15. Kasuga Dad's Diary
Early in the morning, the two sisters and brothers in the spring family got up early in the morning. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because today is Kasuga, Yun reported to the school's baseball club, and planned to go to the Inuyayama Mountaintop Hostel in Tozuki District with his students to have a week-long autumn dormitory training.
So in order to prepare for my brother's departure today, my sister Mei took the initiative to take over the work of packing her brother's luggage after dinner last night.
In the morning, when the spring clouds were washed and walked downstairs in a refreshing outfit, he saw that his sister's face was not good, and it could be clearly seen that there were traces of staying up late, so he hurriedly greeted his sister with concern: "Sister, what's wrong with you!?" I don't seem to be in good spirits, didn't I sleep well last night!? ”
"Ahh ~ Oh, it's okay, I slept a little last night, and I didn't have classes today, so I'll make up for a little more sleep when you go out of the door! Kasuga Mei sweetly pushed the breakfast she had prepared in front of Harugayun: "Come, this is the breakfast specially prepared for you today, hurry up and eat it!" ”
Breakfast is millet porridge and kimchi with fragrant fried saury, the portion does not seem to be large, but it is enough to fill the stomach with spring clouds.
Hasugayun ate very well, and after a while, he solved the food in front of him, and then before going out, he and his sister Yami came to a shrine placed in the living room, and after her sister Yami lit three pillars of incense and inserted it on the incense burner, she knocked on a jade bowl placed on the altar offering table, and then closed her eyes with her younger brother Kasuga, and prayed solemnly.
The shrine is dedicated to the portraits and tablets of the parents of the two siblings, and whenever there is a holiday or something important at home, the elder sister Mei Mei will bring the spring clouds to pray to the tablets of her parents and ask for the blessings of the ancestors.
This is a daily family custom of the Japanese people, and etiquette is a country that attaches great importance to etiquette.
So although Kasugamo is not sometimes so accustomed to coming to the shrine every once in a while to pray, her sister Mei is very happy about it, and almost every time she is allowed to pull Kasugamo to do this together.
Well, after some prayers, my sister Mei sent Kasuga Cloud to the door, and then used a fire sickle to gently knock a few sparks on the back of Kasuga Cloud, to show that she would drive away bad luck and bring peace blessings.
"Okay, be careful on the road, remember to take care of yourself!" Sister Mei Mei told with concern.
"Oh! ~" Kasugayun nodded in response, then turned around and stretched out his hand to tighten the coat that his sister was wearing and said, "Sister Yamei, go back to the house, you have to take good care of yourself in the next few days!" Let's go! ~”
"Good~"
After the two siblings said goodbye, Kasugayun rode a bicycle to school under the eyes of his sister Mei.
…………
After arriving at the school, almost everyone in the baseball club had arrived, and there were only a few families who lived relatively far away who had not yet had time to come to the school, but those people were also on their way to the school at this time.
At this time, there were still about 10 minutes before the bus start, and after Kasugayun got on the bus first and found a place to sit down, he waited boredly for the other people to hope that they would arrive early.
Speaking of which, I have to praise the people who live here, their concept of daily time is really deep-rooted, unless it is really something uncontrollable that causes them to be late, they generally do not commit tardiness.
Even many times, people will go out to the appointment half an hour in advance, or even an hour in advance, because here if you are late for the appointment, you are a senior, and you can still pose that a senior has something important to do, and the appearance of being late makes the juniors waiting for you have nothing to say.
But if you're late for your juniors, okay...... Next, you will have a meal of ribs that you can't finish and have to walk around!
After a while, after all the people arrived, the coach Kazuo Kawano, who was setting off with the team this time, stood in front of the bus and gave an order, and the driver immediately drove the car to the school and set off towards their destination, Inuyayama, Tsutsuki District.
The scenery along the way is picturesque, at this time has entered the mid-autumn season, the bus out of the city on both sides of the road, from time to time you can see the leaves of the maple trees, have fallen the withered red maple leaves.
From a distance, it is full of red mountains, and in the near distance, there are autumn colors, full of beautiful scenery that makes people look intoxicated......
Tozuki Ward and Aoba Ward are two adjacent wards, but it takes two hours to drive from Aoba Michidai Town to Inuyayama Tozuki. Of course, the distance is not too far, but the road after entering the mountains in the capital construction area is not particularly easy to walk, so the speed is not fast, which slows down the trip!
But anyway, for the young people in the baseball club, 2 hours is simply a distance that can be slept through during a nap.
So soon, the baseball club arrived at their destination, the summit hostel on Inuya Mountain, the Iwashita Sports Dormitory.
This is a civilian hostel on a flat ground on the top of Inuya Mountain, the hostel is not big, only has about 30 rooms, but although the sparrow is small, it has all the equipment, which is readily available.
Moreover, not only that, but in front of the cliff not far from the hostel, the innkeeper also had the intention to vacate a piece of land to make a standard football field, but this football field was more versatile than the standard football fields outside.
Residents can exercise on this court, and those who play basketball can drag out the basketball hoop from the utility room next to the football field and put it together, and then draw a line; Playing football is even simpler, you can go on the field immediately by simply cleaning up the field; As for baseball, there are a lot of equipment used in baseball, but the hostel can still provide these equipment to the residents, so this Iwashita hostel has always been a popular place for some nearby schools and companies to organize groups to come to the fitness trip.
After settling in, the sky gradually sank, and soon it was dark.
Since the temperature is lower than in the city, the temperature is lower than in the city, so the members of the baseball club at the hostel have changed into thick yukata robes and rushed to the hot springs provided by the hostel to soak in the refreshing hot springs.
Others don't know about hot springs, but Kasuga doesn't seem to be particularly fond of it.
Just taking a bath, if you choose between a bathtub at home and a public hot spring, Kasugamo still thinks that the bathtub at home is better.
First, he feels that he can't soak in the same pool of water with others in terms of hygiene, and secondly, he is not used to the movement of people here, so he will give you a mixed bathing and fun bathing custom, which means that Kasuga still retains the kind of reserved and shy of the Chinese people for girls.
Even if it's not a co-ed bath, it's okay to be naked naked and dangling in front of a group of big men who are three big and five thick...... Well, how to say that Kasuga's skin is not thick enough to this extent, although bathing together is really too normal and ordinary in Japan.
So after soaking for a while, he went back to his room alone to pack his luggage.
A few changes of clothes, and some small daily necessities, in fact, the luggage of the spring cloud is really simple to the point that it can't be simpler, except for these, there are only one package that looks a little special and puts it in the luggage bag.
When he was about to go out in the morning, his sister Mei Mei handed him a package with a solemn expression, saying that the contents of this package could help him learn baseball better.
At that time, because he was in a hurry to go out, Kasugamo put the package into the bag without looking closely, and at this time, he took it out again and looked at it, and it was obvious that the thing wrapped in the package was a hard object in a boxy line, which made Kasugamo feel like a notebook or something like that to the touch.
So after Kasugayun put the duffel bag aside and put it aside, he took the package and walked out of the room to find a place to sit down in the corridor outside the room, and then opened the package to see.
Sure enough, when Kasugamo opened the package, there were three notebooks that looked a little old, and they looked like they were several years old.
"Huh!? Notebook, sister, what did you give me!? ”
With curiosity, Kasugamo opened the top of the three notebooks in the package.
I saw that on the first page, there were a few big words that were cursively written with a pen and hand: Baseball Training Diary!
"Huh!? Experience is a baseball training diary!? Where did you come from!? ~" As soon as he saw this, Kasugamo was dumbfounded: "I'll go, I thought it was delicious!?" It turned out to be three notebooks, and they were used for a bird! ~Alas~~"
Turning the page again, to the second page of the note, at the beginning of the spring cloud saw a paragraph, that familiar font made the spring cloud immediately react, this ...... It seems to be the thing of Kasuga's dad who has passed away!
So, Kasugayun was very surprised and hurriedly packed up the spirit of hanging Erlang just now, and looked at the notes carefully.
I saw that it was written: When I first joined the team, the training was much harder than the training in high school and college.
As a newcomer, I used to think that being able to throw a 150 speedball in school was a great master, but when I got to the team, I found that even if people also shoot the same type of ball as you, the difference between me and others is very different in terms of ball power.
After asking the seniors, the seniors told me that it was because my actions were much simpler than theirs when pitching, especially in the final ball pressing action, the seniors' fingers were several times more flexible than me, so even if the ball I threw was fast, the ball could not keep up and could still be easily hit by the seniors, it seems that I have to come on! ~
After reading this passage, Kasuga found that at the bottom of the diary, Kasuga's father used a vivid hand-drawn drawing to depict two different throwing gestures and action essentials.
Although these hand-drawn Kasuga clouds didn't understand much because they weren't familiar enough with baseball, judging from what was recorded in this article, what Kasuga Dad recorded was definitely a kind of high-level baseball technique.
And from the words recorded in the diary of Kasuga's father before, Kasugayun also saw the word team, so at this time, he couldn't help but guess: "I'll go, Dad, shouldn't he have played professional baseball before!?" So why have I known him for so long only seeing him with a camera, or a camera running around the street, but I haven't seen him play!? Weird......
