Chapter 143: 14

Uematsu Yurika Bats

Now then, let’s see what speed level is appropriate for Yurika.

I ponder as I watch Yurika happily walk toward me.

She really gives off this dog-like feel, doesn’t she?

.

.

“Nn?”

.

.

It was then I spotted a familiar face.

.

.

“THAT’S IT, RUA! LET THE BALL COME TO YOU AND SEND IT FLYING!”

“No wa~y….. I can’t even hit the ball.”

“Ah, look out, it’s coming.”

“Auu! …….I can’t do it, Tatsuyuki.”

“Come on, the next one is coming RuaRua.”

“I’m not RuaRua! It’s just Rua! ……..Auu.”

“Wow…… 20 consecutive whiffs huh? Congrats”

“Don’t congratulate me~~~~~!”

.

.

I can see Tatsuyuki-san trying to cheer someone up in his own weird way.

The heck is he doing……?

That short girl is probably his girlfriend.

I don’t think he has any sister named Rua after all.

Now I get why Master told me that she gave off an Emi-like vibe when he mentioned her before.

.

.

“Nn? Master, what’s wrong?”

“No, nothing.”

.

.

Let’s pretend I didn’t see them.

Since Tatsuyuki-san and his girlfriend were in the 65km/hr zone, the lowest speed level, I decided to head to the 80km/hr zone which was a little farther away.

.

.

“I think the speed of Yurika’s [Ice Blade] is probably around 80km/hr so how about we have your first at that speed?”

“Umu, understood.”

.

.

Actually, I wanted to have Yurika warm up in the 70km/hr zone first but since Tatsuyuki-san was nearby, I pushed the difficulty up a little.

Still, with how athletic she is, she will probably be fine.

It’s a good thing she actually brought some clothes that are easy to move in with her today.

.

.

“The first one is on me.”

“Master~! Thank you!”

“I got it already…….you really like to exaggerate everything huh…….”

.

.

It still tickles me when she keeps calling me [Master~!] over and over though.

I take Yurika’s bag and urged her to stand at the batter spot.

Then I inserted the coin and the ball started shooting.

.

.

“UOOOOAH!”

.

.

Yurika screams as she moves the bat and with a dull sound, the ball hits.

.

.

“I did it! I hit the first ball……..”

“……..”

“Ah, I hit the second ball too!”

“O~~i! Start swinging! You’re hitting the ball but why did you just default to bunting!? The place is called a batting center for a reason you know!”

(TLN: Bunt is a baseball technique that let the ball hit the bat without swinging)

“Eh?”

.

.

Yurika bunts the third ball as well.

Moreover, it was a pretty good bunt too.

You’re not part of the black triangle okay……

(TLN: the black triangle is a famous formation in Japanese baseball, one guy is famous for his bunt and run technique)

.

Noticing her mistake, Yurika looked around and saw how other people are swinging and imitated their batting stance.

That’s right, you’re going the right way now.

.

.

“HA!”

.

.

When Yurika swung the bat, the hit position was off-center so it resulted in a foul.

However, considering that it was her first swing, the fact that she managed to hit the ball showed her talent. It is probably due to her eyes already adjusted to the speed of her Gift.

.

.

“Hah!”

“Ahh, just a bit more.”

“ORYAH!”

“Pull it a bit closer.”

“TAKE THIS!”

“Faster.”

.

.

She kept getting fouls over and over.

Like I said, you’re not a part of the black triangle okay……

.

.

“You have to hit the ball with your entire body, not just your arms. Take a good look at the ball before shifting your center of gravity.”

“Yes, understood.”

.

.

Then, Yurika hit another ball.

The ball goes forward this time and lands in the hit zone.

.

.

“I did it! I did it, Maste~r!”

“Next one’s coming.”

“It’s just a feeling but I think I get the timing down now.”

.

.

She kept getting good hits one after another.

Some balls even reached the outfield so she might really have a talent for this.

Maybe she really can be a black triangle.

After all, she did all 3 of their signature moves all by herself.

After the round is over, Yurika walked toward me with a satisfied smile on her face.

.

.

“I see, so it’s training for me to bash people with a bat if I get attacked huh.”

“It was not that kind of dangerous training alright!?”

“I think I’ve become a little stronger now.”

“Can you not……..”

.

.

It seems I unintentionally taught her something dangerous.

.

.

“There’s nothing wrong with being strong you know. I just got involved with some bad sort the other day too.”

“Bad sort?”

“Yes, hear me out, Master. It was really scary.”

.

.

Yurika started telling me her story.

———–

“Muh? Someone is badmouthing me on the school’s secret board.”

.

.

[[Uematsu-san is such an airhead lol. A little trick and she will definitely let me do it hahaha.]]

.

Yurika seems to have found some scumbag badmouthing her online.

.

.

“Now then, let’s start a hunt.”

.

.

Yurika began staking out the man’s posts on the secret board and his Twitter.

And after 3 days, she managed to identify him.

.

.

“You were the one who made fun of me online right?”

“Ha!? What!?”

“I have proof here.”

.

.

Apparently, she screen-captured the man’s tweets and his posts about her.

.

.

“GO TO HELL!”

“You trash…….”

.

.

After knocking out the man who angrily lunged at her, Yurika seemed to be satisfied with that as her revenge.

———–

“There were a lot of scary people like that man so I thought that I should become stronger.”

“No, now I’m more scared of you than that guy you know.”

“Well, I just happened to find the post online. I didn’t do anything scary at all.”

“That’s exactly what’s terrifying about you.”

.

.

The fact that you can casually dox people alone is already too scary.

.

.

“If it’s Master then I’m sure that you would be able to solve the problem more brilliantly………”

.

.

In my case, I wouldn’t mind some random person badmouthing me online so I wouldn’t do anything in the first place…….

I can take pretty much anything anyone says about me after all.

.

.

“Alright, it’s Master’s turn next! I want to witness your radiant figure! Shall we go with 120km/hr?”

“W, Well, I can do that………”

.

.

It was when I was about to get dragged away by Yurika.

.

.

“Hey, did you see that guy!? He hit a home run at the 160km/hr zone you know?”

“What, you don’t know him? I heard he got scouted by the major league but he turned it down saying [Sorry, I have a sister to take care of]. We call him the Slugger around here.”

“Eh!? No way!?”

“Well, it’s a rumor after all.”

.

.

Two men walked past me and Yurika.

.

.

“That’s amazing, Maste~r! There’s a guy who hit homerun with twice the ball speed as mine! Let’s go watch him!”

“No way.”

.

.

Please give the man his privacy okay…….

I spent my time with Yurika at the batting center for about an hour after that. It was fun and it’s a nice stress reliever.

.

.

.

.

.

.

“That was fun, Master! Let’s come again!”

“Yeah, let’s do this again sometime!”

.

.

Yurika is the type that enjoys moving her body so it’s no wonder that she likes this kind of thing. I’d be happy to accompany her again.

I can’t come here with the others after all.

.

.

“I thought that men are all savage but I’m glad I found a brilliant man like you, Master.”

“Yurika?”

“Maste~r! I will follow you forever!”

“Y, You don’t have to hug me every time alright!? We are both soaked in sweat you know!?”

“Ahahahahaha, if it’s Master’s sweat then I don’t mind at all!”

“MIND IT WILL YOU!?”

.

.

Even with all the sweat, being hugged by Yurika didn’t really feel bad.

I admire how lively she is. Compared to me who always gets depressed over my fate in the original story, Yurika’s brightness shines like the sun to me.
