The baseball club members laughed together.

Endou.his face that looks like he’s about to piss any moment trembles. Lastly, Captain Ataka told Endou.

The uniform you used yesterday and took home was an official game uniform. There were opinions from the members that you have to return it but when it comes to this, the uniform you wore is too bad to use. We don’t need it. You can have it.that’s your last memory for a high school baseball!

Captain Ataka seems to think that it’s impossible for Endou to transfer schools and continue high school baseball.

True.all the schools in the prefecture would refuse him. The plan to go to a distant school in the current situation where Endou’s relatives are involved in a bribery case, that’s impossible. Endou’s high school baseball life is already over.

uhm.captain, everyone!

Endou puts his hand on the ground in a hurry!

i’m very sorry for speaking arrogantly!

Endou kneels on the ground with a pale face.

But.I love baseball! I don’t want to quit baseball!

Rubbing his forehead on the soil!

I’ll stay in this school! Please.please let me stay in the baseball club!

Captain Ataka looks down at Endou like a pest.

It’s too late!

The other baseball club members look at Endou with eyes of sneer.

.Really, what a useless trash

.I’ll never forgive you! .Or rather, die already!

Endou still shouts while lowering his head!

Are you telling me to quit baseball?

The captain lost temper from those words.

.Don’t give me that bullshit bastard!

The other members held back the captain!

.Captain, we’re just before qualifiers

That’s right, there’s no worth hitting that guy! If you hit him you lose.he’ll definitely squeal to the league! .Please calm down for now Our guts are burning too but we’re holding back! .Please bear it

Captain shouts!

.Take this brat to somewhere I can’t see!

.Yup, got it. Captain

The two second years.Sugiyama and Koizumi who were from the rooftop that time jumped outside the ground.

.Hey, Endou, come here

.Hurry up!

The two senior members pull Endou forcibly and took him away.

please wait.I want to talk to Captain!

Endou resists!

Idiot, you made him that angry, there’s nothing to talk about anymore!

Anyway.come with us for now!

Saying that.the two lift Endou to their shoulder!

Then, Captain, we’ll be throwing this guy away!

Saying that.the two carries Endou while cheering.

Wait a moment.please, wait.hey!

Shouldered by the two stronger seniors.Endou’s figure grows smaller and smaller.

.Because of that idiot our training has started late. Well, let’s start!

Captain Ataka pulled himself together and told the members.

.Yes!

Finally. the baseball ceremony begins

.What the hell is that?

I’m nothing but amazed.

That’s all for Endou-kun’s video

Katsuko-nee told me with a smile.

No, uhm.what’s going on after this? Endou was taken by the two seniors.where is he right now?

When I asked that.Katsuko-nee.

We’re still recording now

.Recording?

So something’s going on right now?

.Could you show me the real time image?

They must be in the school.

If they’re recording with a surveillance camera.then we should be able to live broadcast.

Well.not for now

Katsuko-nee said.

.Why not?

Ojou-sama’s plan has an order. We can’t show it to you right now

.So this is also Minaho-neesan’splan?

Rather than that.could you deliver Yukino-san’s breakfast already?

Oh right.I remembered what Katsuko-nee said.

It’s pitiful that Yukino’s hungry.

Yeah.right

I bring the tray of rice ball and miso soup

.Oh right.

Uhm, Katsuko-nee.where’s theconfinement room?

Katsuko-nee looks at Michi when I asked.

Kudou-san.you followed Ojou-sama when she took Yukino-san to thedetention roomdidn’t you?

After Misuzu’s phone call, Misuzu’s face looks deppressed.

yes.should I guard him?

Then.could you go with him to theconfinement room? Yukino-san might begin to rage!

Michi who felt that she was given amission has her face changed to work mode.

.Certainly!

Mana who’s playing with Mana look at me.

Then I’ll go too!

.Hmm

I don’t want to let Onii-chan and Yukino-san be alone!

.I

Rather.I don’t want Mana and Yukino to meet Contact with Yukino still stimulates Mana’s heart. I can’t aggravate Mana’s dependency any further.

No.Michi is enough. Yukino might be stimulated if we’re too many.she’s mentally dangerous right now!

Yukino was struck by reality from the conversation with Minaho-neesan a while ago.

There’s a possibility that she’s in a dangerous state.

.But

Nei-san embraces Mana from the side.

Mana-chan’s on watch with me right?

Nei-san smiles!

It’s okay! We can watch the situation in theconfinement roomfrom this room!

Saying that.Nei-san activates one monitor.

The state in theconfinement roomis reflected Yukino.she’s somewhat limp. It’s the same as last night. She’s lying down like a lion in the zoo.

Watch it here with me, okay?

Nei-san’s kind words.Mana.

.Got it

She answered in a small voice.

This way!

I head to theconfinement roomguided by Michi.

That said, it wasn’t very far. From the monitor room, to the door leading towards the bathroom and toilet.open the wall next to the toilet. At first it looks like a wall in the machine room but it turned out to be a hidden door. Three small doors line up when I pass through the back passage.

These three are the confinement rooms

Michi said.

Yukino-san is on the firstmost room.

Michi opens the lock with the key Katsuko-nee gave her.

.Gii

How should I say it.it’s a very small room.

There are only two tatami mats and the ceiling is around 180cm. You’ll get claustrophobic with this. The whole ceiling is a light panel and it glows brightly. If this goes dark, you’ll panic. There’s only 150% space to breathe.

.Yukino, I brought you breakfast

I try to talk to her but.

Yukino who’s lying down on the floor wearing a piece of white blouse isn’t twitching at all.

Hey, Yukino.you okay?

I tried to enter the room but.

Don’t come in! Leave me alone!

She snarled.

.Fuu For the time being.she seems to be alive.

Here, you must be hungry. I brought breakfast!

I try to show the meal on the tray.

I don’t need it! Bring me back home!

Yukino’s in bad mood.

Don’t say that.eat. If you don’t eat it then you won’t regain strength

.Who cares! .You don’t want to eat?

I’m a bit worried.

There’s no way I would! If you have appetite in this kind of circumstances then you’re crazy!

Yukino shouts!

Well.there’s no need to worry if she’s this energetic.

I can’t do anything if you don’t have an appetite but anyway, I’ll leave it here

I put the tray next to Yukino lying down.

The room that’s too narrow. The delicious smell of miso soup drifts in the room. .Then

.Guu

.Yukino’s stomach rumbled.

What, aren’t you hungry?

When I say that.

Yukino jumped out of bed and glared at me!

Shut up shut up shut uup!

.No

You’re the one who needs to shut up.

Anyway, eat.we’ll leave so take it easy and eat. Okay?

I told Yukino.

.Hmph!

Yukino ignores me then lied down again.

.She’s really an animal.

.Who told you to bring it?

Yukinko who’s lying down told me.
