Takamura was watching the girl crossing that walkway.

Her long ponytail swayed behind her and she was resting a camera tripod on her shoulder.

She turned toward him and waved.

But she waved while walking, so the tripod lost its balance and nearly fell from her shoulder.

He watched as she quickly supported it and entered the other school building.

“You idiot,” he muttered under his breath.

Then someone else called out to him as if they had heard him. It was the pitcher named Naka in front of him.

“Taka.”

He ignored the frown from the coach on the bench.

“Are you in the zone?”

Takamura did not respond, but an underclassman on the bench responded for him.

“You’re totally in the zone, right!? Your defense is on fire today, so show us 1st years how to bat too!”

Takamura did not respond to that either.

He simply spread his legs and thought to himself.

And Naka asked him another question.

“Can you take this seriously?”
