Believing She Has Been Reincarnated into a Baseball Game, My Little Sister Is Aiming for the Koshien, While I Give It My All to Keep Her from Finding out That It’s Actually an Ntr Game - Chapter 69

In the dim space behind the dugout, I could feel the energy of the stadium pressing against my skin.

Top of the ninth, score: 1-0. We were ahead by just one run. It wasn’t likely that our lower batting lineup would score against their ace reliever.

In other words, it was up to me to hold the score at zero in the bottom of the ninth. If I could manage that—then we’d finally win the regional championship and head to Koshien.

This was the moment to fulfill my promise to Maika and Riko.

“Kyugo… How on earth are you at 126 pitches with zero runs after eight innings?”

Alone in the dugout, Maika clung to me, eyes glaring in playful frustration.

“It’s not like I can help it. I can’t get my control under control.”

“And why is that happening now, of all times…?”

She knew, didn’t she? She was trying to make me say it?

“It’s obvious, because my head’s full of thoughts about tonight with you!”

“…Perv.”

“I told you not to tease me like that! After eight tense innings like this, I’m bound to throw wild pitches! I can barely resist pinning you down right now and making you mine!”

“…Such a lewd mind.”

Seriously, it’s too much.

Right now, she’s in her “Golden Sexy Age” prime, at her absolute peak—a perfect “Diamond Sensual Moment.” From now until tonight would be the climax. My baby-making drive was at its max…! It was impossible to hide my excitement.

“Yeah, I get it. I’ve been restraining myself this whole time, too. We tried to keep kisses to a minimum to avoid going overboard…”

Exactly. That’s why even a little kiss to take the edge off was overwhelming. I had barely managed to keep my urges in check during the game. I was already exhausted.

But I would endure. I had to.

This would be our last summer, my last chance to show Maika the pitching she loves. I wanted to use the energy she gave me to deliver my best pitch.

“Watch me, Maika. I’m going to throw a pitch with everything I’ve got that’ll leave you drenched.”

“I’m already drenched. Soaked through.”

She was already drenched. Utterly soaked. Still as sensual as ever.

As I felt my excitement rise, causing a certain part of me to twitch, lightly tapping Maika’s soft stomach, we heard a knock on the dugout door.

Sakuramiya’s signal—it was time for Netora Academy’s last offensive to finish.

“Alright, Maika.”

“Yeah…”

We had perfected our technique for taking the edge off after countless tries. All it took was a quick kiss after a bit of time cuddling and building the mood while waiting for Sakuramiya’s signal.

Just as we leaned in, eyes narrowing, lips about to meet—

“Wait, Kyugo!”

Maika suddenly turned away, looking flustered.

“What’s wrong? We don’t have much time…”

“I know, but… I just… I don’t think we can go on like this… We’re about to fulfill our dream, finally be together, and yet…”

“You want to say something, don’t you? Don’t hold back. I’d rather clear up anything distracting before the big moment.”

Maika nodded, then, with a serious look, confessed.

“Kyugo… There’s one thing I’ve been lying to you about… I can’t marry you like this…”

“…”

Her eyes filled with tears, her face twisted in regret.

This wasn’t a trivial secret. It must’ve been something huge, something that could shake our relationship.

Could I accept such a confession from the woman I loved most in the world?

Of course, I would accept it.

I had vowed to love Maika forever.

“I said my areolas were baseball-sized, but I lied… They’re closer to softball-sized. Eight centimeters.”

“So sensual…!”

Close one. I almost lost control just from imagining that. Thank goodness it’s only eight centimeters. Barely manageable. Any bigger, and I wouldn’t have held back.

“Oh, sorry, I lied again. The right one is eight centimeters, but the left is 8.5.”

“That’s it, I can’t hold it anymore. Marry me now, Maika.”

“I will. I’ll have your baby. Kyugo’s baby.”

And so, I claimed Maika’s lips. Again and again.

1024 times. 1025 times. 1026 times.

――It had been 15 years of dreaming of Koshien with Maika. And 14 years since I first visited with Riko. So much had happened. Even our world had changed.

But no matter what, no matter where we were, Maika was always by my side. For her, for Riko, for our future kids—I would keep playing baseball.

How lucky am I? I can’t wait for tomorrow, to play baseball, and to show Maika, Riko, and our kids the best version of me.

“Kyugo… mm… slow down… you’re going too fast…”

I can finally say it now. I love baseball. I want to surpass Shohei Otani. I will surpass him. I’ll surpass him.

Which is why I can’t stop here. I won’t struggle in high school baseball. I’ll crush this game, win at Koshien, go pro, stand on the World Series stage, again and again—

So…

For sure!

My baseball career! No, our baseball career!

“Kyugo, I love you! I’ll always be your number one!”

Just getting started—bzzzt! Bzzt! Bzzzt… bzzzzzzzt!!
