358. No regrets about youth, the glorious retirement of seniors

"Line up!"

In front of home plate, Kasuga and Watanabe led the main team of the Temporary First Army and the members of the Rookie Challenger League team, lined up in two lines and bent down to salute each other. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Thank you very much for your advice today! ~”

"Thanks for the advice! ~”

At the end of the training game, the final score was fixed at 5:0, and the main team of the temporary first army easily won the intra-team training match.

But although it was easy to win, it does not mean that this temporary army is completely without problems.

In fact, after the game, coach Kawano's heart can only be regarded as barely passable for the on-the-spot performance of both sides in this game, and there is still a gap from the passing line he set before the game!

But these strengths and the tacit understanding between the players are not something that can be improved in a while, so the unhappiness on Coach Kawano's face is only a flash.

In fact, it is not only the expression on the face of coach Kawano that will turn fast, but also the expression on the faces of everyone on the baseball field.

Everyone's eyes suddenly looked neatly in one direction, the entrance of the baseball stadium!

There, Nakamura and Ogami, the two former commanders of the logistics team, were holding a flag and stomping like the Self-Defense Army, walking from the entrance of the stadium very solemnly, slowly but firmly towards the front of home plate.

"Smack! ~Sand~~"

"Tsuga! ~”

After the sound of the flagpole planted on the ground, the flag of the winning flag was raised vigorously by Nakamura.

"Flip Lala~~~"

The bright red color of the winning flag was unfurled in the wind, driving the dozens of ribbons on the flagpole with the names of all the baseball high schools that have won the winning flag since the founding of the conference, flying in front of everyone's eyes.

"Hiss~~"

"This, this is ......"

"Banner of Victory!! ~”

In an instant, all the boys in the entire baseball club were attracted by this scene, and as time went back a few seconds, except for Kasuga, Kobayashi, Akai and others who were in the main lineup of the original First Army, they were in a good mood, and the others were breathing rougher, their eyes were red, and they looked as if they had been injected with 1000CC chicken blood and looked at the winning flag that was planted on the ground by Nakamura in front of the home plate area.

At this time, without the coach saying a word or a half, everyone in the audience spontaneously gathered towards the home plate area, and quickly lined up in a team.

But, today the situation is different!

On weekdays, every time at this time of the assembly, the seniors who were originally going to retire are still in the position where they were with everyone before, the first army is the first army, the second army is the second army, the third army and the logistics group are also standing in the corresponding position team.

But today is different, Yasuno and Aihara, the two leaders in the baseball club, will lead a class of third-year students to stand in front of everyone in a row alone.

"Well~~"

"It's ......"

Seeing this, not to mention others, even Kasuga, who has just passed his rookie period in baseball, has vaguely guessed what will happen next!

At this moment, the sound of music slowly flowed like a trickling stream from the baseball club.

That's the school song of Aoba Dodai High School!

At the same time, it is also a song of youth that belongs to all the students who study at Aoba Dodai High School, such as Yasuno and Aihara, as well as Kasuga Cloud and Watanabe.

"Like a blue sky, white clouds, vast and boundless."

"Like a blue sea, emerald and blue, boundless."

"Like the vast earth, the ancestors are green, and life is high."

Youth, like a grass in spring, is nourished by abundant rain and thrives.

Life is like a film machine of time, bringing a series of moving moments......

This song is not written and composed by some famous person in the domestic music industry, and the singers are not very famous stars, and even if you say that the door of Aoba Dodai High School and people outside talk about this song, it is estimated that no one who knows the origin of this song will say it!

However, this does not prevent the song from being beautiful and sung among the students in the school.

It should be said here that the school song of Japanese high schools is usually not like the situation in China, and there is no such campus culture in China, but in Japan, the education government agency treats it as a top priority.

That's why Japanese campuses are full of a variety of club activities and a variety of campus culture that is well thought out for students.

The school song is a very important part of the campus culture.

Almost every school in Japan has its own school song, which is not only to promote the school's campus culture, but also to add a sense of belonging to the students.

Now, when the school song sounds, the sense of belonging is even stronger in the hearts of the third-graders who are about to retire from the baseball club!

So Anno was quickly moved to silently follow the song, and sang the school song in harmony.

"We have no regrets because we have been working hard."

"We have no complaints, because this is our youth."

"Oh~~Our youth~~"

And as Anye stood at the front of the line and sang quietly, it soon affected and infected Aihara, who was next to him, also began to sing.

Then the singing of Aihara and Anno moved the two of them to the beginning of the chorus, and then the four of them instantly affected the mood of the entire column of 3rd grade students, and all the 3rd grade students who were about to retire began to stand at the front of the line with the music, singing with some tears in their eyes.

"Thinking about the past, our failures, our sweat, and our efforts have not been realized ideally."

"But it is precisely because of your existence that my companions~~ Because of you, I walked all the way, so even in the face of thorns, I had the courage to break through everything, ride the wind and rain, and move towards the other side of happiness, forward, forward~~"

At this point, the singing gradually changed from a quiet singing to a passionate rhythm.

Because at this time, Kasugamo and Watanabe led all the members of the baseball club behind them to join in the atmosphere of the chorus.

"We have no regrets because we have worked so hard all the time. We have no complaints, because this is our youth. Oh~~Our youth~~"

"Thinking about the past, our failures, our sweat, and our efforts have not been realized ideally."

"But it is precisely because of your existence that my companions~~ Because of you, I walked all the way, so even in the face of thorns, I had the courage to break through everything, ride the wind and rain, and move towards the other side of happiness, forward, forward~~"

"It is precisely because of your existence that my companions~~ Because of you, I have walked all the way, so even in the face of thorns, I have the courage to break through everything, ride the wind and rain, and move towards the other side of happiness, forward, forward, forward~~"

"Forward, forward, forward!! ~~”

At the end of the song, all the people in the baseball club could barely hold back their tears.

Even outside the stadium, other students who were not in the baseball club were attracted by the singing, and many of them were excitedly shouting at the baseball club on the sidelines to cheer for them.

Just like the other day at the Hagar conference......

"Come on, baseball club! ~~”

"Come on, everyone, come on~~"

"We will always support you~~"

"Come on~~"

At this time, Anye slowly straightened up in the queue, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and shouted, "Third grade!! ~~Backwards~~ Turn! ”

"Brush! ~Syllable! ~”

After the sound of uniform footsteps, the third-graders at the front of all the members of the baseball club turned to face their students in unison.

Yasuno took the winning flag from Nakamura's hand, held it up and opened it in the wind and shouted, "Aoba Dodai~~"

Immediately, all the Year 3 students immediately understood and shouted: "Dominate the country!" ”

Anno raised the flag again and shouted: "Aoba Dodai~~"

Year 3 students continued to receive: "We, the strongest!! ~”

"Bang! ~" With a bang, the flag was heavily planted on the ground again, and Anye couldn't help but cover half of his face with the inward bend of his elbow again, and cried bitterly.

Along with him wept bitterly, along with the entire column of third-grade students.

For them, today is really one of the most important days in their lives, and perhaps what happened in this moment of time may become the most memorable scenery for Anno and Aihara on their long life road in the future!

No, it should be said that this moment will definitely become the most impressive memory landscape in their hearts when they look back on it decades later!

“~~~”

"Senior~~" Kasugamo and Watanabe saw it, and they were all so moved that tears couldn't help but flow down their faces.

Not to mention the newcomers behind them who had never felt such an atmosphere before.

At this moment, shock, emotion, excitement, and pride flashed from the faces of these people to join the baseball club of Aoba Dodai High School.

A strong sense of belonging and pride is quietly happening and spreading among the younger generation of new people.

After a while, Anno finally calmed down a lot of excitement, he wiped away his tears and said, "Three years ago...... On the same field, there are also such a group of seniors who are standing in the same position as me, and they have said the same thing to me, but I didn't understand the mood of the seniors at that time, and now I think back to the beginning I understood! ~

The tears that the seniors shed at this moment are tears of regret because it ...... Victory Flag!

Two years ago, I began to understand what baseball meant to me, so I threw myself into training every day, even if I wasn't the main force in the ministry at that time.

Because of it, the winning flag!

I finally began to understand why the seniors insisted on telling us, 'Have hope for your dreams, maybe they will come true one day!' The meaning of these words!

One year ago, it was the happiest and most exciting moment in the Aoba Dodai High School baseball club, because from then on I will be the core of this team, although this identity gives me a lot of pressure, but it also gives me a lot of motivation, so I am full of confidence before the spring game.

Until half a year ago......

The main lineup of the first army includes a number of talented young juniors, who add more possibilities to this team.

Two months ago, at the Hagar conference, no one would have looked up to our team at the beginning.

In the eyes of the whole country, people's attention is only about the first high, Tokai University, Sanjin high, Kagoshima Minoru and so on, these baseball schools, because they have made the eyes of the people of the whole country shine in the national competition, and more than once excellent performance, they have such strength and self-confidence to be concerned ~~

But in the end, we, myself from Aoba Dodai High School, and my main teammates from the first class and the first army, under the leadership of the coach, finally stood on that top and took it down.

Yuuki Senpai, Tsukika Senpai, Ogata Senpai, have you all seen it!?

Victory Banner, I've brought it back to you! ……

The dreams of the seniors have finally come true! ~

And, rookies, you see! …… This is where your ultimate dream lies, and with it, we can only be considered complete as members of the Aoba Dodai High School baseball club!

Because, we ~~ the strongest (strongest) !! ~~~~~”

The last two words, Anno roared out with Aihara and other third-grade students, and the sound directly resounded in the sky and shook the entire baseball stadium and outside.

"Senior~~" Kasugayun saw this and shouted out excitedly.

"Senior~~" Watanabe next to him is too.

Even Tsuchihara and some of the other newcomers behind him were like this, and they were all deeply moved by Anno's words.

“~~~~”

For a long time, there was an atmosphere of silence on the baseball field, and everyone was moved and moved.

It wasn't until Anno eased his excitement that he solemnly raised the winning flag with both hands, and slowly walked towards Kasugayun a few steps away in front of him.

When he came to the front of Kasuga, Anye stroked the banner again, but said with solemnity in his slow tone: "Kasuga, from today onwards, this winning flag will be handed over to you for safekeeping, you, are you ready to be enlightened!?" ”

"Hay! ~”

From just now, Kasugayun expected that such a moment would come, so although it was inevitable that his heart was still excited at this moment, he could still control it, and after bowing half-bowing to the senior in front of him, Yasuno solemnly bowed once, he took the winning flag in his hand, and then turned around and unfolded it into the wind.

"Peng~~"

Then it was the turn of coach Kawano to speak: "The replacement of the old and the new is an eternal law, but I hope that whether it is a newcomer or an old department, please remember this summer, remember everything that happened in this summer, because this is your youth!"

Next, I announce......

The 19th generation head of the Aoba Dodai High School Baseball Club, Kasuga-san! ”

"Hai!! ~”

As soon as Kasugamo heard the coach's announcement, he immediately turned to face the coach Kawano, who was holding a bright red strap with embroidered words and some patterns on it.

Kasugayun knew that it was the exclusive arm tie of the baseball minister, a status symbol.

So he stepped forward and gave up his right arm to coach Kawano to tie the strap up to him at a point down the shoulder of his arm.

After everything was fine, Kasuga turned around and came to face the group of teammates in front of him again, and at this time, he had completely faded from his youth, whether it was for baseball or everything in the baseball club......

Kasugayun has finally successfully transformed from a layman who is completely unfamiliar with baseball at this moment to the current director of the baseball department who is in charge of the 100-man team, and the absolute core ace pitcher in the team.

At this moment, Kasugayun was completely filled with an irrepressible restless passion!
