Diamond Ace: Another Story of Sawamura

·

Rongchun thought that he would continue to develop like this, and then enter that world again.

"Eijun."

"..." Rongchun looked at his grandfather who suddenly opened the door, took off his headphones and sat up, "Grandpa, what's wrong?"

"Ms. Takashima is here to visit you. Hurry up and wash your face and come to the living room."

“…Okay!” Again?

At this time, although Rong Chun was confused, he still got up and went down.

"..." Rong Chun came to the living room and saw the whole family gathered there. They were indeed able to chat well.

"Sawamura-kun, long time no see." When he saw Eijun coming, Takashima chuckled and pushed his glasses.

"Ms. Takashima, long time no see."

As soon as Eijun sat down, Takashima got straight to the point, "I'm here to invite Sawamura-kun. I hope Sawamura-kun will come to our school's baseball club."

"..." Rongchun was stunned for a moment and did not reply immediately. Instead, his grandfather replied first.

"Seidou is a famous family that has participated in Koshien many times!"

"I refuse." Eijun calmly replied, "I'm playing rugby, and I already have a school I want to go to."

"Eijun!" When her mother heard that Eijun wanted to continue playing rugby, her face changed, "This is an opportunity. Didn't you like baseball very much? And playing baseball is much safer than playing rugby."

"Mom, I've stopped playing baseball a long time ago." Rong Chun knew that his mother had always been against him continuing to play football. "Besides, I have already planned to study hard after entering high school. I want to be a doctor."

"Eh!"

The family was suddenly stunned. They had never heard of Rong Chun having this wish. "Really?"

"Yeah." Eijun nodded and looked at Miss Takashima, "So, I'm sorry."

"Yeah, so when are you going to come visit our school again? We have a lot of things to do here, so I hope you can come as soon as possible."

"..." Rong Chun looked at her speechlessly, still talking to himself.

Seeing the shocked expressions of the family, Takashima said with a proud smile: "The court is like a mirror. It can reflect the inner heart of the players."

"So you can find your true self on the court. Do you understand? Sawamura-kun."

"Can I ask where you got this conclusion from?" Rong Chun looked at her helplessly, "I haven't played baseball for a long time. My school doesn't even have a baseball club."

"I saw your rugby game by chance before." Takashima said, recalling the pitching posture that Eijun made during that game.

"The right foot is raised high, without any confusion and with a perfect sense of balance. It is a perfect pitching posture, which is a perfect display of the pitcher's confidence."

"That's the instinctive pitch from the soul of a baseball pitcher, thrown to the batter."

"Although it doesn't count because of the illegal action."

"..." Rongchun said that the last sentence was a bit redundant.

When I first started playing rugby, I sometimes used the same throwing posture as I did when I was throwing a baseball. "Ms. Takashima has covered a lot of areas. Are you still looking for rugby players?"

"Then let's go to school on our day off." Mom interrupted the topic and helped Rongchun make the decision.

Then the matter was left unresolved, and Rongchun had no choice but to follow his mother's wishes and treat it as a revisit to the old place.

·

"Eijun, Miss Takashima is here to pick you up, get up quickly."

"Eijun!"

"Okay..." Rong Chun responded helplessly, turned over and got up, then slowly went downstairs to wash up.

I got in the car, held the lollipop in my mouth, leaned against the window and fell asleep.

Then they changed trains, and Rongchun fell asleep leaning against the handrail as usual until he got off the train.

"..." Looking at the scenery outside the window, Rong Chun didn't expect that he would come here again. He sighed helplessly, "It was mom who found you, right?"

"..." Takashima smiled stiffly and adjusted his glasses. "If you didn't meet my expectations, I wouldn't have invited you."

"Maybe your mother doesn't know much about baseball, but from your pitching movements, I see that you have unlimited potential as a pitcher."

Eijun knew everything Takashima said, "I just want to know what mom said."

"She said...you like baseball."

·

Even after being here for three years, when Rongjun comes here again, he still feels that this court is always full of tension.

Every student here has given their all for three years of high school baseball, just for the chance to play in the 20 games.

"Hey! What are you doing, pitcher? You're throwing that birdie ball!"

From somewhere, that arrogant roar was heard again, and Rong Chun looked at the protagonists of that voice.

"How am I supposed to practice throwing a crappy ball like that! Can't you throw a decent pitch?"

Even though Senior Kawakami was already sweating from exhaustion and had been verbally attacked, he still stubbornly stated that he wanted to vote.

In his previous life, Eijun didn't know that this was Senior Dong's special way of caring for his juniors, so he was so angry that he just contradicted him. This time, knowing that Senior Dong was actually caring about Senior Kawakami, Eijun naturally wouldn't do such a thing.

"You'd better take a closer look at that man's batting practice."

Seeing that Eijun's attention was drawn to that person, Takashima Rei introduced him, "His name is Higashi Seikoku, and he is a monster high school student with a record of 42 home runs."

"He is one of the top picks for this year's professional baseball draft."

As if to cooperate with Miss Takashima's introduction, Azuma-senpai hit the baseball hard, hitting a beautiful home run.

However, Eijun's attention was no longer there, but looking for Chris on the court, "Where's Chris-senpai?"

"Eh?" Before Takashima could react, Eijun had already run away.

Eijun had to admit that he came here, on the one hand to deal with his family, and on the other hand to check on Chris-senpai's situation. It had been more than a year since their last meeting.

He has learned about this year's Hagar. Senior Chris has not played. Is it because his injury has not healed yet?

Hagar was defeated again. He must be upset because he didn't get to play. He must be blaming himself!

"..." Rongchun found Chris in the bullpen at first sight. He was squatting and calling, "Chris, senior!"

"Huh?" Chris was frightened by the passionate shout. He lifted his mask and stood up, and was suddenly hugged.

"Senior Chris, long time no see!"

"Hmm..." Chris didn't react for a moment. He just caught the person hanging on his body. After a moment's hesitation, he felt that the person looked familiar. "You are..."

"..." Rongchun felt Chris's hesitation and remembered that they had only met twice before. The first time, he hadn't seen his face yet, so Rongchun quickly got away from him.

"I'm sorry, I lost my composure." Rongchun looked at Chris-senpai who was scratching his head and smiled, "I was so happy to see Reese-senpai on the lookout."

"..." Looking at the somewhat introverted child in front of him, Chris' mind emerged, the child who was looking at him seriously in the stream, "Sawamura."

"Yes!" Because Chris still remembered him, Rongchun smiled brightly, although his smile was blocked by the mask, "I'm glad that Chris still remembers me."

"Why are you coming to my school?" Chris said, his smile suddenly froze, and he realized that the entire stadium's attention was focused on them.

"..." Seeing Chris's face turn red, Rongchun felt embarrassed for some reason.

"..." I don't know why they became shy, Takashima quickly stepped forward to explain: "I am bringing Sawamura-kun to visit our baseball club."

"Visit..." means you will become a junior student, "Will you come?"

"will not."

"..." Unexpectedly, Eijun refused without even thinking about it. Chris cast a puzzled look at Takashima.

“……”Takashima could only respond with a helpless smile and motioned Chris to come over.

"You can take another look around. You don't have to decide so quickly." Chris said to Rongchun and walked around to Takashima.

"Chris, this kid seems to like you very much." Takashima Rei had no other choice for the time being. Eijun didn't seem to have any curiosity or envy about this place.

To be honest, Takashima's pride was somewhat dampened. "See if you can get him to change his mind. He has potential."

“…Since even you said so.” Chris thought he really had potential.

"I've never seen him play baseball, though. It would be nice to see him pitch."

"..." Chris was a little confused. He had never seen him play baseball, so what qualities did he have that made Takashima take a liking to him?

"Chris." Although he was not nearby, it was the first time that Dong Qingguo saw Chris being so intimate with someone else, so he naturally came over to take a look. "Who is that kid to you?"

“Senior Dong, he is the kid who found out that I was injured.”

"Oh!" Dong Qingguo looked at Rong Chun who was looking at this side and walked over, "You are the mysterious kid who found Chris injured. Why are you here to visit Chris?"

"No, he's here to visit..."

"Yes, now that I've finished reading it, I'm planning to go home." Rongjun stopped Miss Takashima from talking and expressed his own wishes first.

"So, are you here to visit or to see Chris?" Dong Liang looked at them puzzledly.

"Hizashima." Seeing that Eijun was about to leave, Takashima thought for a moment and moved closer to Higashinokuni, "This kid can throw interesting balls."

"It's a rare opportunity. You can show him a national-level strike."

"...Yes, sure!"

"I refuse." Rongchun refused directly after hearing what was said and walked in front of Chris, "Chris-senpai, I'm leaving first."

"What? Are you scared?" Dong Qingguo saw that he was about to leave, so he blocked Rong Chun's way.

Rong Chun was pushed back by Dong's belly. He frowned and said calmly, "Senior, it doesn't matter if I'm scared or not. I think you should lose weight."

"What! This is my charm!"

"Charm? This is a flaw no matter how you look at it!"
