Futago
Play's.

Yuki came out from inside the bathroom wearing a black long cuff in a white short shirt and trousers of the same color, she combed her hair for a moment.

Hotaru, it seems like I will make you angry again, inner Yuki.

"Suzune san, it looks like I need a hair tie." Yuki said a little unpleasant.

Suzune who was arranging the food told Yuki to sit next to her. Without saying much Yuki followed the woman's orders.

"I'll tie your hair, so enjoy breakfast and listen to me?." Yuki nodded taking his chopsticks.

Suzune sat behind Yuki combing the girl's straight and soft black hair.

"You can keep scrolling your hair if you want." Suzune said, her female instincts realized that Yuki was reluctant to tie her hair.

"I'll do it later, but for now I have to warm up. I think my hair's gonna be a little annoying." Yuki.

"Well, before the game heat up your arms to avoid unwanted injuries. Be careful with the ball." Suzune warned.

"Good." Answer Yuki.

"The coach all night looking for a uniform for you, that's the smallest size. Thank goodness it fits in your body." said Suzune.

"Pick."

"But do not know with his shoes, if greatness tell me later I will find again, and for the glove you can ask Hajime kun to help adjust to your hands." Yuki placed her chopsticks on top of the cup.

"I learned that from someone." Yuki answered his hand moving as if holding a ball." Suzune stood up walking to the other side.

"Have you tried holding the ball?." Yuki nodded.

"That means you already know high school baseball, don't force yourself." Suzune said, Yuki knew the woman was worried about her.

"I won't lose to Mi Chan." Yuki replied optimistically.

"I don't know what your relationship is, but you seem to be eager to get into the science club." Yuki's hand twitched doing various grip on the ball as he read last night.

"Scientific work is very important to me." Yuki replied smiling sincerely to Suzune.

"Mm, Mi Chan is only my guardian here. There's nothing special between us." Yuki's teasingly raised one eyebrow made Suzune misbehave.

"I don't mean I'm curious or anything." Sergeh Suzune.

Yuki held back her smile, it turned out that an adult woman like Suzune could misbehave as well.

"Yes, I understand." Answer Yuki.

"Thank you for breakfast." Yuki cupped her hands in front of her chest.

"Leave the plates there, you need to get ready." Suzune.

"Sorry Suzune san and thank you." Yuki immediately tidied up her uniform.

Putting clothes in pants, wearing long socks. Adjust the glove in his hand and release it again.

"I'll give you the gloves you asked for later before the game starts." Suzune.

"Hi'." Yuki replied, Putting a small book beside her, she tried to tie the shoelaces properly.

"How's your shoe size?." Ask Suzune.

"It's a fitting Suzune san." Answer Yuki. Suzune saw Yuki was so focused on her shoelaces, the girl smiled in satisfaction as the rope managed to be tied perfectly.

Cute, inner Suzune.

"Where do you want to warm up?." Ask Suzune.

"In front of the female dormitory, this hallway seems to be rarely passed." Yuki's reply stood looking at Suzune.

"I don't want a lot of people to know I'm playing a game with the members of a baseball club. Because it will definitely make me a hassle later." Yuki said remembering the haters.

"Hachibara san, it looks like the coach will make you fight the first team members. I don't know what's on the coach's mind, I never thought he'd make it this far." Suzune said her voice sounded a little frustrated.

"When I defied the coach's decision he said, don't underestimate him. I can't say anything more to avenge her." Suzune's complaint tells Yuki.

"Then listen to him." Yuuki Sahut.

"Eh?." Suzune's confused.

"You have a plan?." Suzune looked at Yuki's blue bead. Yuki smiled and started to explain his plan.

"I'm sorry for my selfishness you're all involved." Yuki bowed a little.

"I'll go warm up first." Pamit Yuki opened the door.

"I'll get someone to catch your throw later." Sergey quick Suzune.

"Onegayschimasu! (Please help)." Yuki shouted running away.

Yuki stretched her whole body starting to do a small warm-up for fifteen minutes after which she ran back and forth in that quiet place. Almost two hours he kept running, his ears heard the sound of hurried footsteps from behind, then the voice stopped.

"You .., woman." After giving a long enough pause.

Yuki flipped her body staring at the male with a catcher kit wrapped around her body.

"A a I was asked here to accompany the pitcher to warm up by Suzune san. Da and I," Yuki bowed forty-five degrees.

"Yoroshiku onegaishimasu (Please cooperate with him)." Yuki. The man was silent for a moment.

"E e eeh?. Ha hai'." Answer stuttered.

Yuki walked over, stretched out his hand asking for the ball. The man gave the ball away awkwardly. After receiving the ball Yuki checks his fingers on the ball to make sure it is placed correctly.

"I'm the one who asked to pair up with an experienced catcher," Yuki who suddenly raised a voice surprised the man.

"I also can't warm up in the bullpen (where pitchers warm up and try to practice a variety of pitches) because there are a lot of real pitchers there." The face of the man who had been shocked turned puzzled.

"I just learned about baseball last night sorry if I made a lot of mistakes. Let's get started." Yuki walked away.

The real pitcher?, just learned last night?, he did not know about the game of baseball and suddenly wanted to become a pitcher?!, has this beautiful girl gone crazy, the inner man.

"I've seen second-rate pitchers throw different styles of throws, have you ever caught their throw?." Yuki asked preparing in her position.

"Yes, I caught their throw in the bullpen." The man replied, sitting in front of Yuki preparing to receive the girl's throw.

"What do you think of their throw?." Yuki positioned his fingers on the ball.

"Nakashima had a very fast straight throw, his speed was almost one hundred and forty-seven kilo meters per hour." Obviously that man.

Yuki raised her leg.

"Ready, I throw." Yuki exclaimed, the man stuttered as he had been focusing on explaining about his junior and suddenly Yuki had already thrown a ball at him.

***

Just when the innings (chapters) to the top three Yuki with the man who became the catcher earlier walked infiltrated from the back of the bench B team. Team B players are defending and team A is attacking. Yuki stands behind Suzune who plays the coach of team B.

"Suzune san, looks like we missed two figures." Lirih Yuki, Suzune was not surprised by the presence of Yuki they had talked about it this morning, but other players only on the bench. They looked at Yuki as if looking at a ghost.

"Yes, I'm very grateful that our players can hold him on two numbers. You sure you don't want to warm up again?." Ask Suzune.

"No. I want to see team A hit and learn it, I haven't had time to read how to hit good." Yuki smiled her smile at Suzune who glanced at her behind.

Hah .?, what does he mean by studying, and why is he here wearing the player's uniform?, the inner people who are on the bench.

Yuki watched the players of team A swing their batt (hitters). Yuki's brain is working quickly to study the entire field. They missed two more numbers and their gap is now four.

Yuki glanced at the bullpen on the edge of the field which was very noisy, it turned out that there was Inuzuka who was warming up. As usual Inuzuka did not want to be silent both his body and his mouth which continued to shout encouraging his seniors.

Finally team A hit three outs, the players immediately ran back to the bench. Yuki was a little nervous to be there, she further hid her body behind Suzune.

"All of you gather together, and lower your voices." Suzune said firmly.

"Hi'." Answer them in unison.

"Before the game I said there will be a replacement pitcher in the fourth round, and the one who will replace him is him, Hachibara san." Obviously Suzune, Yuki took a deep breath and then came out from her hiding place.

"Huh ...!?." Excite them.

"Diminish your voices!." Suzune Grit.

"Wait a minute, she's a girl, what's she thinking." The male was large and a little short from Yuki.

"It's the coach's decision, you want to refute it?." Suzune asked flatly.

"It's not."

"Tell Kurokawa about the throw, Kurokawa caught Hachibara san's throw." All eyes were on the man named Kurokawa.

"Anci ... I'm sorry, maybe your pride is hurt by playing with a weak woman like me. I also just learned about baseball last night and saw the real game twice, but ... I don't want to be a weakness for this team. I'll hit a home run even if I only ever touch the batt once (to destroy the damn piano, Yuki continued inwardly) but I will definitely do it, so .., please cooperate!." Firmly Yuki bowed deeply.

Crazy girl, she's crazy but cute, pretty but not w*ras, inner players.

"What are you guys doing, hurry the next hitter!." Mizutani shouted from the field.

"I don't want to lose, this team has to win. Will you show me how to hit the good?." Yuki asked hoping, whether the girl was conscious or not her eyes formed puppy eyes. Of course it made the heart thump of the players without exception and Suzune who was staring at the girl from the side.

"Right, don't expect more." Shouted his friends from the bench. Yuki smiled slightly watching the members of his team.

No one reprimands Yuki the girl is so focused on the hitters making the next hitter even more excited because they realize they are being noticed.

"Kurokawa have you explained everything to Sato?." Ask Suzune.

"Yes." Yeah." Kurokawa replied and then glanced at Yuki.

"Senpai, you have to be careful. He didn't seem to be messing with her words." Kurokawa recalled a few minutes ago.

Flashbacks.

Bum!.

The sound of gloves when catching the ball sounds loud and beautiful.

"What about Inuzuka kun's throw?, what kind of throw did he do?." Yuki asked without heeding the man's expression.

"In him, glue ekhem." The man cleared his throat and remained silent for a while, throwing the ball back at Yuki.

"The throw is not fast but he has a breaking ball or can be called a breaking ball (the ball changes direction after being thrown, usually to the side/down aiming to be difficult to hit), the throw is also consistently always right in the direction of the mitt (cather gloves/catchers, larger in size than other players' gloves)." Obviously that guy again.

"I'll do a forkball (a ball toss that suddenly falls in front of the bat before it gets to the catcher's glove)." Yuki then threw the ball.

Bum!.

Uussoo ... Jehoiao jyanai yo, (Bohhoung ... Don't joke), inner man.

Flashback.

Sato turned to sit next to Yuki, glancing at the girl for a moment. His body was small, there was no way he could throw fast with a hard ball, Sato's inner.

"I'm the backup catcher in the core team, third-rate Sato. Suzune san who asked me to be the catcher of team B in this match." Said Sato still glancing at Yuki.

"I only asked not to pair with a new child, not expecting to pair with senpai, I was honored." Yuki replied, turning to Sato for a while and looking forward again.

"Catcher first team Kudo Kotaro second class one." Yuki was surprised he immediately turned to Catcher who was sitting in the field.

"Are you sure you can beat the core team's strategy brain?." Sato asked a little underestimating.

"Isn't that senpai's job?, I'll just give you a throw that senpai wants. But," Yuki glanced at Sato continuing her sentence.

"Kalo senpai doesn't mind my strategy, I'll gladly do it." Yuki smiled.

"What kind of throws do you have?." Ask Sato. Yuki took out her little book giving the book to Sato.

"Everything there." Yuki replied again paying attention to Nakashima's super-fast throw.

"Your flight is too far away Hachibara san." Sato closed the book.

The hitters are back, everyone is standing ready to go back to the field. Yuki slipped her unraveled hair behind her ears wearing a white hat.

"Sorry we can't score." Said one of the hitters.

"I didn't hit a home run." Her speech was lethargic.

Plaque.

The other player hit hard behind the man's head.

"I told you not to expect more." Their mischief made the other players laugh.

"There's still a next chance." Yuki's words turned their attention to her.

"I'll hold them back from scoring in this inning, and in the next inning we give a counterattack." Yuki said optimistically.

The players don't know what to do.

"Senpai, let's see if my dress goes too far on my first throw." Yuki smiled lightly putting on her gloves.

"All of you please go to the field and do your best." Suzune cheers.

"Hi'." Excite them compact.

Suzune gave the code to Mizutani as the referee.

"Pitcher change!." Suzune Seru.

"Team B pitching change!." Mizutani.

He's coming, inner Hajime.

It's time yes, Inner Kudo.

Yuki followed the small running players behind them. Fortunately there were no spectators that day, Yuki could freely do as he planned. Yuki walks up the mound (a mound of dirt in the middle of the field where the pitcher threw the ball).

Yuki pressed the rosin bag (a small square-shaped soft object to make a tight finger) so that his finger is not slippery.

"S s senpai!." Yuki turned to find Inuzuka's face in shock, her eyeballs almost popping out. Yuki flashed her smile to Inuzuka.

Cute, Inner Yuki.

"Se buoyant." Inuzuka stuttered indistinctly.

What she wanted to say, Inner Yuki put the rosin bag into the back pocket.

"What are you doing there!." Shouted Inuzuka, he was finally able to speak properly.

Yuki did not answer Inuzuka's question he blew his fingertips prepared, there was a lot of furore on the bench of team A. They protest in a small voice, they don't dare with the coach because the coach looks mediocre.

Yuki stared straight at Sato's open glove waiting for the ball from him, he lifted his foot bent inward and then removed the ball from his hand.

Bums.

The beautiful sound of Sato's gloves dampened the furore a few seconds ago, Yuki threw it not too fast just to warm up. Sato threw the ball back at Yuki, a slow long throw.

I can't protest if they underestimate me, but being thrown as usual doesn't matter, Yuki's mind looked at Sato for a moment. Yuki's warming up again.

"It wasn't that fast." Kurokawa muttered as heard by Suzune.

"What do you mean?." Ask Suzune.

"Eh, that .., when I'm with me the ball is twice as fast. I was afraid I couldn't catch him." Kurokawa. Suzune tilted her head.

A throw like that for beginners is already very good but the catcher says more surprising things, is it possible that such a thing exists?, inner Suzune.

"Sato Senpai should be focused, it's not good to underestimate it." Kurokawa.

Don't underestimate it huh, Inner Suzune recalled the words of Mizutani last night.

Sato ran over to Yuki in the middle of the field, followed by several first, second, and third base guards.

"Your warming is enough. I'm honestly surprised by your throw." Said Sato.

"It's still too soon to surprise senpai." Reply Yuki glanced at the opponent hitter who was getting ready.

"Senpai often catches the throw of Nakashima kun and Inuzuka kun not." Sato nodded.

"What if we fight them with their respective flagship weapons, it must be exciting." Yuki said making a silence in the middle of the field.

He mostly eats, or mostly sleeps, why it bounces around is unclear, their inner selves.

"In this inning I'm just gonna throw a quick ball. Senpai, don't take my ball off."

Deg.

They were stunned by Yuki's words that sounded serious.

"Let's start." Yuki said excitedly.

"O ouh (Yes)." They move back into their respective positions.

"Sato senpai!." Yuki's exclaiming stopped the big man's steps turning his head to look at him.

"Senpai can throw the ball as usual at me, no need to hold back." Yuki said a little smile. Sato turned around without saying anything.

There is a strange force dragging us to follow him, Sato's inner.

Alright then, Kurokawa has also warned me. It was not usual for the child to tremble after catching someone's throw. So .., let me catch your throw, Sato's mind sits prepared.

"Pai! get off that mound. Hachibara senpai! hear me. What are you doing!?." Inuzuka's screams clouded the atmosphere.

Tuk.

"Silence is stupid." Hirogane's classmate Yuki hits Inuzuka's head.

"But senpai, I don't understand what he's doing there." Inuzuka looked at her senior demanding an answer.

"We're all like that too, look at our senpai, they're confused too." Inuzuka glanced at the third grade children.

"We're not kids anymore playing with girls." Hirogane looked at Yuki, his classmate.
