Chapter Fifteen Goodbye Home Plate(2/2)

This time, just try your best.

Narumi, let me help you show you that you are the strongest!

Ikegami Makoto looked at [Amakusa Narumi frowning in pain], and suddenly thought of something.

Although I don’t know how this guy can still throw the ball at such a high speed, there is no way there is nothing wrong with his arm.

Why did you give up your best straight ball when facing me?

Almost reaching the limit...

He can no longer throw a straight ball, so he wants to mess with my judgment in this way!

Amakusa Narumi, I have seen through your lies!

Next, it’s the forkball!

Makoto Ikegami tightened his grip on the bat.

You can see it, you can hit it.

I can do it!

He watched [Amakusa Narumi] hide his right hand into the pitcher's glove, and his body became a bow.

Then, he threw out his right hand suddenly.

Whoosh!

Snapped!

The ball dropped into the catcher's glove with a crisp sound.

Makoto Ikegami didn't even have time to swing the bat.

Slowly raising his head and looking at the displayed ball speed, his pupils suddenly contracted.

This, what is this?

165km/h!

(Highest speed in Japan, 22 years old)

Makoto Ikegami couldn't hear the deafening exclamations from the audience at all. He just stared blankly at the speed of the ball that he couldn't hit anyway.

In fact, his favorite pitch is also a straight ball.

But since he learned about the existence of Narumi Amakusa, whose average ball speed was faster than his maximum ball speed, he switched to a changeup ball.

Why, even though there is someone like me who is super strong in both offense and defense and has almost unlimited physical strength, there is still someone like Narumi Amakusa...



The second half of the ninth inning.

Makoto Ikegami came on as the starting pitcher.

The first two batters who should have been dealt with quickly made errors that led to first and second base.

Now, [Amakusa Narumi] picked up the bat and stood in front of him.

He didn't know how to vote.

Finally, after being reminded by the referee, he gritted his teeth and attempted a bad shot.

Then……

[Amakusa Narumi] made a powerful and heavy swing, but the swing was empty.

The referee signaled, "strike!"

(In a game, if the pitcher throws a bad ball and the batter swings the bat, whether it is hit or not, it counts as one hit, that is, it is counted as a strike.)

Everyone was stunned.

The scene was very quiet for a while.

Ikegami Makoto's heart skipped a beat.

Yes, it is an opportunity!

Just get this guy out.

Others are nothing to be afraid of!

He changed his angle and tried another bad shot.

This time, [Amakusa Narumi] didn’t swing the bat again.

Still maintaining the posture of holding the bat high.

Seeing this, Ikegami Cheng guessed that he might have made a mistake in his judgment just now.

He calmed down and began to think about how to throw the next ball.

Subconsciously, he looked at Amakusa Narumi's arm.

Amakusa Narumi stood on the left side when he swung the bat, which is why his pitch in the second half of the first inning was able to hit his right arm.

if……

Two more shots like this and he's out.

This idea took root in his mind and quickly took root.

Izumi Toru noticed that Ikegami Makoto looked at him with deep malice.

This made him narrow his eyes.

This guy won't do it again...

Are you more disdainful than me?

So, before Ikegami Makoto threw the ball, Izumi Toru took a step back.

The next moment, Ikegami Makoto's expression changed, but it was too late for him to take back the ball in his hand.

This time, it’s a straight shot!

159km/h!

Bang!

The bat collided with the ball, making a thunderous sound.

Ikegami Makoto didn't look at the ball flying high in the sky above his head. He just stared at [Amakusa Narumi], and something broke in his heart.



Kyoko Shiratori is lost.

She couldn't find Izumi Toru, couldn't get through on the phone, and couldn't find her location.

She kept looking around in the audience.

Suddenly, something fell at her feet, which startled her.

Taking a closer look, it's a baseball.

She bent down and picked it up, and found something was wrong with the air around her.

Raising her head, the people around her looked at her with burning eyes, or in other words, at the ball in her hand.

The girl shrank her neck in fear, carefully spread the ball in her hands, and held it high.

"Don't, don't hit me...Give it back to you..."

As cute as a frightened deer.



In this year's Koshien, the legendary [Amakusa Narumi] killed the game with a super long bye home run with his right arm in a nearly useless state.

After the game, his expression was tense, in sharp contrast to the smiles on his teammates' faces.

Therefore, he was named "The King Who Doesn't Smile".
