Chapter 311: Concert

Not long after the match ended, the recording of this Seido vs. Inashiro game was already in the hands of the managers of major regional powerhouse teams. As Seido High School was a favorite to win this Summer Tournament, every team that qualified for this year's Koshien would study Seido as a potential opponent they might encounter, and they studied them to death; otherwise, if they really met on the Koshien field, there would be no way out but death.

At this moment, in the Hokkaido region, a certain bald manager of a certain team had also just finished watching this match via live stream. Seeming to feel it wasn't enough, the bald manager immediately went online to start collecting data on Seido High School. He had a premonition that they would definitely meet at Koshien!

The Seido team was naturally unaware of the vigilance of the major powerhouses. Having just won, they were still immersed in joy, singing the Seido Baseball Club's team song and the Seido High School school anthem over and over again.

"It's so good. I still can't believe that I've actually been able to make it to Koshien three times in a row." Isashiki Jun lay back in his seat, looking emotional.

"It's not over yet. Winning Koshien three times in a row will be even more wonderful," Yuki Tetsuya said, turning around with a smile.

"Yeah, three Koshien championships," Kominato Ryosuke added.

Hearing this, Isashiki Jun's eyes lit up at first, then he sighed and said, "It's only three times, what a pity."

"Hm? Pity for what?" Yuki Tetsuya looked at Isashiki in confusion. Three Koshien championships—was he still regretful about that?

Isashiki Jun curled his lip. "If we were in the same year as that guy Huangqian, wouldn't we be able to win 5 Koshien championships?"

Hiss~

When the third-years heard this, good grief, you are really greedy.

However, this was truly tempting.

Three Summer Koshien championships, two Spring Koshien championships—of course, this was a fantasy built on the premise that Huangqian Yangyi's grade could enter Koshien every time and win every time.

But the third-years didn't feel this fantasy was impossible; on the contrary, the probability was high! Just because that freak existed.

Thinking of this, the third-year seniors looked at Huangqian Yangyi and Miyuki Kazuya, the second-years, with a hint of envy—well, and jealousy.

"Hehe, Jun-san, jealousy is useless," Miyuki said, turning his head to issue a punchable declaration.

"You bastard, just you wait!" Isashiki Jun roared.

"I think, since Jun-san feels it's a pity, there's actually a way," Huangqian Yangyi suddenly said.

Hm?

"What way?" A hint of anticipation, and even a little nervousness, welled up in Isashiki Jun's heart.

"Repeat a year."

"Go to hell!! You're just as annoying as Miyuki!"

"Hahahahahaha~"

Joyful laughter rang out on the bus.

After the Seido High School Baseball Club returned to school by bus, Coach Kataoka told everyone to disperse and go back to rest.

Huangqian Yangyi seized the time to return to the dormitory to shower, change clothes, and get himself cleaned up. He sat in a chair and waited less than 5 minutes before receiving a call from his younger sister, Kumiko.

"Nii-chan, Reina and I are at the gate of your school."

At the gate of Seido High School, Huangqian Kumiko held Reina's hand while on the phone with Huangqian Yangyi.

"Wait there!"

Huangqian Yangyi hung up the phone, put his hands in his pockets, and walked out of the dormitory.

At the school gate, Huangqian Kumiko and Kousaka Reina were holding hands and looking into the school. One was wearing a little yellow dress, the other a little white dress; passersby couldn't help but turn their heads to look.

Less than ten minutes later, Huangqian Yangyi appeared in front of the two girls.

"Nii-chan!"

Kumiko flew over as usual, and Huangqian Yangyi hurriedly caught her.

After nuzzling in Huangqian Yangyi's arms, Kumiko suddenly looked up and said, "Congratulations on winning the championship, brother."

"Thanks, Kumiko, for cheering for me." Huangqian Yangyi dotingly rubbed and pinched his sister's cheeks, then looked at Kousaka Reina. The young girl's cheeks were slightly red, and seeing Huangqian Yangyi look over, she immediately revealed a sweet smile.

"Yangyi-nii, long time no see."

Huangqian Yangyi let go of his sister, smiled, and then took the initiative to open his arms: "Long time no see."

Kousaka Reina walked over with a red face and, imitating Kumiko, hugged Huangqian Yangyi.

Their relationship had become much closer during the previous vacation; during that time, Kousaka Reina almost ran to the Huangqian house every day to play ensembles with Kumiko for someone to hear.

After the three chatted briefly, they took a car to the commercial street, with Kousaka Reina in the middle, holding Huangqian Kumiko's left hand and Huangqian Yangyi's right hand.

The Huangqian siblings, caught in one net!

I'm the biggest winner!

The next day, the First String members, who had obtained a short two-day vacation, went back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers. Of course, not many went home; in Huangqian Yangyi's dormitory, Arima Kazusa and Chris both stayed at school.

"Senior, do you think I'll be cut from the team?"

Having worried for a day, Arima Kazusa finally couldn't help but ask Huangqian Yangyi for comfort.

"How would I know? That depends on what the Coach and the instructors think," Huangqian Yangyi said, reading a manga book with great interest.

At this, Chris, who had been studying, stopped his pen, turned his head, and smiled: "You're only a First Year. Even if you're cut this time, there will be opportunities in the future. Keep a level head."

Arima Kazusa nodded and turned to continue his own work.

Time passed bit by bit. In the evening, Huangqian Yangyi finally waited for his sister's call.

"Kumiko, how was it?"

"Nii-chan! Teacher Sotozono Shoichiro said I have a lot of talent!" Kumiko shared her joy with her brother very happily. Today was her first time going to the home of the Euphonium master Sotozono Shoichiro for a lesson, and she had received the master's praise.

"Is that so? As expected of my sister," Huangqian Yangyi said with a proud face.

"Heehee, brother, I'm going to find Reina and my sister now, I won't talk to you for now."

"Go ahead, go ahead. Remember to come to the school gate to meet up later, and we'll take a car to the Budokan together," Huangqian Yangyi said.

Hanging up the phone, Huangqian Yangyi took a few concert tickets out of the drawer—the first concert of 'After School Tea Time'.

At 7 o'clock that night, Huangqian Yangyi arrived at the concert venue with his sister and Kousaka Reina.

"This popularity is quite high," Huangqian Yangyi sighed as he looked at the packed audience seats.

"Of course, this is the hottest girl band right now!" Huangqian Mamiko felt proud that her friends were so popular.

"Let's go, let's go, our seats are over there." Kumiko pulled Kousaka Reina and happily rushed to the front.

Not long after sitting down, the concert officially began, and the five girls of the band also took the stage.

"Whoa, they really are quite cute," Huangqian Yangyi exclaimed as he looked at the people on stage.

"Right? Right? Let me tell you, Hirasawa Yui is always so dazed, and there's Akiyama Mio—don't let her look like that now, she's actually very introverted; Tainaka Ritsu always loves to tease her, and then there's the keyboardist Kotobuki Tsumugi, her family is super rich, she's a young lady of a wealthy family," Huangqian Mamiko excitedly introduced the members of the band on stage to Huangqian Yangyi.

"And finally, there's my favorite, Nakano Azusa! She's super cute!"

Listening to his older sister's introduction, that night, for two hours, the tough guy Huangqian Yangyi stubbornly sang along to every single song until his voice went hoarse.
