"The first time I looked at Sawamura's face seriously seemed to be before the Red and White Tournament, when he gathered a lot of freshmen to discuss countermeasures.

Before that, I had been looking at Sawamura's back, and during morning exercises, he was always the first to come to the playground, and he was always the first one in line.

Even when I was in the class, I could see his back when I looked up, and even when that guy was in the class, he would always come to talk to me, maybe I didn't even look at him seriously once because of the disgust I had with Sawamura in my heart at that time. ”

Kanemaru said this, and Seto Takuma Shadow felt his delicate heart at the moment.

"It was shortly before the Red and White match, and at that time I really felt like a mess, I couldn't find my head, I didn't know how to do it, so when Sawamura called me, I passed.

I thought he would say a lot of high-sounding things to us to motivate us when we were about to race, but in fact he told us that there was no hope of beating those seniors.

I, who was nervous about the game, felt like I was about to explode when Sawamura said this, although he was not wrong at all. ”

Kanemaru said helplessly, as if he remembered the feeling of powerlessness.

After that, Sawamura and we seriously analyzed a lot, and we began to run in like finding an organization, and Sawamura put forward a lot of plans, obviously it was only a short three days, but each of us could feel our own progress.

Even in the end, Sawamura actually collected a lot of information about the seniors, and we have been looking at the seniors with envy, but we have never thought about them. ”

"No, that person wants to ....."

"More stupid?"

Kanemaru could think of what the freshmen's evaluation of Eijun was, so he followed up on Okumura Mitsushu's words, looking at Okumura Mitsushu who was silent again, Kanemaru knew that it was acquiescence.

"Sawamura does look like that, he looks silly, but that guy is surprisingly shrewd in baseball. It's hard to say at other times, but in baseball, Sawamura's acumen is quite amazing.

So he can always detect what we can't perceive, and under his guidance, we begin to pay attention to the information of our predecessors, and when we think it is foolproof, he can find loopholes in it. ”

At that time, Kanemaru's feelings towards Rongchun were very complicated, as one of the few young baseballs in Qingdao, Kanemaru, who had experience in hard baseball, still had a little juvenile pride at that time.

But after meeting Rong Chun, all of them were broken, and their physical strength was not comparable, and they couldn't even compare to the role of the team, so it was inevitable that they would be a little frustrated, but they were all covered up by the competition with their predecessors at that time.

"It was also the first time I went to see Sawamura seriously, and just like now, with that silly smile, what I said was extremely realistic."

"Then the seniors' results should be good, in terms of teamwork, the seniors must be much better than us."

"That's true, and even our seniors said that our class was probably the best team in years.

But the results are not as good as we imagined, it is better to clearly feel the gap between myself and my predecessors again, not with intelligence. ”

Takuma Seto thought back to his game today, although the score was much worse, it was a fiasco.

"After that, we also had a reflection meeting, and that's when I realized that the person who had been running at the front had been watching us.

He can call each of us by name and name what we did and what we didn't do in that game. At that time, in addition to being unwilling, there was probably a trace of happiness. ”

Kanemaru smiled, and the story he was about to tell was coming to an end.

"Except for the fact that the valley is directly entered the First Army, the second-year members of our current First Army basically entered the Second Army first, and Sawamura is no exception.

But unlike those of us who are desperately trying to keep up with the training progress of the Second Army, he is the only one who does not need to spend a lot of time doing basic physical training.

With more free time, he found a lot of seniors to do throwing practice, and his ball control was refined little by little at that time.

He belongs to the kind of person who likes to provoke others, and we sometimes hear the roar of our predecessors, but their relationship is very good.

Although Sawamura didn't stay in the Second Army for a long time, he was the only one among us who learned a lot.

Sawamura can play as a shortstop, and even his predecessors have praised him, and he has played as a first baseman, second baseman, and outfielder.

Everyone knows this very well, but Sawamura's existence is as if he is questioning this passage.

Later, when it was time for the decisive battle with Inashi, after Sawamura came on the field, he firmly suppressed Inami's line, and under the leadership of his predecessors, he won the ticket to Koshien.

It should be a very happy thing in itself, but that night Sawamura was admitted to the hospital with a high fever.

At that time, we knew that something was wrong with him since the pharmacist battle, and he had been in the pain of illness all the time, and at that moment, I was shocked.

Although Kanemaru also sensed that something was wrong at that time, he thought that Rongchun was not suitable for the follow-up game, and he had some stage fright.

"I don't know very well what happened between you and Sawamura, and you can't get used to seeing him, Sawamura himself is a big grinning person, and he can't feel the pain of stepping on others.

If there's really something, you can talk to him head-on, Sawamura is quite good at talking, and if he says it occasionally, it's quite philosophical. ”

Kanemaru looked at Mitsushu Okumura and said earnestly, Kanemaru knew very well that in the future, Rongjun would definitely partner with the two new catchers, so he didn't want their previous atmosphere to be discordant.

"I can't imagine the Sawamura-senpai you are talking about, he and what I see are not the same person at all."

Okumura Mitsushu was a little stubborn and refused to let go, obviously he also noticed it in his heart, but he couldn't believe it.

"But in fact, Sawamura is indeed such a person, big but very careful, naïve and black-bellied, all in all a contradictory person."

"Sawamura-seni in your mouth is a person who observes details, but he doesn't even know that people who have been training together in the cowshed for so long."

Mitsushu Okumura is referring to himself here,

"Are you saying that Sawamura doesn't know you?"

Kanemaru asked suspiciously, and he nodded calmly, not embarrassed by being ignored.

"Yes."

"No, Sawamura said he remembered all the first-year students."

Kanemaru said to himself strangely, at this time, Takuma Seto, who was on the side, thought all the doubts in his mind clearly.

When Sawamura-senpai stayed with the first grade, he was indeed a name that anyone could call him by name, and he never missed it! ’

Seto Takuma's eyes widened and widened,

But why would Mitsushu say that Sawamura-senpai didn't know him, Mitsushu couldn't have lied. ’

Seto Takuma seriously recalled all the clues before,

"'What are you, you're in first grade!' It's a first-year freshman! Sawamura-senpai seems to say so. ”

Takuma Seto whispered Eijun's words that day,

"This doesn't seem to be a question of who Guangzhou is, but a question of why Guangzhou, a first-grader, contradicts himself~~"

The more Takuma Seto thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was right, and the murmuring became louder and louder.

This made Kanemaru suddenly remember,

"Sawamura mentioned you, you should have played Eijun's pitch when he was feeding the ball before! I heard Rong Chun mention you later, but he didn't call you by name, so I forgot about it. ”

Kanemaru also looked like he had a sudden realization,

He also told us at the time that the new students were very good and distinctive.

He said that the formation of the shoji is the second of the alliance, Yui is the baby-faced junior, and Seto is the successor of the Scud, and you are a little wolf cub...."

“.....”

"What's that called..."

As a rather manly Seto Takuma, he couldn't understand Eijun's taste.

"That's Sawamura's habit, he will give nicknames to people with characteristics around him, but it is better to often call them nicknames and forget their names."

Jin Pill was also a little helpless when he mentioned this, and he didn't know how Rong Chun developed this habit, and he always gave others some strange nicknames.

"It's like Supervisor Kataoka and Supervisor Ochiai, one is the boss and the other is Guncao. Before, he also called the previous seniors what kind of silk-haired dog seniors, vicious-eyed seniors, or squinting-eyed monsters, young masters or something. ”

Kanemaru saw that the topic was a little crooked, and quickly pulled it back and said,

"He said before that Okumura you look cold, but in fact it is very similar to the valley, it is an active volcano, it will explode at one point, and the fighting spirit is super strong, and there is something that looks like the strength is not bad, and the blow is very accurate or something."

It's been a long time, and Rong Chun just said it in passing, and Kanemaru just listened to it, so he didn't remember these things much.

Okumura Mitsushu lowered his head, looked at his palm, and thought silently, everything he knew today did not match what he thought, as if his worldview had been refreshed and needed to be restarted.

Kanemaru looked at the time and found that he had no time to chat, so he hurriedly ran out to train, as for Okumura Mitsufune, Kanemaru had already said everything he could say, and the rest could only be experienced by himself, just like Kanemaru in the past.

"Light Boat ....."

"I.... I'm going to take a serious look at Sawamura's predecessors again.,I want to know what kind of person he is.。 ”

Seeing that Okumura Mitsushu figured it out, Takuma Seto relaxed a lot, and he was very relieved about his young tame itself.

"Then we have to start with an apology."

“....... Oh~~"

"I heard that you borrowed notes from Sawamura and came back. No problem? Didn't Sawamura barely pass? ”

Miyuki's voice was full of ridicule, but the overly natural Falling Valley didn't understand, but obediently gave Miyuki a look at the notes borrowed from Rong Chun like a treasure.

"I'll see... The pitcher's own problems.... You have to be familiar with your current strength ceiling and overcome the main problems concretely... Hey~~~, unexpectedly serious. ”

Originally, it was a bit of a joke to watch Miyuki, but the more he turned back, the more excited he became.

It's as amazing as if you think this is a man who lives by the wild, and suddenly you realize that he can make Gundam.

Especially when he turned to the back, there was even a writing about how to get along with the catcher or something, which made Miyuki a little subtle.

I always feel as if I was coaxed by Rong Chun inexplicably.

"Looks pretty good, it should be useful to you right now."

Sensing that this note doesn't create any negative impressions, Miyuki doesn't pay too much attention, and he has some small ideas lately, and he's been thinking about it, and now it seems to be worth a try.

For others, it is even more important to step up training now, and now the first army is not full but overstaffed, and they dare not let their guard down at all when they may be kicked out of the first army at any time.

"I didn't expect such a thing to happen at Sawamura's senior's school!"

Mitsuki's voice came out of the earpiece, slightly distorted.

"Well, I didn't expect me to be hated, it's incredible, my popularity has always been very good, it's the first time I've grown up so big or someone has said I'm an eyesore and told me to get out of the way."

Rong Chun's voice was a little aggrieved, it has been so long, Rong Chun is still in the middle of a bargain, facing a junior high school student, Rong Chun can also be coquettish without scruples.

"I think Sawamura-senpai is a very good person, that senior probably doesn't know you yet, the time you spend together is too short, give each other a little more time!"

"Since you've said so, I'm thinking about it!"

Rong Chun looked arrogant, and Mitsuki Terauchi smiled slightly on the other end of the phone.

"By the way, by the way, didn't I play a practice match with someone from another school before, but I didn't expect the pitcher on the other side to be the grandson of my grandfather Tanaka in Nagano, this world is too small!"

Mitsuki in the temple could feel Rong Chun's shock through his mobile phone,

"Wouldn't that be great? Sawamura-senpai didn't say that the pitcher was very good, you should be very interested in his pitching. ”

Rong Chun is a little entangled, it is true that Rong Chun is very interested in the pitching of this young pitcher who will definitely enter the professional baseball in the future, but his intuition tells him not to provoke subtlety, otherwise he will definitely have a headache.

"Ahh Did I show you the CD? There's a lot of green races on it. ”

"I saw it, and I also found Sawamura-senpai who was guarding in the field."

"No, your eyesight is so good, I was told by the managers that I found out it was a video of the game I played as an outfielder."

Rong Chun admired this young man a little, such a vague existence, what did he discover.

"Speaking of which, Mitsuki, why are you interested in baseball?"
