Chapter 81 The Boy and Girl's Halftime
During the lunch break, Toru Watanabe took the initiative to leave the music classroom. He originally planned to go to the Human Observation Department and take a nap on the sofa. However, Kiyono Rin was there listening attentively to the performance of the famous wind instrument school.
Thinking that it was impolite to sleep in front of someone who was working hard, he simply went to the playground to find Kunii Osamu.
Even though he is only a reserve member, this guy is also working hard for the Koshien qualifiers in July.
"Watanabe? You're just in time, hurry up!"
Before Watanabe Toru could react, Kunii Osamu handed him a pair of baseball gloves and a ball.
"do what?"
"Please be my pitcher and train with me." Kunii Osamu said as he turned and walked towards the batter's box.
“…”
Being asked by his friend to help with training, Toru Watanabe couldn't say that he was there for a lunch break.
Ah, if I had known earlier I would not have come and would have gone back to the classroom to sleep.
He turned around and found the pitcher's mound, walked over lazily, and put on a baseball glove that was the right size.
"Come on! Dyna, throw your last ball!" Kunii Osamu, who was in a batting stance, shouted at Watanabe Toru.
"I'm sorry, I'm here to fight Kamen, not Ultraman."
Because the distance between the batter's box and the pitcher's box is 18.44 meters, what Watanabe Toru said subconsciously in a normal voice was not transmitted.
But it doesn't matter, because Watanabe Toru will defend Kamen's face.
"The rules of victory have been determined!" This time Watanabe Toru shouted loudly.
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
Toru Watanabe took advantage of Kunii Osamu's confusion and threw his arm, but was still easily knocked out by the opponent.
"The ball is too slow!" Kunii Osamu shouted.
Watanabe Toru rubbed his arm, which felt a little uncomfortable after he had exerted all his strength, and began to reflect on himself: As expected, the Founding Knight who talks about the law of victory is unreliable. After all, this guy is famous for being defeated.
Come to think of it, what other lines were there... Toru Watanabe reached out and pulled out a new ball from the basket.
"Damn it! Come on!" Toru Watanabe threw the ball in a climax state right from the start.
"Bang--"
The metal bat hit the ball with a crisp thump, and then the ball shot straight up into the blue summer sky.
"It's impossible to win without Dyna! Give up and become the light with me!" Kunii Osamu waved the bat proudly.
"Burn your life!"
"Bang--"
“Show time!”
"Bang--"
"Die!"
"There is no such line at all! Stop trying to fish in troubled waters!"
"Shut up!"
"Fake! Aren't you a qualified card player? Let me punish you! Sacrifice yourself for justice!" Kunii Osamu said this, swinging the bat with all his strength in anger.
A beautiful home run was born.
…
In the music classroom, several girls were chatting about boring topics by the window.
"Did you know? Tamako and Mochizo from the next door dance club are dating!"
"Biscuit? Who are you talking about?"
"That's the handsome blond guy in Class 3 of Grade 3! The one who secretly got his earrings pierced and is always filming videos with a camera! He's so beautiful, you know that, right? He asked you to film a short video with him."
"Oh, him. Although he looks good, his personality is totally not my type."
"Eh? You're not from the Appearance Association?"
"shallow."
Tamamo Yoshimi answered with feigned disdain, causing everyone to laugh meaninglessly.
"That's great, I want a boyfriend too...ah, look!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sight. Under the sun at noon in June, the temperature was so high that girls would never leave the room without any precautions. There were two boys hitting baseballs on the baseball field.
The guy in the batting box was yelling something to the pitcher's box, and then it was obvious that the pitcher took advantage of the situation and swung his arm to throw the ball.
Through the window, slightly distorted light shone on the pitcher.
Because of the wide swing of his arms, the ironed straight white shirt was wrinkled, and the handsome face was shining brightly, making people unable to take their eyes off it.
Suddenly, perhaps because of the heat, or perhaps to make it easier, the pitcher boldly unbuttoned three buttons of his collar.
The collarbone and the white chest were all exposed.
As the girls watched, they felt a little breathless for some reason. After they came to their senses, they looked at each other and then lowered their eyes embarrassedly.
"Watanabe-san is so handsome!"
"Hey, you don't like him, do you? He has a girlfriend, and she's a young lady."
"There is no such thing, I just admire his looks!"
"Oh? Really? Why did you look away?"
"…If Watanabe breaks up with Kujo-san and confesses to me, it's not impossible for me to date him reluctantly."
"How dare you say that! You actually want the other person to confess his love!"
The girls laughed again, but this time Tamamo Haomei didn't laugh. She looked at Watanabe Toru on the playground, her hand unconsciously stroking the trombone in her arms.
"But I discovered a secret. Watanabe might be secretly having an affair with Miss Kujo."
"Miss" is the name given to Qingye Rin by the brass band in a mocking way.
"Impossible?"
"How is it impossible? In the past two days, I saw them walking together several times, even going to the bathroom together! Do you believe it? And, Watanabe sent the young lady home yesterday!"
"Isn't that two-timing?"
"That's terrible. It turns out that all handsome guys are bad, right? So beautiful."
"I don't know if he's a handsome guy, but Watanabe Toru is definitely a scumbag."
"Wow! This is the first time I see Hao Mei targeting one person like this!"
"This is also the first time I've heard Hao Mei say this about a boy. However, even though he's a scumbag, if he's willing to mend his ways and promise to only treat me well in the future, it's not impossible to date him."
“Eh~~~?”
"Hate it! Handsome guys are justice!"
"You're just attracted to someone else's body. What a pornographic statement!"
The girls laughed again.
The one-hour lunch break passed quickly. Watanabe Toru was covered in sweat and was too embarrassed to go back to the oboe & bassoon section, so he went to the activity room of the Human Observation Department.
The cool air in the room instantly brought him back to life.
Qingye Rin was listening to the music attentively when he suddenly smelled a smell of sweat and frowned slightly.
She took off one of her headphones and looked Watanabe Toru up and down: "Running?"
Watanabe Toru didn't want to talk much, so he waved his hand : "Baseball."
"If your hands are sore the next day, it's entirely your own fault. I won't allow you to take time off from training."
"How cruel. But don't worry, I exercise regularly, so this amount of exercise is not a problem at all."
"That's good." Qingye Rin put on her headphones again and immersed herself in the world of music.
Toru Watanabe took a break and ate some grapes from the refrigerator.
While eating, he stared blankly at the sky outside the window, and suddenly slapped the table. Qingye Rin was startled and his shoulders shook.
"What are you doing?" There was a hint of anger in her tone.
Watanabe Toru swallowed the grapes and said, "I was wondering why I always lose. It turns out it's because I didn't yell 'transform' at the beginning!"
Qingye Rin looked confused.
"That's it... Never mind, I'll show you."
Toru Watanabe stood up, put his arm around his slender waist, and took out his cell phone.
"Remember, the transformation code is 555. If you press 5821, it will summon a motorcycle."
"I don't have a dream, but I can protect it and transform!"
Qingye Rin looked at him without any fluctuation in his eyes.
"Cough." Watanabe Toru coughed, sat down, and reached out to pull off a grape.
