I am practicing in Tokyo

Chapter 78

Facing the second pitch from the starting pitcher of Tomishima High School, Toru Harada adjusted his mood and stared at the opponent with all his attention.

This guy Fujii wants to be a hero for one person, but baseball is also a sport for a group of people!

Harada Toru, who is always careless, has a delicate heart, and was taken to the Koshien arena by Fujii Shu alone, saying that he was not touched, which is completely a lie.

The starting pitcher on the opposite side threw a crooked ball, and Toru Harada swung the bat without thinking. The baseball was hit and flew high.

Throwing down the bat decisively, Toru Harada went to first base, and Ada Yoon, who was originally on first base, rushed to second base. The outfielder from Fushima High School picked up the ball, but found that there was no tag (when the defense had the ball in hand) , can be eliminated by touching the offensive batter).

"Now there are members of the Hachioji High School team on the first base and second base. The first inning is over. For Tomishima High School, the situation is not very optimistic."

The TV commentary analyzed the situation on the court. Hachioji High School's fourth batter played in the second round.

Unlike other teams, the fourth bat of Hachioji High School is not considered a strong bat. With an ace pitcher like Fujii, they need to establish an advantage earlier.

But things often backfired. It wasn't until the fifth round that Adahyun, who was on the second base early, ran to the home plate and scored a point. If it wasn't for Fujii's steady performance and continued to block the opposing batter, it would have been impossible for Hachioji High School to win in the end. Contest.

"Hachioji High School won the game by a small score of 5 to 0, and the head pitcher Fujii took 97 pitches by himself. It is simply too exaggerated."

In the TV commentary, Fujii left the court rubbing his shoulders. No matter how strong his physical fitness is, he still has a physical body. After nearly [-] high-speed straight balls, it is impossible to say that he is not tired.

The organizer of the competition in Koshien uniformly planned a three-star hotel for the participating high school students to live in. The rich high schools will naturally go out to live in higher-end hotels. Hachioji High School originally had this kind of treatment. Mizutani The coach sternly refused.

"What's wrong with a man who lives so close to him? Don't you have any roots at all?"

At that time, Coach Mizutani rejected the school's good intentions in such a righteous way.

"Fujii-san, please take care of dinner."

In the hotel, Toru Harada and Shuji Kobayashi brought the ingredients of oden from outside. During the previous relationship, Fujii showed them the shock of LV3 cooking skills in a small way.

The hotel itself does not have ingredients for cooking Oden, but the students couldn’t hold back Lu Ziye, so he bought a full set of camping kitchen utensils from the second-hand market in Nishinomiya City, the kind with a portable natural gas tank.

"Tattoo!"

Fujii cut the radish into slices and put them in the pot to cook. The soup was too late to prepare. He used the base of udon noodles and sweet miso ingredients. Islanders love sweets very much, no matter how sweet it is. You can eat anything you want.

Afterwards, the semi-finished oden ingredients brought by Harada Toru and the others were simply processed, and they were put into the pot one by one, and the umami taste soon permeated and penetrated into the corridor.

"Well, can you take us with you?"

The neighbor next door couldn't help knocking on the door. Fujii opened the door, and standing outside were members of the baseball team from Jinzunong High School next door. There were five or six of them, and they were only four or five.

"It's not free, we can provide ingredients."

"I'm sorry, the smell is too fragrant, I can't bear it at night."

With a little apology, they offered dried mushrooms and vacuum oyster mushroom packaging bags, and the students of Jinzunong got into the room in a hurry.

A countryman from Akita Prefecture, cut.

Kobayashi Shuji disliked this kind of behavior very much. Jinzunong's baseball team is the country team with the least funds in Koshien. Akita County is a large agricultural county in the island country. In recent years, due to economic reasons, the county has not been very easy to live in. Like their Hachioji High School, if it weren't for the wonderful coach Mizutani, they would have been arranged in a five-star hotel long ago, and they wouldn't live in the hotel provided by the organizer for free.

"Today's opening ceremony, we all watched your Hachioji's match from the stands. Fujii-san is really strong! One person can do this."

Masato Komatsu, the catcher and captain of the golden foot farmer, looked at Fujii with envy, took the oden from Fujii, nodded and said thank you.

"The fastest pitch is 160km per hour, right? Not many Japanese professional baseball players can hit this kind of ball."

Their starting pitcher, Sasaki Daimu, also got a bowl full of oden, and started without any scruples.

"Is this what you should say? You are also a pitcher, throw some good balls with a speed of 160km for me, idiot!"

Xiao Songya got angry when she heard this. They are also pitchers, and their own is really incomparable, and they can't shoot.

"Didn't you miss a lot of catches? Look at the catcher, they haven't dropped a single ball today."

Sasaki Daimon replied unconvinced, but it was more like a daily squabble between them. Kobayashi Shuuji felt much better when he heard this, and the eyes he looked at Sasaki Daimeng also became more pleasing to the eye.

You guys are quite discerning, and you can discover the merits of this uncle.

He was a little smug.

"Just today, he used to miss it often, but once he missed it, he would be fined to run a kilometer."

Fujii mercilessly exposed Shuji Kobayashi's shortcomings. Most of his shots were straight balls. Although he was fast and powerful, it was not difficult to catch the ball.

Is it really okay to reveal information like this in front of outsiders?
Kobayashi Shuji gave Fujii a strange look, and their conversation began to deepen.

"It is also the first time for us to participate in Jiaziyuan. If we can win the top eight, life will be satisfied."

As the captain, Komatsu Masato is surprisingly not too ambitious. Fujii is here to win the championship, but they are here to see the legendary Koshien.

"Akita doesn't have many other things. The summer watermelon is enough. I heard from the adults that the people from the agricultural cooperative did not let us sell more. We digested a lot of watermelons internally. We went to the countryside to talk to the owner in advance, or we kept them. You can eat all you want for a few hundred yen.”

"There are swarms of fireflies at night! We often collect them in plastic bottles and put them in mosquito nets for decoration."

"Really? Watermelon is enough? Use this kind of good thing?"

Shuji Kobayashi, who resisted the countrymen at the beginning, is now more active than anyone else. Watermelons in Tokyo are not as exaggerated as the prices uploaded on the Internet, but the reputation of expensive fruits is still undefeated. The agricultural products of the island country are actually enough, but The Agricultural Cooperative controls prices and deliberately raises the price of watermelon and other fruits. If you want to eat cheap fruits, you can only choose bananas imported from Southeast Asia. This is one of the few consciences of the Agricultural Cooperative.

Hehe, watermelon costs [-] cents a catty, haven't you seen it?

Fujii tree twitched the corners of his mouth, they were all ignorant guys, in his previous life, he would vomit from eating watermelon in summer.
