Chapter 65: No Fun (2)

"Because it's fun." He answered. Yet the moment he said this aloud, a wave of understanding finally overcame him.

"That's right. We play the game of baseball because it is fun and we enjoy it. Those kids from Fujimi, you can see it in their faces… They're not having fun at all."

Ken's expression sank. What was baseball if it wasn't fun?

"So what do we do? I can't stand seeing kids miserable like this."

Coach Yoshida stifled a laugh. The situation itself wasn't funny, but seeing a teenager referring to those of his age as kids in such a tone felt a little too ironic to be ignored.

"I can't do anything about it, but maybe you can." He said, a mysterious smile forming at the corner of his lips.

"Huh? Me?" Ken was surprised. Originally he had thought that just beating this team may have an effect on them, however judging by their expressions, they may not even care if they lose.
