Coach and Humble Cubs

After dinner, everyone went to Sendou's room. Except for Sendou, who was reading manga, and Wakaba, who pulled Sawamura outside, everyone else was playing board games.

"Eijun, why didn't you invite Akila to join the Baseball Club today?"

"He hasn't decided to join yet. I'll invite him tomorrow."

"He already wants to join, Akila does. It's just that his personality makes it impossible for him to bring it up himself."

"Nani? I'll go now!" As he said that, Sawamura was about to rush into the room, but Wakaba stopped him.

"Baka, if you invite him so directly, he'll definitely refuse!"

"Nazei? (Why?)"

"If he agrees, wouldn't it be the same as him taking the initiative?"

"Is that so?" Sawamura still didn't understand.

"He's really an idiot!"

"Why does Wakaba have to say that too?" Sawamura scratched his head.

"If he agrees with you, wouldn't that be telling everyone that he wanted to join a long time ago? With his personality, how could he possibly agree to that?"

"Then, Wakaba, what should I do?" As he said that, Sawamura put his hands together, making a pleading expression.

"I really can't do anything with you. Eijun, are you serious about going to nationals?"

"Of course! But what does that have to do with inviting Sendou?"

"You should know, right? We're all baseball amateurs and don't know what kind of practice we need to do to get stronger. If we continue like this, we won't even get our first win, let alone go to nationals."

"Of course I know that, but, we just have to work hard, right?"

Although Sawamura's reaction speed is slow and he's not good at logical analysis and those kinds of twists and turns, that doesn't mean he's really so stupid that he doesn't understand anything. He just hopes to solve things in his own way.

"Don't forget, before Sendou came here, he was the Ace and Cleanup Hitter of a famous Little League team.

Although he only learned for three weeks, and might also be an amateur, don't forget that he was in fourth grade at the time, which shows how much he was valued.

In other words, even if he's also an amateur, he at least knows how to get stronger. If we earnestly ask him, he will help us."

"Are you saying we should have him be our coach?"

"Yes, find some time to earnestly ask him! Even if he really doesn't like baseball, aren't we partners? Aren't we partners? Akila will definitely help."

"Okay! Thank you, Wakaba!" Sawamura seriously nodded his thanks.

When Sawamura came back, he saw that Sendou had also been invited by his friends to join the game. The two of them tacitly chose to remain silent.

"It's already this late? Let's go back!" Takeda Shin said at 10 p.m.

"Okay!" Several people replied in unison.

"Qiao, dou, ma, da! (Wait a minute!)" Sawamura shouted loudly with his head lowered.

"Thump!"

"Eijun!"

"Eijun-chan!"

"What are you doing?" Amidst the surprised voices of the others, Sendou coldly asked Sawamura, who had suddenly knelt on the ground.

"I know, I know that with just us, we can't go to Nationals!" Sawamura began.

"Eijun-chan!"

"But, some of our teammates aren't interested in Baseball, some aren't even interested in sports at all. Everyone was dragged here by me. I want to take everyone to Nationals!"

"Our strength isn't enough! I... I'm so unwilling."

"So! So! Join the Baseball Club! Sendou!!!"

"Teach us how to play Baseball!!!"

"Even if you don't play in the games!"

"Please!!!"

The emotional Sawamura finished this string of words intermittently, expressing all his emotions, and then knocked his head on the tatami mat.

"Don't forget, Eijun! I'm also a beginner. It's almost impossible for me to take you to Nationals."

"It's okay, if it's you, you can do it!"

"If it's just us, we wouldn't even know how to get stronger. Please!" The others were completely stunned by Eijun's performance.

"You want me to be your coach and do as I please?"

"Yes!!! Please!"

"Alright! I accept! But not now! A week from now, on the weekend, gather at my house."

Sawamura suddenly raised his head, although he didn't know why Sendou said it had to be a week later.

But he understood that Sendou was the kind of man who would do what he promised.

"Don't just kneel down so casually, baka!" Sendou squatted down and stroked Sawamura's head.

At this time, Sendou would certainly not joke with Sawamura anymore. Otherwise, this little angel would cry.

Sawamura is only the cutest when he is upset and acting silly, but that definitely doesn't include crying.

If Sawamura cried, Sendou would feel very sad, along with many complex emotions.

Although Sawamura is almost 5 months older than Sendou, Sendou has always treated Sawamura like a younger brother.

Similarly, Sawamura, without even realizing it himself, treats Sendou like an older brother.

That is, when it comes to serious matters, Sendou's usual thoughts are too elusive.

So much so that Sawamura felt that Miyuki, whom he met later, was easier to understand.

"Then it's settled, you'll teach us how to play Baseball!"

"Yeah, have you ever seen me go back on my word?" Saying that, he helped Sawamura up.

"You're always like this!"

"..." Sendou just looked at him without saying anything.

"But you never follow through on serious promises! Seriously."

Sendou pursed his lips slightly.

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing! Then don't bother me this week, or I'll kill you!" Sendou's eyes narrowed instantly, as if filled with murderous intent.

Seeing this, Sawamura immediately knelt down, retreating to the corner of the wall, and kowtowed.

"Yes!"

(This kind of kneeling is a courtesy, not a request. There are many kinds of kneeling in Japan. This refers to the kind of etiquette used by service personnel in some Japanese hotels and kimono shops.)

This humble appearance completely amused Sendou.

Indeed, so cute! This guy, Sendou thought to himself.

Even the others watched this adorable scene of the humble little angel with delight.

"Then we'll head back first. The meat was delicious today!"

"Be careful on your way!"

After the standard Japanese farewell, the boisterous gathering came to an end.

It means my thinking is temporarily not working. If I suddenly stop updating these two days, it means my condition has worsened and I can't think about the details of the plot. I won't announce it in a happy chapter. The temperature has changed a lot these two days, so please pay attention and don't repeat my mistakes. I've been tossing and turning between life and death these past two days. I occasionally read a novel for a while, but I can't understand even the slightest twist. By the way, brothers, don't just read and leave, chat with the other book lovers here, it's so lonely. I also like to listen to people chatting. I prefer to watch others chat from the sidelines.
