Rong Chun lay on the bed and tilted his head to look at the starry sky outside the window, sighed and closed his eyes, feeling the feeling of powerlessness and weakness coming from his body. In the long time since I played baseball, I have never broken through a single round in an official game, but I have played dozens of games in private, but it is the first time I have experienced it after a game like this. Moreover, it's just eleven goals, only eleven goals, why is this happening.

Rong Chun's palm on his forehead was tightly held, is this a famous family? Although I have known it for a long time, to be honest, this visit really made Rong Chun realize the sense of gap. It's not just the school's teachers, training equipment, or venues, it's the seniors who really shocked him.

----------------------------------------------------------- Memories Dividing Line-----------------------------------------------

"Are you okay, everyone was shocked when they saw him faint." Rong Chun looked at the senior who walked into him a little strangely, his clothes were still covered with dust, and there was unwiped sweat on his face, it could be seen that this senior ran over during training. Rong Chun carefully looked at the senior in front of him, thinking about where he had seen him or dealt with him, the more he looked at it, the more familiar he became, his round cheeks were bulging, and he looked a little shy,

"Ah, it's the squirrel senior on the pitcher's mound in front who was blown up by the fat senior."

"I'm from Kawakami Kenshi, and there are still things to do with the seniors, not fat." Squirrel, no, Kawakami senior looked at the child in front of him helplessly.

"Looks like you're recovering well, just don't have any major problems."

"Hey, I only have the advantage of being in good health."

Kawakami looked at Rong Chun, who was full of vitality, and finally put his mind at ease, although he felt that he wanted nothing to do with him, after all, it was because of himself that Rong Chun and Dong seniors had a conflict, in addition to wanting to see if there was any problem with this child, Kawakami came over for another reason,

"Sawamura-san, thank you very much for speaking for me, but I don't want you to have any bad opinions about Higashi-senpai or Seichi because of this. Although the Eastern seniors look fierce, have a very hot temper, and have a very bad mouth, he is really not a bad person. ”

Rong Chun listened to a series of adjectives from Kawakami's predecessors in front of him, and was confused, isn't such a person bad? Looking at Rong Chun's expression, Kawakami, who also knew that Rong Chun didn't understand what he meant, continued to explain,

"Although the method is a little rough, but the East seniors are really thinking about me, I am just an ordinary second-army pitcher, although the pitching posture is a bit special, but other than that, there are no strengths, I think so. However, Higashi-senpai told me that if I felt that I had no possibility, then I probably wouldn't have it. I can work so hard now thanks to Higashi seniors. Obviously the big game is approaching, and the East seniors should be more focused on themselves, but he will still train us juniors as always, in addition to me, there are many people who have been helped by the East seniors, all, the East seniors are really not a bad person. ”

Kawakami in front of him said a lot to Rong Chun, and even some were embarrassed to say to others, but Kawakami looked at Rong Chun in front of him, this kid had a pair of gentle eyes, which was completely different from the feeling of the pitcher on the hill, and he still listened patiently to an inexplicable senior who ran over. Even if such a child doesn't come to Aomichi Kawakami, he doesn't want him to have any bad memories here.

"Our school, whether it's the seniors or the overseers, they're all very gentle, and if you come here, you'll love it here."

Looking at the senior Kawakami who was smiling very shyly in front of him, Rong Chun had an inexplicable impulse in his heart. Compared to his own senses for a while, this senior who has lived here for a long time may be right, but for Eijun, everyone in Nagano is also gentle, so it must not be .....

"Allah, Kawakami-san, you're here, they're still waiting for you to train, why did you come here." Rei Takashima, who came back with the information, looked at Kawakami who shouldn't have been here, and it was a little strange.

"Ah, I'm just coming to see Sawamura-san, I'm going back, then, Sawamura-san, goodbye." With that, Kawakami hurried back to the training ground.

"Just wait, this is for Sawamura-san, I'll send you back now." Takashima didn't care too much about why Kawakami came, she had to send Eijun back early, otherwise there would be no train.

---------------------------------------------- the dividing line of reality---------------------------------------------------------

Thinking back to the day's glory and purity, he slowly entered the dream. And Sawamura Eijun witnessed everything today, what made Sawamura Eijun feel strange was that he had not experienced fainting before, and today's pitching was far from what the current Eijun could do, so....

Sawamura looked at his hands and realized that all this problem seemed to come from him. When he fell asleep in front of Rong Chun's bed last night, he dreamed of Qingdao, and remembered some things when he was still in his third year at that time, so Rong Chun would vaguely perceive something, so, if it was the other way around, if he dreamed of those bad things, would he dispel Rong Chun's idea of going to Qingdao?

'What am I going to do, what am I coming back for?' ’

A few days after returning from Qingdao, Rong Chun had no energy, although he ate, slept and studied as usual, but he still wandered from time to time, and all this, the family saw it, and in the face of Rong Chun's confusion, the family was not easy to say anything.

Then, I saw my friends after a long time at school, after all, Rong Chun never saw them again after coming back from Qingdao, watching them feel happy that they were poached by Qingdao Rong Chun, I don't know why, his nose was sour, and all kinds of feelings welled up in his heart, and the words that came to his mouth were swallowed many times, and he could only watch them smile stupidly. After a few times, the friends seemed to sense something and changed the subject, which made Rong Chun feel a little lighter.

When I got home, I questioned my grandfather who spread the news at the dinner table, although I was slapped with love, and even asked by my father if I was afraid that I would go to Tokyo alone, and was enlightened by my family, but Rong Chun knew no, he didn't think so.

The powerless Rong Chun could only return to his room and bury himself in the quilt to give a trace of warmth. Sawamura Eisun looked at Eisun, who had chosen a different choice from before, and knew that everything he had done had worked, but he didn't feel much joy in his heart. With a sigh, he left Rong Chun for the first time and went out on his own.

He didn't know if what he was doing was right, and he felt at a loss when he looked at Rong Chun, who was completely confused. He once betrayed everyone and went to Qingdao alone, thinking that he could achieve everyone's expectations, but he failed everything.

He has been competing for the trump card for two years with the valley, and he only has that period of time. He even felt that his trump card was just because of the injury of the valley, and he was just able to do it at that time, maybe everyone in Qingdao also had expectations for him, but he lost it.

So knowing that you can't do it, do you still want to leave your friends in Nagano and go to Aodo? Nagano's baseball level is not strong, and with his own help, he may be able to take everyone to Koshien, Sawamura Eijun originally thought so, but now he is not sure.

"Now, is it really okay for us to do this? Xiao Rong looked like he wanted to say something. ”

"What do you say, want to be with us? Don't go to Qingdao? ”

Sawamura Eisan followed the voice and saw his companions, and then he realized that he had unconsciously walked to the secret base that he had often built with everyone.

"However, I still really want to play with Rong Chun, and I don't want to be separated from Rong Chun."

"What are you all thinking, that's Qingdao, Mingmen!! Besides, even if Rong Chun stays, he may not be able to be admitted to our school, and Rong Chun is different from us, he is talented. ”

"But, but it feels so lonely."

Sawamura Eisun looked at the arguing partner in front of him, it turned out that they had found out before, it turned out that they were thinking like this at this time.

"What's the use of saying that?" Wakana's slightly cold voice came, and she sat on the stone with her knees crossed, looking out into the void of air.

"If Rong Chun really didn't want to go, he would have said it a long time ago, and he wouldn't be so entangled, you know it too, he just can't let us go."

The friends all quieted down all of a sudden, looking at each other, and everyone's eyes were clear, although they felt unwilling, but Rong Chun was indeed attracted by Qingdao.

Ashin looked at the quiet crowd, gritted his teeth, and said: "We can't decide anything, the choice is in Xiao Rong's hands, I will still congratulate Xiao Rong on being poached by Qingdao, if Xiao Rong chooses to stay, I will help Xiao Rong be admitted to our school, if.... If Xiao Rong chooses Qingdao, then I will smile and bless him. Because I want to see Rong Chun who smiles brightly, and he who shines even more dazzlingly. Ashin clenched his fists tightly, he was very unwilling, but he couldn't let Rong Chun shine in the place he liked, as a catcher, he couldn't exert all the power of the pitcher, and he couldn't help the pitcher, which was probably the most annoying and unwilling.

"All we can do is wait, because Rong Chun's future can only be decided by Rong Chun, no matter what decision Rong Chun makes, I will support it, maybe it will be lonely in the future, but I hope he doesn't regret it. Moreover, Rong Chun is Rong Chun, and no matter where he is, he will not change this. ”

“.......... Hmmm"*8

Sawamura Rongchun looked at everyone who went back together, and said in a low voice: "Is Rongchun's future only Rongchun decided?" He looked up at the starry sky and smiled.

"It's beautiful."

Sawamura Rongchun, who returned home, looked at the disc that was stuffed into the corner, and then looked at Rongchun on the bed,

"This time I must make a decision that I don't regret."

Rong Chun, who was asleep, entered a magical environment again, he seemed to dream a lot, experienced a lot of feelings, happy, sad, excited, low, guilty, etc.... But there is no such thing as regret.

Sawamura Rongchun looked at his expression for a while, and felt a little funny, his expression was really rich, and he looked so ugly. Finding that his body was gradually becoming illusory, Sawamura Eijun smiled contentedly.

"Goodbye, Rong Chun."
