Diamond Ace: Another Story of Sawamura

·

"Wow!"

"Ah...Kuramochi!"

Eijun suddenly felt a shock all over his body and opened his eyes abruptly. Kuramochi was startled and stepped back reflexively and bumped into Miyuki who was behind him.

"So noisy..." Rongchun looked at the sky outside the window and slowly sat up, "What time is it now?"

I remember that after I sent Qingshui away and returned to the car, I suddenly felt that the noises around me became very noisy, and I fell asleep without realizing it.

"It's already past twelve o'clock..." Kuramochi saw Eijun frowning and looking uncomfortable, and approached him worriedly, "How do you feel?"

"We were thinking about how to get you to bed, or let you sleep in the car..." Yuki rubbed his bumped nose, "But, since you're awake..."

"I want some candy..." Rongchun felt around his body to see if he had any, then he turned his gaze towards Chris-senpai who was standing behind them.

"Here..." Chris, who had already prepared in advance, directly gave the unwrapped lollipop to Rongchun.

"Kuramochi, Miyuki, you two go and rest, I'll just watch over you."

"Ah...it's okay, I..."

"Let's go!" Seeing that Kuramochi wanted to stay, Miyuki grabbed the tactless Kuramochi and pulled him away, "What are you afraid of with Chris-senpai here?"

"He looks like he had a bad dream..." After getting off the car, Kuramochi was still a little worried and kept looking back.

"Don't worry!" Miyuki looked heartless, but he still whispered, "Every time Sawamura has a problem, it's always Chris-senpai who solves it..."

"..." Although he spoke quietly, Kuramochi heard it and looked at him with a sudden evil smile, "Miyuki, are you jealous?"

"Ha... No way..."

"Hehehe... shouldn't it be said that it's Chris-senpai who always solves the problem? Rather, it's that Sawamura would look for someone else instead of you!"

"You guy..."

Rong Chun was stunned for a while with the lollipop in his mouth, and then he slowly brewed the next sentence, "I'm hungry..."

"I've saved a portion for you to celebrate our victory."

"Really!" When Rong Chun heard that there was something delicious, his eyes lit up immediately. He almost rolled out of the car and called out to Chris anxiously, "Senior Chris, hurry up!"

"I'll go get ready, you have to take a shower first..." Looking at the child who just had a headache, Chris followed behind with amusement.

"Oh!"

Looking at the luxurious sushi plate that was arranged pleasingly, Rongchun clapped his hands together very solemnly and said, "I'm starting."

"Delicious!" Rong Chun puffed up his cheeks with satisfaction, looked at Chris who was drinking water, and then looked at his luxurious sushi plate. If it was someone else, he might be reluctant, "Chris, do you want to eat more?"

"No..." Chris refused the sushi that was pushed in front of him. "I've already eaten it. This is specially reserved for you."

“Then I’ll eat them all!”

“Eat…”

Since Senior Chris said it was not necessary, Rongchun naturally took care of this luxurious sushi feast. After eating and drinking his fill, he collapsed on the table with satisfaction.

"..." Looking at Rongchun who was enjoying himself with his eyes narrowed, Chris felt shaken, "Rongchun... go back to your room and rest..."

"Hmm..." Rong Chun responded lazily, but just changed his position and continued to lie down.

"..." Seeing Rongchun so lazy for the first time, Chris smiled helplessly, stood up and walked behind him, "Get up, go back to your room and sleep!"

"Chris, Senior..."

"Um..."

"We won..."

"Yup!"

"Is Chris-senpai happy?"

"Of course I am happy!"

"Then why do you still look so worried?"

"..." Chris was about to grab Rong Chun's hand, but then he paused, slowly retracted it, and finally exhaled heavily, "Rong Chun..."

"Ok?"

"I always hope that you can play baseball happily, enjoy the fun of baseball, and trust your teammates..."

"But I have always ignored your wishes, Eijun... Do you like baseball?"

"..." Rongchun opened his eyes and looked at Senior Chris who was sitting beside him with his hands clenched and a look of self-blame on his face, "I like baseball and want to play baseball forever. Do you think Senior Chris thinks that I am forced to play baseball by you..."

"..." Chris looked at Rongchun's smiling face, but his heart ached. "Then tell me honestly, for you... is playing baseball happy? Are you happy?"

"..." Rongchun was silent and looked away, "Once..."

The ignorant self might laugh and say loudly: "I am very happy and very happy!"

Later...why didn't it happen anymore?

"So...what now?"

"..." Rongchun was silent again, or perhaps his silence was an answer to this question.

"Don't be silent!!!" Isashiki suddenly yelled...

"!" Eijun was so scared that he jumped up from the table. He looked at Isashiki-senpai who rushed in and was picked up when he rushed in front of him.

"Why are you pretending to be so profound!" Isashiki opened his bloody mouth and yelled at Eijun, "Man, why are you dithering? Just tell me the future!"

"Ah Chun, the atmosphere just now was very serious..."

"Ugga!"

Yuuki and Masuko suddenly appeared behind Isashiki and looked at Eijun seriously, "So, what's your answer?"

"Uh...that..." Rong Chun was so shocked that he couldn't make any sound for a long time.

"A-Jun, they're all scared by you!" Ryosuke appeared behind Isashiki, patted him and let go of Eijun, "I just came out to use the bathroom, but I didn't expect to see you two, one asking for a beating and the other crying. What's wrong with you? I'm injured and can't play, but I'm more promising than you, okay?"

"..." He punched Rongchun, thinking about how to understand this meaning...

"..." Chris blushed, but he didn't cry...

Then the four of them sat side by side in front of the two of them. Masuko looked amiable, Yuuki looked dignified, Isashiki looked ferocious, and Ryosuke looked kind...

I don't know why... Chris and Eijun's side became serious...

"Sawamura-chan likes baseball, right?"

"You want to keep playing baseball, right?"

"Playing baseball used to be fun!"

"It turns out that Sawamura isn't happy at all playing baseball with us!"

“……”Why did it change when it came to Ryosuke?

"From now on!" Isashiki slammed the table, stood up and walked in front of Eijun, "I will definitely make you feel happy playing baseball again!"

"Sawamura-chan, let's go to Koshien together!" Masuko anxiously pulled Isashiki down.

"What can make you feel happy playing baseball?" For someone as naive as Yuki, no one could possibly give the answer to this question.

"Tell me you're happy." Liangjie threatened directly.

"..." Really amused by these people, Rongjun propped up his chin and said softly as if inadvertently: "Maybe... if I win the championship in Koshien, I will be a little happier playing baseball."

"..." Everyone was stunned when they heard this. This answer was really unexpected, or maybe it was expected...

"You kid...our goal was to win the championship!"

"We have only one goal, which is to dominate the country!"

"Ugh!!!"

"Besides the championship, the rest all mean something else..."

"It's so easy to appease..." Looking at the few people whose fighting spirit was ignited, Rong Chun supported his chin with his palm, put his fingers against his nose to cover his mouth, and smiled secretly.

"..." Chrisco, who was sitting next to him, heard it, but when he saw the light in his eyes, he pretended not to hear it.

Isashiki, Yuki, Masuko, Ryosuke...their appearance may have just resolved the tension between the two of them, and now the atmosphere has become relaxed.

"You little brat! I'll make you say for sure that playing baseball is fun! Just clean your neck and wait!"

"Isashiki-senpai, do you want me to play baseball happily, or do you want me to die..."

"Stop making so much noise! ​​Go to the court now!"

"Don't the seniors need to sleep?"

"Why are you sleeping? I don't want to sleep at all now!"

"But I want to sleep..."

"Sleep..." Isashiki instantly quieted down and sat down again, "Why are you staying up late, kid? Go to bed!"

"Oh!" Rongchun smiled and looked at Senior Chris, "I'm going to rest now."

"Yeah!" Chris smiled softly.

"I went back to sleep too..."

Masuko helped Eijun put away the dishes, signaled to them, and left together.

"..." After they left for a while, Chris let out a sigh of relief and thanked the remaining three people, "Thank you! You came at the right time..."

"Ah!" Isashiki just yawned and looked at Chris in confusion, "That kid becomes crazy when he wakes up, why do you become sensitive when he wakes up?"

"..." Chris smiled helplessly, but his smile was a little bitter, "Rongchun, he has a lot of things in his heart and doesn't want to tell others..."

"Chris..." Ryosuke suddenly came to a conclusion and looked at him with a smile, "Just like a neurotic mother who worries too much about her children."

"Well, Chris is a qualified female housekeeper." Yuki nodded in agreement with Ryosuke's statement.

"She is simply a model for female housekeepers." Isashiki said there was nothing to fault with her.

"Hehe..." Chris was stunned for a moment and then laughed. This seemingly teasing remark was a great recognition to him.

"Chris..." Izashiki felt that he was somewhat relaxed, and said to him with certainty: "Even if Sawamura has a lot of things on his mind and doesn't even want to tell you, it cannot be denied that you are the person he trusts the most!"

"Yes!" Yuki completely agreed with Isashiki's point of view.

"Hehe..." Ryosuke smiled to show his agreement.

"Take a rest tomorrow and have a good sleep!"

On the other side, Zengzi directly sent Rongchun to bed, then lay back on her own bed and fell asleep in a second...

"..." Listening to the even breathing of Masuko-senpai and Kuramochi-senpai, Eijun gradually felt sleepy and slowly drooped his tired eyelids.

"If only I could continue to have that dream, then... I could see you..."
