Shiratori Ayaori saw Izumi Tooru approaching and quickly called him over.
However, when Izumi Toru saw the young mother's movements, the corners of his mouth twitched.
The woman was waving with one hand and patting her thigh that was covered by the sailor skirt with the other hand...
Seeing that Izumi Tetsu hadn't acted for a long time, Shiratori Ayaori tilted his head and asked, "What's wrong?"
What happened? What did you say?
Can you please pay attention to your identity?
Izumi Toru complained crazily in his heart.
But on the surface, he nodded calmly.
"Understood."
This time, Shiratori Ayaori was a little surprised.
Does he really dare?
Then, she saw Izumi Toru walking up to her side, picking up Amakusa Mei and placing her on the seat that was originally in the middle, and then sat down on Amakusa Mei's seat.
During this period, Amakusa Meiyi has been in a sluggish state.
Her brain is currently unable to process such complex information.
Looking at Izumi Tetsu with a girl in the middle, Shiratori Ayori curled her lips.
I thought it was so bold...
That's it?
Izumi Toru noticed the woman's expression.
He wiped cold sweat from his heart.
If Kyoko Shiratori saw it, she would be angry again.
What is going on with these mother and daughter?
However, sitting in the auditorium, the enthusiasm of the audience behind him seemed to ignite the air, and Izumi Toru was already feeling a little hot.
He wiped the sweat from his face and watched Narumi Amakusa walk onto the pitcher's mound.
In the first half of the first game, Murasaki Gakuen defended and Osaka Kintong attacked.
On the field, Amakusa Narumi moved his shoulders and raised his arms behind him.
next moment.
There seemed to be thunder.
Snapped!
The opponent's bat was only halfway swung before the ball fell into Manano's catcher's glove.
Ball speed captured by radar: 161km/h!
But Narumi Amakusa shook his head, as if he was dissatisfied with the speed of the ball just now.
Izumi Toru felt a little dazed.
The voices of the audience, the voices of the commentators, everything came like a cloud.
He looked at his friend standing on the field and seemed to feel the power that was about to burst out like a volcano in his body.
This is the friend he is proud of.
"Drink some ice Coke."
Beside him, someone handed him a cold drink.
Izumi Toru stared at the venue intently, took it and took two sips.
The excitement and sweetness of the cola bloomed in his mouth. Before he could swallow it, he heard the words of the woman next to him again.
"I've had this cup before."
Drink?
So what?
Didn't we often drink each other before...
etc!
This sound doesn’t sound like Mei!
Izumi Toru slowly turned his head, and Ayori Shiratori, who had changed seats with Amakusa Mei at some point, stuck out his tongue at him.
"puff--"
The coke in his mouth almost sprayed into the face of the young mother in front of him. Fortunately, Izumi Toru closed his mouth at the last moment.
A little happiness slowly flowed down the corners of his mouth.
Seeing Izumi Teru's helpless and aggrieved look, Shiratori Ayaori covered her mouth and giggled.
Then, she took out a handkerchief and began to wipe the corners of his mouth. While wiping, she said, "Oh! Why do you look like a child? It's really worrying."
Gudong!
After swallowing the coke with difficulty, he muttered: "Yes, I'm really sorry for causing you trouble."
At this time, Shiratori Caori suddenly pinched his face hard, which surprised him.
What is this for?
"Izumi-san! Why didn't my Kyoko come? Can you tell me the reason?"
Izumi Tetsu's face froze.
If Shiratiao couldn't sleep because she was overdoing it, what would her mother think of me?
Last night, Izumi Toru guessed that Shiratori Kyoko was not asleep.
After all, the sound of being pushed to the ground and spanked a few times by Asazuki Bene after forcefully kissing her was quite loud...
"Tell me." Shiratori Ayaori asked [viciously].
It's obviously pretending to be evil, but it gives people a cute feeling.
Feeling guilty, Izumi Toru looked away.
"That, that... because, because, I went shopping last night... I slept very late... I'm still sleeping now."
"Where are the details!" Shiratori Ayaori asked relentlessly.
Suddenly, a deafening cry came from the field.
Subconsciously, Izumi Toru and Shiratori Kyoko looked into the field.
Osaka Kantiri's third batter, Makoto Ikegami, stared intently at Amakusa Narumi, who had a ball in his pitching glove.
At this time, the excited voice of the commentator came from the loudspeaker equipment.
Despite the noisy environment, Izumi Tetsu still heard two words, and his heart began to beat wildly after a while.
【162km/h】【put—put】
(Put-out: catch. If the batter hits the pitcher's ball and is caught by the defensive team before it hits the ground, it is a catch and the batter is out.)
The people at the bullpen of Purple Sakura Academy stood up excitedly.
Amakusa Narumi raised the ball in his hand towards Izumi Toru and raised his eyebrows proudly, but this made Izumi Tetsu frown.
Although he understood that Amakusa Narumi was excited because he had defeated his old rival in the first half, others saw this move as a bit arrogant and provocative...
It is very common in these clubs where people with hot tempers and looks gather to have the bench cleared and fight because of a provocative move.
Fortunately, the people at Osaka Kintong did not react much, which made Izumi Toru breath a sigh of relief.
And the coach didn't say anything, so it should be fine.
Bar……
Looking at the cracked smile on Ikegami Makoto's lips, whose eyes were narrowed into slits, Izumi Tetsu was slightly worried.
In the second half of the first inning, talented pitcher Makoto Ikegami stepped onto the mound and was extremely good at changing pitches.
The showdown between Narumi Amakusa and Makoto Ikegami, who are far more talented than their peers, is also the biggest highlight of the Koshien finals.
Eight pitches, two bad and six good, a fastball mixed with a changeup, and two consecutive strikeouts knocked out two batters from Murasaki Sakura Academy. Makoto Ikegami faced Narumi Amakusa at the third bat and tightened his grip on the ball.
The next moment, he threw the ball out of his hand hard.
Whoosh!
Everyone in the auditorium and bullpen stood up.
The speed captured by the radar was 158km/h. In the past, this ball speed would have been enough to excite all spectators.
But now that Amakusa Narumi has appeared, this achievement is no longer enough to cause such a big sensation.
What really made the audience feel this way was: Amakusa Narumi covered her right arm with a painful expression and fell to the ground.
All the players from both sides gathered around, and there was a strong smell of gunpowder.
Amakusa Meiyi stood up and prepared to climb over the fence and beat the guy who dared to hurt her brother into a pig's head.
She doesn't care about any competitions or Koshien.
"Mei Yi, come back!"
After hearing Izumi Toru's words, Amakusa Mei turned her head with an angry look on her face.
"Why?! That guy obviously did it on purpose!"
"If you don't plan to let Narumi play baseball in the future, just go ahead. The Igarashi family will help deal with Tewei. Don't worry about the impact. It doesn't matter if you kill him. Trust me."
Looking at Izumi Tetsu's frighteningly calm expression, Amakusa Mei hesitated for a while.
Finally, she stamped her feet vigorously and sat back.
"snort!"
Only then did Izumi Toru stand up.
"I'm going to confirm something."
Shiratori Caori suddenly took his hand.
"Izumi-san."
"What's up?"
"You won't do stupid things, right?"
Seeing the worry on the woman's face, Izumi Toru smiled.
"Don't worry, I never do stupid things."
…
Izumi Toru found Igarashi Mika and Jinguji Kiyohime, and they had placed a video in front of him.
[That guy just now was too arrogant!]
【Let me teach him a lesson!】
[Have you forgotten our dream? What if we lose the game due to a flagrant foul? More than a year of hard work cannot be in vain! In our home court, we cannot lose!]
In the video, Ikegami Makoto's upright and awe-inspiring look made Izumi Teru feel weird.
Not intentional?
Just an accident?
At this time, Igarashi Mika spoke.
"From the video, not only was there no evidence of a flagrant foul committed by Makoto Ikegami, but the referee's result just came out. Makoto Ikegami's pitch was from the edge of the strike zone, and it was counted as a strike, not a touch ball."
Izumi Tetsu nodded.
"Well, I'm going back to watch Narumi compete."
Before he could go out, Mika Igarashi called out to him.
"Izumi Tetsu."
"What's up?"
"If you lose this game because of this [accident], is there anything you want to do?"
Izumi Toru turned his head and said seriously to her:
