afternoon.

The sun at 2 o'clock is hanging high in the blue sky, emitting the heat that this season deserves.

Baishan High School teaching building.

"Ding, ding, ding," the bells in the campus rang at the right time, indicating that the regular rhythm of life was in time.

The students of Baishan High School packed their things and gathered together in twos and threes to prepare to participate in their respective club activities.

Kato Monami found Aoi Moriyama who was waiting in the crowd, "Aoi-chan, let's go to the baseball field."

"Yes." Moriyama Aoi had already packed her things and nodded lightly.

...

White Mountain High School Baseball Field.

Moriyama Aoi and Kato Monami first came over to check the quantity and usage of some training equipment. If there was any aging or damage, they had to report it in time.

Then they went to prepare some drinking water and condolences, and the two of them worked together to move these things to the pergola for easy access by the members.

When they were almost ready, the team members came to the baseball field one after another and started practicing. They also finished their work for a period of time and sat down to watch this group of male high school students playing their best on the field.

Sweat. Ordinary and regular youth is the most tiring, but also the most immersive.

...

Just as the two managers, Moriyama Aoi and Kato Monami, were sitting in the pavilion, watching the players on the field taking turns to perform hitting training, each one was training until they were sweating profusely.

Hiroki, who had completed several rounds of hitting training, walked into the arbor, took out the towel he put in his backpack, wiped the sweat off his face, and begged them: "Kato-san, Moriyama-san, I have something to ask of you."

you."

"If you have anything to do, minister, just tell me! As long as we can help." Kato Monami immediately agreed. She is also willing to contribute her own strength to the team.

"Yeah." Moriyama Aoi also nodded.

Hiroki then said: "It's like this. After the batting training is over, a group of fielders will stay in the field for fielding training, while our catchers and pitchers will conduct pitching training in the bullpen."

"When we were doing pitching training a few days ago, we forgot to record the number and type of balls. It was inconvenient to adjust the training. So I want you two to help record it."

"Kato-san will record my side, and Moriyama-san will record Tetsu-kun's side. Is that okay?"

"No problem!" Kato Monami responded.

"Eh?!"

Do you want me to go to that junior's side?!

"Um..." Moriyama Aoi wanted to change it, but after thinking about it, she decided not to do it.

Don't cause trouble to the minister.

You can do it yourself.

"Okay..." Moriyama Aoi agreed.

"Okay, after the hitting training is over, we will go to the bullpen. You can rest here first." After Hiroki said that, he returned to the field to continue supervising the training.

After Hiroki left, Moriyama Aoi took out the little stuffed animal that was in her jacket pocket and squeezed it gently with both hands.

what to do?

Ball sauce, what should I do?

How to deal with this situation.

In fact, when Tetsu Nishino and the others joined the club on their first day, Aoi Moriyama was a little concerned about him and thought he was a strange junior.

From that day on, Aoi Moriyama noticed that Tetsu Nishino often looked towards her, and sometimes looked at her secretly, especially at her eyes, as if there was something in her eyes.

At first, Moriwasabi was embarrassed and annoyed, thinking that there was a little pervert in the baseball club.

But slowly she found that Nishino Tetsu's eyes gave her a feeling that Nishino Tetsu recognized her, as if he was saying to her:

I know your love for baseball!

Uh-huh! Moriyama Aoi quickly shook her head, trying to throw this shameful thought out of her mind.

What makes Moriyama Aoi most ashamed is that she and Nishino Tetsu often make eye contact, and then gesture to each other tacitly, as if this has become their special way of greeting.

This delicate atmosphere makes Moriyama Aoi a little overwhelmed. She is not good at dealing with such interpersonal relationships. She was not good at it before and she is not good at it now.

What should I do, Qiu Jiang?

Hmm...it's so difficult.

Don't think too much, it's just normal training.

Moriwasabi was worried in her heart while squeezing the little stuffed doll.

The training is going on bit by bit.

"Aoi-chan, Buchou and the others are going to the bullpen for pitching training, let's go there too." Kato Monami said, having already helped Moriyama Aoi get the record sheet and pen.

"Um...Okay." Moriyama Aoi responded.

Entering the bullpen, Tetsu Nishino stood up and said to them: "Senior sisters, I'm begging you."

...

"call out!"

"Crack!"

"call out!"

"Crack!"

Hiroki and Nishino Tetsu squatted behind their respective home plates, taking turns to catch the ball for the team's pitcher. The bullpen was filled with crisp sounds of baseballs hitting the catcher's mitt.

Gradually, Mori Wasabi's nervousness subsided.

Looking at Nishino Tetsu's profile, Moriyama Aoi kept recording data with a sense of security.

The situation is not as bad as I imagined.

Moriyama Aoi thought secretly in her heart.

Time passes slowly.

"Crack!"

The baseball hit Tetsu Nishino's catcher's mitt and bounced to the ground.

"Hey, Kazuya, am I not suited to the ball in this position?" Tetsu Nishino asked.

"Eh? I voted according to your code?" Nishino Kazuya said in surprise.

"I'm going with a low straight ball from the outside corner."

"Isn't it a slider low in the outside corner?"

"I just agreed with you that different numbers 3 can be placed with different fingers to represent different ball types. Didn't you hear clearly?" Tetsu Nishino repeated the explanation helplessly.

"Oh, so that's what happened. I didn't listen and thought it was the same as before." Nishino Kazuya said with a look of realization on his face.

"Why do you sound like I didn't make it clear..."

"Haha..." Moriyama Aoi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, with a chuckle like a silver bell.

Seeing the two of them bickering with each other, Moriyama Aoi couldn't help but laugh softly.

They have such a good relationship, these two are arrested.

Moriyama Aoi was happy for them in her heart.

...

evening.

After the club activities are over.

Moriyama Aoi-senpai's house.

"I'm back," Moriyama Aoi said as soon as she entered the house.

"Welcome back!" A girl sitting on the sofa playing with her mobile phone responded to Moriyama Aoi with a smile.

"Welcome back." Moriyama Aoi's father, who was watching TV next to him, also said.

Seeing the girl, Moriyama Aoi looked surprised and rushed towards her, "Sister, you're back!"

Sister Moriyama Aoi quickly pushed her away, "Well, it's true, I'm covered in sweat. Go take a shower. Let's go out to eat as a family tonight."

"Eh? Really? That's great."

Aoi Moriyama was also very happy. After her sister went to Tokyo to attend university, it was a rare occasion for her to come back. It was good to have a family reunion.

I'm hungry. Moriyama Aoi thought to herself.

"Hey, I'll go right away and take a shower..." Moriyama Aoi happily went upstairs to get her clothes and take a shower.

Moriyama Aoi's mother, who was cleaning in the kitchen, stuck her head out and shouted to Moriyama Aoi's father, who was watching TV.

"The child's father, please turn off the TV quickly and get ready!"

"Ah, look at it for a while, don't be in a hurry."

"..."

"Hey! Close it now!"

Moriyama Aoi's father quickly picked up the remote control and turned off the TV.

...

At night, on the streets of Hakusan Town.

Under the bright lights, the entire food street is full of people.

“This is the one!”
