"Hey! Nobita, let's go play baseball at the empty lot by the river later. There's an important game today, and you can participate.
But if you make us lose, I won't let you off easily!"
After school, Gian put aside their earlier conflict and found Nobita. He patted him heavily on the shoulder, his eyes carrying an unmistakable threat.
It was obvious—if Nobita refused, a fist the size of a sandbag would be waiting for him.
"Gian, I have to go home and do my homework today, so I can't participate…"
Nobita instinctively stepped back, looking nervous.
Play baseball?
Last time they lost by twenty points, and everyone blamed him, saying it was entirely his fault.
But he had only missed about a dozen points—not twenty!
They always pinned everything on him.
"Hahaha, Nobita, don't joke around. You? Going home to do homework?" Suneo sneered mercilessly.
"You can't even lie properly. I think you just don't want to play with us."
"Nobita!" Gian cracked his knuckles.
Facing Gian's intimidation, Nobita didn't dare refuse.
Just then, Shizuka and Nobi Hiroshi walked out of the classroom.
An idea suddenly formed in Nobita's mind.
Since they were going to play baseball, why not invite Hiroshi?
If Hiroshi couldn't play well, wouldn't he embarrass himself?
And if Shizuka came to watch… maybe she'd lose interest in Hiroshi.
Wouldn't that be perfect?
"Gian, aren't we short on players? Why not invite another classmate? I think Hiroshi is pretty good. His baseball skills must be decent. It'll also strengthen our friendship."
A sly smile appeared on Nobita's face as he pointed at Hiroshi.
"Nobita, that's not a bad suggestion," Gian nodded. "Let's go ask him."
The two walked over and blocked Hiroshi and Shizuka's path.
"Gian, what do you want?" Hiroshi asked calmly.
"There's something important," Gian said, unusually polite.
"Hiroshi, would you like to join our baseball team? We just happen to need someone like you."
His tone was respectful—something Nobita had never experienced before.
Nobita clenched his teeth in frustration. Why wasn't Gian threatening him this time?!
"Baseball team?" Hiroshi looked slightly surprised.
Through the gap between Gian and Suneo, he noticed Nobita's barely concealed grin.
Ah. So that was it. He probably wanted to see me embarrass myself.
Well, Nobita guessed correctly—Hiroshi had never played baseball before.
But that didn't mean he lacked athletic ability.
As long as he understood the rules, he could pick it up quickly.
"Alright, Gian. I'd be happy to join. Thanks for inviting me."
A faint smirk tugged at Hiroshi's lips as he glanced at Nobita.
"Great! We'll meet at the empty lot by the river. Don't be late!"
Nobita's eyes sparkled with excitement.
Finally.
He would get to see Hiroshi make a fool of himself.
Soon, the group gathered at the riverside empty lot.
The opposing team hadn't arrived yet, so there was time to prepare.
Hiroshi pulled Shizuka aside to sit on the grass.
"What?! Hiroshi, you don't play baseball? Then why did you agree to join—mm!"
Shizuka's eyes widened in shock.
Hiroshi quickly covered her mouth.
"Shh, keep your voice down. I just don't know the rules. As long as you explain them, I'll manage."
"Then… let go of me first," Shizuka mumbled shyly.
Hiroshi withdrew his hand.
"Alright, tell me."
Blushing slightly, Shizuka explained the basic rules of baseball. Though she didn't play, she had watched many games and understood the fundamentals.
Hiroshi listened attentively.
He lightly held her hand as she spoke. She gave a tiny protest, but didn't pull away entirely.
Under the blue sky and drifting clouds, with the breeze brushing over the grass, Shizuka's cheeks turned faintly pink.
After memorizing the essentials, Hiroshi stood up.
"I'm going to play."
"Mm. I'll cheer for you."
Sitting with her legs tucked together, chin resting on her knees, Shizuka looked worried.
It wasn't about the game.
She was afraid Gian would beat Hiroshi if he performed poorly.
"Here, Hiroshi. You're the first batter. Show the spirit of our team!"
Gian handed him the bat.
"No problem."
Hiroshi stepped into position.
"Is this really okay…? It's his first time playing, and he's batting…"
Shizuka furrowed her brows anxiously.
If he struck out, Gian would definitely explode.
"Hehehe… first batter, huh? This'll be interesting."
At shortstop, Nobita grinned mischievously.
Based on experience, the first batter often faced the most pressure.
If Hiroshi failed badly, Gian's anger would be directed at him.
And Nobita, safely at shortstop, wouldn't take the blame.
Everything was unfolding exactly as planned.
He imagined Shizuka being disappointed in Hiroshi.
The future seemed perfectly aligned.
Lost in his smug fantasy, Nobita forgot one very important detail.
As shortstop—
He couldn't catch the ball at all.
