Shikiichi went back to that dreamland, and he couldn't remember how many times he had entered that dreamland.

Ever since he appeared in his dreamland, the environment seemed to be getting closer and closer to reality, such as the temperature of the body, the humidity of the air, the brightness of the sun, the direction and intensity of the wind, and the changes in the field turf, everything became more and more real, so that he couldn't tell the difference between reality and dreams.

Of course, in the dream, he will also do various exercises with the instrument.

Unconsciously, he has taken this incredible thing for granted, and feels that it is not bad to keep doing such a dream.

"I'm so tired!" After practice, the machine lay directly on the pitcher's mound.

"I'm really about to become your full-time catcher, don't forget that I'm the ACE of Chengfeng High School now, and the catcher's work has been handed over to Ah Lie!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Ji smiled, "But there is no way, you are the only one here except me......"

"Forget it, after all, after taking your ball a few times, I feel more understanding of the pitcher's position."

"Isn't that just right?" He sat up and laughed.

At this time, the sun was already setting in the west, and the sunlight was projected on the other side of the body, and only his shadow could be seen on this side, but it was enough to capture his slender figure. He took off his hat and ran his hand over his hair, beads of sweat falling down around him. Before he knew it, he seemed to have blended in perfectly with the scenery around him. Shiichi couldn't help but think to himself, if he was a girl, he might be hopelessly fond of him at this moment.

- But because I'm a boy, I've been able to keep up with him and fight on a stage like this until now.

Suddenly, Shiichi suddenly felt that such a picture was so beautiful that it lacked a sense of realism. A question suddenly arose in his heart: Can such a dream really go on forever?

"Spring is here, you're going to be in third grade soon......" sighed.

"Yes, after spring passes, it's the last summer."

After a moment of silence, he asked, "By the way, I forgot to ask you, how are the rest of the baseball club doing now?" ”

"Coach Kamibeppu is on maternity leave right now, and she may be giving birth in a few days," Shiiichi said, "but even if she comes back, she probably won't be guiding us as a coach, after all, there is already Coach Hisakabu." ”

"Coach of the lower part of the sun...... It's nice to be mentored by a former pro......"

Shikiichi sensed his regret from his words, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Yes, under his guidance, everyone has made great progress! Especially Kitahara and Nishizaki are two people...... Of course, the most powerful is Ah Lie! Shikiichi said, "And Shimozawa-kun, who is very qualified to be a starting pitcher...... Anyway, with these people, my pressure has been reduced a lot, and I don't have to play any more 4 sticks. ”

"So you're still acting as a stormtrooper instead?"

"After all, no one in the team ran faster than me, and sure enough, the 1 stick was more kind to me."

"Worthy of the captain!" Ji smiled, "Speaking of which, you are really good, and you are the captain, and the ACE back number, or 1 stick, sure enough, there is a 'one' in the name, and everything you do is very related to '1'!" ”

"I said don't make fun of me! With so many titles weighing on me, I'm going to die of exhaustion! ”

"But that's good......"

Shiyi once again heard his unwillingness from his simple exclamation.

"But don't worry too much about me," he said with a smile, "come on, your words may be able to lead them to the top......"

***

"Then leave it at that, you have to do your best, Captain!" Senior Nakano said to Shikiichi after the graduation ceremony.

Although he has long since retired, he still returns to the baseball club from time to time in the past six months. Looking back, Shiichi feels that the past two years have been really taken care of by him. Although there were scouts who approached Nakano before, he refused because he chose to go on to higher education, and eventually entered the University of Tokyo with quite good grades.

Shikiichi heard from Principal Nakano that becoming a Nobel laureate like Shin Tone was a dream that Nakano had had since he was a child. But in this way, he was quite interested in baseball, so he joined the Nishinomiya Youth League in junior high school. At first, he just had the mentality of trying it out, but he didn't expect that he really fell in love with baseball and immersed himself in it. When faced with the choice of a career, he also struggled for a long time, but the reason for this decision was quite simple: if you enter professional baseball, you will never have the opportunity to engage in scientific research again, but if you are engaged in scientific research, you can still occasionally play baseball.

Now that Shikiichi himself has been promoted to the third grade, the remaining year, in the baseball club without Nakano, he is not sure whether he will fulfill his duties as captain and lead this team well. Even now, he still has no bottom in his heart......

***

Chengfeng has long been disqualified for this Chunjia, but as the captain of last year's Chunjia sub-army, Shiyi still participated in the opening ceremony, because there was a flag return ceremony at the opening ceremony.

- I didn't qualify for the competition, but I still had to show my face here, and I still had a quasi-winning pennant, this process really didn't want to go through it a second time......

【Contest over!】 Akashi Chaofeng Gakuen defeated Osaka Tongyang 5-3 to achieve summer and spring hegemony! 】

Akashi Chaofu, who had an unsatisfactory performance in the autumn tournament, finally qualified for the spring armor, and Daisuke also returned to the team, and Akashi Chaofeng seemed to be reborn, and his performance on the spring armor was invincible, and finally won the championship. This year's Akashi Chaofeng is extremely strong, and Shiiichi realizes that if he wants to set foot on that stage again, he must first face off against Akashi Chaofeng.

- If they are the strongest in the country, maybe it will be a blessing.

On the other hand, Mofu High School, the new champion of the autumn competition, lost to Hoshira High School in Ishikawa Prefecture in the quarterfinals, but his surprisingly winning tactics made Mofu famous all over Japan. Before you know it, Hyogo Prefecture seems to have become a fierce battle zone that will not lose to Tokyo.

- Daisuke and Marubenhiro brothers are both so eye-catching in Chunjia, maybe there will be a lot of scouts to find them next, right? Maybe they've already decided to go the way of the pros? Everyone seems to have a clear goal, so what should I do? Isn't it time to have a long-term goal and work towards it? Five years from now, ten years from now, what should I do?

“1、2、1、2……”

Shi Yi raised his head and saw that this year's new recruits were doing running exercises, and the two people running in front of him chased after me, and no one let anyone. At this point, he seemed to remember something.

Yes, he seemed to be following in someone's footsteps before, and he once desperately hoped that he could always see that person on this road, and he would follow him wherever he went, and as long as that person continued to play baseball, he would continue to accompany him. But that person disappeared from this road, so has this road come to an end?
