"Heisei In 2020, the cherry blossom blooming frontline reported: Due to global warming, the cherry blossoms will bloom 4-5 days earlier this year."
The female anchor on the TV pointed to a screen showing a map of Japan, with different lines marked in different cherry colors from south to north.
"The first place where the flowers will bloom is Fukuoka at the southernmost tip of Japan. The time is predicted to be on March 24. Audiences who want to see the first wave of cherry blossoms should not miss it. Afterwards, the footsteps of cherry blossoms will follow Tokyo, Osaka, Sendai, and Sapporo. Audiences who are chasing cherry blossoms should not miss the blooming time..."
Everyone at the table was attracted by this news. At first they wanted to see when the cherry blossoms would bloom this year, but then they were caught by the female anchor.
Miyuki was stunned for only a second, and then turned around, the corner of his mouth curled up in a curve.
"Kuramochi, stop looking and wipe your saliva quickly."
The person on the opposite side was startled and immediately raised his hand reflexively, but the shortstop's super reaction ability made his hand stop in mid-air after only moving for a moment, "You bastard!"
He grabbed Miyuki by the collar and squeezed their dinner plates in between.
"What are you talking about!" The strong pressure in front of him did not make the catcher retreat.
"What's wrong? There was a grain of rice in the corner of your mouth just now. I just reminded you to wipe it off."
Kuramochi became angry at the speed with which he opened his eyes and told lies, but the catcher's eyes were questioning, as if to say, it's your turn to reply.
What's the reply?
'I didn't leave any saliva!? '
'I was just concentrating on watching the cherry blossoms bloom, not the female anchor? '
Nothing seems right.
So two seconds later, Kuramochi shook him off, sat down and continued eating.
"Huh--" The people next to him felt relieved when they mentioned it.
The captain and vice-captain of the team have not been at odds for a long time. They have gotten along like an old married couple. If they were in this posture today when they first entered school, they would have stared at each other for a long time, but now they let go in just two seconds.
'You're mature. I heard that senior Isashiki and Yuki Captain were very difficult to deal with back then.. '
Kōshū interrupted his thoughts and accidentally thought of the seniors from the previous session.
It seems that as soon as the seniors left, there were more thoughts about them.
It is now early March, and there are only two grades left on the entire campus.
The school sheds its hair once a quarter. Now, during this period of drought, it is the time for short hair.
Kōshū's attention wandered among various information carelessly.
Yuki Captain practiced with the team at Seido until the end of November, then went to a special training base to practice Winter Training.
When I came back a month later, my body was noticeably stronger.
After graduation, it was only a few months before I met him again. I don't know if it was because of his hairstyle, but he quickly transformed into a young man.
"Come on, Kōshū. I'm ashamed to say that we, the third graders, relied on your strength to realize Koshien's dream. Everyone will probably pay attention to your future development. If you do, you will definitely be able to enter professional baseball. I will wait for you over there!"
Yuki Captain had no idea what passionate words he had said.
This was what a quasi-professional player said to himself. Kōshū suppressed his inner emotions and calmly exchanged fists with him.
"Yeah - Kōshū! Let's take a group photo!" Senior Isashiki had been preparing to come over for a long time. He waited until the two of them finished talking and couldn't wait to come over.
"Isashiki Senior, it's so heavy!"
"That's it, let's take a group photo with the three of us!" Isashiki said to the side.
A girl with a half-crown hair who looked a little older than them stood in front of the three teenagers with a smile and raised her camera, "One, two, three, cheese!"
In the photo, Isashiki is holding down Kōshū on the left, and Yuki is hanging on the right.
The person chosen for this photo is really good. Isashiki thinks this is the person who is most likely to become a celebrity. He stood between them and took the photo. When they become famous, he will hang it in his home.
He didn't know that graduating from high school felt like this. It was obviously just a transit stop in school, but his thoughts went to a long, long time later.
At that time, these people may no longer contact each other and leave photos, so that they can brag about their ordinary high school careers.
"Furuya——Come here too!"
Isashiki was busy taking group photos and individual photos on this day.
"Those people have a good relationship with you," the old lady who helped take the photos suddenly said as she walked out of the school gate.
"Ah? Of course!" But at this moment, Isashiki only had his sister left by his side. He stood on the dividing line between the school and the outside for a long time.
The last step to leave has not yet been taken.
'After this step, we really can't get together. ' It was like light bursting out from one point, scattering across the sky.
'Will we have such good friends again in the future? ' This thought turned into an unknown fear, imprisoning his legs.
"What's wrong, is there anything else?"
The sister turned around and saw her brother taking a deep breath, staring down at the ground, and taking a step forward solemnly and comically, as if his whole body had broken through some transparent barrier.
"Pfft——A Chun, are you doing this?"
"Stop laughing, go home." Isashiki is always teased by this sister, and she can't resist it.
"By the way, why don't you ask me how I figured it out?"
This question came out of nowhere, and Isashiki, who had already turned the page, was still surprised. "What do you see?"
"Tsk, those people are very close to you, what about this!"
His tone sounded angry, so he could only say it as a compliment, "Well, so why?"
"That's the expression of their expressions and bodies. Although they are smiling, their eyes are crying from time to time. You didn't notice that they are so excited that they go around asking people to take pictures. Also, when they take pictures, their bodies are facing you, which means they want to get close to you. Hum, this is a necessary accomplishment for a cartoonist."
My sister was talking proudly about her deductions, but suddenly she realized that there was another person missing from her side.
"Ah, where is the person?"
Turning around and looking around, I saw a young man holding many parting gifts in his hands, stubbornly looking up at the sky, his chest rising and falling uneasily.
"Hey! Don't cry, otherwise your parents will think I'm bullying you again!"
"I'm not crying!"
At this sad moment of separation, some people ruminate on their fear of the unknown alone, while others directly start their new lives.
"Ding——" A message came from Kōshū's mobile phone, which was about to take a rest.
When he opened it, his mouth opened briefly.
"Ah, Senior Nanmu has a girlfriend."
It seems that the graduation confession I made a few days ago is useful.
"I can't be the only one who knows this kind of 'good news'," he paused, and his men began to work non-stop, "Let's send it to a group."
"Ding——"
"Ding——"
"Ding——"
In Tokyo, Kanagawa and other places, a group of people received the same message at the same time, and jealousy lit up their chests like a glimmer of light.
"Go to hell, all Chi Noodles!"
In today's game, Ohtani staged a dramatic comeback in the 9th inning. When trailing 4-2, Ohtani tied the score with a double. He stood on second base and threatened the pitcher with his long legs.
Rendon hit a hit from behind, and Ohtani ran straight away! Come back! One point!
Achieve reversal!
