Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

With the number one hundred and eighty next to it, even Mihara Akizo's face became cute. The scouts and reporters stood up in an instant, their fiery eyes moving back and forth between the screen and Hojo Kyosuke.

What’s even more exciting is that whether in the game just now or in the training video, Hojo Kyosuke’s pitching posture is exactly the same.

"Stability" is the most outstanding quality!

Being able to stably display dominant strength is a treasure among treasures.

The manager of the Tokyo Yakult Swallows looked at Hojo Kyosuke, his throat moving, and he wanted to say something but couldn't say it for a long time.

Damn it!

During his long career, he has recruited countless talented players for the team, but he has never encountered such a difficult situation as the current one.

Recruiting players is nothing more than luring them with benefits. For high school students who like money, he can directly offer high salaries and compete with other teams cleanly and neatly. For those who still want to continue studying, he can directly call the Waseda University Academic Affairs Office and ask them to accept them directly, so that the players can train and study university courses at the same time;

For those who love family, he can let the team's affiliated companies help the players' families do better business, or simply recruit them into the company; for ambitious people, he can use the relationship between the team and MLB to lure them, list detailed and effective training programs and career plans, and guarantee that they will definitely enter MLB...

No matter how weird the genius' temper is, he is confident that he can convince the other party. He has ten thousand methods waiting, and there is always a suitable bait, unless other teams offer more favorable conditions.

But Hojo Kyosuke...

Looking at the big boy sitting in front of the conference table and the humble and warm smile on his face, the coach of the Tokyo Yakult Swallows only felt a sense of powerlessness from the bottom of his heart.

Money? Hojo Kyosuke, who was just in his first year of high school, could buy a car by appearing on a TV show. He could get enough money from the publisher to buy a house by sitting at his desk and writing for a few hours. In this case, what was the point of having more money? For a 16- or 17-year-old boy, this was enough for him to enjoy.

Fame? Even managers who don't read comics or mystery novels can hear the name of Hojo Kyosuke from their family and colleagues. Not to mention the star players on his team, even the fans that the entire team has accumulated over the years are not even one-tenth of Hojo Kyosuke's.

Future? On the way here, he had read Hojo Kyosuke's information. It was not difficult to find. Just search on the Internet. The resourceful netizens even found out that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Eighth Division invited Hojo Kyosuke to be a special trainer. There were also rumors that the bigwigs of the Metropolitan Police Department were looking forward to Hojo Kyosuke's graduation from the University of Tokyo. Is there a brighter future than this?

Powerless...

The manager felt powerless, and he looked at the scout of the Hokkaido Ham Fighters with some envy. This guy at least had his hometown card to play. After all, it was obvious to the naked eye that Hojo Kyosuke was very good to the people around him, otherwise he wouldn't have led such a group of weaklings to play baseball.

Anyone who has been able to survive in this noisy society for so many years, except those who are lucky and have a good family background, will not have any flaws in IQ. What the manager can figure out, other people can figure out as well.

Ham Fighters scout Saito Jun, while praising Hojo Kyosuke's exaggerated strength, immediately played the emotional card and asked if there was anyone in the Hojo family back home who liked baseball.

Needless to say, of course there are. Hojo Kyosuke's grandfather and his next-door neighbor, old man Yagi Kazumasa, are typical Showa old men. Besides shoveling cow dung, they watch baseball games and drink. Needless to say, the team they support is the Ham Fighters. There is no other way. There is only this one team in that place, and it fled to Hokkaido because it could not compete with the Yomiuri Giants in the Tokyo area.

So he just said it with a smile.

"Ah! What a coincidence!"

Saito Jun shouted in surprise, and his happy expression was not fake at all:

"I'll have the staff in Sapporo send some tickets to your house later, whether it's a baseball game or a football game. No, do you want to visit our team? At this time, Otani is also training with the team. Oh, that's Otani Shohei. Have you heard of Hojo? He inherited our team's ace jersey and joined our Ham Fighters.

The situation back then was a bit similar to the current one. Although he was not as good as you, Otani was also a talented teenager, and many teams competed for him. But in the end, it was our team's sincerity that moved him, and now we have such a result. "

Yes, although they were weak before, with the addition of Shohei Ohtani, the Japanese baseball tomorrow flower, the Ham Fighters have achieved the best results in team history for several consecutive years. This is the bonus of a talented player to the team, which can be said to be a complete transformation. This also makes them more enthusiastic about Hojo Kyosuke, especially since this is a genius from Hokkaido, which is even more important for them to increase their influence in Hokkaido.

The sincerity of Hojo Kyosuke's cooperative questioning convinced Shohei Otani, the supernova who would have illuminated the entire Neon if he had not appeared.

"Hahaha, it's a 30-page career planning book!"

Saito Shun laughed loudly and said proudly:

"We all know that geniuses like you and Otani will never stop at Japan in the future. The American League is where you should conquer."

I think that the MLB scouts have probably already boarded their planes to Neon! Their pride is worthless in front of your 175-speed pitch. They will soon kneel at your feet in the most pious manner, begging you to lead their team to victory! "

Hojo Kyosuke found this somewhat strange. Why did this guy seem to be speaking from the perspective of his agent?

"But just like our coach Hideki Kuriyama said to Otani, you still have a lot of potential to tap, and we, the Hokkaido-Ham Fighters, will assist you wholeheartedly! So that you can land in North America with a stronger attitude and conquer the people there! Seize the victory!!"

Then this guy took out his notebook, found the 30-page career plan that the team had tailored for Shohei Ohtani and handed it to Tetsuta Kisaki.

"This is our team's promise to Otani-kun, who has a speed of 160, and to you, Hojo-kun, the one and only miracle on earth!"

When Saito Jun pronounced the word "miracle", he almost squeezed out all the air in his lungs.

"The owner and coach of our Hokkaido-Ham Fighters have authorized me to double the salary! Five times, ten times is fine! As long as you can give us a chance to assist you in moving forward, we can increase it tenfold according to the treatment given to Otani! We only hope that in the future when you create a legend and people spread your name, they will remember that your career started with Hokkaido-Ham Fighters!

So that when we recruit new players in the future, we can proudly tell them: the Hojo who conquered the American League came from our Hokkaido Ham Fighters. If you train hard, you may be able to receive his guidance in the future. "

After he finished speaking, he looked at Hojo Kyosuke with a sincere expression, and the people in baseball uniforms on his mobile phone screen all looked expectant, except for a man with chubby cheeks who looked a little embarrassed.

This guy actually made a video call to the team and asked all the players to help show their sincerity. And the fat man was none other than the Japanese baseball Asuka Shohei Otani.

Although he felt a little uncomfortable being constantly brought up as an example, when faced with a "miracle" of 175 or even 180, he really didn't dare to say a word. This was really powerful.

Tetsuta Kisaki next to him simply ignored the chatter here and was concentrating on looking at Shohei Otani's career plan.

Even someone as insidious and demanding as he was had to admit that, just as Saito Jun had said before, the reason why their Ham Fighters were able to stand out from all the teams and win Shohei Otani was all because of their sincerity.

Not to mention the maximum salary, they are giving Ohtani Shohei a chance to grow without considering the team's victory or defeat. Medical care, training... all the details are reflected in the plan, and there are almost no restrictions on the players themselves, which is really a mess. If this standard is increased tenfold... what will happen, will you, the Ham Fighters, still be able to survive? Do you have to fire everyone else and directly recruit the Sobu High School baseball team?

Hojo Kyosuke didn't even look at it, but cooperated with an expression of being touched, and smiled and greeted Saito Jun's phone:

"Otani-kun? Hello, I'm your fan!"

Shohei Otani over there squeezed his fat face into a smile. At this time, he was still far from being as round as he had been after going to North America to gain weight, but his face was not thin at all, otherwise he would not have such strong power.

Waving his hand awkwardly, he also said:

"Hehe... Hello to you too, Mr. Hojo. I'm also your fan. I read every issue of your comics!"

Fans meet fans, and they strike out when they meet, right?

Saito Shun did not go too far and hung up the phone after a while, continuing to stare at Hojo Kyosuke with his sincere eyes.

Hojo Kyosuke grinned and said helplessly:

"I can't give you an accurate answer at the moment. As you know, it's very difficult for me to maintain my studies while still creating. Sometimes I have to take leave, otherwise I won't be able to socialize with readers and magazines."

Tetsuta Kisaki continued, "Even when Hollywood invited Hojo-kun to direct a movie, he didn't have time. It was only after the producer begged him repeatedly that he managed to squeeze out some time."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Bargaining is almost ingrained in his bones, even though his eldest brother probably wouldn't play baseball.

"Yes, and our dear Hojo-kun wants to fight his way into Koshien with everyone!"

Ryota Tsuchiya said loudly. Compared to the kitten principal next to him who was worried that Hojo Kyosuke would be stolen away, he was not worried at all, because he knew that his dear Ticket Master would not give up his rosy campus life with Miss Yamauchi, Miss Nishimiya, and Miss Yukinoshita.

Neon professional baseball? American major leagues?

Just floating clouds, worthless in the face of youth and passion!

"Oh right! And you too!"

Saito Jun suddenly raised his voice:

"Is your name Shigeru Tsuchimura? Your performance on the field just now was also very exciting. Do you have any plans to play professional baseball? If possible, you can form a partner with Hojo-kun and compete in the league together!"

"Really?! Can someone like me really do this? What position do I play? As a catcher, I really don't have the ability to catch Hojo-kun's balls. As an outfielder, I don't have much confidence in my speed. As a batter, my best result is hitting a ball 145, and that was Hojo-kun's way of making me happy!"

Tsuchiya Ryota's eyes sparkled:

"But I've always thought I might be a baseball genius. After all, there's no reason why my sister is a genius and I'm such a loser, right? As expected, Scout Saito, did you see my potential?

Hahahaha, I’m going to play professional baseball too! Yay!!”

This guy stood up and trotted over to sit next to Saito Jun.

Principal Kitty of Sobu High School shook his head, feeling that his family was in misfortune.

Hojo Kyosuke was about to continue refusing when he suddenly remembered that there was a football team nearby. Why didn't the manager speak for so long?

The manager of the Tokyo Yakult Swallows felt exhausted. Every time Saito Jun mentioned Shohei Ohtani's name, he felt depressed. If you ask why, it was because he was also an active pursuer at the beginning, and the first time Shohei Ohtani started as a pitcher after joining the Ham Fighters, he played against the Yakult Swallows.

How can I describe my sorrow in this situation?

He looked at the Sobu High School baseball captain who was bribed in an instant, and felt that he had seen the scene of Hojo Kyosuke crushing his own team after joining the Ham Fighters.

No! You can't do this!

The manager slammed the table and stood up abruptly, saying loudly:

"Hojo-kun! If you are willing to join us, Tokyo Yakult Swallows, I promise to let you finish your high school studies freely. During these three years, we will never interfere with your training or study, and you can arrange everything by yourself. But if you need any help, we will agree unconditionally!"

“…”

silence

The reporters who had been quietly recording the Ham Fighter's moves all looked at the unknown manager in shock. What did he mean by that? He didn't want to ask Hojo Kyosuke to fight, and he was just paying for him?

Tetsuta Kisaki was also shocked and asked hesitantly:

"What is the term of the contract?"

“Three years!”

The Yakult manager said categorically:

"It won't end until Hojo-kun graduates from high school!"

"hiss……"

So cruel?!

Even a ruthless person like Xisaki couldn't help but gasp.

Hojo Kyosuke blinked his eyes and agreed without hesitation. He loved getting something for free.

Isn't this treating him like a nuclear weapon? (End of this chapter)
