"Indoor baseball field."
"baseball?"
"Yeah, I want to vent. If hitting someone isn't an option, I can always play ball."
Although I knew that the girls would handle the matter, it was impossible not to feel angry after being scolded by Tomoya Aki by name.
"If you're angry, you have to let it out. Otherwise, your thoughts won't flow and you'll end up hurting yourself. I'm sure the students who went overseas are feeling depressed too."
Namijima Izumi nodded, his good mood had been completely ruined by what happened on the summer festival stage.
"I need to vent some of my emotions too, whoosh—" Pojima went out to sea and swung his club, even adding his own swinging sounds.
"Then let's vent together!"
There were not many people at the indoor baseball field. It seemed that everyone was attracted by the summer festival, and Bai Ye easily rented a quiet and empty seat.
"Two hours, two sets of equipment, thank you."
"Okay, guest."
Hashima went out to sea carrying a smaller wooden baseball bat and looked up at Bai Ye who had a baseball bat on his shoulder. The latter looked relaxed, as if he had returned home.
"Does Senior often play baseball? He seems very skilled. I don't think I've ever seen him play since I met him. I don't see a baseball bat in his house."
"It's normal that you haven't seen it. I've played baseball only a few times in the past six months, and I haven't mentioned it to anyone. Six months ago, I played a lot, almost every week."
"Why did you suddenly stop fighting?"
"Because I'm so busy now. There are so many girls who need my care, and I have to take care of the business. However, the pressure is much less than before. Before, I had to kowtow to develop the market and was often looked down upon. If I didn't play baseball, I really couldn't let off steam."
Podao Chuhai felt the same way. When she first started learning to paint by copying others, she suffered a lot of ridicule and misunderstanding, but fortunately she persisted.
"I understand... Oh! Now we're at the venue, Senior. How do we play this?"
Podao went out to sea, looking around, and swung the bat while standing on the base, looking like a curious baby.
"Press here." Bai Ye pointed to the button next to the bench. "Press this, and the pitching machine will automatically throw the ball. Then just swing as hard as you can! Sit here and rest when you're tired. There's a protective net so you don't have to worry about being hit by the ball."
"oh oh!"
Standing at the batting position, Izumi Hasemoto swung his bat enthusiastically, vowing to vent out his frustration.
"Senior, turn on the phone!"
Bai Ye didn't press the button, but looked suspicious.
"Have you ever played baseball?"
Bodao Chuhai looked dissatisfied.
"I haven't played baseball before. Senior, you look down on me. Even if you haven't eaten meat, you've seen pigs run. Even if you haven't played baseball, you've seen baseball games!"
white night"……"
He didn't want to spoil his mood for going out to sea, but baseball was not as easy as it seemed.
"Playing baseball is a strenuous exercise. If you don't rest, be careful not to twist your waist. If your brother comes looking for me, I won't be able to explain myself."
"It will not!"
Bai Ye ignored her stubbornness and stood up and walked to her side.
"Get a feel for the speed of the ball first, don't be scared."
"No, I saw it on TV!"
Just as he finished speaking, a baseball whizzed past, freezing the smile of Shimoda Island as she went out to sea, and also picked up a few strands of her hair.
“Why is it so fast (⊙o⊙)!”
"That's what I told you." Bai Ye moved the stunned girl away from the batting position, rolled his shoulders and twisted his waist, "First, do some warm-up exercises. Chu Hai classmate was very enthusiastic along the way, so we did it. Then we stand aside and watch the veterans play."
"I want to play!" Bodao Chuhai chopped his feet in dissatisfaction.
"There will be a chance."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Ye swung the bat and hit the ball away. His movements were smooth and without any delay.
Then the second... the third... the bat never missed, and every ball hit the scoreboard accurately.
"I'm a little rusty, otherwise a home run would be a piece of cake."
"Tsk, the senior is only concerned with showing off and calling himself a gentleman, but he doesn't care about the junior's feelings at all."
"I'll treat you to a game of ball, okay..."
Seeing that Boshima Chuhai was forced into a vicious state by him, Bai Ye couldn't help but laugh, and at the same time gave her the batting position.
Bodao went out to sea and found the batting position with a smile.
"Senior, please open the ball quickly. I'm used to the speed of the ball!"
"Let me teach you the posture first. If you really hurt your waist, I will have to take care of you for the rest of your life."
"Senior, wouldn't you be willing to take care of a beautiful girl like me?" Hamado Izumi puffed his cheeks.
Bai Ye smiled but did not respond.
Even if you respond and express your willingness to deepen your feelings, it is impossible to get the other person to agree to a relationship, and it will instead make you lose their favor.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Bo Dao's outing to the sea was just a joke to vent. Most people prefer to make bigger jokes when they are in a bad mood, and get more relief from the astonishment of others.
"Even if you're a stunningly beautiful girl when we go out to sea, I don't want to be hacked to death and divided. Shiyu said she'd bury you in the yard, Eriri said she'd sink you into Tokyo Bay, and Xiaohui might even take you to the rooftop to offer you as a sacrifice."
"Ah... it's like déjà vu again, a bad ending with a harem." Hamado Izumi added.
"You're walking on thin ice. You don't know which will come first, a harmonious harem or a tragic Shura field."
While making meaningless jokes, Bai Ye put the baseball helmet on her head.
"The first rule of playing basketball is to wear the right equipment. Once you get shot in the head, you'll remember it."
"Knowing it was his first time playing basketball, it was my senior's fault for not protecting me when I got shot in the head!"
Bai Ye sighed that the girls he liked were all very articulate and could reveal their dark side as soon as they opened their mouths.
"Hmm...I can't tie the straps, Izumi-san, your bun."
When Bai Ye mentioned the bun hairstyle, Hasuma Chuhai suddenly came to his senses.
The “surprise” I promised to give to Senior Bai Ye a few days ago has not yet been given.
"Senior."
"what happened?"
Hamada took off his hat and stopped his hand on Maruko's head.
She recalled what happened on the summer festival stage, and then she remembered meeting Senior Aki while shopping with Senior Bai Ye in the mall a few days ago, and her playful mood suddenly dropped.
However, promises made must be fulfilled.
She undid her bun, revealing her beautiful rose-red hair that flowed down like a waterfall, showcasing her girlish charm.
She took out a small comb from her bag, combed her hair straight with a few strokes, and then tied her hair up with her small hands like a flower.
"Qiangqiang——The twin-tail hairstyle for going out to sea, I promised to give Senior Bai Ye a surprise, very cute~~"
Bai Ye's eyes lit up.
The bun hairstyle is to tie two ponytails on the top of the head and roll them into a ball, but now, Hamashima Chukai has moved the two ponytails to the bottom.
Compared with the youthful beauty of the bun, the low-tied twin ponytails appear gentle and steady. Although Boshima is still young when she goes to sea, it does not seem abrupt at all at this moment.
"Very cute, tactful, steady and mature. I suddenly feel that Chu Hai classmate has grown up."
Bai Ye took out his cell phone and pretended to take a photo.
"As a souvenir?"
Chapter 590 Would you like some keys today?
"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Kasumi Shiko."
The sun high above her head had already set below her eyebrows. Shiyu stopped responding to the fans' enthusiastic waves, turned around and bowed.
"Thank you for your hard work, Editor Machida."
Today's book signing was a modest success, but the seemingly endless line that stretched from noon to dusk spoke volumes. And if that weren't enough, the fact that her supervisor, during his inspection, caught her watching the Summer Festival livestream without saying a word further underscored Kasumi Shiko's importance to the Fuzugawa Bunko community.
"Everything is over--" Shiyu stretched, smiled and waved to the cheering fans, and then went backstage with Machida Sonoko.
Along the way, many light novel writers came to say hello, either intentionally or by chance, and Shiyu greeted and thanked them one by one.
"Teacher Kasumi Shiko, do you want to join us for the celebration party?"
"Thank you for the invitation, but I still can't."
"Oh? Are you planning to celebrate with your boyfriend?"
"You guessed it right. He's already waiting for me. Let's talk when we have time."
Machida Sonoko watched this scene with satisfaction and sighed:
"Teacher Kasumi Shiko has really become popular and is much more cheerful than she was a year ago."
"Editor Machida, I've simply broadened my horizons and figured out what I truly want. I'd be troubled if I were too popular."
Shi Yu has not forgotten who brought the glory before her. Although there is no need to be too indifferent to material things or sad about oneself, she and Xiao Baijun have been entangled for a lifetime.
"Editor Machida, I'm leaving. Xiaobai-kun is really waiting for me to come home for dinner. This is not an excuse."
"Yes, yes...Teacher, you are considered a beautiful woman. But please don't mention Mr. Xiao all the time. I don't know when I will lose control of my fists."
"Hahaha~(?ω?)~, did I really keep talking about Xiaobai-kun all day long?"
Machidaenko "..."
Before the other party attacked, Shiyu hurried away, feeling much better after a busy day.
It was certain that she would go to Bai Ye's house to attend the celebration party, but not immediately. She had to go somewhere now.
Turning the corner, the first thing that caught my eye was a pile of white fabric scraps, and I couldn't tell what they originally looked like.
Shiyu stopped for a few seconds, her expression unchanged, as if she was looking at garbage, and then turned her head away.
"Let me see... the license plate number is... ah! Found it."
kou——kou——
She knocked on the car window, and the window dropped down, revealing Kato Megumi and Eriri inside. Hyodo Michiru had already left.
Kato Megumi's face showed no sadness or joy, as if she hadn't noticed the mess on the ground not far away. She smiled at Shiyu and said:
"Kasumigaoka-senpai, is the book signing over?"
"It's over. I'm so tired. My hands are so sore that I can't lift them anymore."
"Aren't you still holding a cup of coffee in Kasumigaoka?" Eriri leaned over and asked.
"My right hand is tired, not my left. It seems that Eriri-san is in a good mood. She picked on me right away."
"Humph--"
Shiyu ignored her for the time being and bowed respectfully to Sayuri Sawamura who was sitting in the driver's seat.
"Auntie, thank you very much for your help today. I should say I am very grateful for your support all the time."
Sayuri Sawamura opened her fan, and a cool breeze blew away the heat that Shiyu had felt along the way.
"That's the only thing that sets Shiyu apart from Xiaojun: they're too distant. Perhaps it's because they share similar interests that they're a perfect match?"
"Sorry for making fun of me, Aunt." Shiyu didn't care about the other party's teasing.
No matter how familiar you are with someone, understanding and etiquette are always the basis of mutual respect.
She turned around and saw Eriri staring at her fiercely, as if she was going to pounce on her and bite her at any second.
"What's wrong, Eriri-san?"
"You don't want to thank me? You're happily signing autographs while I'm suffering on stage. Kasumigaoka, you're discriminating!"
Shiyu's face suddenly turned black.
"Then I'll trade with you next time? You'll also have the chance to spend an afternoon smiling at fans and signing "Kashiwagi Eri" for an afternoon. Just thinking about it makes me happy~~"
Ying Lili shuddered when she thought of that scene.
