>>1

It’s a practice match, isn’t it…?

>>11

Originally, it’s about charging in even if you might lose…

These villagers are scary.

Villagers of the sort associated with evil gods.

Well, I have gone too far and have now entered the phase where the rain falls and the ground hardens.

There were also some maniacs over there.

These sparkling eyes.

Genius doesn’t say things like that!!

It’s really scary that even if a situation arises where there are two outs, the bases are loaded, and Tōka’s bomb is probably being noticed on top of Kiriyama’s, I feel like he would still have this face.

I’m glad to see that you’re really feeling nervous.

In the previous work, it was revealed that only one number could be produced, and it was thoroughly stirred up because of that.

In the first place, it’s a style where victory is achieved if Kiriyama can be brought out under ideal conditions, irrespective of bomb incidents.

Since I could kill with one pitch in the previous at-bat, I have two bullets left.

I don’t know whether it will turn out to be good or bad.

>>15

Even if the bomb in my right elbow is discovered, I don’t know if the remaining rounds will be revealed.

>>16

If you lose, Sanba-kun will lose confidence forever!

Is this the intensity of a practice match…?

>>19

Endurance tests are usually more severe than the actual event…

>>47

Is episode 16 of Inflation just about exchanging ships?

Even if we hypothetically lose and reveal our strategies here, the growth we’ve achieved so far and the benefits from player allocation mean that it hasn’t even resulted in a slight loss, which is frightening.

Moreover, both parties have made perfect secrets due to the non-disclosure agreement.

Take it easy.

It’s not even an official match yet…

Kobori is the one who takes Koshien the most seriously.

>>23

This guy is definitely playing games about management or business while everyone else is playing Power Pro…

>>25

What’s scary is that, like Ino, it hasn’t been noticed even by someone with an eye for observation.

>>27

While everyone is playing PowerPro’s match mode, I’m playing in pennant mode.

Well, there’s no doubt that I’m playing Power Pro.

Considering the intensity of a match

It seems like the thorough depiction will end after about three matches.

>>29

This turn of events is quickly brushed over, so it’s nice that the focus is completely elsewhere.

An imaginary little sister appeared in a dream that couldn’t be fulfilled, and I burst out laughing.

You should have him do something other than baseball.

No, rather, is it better to waste talent on baseball?

>>31

I play baseball because I love it.

It’s a game where the baseball novice Dump Agawa is likely to learn something unfavorable about baseball.

Well, the explanation itself is quite reasonable, but…

If this happens in a practice match, it seems like there will be fatalities in an official game.

>>34

If you’re that clever, you wouldn’t do anything to ruin the event itself.

Conversely, I am investigating how far I can go without hindering the continuation.

Isn’t there a village just before Rasudan?

>>37

I think it’s a mid-stage town with multiple objects that seem to have significance.

Since it’s a performance test, I’ll push the limits a bit…

This is the last dungeon.

There is a demon king.

Is it okay that Todoroki has also grown up?

>>42

It’s a good match for practice.

It’s probably Hanada City.

Mewtwo and level 60+ monsters are lurking in the cave on the outskirts of town.

In terms of manga, it looks like a climax and the final match even though it’s the first match and a practice game.

This guy is like a hidden boss or something in P4, a villager.

Is it possible that the narrator Villager A is actually a berserker who wishes for an annihilation battle with the Demon King!?

Isn’t this the kind of situation where you go, “No way… did they deliberately create this scenario after getting two outs and the bases loaded?!”

In baseball, even as a villager, they have a cheat level on par with a protagonist in a story when it comes to interpersonal skills.

Doctor Nova playing baseball by chance.

It’s been popular in recent professional baseball that there’s no problem according to the rules…

When reading on a smartphone, it’s amazing how this is drawn to exactly divide the pages.

You were doing it, weren’t you, author?

>>54

I was reading on my smartphone, and the temperature difference broke my abs.

>>54

That’s a weird double-page spread… but I see, it’s for smartphone compatibility…

Awkward evolution cancel

Doing strange things within the rules of baseball is the merchant’s responsibility.

There were various climaxes, but yeah, this isn’t the main event; it’s leveling up…

A bulletin board can’t be done by one person!

>>61

Huh?! You can do it, right? Go ahead!

>>63

Stop self-promotion.

Don’t post the hidden boss pretending to be a villager.

>>62

The scariest part is that the Thunder Sensor doesn’t even make you feel that something is wrong.

>>66

Because that only works with things related to baseball, right?

The villagers’ baseball plays are ordinary.

>>70

How about Minecraft?

>>71

You’re just doing something weird within the rules of baseball.

>>71

He is seriously committed to baseball, right?

The way to play baseball is just different from others.

>>71

Minecraft has the ability to target the shattered spirit of the Great Thunder, launching bunts to destroy it, so isn’t it different from the villagers?

>>70

Isn’t it impressive that they can execute the squeeze play perfectly even though the opponent is unsteady?

>>92

Even a first-year merchant can manage to lay down a bunt where they aim…

The crazy scientist category of modern tales.

It’s unfair for the player to participate in the game themselves.

If you only look at the baseball strength, they might be considered villagers.

The strength outside of baseball is…

However, the weakness itself is quickly identified.

>>69

I had figured it out a long time ago, but I didn’t understand the meaning of the weakness, so it was no good.

This person is probably just mediocre when it comes to playing baseball.

It’ll be obvious that I can only give my all for three pitches…

I got found out by the enemy’s special ability!

It’s like a game of Shin Megami Tensei; once this match is over, what am I going to fight next?

>>75

If this were the main match, it would be over, but since it’s a practice match, we have another chance even though our weaknesses have been exposed.

What to do about a regular opponent like Kiriyama when it comes to using missed opportunities.

Isn’t it really scary that this unpredictable madman is in the lower part of the lineup?

>>77

This year’s third-year students, evaluated as potential contenders for Koshien thanks to their monstrous analytical skills, mean that Hamaso is a remarkable team.

>>77

I think their abilities as an athlete are average.

The villagers lack both baseball intelligence and baseball skills…

The proper tactics are left to You-chan, while the unconventional strategies are handled by the merchant.

After breaking the opponent’s coordination, they played like crap…

Ino needs to create his own highlights in baseball, after all.

Kobori doesn’t need to do such a thing.

>>83

It’s unfair that just speaking can create a highlight.

The villagers seem happy that the experience points they can gain have increased, even though it looks like the opponent has become stronger.

Minecraft is fundamentally a versatile and excellent entity with high specs.

Oh, so that’s how baseball is.

>>89

A new dangerous template has arrived…

>>95

It seems like if you try, you can attack too.

I think it’s quite a dangerous stereotype.

Inoue is seriously at a level just below Kiriyama Tohru in terms of talent, it’s insane.

Aim to become a pro, pro.

Todoroki-kun, isn’t tennis or something like that better?

It’s already been stated that their abilities as a player are at the villager + α level.

It seems that will resonate in the future.

But didn’t you fail to see the speed of Todoroki’s legs? Isn’t there a certain flaw in your RPG eyes as well?

>>97

Well, that’s because you’re only looking at it from an RPG perspective.

Even villagers must have seen horrific things from the perspective of an owner or a director.

>>97

Over there, talent is like a bug…

I acknowledge my lack of talent as a villager.

>>102

There is also the possibility of humility or something along those lines.

I’m looking forward to it because the person themselves hasn’t been explored deeply yet.

>>106

The strategies related to baseball are not noticed, and understanding comes one step too late from Yo-chan, clearly depicted as inferior.

Everyone, lend me your strength…!

Also, what’s with protecting my right elbow…?!

>>99

It’s great that you can consult with your friends!

It’s a weakness, you idiot!!

>>107

But what if the staging from here makes it seem like there’s no way to see that weakness? Hehe.

The Nicky pitch has a lot of restrictions.

>>101

Since the roles are reversed, there are moments when the opponent really wants to score and will take action.

The lack of a status display for deception values and management values in typical RPGs likely didn’t cultivate observational skills.

It seems like if Todoroki looks closely, the remaining count might be displayed somewhere.

>>109

Just become a doctor already.

This villager is surprised by their ally’s play and isn’t the type to do strange things within the realm of baseball.

The ability and sensitivity to manage people is just monstrous.

They started saying something like a one-head gambler…

>>115

There must be gamblers in that world baseball competition.

>>126

Stop it.

>>126

Hehehe…

In other words, it’s nice to know that the statement about subtly protecting the right elbow showed that Tohru’s perspective is not fantasy but the product of outstanding observational skills.

I like the part where Kiriyama comes home even though he’s being swept away.

I’m savoring the joy of being able to play baseball!

Since it’s a practice match where losing is okay, let’s push ourselves to the limit of breaking!

>>118

Is it okay for Masaru-chan to be given the situation with two outs and the bases loaded?

>>134

If you get through this, you’ll become even stronger.

>>137

The villagers have arrived.

It’s like the Demon King shown in Todoroki’s eyes is just something he hasn’t noticed is already being counted.

The strange design where only three fingers protrude from the right elbow is probably an expression of “three-ball pitch.”

But I’m really feeling excited, so I’m not a psychopath or anything, Kobori.

If they find out that I can only throw two more pitches, it would be a normal dead end, so I wonder what I should do.

If you don’t swing, it’ll automatically end with a walk.

>>121

I probably won’t do it, but pretending to slip away and then crushing it…

Since the gallery is shut out, there’s relatively no lingering issues.

>>170

There’s no way I would accept being told to do it by Kiriyama…

Was there a depiction of the opposing team’s coach?

>>122

I’m normally appearing during the performance of God Manzai.

>>122

I’m going to use it for my job hunting!

In terms of character performance in the Dragon Quest series, Torneko is treated as a joke.

In terms of setting, it’s a wealthy merchant.

I think Kobori is playing strategy games like Civilization.

It might only be medieval for now, but in the next encounter, seeing it grow into a cyberpunk world might make me realize for the first time that he was playing a different game too.

I was surprised while looking at it on my smartphone, but I see how it turns out like this when viewed in a spread…

I wish they would cut it out even in the paperback version.

I didn’t expect to show signs of injury in the first match.

>>128

The author uses a cutting technique even before the match starts.

The expression is different…!

We’ll manage somehow with Hirose’s pitching.

>>130

Once it’s obvious that there are only two serious pitches, and since there are only two pitches that can be strikes, no matter what the pitch distribution is, it will all end if you just don’t swing.

I wonder what Yokohama High School in this world is like.

Are you going to compete not as a pitcher, but as a batter!?

You said you couldn’t shake Kiriyama!

It’s not just limited to one person being in a different genre.

The villagers are properly equipped and are playing baseball to a level that at least won’t interfere in Koshien, instead of being free-to-play.

The main body is just a little absent from the baseball field.

When you’re getting carried away, you throw wild pitches, but when your focus drifts, you throw it straight down the middle—what a genius.

As the story progresses, will the mob character change into a strange one…?

The term “durability test” is perfectly correct, but it’s really not something students should be doing to their classmates…

Thank you, Pitch is so interesting!

It’s strong, but if you miss three years, you’ll become useless, so the setting that this year is the last chance is also well done.

The author was doing it, right?

Oh, so that’s what baseball is like!!

Intuitively, the remaining bullets are also exposed, judging by the Demon King’s right elbow.

Whether or not you’ll realize it is honestly a mystery.

>>148

Kirishima has three fingers sticking out of his tattered right elbow, but what the heck is that!?

>>149

A flag indicating that a new arm grows after being destroyed.

>>148

You progress to the stage where you can trust your awareness if you become aware.

…Monster!!

It’s either a Frape that has lost its restraint or just a Gresham in disguise…

It feels like this villager might be the type of Gresham who can bounce back immediately even after being hit back.

If there’s a chance to go to Koshien, we have to take big risks and gain huge experience points!

>>154

If you can’t overcome something like that…

It can’t be helped.

What would have happened if Inou had thrown a pick-off to first base while he was walking?

>>157

If it’s a double steal, we want one out now, so just get Inou out and that’s it.

Everyone is funny in a different way, but Kobori-kun’s will is just too strong in pitch black.

It’s normal to lose everything if you challenge yourself and fail! Come on! Let’s challenge ourselves again!

>>159

Is that Graysham’s head?

It’s an 80-point result, but that’s not enough, so let’s aim for a 120-point result!

If you fail, it’s a minus, but it’s okay as long as you win!

A villager from the demon world…?

Oh really, so baseball is that kind of sport, huh?

It’s too much of a provoking stamp…

Even though I knew he was a villager, the reason for my defeat was that I didn’t realize the game he was playing was Fire Emblem.

>>165

It’s not a championship nine.

>>167

Because I’m a villager, it might be a little different.

>>179

Seven Samurai, huh…

Seriously, if Kobori becomes a bureaucrat, he will become a monster at making informal arrangements.

The way the third-year Kiriyama is so concerned about the first-year Inoue is adorable～!!

It’s not the kind of drama you see in practice matches.

Even if you lose everything, you can still earn money again!

Kobori can only see a future where they become panicked and flustered instead of failing and making a worried face.

We can start over from this failure!

It seems like the opponent might grow more than Semba, but is that okay…?

Todoroki learned that there are individuals with different kinds of talents, but will he be able to notice the situation in the thread?

>>174

Realizing talents that aren’t related to the game doesn’t mean anything, right…?

Let’s try not to take the match, or something like that is all there is.

He was the kind of guy who aimed for Koshien even from that situation.

Your manga is so amazing, Sumiyoshi Kyuu-san!! You were doing it, weren’t you!?

Don’t smile with a devilish smile like an angel.

Even if the pitcher injures the batter with a dead ball and they leave the game, you can just say, “Wow! So that’s the kind of sport baseball is!”

Everyone involved since the match was set up has been completely manipulated by this villager.

The feelings I have for baseball are incredibly pure, which makes it troublesome.

This manga is full of monsters!

Since it’s just a practice match, losing won’t result in any damage except for the mental aspect, right?

The risks of the elbow are already known.

I feel like I can finally understand the rules through baseball manga.

>>188

Does such an obscure rule appear in a baseball manga?

>>191

It’s hard to understand something like this.

>>194

Well, what are the rules that you were able to understand because of this manga…? Did you really understand the explanation of the infield fly?

A man who is likely to be involved in professional baseball in the future, not as a player, but in management or as an owner.

With a genius’s keen observation, I can see everything clearly, but all I see is one villager who is trying hard.

Is it so profound that even a genius’s insight can be deceived? The person has no malice or hostility at all and is purely acting with good intentions, but could they still be considered a villager…?

The person is saying this, but the opposing team ultimately strengthened their unity.

It turns out not everything is under my control after all.

>>192

To be honest, it’s us who would be troubled if Todoroki awakened.

If you avoid everything, there’s nothing you can do if you can’t strike it loud.

>>192

Amazing! As expected of a genius!

You can also practice when your arm gets revealed!

I thought I was missing something, but it turned out I knew about the elbow and didn’t understand what it was, so it didn’t work out.

There’s too much information in episode 1…!

When Inou walks briskly and when Kiriyama steps on the base with deep emotion.

I really love the part where Inou is having a subtle reaction to Kiriyama’s affection.

The dark black sun
