Chapter 589: Small talk...Interesting things in middle school

"Yo Xi!

The afternoon practice is finally over, although I still want to shoot a few more shots! "After the practice, Sawamura shouted loudly with his hands in the air.

“Hey! Sawamura!

You didn't go to clean up the court, did you? (Gura_Sen!)" Kanemaru asked.

"Huh? Why do you keep saying bad things about my style!" Sawamura was extremely dissatisfied.

"The pitching staff should be cleaning up the bullpen, right?" Tojo said.

"That's it!!" Sawamura nodded.

"Ah! Soga soga!" Kanemaru suddenly realized.

"Well! Just understand!

Then, don't say things that make you doubt others. "Sawamura looked arrogant, and his eyes sparkled just like Coach Ochiai.

"Uh! It feels so hot!" Kanemaru said as Sawamura caught him off guard.

"Practice is over!" Xiandao ran over and said.

"Immortal!! Where did you go, you bastard?

As soon as it was time to clean up the court, people disappeared! "Kanemaru shouted.

"I went to the toilet!" Xiandao replied softly.

“Stop talking nonsense!!

Did you fall into the toilet? You didn’t show up until the tidying up was over! ! ! "

"Ah! When I was thinking about life, time passed by accidentally!"

“He’s full of lies again!!

Last time I followed what Hatake-san said, "I'm lost on the road of life" or something like that! !

Do you think I will listen to your excuses? ! "Kanemaru was furious.

"Aren't you listening?" Xiandao said casually.

"You...!!" The little devil in Kanemaru's heart was about to come out.

"How could you do something that affects other people's evaluations like this?!" Sawamura also looked "angry" on his face.

In fact, those who are cautious and cowardly are afraid that the immortal will use them to scare the monkeys and avoid the topic.

After all, he has been a companion since childhood. Even if his mind cannot remember things, his body will remind him.

"That's right! I've been thinking about it since before..." Tojo stood up at this time and changed the subject.

In fact, this group of people have long been used to it. Whether Xiandao is running away, they just lack a reason to convince themselves.

"Huh?" Sawamura looked confused.

"What's wrong? Tojo!" Kanemaru turned his head.

"Don't you think it's weird to shorten Gurado-Seibi (court tidying) to Gura-sen?"

"Oh! I've thought about this too!" Child Sawamura raised his hand first.

"Ah! It's true!" Kanemaru also said.

"You have thought about it, there is a ghost!" Xiandao complained, obviously the target has been determined.

"What did you say? Immortal!

Don't look at me like this, I've thought about it carefully. "Sawamura immediately retorted.

"I didn't say who the target was! Why are you so anxious!"

"Yup!

Kanemaru, he's talking about you! "Sawamura actually believed it...

"Baga!" Kanemaru complained softly.

"It's natural that Gurando is called guran for short.

However, isn’t it strange that Seibi is simply called sen instead of Sei? "Sawamura said.

"That's right!" Tojo nodded.

"What's wrong?" Sawamura said impatiently when he saw Xiandao staring at him.

"I didn't expect you to remember some words!

amazing! amazing! "Xian Dao said.

"Right?!

I have read a lot of baseball books, so I feel very strange! (The strange book mentioned by Kijima-senpai)" Sawamura said with a proud look on his face.

“That’s not what I meant to compliment you!

idiot! "Kanemaru covered his face and whispered to himself.

"But!

If it is not abbreviated like this, what should it be abbreviated to? "Kanemaru raised a question and continued the topic.

He didn't continue to worry about Sawamura's stupidity. After all, it wasn't just a day or two.

"If you think about it normally, it's because we are cleaning up the court...

Gura-Sei? "Sawamura changed Sen back to sei.

"Wouldn't it be confusing to say Gura-Sei?" Kanemaru said.

"That's right!" Tojo also responded.

"Guran-Sei" child Sawamura typed out his next name in seconds. The little prince nicknamed him was very enthusiastic about this kind of thing.

"Don't you think there are such snacks? Chestnuts or sugar or something like that?" Kanemaru shook his head.

"Shinji!

That's marron guransuse! (Candied chestnuts)" Tojo actually knew what Kanemaru was talking about.

"Then...Guranseibi! Ah! Guran~~Sei!" Sawamura ran out of tricks for a moment and added a long sound between the two words.

"Let's just GS!" Xiandao said casually when he saw that these guys were actually working with the abbreviation of cleaning the stadium.

"I always think of car brands!" Kanemaru said.

"Really?" Xiandao didn't know much about the car brand and looked confused.

"Huh? Isn't GS garbage collection?" Sawamura looked confused.

"I feel relieved when I see you are still so stupid!" Xiandao said with a smile.

"Garbage collection is GC!

Sure enough, the original Gura-Sen is better! "Kanemaru said with a sigh after complaining about Sawamura.

"That's right!" Tojo resigned helplessly.

"Why? Tojo!

Did you say that you couldn't accept it first? "Sawamura quits.

"There really aren't any good proposals!" Tojo spread his hands.

"Yeah, yeah!" Sawamura is obsessed with names.

“Actually, it’s better to use the full name instead of abbreviating it!

Don’t discuss this kind of thing for so long! ! "Xian Dao said.

"That's right!

Anyway, I’m used to it!

Speaking of which, today is really exhausting!

My legs and butt are swollen from training and they always feel hard! !

It's obviously during the competition! "Kanemaru complained.

“Last ball feed!

Especially when it was Shinji's turn, the supervisor was particularly impressive! ! Tojo said with a smile.

"Damn it! If I could catch the last ball, it would have ended safely!

Are supervisors the devil? "Kanemaru continued to complain.

"Ah! It's the devil!

The devil's iron heart is simply called devil's iron! ! "Sawamura's brain is still stuck on the abbreviation!

"What's the use of the abbreviation?" Kanemaru looked confused.

"Don't pay attention to this guy!" Sendao patted Kanemaru on the shoulder.

“But it’s also very good!

Feeding the ball like that! !

Sure enough, the supervisor is so strict because he has expectations for Shinji! "

"Aha! Sure enough...that's it, right?" Kanemaru touched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"That's it!

I also want to watch it after a long absence! That kind! ! "

"Hey! That's enough for you!

Your chances of playing in the outfield are great!

You should take good care of it and don't compete with us for position! "

"Haha! I have no such plan!

If you want to grab it, it’s the immortal way!

He needs some fielding practice at third base every day! "Tojo smiled.

"If I get snatched away by this guy! I will accept my fate!

How could it be possible to win against this monster!

Moreover, the supervisor only temporarily allowed him to play at third base, which shows that our fielding is not enough to reassure the supervisor!

That’s why we need to work harder! ! "Kanemaru said.

Recently, he and Hikasa-senpai have been competing for performance!

"Come on!!"

"Hmm...?" Sawamura stared at Kanemaru and made a strange sound.

"Ah? What's wrong? Sawamura!

Is there something weird on my face? Kanemaru asked.

"No no! I just think you two have a really good relationship or something!"

"Ah! Well! It's not so much a good relationship..."

"We've been together since junior high school!" Tojo said in mid-sentence Kanamaru.

"Oh! What's that senior...?"

"It's Senior Matsukata!" Tojo told him gently.

“What a middle school with a strange name!

Is it because the teachers...are all old men? "Sawamura asked doubtfully.

"Ha!? ×3!" The three immortals all made confused sounds.

"Huh?" Sawamura was also confused by the expressions of the three people.

“Eight…Baga!

That's not a middle school. Kanemaru quickly denied it after reacting.

"Huh?" Sawamura became even more confused.

“It’s senior!!

And why are all the teachers old men? "Kanamaru was anxious and didn't know how to explain it for a moment.

"no!

Don’t you mean (an older person)?

Seniority or something? "Kanamaru's explanation was unclear, and Sawamura was even more confused.

Sendao never dreamed that the few words Sawamura knew would be used to argue...

And the pronunciation is really... Japanese English...

"No!!!" Kanemaru became angry with embarrassment.

“Is that the one?!!!

A bunch of older guys getting together to play baseball or something? "

"What the hell is this?!" Kanemaru was confused by Sawamura.

The two people stared at each other with big eyes and excited expressions on their faces.

One doesn't know how to explain it, the other has a strange brain circuit...

“Because he is an elderly person, he can’t be Baga, right?

My grandpa later taught me many things like that...

"There are many things that can be learned from a long life experience."

And even though he is an older person, powerful people are still very powerful.

Once an ace in professional baseball! !

There are people who are over 60 years old and can throw a straight ball faster than me! "Sawamura took advantage of the situation and began to talk at length.

The strange knowledge in the strange books that this guy has read keeps flowing out like the rushing Yellow River.

They all said Kanemaru was confused!

"oh!!

Masakari throwing method..." Tojo actually knows... (Murata Zhaoji is 63 years old and has a ball speed of 135 kilometers. At the age of 66, the ball speed is still 131 kilometers.)

The immortals were dumbfounded, what kind of ridiculous amount of knowledge is this...

“I told you it’s not this anymore!!!

Senior is for the older people! "Kanamaru was completely annoyed, but his explanation...

"Huh? That's why!!" Sawamura was also anxious.

The two of them are not on the same channel at all.

"That...means it's more suitable for primary school students than for (older) students!

It does not refer to the baseball club of the middle school, but to the official team established by the league! "Tojo thought for a moment and adjusted the channels of the two of them.       "Official? Ah... Souga!

But why join the middle school baseball club? "Sawamura reluctantly accepted, still having doubts in his heart.

“Because I’ve been playing baseball since I was a kid.

I just want to join the active guys in the official team directly... just join senior!

The senior players range from Little League players to guys who never learned professional baseball in elementary school!

look!

Did Sendao play in the Wildcat Little League when he was in elementary school?

Senior is the middle school version of that kind of professional team!

However, unlike Little League, except for individual teams like the Wildcats, most Little League teams have teachers who know a little bit about baseball as professional starters.

But the supervisors in Senior are basically professional, and there are even a large number of professional players who joined after retiring! "Kanemaru also calmed down from his crazy state because of Tojo's words.

“When I first entered school, I was really shocked!

He was surrounded by starters from other teams! "Tojo sighed.

"But!

In a powerful team like ours, there are even more aces or top four guys from each team!

ah! Well... when I see Sawamura... I feel like I've lost confidence in myself! "Kanemaru was a little depressed.

"What do you mean by this?!!!" Sawamura asked loudly.

This guy didn't understand at all. Kanemaru was praising him! !

"The guys we thought were great are all in senior!

It turns out that there are "guys who are not like that"! "Tōjo explained.

"Is it me? Are you talking about me?!" Sawamura's eyes were filled with little stars.

"You, Sendo and Fukiya are all admirable guys!" Tojo nodded.

“Sure enough, I’m finishing my sentence!!!

I am very powerful! ! "Sawamura is very happy.

"Uh! Although that's true...but don't let me get carried away, you bastard!" Kanemaru said.

"Why... why are you angry at me?!" Sawamura said dissatisfied.

"You don't know very well, but your natural beauty often makes people inexplicably angry." Kanemaru said a little awkwardly.

"Alright! Alright! Shinji!" Tojo smiled and comforted Kanemaru's weak heart.

"Um...that Senior, what's it like to play there?

Is there anyone who can throw a ball 150 kilometers? ! ! Sawamura asked curiously.

"I said it!

If such a guy existed, he would have left professional baseball long ago! ! "Kanemaru complained speechlessly.

"really!

but……"

"But?" This time it was Kanemaru's turn to be confused.

“When I was in my second year of junior high school in Xiandao, I could hit a ball of 150 kilometers!

And his ball speed at that time should have exceeded the second half of 140 kilometers, right?

perhaps! ! "Sawamura said.

Since Sendō had only been a hitting pitcher during his junior high school days, and he couldn't estimate the speed of the ball when pitching with Coach Nakanishi, he was a little unsure.

"This guy is not a human being!

ba ke mo no is not a human being! ! "Kanemaru complained loudly.

"Hey!" Xiandao said that he was still here.

"But... there is a guy in Senior who can throw very powerful change shots!" Tojo changed the subject. He was afraid that if Kanemaru said a few more words, it would turn into a tragedy.

“I can’t hit it!!

The supervisor always told us, "Why? You can hit it!!"

How could it be possible? ! That kind of ball! "Kanemaru didn't know if he had a strong desire to survive, so he nodded seriously, and also imitated the surprised words of the supervisor in junior high school.

"And it will definitely turn into a foul ball and fly towards the supervisor.

Absolutely! ! "Tōjo said.

"Na!" Kanemaru also smiled.

"You kid! You were targeting me just now!!!

"Ah! Sano-chan also said that!" Sawamura suddenly said.

"Sano-chan?" Tojo asked in confusion.

"The consultant teacher of our middle school!

I was really tortured by Rong Chun back then! ! "Xian Dao explained.

“What was it like playing baseball when Sawamura was in middle school?

Last time you said..." Tojo asked.

"Huh? So powerful!! Do you want to know what Chicheng did when he was in middle school?" Sawamura's eyes lit up.

"Yes! That's what you said last time, but something happened before and I never had time to listen to your details." Kanemaru said.

"Okay! Let me talk to you carefully!!

Anyway, it turns out our middle school doesn’t have a baseball club!

I gathered a group of partners to create it! "Sawamura said with pride.

"Huh?" Kanemaru was confused.

"That's right!" Tojo said instinctively.

"If we win! The teacher will treat us to barbecue!" Sawamura said with a nostalgic smile.

"Is it true?

How rich is that Mr. Sano? Kanemaru exclaimed in disbelief.

"However, it's only for practice matches!" Sawamura explained.

"Practice competition?!" Tojo was also confused.

Shouldn't it be a formal competition?

"Pfft!" Xiandao couldn't bear it any longer and squirted!

"What's wrong! Immortal way!!" Sawamura was unhappy.

"nothing!

This was actually before I joined the baseball team.

Rong Chun, please tell them carefully! Before I joined baseball. Xiandao emphasized with a smile.

Tojo and Tojo looked at each other and confirmed that each other was confused.

"Oh! Leave it to me!

Although I didn’t win a few games, I only won about two games! ! "

"Huh?" Kanemaru then realized that there seemed to be a big deviation from what he thought.

“Practice is very hard!

I also practice in the morning and in the evening before the competition.

It's just that from time to time it has to be interrupted due to emergencies. "Sawamura changed the topic in a panic.

"Emergencies?"

"What?" The two of them were even more confused.

Xiandao suppressed his laughter and felt even more uncomfortable.

"Basically, the practices are held in the backyard of the school. Animals run in there from time to time," Sawamura explained.

"animal??"

"A dog or something?"

"No, it's a weasel or a tanuki or something like that.

Everyone thought it was fun and they were all focused on chasing them and couldn't practice anymore. "Sawamura explained.

I didn't realize the seriousness of the matter yet.

"It's amazing!" Kanemaru didn't know how to evaluate it.

"Ah! It feels... hard to imagine!" Tojo was also frantically organizing his words.

“We are all farm children, so sometimes we need to help.

But working on the farm is also great physical exercise! "

"So...that team...about how many times have you won?" Tojo asked.

"Well...we reached the finals when we were in the third grade of junior high school!

And if it weren't for this guy Sendao getting sick, we would have been able to expand across the country. "Sweat broke out on Sawamura's forehead!

“To be able to enter the national competition with that kind of conditions is really amazing!

But... Xiandao shouldn't have been in the third grade of junior high school before he entered the team! "

"!!!" Sawamura was excited.

"Ok?"

"Well! Judging from the results, I haven't won a single official match...

But baseball isn’t all about results! "Sawamura argued wildly.

"So that's not tyrannical at all!!!" Kanemaru shouted loudly.

“Then baseball relies on courage!

That’s why I am who I am now!

Dahahahaha!

Dahahahaha! "Sawamura plans to use his momentum to fool him...

"Speaking of..., Sawamura was able to become an official bench player of Seido in the summer of his first year...

It’s really awesome! ! "Tōjo looked at the smiling person and didn't know what to say.

"Ah!" Kanemaru replied weakly.

"Immortal way!

When did you join the high school baseball team? "Tōjo turned around and asked this person from Chicheng Middle School with a decent background...

“It’s the first autumn of junior high school!

This guy has been annoying people since he was in elementary school!

In the first grade of junior high school, they played a very powerful game in the official battle! Xiandao said with a sigh.

"A very powerful...competition?" Kanemaru asked doubtfully.

"You also know how good this guy is after entering high school!" Xiandao continued.

"Yeah!" The two nodded.

“They were just beginners, and all the members of the team at that time were in this state.

Even when the team was first formed, I watched their practices and they were able to make me laugh for a year!

The source of my happiness at that time was counted on them! ! !

What kind of runner is going to third base at the beginning, holding the bat backwards and so on! "Xian Dao wanted to laugh when he said this.

"Forehead!!!"

“In the summer of the first year of junior high school, it was simply a shocking game!

I was laughing so hard that I couldn't stand up straight! "

"What! Immortal way!!

Didn't you say you wouldn't mention that? "Sawamura said dissatisfied.

"Okay!!" Xiandao covered his mouth and smiled.

"I'm getting more and more curious!" Tojo whispered.

"Before entering Little League, a competition between primary school students!!" Xiandao gave an example.

Tojo and the two turned their heads and stared at Sawamura, silent for a long time...

“However, Sawamura just said that you entered the regional preliminary finals when you were in junior high school!

And if you hadn't been sick, you would have entered the country...

Moreover, when you were in junior high school, Sendō, you and Sawamura were your hunting partners, right? ! "After a few seconds, Tojo reacted.

"what!

This is also the reason why... I will appear here instead of in high school in Nagano to enjoy a happy high school life! ! "Xiandao heard Tojo's words, was silent for two seconds, and then said.

"Sorry!!" Tojo also realized that this incident was not a good memory for Sendao.

"nothing!

At that time, we eliminated our old enemy, the only dominant school in the Nagano region, in the semifinals.

Although the opponent in the final was somewhat similar to Ukumori, they were both guys who came from a Little League team and formed a team together.

But they are one year younger than us, and the Little League team they are in is not a powerful one.

I'm afraid most of them in the Little League team are also substitute players!

That kind of team is not our opponent yet...that's why!

However, we... experienced a disastrous defeat! ! "Xian Dao said melancholy.

"Feel sorry!!"

"I told you it doesn't matter!

I said at the time that I would take Sawamura into Koshien together, and this promise has been fulfilled.

Now I have a new goal!

To be honest, this school I came to is really great! ! "Xian Dao smiled.

Looking at Sendō's smile, Tojo and the others seemed to understand or not.

　I feel a lot better today. Although I still have diarrhea, I can no longer feel much pain in my stomach. I have time to make up for what I owed before.
