several people walked out from the group of bald heads behind him.

"Hello everyone at Izuki High School. I'm sure you all know me by now, but let me introduce myself again. I'm a sophomore at Sugikawa High School, and I'm Yoshida Hayabusa taking over as the captain of the baseball club this year."

The bald man with a few scars on his forehead introduced himself.

"I'm also a sophomore at Sugikawa High School, and this year's vice-captain of the baseball club, Ryoki Kuroda."

The bald man, whose height was particularly conspicuous, also gave his name.

After the two people reported their names, they stepped forward to greet Coach Kikuta, Jinpachi Morii, and Yuchi Yokota.

"Second year at Izuki High School, headmaster Jinpachi Morii."

"Also a second-year student, Vice President Yokota Yushichi."

The ministers and deputy ministers of the two schools shook hands.

Just when the atmosphere seemed peaceful, a nonchalant voice suddenly came from the side.

"Hmm? That's not right. Is there a shortage of people in your school, Dezuki High School?" The speaker was the only boy in Sugikawa High School who had hair on his head, and it was in a ponytail.

Coach Yasuda's first reaction when he saw this guy jump out was to cover his face.

The minister Hayabusa Yoshida and the deputy minister Ryoki Kuroda tried to stop him, but the boy with the ponytail dodged flexibly.

Regardless of the people around him trying to stop him, the ponytailed boy walked into the crowd of the baseball team of Dezuki High School with a grin on his face, looking left and right while continuing to speak.

"I don't think I saw the best pitcher from junior high school?"

"I heard that he rejected the invitation from Koshien Champion Academy and came to Izuki High School, but why didn't I see him?"

"Oh, the rumor that his condition has been getting worse since he joined your Izuki High School can't be true?"

He glanced at the Dezuki High School baseball team in front of him. He knew Morii Jinpachi and Yokota Yuchi.

One of these two players is a strong pitcher, and the other is a brain that can coordinate other team members.

In addition to these two familiar faces, there were many new faces among the baseball club members, but among these faces there was no one he wanted to see.

"Don't be rude! Come back here, Noguchi Hiroya!"

Coach Yasuda scolded in a low voice.

His fierce face alone can scare away most students.

But it is obvious that the vast majority of students here do not include Hiroya Noguchi.

"Haha! Look! There's a Shabi playing a ball throwing game with an elementary school student over there! Hahahaha, what kind of colored pen is that? He's playing with an elementary school girl! Your Chuyue High School is really full of talented people! I'm dying of laughter! Who is that guy over there? Is such a top-notch person also a member of your Chuyue High School baseball club? Is he mentally ill? Hahaha..."

Ponytail's voice was very loud, loud enough for Akimoto Yoichi, who was originally not interested in joining in the fun, to hear it.

Everyone in Detsuki High School who knew Akimoto Yoichi's background couldn't help but secretly think that something was wrong.

At this time, Akimoto Yoichi was already walking towards this side.
