early morning.

"Ah...it hurts..."

Because the biological clock woke up, Nishino Tetsu felt uncomfortable in his ears, as if something was blocked. He reached over with his hand and found that he had been sleeping with headphones on.

After getting up and taking off his headphones, Tetsu Nishino picked up his phone and found that it had long been out of battery.

"Not good! You might be late for school!"

Nishino Tetsu suddenly remembered that today was not a day off.

Nishino Tetsu didn't hear the sound of the alarm clock on his cell phone. He thought he had overslept, so he quickly got out of bed to wash up. When he looked up, he realized that it was still early. It was just his body's biological clock that made him wake up before the ring time set by his cell phone.

coming.

Tetsu Nishino breathed a sigh of relief, took his phone to the desk and connected it to the charging cable.

He had been watching the Koshien baseball game video last night, and what he happened to see was a relatively close game that lasted for more than two hours. Although Nishino Tetsu usually didn't use his mobile phone in bed, he

I guessed there wasn't much left in the game, so I put on headphones and watched it in bed.

Not to mention, it’s really comfortable to watch while lying on the bed.

After watching the game, Tetsu Nishino clicked on the video of the next game. He was a little interested in how far the winning team could go. He accidentally watched it for too long and slowly fell asleep.

And because he set it to playback mode one by one, the phone stayed on until the battery was exhausted.

"I won't bring my cell phone with me..."

After washing up and changing clothes, Tetsu Nishino thought while looking at his cell phone that was still charging.

He doesn't play with his cell phone very much in school. During training, he is fully immersed in it and rarely touches his cell phone. He often doesn't even bring his cell phone with him.

So Tetsu Nishino went straight downstairs and prepared to go out.

White Mountain High School.

The morning passed quickly.

The afternoon is activity time for various community departments.

The members of the baseball club also gathered on the baseball field for training.

Mie Prefecture, where Hakusan Town is located, faces the Pacific Ocean, and the gentle sea breeze often blows through the county. So today, Hakusan Town, as usual, is a sunny day.

There was no cloud in the sky, and the huge sun hung in the sky, scorching the players who had nowhere to hide. Inside the stadium, there was a noisy training scene under the dazzling sunshine.

The Baishan High School baseball field under the blue sky is a rare and lively place in the small town.

In the pergola.

Tetsu Nishino sat on a bench to rest. He also knew that going too far would not be enough. The body needs a balance between work and rest, and blindly training hard would be counterproductive.

Next to him is Nishino Kazuya, drinking from a glass of water.

"Hey, Zhe, have you joined the group?" Nishino Kazuya suddenly remembered what Moriyama Aoi asked him for last night.

"What group?" Tetsu Nishino asked with a question mark on his face.

"Oh, it's the link I sent you last night. It's the line group, our baseball club's news notification group. Everyone has joined it."

"Is that a link? I didn't click on it, and I didn't bring my phone with me today."

Tetsu Nishino suddenly realized that it turned out to be a link to join a group. He thought it was a link to a drama. In this case, it was indeed his problem and he didn't look carefully.

"Forget it, I'll drag you in now. It won't be okay if you don't do what Aoi-senpai ordered."

As he said this, Kazuya Nishino wanted to take out his cell phone.

"etc......"

Nishino Tetsu stopped Nishino Kazuya, and he suddenly wanted to ask what was going on.

"It's a line group that our baseball club uses to communicate with each other. It's newly created. Yesterday, Aoi-senpai asked us for accounts one by one. I don't know why I missed Azhe. Last night, I asked me to add you to the group. Wait a minute.

I can just pull it."

"Don't say goodbye yet..."

"Why, it will be done soon."

"I'll just go talk to Aoi-senpai, so I don't have to bother you Kazuya every time."

"That's right, Azhe, do you know that I was driving the dungeon yesterday, and a sudden message surprised me..."

"Yeah, I understand, I understand..."

While casually responding to Nishino Kazuya's words, Nishino Tetsu suddenly felt annoyed in his heart for some reason.

Why didn't he come to him alone? Nishino Tetsu racked his brains and couldn't figure out the reason, so that he was always blocked by that boredom during training and couldn't help but increase the power of hitting the ball.

Could it be...

Aoi-senpai, you hate me?

Nishino Tetsu could only guess sadly.

In the pergola, Moriwasabi and Kato Monami sat down to rest together after finishing their chores.

"Eh? Why hasn't Tetsu-kun joined the group yet? Has Kazuya-kun forgotten?"

Looking at the group members, Moriyama Aoi murmured in a low voice.

"Aoi-chan, what's wrong?" Kato Monami asked with concern. She found that Moriyama Aoi seemed to be worried.

Moriyama Aoi shook her head slightly and said, "It's nothing, Monami-chan, don't worry about me."

It seems that I should take the initiative to find Tetsu-kun. Moriyama Aoi lowered her head and thought.

............

After training.

"Tetsu-kun, come and lift the ball machine with me." Hiroki said to Nishino Tetsu next to him. Nishino Tetsu nodded, indicating that it was okay, and walked over to put away the ball machine together.

Soon the stadium was almost tidied up.

After Moriyama Aoi and Kato Monami checked out the training equipment together, it was already late and everyone went back one after another, so the stadium was almost empty.

In front of the sink.

"call"

After washing her hands and thinking about what happened during the training break in the afternoon, Moriyama Aoi was really shocked.

Tetsu Nishino actually came directly to her and asked seriously: "Senior Aoi, I have something to ask. Can you please wait a moment after the training is over?"

"Eh?"

Looking at the puzzled Kato Monami next to her, Moriyama Aoi didn't know how to explain, so she could only quickly agree to Nishino Tetsu and ask him to wait at the school gate.

Under the sunset.

The light of the setting sun shines on the rows of houses in the town, inlaying each house with golden frames, so that the boys and girls returning home are bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun.

A slender figure was waiting.

Walking over and apologetically, Moriyama Aoi said: "I'm sorry, Tetsu-kun, for keeping you waiting... Actually, I also have something to ask Tetsu-kun."

"Is it about collecting first-year contact information?"

"Eh? So Tetsu-kun, you know?" Aoi Moriyama said in surprise.

"Well, Kazuya sent me a link last night. Sorry, I didn't read the message carefully, so I forgot."

Saying that, Tetsu Nishino took out a piece of paper, handed it to Moriyama Aoi, and said, "Actually, senior can come to me directly..."

Reaching out to take the note, Moriyama Aoi saw what was written on it.

Tetsu Nishino, id: testu_nishino

"Thank you, it's been a big help, Zhejun."

Moriyama Aoi breathed a sigh of relief. Although the process was a bit tortuous, it was finally completed.

Holding the note in front of her chest with both hands, Moriyama Aoi said with a smile. The soft and gentle wind gently raised her hair, which could not cover the girl's face as full of agility as white jade, and the sincere smile at the corners of her eyes.

Inner joy.

Nishino Tetsu hesitated for a moment and stopped talking.

In the end, he couldn't help but express the questions in his heart.

"Senior Aoi, do you hate me?"

Sudden words.

This surprised Moriyama Aoi in front of her. Her small lips gently pressed against her hand. Her clear eyes under her long eyelashes were wide open. She looked at the frowning boy in front of her and blurted out.
