In order to prepare for the Koshien main game, after the summer vacation on July 20, Noki Suzuki gathered the members of the baseball club to start a training camp for more than half a month, and finally strengthened his combat power, and then took everyone to Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture, Kansai Province early in the morning of August 8, and stayed in a small inn in the airway town, next to Koshien Town, which is very close to Koshien Stadium.
The opening ceremony was scheduled for August 10, and there was a rehearsal on the 9th, but on the 8th, there was no leisure, and it was necessary to go through various formalities, participate in the meetings held by the organizing committee, and most importantly, conduct a group draw.
The first draw will only draw the first three rounds, and it will be drawn again in the quarterfinals, and the first round has the opportunity to draw a bye, but the supervising teacher Suzuki Hanako's hand is more stinky, and he didn't draw it, and the private Daifuku can only be beaten round by round.
That's not the worst thing, the worst thing is that their first match is scheduled to be the opening match, which is probably the reason why Yukiri has paid more attention.
The organizing committee let the girls in, so naturally they should make good use of the heat of this topic and strive to make the ratings hit a new high.
The draw was smashed, and everyone was disappointed and nervous, originally thinking that it would be their turn to play on the 11th, but they didn't expect to play on the 10th You can't just go home on the day of the game The next step is to deal with the interview team designated by the organizers, which will be used as material in the TV program, Suzuki Noki feels a little annoyed, but the members of the first army who participated in the competition are very excited, and each film crew is very warm when they come, but they are very shy when they answer, showing the true colors of young people.
After a busy day on the eight,No. 9 everyone went to the Koshien Stadium to participate in the rehearsal at the agreed time.,The main thing is that the private Daifuku School Park is the first time to participate.,The main method is a little uneasy.,I'm afraid they made some jokes during the live broadcast.,So I made a special request.。
Most of the people in this group went with a pilgrimage mentality, and the expressions on their faces were very excited, after all, Koshien is almost 100 years old, and the name itself represents the word baseball in Japan, and it is also the largest baseball stadium in Japan, and it is also the home of the famous football group Hanshin Tigers.
Kitahara Shuji doesn't have this kind of pilgrimage mentality, but I'm quite curious, but at first glance, I was disappointed, why was it so broken Koshien Stadium looks really broken and tacky, with "Hanshin Koshien Stadium" written in large white letters on the emerald green background, if it is not big enough, it is the style of a small supermarket on the streets of China, and the gray curved walls are crawling with ivy, which is a bit eerie at night, and what is even worse is that there are several sections of scaffolding on the outer wall that have not been dismantled, which seem to have just been repaired.
It's disappointing, and it feels like it's not up to the name.
Noki Suzuki noticed his gaze and explained to him with a smile: "Koshien will be renovated in the next two years, and it will be transformed into a modern stadium, and it will look good in the future." ” Kitahara Shuji nodded, I feel that it is really time to renovate, it is almost a hundred years old, it can really be regarded as an antique, no wonder it looks so shabby.
He was disappointed, but others were tempted to pay tribute, after all, there are only a handful of millions of college students who can play here, and the 30 million to 40 million viewers across the country will watch them play on television, which makes people adrenaline rush to think about it.
Uchida Oma trembled a little uncontrollably, looked at Koshien and muttered, "Is this the 381 ivy trees in Koshien?"
"It's supposed to be, it's better than I imagined."
"Let's take a picture" "Take a group photo, you may not have a chance tomorrow" This group of people began to prepare a group photo in front of the stadium as if they were traveling, and they were obviously very weak in their words, and they were not very confident in winning the game tomorrow. ” She drove the gang into the stadium, and then walked through the process of the opening ceremony under the leadership of the staff, although there was no one in the audience, many members of the First Army were still trembling with excitement as they walked around the paddock.
Collectively, they felt like their dreams had come true.
After a rough walk-through of the process, Noki Suzuki announced the disbandment, and now they don't have a place to practice, and tactics and the like have been said during the training camp, so it's better to let everyone relax.
This was the last moment of relaxation before the game, and everyone immediately dispersed and went to play together.
Of course, Koshien Stadium can't be left alone, and it also has outbuildings such as the Hanshin Tiger Ball Troupe Office, the Hanshin Tiger Historical Monument, the Ball Cheer Shop, and the Suchan Ming Shrine.
Because Naokaka Yamane wanted Kitahara Shuji to give priority to the Hanshin Tiger in the future, they didn't have a good impression of the Hanshin Tiger Ball Group, so they were naturally not interested in visiting everything related to the Hanshin Tiger, so they went to the shrine to hang out.
Kitahara Shuji looked along the road and noticed that the logo color of Koshien Stadium was probably green, and most of the places that could be painted here were painted green.
This is different from what he expected, the people around him have always been high school students, and Koshien represents youth and enthusiasm in their mouths, so he always thought that Koshien should be a red court, but now it looks like it's not like that at all, it's just green to the end They left the locker room passage and turned to the main passage, where they couldn't walk in the snow, staring at the charcoal-grilled squid to eat.
Kitahara Shuji looked at the black glow of the grill and felt unhygienic, but this is a traditional snack at Koshien Stadium, and he may not be able to buy it in the future, so he still paid for it for Yukiri.
He bought ten skewers for Yukiri, and Suzuki Noki also stretched out his hand with a smile, and he was speechless for a while, and asked, "Don't you have 200 yen?"
Noki Suzuki was straightforward: "How can a person of my status bring change." ” She's farting, but Kitahara Shuji doesn't care about her, and buys her a bunch too, but she doesn't eat it in her hand.
Kitahara Shuji is even more strange, "I don't want to eat again" Noki Suzuki smiled and replied, "Squid 90 is fat, I can't eat this." ” "Then what are you going to do here" Kitahara Shuji really can't stand this neurosis.
"If there is something in the snow, I should have it, can't I look good with it?"
Whatever you want, Kitahara Shuji left her alone, and the little squid didn't stay in Suzuki Noshi's hands for long, and after Yukiri ate his own, he tricked the skewer into eating it.
The group made their way to Suchanaki Shrine, a place where the Hanshin Tigers and the high school teams participating in the Koshien Tournament pray for good luck and victory, and because it is on the side of the Koshien Stadium, there are many tourists here, and the incense is obviously very popular.
Even if the gods open a store, they must pay attention to the location of the location, which can be seen.
Su Zhan Ming, also known as Su Hu Woo, is one of the three main gods in Japanese mythology, Amaterasu's younger brother, ugly and powerful, that is, the guy who hacked the Yaki Snake to death in order to find a girlfriend and took out the Tiancong Cloud Sword from the Yaqi Snake Chrysanthemum is not a serious person, and has done something to pull Xiang on Amaterasu's head.
It's really pulling And this unscrupulous god is also called the man of the construction of Susa, referred to as Susanoo, and Susa means furious, in charge of the storm and destruction in the priesthood, the territory is in the sea plain, it is considered that the Japanese sea god put it on the Koshien Stadium, probably refers to the attack like a storm and directly "destroys" the opponent, which is considered the god of victory.
Suzuki Noki entered the worship hall, pulled the bell and clapped his hands in sincere prayer, and then motioned for Kitahara Shuji to put money into the money box.
A little money Kitahara Xiuji didn't care, casually popped out a coin, accurately fell into the money box, and looked at the snow, and also gave her a five-yen coin, so Xueli happily also went to pray for "Wuyun Changlong" Xueli is really no money, she is still insisting on buying lottery tickets, what she recognized will never change, and she is counting on buying lottery tickets to make a fortune.
Kitahara Shuji didn't believe this, and didn't go to join in the fun, and Yukiri stood there with her head bowed and began to ask the gods for five yen she had to spend a lot of money, and Kitahara Shuji looked at Suzuki Noki and asked with a low smile, "You also believe this" It doesn't feel like ah, but Suzuki is still quite independent and self-reliant, and it's unlikely that he will pin his hopes on gods and ghosts.
Only those who are not strong in their hearts believe in these things Noki Suzuki glanced at him with a smile: "I'm an agnostic, I don't have to make an effort to ask for it, it doesn't matter if it works, I don't have anything to lose anyway." ” It's really practical, Kitahara Shuji couldn't help but sigh: "It's still you" Noki Suzuki smiled like a flower, like a little fox, and said happily: "Of course, the immortal has been gnawed so long ago that there are no bones left." ” The group spent an hour at Koshien Stadium before Suzuki gathered everyone and took them back to the hotel, where they were strictly forbidden to go out.
The next day, the sky was clear and the temperature was extremely high, and this year it was a very hot year in Japan, and it was very hot early in the morning, and the 90th Koshien Baseball Tournament kicked off.
The more than 50,000 seats in Koshien are full of people, and most of them are fanning the wind with small fans, which shows that the current temperature is almost a hundred years old course, and it is not as good as the Okazaki Civic Stadium, which is completely open-air, and no one can run away under the sun.
It will probably be better when the renovation is completed, but it will take another year, mainly because the competition cannot be stopped, and it can only be repaired for two days and rested for two days, and the progress is extremely slow.
It was hot outside, and the tunnel below the crowd was even hotter, but everyone was waiting.
After the opening remarks, the opening ceremony officially began, the best players of the last summer league as the lead, the first out of the player tunnel, followed by five girls in white hats, white shirts and long black skirts, these five girls are all selected from the city of Nishinomiya college girls, out of the passage to unfold the banner of the Koshien game, began to parade around the field by ABC TV live broadcast.
It was followed by the winning school flags of the past dynasties, which were also held by female college students in Xigong City, and nearly 100 flags of various colors fluttered, and after these girls left, the winning team of last year's Xia Jia appeared, and suddenly there was a warm applause in the audience.
"Kitahara, are you nervous" The sweat on Uchida's face couldn't stop at all, watching the line in front of him getting shorter and shorter, it was obvious that Suzuki was not here, she was in the audience, and at present, it was tacitly assumed that Kitahara Shuji had the final say, and he could only seek comfort from Kitahara Shuji.
Kitahara Shuji has an unlucky feeling of holding a white flag in his hand.,But there's no way.,The school flag of the private Daifuku School Park is white.,The word "eighty-eight" is written on it in pink.,It looks particularly funny.。
But it's okay, fortunately I didn't write the word "Daifuku", otherwise the national audience would think that they were here to sell dim sum.

He turned his head and comforted: "Don't worry, don't be nervous, no one will pay attention to you." ” They were first-time entrants, with few supporters, and Yukiri was clearly more eye-catching, and Uchida's sandwiched between the crowds was likely to leave no impression on the audience.
Uchida was speechless, he wanted everyone to see him, but he was afraid that everyone would look at him, a very conflicting feeling.
They chatted for a few words.,At this time, the girl holding the "Private Daifuku School" sign in front of Kitahara Shuji turned around and reminded: "Ladies and gentlemen,It's time to get ready to play."
Kitahara Shuji and the others were originally moving forward while talking, but Kitahara Shuji looked and found that it was not far from the exit, so he quickly raised his hand to signal quietness, and then smiled at the guide: "We are ready." ” The girl's face flushed, this kid is so handsome She didn't dare to look at it.,Quickly turned around and moved two steps forward.,And with the people in front of you going out one by one,It's finally the turn of the private Daifuku School Park.。
She took a deep breath, held the sign and walked out of the passage, and then Kitahara Shuji shook the school flag, followed behind her after a few steps, and as soon as she got out of the passage, there was a burst of dazzling sunlight, and then she heard the sweet announcer introduction: "Aichi Prefecture Private Daifuku School Park, the first competition":
