The Old Gentleman and Mejiro McQueen
In the sixth game of the Japan Series, McQueen was devastated due to her favorite team's overwhelming defeat by the opposing team. Then, an old gentleman who have built a huge franchise chain from being penniless at the age of 65 appeared in front of McQueen, who then given her an encouragement, and McQueen regained her hope for the final game.
Orix is so strong... I watched the sixth game and drew a rough sketch, and when the seventh game started the next day, they won by a landslide, and I was half in awe while working. I felt like my story was a miss, but it's a happy occasion, so it's okay.
Congratulations! Hanshin is the best in Japan!
By the way, it's a coincidence that I've been acting like a chicken recently.
