My girlfriend is a bad lady

Clearly, Toru Watanabe was not on the field. He was in the coaching booth out of sight of the cheering team. On the field was the ace pitcher Uchida who was running towards first base. Above his head, there were still many people shouting Toru Watanabe's name.

"...Coach, he only has ball speed, nothing else."

"Ah."

The catcher was fat and had his arms folded, watching calmly as the ace pitcher Uchida sprinted to the bases.

"Watanabe, you are already popular enough in Kamikawa. Koshien, the sacred stadium, will never be trampled upon by you!"

The batters had already decided their order at the start, and Toru Watanabe had no chance to come on.

Kunii Osamu came on as the fourth batter.

He hit the first ball thrown by the pitcher of Qingshan High School cleanly and efficiently.

With almost no hesitation, as if he knew he could hit it, he dropped the bat and ran towards first base.

Finally, he stepped on second base opposite the batter's box. At the same time, Uchida, who was originally standing on third base, ran back to home base smoothly, helping Kamikawa get a point.

The player originally on first base ran past second base and was hit on the way to third base and was out.

With two outs, Kamikawa can continue to score and can bring on the fifth batter.

Watanabe Toru dealt with the enthusiastic Kobayashi Yukiko, took the time to take a look, and understood a little more about the rules of baseball:

To score, the batter must run from the batter's box (home plate) where the ball is hit, to first base, second base, third base, and finally back to home plate to score a point.

It seems that you can't keep running in the middle. If the defense gets the ball and touches the runner on the base, the runner will be eliminated directly.

"So the pitcher is on the defensive side?" Watanabe Toru felt like he had finally gotten the hang of it.

Baseball, it's pretty simple.

The pitcher should not let the ball get hit; the batter should run after hitting the ball, and keep running as long as he is not touched by the opposing player with the ball.

"If I were the batter, wouldn't it be a sure win?" Watanabe Toru, who was fast and had the skill of [Dodge], thought to himself.

In the top of the third inning, Kamikawa scored 3 points.

In the second half, Toru Watanabe came on the field and hit nine fast, simple, boring, but screaming strikes, striking out three opposing batters and immediately starting the top of the fourth inning.

The catcher took off his glove, looked at his trembling left hand, and then looked at the back of Toru Watanabe who was greeting the audience.

Nine balls, same speed, same landing point.

This is absolute talent!

"Du..." He opened his mouth.

"Watanabe! Watanabe!"

"what--"

"Watanabe! I love you!"

“…” The catcher clenched his trembling hands into fists.

He sat down next to ace pitcher Uchida, crossed his arms, and pulled his baseball cap down:

"Uchida, let's dominate Koshien together."

"Well, come on!"

Toru Watanabe was bored with the simple pitching game and couldn't pitch to his heart's content.

As for the cheers from the Kamikawa cheerleaders, he was tired of hearing them when they yelled “Shout out my name loudly” during last year’s sports festival – at that time it was even louder than this, with the entire school cheering.

In the fifth inning, after striking out three opposing batters, the game that should have lasted nine innings suddenly ended.

"Did the other party admit defeat?" asked Toru Watanabe.

"The score is 21:0, it's over early! Let's go!"

"Where?"

"Curtain call."

Toru Watanabe followed the baseball team members onto the field. Because he was a reserve player among the reserves, he stood at the end of the team.

The two schools faced each other, each standing in a row.

As soon as they stood in position and took off their hats to salute each other, the air raid alarm sounded in the stadium.

The "Woo——" sound was extremely harsh.

Toru Watanabe straightened up, turned around and ran towards the seats of Kujo Miki, Kiyono Rin and Kujo Mrs. in the audience.

Because he was running so fast, when he rushed out of the baseball field, he found that except him, no one seemed to have responded to the air raid alarm.

"..."

Under the mocking gazes of Kujo Miki and others, he slowed down, took off his baseball cap as if nothing had happened, and flicked off the non-existent dust on it.

'At the end of it, the air raid sirens sounded and I learned a little bit about baseball.' He put his baseball cap back on.

"Watanabe! Watanabe!" Although the cheering team was surprised by his behavior just now, it did not prevent them from being excited when they saw Watanabe Toru up close and face to face, and they all shouted loudly.

"You guy, do you have to be so anxious?" Kunijimasu and others came over.

The Kamikawa baseball team stood in a row again, bowed to salute the supporting team, and shouted in unison:

"Thank you so much!"

After the ceremony, the competition is considered to be over.

When leaving the field with the Kamikawa team members who were chatting and laughing, Toru Watanabe suddenly heard the uniform cheering from the opposite side.

"Come on, Qingshan! Come on, Qingshan!"

They are the cheering team of Aoyama High School.

They were eliminated in the first inning of the preliminaries. The rainy season had not yet ended, and summer had not really begun, but the Aoyama High School baseball team's journey to Koshien had already ended.

They bowed to the classmates who came to support them even though it was the weekend, and did not look up for a long time.

The few people in the middle lowered their heads and wiped their tears.

Most people hide their expressions under their baseball caps.

"Watanabe-kun, don't feel sorry for them!" The female baseball manager was holding her luggage. "There are winners and losers in every game. Since we were eliminated in the first round of Koshien last year, we have been training every day and deserve every victory!"

"I know, it's hard." Toru Watanabe thought of the baseball team jogging every morning, the cheers he heard after school every day, and the figures swinging bats on the playground on weekends.

"Watanabe-kun, my father asked me to ask you if you are interested in officially joining the team?"

"Thank you, but no thanks. I still have to coach the wind band."

Koshien, this stage filled with passion, hard work and dreams, is not a place for him who has never participated in a day of training and does not know the rules, to show off himself.

Returning to the audience, he was warmly welcomed by the cheering team and the wind band.

"Watanabe-kun, didn't they let you officially join the team?" Mrs. Kujo still had the inflatable ball in her hand.

"Invited."

"When is the next game? I'll be here with Xiaolin, Miki and I to cheer you on. Oh, and call Yuuko to join us! Let's march to Koshien! Let's march to Koshien!"

Youko is the name of Mrs. Kiyono.

Qing Ye Lin continued:

"I'm going to coach the wind band, and I'm not interested in baseball, no, I'm not interested in any sports. People who like sports are my second most hated group of people, except for liars."

As she spoke, her expression became gloomy and cold.

"I have work and don't have time." said Miki Kujo.

"That's Watanabe-kun's match, and it's not held every day. I just asked, and there are only 8 preliminaries at most." Mrs. Kujo tempted.

Qing Ye Lin glanced at Watanabe Toru and said with a faint smile:

"It's a win anyway, there's no suspense in the game, and it's a sports game, so I don't think it's worth going out of my way to watch it."

"What Xiaolin means is that as long as Watanabe-kun plays, we will definitely win?" asked Mrs. Kujo.

"I believe in my subordinates." Qingye Rin confidently lifted her long hair from her shoulders.

"Thank you for your envious remarks." Kujo Miki said with a smile, "But he is mine."

Qing Ye Lin looked at her, and before she could speak, Watanabe Toru quickly said, "They did invite me, but I refused."

"Reject? What's the reason?" Mrs. Kujo asked, "For male high school students, Koshien should be everyone's dream."

Watanabe Toru glanced at the court and said, "That's why I refused."

After hearing this, Qingye Rin stared at Watanabe Toru with her cold and charming eyes.

"What's wrong?" he asked curiously.

“…Forget it.” Qingye Rin withdrew his gaze.

The shiny and charming long black hair was draped over her chest, and her profile was submerged in the black hair.

Watanabe Toru couldn't see her expression clearly.

Chapter 295 The Last Summer (1)

A faint marigold color spreads across the sky at dusk.

Mrs. Kujo raised her arms, stretched her body, and after a long sigh, she turned her head and said:

"Rin-chan, Miki, Watanabe-kun, would you like to have dinner together?"

Qingye Rin hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

The four of them stood up, and Watanabe Toru lowered his voice and asked Kujo Miki:

"Shall I talk to them?"

Kujo Miki hugged her elbows with both hands and glanced at him.

"Teacher, senior, goodbye." Watanabe Toru raised his voice and said to the two of them.

Asu Mai nodded.

"Goodbye." Koizumi Aona responded, and then she said to Mrs. Kujo: "Kujo mother, goodbye!"

"Goodbye. Teacher Koizumi, I'll leave Miki to you at school." Kujo Maki responded with an elegant and calm smile.

After saying that, she took the arms of Kujo Miki and Kiyono Rin and walked towards the exit.

"I'm suddenly very hungry. Is there anything I want to eat? Let's go to Minato-ku? Find a restaurant by Tokyo Bay and enjoy delicious food while watching the sunset?"

"It's up to you to decide." Qingye Rin responded indifferently.

"Where is Watanabe-kun?" Mrs. Kujo turned around and asked.

"All is fine." Toru Watanabe picked up the coat on Miki Kujo's chair, shook it twice, and followed.

After walking a few steps, five or six girls from the cheerleading team suddenly ran over.

"Watanabe-kun, today's game was amazing!" said the leading third-grade girl in an admiring tone.
