When he got home, Shikiichi opened the letter.

Sometimes he brings the perspective of God, sometimes he brings the perspective of the instrument, and then he knows the story of the instrument.

***

He came from an ordinary working-class family, and if there was anything special, it was probably that his parents had studied in Japan and had established a relationship during his study abroad.

However, he was quite precocious, and by the time he was in kindergarten, he was already as sensible as an upper elementary school student. But he can't fight like this, and when he encounters a bully child, he will always teach him a lesson, and he has also developed the ability to fight.

If he grows up smoothly, he will definitely be a talent no matter where he grows up. However, at the age of 6, his life changed......

That day, my parents came back from a class reunion and brought back a few videotapes. That night, his father showed him a video, and he became addicted to it.

It was all the footage of Koshien games back then, and he watched it from beginning to end, game by game, and then watched it again from the beginning.

His parents were surprised that he watched a baseball game that even adults might not know the rules, but he watched it with relish. Later, his parents even bought him a DVD of "Baseball Heroes" for him to read.

One day when he was in second grade, his father told him that the tapes had been given to him by a friend of his, who had also played baseball in a Japanese high school, and that his son happened to be in the same class as him. Soon, he locked on that classmate, Nan Shiyi.

That classmate's initial impression of him was that he was a fast runner and the only one in the class who couldn't run, but because he was of mixed Chinese and Japanese descent, he seemed to be often bullied by other classmates, and he could only rely on those scuds to keep escaping. On that day, he decided that he was going to teach those classmates who bullied Shiichi a lesson, and then approached him and became friends with him.

In his eyes, although Shiyi seemed a little weird, he found that this person was very interesting after a long time of contact, and before he knew it, the relationship between the two people began to get better, and they began to visit each other. Then one day, he saw a lot of baseball-related things at Shikiichi's house.

At that time, he began to think about becoming a baseball player when he grew up. For him at that time, perhaps the Olympic gold medal was more exciting than getting a Major League Baseball World Series championship ring.

I heard that many of the balls in Japan have been playing baseball since the fourth grade, so when he was in the fourth grade, he finally mentioned his father's matter to Shikiichi. Then, they used this as an opportunity to get into baseball. Although it's just a simple passing and receiving, it's like playing at home compared to those Japanese kids who play little baseball, but even so, playing with Shiichi in the community every weekend has become his happiest thing.

When I entered junior high school, my homework load became heavier. He wondered if it would be nice if the two of them could play like this in the future......

However, one day during the summer vacation of the fifth grade, he suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized, and he was unable to go to school until the beginning of the sixth grade. Although he was later discharged from the hospital, he saw that his parents were depressed all day long - he was already aware of the possibility that he might be suffering from some incurable disease.

He was diagnosed with pediatric osteosarcoma, which was still early when it was discovered, but even so, chemotherapy and surgery required a huge amount of money, which was a bit tight for an ordinary working-class family, and most importantly, it was impossible to get a bed in time at that time.

Not to mention his future dreams, maybe he may not be able to hold on after graduating from primary school. The fact that he was just a kid after all was too cruel for him.

"Come to my house this weekend to play passing......"

Shikiichi who appeared in front of him at this time was the only light in his heart, and the familiar voice awakened his desire for life and his yearning for the future. For him, this half-breed in front of him seems to have been his salvation.

He doesn't want to die, he wants to live! That night, he cried and confided the idea to his parents.

Then, as if he had thought of something, his parents quickly went through the transfer procedures for him, and the place of transfer turned out to be Japan.

That night, Shikiichi fell asleep again. The man greeted himself as if he had been waiting for him for a long time, somewhere in the stands.

"Have you read the letter yet?" asked.

"I did, but it's too long, I haven't finished reading it yet......" Shikiichi said.

"Sure enough, I knew when I saw you," said the device, "You must be curious why I suddenly went to Japan when I was terminally ill, right?" Although there is an explanation in the letter, since you are here, I can just tell you. I didn't actually think of ......."

"Why?" Shiichi asked curiously, "Could it be related to Senior Nakano?" ”

"That's true, but to be precise, it's more related to Nakano's father, Principal Nakano," he said, "Dr. Mogami was the one he helped contact, and he even helped pay for the operation...... So I have to repay the favor......"

Shikiichi was stunned for a moment, and his heart was filled with ten thousand puzzles for a while, but he soon remembered the conversation between his mother and them today, and seemed to know something, so he said, "Sure enough, Principal Nakano and your parents have known each other for a long time. ”

"That's right," said the instrument, "but I don't know why Principal Nakano paid so much to treat my illness, and maybe he owed my parents a lot of favor at that time." Even so, he was definitely my reborn parent. ”

"I see, ......the mystery in my heart has finally been solved," Shikiyi sighed.

"Dr. Mogami is the best doctor in the prefecture...... No, maybe the best doctor in the whole of Japan, not only was the surgery successful, but my body also recovered very quickly! "I used this as an opportunity to start playing baseball...... But...... I knew that you were going to study in Japan, but I never thought that I would come to the same school as you! When I see you again, don't mention how happy I am! ”

"I ...... Me too......" Shiiichi suddenly remembered that the reunion was discussed between his father and Qi, and he couldn't help but smile indifferently, "But...... It's still the happiest to play with you......"

"Me too! Because of you, I had the happiest days of my life! ”

"But...... We'll never have a chance to play together again......" At this point, Shiiichi suddenly realized that he was not feeling good in his heart, and immediately regretted what he had just said.

"I'm sorry......" said with a bow of his head, "I thought that I would be blessed if I didn't die, but I didn't expect it to relapse after I entered high school...... Do you know? I actually wanted to help the team win the national championship and retire and receive treatment, but I didn't expect that I would get sick before the most important Spring League final, and I couldn't help you dominate the country......"
