Chapter 23: The Little Story of the Baseball Stadium
Arriving at the outdoor baseball field, Izumi Toru saw Amakusa Narumi waving a bat from a distance.
Standing on the pitcher's mound opposite him was a short but strong-looking boy.
The boy wore a pitching glove with one hand, held the ball with the other hand, bent his body into an arch, and threw the ball hard.
Whoosh!
Amakusa Narumi grinned and waved the bat in his hand.
Bang!
After a loud noise, the ball flew directly to the farthest fence at a faster speed than when it came.
The boy raised his head and watched the ball he threw fly out of the field and disappear into the audience. He suddenly raised his hands happily and cheered.
"Ahhhhh!!! So awesome! So awesome!"
Amakusa Narumi put her hands on her hips proudly and laughed.
Seeing Shiratori Haruhiko having fun, Shiratori Ayori and Shiratori Kyoko didn't rush up to call him.
At this time, Jinguji Kiyohime, Izumi Toru and others immediately stood up and trotted over.
But Mika Igarashi did not follow him immediately. Instead, he looked at Haruhiko Shiratori with his chin down, as if he was thinking about something.
"Izumi-kun, Shiratori-san, you are here."
After just a few steps, Jinguji Kiyohime began to pant.
But there was happiness that could not be concealed on her face.
Izumi Tetsu took a step forward.
"This is Jinguji Kiyohime, the director of my club. This is..."
Before Izumi Toru finished his introduction, Shiratori Ayaori jumped out.
"I am Ayaori Shiratori, the younger sister of Kyoko Shiratori!"
Ayori Shiratori was very happy to be called sister by the very young Jinguji Seihime.
She touched her smooth face and said, "You are beautiful too."
Izumi Toru looked at the two women with a blank expression.
Although one looks very young, she is already the mother of a sixteen-year-old girl, and there is no psychological burden at all... The other one knows the other person's actual age, but still calls the other person sister without hesitation...
After thinking about it, he pulled Kyoko Shiratori aside and nuzzled at the boy who had already picked up the bat.
"That, is your brother?"
Shiratori Kyoko nodded.
"yes."
"How is his academic performance?"
"Huh?" The girl didn't know why he suddenly asked this, so she was a little confused.
"So, how were the results?" Izumi Toru asked again.
Shiratori Kyoko scratched her face, then turned her gaze to the side and hesitated: "That... is probably... pretty, pretty good..."
Seeing her guilty look, Izumi narrowed his eyes.
"fine?"
"Then...just, average?"
"generally?"
Unable to bear his increasingly teasing gaze, Shiratori Kyoko stamped her feet and said self-deprecatingly: "It's very bad, super bad! Let's do this!"
After saying that, she pouted and stared at Izumi Tetsu angrily.
"That's great!" Izumi Toru held her hand.
"Ha?! You, what are you talking about? That's too much!" Kyoko Shiratori, whose hands were caught, kicked Izumi Tetsu's calf angrily.
"I mean, if that's the case, why not let him get into Murasaki through baseball special recruitment like Narumi in the future. Your brother is talented!"
"ha?"
Kyoko Shiratori turned her head and looked at her younger brother who was smiling happily in the field, surrounded by a group of tall members of the baseball club.
"Just him?"
You are so small, apart from being naughty and making trouble, what other talents do you have?
As a result, the look in her eyes at Izumi Toru became suspicious.
Boom!
Izumi Toru hit her forehead hard.
"it hurts!"
"Idiot! Do you think I would joke about this kind of thing?"
Looking at Izumi Toru's serious eyes, Shiratori Kyoko shrank her neck.
Doesn't it look like a joke?
She rubbed her sore forehead and whispered: "Yes, I'm sorry..."
"I'm sorry, why do you need the police?"
The girl shook Izumi Toru's arm.
"Don't be angry."
"Then kiss me."
"Eh?!"
"Why, don't you want to?" Izumi glanced at her, "Not sincere..."
When he saw him like this, Shiratori Kyoko felt an inexplicable aura surge up.
"That's right, that's not true!"
After saying that, she closed her eyes and pouted.
Izumi Toru stretched out his fingers and pressed her soft lips.
The touch felt wrong, and the girl slowly opened her eyes.
Izumi Toru scratched his face and said sheepishly: "I have felt your sincerity. However, it is still too difficult for me in front of your mother. I am a little shy."
Kyoko Shiratori's face turned red again.
"you you you……"
"You owe me first. Next time, I will ask for more."
Saying that, Izumi Toru retracted his fingers and walked towards Shiratori Ayaori and Jinguji Kiyohime.
Shiratori Kyoko was stunned for several seconds.
Want more?
What do you want?
She subconsciously crossed her arms.
And, are you planning to leave traces again?
Bad, bad people...
At this time, Shiratori Haruhiko had already spotted his mother and sister, running towards the sidelines.
Igarashi Mika also came over with Uehara Himetsu in secretary uniform.
…
"Mom! Mom! The baseball club of Murasaki Sakura High School is so awesome! Brother Narumi is so awesome! They are so strong!" Haruhiko Shiratori, who was standing in the field and reluctant to come out, said excitedly to Saiori Shiratori.
Shiratori Ayaori rubbed his head gently.
Before she could say anything, Shiratori Haruhiko said again: "But mom, why are you pretending to be my sister's sister again? You are so old, you should do it!"
Shiratori Ayaori smiled and covered Shiratori Haruhiko's mouth.
"Children are really good at making jokes..." Then, she said with a black face: "I'll kill you."
Shiratori Haruhiko took a breath and didn't dare to speak anymore.
"Go play." She patted her son's head.
"Oh." He responded obediently, and Shiratori Haruhiko ran back.
"Mrs. Shiratori, your son has a strong baseball talent. Are you interested in letting him become a professional baseball player?" Igarashi Mika stepped forward and said.
Shiratori Caori smiled slightly.
"Sorry, I don't have any plans for the moment."
After being rejected, Igarashi Mika's expression did not change, and she just motioned for Uehara Himetsu to hand over her business card.
Then, she said: "If you are interested, please call anytime. His talent is really good."
"I will."
At this time, Uehara Jiyue secretly glanced at Izumi Toru, and after meeting his gaze, her body suddenly trembled.
Izumi Toru thought she was shy, but after taking a closer look, he realized she was not.
He saw that Jiyue Uehara's small mouth, which was not covered by her long hair, was slightly open, and her breathing seemed a little rapid.
Moreover, after meeting her own gaze, she looked down, and then licked her lips, as if she was reminiscing about something.
What else could she have tasted that was related to herself?
Izumi Tetsu suddenly remembered the tenderness of a girl on a rainy night.
