Arata's full schedule for the day is recorded in his notebook. He leaves home at 7 a.m. and arrives at school at 8 a.m. On the way, he can review Japanese history or world history in the car. In the morning, he reviews subjects such as biology and mathematics, and in the afternoon

It's an activity for the wild ball club. After I get home in the evening, I have to review Chinese and foreign languages! As for the time to sleep, it's not listed on the form.

"Give it back to me! It's none of your business!"

"But your body won't be able to bear it!"

"I'm okay! Can't you see that I'm very lively now?"

…

After Arata finished speaking, she casually made a swing gesture as if she was deliberately showing off to Kato Aya. Unfortunately, all this could not be hidden from Kato Aya's eyes, because she has been the team manager for three years. This kind of

Nothing can be hidden from him!

…

In this way, in order not to worry his teammates, Arata could only temporarily give up studying and have fun with his teammates. Maybe it was because everyone had not been as indulgent as today for a long time, and everyone played until very late.

The next day, Kato Aya, who had already set his sights on Arata, came to the court again to check on Arata's training. Not surprisingly, the team's former ace golfer was in bad shape again, and his shots were a little poor.

No strength at all.

"Be careful, the competition is about to begin!"

"I'm so sorry!"

Seeing Director Ushijima shaking his head and walking away from Arata, Aya Kato couldn't help but sigh, and then trotted to Director Ushijima's side.

"Supervisor, there is something I need to talk to you about! Can you take up a moment of your time?"

"Hey, Kato-san, what's going on!"

"Well, you'd better come with me first!"

Kato Aya saw Arata paying attention here, and couldn't help but feel a shadow in her heart.

"This Kato Aya is really nosy!"

Arata was practicing pitching while paying attention to Kato Aya's movements. After Kato Aya whispered a few words into Ushijima's ear, Supervisor Ushijima actually looked at him.

…

A few minutes later, when Director Ushijima and Kato Aya ended their conversation, Arata saw Kato Aya trotting up to him, and then said:

"Director Ushijima said that he has something to discuss with you!"

"What on earth are you going to do?"

Arata couldn't help but asked with some dissatisfaction upon seeing this.

You’ll know when you go!

Ignoring Arata's angry look, Kato Aya just pulled him and ran towards the locker room.

"Supervisor, Arata is here!"

Kato Aya panted and dragged Arata into the room, and then closed the door of the room.

"senior!"

"Arata!"

Ushijima stood up, then walked around the table and came to Arata. Then he looked him up and down.

"We have known each other for so long, you think I should be a trustworthy person!"

"senior?"

Hearing Ushijima's words, Arata felt a little strange, and at the same time there was a hint of ominousness in his heart.

"What a pity! You are such an excellent pitcher but you don't want to become a professional player! However, I still want to bless you. No matter what path you choose, I am happy for you!"

"senior!"

"Let's go! Starting from tomorrow, you don't have to participate in training anymore!"

"Why?"

"Because I want to leave more opportunities to those players who want to become professional players. I'm sorry! I can't continue to be selfish. Although I really want to lead the team to win the championship this year, but... I can't use it.

This is the reason to confine your dreams!"

Ushijima-senpai looked at Arata who looked surprised and puzzled, but he said quite proudly:

"Just go and prepare for the university entrance exam with peace of mind! You have already won the Koshien championship, and the field ball club can't rely on you all the time! If you still love field ball in the future, I hope you can compete in the six major field games in Tokyo.

Come on, see you!"

Only then did Arata finally understand the good intentions of Director Ushijima.

"Actually, ever since he decided to enroll in college! Arata's will can no longer be focused on field football. No matter how much he compresses his rest time, he will never be able to take into account the field team's training and the college entrance exam at the same time. However,

He has always been the team’s main pitcher, but he doesn’t know how to say this to Director Ushijima!”

When Arata walked out of the locker room, Ushijima worried everyone and announced that Arata-chan would no longer participate in the training of the field team.

"What, Arata was kicked off the field team?"

"How can this be done!"

…

"Everyone, please be quiet! Listen to me first!"

After hearing what Director Ushijima said, the chatter in the locker room finally calmed down.

"Everyone, Xintai now has more important things to deal with, and our field team is about to face the problem of replacing the old with the new. Therefore, I want to give more support to the lower-grade players in this Summer League.

So many opportunities!”

"Ono!"

"Hey!"

"You are about to become a professional player. This time in Koshien, you must show your skills better and strive for more victories!"

"clear!"

"Yoji, from this moment on, you will take over the position of the team's first pitcher from Furuta-kun! I hope you will not disgrace the glory that this position once brought."

"Hey! I will definitely work hard!"

As a substitute pitcher, Yoji Kawada heard what Director Ushijima said, and he quickly stood up and saluted Arata solemnly.

…

In this way, Arata said goodbye to his former teammates with mixed emotions. However, although he no longer had to participate in the field football club's games and training, he was still an integral part of this team.

"Everyone, I have one more thing to announce. I may no longer be able to continue my duties as the manager of the travel and sports department!"

"Acai!"

Just when everyone had yet to recover from the shock, Aya Kato, the manager of the field team, suddenly announced another shocking news.

"Takeda-san will gradually take over my work in the field football club starting tomorrow. I am very grateful that everyone can always support me and tolerate my willfulness and bad temper!"

Suddenly Kato Aya was called in front of her. The girl named Takeda looked at everyone timidly.

"Okay, I will complete the formal withdrawal procedures after Koshien is over. I think we can continue to get along for a few more months. Don't think about being lazy. Although I am not the manager of the field team now, if anyone dares to relax,

I must make him look good!"
