Junta was bored. He'd had almost no sweets at lunch, and his energy was low, and he wasn't really that motivated to listen to this speech after he felt like he'd let his team and Kazu down during that game against Nishiura. The last time he'd been in this auditorium, he'd been thinking that they would make it to the best-eight easily, that they could even take Koushien again that year, and then it had taken three innings against that team of first years before he woke up and started really playing.

Junta shifted in his chair, stretching his legs out under the seat in front of him, and nudged shoulders with the guy sitting next to him. He hoped another bad joke would be quick in coming, because seeing who laughed at those things always got Junta to join in ( ... )
