Diamond No Ace: The Strongest Hitter Has Arrived
Chapter 641 - 641: Narrow Road
Narumiya Mei, Carlos, Yamaoka Riku, Shirakawa Katsuyuki, and Yabe.
As players from Tokyo in this generation, it was impossible not to have heard these names.
Zhang Han and Miyuki were even old acquaintances with these few. They had started competing against each other in middle school, and their grudges and rivalries had lasted for several years now.
"This is too much of a coincidence. Are you waiting for us here on purpose?"
Carlos had a smile on his face.
"We don't have an interest in waiting for people in the restroom."
Zhang Han quickly shook his head, "But congratulations to you all for successfully making it to the finals."
"We're very happy to hear blessings from our opponent for the day after tomorrow's game. We'll take your good wishes!"
Shirakawa Katsuyuki said.
As soon as this guy opened his mouth, his words were very damaging.
It was as if Seido High School Baseball Team would definitely lose the game the day after tomorrow.
"Of course, we have to congratulate you. If we don't, we won't have a chance."
Kuramochi was not one to remain silent either. He also showed a smile and said with a sincere tone.
However, this expression on his face inevitably made people feel strange.
"Hey, you guys are a bit too proactive, aren't you?"
Someone protested with great dissatisfaction.
Narumiya Mei, who loved to show off, hadn't even been able to speak after meeting Miyuki and Zhang Han.
He stepped past a few people and came in front of Zhang Han and Miyuki.
"This is good. It saves me the trouble of going to inform you. The game the day after tomorrow…"
"Do you want to admit defeat early now? I wonder if your Coach Kunitomo knows? Be careful, if he finds out, he might kick you off the Ace position."
When it came to being sharp-tongued, who could compare to Miyuki?
Originally, when Miyuki faced Inashiro Industrial's five-man group alone, although he was unwilling to admit defeat, he found it difficult to gain any advantage with his words.
After all, his own confidence, compared to those five people, indeed had a considerable gap.
But now with Zhang Han there, plus Kuramochi, this boy with explosive combat power, also present. With the three of them against Inashiro Industrial High School's five people, he suddenly felt less flustered.
Let's see who's stronger. Who's afraid of whom?
Once he regained his normal mindset, Miyuki's sharp tongue could probably make anyone hit a wall.
Narumiya Mei's face darkened with anger.
"Losers, what's there to be arrogant about?"
"The feeling is mutual. We've had wins and losses against each other."
When Zhang Han saw Miyuki step forward, he naturally had to support his own companion.
Since they entered high school, they had played against Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team three times: two official games and one practice game.
Although Seido lost twice, in official games, they each won once.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say they had wins and losses against each other.
However, the companions from Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team clearly did not agree with this conclusion.
"If I remember correctly, since Azuma-senpai and the others retired, you've had two consecutive losses against us, haven't you?"
Carlos spared no effort in twisting the knife.
At first, the atmosphere among everyone was relatively harmonious, just simple greetings.
After all, they were all important people, and no one would really want to completely fall out.
But these people were all teenagers, full of youthful vigor.
Once they really started arguing, who wouldn't get a little heated? It was impossible to avoid talking with a lot of gunpowder.
Just like that, with one sentence after another, the atmosphere became completely tense.
"It's just a small game, only you guys are still dwelling on it. The real showdown, let's talk about it during the Summer Tournament."
"We are the Koshien champions, and you? Quarter-finals, right! And that was thanks to Azuma-senpai and the others!"
"Then you should go back and properly touch your Koshien championship trophy. After all, it's your only one, very memorable."
Kuramochi said impolitely.
The smile on his face was almost impossible to maintain.
Zhang Han subconsciously curled his lip.
As expected, Shirakawa did not miss this opportunity.
He lowered his head, gloomily scrutinizing Kuramochi.
"At least we have a championship trophy to touch, unlike some people who probably won't even have a chance to touch a trophy at all."
The smile on Kuramochi's face completely disappeared, and he angrily took a step forward.
Miyuki and Zhang Han simultaneously reached out to block Kuramochi.
But their worries were clearly unnecessary. After his body acted instinctively, Kuramochi also knew that the result of his anger would not be good for him or the team.
He had already stopped himself.
"We will definitely have a championship, starting with this Kanto Tournament."
At this point, there was nothing more for the two sides to talk about.
Zhang Han took the initiative to issue a challenge.
"Then you'd better work hard! Although the Kanto Tournament trophy is a bit small, we don't plan on giving it to you."
Narumiya Mei, with a smile, led his companions past Zhang Han and the others.
Zhang Han and Miyuki also had smiles on their faces.
It was as if the tension just now had never happened.
After the two sides had put some distance between them and could no longer see each other, the smiles on the faces of Narumiya Mei, Zhang Han, Miyuki, and the other players present all disappeared.
They wore expressions of grim determination.
Originally, Seido High School Baseball Team and Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team were rivals.
Their games were intertwined with various emotions and entanglements.
Now, there was one more reason to secure victory.
"These hateful guys, we must teach them a good lesson in the game the day after tomorrow."
As someone who was used to physical action, Kuramochi's verbal sparring skills were not just a little bit worse than Zhang Han and Miyuki's.
Otherwise, during the verbal battle between the two sides just now, he wouldn't have been the first to show weakness.
But as a man of action, he had his own way of fighting.
For the game against Inashiro Industrial the day after tomorrow, he secretly swore that he would make those guys from Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team regret it.
"After all, they won the national championship. Even if we dislike them, there's no way to change that."
Miyuki, in contrast, was a typical pragmatist. He had already started considering how to fight against Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team next.
However, without meaning to, this sharp-tongued guy had hurt two teammates.
Yes, compared to Inashiro Industrial, their record of reaching the quarter-finals in the Summer Koshien seemed a bit unimpressive.
"We're going to be late. Let's talk about it back at school."
Not only Kuramochi and Miyuki, but Zhang Han also secretly swore in his heart that no matter what, they had to win the game the day after tomorrow.
Everyone fights for their own pride, just as reputation matters to everyone.
Other things were fine, but losing face was absolutely unacceptable.
On the bus, Coach Kataoka instructed Manager Ota to inform all the players.
"We'll have a meeting directly after we get back."
