"I'm back!"

"Welcome back! Arata...why are you back in your field ball training clothes?"

When he heard that Arata had finally returned home, Ryoko ran outside immediately, but when he saw Arata, he found that he was actually wearing a field ball training uniform.

"Yeah, didn't you say you went to the office to take the singing assessment? What's going on with this outfit...?"

Seeing the confused looks on the faces of his mother and Liangzi, Arata immediately said with some embarrassment:

"I'm sorry, it happened so suddenly. I have to take a moment to explain it to you. By the way, I've already eaten out."

When his father, who had been watching TV all the time, heard Arata's words, he couldn't help but turn around and said to his wife and daughter:

"Haha, look at this kid's cheerful face, something good must have happened to him! But why are you wearing the uniform of Waseda University!"

"That's it. Originally, I was sure that I would definitely be kicked out of the company today, but I didn't know that after arriving at the office, Mr. Kanjiya announced that there was a film to hold a casting event for the lead actors, and he selected five people, including me, to meet with Yun Neng.

Mr. Tanakura of the 4th movie. Immediately afterwards, Mr. Tanakura told us that this movie was related to wild ball. When I saw the opportunity, I told them that I could throw a 140-kilometer fastball..."

"Then what? You actually hit 140 kilometers?"

"Haha, I shot a result of 153 kilometers. After the speed test, even I was scared. It's 153 kilometers! This result is almost catching up with professional athletes!"

"153 kilometers? Arata, are you telling the truth?"

Hearing that his son could actually throw a fastball of 153 kilometers, Ichiro stood up from the sofa in shock. Because he knew that this score was almost the average level of MLB.

“It’s incredible!”

"Um...Odou-san, does 153 kilometers mean very fast?"

Junko on the side saw Ichiro's reaction, so she couldn't help but asked curiously.

"Well! Although this result is not considered the top among professional athletes, if it is a 15-year-old boy, it is really amazing to be able to throw such a fast ball. After all, the average ball speed of MLB last season was almost the same.

That’s more than 150 kilometers!”

After hearing his father's introduction, Ryoko couldn't help but persuade Arata:

"That's great, Arata, I say you should just become a professional wildball player! I heard that many wildball celebrities have married beautiful female anchors from TV stations. Ah...those women are all top-notch athletes who graduated from prestigious schools.

What a beautiful woman!”

"Calm down! Calm down! Being a professional field player is really not my goal in life, because once I get injured, I have to retire and work in an ordinary job. I think a non-talented person is more suitable for me, so I have to prepare well for the selection activities next.

Oh! Another thing to say, MLB’s average speed is the result of a combination of various pitching techniques. If you only count fastballs, there are many MLB pitchers who can throw 150 or 160!”

After Arata explained to his family, he turned around and walked towards his room. But before entering the door, Arata suddenly stopped, and then seemed to remember something.

"Ah... that's right! The office is about to pay its salary. I want to use my first income in my life to buy a gift for everyone. Is there anything you want?"

"Really? I want a pair..."

Before Liangzi could finish speaking, Arata immediately interrupted:

"Sorry...the price is limited to items within 20,000 yen..."

"Eh..."

Unlike Ryoko's disappointed sigh, her mother Junko seemed very happy after hearing Arata's words.

"Ah...Thank you so much, Mrs. Sun. If you can, just give me a pair of kitchen scissors!"

"Kitchen scissors? No problem! Where is Odou-san?"

"Ah... there are really a lot of things you want. If it's not too much trouble, please give me a mug. I want to take it to the office to use. It's really meaningful this year!"

"Mug? Then... Liangzi..."

"If you can, please just give me 20,000 yen! I would be very grateful!"

"The most greedy person in the family is indeed Liangzi!"

Hearing Liangzi's words, Arata couldn't help but curse. Then he announced:

"Then with the remaining money, I want to buy myself a computer!"

Yes, the last sentence is Arata's real purpose. After all, it is really inconvenient to always borrow your parents' computer.

…

When Arata came back from the bathroom after taking a bath, as soon as he returned to the room, his cell phone suddenly vibrated. When Arata picked up the phone and looked at it, he realized that the caller was actually Kato Aya.

"Kato-san, it's so late, what can I do?"

"Arata Furuta, why didn't you come to the last training?"

"Um...ah...well, I'm really sorry, I had something to do that day, so..."

"Something's wrong? Don't you know how to ask for leave in advance? I trust you so much. You guy... do you take the field club seriously?"

"Sorry, Kato-san, but I have something to report to you today! Where do you think I went at night?"

"Who knows where you have been? I want you to give me a reasonable explanation! Why didn't you come to training that day!"

“I went to Waseda University’s field ball club and threw a 153-kilometer four-seam fastball!”

"How dare you...uh...what did you say? 153 kilometers?"

"Yes! A senior from Waseda University's field ball club used a speed gun to help me measure a straight ball with a speed of 153 kilometers per hour... I can't believe it..."

"Santa, tell me, you really didn't lie to me!"

"Of course, many people saw it at the time!"

"Arata, do you know what the highest ball speed record is in Koshien?"

"Eh?"

"So far, Koshien's fastest record is only 155 kilometers. If you can really throw such a fast ball, it will definitely become a killer weapon for our college's field ball club! No, I have to think about it. Should I please

Ono-senpai gives up his position as the main pitcher in the field team!"

"Wait a minute, this isn't appropriate!"

"This is indeed a bit too much for Ono-senpai, but... Arata! Even a straight ball with a speed of 153 kilometers per hour is difficult to hit! After all, the distance from the pitcher's mound to the catcher is only about 18 meters.

And if the straight ball is thrown, it is usually a good shot, which is really exciting!”

"It still doesn't work, Kato-kun!"

"Eh... why? I can explain it to Senior Ono..."
