Shoto VS Seiryu (5)

"Safe!" - The umpire declared, spreading his arms wide.

"Yeeeahhh!" - Takeya, who had just scored, stood up and celebrated enthusiastically with Sora, who had also crossed the plate.

"Yeeeeaahhh! Sho-to! Sho-to! Sho-to! Sho-to!" - The cheers from the Shoto crowd grew even louder. With these two runs, the score now stood at 7-0 against a powerhouse like Seiryu, and it was still only the top of the first inning.

Shun watched the scene from third base with a satisfied smile. He had just hit a triple and driven in two runs, but he wasn't content yet. His eyes met those of his samurai friend, who was walking toward the batter's box. Without exchanging a word, Ren understood exactly what Shun wanted him to do.
