Vol 7 Chapter 5 (2/2)
Yuuji doesn't look bothered by it as he said it with a smile on his face His summoned beast bends down to picks up the bell that was dropped due to the impact
“I see, Sakananimous”
“No no I'm not really a kind person”
Both of the their smiles as they said that peacefully After that, Yuuji throws the ball hard at the opponent with all his force
--At the summoned beast of that mohican-head sempai between us
With the blunt impact sound, Yuuji threw the ball directly at the mohican-sempai's summoned beast head
Class A, Tsunemura Yuusaku, Chemistry, 191 points
Vs
Class F, Sakamoto Yuuji, Chemistry, 109 points
“Sorry sempai It seem that I really can't control my summoned beast well”
This tiot reduced Yuuji lost about 100 points, and yet the opponent lost only about 30 It seems that since Yuuji's summoned beast eakened, the difference in poas clearly shown on the ball that was pitched
“But this can't be helped A lot of accidents happen in sports, right?”
“Uuye, yea I'll forgive you with a se anyway”
The mohican-head se out of his forehead I see that he really looks like he wants to rush up to Yuuji However, he showed these emotions to the umpire,
“YOU TWO, CONCENTRATE ON THE MATCH! BOTH OF YOU WILL BE EJECTED IF YOU DO SUCH A THING AGAIN!!”
““””
After being lectured by the u more as they return back to positions to colove And my summoned beast readies itself to fire another pitch
Before I pitched, ave me
(It's time, Akihisa)
(Got it)
I finally got the attack signal frolove is set at the middle, but my pitch is aimed at the batter's head Aim at the head and throw I must break the enemy's head!
“Bring it, Yoshi+!”
Theposturethat's an easy way to swing, either for the catcher or the hitter—he should be aiht? That hit just now ht noe just need to blow off the enemy's head
In this tense atmosphere, my summoned beast lets out the 2nd pitch
The ball that's aimed at the forehead of the batter and the bat that's deliberately aimed at the catcher let out forceful hits as we all hit our targets like ere attracted
“--HIT BY PITCH!”
Don, dongthe ball rolled on the ground several times, and the results of the attack are shown
Class A, Tsunemura Yuusaku, Chemistry, 177 points
Vs
Class F, Sakamoto Yuuji, Chemistry, 7 points
“AKIHISA YOU IDIOT! YOU DIDN'T DECREASE HIS POINTS BY MUCH!!”
“WHAT ABOUT YOU, YUUJI! YOU GOT HIT TOO MUCH! DEFEND YOURSELF PROPERLY!!”
Yuuji got 100 points reduced, and that mohican-head se to be killed by them
“OI, YOU bastardS! THAT WAS DELIBERATE, RIGHT? YOU HAVE GUTS TO DO THIS TO YOUR SENIORS!”
“WHAT NONSENSE ARE YOU SPOUTING!? YOU SEMPAIS ARE ANGRY THAT YOU LOST TO US IN THE TEST OF COURAGE, RIGHT!?”
“WHAT ARE YOU SAYING!? IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO IT LIKE THIS, FORGET ABOUT WHAT BASEBALL TOURNAMENT OR SUCH, LET'S JUST--”
“FINE BY ME! I HAD ENOUGH OF YOU THIRD YEARS ANYWAY LET'S--”
The other bench players started a commotion It's true that we didn't like each other, so it can't be helped that there would be so onistic intent Is this the chaos that Yuuji planned to raise?
Acting as the catcher, Yuuji sin, I have to hurry up and choose et the chance
“STOP YOU!! ALL YOU IDIOTS!!”
At this moment, a certain person with a hoarse voice entered the fray that's about to beco here to interfere while our objective was about to be complete!
“Really, you brats are really a lost causewhy can't you be obedient even when I let you people use suht it out?”
Putting her hand on her forehead as she said this—is the daranny who always interfered with us
“WHAT THE HECK, GRANNY!? WHY DID YOU COME HERE!!?”
Yuuji inadvertently clicked his tongue and questioned her Besides, since his plan was ruined, I can understand Yuuji's reason for being unhappy
“CALL ME THE PRINcipaL, YOU damnED BRAT!!!”
The principal snorted as she turned to Yuuji She then turned around to glare at all of us before saying,
“Reallythe moment I heard that you two classes are matched up, I immediately came over to see the situation To think that it ended up like this again It's rare for the guests to find that our suood I can't possibly allow all you idiots to wreck it and ruin the school's reputation”
It seeranny came over to watch us once she saw that it was us class 2-F vs 3-Ashe really thought everything through
“Please don't stop us, principal! We have a duty to use physical education to teach those useless scum from 2-F what respect and common sense is about!”
“We're the ones who can't stand you guys! Treating others as idiots and looking down on us so badly! Principal, please let us kill these sempai scums who love to put an act!
“I TOLD ALL OF YOU TO SHUT UP!!! YOU damnED BRATS!!!”
Facing the quarrelling group of people, the principal roared again As expected, an elderly person sure can do things when she takes action Everyone just shut up once she roared
“Really, you idiotsso you would come up with this because the pain of the summoned beasts won't be inflicted on you”
The principal shook her head reluctantly, thinking as she stares at us
Finally, as she puts her hands on her hips, she decide to say to us,
“I've decided to change the settings of the summoned beasts in this match”
“““Huh?”””
Everyone present just expressed their doubts in unison
Change the settings of the summoned beasts? What does that mean?”
“Only this once, just once I'll let all of you feel the pain that's inflicted on the summoned beasts With that, you won't think about all sorts of nonsense and play ball seriously, right?”
Inflicting the pain the su the summoned beasts to be like mine?
“Alright, that'll be it All of you are to play seriously now!”
Leaving these words behind, the principal waved her hand and turn around to walk to the school building
“Eh, now”
Things just happened out of a sudden, and for a while, I didn't knohat to do It's alright to change the settings of the summoned beasts, but if that's the case, what about our plan?
“Sorry, please allow us to take a timeout”
Yuuji asked for a timeout to the umpire, and thisthat, we should start a strategy
Yuuji and the infield players are all gathered near the pitcher's mound Okay, what do we do now?
“What do we do now, Yuuji? Our plan to create chaos was ruined”
Our plan right fro was to create chaos with the 3rd years, but it ended up like this, so our plan could only end with failure We can't win if we play with them head on!
“No probles are different from what I expected, but if that's the case, we can launch our secret weapon here”
“Secret weapon?”
“That's right It's a good thing that the next batter's that baldy, so there's no need to go easy on him”
After saying that, Yuuji walked to the u for a switch of players
“Himeji will replace Yoshi+ as the pitcher, Yoshi+ will be the catcher, I as the catcher will switch to shi+mada's 3rd base”
So the defensive aligned? So Himeji-san is the pitcher, I'll be the catcher, Yuuji defends 3rd base, and Minami returns to the bench to rest?
We follow Yuuji's instructions and head to our respectively areas Hi to Yuuji to say so to him I can't hear the?
“Sakamoto-kun, I, I can't be the pitcher I never played baseball before, and I can't really play sports”
“Calm down, Himeji Listen to me”
“No, no! I can't! I can't do it”
“Baseball focuses on teamwork, so the trust between the teammates is important—especially the pitcher and the catcher, which has to be the closest”
“Ah, I seebut”
“A pitcher and catcher that can create a beautiful combination—it's often called 'husband and wife' in baseball”
“Eh? Husband and wife”
“That's right From now on, I won't be the catcher Akihisa will be the one The result of this ood 'husband and wife' relationshi+p”
“”
“You must believe in your relationshi+p with Akihisa, so throw that ball in your hand out to see it Akihisa will use all his strength and catch your pitch That's the 'partner'--no, 'husband and wife' relationshi+p”
“II got it!”
“Reth Don't think about where the ball will go Just use all your strength to pass your feelings to Akihisa If you deliberately hold back, your trust between each other can't be established”
“I understand!”
What's going on? I don't knohat's going on, but I have a bad feeling about this
Just when I' at this unknown chill, Hi over She looks really energetic
”WellAkihisa-kun, please guide h!”
”Mn, please guide h as well, Himeji-san”
Hi
”I believe in Akihisa-kun, I'll pitch the ball with all I got!”
”Haha, I'm happy to hear that Let's do our best”
”Okay! Let's do our best Let's create a wonderful family! Wellmy, my beloved”
What? What did Yuuji just say to her?
”Then, please catch my pitch!”
After she took small steps to the pitcher's ets ready to pitch Oh well, better not think too much I just need to do my own job
I' up till now as I let my summoned beast squat at the catcher's position
Alright Right now, there's one person out, one man at first base, and the match continues
”Heh~I don't really understand what stupid plan you're thinking of, but that's not going to work on th to you Summon!”
The opposing 3rd batter--baldy-seets ready to summon
”I, I'll do my bestsummon!”
The pitcher and batter's scores are shown half a second later
Class A, Natsukawa Shunpei, Chemistry, 244 points
Vs
Class F, Himeji Mizuki, Chemistry, 437 points
”Wah! That's woman's score way too much”
On seeing Hi That can't be helped Like what everyone can see, Hist the elites, so even baldy-sempai from A class can't possibly beat her
”da Takashi+ro behind may be a bad decision”
Baldy-sempai looked troubled as he muttered to himself
Takashi+ro? This name seems familiar Where have I heard that name before
”O, okay, please guide h!”
Just when I was thinking, Hi ready to pitch I should be the one who should learn from her--HOLD ON A MINUTE! I DIDN'T REALIZE IT JUST NOW, BUT AM I THE ONE WHO'S SUPPOSED TO CATCH HIMEJI-SAN'S PITCHES!!? I'LL DIE REALLY BADLY IF I FAIL!!
”Let me see First, step on the rubber, and then”
”Ho, hol, hol, hold on a minute Himeji-san!!”
”H, Akihisa-kun?”
I called out to stop Hientle and understanding I guess she would hold back a bit, but since the difference in our scores are so far different fro to happen, so it's better to let her try out
”You see a runner at first base? Throw a pickoff at first base to prevent hi base Would you like to try it?”
The runner at first base didn't run too far away I just want Hiet used to it Anyway, I just want to let Himeji-san throw a ball first
”A pickoff--ah, I got it I just need to throw to first base, right?”
”That's right Can you please throw to fukumura-san at first base?”
”I understand Then--”
Hiets into a pitching position
”Heh!”
”AH?”
Class A, Tsunemura Yuusaku, Chemistry, DEAD
Vs
Class F, Himeji Mizuki, Chemistry, 437 points
Class F, fukumura Kohei, Chemistry, DEAD
Vs
Class F, Himeji Mizuki, Chemistry, 437 points
--There were immediate reports of two deaths
KLANGwith that, the sound of so down continuously can be heard
The summoned beasts of the runner at first base, thatfirst base disappear together into the wind like good friends
””WAAAHHHHHHHHH!!! IT HURRTTSSS!!! MY BODY HUUUUUURRRRRTTTTTSSSS!!!”
After a short while, controllers of the summoned beasts cried out in pain as well
It seeed to catch up to the ball, so both of thee done to the summoned beasts, which caused them to roll on the floor in pain
”Ah! So, sorry! I didn't kno to control the strength on the ball, so”
Hiize to both of theround However, I don't think they would bother hearing her apology now
”Will the bench players please take over the injured players so that we can continue the match?”
The refereeing teacher coldly asked the players to come on The 2 severely injured players who are unable to move due to the pain are carted off The opponent sent out one sempai, while Hideyoshi+, as on the bench, replaced fukuuard 1st base
”UuI failed”
Though she o, Himeji-san seem to be ree her, but if she doesn't control her strength and use all her force, the next ball will strike et hit by that powerful ball, I'll h I'm really sorry to her, I really don't want--
”Don't ot”
”But”
”Don't worry too much That's what a catcher should do”
”But if I do this, Akihisa-kun would”
”Oi oi, why are you saying such a thing? Don't you trust Akihisa at all?”
”Ahno, that's not it! I never doubted Akihisa-kun!”
THAT bastard'S DEFINITELY TRYING TO KILL ME!!!
”Akihisa-kun, here I come!”
NOOOOO!!! HIMEJI-SAN, DON'T THROW THAT BALL AT ME!!!!
”He, heh!”
”Hm? eh? How did it--”
Himeji-san let out a cute sound and a pitch that's not cute at all The pitch that can't be seen with the eyes landed directly on the 3rd year senior who's waiting to bat next
Class A, Kindaichi shi+nnosuke, Chemistry, DEAD
Vs
Class F, Himeji Mizuki, Chemistry, 437 points
The 4th batter of class 3-A didn't even e to show his score as he iain Because of that, he became the 3rd victim
”RE, REF!! THAT WAS A DANGEROUS BALL, WASN'T IT!!? SHE SHOULD BE EJECTED!!”
Standing in the batter's box, the baldy-seued that Himeji-san broke the rules But before the u at 3rd base, says,
”Oi, se? Look at Himeji You know that she didn't do it on purpose!”
”So, sorry! This is my first time as the pitcher That's why I'm so nervous”
Hi over to class 3-A's bench and continued to bow to the so lost about what to do, I don't think anyone would doubt that she didn't do it on purpose
”ST, STOP JOKING AROUND, SAKAMOTO!! SOME THINGS CAN'T BE FORGIVEN EVEN IF IT'S NOT DELIBERATE!!”
”SHUT UP, YOU Scum!! Sensei, think carefully One side is a cute student who's working hard to participate in a class event even though she's not good at it The other side is one whose evil intent is to tarnish the sacred ly sempai As a teacher, which side will you stand on?”
”BEGIN!”
”U, umpire?”
The umpire mercilessly announced the continuation of the match Compared to our dastardly deeds, Himeji-san's actions aren't of ill intent at all In that case, the judgment's correct, but I find that this umpire has a rather distorted view on values
”OI, YOshi+! HURRY UP AND CHASE THAT WOMAN AWAY! YOU'LL DIE IF THIS KEEPS UP!”
”HO, HOW CAN I DO THAT? DON'T LOOK AT HER LIKE THAT, HIMEJI-SAN'S REALLY SOMEONE WITH VERY RADICAL THOUGHTS!!”
I continue to talk to the baldy-sempai in the batter's box If I can do it, I really want Hiet off the field!
”Uuit's really hardmaybe I can pitch better if I use a little more force”
Himeji-san returned to the pitcher'sme to break out cold sweat
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE!! SHE DIDN'T THROW THAT BALL JUST NOW AT FULL STRENGTH!!
The one with the ability to be the valedictorian of our year pitched that without noticing the control It seem that only the bench is a safe zone If that's the case, it juston This isn't a match, it's a one-sided massacre
”Th, this timeI must pitch it at Akihisa-kun!”
””EEIIYYYYYAAAAA!!””
Baldy-selove away as we just cared about using both hands to cover our heads and duck A heavy fastball flew right above our summoned beasts' head
”BALL”
The umpire decided that it was a ball, BUT WHO WOULD CARE ABOUT WHETHER IT'S A STRIKE OR A BALL NOW!!?
”SUB HER OUT, SAKAMOTO! GET THAT PITCHER OFF!!”
”What are you saying, se into the groove?”
”I CAN'T SEE HER AIMING AT THE CATCHER'S GLOVE!!!”
I agree with that
Ignoring the baldy-se, Hi about so
”Uuhly, so I couldn't pitch wellI have to trust Akihisa-kun more”
Thus, she grasps onto the ball in her hand even tightly as she prepares to do so?
”HO, HOLD ON A MINUTE!! DID THAT PITCHER JUST CLOSE HER EYES!!?”
”That's not the case, that's the trust between partners It's because she believes in the guidance of the pitcher that she would close her eyes to pitch”
”HOW IS SHE GOING TO BE GUIDED BY THE CATCHER IF HER EYES ARE CLOSED!!? YOU'RE SPOUTING NONSENSE HERE!!”
”That's it It reat player doesn't need sight, he just needs to detect the presence of the pre--the opponent's location”
” SO WHAT IF SHE FOUND MY LOCATION! THE MAIN POINT'S TO PITCH DIRECTLY INTO THE STRIKEZONE, RIGHT!!? DID YOU JUST NEARLY CALL ME 'PREY'!!?”
”Please don't say soht? Prey-sempai?”
”DID YOU JUST SAY THAT!!? YOU JUST CALLED ME 'PREY-SEMPAI' WITHOUT THINKING, RIGHT!!?”
The ht nohether the prey Yuuji just mentioned involved me or not
”WellHimeji-san! Can you hear me? Actually, you don't have to be so serious”
”Hoohahoohait's alright, I can pitch a strike if I believe firmly in Akihisa-kun”
”Himeji-san?”
It seems that Himeji-san just entered a zen phase as she's unable to receive nals AnywayI have to use my own means to survive if I want to see the sunrise tomorrow
”Can, can't be helped If that's the case, I'll just dodge sidehen Hiood, maybe I can keep my own life!”
”THAT, THAT'S TOO UNDERHANDED, YOshi+!! YOU JUST WANT TO SAVE YOUR OWN LIFE!!?”
”Sorry sempai, I still love my life!”
On a side note, the basic rules of baseball indicates that the batter can't leave the batter box I feel somewhat sorry that the baldy-see Himeji-san's pitches in the narrow area
”I', Akihisa-kun!”
”PLEASE TRY AND OPEN YOUR EYES, HIMEJI-SAN!!”
Facing Hi for her to spare my life But it seems that my wish didn't reach her heart as Himeji-san continued to keep her eyes closed and pitch the ball with all her strength
A heavy fastball
With tremendous power
Aimed at the baldy-sempai's summoned beast's head
”waaa”
Everyone knows of a fruit called po of surows on the tree, and when it ripens without anyone picking it off, it will drop because it overripes Once it drops onto the ground, the crimson red flesh and juice will spill out all over the place
Right now, the ie of the batter that's shown into my ranate drops for some reason
Class A, Natsukawa Shunpei, Chemistry, DEAD
Vs
Class F, Himeji Mizuki, Chemistry, 437 points
”That'soverkillthat woman'sthedevil”
Standing beside the suot battered badly, baldy-sempai suffered lots of pain as he looked like he's about to lose consciousness and collapsed onto the ground Seeing thisI can only feel pity for him
After lunch, I think soht? But the baldy-sehly devastated state as it disappeared into mid-air
”WellAkihisa-kun, was that pitch alright?”
It's only at this moment that Himeji-san finally opened her eyes It's because she kept her eyes closed that she didn't see that burst po to her
”Wellif we considered our initial aim, that ball ell pitched”
But for so me unable to be happy
”Next batter, please step up the plate”
The umpire coldly prompted for the next batter
Looking over at the 3-A bench, everyone there is deliberately looking down, not daring to look at the uht in the face
”HEHE!! THE 3RD YEAR BATTERS ARE SCARED!!”
It's unknohere that mockery came from
HooI think the batter's not the only one who's scared
”SENSEI! WE RAN OUT OF SUBStitUTES!!”
Class 3-A reported that they don't have any substitutes left If that's the case, since there are other events going on, there could only be 2 bench players What should be done? Is he going to get those unregistered to play?
At this moment, I remember a rule included in the summoned beast baseball tournament Yuuji added a rule that 'Each team is to hand in the list of players Those players whose names aren't on the list will be unable to take part in the match' That damned bastard created this plan to fulfill that rule?
”Not enough bench players? Wellwe'll skip past that person's batting order The other players are to do their remedial tests”
The teacher made that cold decision This sounded reasonable, but wouldn't that mean that the other players will have to do the tests just to take Himeji-san's killer pitches?
”Right, so now to the next batter--5th batter, please step up Those players with no points left are to take part in the remedial tests”
”””CLass 3-A DECIDES TO FORFEIT!!!”””
And thus, with two Hit by Pitch at two batters and having caused 4of 200, the pitcher of F class Hiend in the sports meet
