Diamond Ace Takanono

Chapter 47 Half-year Achievement Effect
The short New Year's holiday is too short for the workers, but for the baseball teenagers who are used to training every day, it is too free. After reviewing their homework, they play catch every day, and they can still play in the backyard. But the two of them fought endlessly, every time they packed up, they saw Shen Qing, who was supposed to be resting, struggling to make food for them.

"Lang Zhi, it's only been two days anyway, let's stop practicing striking."

Shen Qing's due date is April 4th, and there are still three months left, but she has already started to recuperate. With placenta previa and twins, the lower edge of her bulging belly is full of torn stretch marks, like a There are ravines, with blue capillaries spreading like rivers.

A few days ago, the two children were turned upside down in the womb. As long as Shen Qing bent over a little, the child's feet would kick her internal organs, "Let me feed you." Mr. Sasaki naturally understood why thing.

"My mouth is so bitter, I want to lick a sip of candy."

"No, gestational diabetes is very dangerous. You are a medical student, so you definitely understand."

"I'll just lick it, then rinse my mouth and spit it out." In the late pregnancy, Shen Qing, who had always been calm and reserved, lost her original level a bit.

Mr. Sasaki, of course, persuaded them to go back in a soft voice, and then turned around and specifically told the two brothers to memorize all the prohibited things for pregnant women, so as not to take them home.

"Pregnancy is really hard, am I torturing mom like this?" Lang Zhi murmured, he didn't feel like sitting right now, leaning on the back of the chair.

"Then you should ask your biological mother." The dining table has now been transformed into a desk for two people, and Shen Qing who is resting inside can be seen from here.

"Eh? Why did you answer my heart? Did I say it?" Lang Zhi looked terrified, ashamed to be interpreted by others, really, too close, really no privacy at all.

Gao Zhiye gave him a blank look, and he clearly felt the change in his mood recently.

Seeing the hardships of pregnancy, he imagined such a trace of maternal love between himself and his biological mother out of thin air. Maybe those hands touched his belly expectantly, those eyes were once full of smiles, maybe that kind of love really existed, but he did not. I can't see it with my own eyes, so I want to touch it again to see if I can find traces of that kind of thing from the current shadow.

But this child will be disappointed after all. After the disappointment, the indifference, violence, and sadness hidden in the memory will be recalled again, so instead of disappointing him, it is better to keep a little fluke expectation.

"No way, Lang Zhi, don't disturb other people's lives, sometimes it's best to stay where you are and not touch them." Gao Zhiye didn't look up, but felt the sharp eyes of the child opposite him, he didn't dare to Raise your head, force yourself to solve the problem, put yourself into it while solving it, and then raise your head, and you will see the child on the opposite side who is also studying hard, and the feeling of tension is no longer there.

The days when the brothers were stalking high-risk pregnant women downstairs quickly passed away. Shen Qing rejected Mr. Sasaki's idea of ​​half-closing the clinic, and also rejected Grandma Langzhi's coming to take care of her. Finally, she hired a confinement wife at a high price.

"Ten thousand yen a day." Lang Zhi muttered on the first day of the new semester.

"You know again?" Why is this kid so sensitive to prices, before he kept talking about how expensive the club is.

"Of course, just search the company's online quotation and you will know."

This Miss Keiko is about 40 years old. She has thick fingers and doesn't have much expression on her face, but she works very quickly and can help Shen Qing with everything that needs to be bent down. She only stays at home for 8 hours and waits for Mr. Sasaki to come back. When he got home, he would leave immediately. After getting acquainted with her, Gao Zhiye found that when she laughed, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes would fly to her temples. Maybe it was the reason for the wrinkles, so she chose to work with a straight face.

Her sense of existence is very weak, and she is very good at measuring, so the Sasaki family hired her with a monthly salary until the baby was two years old.

However, the two brothers who were still rushing to school hadn't seen this future old acquaintance yet.

From the beginning of the third semester, it was obvious that the atmosphere of the students around me was different. Some went to various school briefing sessions, some began to attend cram schools, and some began to learn about various recommended materials in advance.

The two Gao Zhiye brothers are also busy. The final exam will be held at the end of January. At the same time, they also ushered in the monthly physical test. It has been nearly half a year since they first entered the club to accept the physical test. The semi-annual plan of the company has also arrived at the acceptance time.

"The weight is 75KG, which is only 1KG short of the goal. The height is 185 cm, and it has grown 3 cm from when it entered the club." Mr. Fujii went back to the first record and compared it with satisfaction. There is nothing like seeing a teenager They grow better.

Of course, there are also worries. Looking up, it is the body measurement results of Shibazaki in June. The height has not changed at all, and the weight has dropped by 6KG.

"Coach Fujii, I really must be eating well." As if sensing the coach's emotions, Shibazaki raised his hand to explain.

"Hey—fortunately, your ball speed has increased to 130 now."

Another important indicator is the speed of the ball. Half a year ago, Coach Ninomiya assigned the task to Coach Fujii to increase Takano's ball speed to 135. Now this goal has been exceeded.

"Takano-kun, the plan for the next half year is coming soon, what do you think about yourself?"

"Let's try more while stabilizing the existing system. For example, I want to add a change-up ball. There is a lateral change and a different drop from the speed of the straight ball. If the speed difference can be added, the overall distribution of the ball will be improved. It will be more flexible."

"...Your expression, tell me honestly, have you learned the changeup in secret?" Coach Fujii has seen a lot of pitchers, and a kid like Gao Zhiye belongs to the type with a lot of ideas, so he knows better However, once Gao Zhiye suggested something, it meant that he had been trying for a while and had achieved initial results.

Just as the pitcher's test came to an end, Coach Fujii wrinkled his face and called Takano to go to the bullpen to show him the changeup immediately, thinking that there would be a lot of analysis work to come.

"Hayakawa, I'm sorry." Takano called his partner over, and this was the first sentence he said.

"Did you study something privately with Miyuki?"

"Eh? Miyuki-senpai said that?" This Miyuki Kazuya is really an unreliable guy.

"That's not true, but he said something like 'stay tuned', and I guessed, you may have researched something, so what is it?"

"Changeup."

Hayakawa returned to home plate, still thinking about what the "changeup ball with a speed difference of 20 kilometers from the fastest straight ball" would be like.

Coach Fujii was at the side and turned on the camera again. Takano first came with a straight ball and shot at the highest speed.

"Oh—138, not bad, the straight ball is not weak."

"Then it's the changeup." Takano announced, and then in the glove, changed the gesture to OK. After raising his foot, everything was the same as throwing a straight ball, and the arm was fully swung out, but the ball was not Now, it was 20 kilometers away from the first ball, and it was flying slowly. When it flew above the home plate, it stalled and fell, and landed in the low position of the outer corner.

"Oh——" Gao Zhiye looked up, and saw that the entire bullpen gathered together, "Not bad, this ball."

Coach Fujii also made a fist in his heart, "This kid, maybe he can really rely on baseball for a living!" '

"NICE!" Akira Hayakawa, who personally received the ball, was the happiest in his heart. In addition to the speed difference and sharp drop, it also has accuracy. This is Takano's changeup.

The ball speed has increased to 138, the straight ball has been polished, and he has a Carter and a changeup. In the six months after becoming a baseball rookie, Takano's progress is like a beast.

　Before I knew it, half a year had passed since the baseball time in the book
