Chapter 110

Short Summary
Sugadaira gets two strikes, but manages to stay in the game on the third one.

Long Summary
The Secretary is surprised to see Sugadaira is being allowed to hit and calls out to the Owner. If Sugadaira gets put out, they can get some money back from Tokuchi. The Secretary supposes Tokuchi isn’t satisfied with his 730 million yen which is why he’s taking such a risk. With the 20x rate, Sugadaira will lose him 333 million yen, or 666 million if he hits into a double play.

Sugadaira wipes his tears while the crowd boo him and prepares to bat. Yoshikawa throws an outside slider and gets a strike. Saikawa laughs ecstatically. He gets another strike on the second pitch with an inside fastball. Sugadaira has not even swung. He calls a time out and Tokuchi is pleased at seeing him so panicked. Saikawa leaves his office to take a call and asks the Secretary to keep a replay of Sugadaira losing.

Sugadaira silently prays to God, ‘please, let me live,’ and Tokuchi suddenly shouts to him that there is no God, and He can’t help him. The only one who can save Sugadaira is himself.

Saikawa finishes his phone call and asks to see the replay of Sugadaira losing, but the Secretary informs him he’s scored a run. The Lycaons now lead 8-3.
