Chapter 28: Reporter in Baseball Kingdom
When I was on the city's junior high school baseball team, I was studying the Yakushi High School baseball team.
At the gate of Pharmacist High School, two uninvited guests also came.
These two poles have their own characteristics.
The man is about 160 centimeters tall, of average height, wearing a peaked cap on his head, and looks about 40 years old.
It's the type that you can't find if you throw it in a crowd.
Completely opposite to this man, the lady next to him looks to be at least 170 centimeters tall and has typical long legs.
If the man hadn't looked too old-fashioned, people might have mistaken the two of them for the boss and the boss's secretary.
But in fact, the two men are colleagues.
The man's name is Fujitomine, and he is a senior reporter for Baseball Kingdom magazine.
The woman's name is Owada Akiko, and she is an intern reporter who has just joined the job.
Now Akiko Owada is just like a little follower, following closely behind Fujio Peak.
In her eyes, there was still the confusion of a college student who had just entered society.
"Senior! Aren't we specifically interviewing Qingdao? Why are we here?"
Owada Akiko still can't figure out why their senior suddenly changed his mind?
Originally, they were supposed to interview Mingchuan today.
This is the opponent of the Seido High School baseball team in the next stage, a team that also has the status of a dark horse.
“Take a longer view!”
The man wearing a peaked cap looked up at the gate of Yakushi High School.
The gate is plain and unpretentious, completely different from the style of Qingdao High School.
As a prestigious private school, Qingdao's campus facilities are undoubtedly extremely luxurious.
As the most important baseball team, it has luxurious facilities comparable to those of professional teams.
What professional teams have, they have.
Even if he hadn't visited the Yakushima High School baseball team, Fujio could tell.
The facilities of this team include their reserves and heritage in all aspects.
There is absolutely no way to compare with the Seido High School baseball team.
It is estimated that even compared with the city's third high school and Daocheng Industrial, the gap is unimaginable.
However, for such a team, its performance in the first three games was not inferior to the three giants in Nishi Tokyo.
Even beyond...
This is so abnormal!
As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there will always be a monster.
Almost everyone thinks that after his junior year at City University, he will collide with the Seido High School baseball team.
The collision between two giant teams is bound to be exciting and exciting.
But is that really the case?
Because Fujio had previously written a report about Aomichi High School, he focused on the rookie catcher Miyuki Kazuya of the Aomichi High School baseball team.
Although the Qingdao High School baseball team unfortunately ended up in the semi-finals last summer, losing to Daocheng Industrial by one point.
I couldn't go any further, let alone enter Koshien.
But the report written by Fujio was unexpectedly popular.
Although the Seido High School baseball team's performance was not ideal.
The popularity of this team has always remained high, and even a random article has attracted such high attention.
Of course, the editor-in-chief of Baseball Kingdom magazine would not let go of this opportunity.
Therefore, in this summer's Koshien qualifiers, they still sent Fujio to follow up and report on Aomichi High School's competition.
And he was assigned an intern as an assistant.
This shows how much Baseball Kingdom Magazine attaches great importance to this matter?
But Fujio went against the norm and developed a strong interest in another team.
Of course, the reason why he performed like this was because Fujio felt that the next game of this team would change the entire pattern of Nishi Tokyo to a great extent.
If the structure of Nishi Tokyo changes, the impact on Aomichi High School will be unprecedented.
That's why Fujio took a step ahead and wanted to interview the super dark horse pharmacist who was about to collide with the three wealthy families in Nishi Tokyo.
did not expect.
As soon as they arrived at the gate, they were stopped by the school security.
There were two security guards at the school. After Fujio and the others explained their purpose, one of them, who was familiar with the situation, started to call the principal's office.
"By the way, that player on the baseball team you want to interview?"
When she heard the security guard's question, Owada Akiko didn't notice anything.
Fujio's expression changed.
He asked in a low voice, "How did you know we were here to interview the baseball team?"
"Oh, in the past two days, three groups of people have come, all here to interview the baseball team. But some of them are interviewing the team, and some are just interviewing Li Lei."
When the security guard said these words, he was very emotional.
When had their school club ever received such treatment?
But in the past two days, one or two groups of reporters came to interview me every day.
When the first reporter came, the two security guards were still in a hurry and struggled with them for four or five minutes before calling the leader.
They cannot let strangers into the school without the approval of the school leaders.
Neither can reporters.
It's only been a while now, but they have already gotten used to living like this.
And there is also a feeling of pride.
Of course, the two security guards also had doubts.
Although they don't know much about baseball, they know a little bit about it.
Didn’t the summer tournament just start not long ago?
Why does their team feel like they are about to rush into Koshien?
Is this too popular?
Not long after the call was made, the school teacher ran to the door to usher people in.
"Sorry, sorry! I'm late, but I still welcome my two journalist friends."
Although the pharmacists are not a wealthy private family like Seido High School, they are equally enthusiastic about promoting the school.
As long as there is an opportunity, they will never miss it.
Under the leadership of two teachers, Fujio and the others went to the baseball team.
However, the only person interviewed was Todoroki Raizo, the supervisor of the baseball team, and what that supervisor said was all cunning clichés.
They were not able to interview the actual content.
When Owada Akiko left, her head was dizzy...
She felt the enthusiasm of Pharmacist High School, but in this interview, they seemed to get nothing.
This feeling is simply too oppressive.
"senior?"
Faced with Owada Akiko's interrogation, Fujio seemed not to have heard it.
Although he did not interview the players, he watched the pharmacist's training.
Although he did not interview the players, he also saw something through the training of those players.
"How long has it been since the competition between Qingdao High School and Pharmacist?"
"The games are on the same day. The Seido High School game starts at 8 a.m., and the Yakushi High School game starts at 10 a.m."
Akiko Owada replied.
“Good luck!”
Fujio's serious face showed a hint of smile.
"Then let us look forward to these two games."
In addition to the Seido High School baseball team's game, they also want to watch Yakushi's game.
And still focus on it.
"But senior, the magazine should have sent someone else to interview the city junior."
"It doesn't matter, he looks at theirs and we look at ours."
At this time, there are still one day and 23 hours before Pharmacist's next game.
Chapter completed!
