Diamond Ace: Another Story of Sawamura

Chapter 32: 3rd Grade Fielding Practice

·

The fourth day of training...

Under the adjustment of senior Chris, the training volume of Furuya and Koharu has been reduced to a certain extent, and they have shifted their focus to technical training.

"Sawamura! Defend faster!"

"Run faster! You always seem to be doing it with ease!"

"Pay attention when you're on guard!"

What puzzled Eijun was, 'Why did my training volume increase? Am I acting too relaxed?'

Rongchun, who was oppressed by a group of seniors, looked very pitiful in everyone's eyes, but no one dared to say anything, after all, this was the instruction of the supervisor Chris.

As the instigator, Miyuki hid aside and laughed unscrupulously at Rongjun who was being stared at without even a moment to stop.

After nearly three hours of non-stop defensive practice, Rong Chun thought that things would get a little easier, but in the end he didn't even have time to rest.

"Sawamura-kun, you will be the feeder in the batting cage next. You are only allowed to throw straight balls. Hurry up!"

“…Yes.” Honestly, the assistant coach’s calm announcement immediately killed any urge on Rongjun’s part to slack off.

He looked pitifully at Senior Chris for help, but Chris simply turned his head away and pretended not to see him. Rongjun had no choice but to walk towards the batting box obediently.

"Hahaha... Sawamura, you have really good physical strength! You can even be a pitcher!" Miyuki also added fuel to the fire at this time, "You are worthy of it!"

"Miyako-senpai's way of caring for the younger generation is really unique!" Eijun gave a murderous look to this guy who looked like he was here to laugh at him.

"It's my duty! I still love my junior very much!" Yu Xing was almost unable to react to the murderous look he gave her. 'How can this kid be so perceptive!'

Under this kind of training that consumes a lot of physical energy, Rongchun managed to survive the day's training...

"So tired..."

“I’m almost at my limit…”

"Carry the two first-year students back..."

"Huh..." Rongjun propped up his legs and let the sweat drip freely, glancing at senior Chris who was talking in the rest area.

"The pitch that Tanba-senpai has been secretly practicing recently is the forkball, right?" While Tanba and Chris were chatting, Miyuki sat next to him. "Your height combined with the forkball will be a good weapon. I think it's great."

"Yeah." Chris nodded in agreement. They were talking about this right at the time. "But... no matter how powerful a changeup you learn, the power of a changeup can only be displayed when paired with a straight ball... you must never forget this."

"Yeah." Danbo nodded in agreement, "But I only believe in my own pitching!"

"..." Seeing Senior Tamba nodding in agreement, Miyuki couldn't help but secretly sigh that if he had said this, his reaction would definitely not be like this. It turned out that Senior Chris really won the pitcher's heart.

The same goes for that weird guy Sawamura. He doesn't have any desire to monopolize the pitcher's mound at all. If it weren't for the expectations of his senior Chris, that guy probably wouldn't have played baseball.

This is not conducive to the training of pitchers, it seems that we need to think of a way...'However, being able to guide these pitchers with different personalities... is the fun of being a catcher.'

night...

After taking a bath, Eijun was blocked at the door of the bathhouse, and then was dragged by Fūya to the room of Miyuki-senpai.

When Fūya knocked on the door, Eijun had a bad feeling for some reason. As the door opened, past memories suddenly came flooding back.

"Oh... you're here! Come in!" Seeing that Furuya really brought Sawamura with him, Miyuki greeted him enthusiastically, "You two still have some energy left... come and serve these people! They gather in my room every day, it's really a headache!"

"Oh... first-year students, come and give me a massage!" Isashiki still called out to the first-year students in a ferocious manner to give him a massage.

"Sawamura...I want to drink juice!" The one who was busy playing video games quickly ordered the first-year student who came to do chores.

"Ah...you're so cunning! I want one too!"

"Miyuki, come and play chess!" Anxious for the game that was not finished yesterday, Yuki hurriedly called out to his opponent.

"Azhe... spare me! I'm too weak to beat you..." Miyuki responded and Yuuki asked Furuya and Eijun: "Do you two know how to play shogi?"

Fūya silently shook his head to indicate that he had no idea, while Eijun nodded to indicate that he could.

As a result, he received a solemn bow from Yuki-senpai, "Then I'll leave it to you!"

"Yes..." Somehow he couldn't refuse Yuki-senpai's challenge, and Eijun sat down in front of Yuki as if by reflex.

"Then I'll leave it to you. Azhe and Nakata come to my place every day, so I have to play shogi with him every day during the training camp. And I have to give Xiaochun a massage... Kuramochi and Nakata will play games together..."

"However, it's also a good thing to let you know what kind of people are guarding behind the scenes!"

Miyuki, who was full of great truths, didn't even give people time to be moved. He hugged the pillow and said with a sly smile: "Then I'll leave it to you guys from now on! I'm going to sleep in Maezono's room!"

"Eh!" Fūya was confused as he looked at the closed door. Where was the special training that Senior Miyuki mentioned?

"Furuya... come here and give me a massage!"

"What's wrong? Play chess quickly!"

"Yes..." This one step made Yuuki-senpai fall into deep thought. Eijun angrily despised Miyuki in his heart, 'that bastard...'

"Sawamura! Hurry up and buy me some juice!"

"And cookies!"

"..." Chris saw Yukichi walking out of the door with a sly smile. He came in and saw the scene in front of him. He couldn't help but smile, "What kind of juice do you want? I'll go buy it!"

“Chris-senpai!” When he saw Chris coming, Rongchun’s expression immediately changed, and he said solemnly: “How can we let Chris-senpai go to buy juice! Fūya! Let’s go buy it!”

"Ah."

Although the two were ordered around until midnight, they still had to get up early the next day to attend morning training.

After being fucked all morning, they finally managed to get through the morning practice. When the trio was about to leave for breakfast, they were stopped by Senior Chris.

"Fanggu, Eijun."

"I'm going to go into the bullpen for pitching practice this afternoon...get ready!"

"Hey!" Fūya was stunned for a moment, then he realized what was happening and glowed with joy, 'I can finally pitch...'

"Yes!" Rongjun was also very happy, but not because he could pitch, but because he could finally get rid of the oppression of the seniors.

"Not bad!" Xiaochun was very happy for them when she saw how happy they were. "Although the training was very tiring, we can finally pitch..."

Anyway, the afternoon is the last training time for the summer training camp.

The sound of batting and the shouts of defense all indicate the intensity of the defense training.

"One more goal!"

"What's wrong? Give me a few more balls!" Even though he was already panting, the blow of the timeout still provoked Isashiki to roar in dissatisfaction, "I'm not tired at all!"

"One more goal!" Yuki, who has always led the team with his performance, naturally also followed this point and shouted loudly, which was rare.

"Come on! Come on!" Zengzi was not to be outdone and gestured for the ball to come to him.

Every third grader on the field was still fighting tenaciously, but Xiaochun, who was guarding the same position as his brother, was so tired that he squatted on the ground and struggled. Compared with his brother who still seemed calm and composed, he looked a little embarrassed.

"Haruichi, if you rest over there, you'll be a nuisance to everyone!"

"..." Xiaochun was very unwilling to hear this, but he really didn't have the extra strength to support him to stand up.

"As expected of a third-year student, his voice is still so loud..." At this time, Director Ota in the rest area also sighed, "It's already the fifth day of training."

"Well... witnessing the regret of being just one step away from entering Koshien must have made many players who were still on the bench at the time feel unwilling!" Takashima Rei also felt very sorry about this.

"..." After hearing the two's words, Kataoka silently picked up the bat and walked to the batter's box, "Change! Let me bat!"

Looking at the supervisor in the batter's box, everyone had a more or less uneasy feeling.

"First-year student Kominato... go and take a rest!" Instructing Koharu to leave the field, coach Kataoka raised his bat and faced everyone in the stadium, "Is everyone else aware of this?"

"Hee..." Looking at his brother who still stood up tenaciously, Ryosuke continued to attack him with words without mercy, "The supervisor is afraid that you will get hurt!"

"I'm going to hit a bunch of balls over there, so be prepared!"

Eijun, who was in the bullpen, glanced at the situation on the field. Just like in his previous life, Coach Kataoka would personally take to the field for the final defensive training.

At this time, in the bullpen, there are the Furuya and Miyauchi team, who are preparing to throw as much as they want because Miyauchi-senpai can easily catch their balls, the Kawakami and Ono team, and the Tamba and Chris team who are going to practice outside the bullpen...

"..." Facing Miyuki in front of him, Rongchun frowned with disdain.

On the contrary, Miyuki was very happy because Eijun always trained with Chris-senpai and he almost never caught the ball from Eijun.

"..." Chris was helpless as he looked at Eijun who looked disgusted. Because of Eijun's special ball quality, besides himself, only Miyuki could catch it immediately. Besides, "Since you've been promoted to the first team, you naturally have to cooperate with other catchers."

"Hey, Sawamura, let's start with simple pitching to get used to it." Because Eijun always avoided him, Miyuki thought it would be better to cooperate with him gently first.

"Is that so... If Miyuki-senpai can't catch my full-strength pitch, your position as the top catcher will be in jeopardy. After all, Chris-senpai will make you lose miserably."

"Is that so~" I didn't expect that Eijun's initial provocation would be so direct, and Miyuki smiled as if he didn't care.

Although he was happy to compete with Senior Chris for the position of chief detective, he didn't want to lose so easily...
