Tetsu Nishino's hitting talent really surprised his teammates.

Physical fitness, athletic ability, dynamic vision.

Tetsu Nishino possesses all the basic requirements for a slugger, and he is also very good. No wonder Tetsu Nishino has caught up so quickly with veterans like them who have been playing baseball for many years.

After eating the rice balls and resting for a while, today's training is over.

The night air in Hakusan Town is extremely fresh, looking up.

The band-shaped Milky Way spans the entire dark night sky, and thousands of stars are scattered like gems on the dark curtain.

"Azhe, I'm leaving first. I won't wait for you anymore."

After saying that, Nishino Kazuya ran home.

Now he has very little time to play games every day. He must cherish every minute and every second of his life and not waste too much time on the way home.

Nishino Tetsu didn't want to accompany him on his crazy run, so he walked home slowly.

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

In the next few days, the team's training focus will be on hitting training, and the ball machine will be used for practice every time.

They arranged the hitting equipment. There were three blocking nets around the batter's side to prevent the ball coming at high speed from hitting everywhere. A blocking net was also placed near the ball server to protect the person releasing the ball.

"ready or Not?"

"bring it on!"

Turn on the ball machine, and with a "bang" sound, the baseball pops out.

call out

"Qiang"

The batter knocks the ball away.

The pitching machine can not only throw straight balls from different positions, but can also barely throw sliders with lateral movement.

The players took turns hitting, and with the constant sound of hitting, baseballs were scattered all over the field.

Everyone is practicing hard.

But the good times didn't last long. Halfway through the training, the old ball server finally couldn't hold on anymore and stopped.

Totosi stepped forward to check and found that the machine was completely broken. After all, the amount of training has increased so much that it is impossible to use a ball server.

The second-hand goods that have been used for several years have been retired.

"Keep practicing."

Higashi Takuji ordered, signaling the players to lift the machine down and rearrange the hitting field.

That's right, the ball machine used for training broke down, so the players acted as human feeders and continued to practice hitting.

All the pitchers have to feed the ball, there is no other way around it.

The sound of "clang" and "ta" sounded on the court again, so clear that it seemed to reach the distant green mountains.

On the pitcher's mound, Kazuya Nishino hit a straight ball.

Tetsu Nishino stared closely at the incoming ball, landed on his front foot, and swung the bat quickly with both hands.

Stand firm on the front foot, rotate the hips, and transfer the power to the hitting point through the shift of the center of gravity.

The moment he hit the ball, he aimed at the inside of the ball.

"Qiang"

The ball flew high across the entire outfield and hit the net.

Nishino Kazuya gritted his teeth and shouted: "Okay, okay, Azhe, you're okay."

He was also feeling bitter, just feed the ball. Why are there restrictions on ball types and ball paths? The human ball server is too miserable.

Because Tetsu Nishino takes every ball seriously, Kazuya Nishino who feeds him the ball is miserable. It becomes a training for Kazuya Nishino's mental endurance.

"Okay, I'll go take a rest and you continue."

Nishino Kazuya nodded quickly, go ahead, have a good rest, and don't come up.

Of course, Higashi Takuji will not really use up the pitchers. He arranges a suitable number of pitches for all pitchers. It is probably enough for each pitcher to throw a few dozen pitches.

After the pitcher has finished feeding the ball, it is the fielder's turn to feed the ball. During the game, the fielders also pass a lot, so it is beneficial to practice more ball control.

As for the catcher, he can also go up and feed dozens of balls. In fact, the catcher passes the ball a lot on the field, especially the ball that goes to the pitcher's mound.

This is equivalent to saying that as many balls as the pitcher throws, the catcher has to pass as many balls to him.

In the pergola.

Tetsu Nishino sat on the bench and rested.

"Zhe-chan, can we talk for a while?"

Kato Monami walked into the pergola and sat next to him and asked.

The first person in the club to call him this was Kato Monagami. The cheerful senior sister quickly became familiar with them in the first grade and gave them the unisex nickname.

"Senior Monami, what's the matter?"

Nishino Tetsu was puzzled and couldn't think of anything that needed his help.

Glancing outside, Kato Monami whispered: "It's like this, hasn't the department started night training a long time ago? It's quite late for you day students to go home."

"It's quite late."

Tetsu Nishino replied that although there are street lights on the road, it still doesn't feel good to walk alone on the street at night.

"Look, I told you, I told Aoi-chan not to come tonight, but she just refused and insisted on coming."

Kato Monami complained: "Oh, a girl goes home alone, which makes me worried to death."

In fact, Tetsu Nishino really wanted to say that the security situation in Hakusan Town is not that bad, and Aoi-senpai herself is not worried.

Besides, Aoi-senpai is already in the third grade, so why is it that Monami-senpai seems to be taking care of a child?

Looking at the boy in front of her, Kato Monami thought to herself: Tetsu-chan must be reliable.

"So," Kato Monami said, "Tetsu-chan, can you send Aoi-chan to me tonight?"

"ha?"

Nishino Tetsu was stunned.

Although Hakusan Town is not a big place, it is not impossible for him to give it away, but it feels very abrupt to him and his brain is a bit short-circuited.

"Then you agreed?"

"Well, okay..."

Nishino Tetsu originally wanted to say something, but thinking it was just a trivial matter, he nodded and agreed.

"That's great," Kato Monami said happily, "and remember not to say that I asked you to go, otherwise Aoi-chan will say I'm nosy again."

"What's wrong with me? You think so?"

"..."

Nishino Tetsu could only nod in agreement.

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

In the evening, when the team finished training.

Nishino Tetsu looked at Moriyama Aoi who was about to leave, he hesitated to speak, and felt very entangled in his heart.

Only now did he realize that Sister Moanamei's request was a bit deceptive. What reason could he have for sending Sister Aoi home?

Moreover, he has never sent his senior sister home, which is really a bit confusing.

Seeing his senior sister walking further and further away, Tetsu Nishino quickly followed her.

On the street, through the light, Moriyama Aoi also saw Nishino Tetsu.

"Zhejun?"

"Ah... Aoi-senpai..."

"Why are you walking this way? Isn't your home on another road?"

The eyes under the bangs were full of doubts, and Moriyama Aoi had a strange and surprised look on her face.

There was no other way, Tetsu Nishino could only tell the truth.

…

"What, Monami-chan, how could you tell a junior like this..."

After Moriyama Aoi knew what happened, she suddenly became ashamed and turned around and walked home.

"Eh?"

Nishino Tetsu was stunned.

What does this mean? Does he still want to follow?

After quickly following her, Tetsu Nishino chose to accompany her back.

Ta...ta...

On the quiet street, the footsteps of two people echoed at random.
Chapter completed!
