Diamond Ace: Another Story of Sawamura

·

"Eh..." Looking at Sawamura who suddenly started crying, Kuramochi was stunned for a moment, a little flustered, "Is this tears of joy?"

"Woo~" Holding this little white card, although Eijun was in tears, he couldn't control the smile on his face, and finally hugged him, "Thank you! Kuramochi-senpai!"

"Wow! Stop it, idiot! It's so dirty and smelly!"

In the end, Rongchun agreed to take a shower before leaving, but they had a disagreement about clothes.

Eijun stood at the door of Room 5, looking at the clothes that Kuramochi-senpai handed him, and after a moment of silence, he replied, "I don't wear short sleeves."

"...Then I'll get another one."

“I don’t wear shorts yet.”

"What a weird fashion sense you have!"

“I don’t wear white.”

"...What do you have against white!"

"I..."

"What else do you have to say? You don't want to wear short-sleeved shirts and shorts on a hot day, and you don't want white. There is nothing else to wear except this one!"

“…” Seeing Kuramochi-senpai’s angry look, Eijun was silent for a moment and replied, “I meant to say that I will wash it clean and return it to Kuramochi-senpai.”

"..." Feeling angry, Kuramochi's mouth twitched twice, "Go wash up quickly, Chris senior should have finished washing."

"Hahaha..." Yukichi, who had been watching from the side, couldn't help himself and held his stomach, laughing uncontrollably.

"Miyuki! You bastard!"

"Hey, hurry back to the court! Training is about to end, let's finish and go eat~"

"..." Rongchun took the clothes to the bathhouse and laughed secretly, "How interesting."

When Chris came out after washing, Rong Chunzheng went over and found Kuramochi on the court. "Where did you find that card, Kuramochi?"

"Oh, I didn't find his copy, so I just got him a new one."

"you..."

"Anyway, it's just as magical as if he disappeared, isn't that just right?"

Going through the trash just for a card, which wasn't even a bank card, Kuramochi thought was extremely stupid.

But what Kuramochi didn't expect was that he was even more stupid than he thought. He rummaged through the garbage for a long time and didn't even bother to use his hands.

Kuramochi took a chance and scraped off the print on the game card that his mother used before, saying that it was a wishing card or something.

'I didn't expect it to be the same as his.'

When Rong Chun came out of the stadium after taking a shower, the team was already gathered. Rong Chun walked towards the team despite everyone's strange looks.

"Sawamura-kun..." Takashima Rei looked at Sawamura who was parked next to him, hesitated for a moment and asked worriedly: "Are you cold?"

"Hahaha..." The crowd suddenly burst into exaggerated laughter.

"Kuramochi, which season's clothes are you borrowing?"

“Is this the time to wear a sweater?”

The main thing is that Rongchun not only wore a sweater, but also a mask and a hat, which formed a clear contrast with this group of people who were so hot that they wanted to go shirtless.

"..." Rongchun didn't respond. He just took out the white card and held it up. "This is not my card."

"..."

The laughter suddenly stopped, and several people who knew the truth rushed towards Kuramochi.

"My card has a crease. I accidentally pressed it when I was sleeping."

“Do I have to hold it even when I sleep?”

"..." Eijun noticed Kuramochi-senpai's unhappy expression and thought about it. After all, it was sent by the same person, "Maybe..."

Rongchun wanted to change his words and say "Maybe I remembered it wrong.", but a dark shadow came over and the card in his hand was taken away. Rongchun looked up at the serious supervisor holding the card and folded it with both hands.

"That's the same thing."

"..." Rongchun was stunned for a moment before taking the card and looking at the crease, "Ah~~ I hate you!"

"Hey! Supervisor!!"

"Ah~~" Rongchun wailed, picked up the bag, and turned away without paying attention to the supervisor's slightly helpless face, "I'm never coming again!"

"..." Chris was really overwhelmed by the situation, but he still chased after him and stood in front of Sawamura, "Sawamura, don't cry! The coach wants to help you."

"Ah~" Rongchun also guessed that the director had this strange intention, but, "This crease is different!"

"Is it just because the creases are different?" Everyone complained collectively again.

"Pfft...Hehe..." Chris couldn't help but laugh because of this reason.

"..." Seeing Chris-senpai suddenly laugh, Rongchun sniffed, "Chris-senpai, is there anything else?"

“Ahem… um.” Chris stopped laughing and asked softly, “You said you haven’t played baseball for a long time and you don’t want to pitch anymore, but you still like baseball, right!”

"..." Rongchun did not respond to this.

"Besides, I want to catch the ball you throw. Will you throw it to me?"

"Okay!" Rongchun looked up at Chris, "Chris-senpai wants to catch my ball, so I'll throw it to Chris-senpai."

"Eh!" Takashima Rei behind him was also speechless for a moment. Is it that simple? "Why did you refuse so much before?"

Something happened yesterday. The whole club was talking about it. I had an argument with Senior Dong. Senior Dong threw Chris to the ground and almost kicked him. He just refused to throw the ball.

Those who were present at the time still remember what he said.

"Because Chris-senpai said he wanted to catch the ball from me." Eijun answered the question with one sentence.

Because this is his expectation, then he will do it.

"How much does this guy like Chris!"

"Chris, your little fan really loves you!"

"Whatever you wish for, it will be granted!"

"This guy only respects you!"

"..." Chris himself didn't expect it to be so easy. He thought it would take at least a few days. "So are you going to shoot now? No, your hand is injured..."

"It's OK!" Rongchun raised his bandaged left hand, "It's just a scratch, it's no big deal."

"No."

"Well then..." Eijun turned to look at the team, then at Takashima Rei, "I'm really sorry for causing you trouble."

Then it was Kuramochi-senpai, "Thank you Kuramochi-senpai for the clothes and for helping me find my card."

Then the whole team said, "I'm really sorry for causing a bad influence on you all."

After apologizing, Eijun just left.

It was another matter when I got home and was scolded by my parents and grandfather because of my injury.

What Rongchun didn't expect was...

Then, early in the morning, when he was about to go to the fields to help...

"Hey, Miss Takashima, you're here. Are you here to see Eijun?"

Rong Chun, who was having breakfast in the living room, had a dish that trembled in his hand and dropped on the table. He picked it up without caring and continued eating.

“Hey!” Takashima came into the living room and saw Rongchun eating, and left embarrassedly, “Did we come at the wrong time!”

"It's okay, it's just that Eijun is the only one left who hasn't eaten yet, come in!"

"Mom, I'm done eating~" In the time it took them to say two sentences, Rong Chun finished eating and went into the kitchen, leaving the living room.

"Okay, come in, both of you!"

"We are here to apologize for Sawamura-kun getting injured in our school. We are really sorry."

"It's okay. It must be the child's own carelessness. He's clumsy. It's common for him to get injured every now and then. Besides, it's been half a month, so he should have healed a lot."

"..." Rongchun quickly washed the dishes and wanted to go out, "Mom, I'm going to help..."

Before Eijun could finish his words when he came out of the kitchen, he sat over reflexively, "Chris-senpai! Long time no see!"

"Well, it seems you're really healed, that's great!" As soon as he saw Rongchun, Chris's attention was all on his hand. The wound had indeed healed, leaving only two scars.

"..." Looking at the situation, Takashima Rei silently sighed that it was a good thing Chris was here, otherwise Eijun probably wouldn't even be able to sit down.

"Yes, after all, my only advantage is that I am in good health!" Rongchun is still quite satisfied with his current body.

"It seems so." Chris smiled. "Do you want to help with anything?"

"Yes, I'm going to the fields now to help fertilize them!"

"Then I'll go and help you."

"No! How can we let guests do the work?"

"fine."

Finally, Senior Chris went to the fields together. Looking at the fertilizer in his hand and then at Rongchun, Chris felt it was particularly fresh.

This was his first experience, so inevitably he was a little slow. As a result, Chris only finished three rows, while Rongchun had already finished the rest, cleared some weeds, and put away the remaining fertilizer and tools.

"Senior Chris! I'm ready now, just wash up and go back!"

"Ah."

After Eijun finished washing, Chris thought he had to wait until his feet were dry before putting on his shoes, but Eijun ran away barefoot with his shoes in his hands.

"..." Chris followed after hesitating for a moment, thinking that his foot was washed in vain, "Nothing else, right?"

"Ah."

"Will you throw the ball to me?"

"Sure, let's go now!"

"Would you like to come to Qingdao to vote?"

"..." Eijun paused, then continued walking while shaking his shoes, "Chris-senpai, you've never seen me pitch, and neither has Miss Takashima. If I'm not strong enough, and you come to me so many times, you'll become a joke to others."

"If Senior Chris just wanted to thank me for exposing your concealment of your injury, haven't you already thanked me?"

"..." Chris also knew some of the truth. He was just simply worried about Rongchun, but he couldn't force Rongchun to do something he didn't want to do.

"I've always been curious about why you would run so far to help me."

"Because I'm a fan of Chris-senpai!"

You love baseball so much that you would be very sad if you couldn't play it anymore.

In fact, Xiaoli has already done his job, and it is Sawamura's decision whether to go or not, but Chris himself said, "I am worried about you."

"..." Rongchun stopped and turned to look at Chris, tilting his head and smiling: "Do I look like something is wrong?"

"Yeah." Chris nodded affirmatively.

"..." Rongchun looked at him, blinked and smiled, "Okay! I'll go to Qingdao to pitch to Chris-senpai, let's go now!"
