after school.

Time passed quickly.

I yawned profusely.

There aren’t always classes in classes 1-5.

Today, there was no class in my class either.

On days like this, you can’t see Inaba except for the morning ritual and regular ceremonies.

“Hello. Sasaki-san.”

“Yes. haha. hello. Minaki-san. Where are you going?”

“Ah! I’m going to join the baseball club. I have a match today”

I had a question mark on my face at the teacher’s small exclamation and spat.

match?

“Is that…that much? ah. It’s not a negative thing”

“Ahaha. Because the season is coming soon. Because I can only see it now”

After sitting leisurely in the teacher’s office, he walks out quickly.

I found out about it from a conversation we just had.

Today, the Seishun School baseball team is having a game with another school.

Come to think of it.

It’s Koshien season.

A baseball tournament held throughout Japan.

Among them, the competition held in the spring.

Go to the window of the teacher’s office.

Sasaki rested his chin on the window and looked down.

If you stick your head out the window, you can see the stadium at a glance.

If, like me, you don’t mind the feeling of realism, this is also a great place.

I’m slightly interested.

When I was in Korea, I wasn’t really interested.

There’s a women’s baseball team.

At that moment, Inaba caught my eye.

Pitcher’s seat.

The blue uniform he was wearing seemed to be wet with sweat, sticking to his body.

My hands are shaking slightly, as if I’m quite tired.

bang!

“Here, here! My Ball!”

Beep-

“YESSS!”

“Ugh”

The ball Inaba just threw.

The outfielder (the person catching the ball) missed it by a narrow margin.

Looking at the electronic display, the score was [Seishun 0-2 Kaishun] 9 innings.

The ball was just caught and the bases were loaded with no outs.

In other words, a pitcher with bases loaded and no outs can hit a single batter.

0 out, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd bases are advanced by the opposing team.

I don’t watch sports much, but I know this much.

This is a close call right now, right?

“Miss Ayame! Please!”

“Please!”

“Kkkkk. I’ll leave the rest to you”

Seeing Inaba continuing to wipe his sweat as if he was tired.

A person who appears to be a coach is seen yelling.

“Judge! Break time!”

The students and their coach with somewhat solemn expressions.

A brief break from work.

At that, Inaba relaxed with a stern expression.

I can see him trying to pretend to be resolute.

Inyoung approaches Inaba.

Is that person the coach? Wearing a typical baseball jumper and sunglasses.

It’s a female coach… I can’t tell because her face is covered.

I felt like I saw an actress throwing a special first pitch.

The body that looks like a Coke bottle, and the skin that looks slightly brown from the sun, exudes health.

He’s hot?

“Stop it. Inaba. I did enough”

Inaba took a deep breath at the coach’s words and shook his head.

Even up to this point, I can feel that I didn’t give up as the car was shaking.

Her unique stubbornness.

I have the personality of not giving up once I make up my mind.

“No. coach. Still…I can do more”

“I already lost. This is one of the top three teams… and the bases are loaded in the 9th inning. If a goal is lost, make up for it-”

“Coach!”

“You still did well. Inaba! It wasn’t bad. okay. We’ve done enough. So don’t overdo it. you are young Next time, next time I aim again-”

As the coach continued to speak, Inaba raised the water over his head and poured it out.

Pop-

Pop-

The students and coaches around him looked at Inaba.

Water flowed down the cheeks of Inaba’s face.

Looks like he’s trying to come to his senses.

He put the last sip in his mouth, swallowed it, and put it down roughly.

The uniform is now so wet that you can’t tell if it’s sweat.

Inaba didn’t care.

It’s as if you can’t see the people around you.

The coach also looked at her as if he felt something.

I can see that the heaving of my chest has calmed down a bit, as if I’ve gotten my breathing evened out.

Inaba looked at the coach.

“Next time. coach? Phew. Next is good. Next time… we would have won the Koshien”

You can see his hand tightly gripping the baseball that went into the glove.

“So, so… I don’t want to give up now.”

Inaba lowers his hat and turns his head.

“I don’t like stepping down, and I don’t like losing”

Inaba stretched out his gloved hand towards the batter’s box and nodded at the batter.

Provocation.

“I… right now. Not next. Now! This match… I can’t lose. No, I won’t lose”

The coach’s eyes widen.

The coach, covering his face with his hands, shook his head and returned to his chair.

“Do whatever you want. Inaba.”

“Coach!”

Inaba, who understood this attitude to have a negative connotation, screams at the coach.

“..Show me. The power of our Seishun! Even if you lose, show it, Inaba”

I see something shining falling from Inaba’s face.

“Us! He wasn’t such a soft opponent… but a decent opponent!”

“…Coach”

Inaba can be seen rubbing his face with his hands as if his heart is pounding.

It seems like he’s trying to hide his emotions.

I see him silently going to the pitcher’s box.

From that point on, my head tilted to the side.

I was expecting something a little more girly about baseball.

I’m filming a youth drama here.

For a moment, I realized that I had come to the wrong address because the place I came into was a sports store.

Inaba, who had changed as if he had awakened to something, performed a remarkable performance after that.

Breathe-

There is no machine to measure speed, but it was not visible to Sasaki just now.

The moment Inaba ends his pitching form.

The ball had already passed the batter and entered the catcher.

phut-

“One out!”

phut-

“Two out!”

phut-

“Three out…Change!”

The offense and defense are changing.

The opposite situation from just now.

Inaba did it there.

earth!

A clear ringing sound.

Comeback home run.

I eventually won.

Aren’t both the pitcher and the batter Inaba’s one-man show?

I didn’t know that heroines also had main character buffs.

“Inaabaaa!”

“Wow”

Meanwhile, Inaba approached the coach as if he was embarrassed.

“I won. Coach”

The coach also seemed to be overcome with emotion.

I briefly made eye contact with Inaba, who was hugged by the coach.

The sight of him being embarrassed for a moment and then smiling while making a V-shaped face is a must.

At that, I smiled softly, waved my hand moderately, and then got up.

It’s a bit weird for an outsider to interfere in that situation.

I think she will probably come home after finishing her club activities and having an after-party.

I slowly got up and headed to my destination.

Because I am now confident in club activities.

This time, I joined the ghost story club and had a meeting to build friendships with the club members.

Now I have to go to the East and participate.

To be honest, I also wanted to be appointed to the baseball team that Inaba was holding.

Of course, that is unreasonable.

It is a place that is run by hiring physical education teachers and experts.

This is an academy with a name of its own.

It is a bit difficult for me, who is only an English teacher, to intervene.

There’s a women’s baseball team.

Even if I try to act foolishly, my image will only be ruined.

I sigh softly and open the door to the east.

A sweet smell rose to the tip of my nose.

Suzume hanging down

And Kanna is poking Suzume with her finger.

“Oh, Mr. Sasaki!”

“What is it? Wasn’t Suzume sleeping?”

“Ehehe.”

“Sasaki… teacher… er, er… ”

“Huh? Why Kanna?”

Kanna, who was waving her hand in confusion, held out what she was holding.

Thanks to this, a sweet scent wafted out.

I held out my hand forward to the scent.

You want to give me chocolate?

What Kanna held out was paper.

“?”

Is this what you like, Kanna?

“? Sa-Sasaki-sensei, why did you collect your hands?”

“Because I like formalities”

“This time, the student head teacher will now have a responsible teacher as well. They pressured me to participate in club activities. Mr. Sasaki.”

Next to Kanna, who is expressing her doubts.

Suzume, who was stretched out, got up from her seat with a squeak.

“Hiing. So I have no choice but to participate in club activities. My Day Meok Club”

“Cheer up, Suzume…”

Suzume looked at me with moist eyes, pretending to be pitiful as she held the activity record in front of her.

I looked at it gently.

Suzume hugged Kanna, as if she knew she was being stabbed, and buried her head inside it and opened her mouth.

“It’s a social club created to live together with Karongjjingi. I don’t know what to do. Teacher. Help me. Chit”

Was it about building friendships? also!

What is the last chit of modern times, Suzume?

“Hehe So, voila. I have to show you what I did for a month from today. Thank you very much.”

“Sa, Mr. Sasaki…”

No, so what are you asking of me? The object is missing. Is it Shota?

Kanna, even if you look at me with such wide eyes.

“Suzume. The meaning is unclear because there is no subject and object?”

“Hehe. This time, we will be conducting an investigation into the three wonders of our school. Mr. Sasaki”

Suzume, with a sad expression on her face, turned off the lights in the clubroom and approached the table.

Click-

dark stale.

As if to set the mood, Suzume lowered her bangs to cover her face.

He came forward with his hand out.

“Hehehe. A great mystery, a mysterious shadow that appears at midnight”

“A mysterious shadow? Isn’t it just a shadow?”

“Ah, it’s a ghost story club in name only. It’s not fun to be so conclusive! Teacher”

“Not a social club?”

As if ignoring my words, Suzume avoided eye contact and opened her mouth.

“It must be something unidentified!”

ah. I remember this.

It appeared in the original special episode.

This happened after the first semester ended.

It feels like something has been brought forward.

So I didn’t notice until Suzume explained it.

The identity of the mysterious shadow.

Apparently it was just a crow.

Well, I have to stop it from being popular.

I held Kanna’s hand.

Since earlier, the pupil next to me has been trembling non-stop, and I feel like I’m going to fall if I don’t catch it.

I kindly approached Kanna, who was trembling next to me.

“Kanna. You should go too.”

“Yes eh?! Um, me too..?”

“Then”

At my words, Kanna’s complexion suddenly darkened and her head lowered.

“Woo.Hehe…Hehe. Is it time for Jinjo’s blood to awaken”

“Oh”

“Ha, don’t do it.. ugh. Last time, I was hurt by the energy of Requiem…”

“Oh?”

“This is a shame!…Darkness’s energy is still lacking! Okay, let’s do it together next time. My family”

Nicely said, though.

I was shaking and speechless from time to time.

To sum it up, you can’t go because you’re scared, right Kanna?

And since when did I become a member?

Well, the meaning is still conveyed.

He was shaking like that and I couldn’t even ask him to go with me.

Any human being can’t help but feel pity for that sight.

Suzume, who was watching this closely next to me, intervened instead of me.

“Ugh. Are you going to send Suzume alone?”

“Eh..eh?”

“I will definitely die of loneliness. Because of the heartless Karongjjing. It’s clear. It will definitely happen”

“..Ha, but..”

“…Or…Kalongjjing…is…scared…of the dark?”

I saw.

The side of Suzume’s face, who had just covered it with her hands.

The corners of his mouth definitely turned up in a grin.

“It’s a place that even Jinjoin Karongjjing can’t go because he’s scared. Then there is nothing we can do”

“Ugh…Oh, no! That’s nothing. I’m not scared!”

“Then.. will you go together?”

“Yes, yes”

“As expected, it’s Kanna! Then, I’ll be in front of your house at 12 o’clock this Friday night, so don’t run away! Karongjjing, I have to answer the phone”

“Huh..uh?.uh? Hiet”

Response is slow.

I felt like I was caught up in it.

Kanna’s face turned pale, as if the blood had drained from it.

Suzume…you can’t even see Kanna’s appearance for fun?

Ghost story club activity after school next week. decision.
