Chapter 199 New friends met at the opening ceremony
"ah……"
As the early morning sunlight shone on the bedside, Arata rubbed his eyes and gradually woke up from his sleep.
"surprise!"
Hearing Ono excitedly throw himself on his bed, the startled Arata accidentally rolled off the bed. Then, he struggled to get up and asked somewhat unhappily:
"What are you doing! You're not letting anyone sleep anymore!"
"Sleeping? You don't even know what time it is. If you go to sleep again, you will miss the opening ceremony!"
…
"ah……"
Hearing Ono's reminder, Arata noticed the time on the wall, and then hurriedly ran to the bathroom.
"I brought you bread and chocolate milk. You can eat them on the road later. Koshien, here we are..."
…
Just yesterday afternoon, Arata and his teammates took a plane to Osaka. After a night's rest, everyone will represent Nishi Tokyo at the opening ceremony of Koshien today.
When Arata ran downstairs wearing the team's uniform, Kato Aya asked him speechlessly when she saw him:
"You guy, what did you do last night?"
"Ah, I'm sorry! I was chatting with Sanji about some work matters last night..."
"Okay, hurry up and get in the car! The organizing committee has proposed that you and the support manager will host the kick-off ceremony later!"
"Ah...hey!"
As the team bus left the hotel, everyone could not help but sing the school song excitedly. Amid the laughter and laughter along the way, the team finally arrived at the dream place of all Japanese universities, the home of the Hanshin Tigers, Hanshin Koshi
Garden court.
…
After everyone got off the bus, Kato Aya went to communicate with the organizer about entering the venue. Soon everyone lined up, picked up the Nishi Tokyo contestant's winning flag and entered the main venue.
A total of 49 teams participated in this year's Koshien. As the opening ceremony approached, the stadium was already filled with players from all prefectures. Arata felt the soil under his feet with some novelty, and his heart suddenly rose.
An unreal feeling.
"It turns out that I really came to Koshien!"
…
Before the opening ceremony officially started, Arata was invited to the lounge of the stadium, because as a player representative, he would soon make an oath of fair play and interact with the support manager to kick off the ball.
"First time we meet, I'm the support manager Horikita Yuki!"
"First time meeting you, I'm Arata Furuta, nice to meet you!"
Seeing a somewhat strange girl greeting him warmly, Arata quickly responded politely. However, after greeting each other, the other girl always had a shy smile on her face, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"that……"
"Um?"
"Furuta-san!"
"Hi?"
“Boar Makeover looks forward to working with you!”
""Wild Boar"? Wait a minute...you..."
"I have confirmed that I will appear in this drama. Please take care of me in the future!"
"Ah... I'm so... I'm so sorry... I seem to have completely forgotten. No wonder... no wonder..."
Seeing Arata's look of sudden realization, Yuki couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. Although she was wearing a JK uniform, under her smile, her already beautiful eyes turned into crescent moons, making her look particularly quiet and elegant.
"Speaking of which, you may not believe it. I haven't read the script yet. The wild boar or something, it should be an animal-related drama!"
"Ha...no, that's not the case at all..."
"What is that? I still don't understand why the school play has such a strange name!"
"Actually, the wild boar is me!"
"Eh?"
"It's actually the nickname of the character I play! So I am the wild boar..."
"Wild boar...there is such a cute wild boar...the screenwriter's imagination is really..."
"Actually, I also want to complain about the screenwriter... it's so embarrassing..."
"Hahaha……"
The two chatted, but they laughed out loud in unison. It wasn't until the people around them looked at them that the two restrained themselves.
"It seems that we were able to talk surprisingly well!"
Arata commented on Yuki secretly in his mind. But before he could find a chance to exchange contact information with the other party, the organizer urged the support manager to appear.
…
As Yuki appeared on the court, there was a burst of cheers. After a burst of singing, Arata slowly walked to the exit and began to look at the girl he had just met who was performing in the middle of the court.
"Ah...it seems to be the girl who starred in "Cell Phone Crime" last year! I never expected that we are all so destined!"
After the singing on the field ended, Arata walked up to the podium as the player representative and read out the oath of fair play to all the players. After the oath-taking ceremony, Yuki took the wild ball and walked onto the pitcher's mound.
With the audience watching, he threw the ball into Arata Furuta's hands.
Seeing a beautiful woman in a JK uniform throwing the ball with all her strength in the distance, Arata couldn't help but sigh:
"Is it any wonder that famous female players are invited to tee off in professional leagues? In fact, girls are quite cute when it comes to pitching."
After the kick-off ceremony was over, it was the entrance ceremony for the 49 teams. Arata didn't care to say anything else to Yuki, so he could only return to his own team and then perform the circling ceremony in the order of appearance.
"Forty-nine teams! I really hope we can meet a weaker team in the first game!"
Seeing the familiar college teams appear in front of him, Aqian couldn't help but say something with emotion. In fact, although everyone has obtained the right to play, because the selection is conducted on a county basis, so
In fact, the real strength varies greatly
, for example, the teams in the Tohoku region have never won a championship since the establishment of Koshien. On the other hand, some teams in Osaka have dominated both the Spring League and the Summer League more than once. Therefore, the next step is to
The lottery ceremony held became particularly important.
Maybe it’s because they are worried about the physical discomfort caused by the scorching sun! The opening ceremony of Koshien ended with a short speech after the circling ceremony. The contestants were picked up by the organizer at the Koshien Hotel not far from here.
, and after lunch, we waited for the afternoon lottery ceremony.
"Santa, what are you looking at?"
After lunch, Aqian came to see Arata, but unexpectedly found that Arata was watching videos of girls dancing on his mobile phone, so he asked out of curiosity!
"Ah... I'm watching a mixed version of "Cell Phone Crime", starring the support manager just now..."
"Hey...you don't have a crush on me, do you?"
"No, I'm just curious about my future work partner and want to know more about it in advance! Ah... so awesome. I didn't expect that he has also acted in horror movies..."
"Suddenly she was startled by the terrifying picture on her phone, and the new wife couldn't help but tremble."
"What horror movie?"
