"See Sano again?" From the strength of his son's sitting down, Shen Qing could tell that his son was angry.
"I won't be able to come back next time."
"You can't do this, are you so annoyed when you meet a woman?" Shen Qing joked. On the second day she came here, she met the lover of a high-ranking official, who was an acquaintance, so what that woman did, Shen Qing How could she not be clear? Sano knew better. In the final analysis, she was just a potted plant in the courtyard. She understood her situation very well. Although she had the intention of betraying her, she was just scratching the surface and scratching the itch.
"Bump--" Kōshū felt that it was not time for her to talk freely about the relationship between men and women with her parents, so she placed Shen Qing's cup heavily on the table to show her protest.
"Okay, okay, no more talking. Wait for me to return the book."
The two returned to the room, Kōshū poured out the soup, and Shen Qing cleared the table, looking like they were used to being served.
"You are living a very comfortable life."
"That's right, those who pay for it just want to live comfortably."
"Cut-"
"Where is Lang Zhi?" Shen Qing asked as if he had just realized it.
"You just found out? Lang Zhi will definitely cry if she finds out."
Kōshū explained to her that Lang Zhi was gluing a vase at home.
"Hahahaha, by the way, I heard that you are going to compete on behalf of West Tokyo?"
"Yes, so I have a day off this afternoon."
The two of them were on the small balcony, Shen Qing drinking soup, Kōshū looking out the window boredly, chatting about some family matters.
"Let's finish the drink. I'll leave immediately after drinking. I feel so exhausted here." Kōshū came alone and had nothing to talk to Shen Qing. He avoided the reception desk at the entrance and ran out. As a result, the woman ignored him again, which made Kōshū breathe a sigh of relief.
If all goes well, there will be four games left.
'If this was a sprint race, it would probably be equivalent to a national race. ' On the way home, his mind was still thinking about various games.
"I'm back -" Kōshū pushed open the door and saw Lang Zhi who was hurriedly putting on his shoes, "Are you going out?"
"Why are you back so soon??" Lang Zhi was not happy at all. He finally endured his grandfather's nagging.
"Don't tell me that you want to chase me there!"
"Is there anything you can't do? Come on, come with me again."
"Now that you've packed up, let's go for a run." Kōshū didn't want Lang Zhi to go alone Confinement Center, so he stopped at the entrance and dragged him directly to the club for a run.
The days of competition always pass by in a hurry. In the first week of June, it was still the same stadium that I visited during the Kanto Skills Competition. At this time, the stadium was covered with green grass, and the teenagers who had just rolled on it were already lined up, ready to receive medals and trophies.
In the stands, neatly gathered a large family, Mr. Sasaki, Shen Qing who had just given birth, and Sasaki, an old couple. They were full of excitement and were just waiting to shout out when the champion presented the award.
As the tallest one, Kōshū is not easy to wear when wearing medals. Coach Ninomiya has implemented his own coaching style and believes in the ace, but he will not let the ace bear all the burden of the team's victory. Therefore, in today's final, Shibasaki and Sato won one game each. Fortunately, this arrangement that made people sweat, did not affect the team's final victory.
"Since you are a man, let's continue!!!! -" A familiar voice from the audience, Kōshū, calmly did not look away, pretending that it had nothing to do with him.
"Kōshū, Lang Zhi, as your grandpa, I am very proud -" He is just a Spring Tournament champion within the league. Do you need to be as excited as winning the Koshien champion? In the stands, almost all the people sitting in the stands were competition teams or groups of relatives and friends. Their comments were suppressed by the old man's loud and penetrating voice.
"Pfft——"
"Haha."
The sound of teammates laughing could be heard around them. Kōshū and Lang Zhi lowered their heads in shame, as if this was not an award ceremony but a parade.
After the awards ceremony, the team stayed in the venue for a group photo. Coach Ninomiya made a rare joke, "Kōshū, your grandpa's voice is as intimidating as your hitting."
"Hahahahaha."
"Keep going! As a man!" Yoshino followed suit next to him.
It wasn't until everyone left the venue and each chose their own route home that the noisy feeling around them dissipated. Kōshū and Lang Zhi carried their own equipment and faced the door, filled with the noisy sounds of their families.
The venue behind has returned to silence. The crushed grass is quietly standing upright. Some staff are building things on Pitcher's Mound. The excitement of the competition quickly recedes from the air, leaving only the hearts of the teenagers and their families who set off from here.
Kōshū had a full week's rest after this game. He stayed at home honestly this time. He was really bored, so he sent a message to Miyuki who was far away in Seido. As the saying goes, Miyuki hasn't harassed him for a while since he entered high school, which made him feel a little curious about what Seido High School's life is like.
"Senior Miyuki, we Spring Tournament won, how is life with Seido Baseball Club."
Kōshū didn't expect to receive a reply right away for the text message he sent out in the afternoon. After all, the high school is currently holding a spring game. Ask when their nearest game is, and you can go check it out.
Unexpectedly, it took a week for this text message to be answered, "Congratulations, we are very busy in the game now, and I am now the regular catcher of Seido."
"Congratulations, so you finally defeated the senior catcher?" At this time, Kōshū was relaxing with a foam roller, and Lang Zhi was practicing on the side.
"No, that person was seriously injured and couldn't play. He temporarily asked me to serve as the catcher. But with that kind of injury, he probably won't be able to play for a long time."
'Seriously injured? 'Kōshū When I was browsing various baseball-related videos, I occasionally saw the story that someone summarized that after Koshien, players who burned out their talents could no longer play baseball, but that was also Koshien with a dense schedule, better than Miyuki The senior of E First Year of High School had only been in Seido Baseball Club for one year and was seriously injured. It reminds people of the examples Coach Ninomiya gave when he warned the players before.
"What's going on? Did you get hit during the game?" The famous Posey clause will not be officially adopted by Japanese Professional Baseball in 2016, so 2006 is still a time for home run hits.
"No, it's because he has too high demands on himself. He kept his injury hidden and continued training as usual."
"So, Seido's coach didn't find out?" Kōshū frowned.
Kokubunji City, Seishin Dormitory, Miyuki, who was editing text messages, did not notice the danger approaching from behind, and pulled his mobile phone away with one hand. "Miyuki, who are you texting, your girlfriend?"
"Hahaha, if you have a girlfriend, I advise you to break up with us as soon as possible. Let me see..."
"Kōshū, what? It's a boy's name."
"So she is not a girlfriend in the first place. It is the imagination of the seniors. He is a junior who will come to Seido in the future." A drop of cold sweat hung on Miyuki's forehead. Not long after he joined First String, he was about to play with this group of seniors who were difficult to get along with. It was really difficult for him.
"It turns out to be a junior. What, is this kid angry?" Someone has already started flipping through the previous records.
"Don't read other people's emails without permission. Even seniors can't do this." Miyuki can no longer stop these people forming a circle.
"Since Seido is going to come here in the future, we can't let him feel that this is a place not worth coming to. Let me reply to him." Senior Nanmu has already begun to sit down and concentrate on typing.
On the other side, Dong Qingguo accused Miyuki: "Miyuki, how can you say so many things to irrelevant people? What if it affects our Seido Baseball Club image."
"Okay, okay, please give me your phone back."
"You guys, after becoming Regulars, you have become a lot more arrogant. You dare to challenge the seniors." The seniors were gearing up, and Miyuki was pinned down, suffering unspeakably.
Five minutes later, a text message from Seido was sent to Kōshū.
The remaining junior high school time will be compressed and will only focus on the breakthrough, and the other times will be accelerated.
After U15 at the end of August, it will probably be "the second spring in Japan, Kōshū stepped into the high school campus"
