Practice Game (2)

Some time later, the Raiders arrived at Publix field ready for the game. Since it was their home ground, the Ligers took to the field first with Terry on the mound for the first inning.

Ken's eyes drifted to his grandfather whose eyes were locked onto the field. He had barely spoken to him this entire week. At first he had been a little surprised, but he received a message on the second day.

Apparently Mark wanted to keep his distance, so that no one could accuse him of nepotism. He wanted to judge everyone fairly and avoid any unnecessary issues that could arise due to their relationship.

Of course even if he did this, there would always be those who would talk behind their backs if Ken and Daichi made it into the team. But there was nothing that could be done about such people.

"Why do you think they used Terry?" Daichi who was sitting next to Ken asked.
