"Xiao Rong.... This way! ”

Ashin stood outside the station and waved at Rong Chun and shouted, after seeing Ashin, Rong Chun quickly ran over,

"You're here to pick me up, didn't you say I could do it alone?"

"I'm afraid you haven't been home for too long and you've forgotten your way."

Ashin quipped, and then prepared to take Rong Chun's bag, but Rong Chun refused.

"I'll take this myself, it's not heavy anyway, let's go back quickly, didn't you say that you made something delicious and waited for me?"

"Xiaorong, you're too greedy, it's only what time is it, and it's not even lunch time."

Ashin was amused by Rong Chun's greedy cat appearance, and then suddenly thought,

"Isn't it possible, haven't you had breakfast yet?"

Rong Chun touched his stomach and smiled a little embarrassed,

"It's too early to leave school, and breakfast isn't ready in the cafeteria."

"Then why don't you buy something in the car, shouldn't there be a bento in the car?"

Ashin looked at Rong Chun with a crazy look, Rong Chun scratched his head, not caring in the slightest,

"Forgot!"

“......”

"Hey, forget it, I can't count on you Xiaorong, let's go outside and buy you something to eat first."

"Curry meat bun at the paddy field shop!"

"The curry meat bun at the paddy field shop...."

Ashin and Rong Chun said in unison, and then looked at each other and smiled,

"Xiaorong, you really haven't changed at all."

"Why, I've changed a lot."

Although there are still people in the family who are waiting, they are still busy, so Ashin is not in a hurry to take Rongchun back. The two of them came to the convenience store they frequented,

"Ah, this isn't Xiao Rongchun, it's been a long time."

Aunt Mizuta, who was watching the store, was a little happy when she saw Rong Chun,

"Ah, Aunt Mizuta, long time no see, are you okay?"

Seeing the familiar faces, Rong Chun was also a little excited, and his face was smiling.

"It's very good, even the cats at home are very good."

"Hey, that's good."

"Xiao Rongchun, do you want to be the same today?"

"Well, of course."

"Give! By the way, congratulations on your school's Koshien victory, Auntie, I see the end of your competition every time. ”

"Thank you~~, no wonder I felt very good when I competed, Auntie, you must have prayed for me."

After listening to Rong Chun's words, the aunt said with a straight face,

"Of course, Auntie, I have been praying for the gods' blessing when I watched the game. Ah, look at me, I've been pulling you to talk nonsense again, and your house must be waiting for you to go back. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm happy to chat with you, Auntie."

"Ah, Xiao Rongchun is just good, Auntie will give you more meat buns to eat, Auntie's newly developed new flavor."

"Thank you, Auntie."

In this way, Rong Chun said goodbye to Aunt Shuitian with a paper bag containing buns, and Ashin on the side said with some jealousy,

"Obviously I'm here, Aunt Mizuta didn't see me at all, and when I was out of school before, my aunt would pull me to talk when she saw me.

Xiaorong, as soon as you come back, we are all going to fall out of favor, and we haven't eaten the new flavor of meat buns. ”

Rong Chun looked at his master's pretentious friend with a smile, took out a bun from the bag and stuffed it,

"I'll give you something to eat, but Aunt Mizuta gave me two."

The meat bun that had just been taken out not long ago was still hot, and it was so slapped in the face by Rong Chun that the hot Ashin almost jumped up.

I quickly took it with my hand, but even then I could feel the temperature coming from my hand, and I took a careful bite, and the gravy and soft dough were mixed together, and it was particularly delicious.

"Huh~~Huh~~, it's so hot, it would be nice if I came to eat it at night, and it still feels a little strange during the day."

When Ashin took a bite of the meat bun, Rong Chun was already enjoying the meat bun in a big gulp, his cheeks were stuffed full, and he was chewing happily.

However, Ashin looked at Rong Chun with some surprise and asked curiously,

"I said Xiaorong, don't you feel hot?"

"Nothing to fear (I don't think)...."

"Well, it's good if you're happy, but the new flavor of the meat bun tastes very good, I don't know when it will be on the shelves."

Ashin whispered, just talking to himself, and he didn't expect Rong Chun to give an answer.

However, looking at Rong Chun's eating appearance, Ashin originally felt that eating meat buns on a hot day was a little greasy.

However, his appetite has improved a lot, and he took out another curry meat bun from Rong Chun's paper bag to eat.

The two of them just enjoyed eating and walking, ran into a vending machine, and went to choose a drink.

"Ah~~ I'm so full, I'm so tired~~"

Ashin drank lemonade and kept talking, Rong Chun looked at his unproductive appearance,

"If you have breakfast, don't eat so much, who will support you if you don't support it."

"It's not that you bought so much yourself, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it, and it won't taste good when you get home."

Hearing Ashin's words, Rong Chun was a little helpless

"I bought my own portion, what are you worried about?"

Ashin looked at Rong Chun with a shocked face,

"That.. So much, you eat alone!? ”

For his friend's surprised expression, Rong Chun didn't care at all,

"Of course...."

"When did you eat so much!"

"I've already tried three bowls of rice before I go to Qingdao again, let alone after Qingdao, and it's still in the growth season."

It's also in the growth period, but at most two bowls of rice Ashin looks at Rong Chun like a monster.

However, taking a closer look at Rong Chun, Ashin found that Rong Chun has actually changed a lot.

"Okay, have you rested, let's go quickly, Wakana and they all texted us to urge us, and if we don't go back, they will be angry!"

Rong Chun looked at the very graphic text message on his phone, a little nervous, and hurriedly urged Ashin.

"Oh.... Oh, let's go. ”

Wakana's threat proved to be very effective, and both returned home as quickly as they could.

Standing at his door, Rong Chun shouted excitedly,

"Everyone, I'm back!"

Then push the door open,

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Welcome back, Rongchun~"

"Welcome back, Sakae."

Rong Chun's little friend Ryohei, Takuya stood on both sides of the door and pulled the latte art, and the very loud voice startled Rong Chun.

Then Rong Chun pounced on the whole person,

"I'm back!!"

"Hahahaha...."

"Okay, don't stop it, it's too crowded in the hallway, go to the back."

Sawamura's mother looked at the children in front of her gently, and then persuaded.

Rong Chun will still listen carefully to his mother's words, and then pull his little friend and go to the corridor behind.

"Wakana-chan, aren't you going over?"

Sawamura's mother looked at Wakana, who was standing beside her and didn't move, and was a little puzzled. Wakana shook her head gently,

"No, it's okay if I help you pack up your things and then go over, anyway, I won't be able to interject for a while."

Hearing this, Sawamura's mother smiled,

"It's also said that there are fewer children in that group than one, and since Rong Chun went to Qingdao, the family has been quiet."

Sawamura's mother, who watched Wakana grow up, did not refuse Wakana's help, after all, they were already very familiar with each other, and the polite time had long passed.

However, Sawamura's mother didn't let Wakana do a lot of things, but just asked her to wash a few fruits and cut them.

I also helped prepare some drinks and served them to the boys in the backyard.

At this time, Sawamura's father and grandfather were still working in the fields, but because of the child's return, they were particularly motivated.

"Rong Chunzhen is really, he hasn't come back for so long!"

"There is a lot of training in the department, and there is not enough time, so I use the class time to catch up on sleep."

"You still have to hurry up with your studies, we can't help you with your tuition."

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, I have a pair of peers, his learning is very good, and he is super good, the test, mid-term exam, and final have helped me a lot, and I have passed all of them~"

"It's a surprise, I played baseball well, and I studied very well...."

"Do you have any misunderstanding about the Qingdao Baseball Club, no, it's about the people who play baseball..."

A few people asked and answered, chatting very happily, and Wakana just held a bowl and sat there watching them eat fruit.

The teenager who was surrounded in the middle sparkled in the sunlight.

"Ah, by the way, I'll bring you back with a special product~"

Rong Chun looked like a treasure, pulled his backpack over, and everyone looked at Rong Chun's backpack with some curiosity.

"This is the amulet I asked for in Tokyo, I bought it a long time ago, but I forgot to give it to you, and this one, I bought it from Koshien...."

"Wow, that's cute, isn't it?"

Kota took a Koshien souvenir from Rong Chun's hand and put it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

Rong Chun bought a small pendant, there are many kinds, and what Haota is holding in his hand is a baseball glove pendant.

The workmanship can be described as very fine, and the work is very realistic, just like a normal glove has shrunk.

And there are several kinds of baseball glove-style pendants, one is catcher-type, one is reserved, and there are pitchers, and even the left and right hands are divided.

In addition to that, there are also bat styles, baseball styles, and even hat styles for professional baseball teams.

The variety is very rich, and everyone is very happy to choose.

Ashin was a little worried,

"This looks super expensive, Xiaorong, is your pocket money enough?"

Hearing this, Rong Chun turned to Ashin, suddenly gave a thumbs up, and could see two rows of white teeth with a smile.

"Everything is under control..."

Seeing such a Rongchun, Ashin and Wakana can't rest assured at all!

'You bear boy, how much did you spend!' ’

In fact, these things that Rong Chun bought, including the talismans he gave to his predecessors before, were all New Year's money that Rong Chun had accumulated for a long time.

When he was in Nagano, Rong Chun's most money-burning hobby was baseball, but this part of the money was funded by his parents.

In addition, Rong Chun's snacks and meat buns after school actually don't cost much.

Rong Chun's family has always been farming, although he is not a rich family, but he gave Rong Chun a lot of pocket money, and slowly accumulated a lot of money.

Rong Chun, who didn't care that his pocket money was getting smaller and smaller, was still pulling out gifts.

"What's that, it's so cute!"

Suddenly, a white little doll attracted Wakana's attention, and Rong Chun handed it to her.

Wakana found out that it was a baseball uniform made of cloth and silk cotton, and a soft baseball hung next to it.

"This is what our Qingdao managers did."

"Huh!? Does the manager of Qingdao still have to do this? ”

"I thought the managers of the big clubs were all in charge of your training or something...."

"What does Qingdao look like in your eyes!"

Rong Chun looked at the friends who had added a lot of strange settings to Qingdao with some helplessness.

"Managers do the same kind of work

Their work is very complicated, a lot.

During the training camp, I was also responsible for cooking rice balls for us.

In the previous Koshien preliminaries, the managers also brought over a handful of paper cranes. ”

"Ahh That, I remember, like a rainbow, it's still very long, and it looks super much. ”

"That's amazing, the manager of the wealthy family...."

Wakana looked at the boys who showed envy and yearning in front of her,

"I'm really sorry, I'm not as good as a manager."

As someone else's current manager, Wakana's words made everyone pay attention to it.

"Where's it, where is it, the dishes are also superb, and the rice balls pinched are super delicious."

"Yes, yes, the record form is also very good."

Looking at everyone's flattering smiles, Wakana expressed disdain.

"In addition to that, I also brought something back..."

"And yes! Xiaorong, you shouldn't go bankrupt....."

Now Ashin and Wakana can't help but worry about Rongchun's economic situation. Rong Chun waved his hand and said,

"No, the only thing that costs money is the souvenirs of the omamori and Koshien.

I asked the managers for those little dolls, and they made a lot of them, so they gave me a lot. I even gave a lot of them to my classmates.

As for the rest of the gift, this is it! ”

Rong Chun quickly took out something from his bag and shook it in front of everyone's eyes.

"Discs?"

Ashin couldn't help muttering, Rong Chun withdrew his hand, stretched out an index finger with his other hand, and said mysteriously,

"Yes, but, this is no ordinary CD ....."

"Could it be...."

"No, it won't..."

"Rong Chun, you won't be captured by Qingdao, right?"

The more and more unreliable statements of friends made Rong innocent helpless,

"What are you all thinking, since I can get it back, it will naturally be approved by the overseers."

"That means ...."

"This disc...."

"Sure enough, it's a baseball video!"

Rong Chun nodded proudly under everyone's brighter and brighter eyes.

"Although they are all some information that can be searched, the managers are all well organized, very essence~~"

"Rongchun~~"

"Xiao Rong~~"

"I love you to death!"

Saying that, a few big boys pounced without hesitation and pressed on Rong Chun's body to express their excitement.

"Ah~~~, be careful, there's still a CD!! Be careful...."

Ruona carefully bypassed the boys, and from Rong Chun's hands and under him, she fished out a well-protected backpack, and looked at the many CDs in it.

Looking at the teenagers who made more trouble after not having the CD, he smiled softly,

"What a fool......"
