81. The halftime break for boys and girls

Dubian Che took the initiative to leave the music classroom during lunch break. He had planned to go to the Human Observation Department and take a nap on the sofa, but Kiyono Lin was there, earnestly listening to a performance of a distinguished wind instrument club.

With the thought that sleeping in front of someone working hard was impolite, he decided to look for Kunii Shuichi on the playground instead.

Even though he was just a reserve member, the guy was still working hard for the Koshien preliminaries in July.

"Dubian? Perfect timing, come on, hurry!"

Before Dubian Che could react, Kunii Shuichi had stuffed a pair of baseball gloves and a ball into his hands.

"What is this for?"

"I need you to pitch for me, to help with my training," said Kunii Shuichi as he turned and headed to the batting area.

"..."

Dubian Che couldn't very well refuse his good friend's request for help with practice, even if he had intended to take a nap.
