55.Sometimes a sports story isnt so bad.

As the cheers of victory poured out onto the field, I sat up and stared blankly at the ball in my right hand.

I won I caught it and I won didnt I?

I was so self-conscious while I was playing, but when I woke up from my trance, the ball in my hands and the excited voices of the visitors didnt feel real anymore.

Nice work, Nihama-kun!

Good job, you bastards!

That was almost a home run, and you caught it.

Ha-ha-ha! It feels good to win with all this excitement!

The next thing I know, my teammates were gathered all around me, smiling and praising me like a child genuinely happy with a victory.

(Everyone is praising me for being an athletic little shit and for doing well in sports )

Just like at the launch of a cultural festival, I was stunned by everyones words and bathed my whole body in them.

I couldnt believe that I was in the middle of a scene honoring the meritorious after a victory that I only knew from baseball cartoons.

But I just happened to catch the last ball. To tell you the truth, this is the first time Ive worked as a fielder in this game.

Haha, dont worry about the details! Its inevitable that the last home run or fine play that decides the game will stand out!

The one who said that was Tsukamoto, the pitcher who had definitely worked 100 times harder than me throughout the entire game.

I mean, you really saved my life, too! When the ball was hit at the end, my blood drained out of my body so much, but when you caught it, it suddenly rushed back. I was so grateful that I shouted, Great job, Nihama! Thank you so much!

Tsukamoto expressed his gratitude, looking deeply relieved.

Apparently, the pressure of a pitcher on the verge of victory was unbelievable, and my catch had saved his cold nerves.

Yeah, you did a good job! Ball games are inherently intimidating, but when you got girls screaming at you like this, you got to win!

I laughed a little at the way he caught it because it was so gutsy, but nice catch, skinny guy!

Hey guys

Im not sure if its because Im drunk with the enthusiasm of victory, but everyone honestly congratulated me on my little victory.

Its not like they were this flippant in my previous life but if this is how they became after the festival, its probably an unexpected side effect of my efforts to raise Shijoin-sans favorability.

It was a good feeling to win with this team and to be able to share the joy with these guys.

Okay Now that you mention it, Im starting to get excited and feel good about myself! I didnt feel like I won until just now, but Im going to scream too!

Oh, come on!

Come on! Everyones already yelling at the top of their lungs!

I took a deep breath as I listened to everyones light-hearted comments.

So now lets shout out our joy honestly.

HOLY SHIT I WON! WOOOOOOOOOO!!!

My victory cry echoed across the field as I struck a gut-wrenching pose, surrounded by my teammates.

Fu the water is super tasty

I was at a water fountain at the edge of the playground, quenching my thirst.

The heat in my body from the game I had just finished had not yet subsided.

You were all so happy to see me.

I remember how excited my teammates were about our victory earlier.

Sh-Shijoin-san! Im glad youre here, but whats with all the enthusiasm?

Huh? Its a ritual to honor a good fight in softball, right? Fumihashi-san told me, If you do it for Nihama-kun, hell be happy! When I asked her

You told her a complete lie.

But Ill forgive you because it makes me happy! Well done!

It was just amazing! It was just amazing!

Oh no, Shijoin-sans vocabulary is even worse than it was during the final exam.

Her excitement is like that of an Osaka citizen when a certain tiger baseball team wins the championship.

At the end, I felt so excited that I jumped up and down for joy! He couldnt catch it with his glove, but he didnt give up and went to grab it with his bare hands, and I was so excited!

It was also very touching to see all the team members congratulating Nihama-kun afterwards!

I could tell from Shijoin-sans maxed-out excitement, at the highest it has ever been, that she was truly congratulating me on the results of my efforts.

It seems that Shijoin-san, who loves unity and youth events, enjoyed the game a lot.

But it was good! Its not only that we were all happy to win, but Nihama-kun looked so happy.

Shijoin-san, who had finished telling me how impressed she was, suddenly looked at me and said something like that.

What? Do you enjoy it?

Yes! Nihama-kun didnt seem to be that excited about the ball game, but But today he seemed to be having a lot of fun, despite his mixed feelings of anxiety and nervousness.

If you ask me, Ive been nervous since the start of the game, but I havent been sick to my stomach with fear of failure or wishing this game would end as soon as possible like in my previous life.

Im not very good at ball games because I have a terrible sense of movement. But it can be fun to scream when the other team hits, or cheer when your teammate makes a good play

It was Fumihashis special training that supported me.

But what made me want to do my best in the first place?

What gave me the strongest motivation for this match was

Thank you for your support today, Shijoin-san. At the end of the day, I was so happy that you cheered for me directly It was outrageously motivating. Thanks to you, I was able to work the hardest where it mattered most.

I was so carried away at the time that I shouted, but you got my message. Im embarrassed to say that no matter how enthusiastic I was about the game, I shouted a little too loudly

Shijouin-san says, squirming, her cheeks slightly red.

I couldnt help but shout when I saw Nihama-kun running so hard.

Shijouin-san smiled, leaving a blush of embarrassment on her cheeks.

Her words and smile, which expressed her clear, limpid heart, were so lovely and heartwarming. I fell in love with her all over again.

TLN: Just ask her to go out smh. Even better cross the line with her.

Just seeing this exhausted but excited look on Shijoin-sans face was enough to make this times painful challenge to athleticism completely worth it.

Well, then, lets go back to the classroom, where everyone is waiting for us! The teacher is going to buy us some juice!

Yeah, lets go. We wont be able to do a toast until all of us are in the classroom.

Feeling pleasantly exhausted, Shijoin-san and I walked out together.

In the midst of all this, I suddenly realized that I was following the template of a sports manga.

The reason I started practicing was for the girl I love, and because of that desire, I went through a grueling training session, overcame my unconscious weaknesses, fought with my team, and in the end, just barely picked up a victory through sheer perseverance.

And from the perspective of someone who has tasted that path from beginning to end

(Yeah, I know)

In my previous life, I was not only bad at it, but even an enemy to my own team.
