Because of the relationship between hand maintenance, the relationship between Rong Chun and the valley has improved, and with Rong Chun as the middleman, the relationship between the valley and the seniors has gradually eased. However, Rong Chun is a member of the Second Army after all, and the time for training in the First Army is still very small.

Rong Chun, who has enough rest, has also completely returned to the training and competition lineup of the second army.

"Bang!"

"How's that ball?"

Rong Chun looked excitedly at the senior Chris in front of him, and the senior Chris said lightly,

"It should be bombarded three times and fly straight to the TV wall!"

"Why?"

"Because the beaters are Bass, Kakebu, and Okada."

"But the sound of getting into the glove is great! Is it really because Chris's predecessor's strength is too strong that he has such a voice? ”

At first, Chris was worried that it would hit Rong Chun too much, causing him to collapse, but later found that although he did have an inferiority complex, he had been positive. Sawamura Eijun is a contradictory man, inferior and sunny, naïve and cautious.

"You can't eat it all overnight, I'm not telling you many times, don't worry about the effect. And you're not weak, it's because you're the glove that the sound is so loud. ”

"That's right, but I've been playing less and less recently in games, and the superintendent doesn't think I'm still far behind."

Rong Chun is a little worried, the valley that entered the first army has made a name for himself in the official competition, many people know that there is a monster newcomer in Qingdao, Koharu, Tojo, Kanemaru, and Takatsu of the second army are also gradually playing often, only him, at first, it seems to have attracted much attention, but the more he goes to the back, the more he feels that he is sitting on a cold bench, Rong Chun is inexplicably a little anxious in his heart.

Chris thought of what Inspector Kataoka had said, in fact, he wanted to tell Eijun that he would definitely be promoted to the first army this time after seeing his results, but his instinct told him that Eijun didn't seem to be worried about just the first army spot.

"What are you anxious about, Sawamura."

"I don't know, but there's always a feeling that I'm too slow. I've always wondered if I'm going to be a drag on my seniors when I'm playing now. But I want to play, I want to stand on the pitcher's mound! ”

Rong Chun's complicated gaze was seen by Chris, Chris sighed helplessly, took off the mask, and stood up,

"Come with me, Sawamura."

Rong Chun, who was interrupted by Chris's seniors and felt sorry for himself, followed his seniors to the dormitory, and in Rong Chun's shocked eyes, Chris's seniors took out a roll and handed it to Rong Chun.

"I've found out before, Sawamura, you, often get down for no reason, but when you study and study, you focus so much that you forget everything, and once the study is over, your mood will calm down, and now you may feel that I'm comforting you when I say anything, so let's talk about it when you're calm! Sa, let's start working on the questions now. ”

In the end, Rong Chun still couldn't resist the stubborn eyes of Chris's seniors, took the paper painfully, and wrote on the table. Senior Chris also took a book and started reading next to Rong Chun, and the room gradually quieted down, leaving only the rustling sound of Rong Chun's pen tip and the sound of Chris senior's flipping book.

When Rong Chun finally finished writing the last volume, he put down his pen and stretched, and found that his mood was indeed much better. Rong Chun's movements alarmed the focused Chris seniors on the side.

"How's it going, are you feeling better?"

"Well, just like the seniors said, it's a lot calmer."

Chris paused, but decided to tell Rong Chun his story,

"Then let's have a good talk, Sawamura. I used to be in the spotlight as soon as I entered the Qingdao Trail, and the supervisor and my teammates had a lot of expectations for me, but those expectations gradually became a kind of pressure..."Chris's eyes looked at a photo on the table, which was a photo of the members of the previous First Army, which his father had taken for him before the game.

"At first I felt like I could do anything because everyone trusted me, but then I felt that something was wrong with me, and I seemed to push myself too hard, but I couldn't stop even knowing that. Then I lost the game, and I started to feel like I couldn't do anything, and my shoulder injury got worse and worse, and you finally found out. I was forced to go to the hospital by the supervisor at the most critical moment of the game. Then the last summer of my seniors was over, and I started to hate my vulnerability, and I started to fantasize about whether I would have a chance if I could play. ”

Rong Chun felt the sad atmosphere around Chris,

"I've been trying to hope that I don't want to be a shortcoming of the team, that I can be a person who can be independent, but I overestimate myself and ignore my teammates, I know that my teammates are strong and I can rely on them, but I still want to be their dependence, and now I think about what an arrogant idea, I want to protect a group of strong people, but I forgot to ask them if they need my protection. Sawamura, you are the same now, you want to be able to support the whole team, lead the team forward, don't want to be the hind leg of the team, how similar you are to me at that time. Now I understand the feelings of my predecessors, Sawamura, we are seniors, we are also a group of people who are proud of ourselves, we can tolerate the strength of our juniors, but it will also be difficult to overcome your distrust, we can support the path that allows you to grow slowly, so please don't worry, follow your own pace to catch up. Before that, I promise you that you will definitely not lose this time. ”

Senior Chris smiled softly at Rong Chun, and the determination in his brown-green eyes seemed to pierce through all of Rong Chun's armor

"Yes!"

All Rong Chun's anxiety, all his empty thoughts completely disappeared this time,

I hate myself for being helpless and incapable now, but I would like to thank my seniors who have always supported me in my growth. ’

"Ah, here, here, Sawamura, Chris, what's the hang out in your room, come out, there's a lack of a pitcher for today's pitching drill."

"Ah, Daizen-senpai! But I'm feeling so good today, maybe I'll knock you all out. ”

Rong Chun laughed and walked out of the room, Chris behind him couldn't help but laugh when he looked at his back, and looked back at the photo on the table again, "Thank you for it, senior." ’
