A/n: Sorry for being late today guys!
The match between Seidou and Maimon continued, with Seidou stealing another 3 points. Currently, the score was 16 to 0 at the top of the fourth, in Seidou's favor. The spectators were watching the match carefully up until now. They all had taken a liking to Seidou's monster first year pitcher, Furuya. So to see that a new pitcher was walking onto the mound, it had shocked them.
"16 point difference in 4 innings...."
"Seidou already switched their pitcher.."
"A southpaw, also a first year."
"With a score like that, I don't think Tanba the Ace will get an appearance."
Eijun walked onto the mound with an all too obvious grin. Of course the rest of the team knew how Eijun was.
"Be calm!" Yuuki had ordered from first base.
"2 point are allowed!" Jun yelled from the outfield. "Any more and I'll kill you!"
"You don't need to smile." Kuramochi laughed at his roommate.
"Give your best!" Masuko grunted.
"I'm right behind you." Esumi muttered mostly to herself.
"HAAH!?" Jun yelled again, this time directed toward the right fielder. "What the hell kinda encouragement is that? Say it louder!" He demanded, glaring at the girl.
Esumi sighed, knowing that everyone was waiting. She took a deep breath in. "I'm right behind you Ei-nii!!" She yelled toward her brother.
"YES!" Eijun smirked, having heard Esumi say her usual words of encouragement. "I'll let them hit plenty, so please take care of it!"
Jun, then, glared to the left fielder. Furuya was substituted in as the left fielder, much to his dismay. "You say something too!" Jun growled at the stoic first year. But Furuya refused to say anything. He was too mad that Eijun was switched with him.
At home plate, Miyuki was crouched down. In his head, he thought about what kind of pitcher Eijun was. Miyuki glanced toward Kataoka, knowing that the coach had something in mind. The catcher glanced toward the third year catcher in the dugout. Chris had smirked, catching Miyuki's eye.
With frustration building up, Maimon vigorously cheered for their batter to get a good hit. Maimon's coach yelled desperately, "Just concentrate on your own swing! Put in your three years of effort!!" Hearing their coach yell, Maimon began to get louder.
Eijun stood on the mound, amazed by the amount of encouragement Maimon was displaying. 'I guess the feelings of the third years towards their last tournament are the same for each school...' He couldn't help but think.
"BRING IT ON!" The current Maimon batter screamed. He was touched by his teammates sudden cheering.
'Don't get sucked in Sawamura. This is the summer. The real deal.' Miyuki made eye contact with Eijun from his spot behind the batter. The second year catcher signed and moved his mitt into position. Eijun nodded ever-so-discreetly, raising his arms up to pitch. Eijun raised his right leg, swung his arm, and threw the ball forward.
"Ei-nii.." Esumi frowned, just before watching the ball hit the batter in the shoulder.
The Seidou members froze. What had they been expecting from the idiot pitcher?
"Guh, it hurts..but, so lucky..." The current batter groaned, bending over his knees.
"Yeah! Our first runner on a base!"
