"You don't have to ask anyone else." A voice quietly appeared in Yuki Takami's ears, "Basically no one in the team will take care of you at this time." ”

Yuki Takami followed the prestige, and a mature face jumped into the field of vision, revealing a darker complexion, much darker than Yuki Takami's complexion, for example, the difference between sugar and caramel color.

"Harada ......" came to report to his home, "Harada Tsuyoshi." And stretched out his hand......

"Takami......" Yuki Takami stretched out his hand in response, huh? The cocoon on this man's hand?

"Yuki Takami." The man named Tsuyoshi Harada shook hands and nodded, "I know." ”

"I'm afraid your name, no one here doesn't know." Harada Tsuyoshi glanced not far away from the corner of his eye, the other team members who were always paying attention to the situation here, Harada Tsuyoshi faced Yuki Takami and said this sentence - there is no meaning.

Yuki Takami, who heard some overtones, still didn't understand his situation, and quietly asked, "Did I do anything bad?" ”

Tsuyoshi Harada's eyes were filled with inquiry and confirmation, "Don't you know yet?" ”

"What should I know?" Yuki Takami began to feel that today's things were not simple.

"Your jersey number 18 was originally reserved for a veteran of the First Army." Harada just spoke without any other expression, "Sooner or later, the name of this veteran will be clear to you." ”

"So, I can't tell you right now."

"yes, I see." A sentence suddenly popped up in Yuki Takami's heart - if you don't say it, you don't have to do it. I heard this from my father, a businessman, and Yuki Takami never imagined that one day he would have the opportunity to experience it for himself.

Working life is really not easy!

"Since they don't care about me, then ......"

"How dare you sail against the current?" Yuki Takami's words are right, it is true that for Japanese people with a strong sense of herd psychology and group consciousness, it seems that following the crowd is the best choice, so the subtext of Yuki Takami's words is: "Aren't you afraid of falling into a fate with me?" ”

Harada smiled casually, his expression impeccable, and there was no hint of hypocrisy.

"Because I'm the fourth catcher."

"I must admit that I can't say anything about the First Army......"

"But in the Second Army, I don't need to look at anyone's eyes." strengthened the affirmative tone, "Even if that person is an old Jianghu." ”

Yakult Black Swallow's players' dormitory is some distance from the home stadium, Meiji Jingu Stadium and the club's headquarters, but it's not too far, even if you walk at a normal pace, you can get from any of the three to the other in less than five minutes.

Why are we talking about players' dormitories all of a sudden?

Because for the next whole season, Nakamoto will leave home and stay here. The home field, the training ground, the players' dormitory, the away game, the four-point straight line of professional life - this will be the main theme of Xia Ben's first year of rookie year.

The rookie year must be in the players' quarters, which is a clause written into the contract that must be enforced. Whether it is a high school graduate (high school graduate), a college student (college graduate), or a social person, as long as it is a rookie, it must be executed. Of course, the players' dormitory is not only reserved for rookies, if the schedule is particularly dense or there are other circumstances, such as the players who have already married are too far away from home, and the back and forth will lose rest time, so the main players of the first army will sometimes stay in the players' dormitory according to various circumstances.

Of course, now in the preparation period for the new season, the main players of the first army are basically unlikely to appear in the players' dormitory. Therefore, the current players' liao is the territory of the marginal people of the first army, the swing man of the first and second army, the players of the second army and the rookies. Of course, these basic knowledge, Xia Ben Rongguan may not be clear now, and he will slowly summarize and experience it in the future.

He basically lived a three-point straight line life from the dormitory to the training ground to the school and back to the dormitory in high school, so Natsumoto Rongguan thinks that the new life of the players is just a continuation of high school life.

Of course, the players' dormitories, living facilities and various configurations of professional ball clubs are much more complete than the players' dormitories in colleges and universities. For example, the allocation of rooms, the bunk beds that high school students often have, often four or even six people live in a room. When it comes to the professional baseball players' dormitory, they are all two people in one room, and each has its own room, which does not interfere with each other. The basic structure of the room is one living room and two bedrooms with their own bathrooms, without a kitchen. Each person lives alone in a room with an area of nine tsubos (tsubo is a Japanese-style unit of floor area, and nine tsubo is nine tatami mats). The rooms are equipped with basic furniture, beds, wardrobes, desks, chairs, lockers. Of course, other basic facilities are also fully equipped, so I will not say them one by one.

Xia Ben Rongguan followed the tips of the life secretary and came to the entrance of the players' dormitory with his bags on his back, and he was the only one. Why is he alone? Because he came too early, today is just the day for the players to report, and the most important event is to meet the big boss of the club. The club did not require rookie players to stay in the players' dormitory today. Of course, Natsumoto didn't know this before he stepped into the players' dormitory.

That's why the following scene happened - an uncle with gray hair and beard was alone in the management area near the entrance of the players' dormitory, enjoying refreshments. Suddenly, the door was gently pushed open, and the uninvited guest Xia Ben Rongguan walked in with his bags on his back, quietly breaking the "tranquility of one person".

"Excuse me!" Because he saw that there were people in the management area, Xia Ben Rongguan stood at the door and greeted him first. Xia Ben Rongguan's eyes are very good, is this person who has his back to the gate and doesn't know what he's busy with is the administrator? My hair is a little gray, I guess it's an old-timer.

"Poof!" The old-timer in Xia Benrongguan's eyes, the gray-haired and bearded uncle happened to be drinking tea with a teacup at this time, and this greeting almost made Uncle Bearded send all the tea into his nose. Now it's okay, the nose and beard are dripping with juice and tea. Uncle Beard coughed violently while insisting on putting the teacup back on the coffee table...... But with the current situation, what seems simple has become not easy to do - the teacup is tragic!

A pair of hands suddenly appeared, saving the tragic fate of the teacup. Put it where it should be.

"Big husband?" Xia Ben Rongguan asked.

Uncle Beard didn't care about talking at all now, one hand seemed to be digging something, and the finger of the one hand that had been free pointed at Xia Ben Rongguan, and he didn't know if it was trembling or what...... The hand was shaking up and down all the time.

Xia Benrongguan looked around the management area, found a tissue box, hurriedly went to get it, and handed it to Uncle Beard.

Uncle Beard finally got the straw that saved his life.
