On July 23, the fourth round of the West Tokyo qualifiers.
Half an hour before the start of the match between Seidou High School and Akikawa Academy.
Lines of buses lined up neatly before the Fuchuu Municipal Stadium entrance.
"Damn it, this scene is so good!"
"What are these for?"
This scene completely overwhelmed those spectators who had just come to watch the game.
They had never seen such a luxurious lineup. Even if the school deliberately brought the audience over, only three or four buses and that's it.
There are more than a dozen buses like this, it is at least a thousand people.
Which school can have such money and people?
Then, the door of the bus opened, and a group of people got off.
The men were holding small flags with slogans written on them.
"Brotherhood of Red Heart!"
Incredible, who would expect an ordinary high school baseball game, will have such an appeal?
"What are you thinking? That's a fan of the Demon-King Sawamura."
"Aren't Sawamura's fans called the Demon-King's Guard?"
"No not those, the Demon King's Guards occupied the stadium an hour earlier."
As the crowd continued to go inside, in the stands of Fuchuu Stadium, the Demon King's Guards, who occupied most of the third base side stand, had already sat there.
In addition to the site they occupied, there were dozens of other people who took up a seat on the site.
As soon as they saw the people from the Brotherhood of the Red Heart coming, these people immediately left and gave their place to the people of the Brotherhood of the Red Heart.
Such an interaction between the two Fan Clubs attracted applause from the surrounding audience.
They also like Sawamura very much, and by the way, they also like these two Fan Clubs of Sawamura.
It's just a pity that the two Fan Clubs don't have much communication with each other.
The people who helped to occupy the seats didn't say anything, and the people from the Brotherhood of Red Heart didn't even say thank you.
As if in order to maintain their own high-cold personality, the two sides had zero communication throughout the whole process.
From the number of people who came to Fuchuu Stadium, The two major groups, the Brotherhood of Red Heart and the Demon-King's Guard, accounted for half of the total number. Eighty percent of the remaining half of the stand came to cheer on the players of Seidou High School.
Although the performance of Seidou High School in the past two years, in particular, was not very satisfactory, it is a top powerhouse in the zone, and this is very basic in the Tokyo area. Especially now, Seidou High School is in a strong generation and has just won the championship of the Kanto Tournament.
Whether it is those who have always supported Seidou or those who supported Seidou in the past, they all have strong confidence in Seidou High School right now.
As the competition became more and more intense, more and more people came to watch Seidou's matches.
Now there are thousands of them!
As for the remaining 10%, they are not here to cheer Akikawa.
Most of them came now. Because they heard that the game was very interesting, so just came to watch it.
They are the most standard Popcorn Enjoyers!
Purely in terms of the number of audience support, Akikawa has no chance of winning.
Well, it hurts a bit to say that.
At the same time, the bus from Seidou High School also came here.
The players stood in a row, waiting for instructions from their Coaches.
"The tactics are as we said before, and never forget the signs."
"Yes!"
"Today's temperature is over 30 degrees, so we need to replenish water from time to time. I hope other players on the bench will support the players on the field."
"Yes, sir!"
After finishing all the details, Kataoka suddenly turned his attention to Sawamura.
"Sawamura is the starter today, Tanpa, Furuya, and Kawakami be ready and waiting to play at any time."
"Yes!"
Sawamura agreed and took the lead.
No matter how much you underestimate Akikawa Academy, in fact, everyone at Seidou High School knows that Akikawa is difficult to deal with.
Just in case, Kataoka directly let Sawamura play, which is the proof.
In the beginning, Akikawa Academy was not given any chance of luck.
"Wooo!"
"They appeared, Seidou player!"
"Masuko!"
"Yuuki!"
"Isashiki!"
"Furuya!!"
"Miyuki!!"
"Chris!!"
"Kominato!"
In the auditorium, the audience shouted the names of the players of Seidou High School one by one.
At a time like this, those who support Sawamura will not shout.
If they shouted, the other players of Seidou High School would not hear the sound of cheering for them.
"Kuramochi..."
The high-profile players were called out one by one.
When it is time for Kuramochi.
The Brotherhood of Red Heart and the Demon-King's Guard finally moved.
"Sawamura!!"
"Sawamura!!!!!!!!"
The sound that resounded throughout the stadium shook the ground.
The sound of cheering for Kuramochi was directly drowned out by these huge cheers.
Kuramochi looked at Sawamura with a livid face: "Y-You, you did it on purpose?"
Sawamura looked aggrieved.
"I didn't!"
"You did!"
"I didn't!"
On the other side of the field, the players of Akikawa Academy looked at the players of Seidou High School enviously.
'Man, this is so flashy!'
Is this cheering for an ordinary high school baseball game?
"There are so many people in the other side's audience? Not only are there special cheerleaders and bands, but also a huge and neat Fan Club. Compared with them…"
On the stand above Akikawa, a few people sat sparsely.
These people didn't come here specifically to cheer Akikawa, but the stands on the opposite side were too crowded, so they had to choose to sit there.
"Forget it, everyone is busy with extra classes during the summer vacation…"
"My parents also told me to give up baseball early."
Captain Shiratori said in distress.
"My family too. My parents also said that we didn't let you go to Akikawa Academy just to play baseball."
Ninomiya poured the bitter water in his heart along with him.
"To be honest, we never thought we would play baseball so seriously."
"However, we have reached this point, and it is impossible to give up just when someone said to give up."
West Tokyo Top 16!
In the fierce battle zone, such a ranking is simply for Famous Schools.
If such a team reaches Koshien, what is the most common sentence that people in Tokyo say?
"Tsk, even a team like this can reach Koshien, they would not even reach our top 16 in West Tokyo."
West Tokyo Top 16!
Although there is inevitably the pride of the Public school, it can also be seen that the strength of the top 16 in West Tokyo is indeed extraordinary.
These young men in Akikawa Academy never thought that they could be one of them.
Entered into the Big Guys league who can be compared with the contestants of Koshien.
Yes, they managed to get to this place with great difficulty, how can they say they are backing down?
"Come on, let's enjoy this game to the fullest!"
