Chapter 28: The Challenger

The sun in summer is always annoying.

Xiaolin lay lazily on the sofa, unwilling to move.

"squeak~"

The sliding door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man with a beard came out of the bedroom inside.

"Da Lin, are you going out again today?"

Xiaolin asked curiously.

Dalin is a standard otaku just like himself. In terms of otaku attributes, he is even much stronger than himself. Kobayashi's highest record was not going downstairs for three days and staying at home. And Dalin used to stay indoors for two consecutive months without leaving home.

Now, for two days in a row, he ran out.

so weird~

"yes!"

There was a nostalgic smile on Dalin's unshaven face. Thinking of the team he watched yesterday, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

That team is so interesting.

Although they were bound to lose when they met Nagano Metropolis, Obayashi still wanted to cheer them on.

He likes Akagi, and he likes to see how they are young and hard-working. Everyone is like a child who has just learned to play baseball, ignoring the outcome and enjoying the game to the fullest.

Even if the players make mistakes, they can tolerate each other.

very nice!

This reminds Dalin of his boyhood. At that time, their team was also very weak, and everyone tolerated each other like this...

"What are you going to do?"

Xiaolin asked in confusion. The expression on Dalin's face was so strange, it was like secretly dating a girlfriend.

The fire of gossip in Kobayashi's heart was ignited, which even defeated his disgust for the heat.

"Go and watch baseball!"

Lie, it must be a lie.

Xiaolin looked at Dalin contemptuously, guessing with certainty in his heart. Is it so disgusting to laugh at baseball?

"I'll go with you."

Xiaolin gestured to stand up. In fact, he just frightened the other party, waiting to see how Dalin rejected him in a panic.

"OK!"

Who would have thought, Dalin agreed without any hesitation.

Xiaolin looked at the sun outside, and cried silently.

When the two arrived at Matsumoto Stadium, they saw a lot of people gathered on the pitch.

"I'm going, are these people sick?"

Xiao Lin frowned in dissatisfaction. On such a hot day, it was tragic enough to accompany Da Lin to the stadium. He didn't expect that he would see so many people who were as tragic as him. On such a hot day, do you not honestly blow the air conditioner at home and come here to bask in the sun? Really sick!

The audience was roughly divided into two camps. One side supported Nagano Metropolitan High School. Most of them wore uniform school uniforms and should be students of Nagano Metropolitan High School. Surrounded by the students were the parents of the players, the alumni of Metropolitan High School, and their fans.

There were a total of one or two thousand people, and the entire first base sidestand was full.

The other side is different, there are not many people, only three or five hundred. It seems that there are old and young people, and they don't wear uniform clothes. Compared with the supporters on the opposite side, they are like a motley crew.

"Here, here!"

Dalin took Xiaolin and came to the team of the motley army.

Kobayashi complained in his heart, this is really a group that fits Dalin's image.

"coming!"

I don't know who shouted, and Xiaolin saw two teams on the court.

The two teams, one wearing a yellow jersey, looked tall and imposing. The other team has several fewer numbers than the other team, and the jerseys are milky white. The players are tall and short, and they are uneven.

The spirit of both teams looks similar to their supporters.

"This is probably someone who is playing with a bird."

Xiaolin complained in his heart.

But before he finished complaining, he found that the rogue army audience on his side suddenly became restless.

"It's up to you, Akagi comedy group."

"It's time to show your perfect defense."

"Let the little brats of Nagano Metropolitan also see your nonsense baseball."

...

Xiaolin looked at the crazy fans around him in disbelief, and then looked at Dalin aggrieved.

"Brother, are you sure the people here didn't run out of the mental hospital?"

On the field, in the team of Nagano Metropolitan High School.

The team's vice-captain, Xiao Chuan, looked at the auditorium opposite him puzzled.

"Is Akagi Middle School so famous?"

Regardless of the supporters of relatives and friends and their own school, the number of fans and supporters of Akagi Middle School can be equal to that of Nagano Metropolis, one of the three kings of Nagano.

Of course the Nagano Metropolitan players couldn't understand it.

"Hmph, you're famous for playing tricks."

Marian sneered with a braided braid.

Yesterday, he deliberately ran to provoke, but he didn't expect to hit cotton with a fist.

Akagi Middle School, like an unknown creature, peeping around him, made him very uncomfortable.

Before the start of the game, the captains of both teams guessed their fists, and Sawamura once again lost without any accident.

Nagano Metropolitan High School, chose the first attack.

Before the official start of the game, the coaches of both sides cheered on their players.

The team of Nagano Metropolitan High School.

Their coach Feng Xiang Long Yi looked at the disciples around him indifferently, and then said, "We want to win!"

"Ooooooooo!!!"

The Nagano Metropolitan players roared in unison.

The assistant coach next to him can't stand it anymore. Anyway, this is also a quarter-final, an eight-in-four game. Aren't those two words too perfunctory?

"Coach, tactics, are there any tactics."

The assistant coach reminded in a low voice.

Feng Xiang Long Yi glanced at him lightly, then nodded.

Assistant coach, relieved.

"Want to win!"

Then he heard Fengxiang Longyi say something that almost made him vomit blood.

To win, and to win!

Facing Akagi Middle School, coach Fengxiang Longyi didn't bother to develop any tactics.

In his mind, the two teams are not at the same level at all.

On the other side, Akagi's team.

Before everyone came on stage, Sawamura walked at the front and suddenly turned around and said.

"Don't forget, we are challengers!"

Hearing Sawamura's words, there was no more confusion in the eyes of the little friend.

We are challengers!

Losing is no big deal, winning is all about winning.

Fight, so what?

"Come on!"

Sawamura said.

Behind him, the little friends walked onto the court one by one with high fighting spirit.

In the first half of the game, Nagano Metropolitan Middle School attacked.

"First bat, second baseman, Ogawa."

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!"

"Ping!"

On the third ball after two consecutive strikes, Ogawa finally swung the bat. He hit the ball five meters to the left of the first baseman, and the baseball landed with a 'pop'.

In front of the baseball, Oda Benson had been ready for battle, lightly picked up the ball into his glove, and returned to first base.

"Out!"

Xiaochuan's face was a little ugly.

He passed by his own second club in the end, and exchanged information with each other.

"Cut, haven't you eaten, Xiaochuan?"

Speaking of which, Xiaochuan really didn't play the ball very well, he was weak.

Xiaochuan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Qiuwei is much heavier than I thought, you'd better be careful."
