Diamond Ace: Another Story of Sawamura

·

"The game is over anyway, why don't you leave?" Mukai Taiyang turned his face away in boredom.

They came here specifically to watch Seidou's game. If Seidou loses, they will definitely mock them harshly.

If Qingdao wins, it won't bring shame to them...

Looking at Taiyang who kept asking why he wasn't leaving but was still sitting there, the others all understood the same thing and had no intention of leaving either.

"Since we're here, let's just watch today's game!"

“Maybe we’ll see something interesting.”

"People from Qingdao will probably stay to watch the game too!"

"Ah, we have to draw lots again. We don't even know who our opponent will be."

"I wonder if we'll run into anyone from Qingdao?"

"Why do you keep talking about Qingdao!" Mukai got angry immediately. He wanted to face him after he had already lost to him. Did he want to be humiliated?

"Aren't you very eager to meet that first-year pitcher?" Qian looked at him and asked.

"..." Mukai frowned, showing an unhappy expression, "Why should I get to know the pitcher of Qingdao..."

Everyone laughed when they saw that he was saying one thing and thinking another.

Isn't it obvious? After the freshman pitcher came on, Mukai became very quiet and rarely watched the game seriously.

"I need to go to the restroom..." Mukai became annoyed by the ambiguous looks from his seniors and looked away with the excuse of going to the restroom.

"If you don't seize the opportunity now, you may never have it again!"

"It's so noisy!" Xiangjing's face turned red.

"Hahaha!"

"But...!" Mukai's eyes widened with anger, and after taking two steps he saw a blue and white area.

"What's wrong?" Qian had just made way for Taiyang to go out, but he ended up standing there after taking only two steps.

"..."Everyone craned their necks to look back.

Facing the Qingdao group...

"Oh! Someone from Qingdao..."

"We really met!"

On this side of Qingdao...

"Ah, are you waving at us?" Haruichi looked at his seniors nervously, "Should we go over?"

"Go ahead." Chris said with a smile.

Even though the two opponents had just decided the outcome not long ago, they still had to get along peacefully after the game.

But Chris didn't expect that the players from Didong would be the first to signal. After all, they still felt more or less uncomfortable.

"Congratulations!"

It's true that I feel disgusted. No matter how magnanimous I am, when I meet a team that defeats me, sparks will inevitably fly.

After all, former enemies are always jealous of each other when they meet.

"Thank you!" Chris nodded to express his gratitude.

Although they only exchanged a few pleasantries, the atmosphere was somewhat relaxed.

Although the popularity of Koshien, which just ended a fierce competition, has not diminished, there have been some changes in the number of participants.

Because some people came specifically for the match between Qingdao and Seibon, but most people still stayed and prepared to watch the next two games.

Therefore, there are not many seats for Qingdao players to sit, and they are sparsely spaced.

Some people simply didn't even bother looking for a seat and just stood at the back.

"Sawamura-kun, please sit here!"

Rongchun, who was about to stand, was stopped by a third-year player from Teito.

"No, please sit down, Senior! I can do it."

"It's okay. You must be very tired after the competition." He said as he made room.

“…” It felt difficult to refuse, as they had already walked to the back. Eijun nodded to express his gratitude, “Thank you, senior! Furuya, you must be tired too!”

Speaking of being tired, Fūtani didn't even have a chance to play today, and there was no one to help him catch the ball later.

Therefore, his flames were everywhere, and he refused to sit down...

“I’m not tired at all!”

"Hehe..." Chun Shi also shook his head to indicate that he didn't need it either, as he would only be on the court for a short while.

"..." Looking at the future ace of Didong on the left, and then looking at the current ace of Didong on the right, Rongchun sighed quietly.

Seeing Senior Chris nodded, he sat down.

“Why do you keep wearing a mask?”

"because I like it."

"It's also very stuffy to wear during the competition, right?"

"got used to."

"Can I see what you look like?"

"why?"

“Because I’m curious!”

"..." As soon as Eijun sat down, Mukai asked a bunch of questions, "I thought you were going to ask about pitching."

"Before that, I want to see what kind of person the pitcher who defeated Narimiya Ming is."

'Sure enough...' This could also explain why he looked as if he was staring through him in the beginning.

When Mukai was in high school, he was very keen on defeating Narimiya Mei, who was the No. 1 left-handed pitcher in Kanto at the time, to prove that he was the No. 1 pitcher of this generation.

As a result, I have been preempted...

"Sawamura-kun."

"..." Rongchun looked back, he didn't expect this guy to come to him so quickly.

"The Catcher of Sibon."

The players from Teito and Qingdao all looked at Zi Juncao. He came over right after losing the game. Could he be here to cause trouble?

"What are you doing here?" Seeing this, Isashiki walked over with a ferocious look.

"Senior Jun..." Seeing this, Kuramochi quickly grabbed Isashiki.

"..."Chris and Miyuki didn't do anything. The catcher shouldn't do anything.

"line..." Although it seemed like it was a bad time, it didn't stop Zi from handing over the phone.

"Hmm..." Rongchun nodded, then picked up his gift bag to look for his cell phone.

"What? You want to add Line? I want to add one too!" Xiang Jing took out his cell phone.

"You're so eager to add to the line right after the game!" Isashiki really admires Zi's mentality. If it were someone else, they would be sad for a few days before they could recover.

"Sawamura is really popular." Ryosuke looked at his two catchers with a smile.

“……” The two catchers of Qingdao said that it was unnecessary and Sawamura would not be abducted like this.

·

"Today's third match of the three-round match is about to begin, Xiuyuekan vs. Songshang Academy. Due to the continued high temperature at the venue, please prepare to avoid the heat..."

"Sawamura-kun, you should be able to go directly to university after high school, right?" Zi saw that the addition was successful, closed the phone and asked.

"Yes!" Rongchun replied.

"You're only a first-year student now!" Xiang Jing looked at him with a bored expression, "There's no need to make a decision so hastily."

"The sooner you decide, the sooner you can prepare." Rongchun shrugged.

"Have you decided which university to go to?" Zi asked curiously with his hands in his pockets.

"Todai." Rongchun replied.

"Wow!" Mukai couldn't help but exclaimed when he heard the name, "Your goal is really high!"

"Todai!" The third-year seniors nearby also exclaimed when they heard it.

The admission rate of the University of Tokyo is extremely low, and poor students like them can't even think about it.

"You're too loud..." Rongchun said, pretending to dig his ear holes, "If you aim higher, it will be worthwhile to strive for it."

"Todai?" Chun Shi touched his chin in distress. It was extremely difficult to get into Todai. Most people would have to work very hard.

"But Eijun's grades are so good, it should be fine!"

"Well..." Rongjun raised his head and made an OK gesture, meaning that it should be okay.

"Are your grades really that good?" Mukai was a little skeptical.

Although there are some players in the baseball team with good grades, if you want to make it to the University of Tokyo, you need more than just good grades.

"Well enough..."

"Todai..." Furuya seemed to have heard of this name before, "Okay! I want to go to Todai too!"

"Ah!?" Haruichi looked at Furuya in confusion. What did he just hear? Was it because it was too noisy and he heard it wrong?

"Wow!" Mukai couldn't help but exclaim, "Are all the students on your team so good at studying?"

"..." Eijun looked up at Furuya, seeing his serious expression, "Todai Baseball Club does not have an internal promotion or sports specialty recommendation system."

"I'm not trying to discourage you, I just don't think that's likely." Haruichi patted Fūya's shoulder helplessly.

“Hahaha!” Eijun raised his head and laughed, “No matter how you look at it, Furutani will go straight to the professional baseball league!”

"So, you have no plans to play professional baseball?"

"Game start!"

As the referee announced the start of the game, the stadium became noisy again.

But the people around Zi fell silent.

"..." Eijun stopped laughing and shrugged again, "Who knows? Maybe he'll continue to fight?"

"As for you, I guess you won't fight after high school, right?"

"Who knows? Maybe they will continue fighting?" Zi shrugged and turned away.

"You two are so boring." Xiang Jing's eyes were filled with disdain, and his expression was full of disdain for the boredom of the two of them, "I'm leaving."

"Don't you want to know what I look like?" Eijun looked up at Mukai.

“Not interested anymore!”

"Sun..." Qian was kicked by the sun and made way. He signaled to his predecessors and stood up to follow.

'He's just not sober like a child...'

"..." Thinking of his father, Rong Chun also glanced at the received message, then closed his phone, 'It's exactly the same as what his father said.'

"I'm sorry..." Kageyama apologized to Sawamura on behalf of his junior after the two left, "That guy was too childish."

"Just a kid!" Rongchun laughed.

·

"What! Those two people!" Mukai punched and kicked the air like crazy and walked out of the field angrily.

“It’s so boring!”

On one hand, Mukai was shouting and attracting confused looks from passers-by, while on the other hand, Qian was apologizing to others.

"Why don't you be more certain and say you'll continue playing baseball in the future! You look like you can give up baseball at any time!"

"They are all so good! If I don't beat them, how can I prove that I am the No. 1 pitcher of this generation!"

Perfect ball control, various changeups, and above-average pitching.

Furthermore, it has its own characteristics and ultimate all-round development.

This is exactly what Mukai thinks a pitcher who can become the team's true ace looks like.

"Why are there all the guys I want?"

"That guy has no self-awareness at all!"

"asshole!"

"..." Qian just quietly watched the sun go crazy, watching him roaring and panting, "Do you care about him a lot?"

"I didn't!!!"
