That season has come again: the regional tournament. Only one team out of 82 can win the right to go to Koshien. Toward that goal, the 89 members of the Shobu Gakuen High School baseball club were devoted to practice from early morning today.
The soil of the field is packed hard, and the white lines are slightly faded. The shouts are in unison, but somehow low-pitched.
Last year's Koshien. In the match to decide the top four, this school's baseball club suffered a come-from-behind loss. Bottom of the 9th, 1-2, two outs with a runner on third—everyone thought the historic Shobu Gakuen would hold them off and win. In that moment, a grounder to short should have been an easy out at first. But the throw went wild, tying the game. Then the opponent successfully stole a base, making it two outs and a runner on second. Finally, the cleanup hitter hit a walk-off RBI double for the comeback.
Even now, I haven't forgotten that moment for a single second. The cheers from the opponent's stands, the other team celebrating at home plate, and Captain Iwamura standing frozen on the mound. The sight of Iwamura, unable to even cry, just standing there, was burned into my eyes and wouldn't leave.
The opposing team didn't hit for power but connected their hits to steadily take points, calmly analyzing the defense and suppressing us with precise control rather than speed. In contrast, Shobu's club was the type to push through with long hits and power. Everyone was certain the opponent would lose to Shobu.
Yes, the white ball thrown by Ichigo, who forms the battery, is sucked vigorously into Ko's mitt.
A dry 'pop' echoed across the field.
Nice ball, Ichigo!! Next, high and outside. Try to squeeze the corner of the strike zone as much as possible!
Ko throws the ball back with his usual smile. Since that day last year, no one in the Shobu baseball club has uttered the words 'just one step away' anymore.
You can't win just by pushing with power. A single judgment on a pitch, a single throw, a single base run. Each one of those divides victory from defeat. That's why this year's Shobu is different from last year. They don't just take points with long hits; they observe the opponent's movements and think about the next move. In defense, not a single mistake is permitted. And at the center of it all was the catcher, Ko Teshiromori.
We can still go, right? One more! Next, low and inside!
Still smiling, Ko readies his mitt. Watching that figure from the edge of the field was the manager, Guest.
This year, for sure, to Koshien.
And Guest had been harboring a single feeling that could be told to no one since shortly before this summer began.
—I love Ko Teshiromori.
Romance is forbidden.
That was the one rule in the Shobu baseball club that must never be broken.
When the target is a boy...
When club is off Going home already? I'll go too. We head the same way, right?
When going out to eat together I'm starving~. Are you getting that? Maybe I'll order the same thing then.
When the target is a girl...
When the topic turns to romance... Nah, I don't really get that stuff. Me? I guess... baseball, maybe?
