Diamond Ace: Another Story of Sawamura

·

After resting for a while, Rongchun felt his stomach was better, so he slowly stood up and walked out.

There was no one outside, but there were two hounds. When Rong Chun opened the door, the two hounds stared at him.

"..." Looking at the two people sitting at the door, Rongchun silently looked towards the end of the corridor.

I guess they are going to do something...

"..." He gently touched his stomach, which hurt when he moved a little, and looked at the two hounds, "Are you hungry?"

The two hounds showed no reaction...

"Would you like something to eat?" He said as he walked out of the room and headed towards the corridor.

As soon as Rongchun took a step out of the door, two hounds quickly blocked his way.

"..." Rongchun looked at them, then looked to the end of the corridor and took a step forward.

"Mmmm..."

They then issued warning sounds and even lowered their bodies to make attacking gestures, which showed that their master had given the order not to let them leave.

"..." Rongchun stopped moving again. After a moment of silence, he walked forward regardless of the danger of being attacked.

"Uluru..."

As Rongchun walked forward step by step, the growl became more dangerous, but he was slowly retreating with his steps.

Their master had ordered them not to let him leave, but also to protect him. The current situation was that they could only warn but not attack.

"..." Rongchun didn't understand them and continued to walk forward stubbornly, "The sound... is coming..."

From the hall came the sound of music, mixed with conversation and laughter; everything seemed normal.

This banquet is also a good thing for many people.

In addition to the big gangs in the eight districts, this banquet also invited small gangs that have always been below the big gangs or some small gangs that are at the bottom.

This is a rare opportunity for them.

"..." However, Rongchun does not think that a true merger can be achieved...

There have always been conflicts between gangs, and the so-called peace has never really existed.

It is because of everyone's own thoughts that the current situation has developed.

Even if it succeeds, the key is how to make those cunning old foxes really convinced.

What they will do is to give a satisfactory explanation to the leader and make the bosses submit to the family obediently.

"Not here..." Glancing around the hall, Rong Chun discovered that the bosses and their second-in-commands were not there.

The puppy, the butterfly, and the madman are not here either...

However, when he knew that this merger party was going to be held, Rongchun had already figured out every corner of the ship in advance.

There is no second...

"So, the puppy even specially decorated the kitchen..."

Although Rongchun didn't ask why, could it be that in the kitchen he could appreciate the chefs' skills up close?

'It shouldn't be that simple...' Not even he believed it, Rongchun looked back at the two hounds sitting behind him, then turned around and walked away again.

However, he didn't know at that time...

The more I want to do something at this moment, the more it goes against my position. I shouldn't make such a wrong decision.

He regretted...

·

Like the silence deep in an ice cave...

The shock caused by the scene before him made him regret that he should not have come here.

The three men and the bosses sat around a round table. In front of them was a feast, and everyone had a different expression.

Eijun stood in the doorway in a dilemma, both his body and his mind wanted to escape, but everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Some people saw him appear and even showed expressions of relief, as if his appearance had saved their lives.

He saw that Miss Shimada Ayako, who was vomiting due to seasickness, remained calm in this situation.

"..." Puppy's calm gaze fell on Rongchun, with a relaxed smile on his face, and gestured to the maid, "Get ready."

"Yes."

"The bosses shouldn't mind having one more person, right?" Xiao Gou asked the big guys apologetically.

"No...no problem..."

"Young Master arranged..."

With almost no courtesy, Rongchun was invited to the table by another maid.

"..." Rong Chun walked slowly towards the prepared position with heavy steps. His body was stiff due to fear, and it felt like a heavy burden, making it difficult for him to breathe.

During this time, his eyes were always on the man who attacked him.

He was placed in the middle of the round table...

Rongchun walked to the seat next to the puppy, sat down tremblingly, and looked at the feast in front of him.

Right in front of the puppy...

He was the instigator of this alliance rebellion, and was also one of the people who split away due to conflicts between family gangs more than ten years ago.

The head of the leader of the rally, Takeo Kimura...

Rongchun didn't dare to look at the others. He just looked at Kimura Takeo in front of him, and the sounds of knife and fork colliding with plate and chewing echoed in his ears.

"..." He suddenly felt his stomach twitch, until someone made a retching sound.

"vomit..."

Rongchun stood up suddenly, turned around, pulled down his mask, leaned over the sink and vomited.

"vomit..."

Silence spread once again, and the bosses' faces turned pale almost instantly. Some of them lowered their heads and bit their lips tightly.

They just hope that no one throws up at the table...

Some people frowned and looked at Rong Chun who was lying on the sink, while others glanced nervously at the puppy, butterfly and madman.

“…” Rong Chun couldn’t believe it. After what he had experienced on the battlefield, he actually vomited in such a situation.

He nervously looked at the puppy from the side, only to see the puppy looking at him coldly with a gloomy face, and then turned his head away.

"Just a small incident, let's continue eating!" Butterfly just said lightly, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

“…” The madman stood up and walked to Rong Chun, handed him a handkerchief, and looked down at him condescendingly.

"..." After a moment, Rong Chun pretended to be calm and sat back in his seat. He knew that since he had already taken the seat, he could not leave halfway.

He didn't eat a single bite of this meal. He sat in his seat in shock, enduring the severe pain in his stomach.

He had felt the feeling that every day passed like a year, but never like now, when he felt that every minute and every second seemed to last a century.

Gradually, I felt that the environment became darker and darker, until it became pitch black.

He fainted while sitting upright...

When he woke up again, he had been sleeping in a hospital bed for two days, with the two hounds beside him.

The place where he was hit caused internal bleeding as Xiao Gou said, and one of his lowest ribs was fractured. Fortunately, the important internal organs were avoided, but the injury on the back was a bit serious, and the recovery time would be longer than expected.

He didn't know what happened after that, he just vaguely heard some sounds.

But now, even though he had nowhere else to go, he ran away...

I've never felt he was so scary as I do now...

I have never been so aware of my own weakness as I am now...

Where can I go now...

"Sawamura-senpai..."

"..." Rongchun turned around and looked at the ball walking behind him, but did not respond.

"Is that Sawamura-senpai?"

"..." Rongchun was silent for a moment before nodding his head in response and whispered, "Why are you still training so late?"

"I..." Murakami walked in front of Sawamura, his eyes suddenly turned red and he choked up, "I'm...I'm sorry..."

"Hmm?" Eijun looked at Murakami strangely. He hadn't been to Qingdao for more than half a month, so there shouldn't be anything wrong. "What's wrong?"

"I'm sorry!" Murakami couldn't hold back his tears and apologized desperately, "Sawamura-senpai, I'm sorry!"

"..." Although Rong Chun was confused, he still stepped forward to wipe the child's tears, "What happened?"

"sorry!"

"Is your pitching performance bad? It's okay, I'll help you!"

"That day... I..." Murakami looked up at Sawamura with sobs, "I heard... what Sawamura-senpai and the supervisors said..."

"..." Rong Chun looked at him quietly. That day should be the time when he talked with the supervisory directors in the rest area.

"So...Sawamura-senpai has been doing things I don't want to do because of me..."

"..." I didn't seem to say such words. Was this the expression on my face at that time?

"Because I...have been bothering Sawamura-senpai..."

"..." Rong Chun was puzzled when he heard it, but he didn't feel troubled. This was his own fault...

"I didn't know... pitching was such a painful thing for Sawamura-senpai... I'm sorry!"

"..." Rong Chun was stunned and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say...

"sorry!"

“……” Looking at the little pitcher who was crying out of breath, he slowly walked forward and hugged the child in his arms.

I was so sad and blamed myself for doing something painful...

"Thank you."

Such a kind-hearted child should not become so timid and inferior. His face should show an expression that is more suitable for him.

"Sawamura-senpai..." Feeling the power of the hug, Murakami was stunned as he looked at Sawamura who was trembling slightly.

This is the man he respects, he plays baseball because of him, and his posture on the pitcher's mound is what he strives to achieve.

"I don't feel any pain pitching with you." This was Rongjun's sincere words. He smiled gently and looked at the stadium of his alma mater.

"I feel from you the sincerity I felt when I first started playing baseball."

“……” Murakami looked at Sawamura’s profile, and both of them fell silent.

After a long time, Sawamura said softly.

"I'm leaving..."

"..." Murakami seemed to have anticipated this, and he was unexpectedly calm, "Will we... meet again?"

"Yes..." Because I won't let you become like me.

"Sawamura-senpai...will you come back..." Will he come back to the court? Murakami hesitated for a moment but still didn't ask.

"No..." Because I already said I had decided to give up baseball.

"..." For a moment, Murakami couldn't hold back his tears, lowered his head and cried, "Sawamura-senpai...can you please not give up baseball..."
