On the day of the victory, the hearts of the Qingdao players were filled with joy and sorrow, and the night that was supposed to be a carnival was filled with worries.

So early the next morning, Superintendent Kataoka came back from the hospital and brought good news,

"Sawamura's body temperature has dropped a lot, although there are still some low-grade fevers, but they are already within the controllable range."

"Great, Sawamura is so worrying."

"When you come back, you must educate him well, as a junior, the seniors worry so much."

"Okay, it shouldn't be long before Sawamura will come back, you guys just focus on your training, and the next thing is Koshien, the opponents are all at the national level, don't relax because you win Inami."

"Yes!"

Superintendent Kataoka looked at the backs of the students leaving, but there was a rare trace of frustration on his serious face. Although this morning, Sawamura Eijun's body temperature dropped, but he never woke up.

"It's the same with Chris, it's the same with Sawamura, and I'm not really fit to be a coach."

Superintendent Kataoka said to himself, and after sighing, he was going to clean up his own hospital, although Rong Chun's family was there, but as the superintendent, his student had such a big illness and didn't realize that it was his own problem.

Superintendent Kataoka, who came out of the office with something, was stopped by Rei Takashima,

"Superintendent Kataoka, you better take a rest first, just now Sawamura's mother called me and said that you didn't close your eyes all night."

"It's okay, the student's situation is like this now, and I can't rest at ease."

As a friend for many years, Takashima Rei naturally understood Kataoka's thoughts, and felt that it was his own problem that the student became like this, so Takashima Rei had to comfort,

"You can rest assured, I will go to the hospital and continue to guard. I am mainly responsible for Sawamura's illness and no one found out, not only because I didn't take care of the students properly, but also because I didn't take care of the internal affairs of the baseball club in a timely manner.

What's more, this is a very special time, these children in the school also need you, and Sawamura's illness itself has made them uneasy. ”

Looking at Rei Takashima's worried eyes, Superintendent Kataoka grabbed his hair, and finally agreed with what Rei Takashima said, although he was worried about Sawamura, but now the baseball club also needs him.

Watching Superintendent Kataoka turn this corner, Rei Takashima smiled,

"Then you can rest well, I have already told Yucheng and Izaki that the training from morning to noon will be carried out normally, and I will go to the hospital to accompany me now."

"Ah, excuse me, Takashima."

Superintendent Kataoka turned around and returned to his office, closed the curtains, and lay down on the couch, closing his eyes to recuperate. But in his mind, he kept replaying all kinds of images from the past, how many times in the past six years, he had seen students crying, when they lost the election, when they failed, when they were injured, there were too many.

But after all this time, has he really changed? In this room, Chris once held his arm, and Tamba stroked his ankle in the arena, and Sawamura is still unconscious.

"What a failure, Kataoka Iron Heart."

With chagrin and unwillingness, Superintendent Kataoka, who had been busy for a day and a night, finally fell asleep.

On the other side, Rei Takashima, who came to the hospital, was also apologizing to Sawamura's mother,

"I'm sorry, it was all our mistake that caused this to happen."

Sawamura's mother looked at the deputy minister Takashima who bowed to her, and quickly helped her up,

"It's okay, it's okay, Rong Chun is already so old, he must know his physical condition, he hasn't said that he obviously has his own plans.

And Rong Chun also had such a thing happen before, because of a fever and couldn't wake up or something, and when he came to his heart, I asked him why he had a fever and didn't say it, and he also told me that he didn't feel anything when he fell asleep, and he thought he was dreaming, that child should be dreaming now, you see he's still smiling.

In that final, you can let Rong Chun play, our family is very happy, I also went to watch the game when Rong Chun was in middle school, but until the end, Rong Chun was crying, so yesterday it was the first time I saw that child smiling so happily. ”

Sawamura's mother grabbed Rei Takashima's arm and recalled the Rong Chun she saw in the stands on the day of the final, from the stunned at the beginning, to the smile that bloomed when her teammates rushed up behind her, making her seem to see Rong Chun a long, long time ago.

["Now, Mom, what is this? ”

Xiao Rongchun held something he picked up from the lawn in his hand and asked Sawamura's mother, who looked at it,

"This is baseball, where did Xiao Rong find it?"

"Over there~"

Sawamura's mother looked in the direction of Eijun's finger, and not far away, a teenager in a baseball uniform was looking down for something.

Sawamura's mother took Rong Chun's other hand and walked towards him, at that time, Rong Chun's hand was so small that he couldn't grasp it at all, so he could only hold the ball and follow his mother's steps.

"Well, are you looking for this?"

Sawamura's mother asked softly, the boy raised his head, saw Sawamura's mother, and then followed her gaze to see the baseball that Xiao Rongchun was holding in his hand, and the boy said embarrassedly,

"Well, they accidentally threw it over here just now, and we're training on the field over there."

"That's it, Xiaorong, come and give the baseball back to this brother."

Xiao Rongchun was a little unhappy, but he still obediently returned the baseball to the boy, and after taking the baseball, the boy thanked him again and ran away one by one.

Xiao Rongchun ran a few steps after him, lying on the fence over there, reluctantly watching his new toy run away with others.

But it didn't take long for Xiao Rongchun to stop care, he was looking at the many people on the field with bright eyes passing the baseball around, and the excited Asawa Village mother said,

"Mom, Mom, look...."

"Wow, that's amazing."

In this way, Sawamura's mother took Xiao Rongjun to watch baseball on the sidelines for a long, long time until the end of that game.

Xiao Rongchun applauded vigorously there, attracting the group of teenagers on the field. These teenagers in the game, their two schools don't even have formal venues, and they still need to come to the outside court to play the game, and it is the first time they have encountered such a small audience.

I saw that the young man who came to look for the ball just now ran over, Xiao Rongchun looked at the big brother in front of him with some doubts, and saw the young man, standing on tiptoe, trying to reach over with his hand, and still holding a baseball in his hand,

"This is for you, you like it very much, don't you?"

Rong Chun looked at the hard-working big brother and subconsciously took it, the young man stood up and breathed a sigh of relief, while Sawamura's mother was a little embarrassed,

"What's so embarrassing about that...."

"It's okay, I've already told the teacher."

Then he smiled and said to Rongchun,

"Baseball is fun, I'll teach you how to play baseball the next time we meet."

Then he heard his teammates call him again, and the boy waved at Rong Chun and left. Sawamura's mother saw that the time was almost up, so she left with Xiao Rongjun.

Walking and walking, Xiao Rongchun suddenly tugged at the corner of Sawamura's mother's clothes, Sawamura's mother lowered her head in confusion, and saw Xiao Rongchun smile happily at her,

"Mom, I also want to be like that big brother, hit... Play baseball!"

Looking at her son's innocent smiling face, Sawamura's mother also smiled dotingly,

"Well, why don't you go home and ask Dad to buy you baseball equipment for the kids?"

"Hmm!" 】

It's been so long since that day, and I've grown from a kid who could only throw balls and even kick them and run around when he picked them up. ’

Obviously, her child is still asleep, but Sawamura's mother is strangely not worried, and she can vaguely feel that Rong Chun is not uncomfortable now, probably something.

Sawamura's mother helped Rong Chun tuck the corners of the quilt and touched Rong Chun's soft hair,

Wake up early, everybody's worried about you. ’

Yesterday, Rong Chun fell asleep on the bed after returning from the cafeteria, and in a hazy moment he felt as if he had turned into a breeze and drifted into the distance.

After some time, he came across something and stopped. Rong Chun touched it lightly, and then felt something drain from his body, this feeling was like the dream he had been in for a long time.

Time passed little by little, and his mother's voice gradually came to his ears, calling him all the time. Rong Chun tried hard to open his eyes, and some dazzling sunlight made him blink to adapt to the surrounding situation.

"Rong Chun, you're awake!"

"Sawamura-san, how are you feeling!"

The joyful voices of his mother and Takashima Rei came from his ears, and Rong Chun turned his head slightly and saw the situation around him,

'Ah, I'm in the hospital, why does Takashima-sensei seem to be crying....'

Without waiting for Rong Chun to guess what was going on, he saw Vice Minister Takashima Rei rush out and go to the doctor, completely forgetting that there was a call bell in the ward.

Sawamura's mother looked at Rongchun lovingly,

"Rong Chun, are you dreaming again?

"Seems like so."

"Was it a dream?"

Rong Chun blinked, thought for a moment, and said with a smile,

"Yes, I don't know what I dreamed of, but I feel filled with joy and I'm happy."

Sawamura's mother touched Rongchun's head and said,

"That's good, but then I'll apologize to Mr. Takashima and the school supervisor and teammates, you scared them."

"Hmm!"

In the end, after the doctor's examination, Rong Chun had no other problems, and as the high fever subsided, his body functions completely returned to his previous state.

However, since Rong Chun's body was in a state of fatigue, the doctor recommended that Rong Chun repair in the hospital for a day or two. In this way, Rong Chun, who had recovered his body, still couldn't return to Qingdao, so he could only make a phone call to go back.

"Moses Moses, Kuramochi senior?"

"Sawamura~~, have you woken up? Are you okay? Is there anything else uncomfortable? Will you be able to catch the game? ”

"There are a lot of problems, but the contemptible Sawamura has fully recovered, and there is no discomfort. However, the doctor still advised me to stay for two more days, and I should be able to come back before the game, but I don't know if the supervisor will let me play, hey~"

When I heard that Rong Chun woke up, Superintendent Kataoka came to the hospital as soon as possible, and stared at Rong Chun for 25 minutes with super momentum, Rong Chun felt that his ward was about to become an ice cellar, and he didn't know if he would catch a cold.

I still remember the black face of Superintendent Kataoka who was about to drip ink, and he didn't say a word to Rong Chun, Rong Chun felt that his future was bleak.

"Stupid, listen to the doctor, come back in perfect condition... Ah, Senior Chun, don't snatch my phone. ”

"Hey, Sawamura, can you hear me?"

"I heard it, Izuoshiki-senpai, what a loud voice."

"Huh!? What did you say... Forget it, I don't bother with you, I'll come back early when I'm well, do you hear? ”

"Listen to the doctor..."

"You are still far from having a fever caused by excessive stress."

"Woo Ka, Ozawa Village, I bought a new flavor of pudding and am waiting for you...."

“......”

From the beginning of Izuoshiki's predecessors to grab the phone, it has become a mess at that end, to be honest, Rong Chun has several seniors who haven't heard the instructions clearly, it's really helpless. In the end, the team leader made a final decision and let the patient have a good rest, which ended the call.

"The seniors in school?"

"Well, it's noisy, isn't it?"

"Well, a fight with Rong Chun that you have."

"Why, I'm not noisy at all..... However, the school is full of some super good seniors, and I like them the most. ”

"Ah, then you have to get along with everyone."

"Understood!"

Looking at Rong Chun's nondescript military salute, Sawamura's mother was amused again.

"You~~"

This side of the ward is a warm mother and son time, and the Qingdao side is a hot-blooded athletic man. After hearing that Rong Chun had nothing to do, everyone's hanging hearts were put down and they put all their energy into training.

Never let the juniors get sick because of too much pressure again, as seniors, they must make the best example for the juniors, and then proudly tell them,

"Just watch our backs and work hard."

Rong Chun's warm time didn't last long, when Sawamura's father took Sawamura's grandfather over, Rong Chun received a spur from the old man's love, and the nurses who watched it were stunned.

"Stinky boy, you're too good at causing trouble."

"I'm sorry~~"

"It's too quiet to hear."

"Dad, it's not allowed to be loud in the hospital...."

Sawamura's father hurriedly stopped his old man who let himself go, and Sawamura's mother was apologizing to the medical staff.

Grandpa Sawamura saw the curious, dissatisfied, and disapproving eyes of the people around him, and restrained his loud voice,

"Ahem, stinky boy, come back and wait for me."

Although the fierce Sawamura grandfather, but also very distressed about his grandson, otherwise he would not have taken the train early the next morning, seeing that his grandson was not bad, after asking the doctor, Sawamura's grandfather was relieved to go back, and it was a time for a lot of things in the farmland in the summer.
