Yuki changed her casual clothes with a plain three-quarters red sleeve T-shirt that was inserted into a black a/a-line skirt model that featured a small waist circumference of Yuki. She also wears a black hat that someone gave her a few months ago to cover her face, Yuki gives the last touch with a mini sling bag and white sneakers.
"So I'm gone." Pamit Yuki's.
Yuki took the back road to get straight to the destination. From a distance, there were already shouts from baseball club members.
Yuki saw a lot of people watching, from small children to parents, not a few women who also watched the club activities.
Yuki circulated a look at the match that he did not understand at all. He found Mizutani standing behind someone wearing an iron helmet? sitting down squatting.
Yuki really did not understand the game of baseball, which he saw now someone was standing alone in the middle of the field, throwing a ball to be caught by the person in front of him who was sitting squatting, squatting, then there is a person standing next to him a bit forward in charge of hitting the ball.
The screams came back as two men ran on the base in front of the player sitting squatting, up ahead there, scoring. Although Yuki does not understand the game but he can judge if the game is one-sided.
Yuki watched from the sidelines behind one of the mothers, trying to understand.
In the ever-sober scream, Yuki's ears caught a voice familiar to her he circulated a walking gaze to the origin of the sound.
Yuki had no idea what the man was doing, standing on the sidelines throwing balls at the bespectacled man who was also sitting squatting in front of him.
"It looks like your ball isn't faster than the guy who's throwing it in the middle of the field." Said Yuki standing beside the barrier net.
"Whispering. Here and there I worked hard to train my throw." The answer was sarcasm exactly as it was the first time they met.
"Hey! who are you, how dare he mock my throw." His protest was ruffled around his waist and pointed at Yuki.
Yuki's left hand pulled the back of her hat down while her right hand holding the tip of the hat lifted her up slightly.
"Yo, ohayou." Sapa Yuki with a smile.
The man dropped his lower lip glaring at Yuki.
"Why silence?, aren't you practicing?." Tanya Yuki made the two men come to a realization.
"The blue-eyed girl! why are you here?, you .., you .., are dating?." The question was as frenzied as ever, with the face bent and the shoulders sagging down.
"Dating?, of course not." Answer Yuki plain.
"really?! it must be true .., ahahaha." The man laughed loudly like a successful robber who plundered a bank.
"Look at the blue-eyed girl, I'm going up to the mound, throwing a deadly ball at me and no one will be able to hit her." Said arrogant.
"Oi! if you want to keep talking, I'll stay." Someone is across there.
"Don't ... No ... Don't ..!, I'll throw it again." His shaky sergeant made Yuki smile.
"Then it's the spirit!." Yuki said walking away from the man so that he could focus on training.
The two men did not realize that their interaction was seen by the players from the field who were giving off a dark aura looking at the man with a sharp gaze.
Ten minutes had passed and finally the brownish-brown man entered the field, wearing gloves of a different color than his other friends. He's a left-handed, left-handed pitcher.
The match was quite interesting after the man with a brownish outline entered the field, what makes the hitters have trouble hitting the ball, even though the ball is not too fast.
"I want to hit the ball." Saying a low and quiet voice, Yuki turned to the source of the voice to find Hajime standing beside her some distance away.
"Senpai?." Hajime looked at Yuki.
"Osu (Greetings)." The tall man replied, Hajime looks different from his baseball uniform.
"Why is it here?, isn't there a match?." Hajime turned his gaze to look towards the field.
"The core players must not compete, because this is a match between senior and junior, to fight for positions in the empty core team." Hajime.
"Senior and junior, is it because it looks one-sided?." Lirih Yuki's.
"Hm. The coach may be looking for a first-class kid who can help the team, strengthen the team." Answer Hajime. Yuki is back to focusing on seeing the match.
"What happened senpai?, why did the players go off the field?." Ask Yuki.
"You don't know about baseball?." As Hajime asked back, Yuki shook his head slowly.
"They're changing positions. The team that attacked was hit by six strike outs and now they change into a defending team and vice versa." Yuki focused on Hajime's explanation.
"Why is it that only the players sitting in front of you are wearing full armor?." Ask Yuki again.
"The player is referred to as a catcher or catcher who crouches behind the batter or batter and is tasked with catching the ball thrown by the pitcher but not hit by the batter." Yuki listened carefully.
"Pitchers are people who throw the ball from the middle of the field, catchers also provide instructions and strategies to throw the ball to the thrower."
"Because the catcher is a player who has a chance to be hit by the ball more than other players so must use complete safety." Hajime was obviously at length.
Yuki wanted to ask more but she felt bad for her senior. The brownish-haired man Yuki knew entered the beater box he yelled encouragingly at himself making it look kony*l eliciting the laughter of the spectators. Yuki held herself back from getting carried away.
Twice a swing that did not produce results, inexplicably Yuki felt the pounding of his own heart. The third swing hit the bat, the ball bounces past the male defender running quickly after base 2 (base \= a place in the form of a cushion that must be passed by the players).
The brownish-brown man launched his body forward so as not to be exposed out. Do baseball games do a lot of sliding and sliding, do they not feel pain?, thought Yuki.
"If they get hit by one more out they'll switch and not get a score." Hajime's words distracted Yuki.
"What does Senpai think he won't be able to hit him?." Tanya Yuki looked at the small-bodied player who was short compared to other players who were preparing to hit.
"If I'd hit him." Hajime said with conviction. Yuki felt tense.
"I'll take you home ..!." Shouted the small player with his small voice to the brownish-browny male. Yuki held a smile, the player looked cute to Yuki.
"Home?, wouldn't they go home if the kid hadn't hit the ball?." Ask Yuki who just woke up. Hajime laughed making Yuki misbehave even his laughing voice was so calm.
"Aahaha." Hajime continued to laugh.
"Ekhem, sorry. What the player means is to hit the ball so that the player who is in the second base can get to home base, the base in front of the catcher." Obviously Hajime, Yuki who was feeling a little embarrassed covered her face with a hat.
"What happens if that player gets to home base?." Yuki was very curious.
"They will get one point and the game will continue." Answer Hajime.
The little player managed to hit the ball in one try cheers from the audience and players blaring all over the field. Yuki was also nervous to see the brownish-brown man running for base home, the ball was thrown from the defenders to the catcher, the brownish gibberish man hurtling his body as the ball was caught by the catcher.
Yuki's eyes twitched like an eagle looking for its prey, his heart racing.
"The cafe!." Shouted Mizutani as the referee, instantly a roar from the bench broke through the air. Yuki still does not understand her feelings, she also feels happy for no definite reason. This type of sport has toyed with his emotions like riding a roller coaster.
"I still don't understand this sport but, it seems interesting." Yuki.
"Tomorrow Keiji there's a match, maybe if you see it you can gain more knowledge." Hajime.
"Keiji baseball player?." Ask Yuki.
"Pick."
"Have a body so big." Mumbled Yuki.
He recalled coming out of Mizutani's room, in front of the dormitory a group of club members were talking about something. Their high bodies intimidate Yuki, and he decides to go back into the room.
Although it was common to be surrounded by large and very tall body guards, they did not stare at Yuki in such a strange way as the people in this school were staring at Yuki, Yuki felt uneasy.
The match finished the spectators one by one leave the field. Hajime, the man had already returned to his team a few minutes ago. Mizutani approaches Yuki with a woman who looks younger than Mizutani and sexy.
"What do you think, it's fun, not." Mizutani.
"Hm, a sport full of strategy." Answer Yuki.
"You're right, not only is the strategy required the ability to read the odds is also very important." Mizutani.
"What do you want to talk about?." Ask Yuki straight to the point.
"Don't be in a hurry, introduce him to a talent scout from our high school." Mizutani turned to the woman beside her.
"Suzune Ayako salam knows." Said the woman, Yuki lowered her head at a glance.
"Yuki Hachibara." Short reply.
"Yuki, you've decided which club to enter?." Ask Mizutani.
"Not yet."
"How about being the manager of a baseball club." Advice Mizutani.
"What is the job of being a manager?." Yuki asked after thinking for a while.
"You can see on the field" said Mizutani, Yuki also turned to look at the field.
"Like them, preparing drinking water for members, preparing towels, cleaning the ball, sometimes also preparing small meals for the members, writing the score of the match and some other work, etc, a form to support the team." Mizutani.
Does he want me to be their servant?. Don't hope, Inner Yuki.
"Oooii!!, Blue-eyed girl. You saw me print the numbers?!." Asked the brownish-brown man as he ran over to Yuki. Because his loud screams attracted the attention of the other members.
"Kantoku (Coach) thank you for today. I've been given the chance to fight." Said the man confidently and then bowed deeply.
"The coach didn't do it for you Inuzuka san." Suzune Sahut.
"Hehehe .., I will try even harder." Exclaim that man.
"Are you here to see my match?." The man looked at Yuki.
"No." Yuki answered briefly, the man named Inuzuka bent his face.
Mizutani ignores Inuzuka and refocuses on Yuki.
"You can think again tonight, the more managers the team will be helped." Mizutani.
"Well! be our manager!." Srobot Inuzuka is excited.
"I don't want to be a manager with a team next door." Yuki's reply tried to insinuate, Inuzuka approached Yuki her hand started twitching.
"That's because the senpai don't hold back against us, they're too strong, don't have gaps." Inuzuka said reasoned, Yuki tilted her head while raising one eyebrow.
"Then, if I get into the first team you have to be our manager." Inuzuka shouted while pointing at Yuki, the players without exception were observing them.
"I'll think about it." Answer Yuki flatly. Inuzuka smiled broadly at Yuki's reply.
"It's decided. Sorry we haven't met before." Inuzuka improved his posture standing straight.
"Inuzuka Shinichi grade 1-3 oukami koukou ace candidate, yoroshiku onegaishimasu." Inuzuka said as she bowed her body.
Kohai (Junior) turns out, Inner Yuki.
"Hachibara Yuki 2-1, yoroshiku ne Inuzuka kun (greetings yes)." Inuzuka retreated one step her eyes widened, the corner of her lips twitching. The expression that always made Yuki want to laugh.
"Se se senpai ?!." Excited surprised.
"For doushita? (Yes, why?)." Ask Yuki.
"I thought we were a force." Sluggishly.
"Sorry to disappoint you." Inuzuka immediately heard Yuki apologizing for her hand moving in front of Yuki.
"No no no, it's not senpai's fault, I should have apologized for being disrespectful." Inuzuka said in a panicked tone of voice. Yuki couldn't help it anymore, her laughing voice broke.
"Aahaha." Inuzuka was silent for a moment hearing Yuki's voice.
"You're not polite." Yuki's voice interrupted his laughter.
"Ehehe." Inuzuka laughed awkwardly while scratching the back of his head.
THE PLAQUE!.
A hand landed hard on Inuzuka's shoulder making the man speechless for a moment.
"It seems you should be taught a lesson." Look at someone from behind Inuzuka. Yuki slowly stopped her laughter staring at the man behind Inuzuka who looked familiar.
"I'm sorry, this stupid kohai has to get back to the team right away." Hirogane said one of Yuki's classmates while forcefully pulling Inuzuka's shoulder.
"What?! senpai said I was stupid?." Inuzuka looked at Hirogane.
"Whisper, let's hurry." Hirogane draped his arm around Inuzuka's neck dragging him away.
"You said it, you said it." Inuzuka is still protesting.
"Ba-ka (Bo-doh)." Hirogane was louder next to Inuzuka's ear.
"City ... Senpai, itta eyes! (Sepent ... You, say it again!)." Inuzuka did not accept it.
"See you ...!." Shouted Inuzuka from within the field waving her hands to Yuki, Yuki smiled slightly replying to Inuzuka's wave of getting the man a kick at ****** and a blow to the head by his seniors.
"Junior belagu!." Senior 1.
"How dare you seduce a woman." Grumpy senior 2.
"It's tired of your life huh!." Shouted senior 3.
"What wrong! what mistake?. I'm not seducing her." Inuzuka defended herself.
"Omong empty." Another senior.
"You don't think we saw him!."
"When for almost three years I've been stuck in baseball, I couldn't get close to women." Another senior chirps.
"I am too." The other law.
"Either."
"And how dare you show off your closeness to us huh!." Shouted senior 3.
"You trying to heat us up?." Hajime calmly chimed in on his friends.
Yuki who watched from outside the field felt sorry for Inuzuka, he was also a little surprised by the behavior of the group of club members.
"Yuki's." Call Mizutani.
"Give me more time to decide." Yuki Pinta.
"Until Friday tomorrow, you should have filled out the form." Firmly Mizutani, Yuki bowed as a thank you.
***
Like yesterday morning, Yuki was warming up in front of the house glancing at the house next door. Did Keiji not jog early in the morning before the game?, Inner Yuki started running small.
Near the public park he visited yesterday was a vending machine, the girl intended to buy a drink and rest for a while. Yuki reached into his pocket to take out his wallet, he hesitated a little. Slowly remove the black card, the only thing in the wallet.
"What can I do with this thing here?." Mumbled Yuki.
"I should try it, these aren't the street-side vendors in Hongdae."
Yuki stuck his card at the machine's place of payment and pressed the drink button he wanted, but to no avail.
"Not useful." Yuki pursed her lips in annoyance.
The girl turned around running back home, as she was close to her house Yuki saw Masamune carrying two large bags in each hand.
"San's time, where are you going?." Tanya Yuki approached Masamune.
"Today's the garbage schedule, I almost forgot." Answer Masamune.
"Where do you collect it?." Yuki took one of the bags from Masamune's hand.
"At the end of it." Masamune pointed to a large litter box made of iron nets at the end of the alley.
The two of them walked side by side without saying a word until Yuki saw the vending machine at the end of the alley.
"Mm, Masa san." Call Yuki after they put the trash bag in the garbage box.
"Nani? (What?)." Ask Masamune.
"I'm sorry can I ask you something?." Yuki glanced at Masamune who was staring at him.
"certain." Answer Masamune.
"Buy me, that." Yuki pointed at the red machine.
"I tried to buy it but I couldn't." Yuki.
"Can't?." Masamune's birthday, Yuki took out his wallet.
"I don't think I need this thing." Yuki opened his wallet wide revealing its contents.
"Yu ki, you're kidding, right?." Masamune stared in disbelief at the girl in front of him.
"It's free to have these three things if you can't buy something." Murmured Yuki approached the machine then pointed at the drink he wanted.
"Thank you Masa and I want to run again." Yuki said after getting the drink he wanted and then ran back to leave Masamune.
"Did he never go to the cafeteria?." Lirih Masamune stared at Yuki's back which was getting further away.
