Sawamura Eijun looked at everyone who was rebounding and couldn't help but think a lot. Everyone laughed together, moved forward together, surrounded their childhood selves in the center, so happy, so carefree, but the ending was destined to be sad.

Because of the high morale, everyone worked hard to suppress the opponent who was ready to take advantage of the victory to pursue. However, I don't know if it's because of the passage of time, the opponent hit the hit many times, and the ball kept hitting the outfield, the right fielder flew high, the left fielder went out of bounds, the opponent played better and better, and with a four-stick hit in the sixth game, the game was completely reversed. Looking at the changing numbers on the scoreboard, it was like a boulder pressing on the growing grass, tightly pressing everyone in Akagi Middle School, and at this time, Rong Chun, who was still encouraging everyone on the pitcher's mound, was like the sunlight shining through the cracks in the stones, so warm, but so faint.

The teammates guarding behind Rong Chun deeply felt that the back of the pitcher on the mound was so tall, but so far away. Obviously grew up together and founded a baseball club together, why did I gradually feel that the distance with that person was close but I couldn't touch it. The comeback at the end of the game was probably desperate, after all, they have not been very good players.

"Whew..... Phew...."Rong Chun supported his knees with his hands, breathed heavily, and wiped the sweat on his head with his sleeve. 'It's so uncomfortable, my throat hurts when I breathe, and I sweat all the time, so annoying........ But I can still move my arms, I can still hold the ball in my hands, I can lift my legs, and most importantly----- I'm still standing on the pitcher's mound, and I can still shoot! Rong Chun raised his head and looked fixedly ahead, the light of hope in his eyes had not yet receded. In front of him, there is Ashin who has always supported him, and he is obviously afraid of pain, but he will never refuse the request to pitch. You can clearly hear the voice of the guard behind her, and Wakana's shouting is a little broken, and even if you don't have to look back, you can feel her face red when she shouts.

'Ah, that's enough. Rong Chun looked up at the sky, the sun was so bright that he needed to hold a glove to block it, "The weather is so good." ”

'It's enough to have them, there's nothing missing, so don't get in the way, we're going to the whole country!' Honey-colored eyes stared at the glove in front of him, pushed it high, and smashed the ball in his hand forward.

Sawamura Eijun closed his eyes and couldn't bear to see the next scene, that ball was the trigger for him to knock on the door of Qingdao, and it was also the ball that buried everything in his three years of middle school. That goal seemed to mock his three years of hard work, as if to say, "Look, how weak you are, you can't even win a battle, the whole country, it's just a joke." You can't do anything. ”

I heard the referee chanting "Game over, two schools, the whole team,." Sawamura Eisun stood on the sidelines and watched everything he had experienced, and found that the winner was smiling, but the loser was not crying, which he only found out today as a bystander, probably at that time they didn't care about winning or losing, they just cared about every time with Eongchun. There was only one exception, the pitcher who was still on the pitcher's mound and was reluctant to come down, unable to accept the end.

"Classmate, hurry up and get into the ranks." The referee looked at Rong Chun, who was standing with his head down, and admired Rong Chun's struggle and hard work, but there are always winners and losers in the game.

Wakana also reminded Rong Chun: "Rong Chun..." but saw where Rong Chun was crying silently, gritting his teeth and stubbornly cried.

"I'm sorry..... Woooooooo The ball he threw in his mind kept replaying, slashing through the trapper's gloves and mercilessly smashing into the net. I made an agreement to take everyone to the whole country, and I clearly said that I would give the last honor to my alma mater, which is full of memories, but because of my own loss.......

Rong Chun gritted his teeth viciously, tears continued to drip down his face, and gradually he couldn't hear the surrounding voices clearly, "There is no way to take you to the national conference." ”

"Rong Chun.." Looking at Rong Chun Ruocai's voice like this, I couldn't help but cry.

"Xiao Rong!"

The opponents who had already lined up looked at the scene in front of them, but they couldn't help but sneer, and some even laughed while holding their stomachs.

"Hahahahaha

"What is this guy talking about?"

"The team that can't catch the high flying ball and can't catch the rolling earth still wants to go to the national competition!"

"I remember that Akagi Junior High School is going to be abolished, and I'm here to make memories!"

"How can we lose to a team that has women, and we don't have to worry about ourselves."

Rong Chun listened to the disdain in his ears and the mocking words that kept spitting, silently turned his body around, faced the other party, looked at his left hand with blurred eyes full of tears, and muttered: "This is us.... The soul of Akagi Middle School. He raised his palms high, casting a shadow in the sunlight. The other party looked at Rong Chun's palm stupidly, and with a sound

"Abominable !!" There was chaos on the field

"Rong Chun"

"Papapapa"

"Ahh Wow.."

"Papapa"

"Classmate, stop it."

"Bang Bang Bang .."

In this way, the last ball game of Akagi Middle School came to an end.

Sano-sensei looked at Rongjun sitting in front of him with tears streaming down his face, and angry words flowed out like water

"Big fool, look at what good you've done, Sawamura." Mr. Sano kept waving his hands when he was excited, "You caused me not only to be scolded by the opposing coach and parents, but also to stare at me, you not only hit the referee, but also beat them plus the referee for a total of 12 slaps, right?" ”

Thinking of this, Mr. Sano couldn't help but hold his forehead, "You played baseball in junior high school for three years, and finally left this kind of record, is this really good?" ”

"Coach, your scolding is very reasonable." Rong Chun looked at Mr. Sano, who hated iron and steel in front of him, and realized the helplessness in the teacher's heart from the tears on his face and rich body language. With a serious face, he said, "It's really embarrassing for us to lose to a team with a hippie smile." ”

Mr. Sano helplessly looked at Sawamura Eijun, who had made a serious mistake in the content and theme, and was really defeated by this kid, "No, who will tell me to win or lose, I'm talking about the slap after that, the slap!" "Directly focus on this natural fool.

Hearing Mr. Sano say this, Rong Chun understood, his eyes widened, and he looked at Mr. Sano with a look of sudden realization, "Oh, that." ”

"Do you need to say that!?" Sano-sensei is already on the verge of collapse.

Rong Chun scratched his head and said with a smile, "I'm really embarrassed, hahahahaha." ”

Seeing such a Rongjun, Sano-sensei suddenly couldn't get angry for some reason, pulled out the chair behind him, put his hands on the back of the chair and sat upside down, facing Rongchun. sighed, and said slowly,

"You've finally led the whole team as the captain, I don't want to say that, this may affect your education."

"No problem." Rong Chun didn't expect that Mr. Sano was worried not about causing him trouble, but about his own way to school, Rong Chun smiled and said to the teacher, "If you play baseball, as long as you have a bat and a ball, you can play." ”

Mr. Sano looked at Rong Chun, who was so confident, that his glasses slipped off the bridge of his nose.

"Haven't we been calling like this all along?"

Looking at Rong Chun, who was relaxed and ignorant, the homework teacher didn't know how to tell him the worries in his heart, "I didn't mean that...."

"Sawamura-san..."The principal, who was passing by at the door, heard the conversation between the two teachers and students, and couldn't help but walk in. Sano-sensei saw the principal and quickly stood up and said hello, "Principal..."

"If you really like baseball, you should abide by the so-called baseball rules, and you must not use violence even if you are helping your teammates." The principal said to Rong Chun earnestly.

Hearing the principal's words, Rong Chun was stunned, looked at the principal blankly, lowered his head and thought for a while, and said softly, "I know." ”

Looking at such Rong Chun, Mr. Sano didn't know what to say, but he felt more sorry for this free-spirited, cheerful and optimistic child. Under the gaze of the principal, Mr. Sano could only sigh slowly and decided to let Rong Chun go.

"That ......." Rong Chun had already run out of the door at some point, sticking to the door, only one head leaked out, with a big smile on his face, "I have already reflected on it, so I will retire first." Then he waved his arm at the teacher and the principal, pulled the door and ran. Leaving the principal and Mr. Sano, who was sweating profusely. Mr. Sano, who saw this scene, instantly left all his pity and worries behind, and angrily ran to the door and shouted to Rongjun, who was far away, "Stop, Sawamura." "Hey, hey, hey" Hearing Sano-sensei's roar, Rong Chun, who laughed out loud, didn't stop, and ran farther and farther.

Seeing this scene, the principal comforted Mr. Sano, who was about to burst his blood vessels because of Rong Chun.

"Forget it, forget it, Sano-sensei."

"But ......"

"He said that he wanted to leave a name on the school that was about to be abolished, and that kid practiced late every day for this goal, and to be honest, I was really proud of him!"

Mr. Sano looked at the principal standing by the window and recalled the bits and pieces before the game, and said stiffly, "Hmph, he said at every turn that he was going to participate in the practice tournament and asked me to prepare the bus, and if he won, he told me to please eat barbecue." Thinking of the wallet that was often empty at that time, Sano-sensei couldn't help but cry without tears, "I was so happy that I would never have to be played around by this kid in the future." ”

"I do that because my important partner is looked down upon." Mr. Sano's voice couldn't help but get deeper and deeper the more he spoke, and he became more and more hoarse, revealing the sadness in his heart, "Hmph~, this final game is really very similar to his style." ”

At this time, Rong Chun was looking out the window fixedly, constantly recalling the last ball to end the game in his mind. As a result, the country didn't win one win in three years. ’

And Sawamura Eisan walked around the campus after a long absence, and finally heard the words of the principal and Mr. Sano. He looked at the familiar faces in front of him, these teachers who had silently supported him behind his back, his eyes were full of pain. Sawamura Eijun's short life of more than 20 years has experienced a lot, but the people he met are so gentle and have given him a lot of help, but he has not been able to repay anyone, and in the end, he betrayed everything and returned to the place that was once betrayed and abandoned by him.

Sawamura Eijun leaned his back against the door, and the clouds floating in the sky cast shadows through the window, and Sawamura's figure looked a little erratic. Maybe it really won't hurt if you don't have it! ’

"Xiao Rong" everyone looked at Rong Chun who came back from the teacher's office with a happy face.

"Finally let you go?"

"Is Sano angry?"

Looking at everyone who was worried, Rong Chun said with a smug face, "He's angry, he's about to explode." I was so annoyed that I escaped. ”

"Wow" *7

Ruona looked at a group of silly and sweet boys, and calmly complained, "If you do that kind of thing, it should affect your education!"

Rong Chun looked at Wakana, who seemed to be a little unhappy, with a confused expression, "What are you doing, Wakana." ”

"What are you going to do, stupid." Wakana held her chin and showed a beautiful side face, but her tone was full of worry. "That's how you do things without thinking about the consequences."

Hearing this, the boys, who were still very happy, couldn't help but worry.

"Hahaha, what are you doing?" Rong Chun casually hugged the two people around him, hahaha laughed, such Rong Chun scared the people around him. "Don't worry, I'll go to the same high school as everyone else."

"Isn't that so!" Rong Chun let go of his arm, looked at his companions around him, and said seriously, "Even if the alma mater disappears after being merged, as long as we can get together, the soul of Akagi Province will never die." If you can't realize your dreams when you were in junior high school, let's start again together! ”

"Xiao Rong." Everyone was moved to see this friend who has been encouraging them to move forward for three years. Rong Chun's inexplicable feeling burned, "Wait, Koshien!" We're going to conquer you, hahahahaha ”

"And then." Ruona looked at the stupid guy who was on fire, and silently poured a bucket of cold water down to make him realize the reality, "If you don't participate in the promotion, then how are you going to be admitted to high school, the high school we are going to be admitted to, the deviation value is quite high!" ”

Hearing this, Rong Chun, who was still laughing wildly, instantly degenerated from the color version to a black and white stick figure, and when he saw this, he also understood that Rong Chun probably didn't think about anything, but simply thought that everyone could go to school together. "Hey.... Now the most worrying thing is your grades. ”

Rong Chun turned his head and looked at the little friend behind him hoping to see a companion, but he was destined to be disappointed, Rong Chun was probably the scum in the school bully group by mistake, "When did you secretly study!" ”

"Normally, I can read it!"

"Really, I only learned fractions in math."

"Well.... Too late. ”

"It's not too late!!!!!"
