Chapter 1: 9
Sawamura'sside
In Nagano in winter, even with sunshine, it is still bitingly cold.
It is the winter vacation, and Sawamura makes full use of every day of the vacation for training.But because the weather is too cold, Sawamura hardly meets other people except for Wakana and Ashin who occasionally come to help during his daily practice.
Now Sawamura, due to the substantial improvement in physical fitness, has achieved a dramatic increase in ball speed.After watching the recorded pitching practice video, Miyuki estimated for him that it might be around 120km/h.Although Sawamura himself is still not satisfied with this ball speed, Miyuki believes that considering Kunisei's physical fitness and Sawamura's starting time, this ball speed is actually very commendable.In addition, Miyuki also rarely praised Sawamura's throwing posture and ball control, although the original words are still infuriating, such as "the magic ball baby who has no idea where it will be thrown finally learned to find its way".As for the ball type, Sawamura can now grasp the four-seam well, and the newly developed Carter ball can gradually stabilize in the strike zone.According to Miyuki, Sawamura's progress can be described as fast (Sawamura doesn't believe this exaggerated praise with black belly and four eyes at all), and after the holiday, he can slowly add other types of balls for practice.
After doing some stretching after exercising this Sunday, Sawamura packed up his things and planned to go home.
While walking on the road, I turned on my phone, but there were still no new text messages.
Suddenly, the vibration of the mobile phone and the pop-up prompt informed Sawamura that there was a new letter.Sawamura's eyes suddenly shone with light, but when he saw that the text message was nothing more than a letter from the operator Softbank reminding him of insufficient call charges, the light disappeared instantly.
Sawamura sighed in disappointment, and unconsciously slid his fingers to the last text message with Miyuki.
Received at Thursday 21:17 "If you insist on this, I don't think it is necessary to say anything more to you."
Sawamura pursed his lips in embarrassment.What, Miyuki really didn't hear anything after that.
This time the quarrel came suddenly and logically.
After entering the winter vacation, Sawamura practiced hard every day.At first, Miyuki didn't ask too much about it, but whenever he talked about training, he would emphasize the right amount of training in his jokes.It wasn't until Thursday night when Sawamura happened to talk about how tired he was from doubling the number of pitches he pitched recently that Miyuki had a seizure.
Like a dormant volcano, Miyuki, who had never shown any extreme emotions in front of Sawamura, erupted with intense emotions that almost frightened Sawamura to the point where he could hardly recover.It is no longer a casual teasing, no more meticulous guidance, but a reserved and polite counterattack against Sawamura who does not listen to the reminder of over-training.From this kind of cold words, Sawamura felt the anger like a fire.
"So, you don't care about your own body."
"What I've said so many times that you don't think it matters."
"If you insist on this, I don't think it is necessary to say anything more to you."
After that, no matter what message Sawamura sent, Miyuki did not reply.Afraid that Miyuki would hate him, Sawamura finally didn't dare to contact Miyuki after bombarding Miyuki with text messages for a day without getting any response.
After resting for two days, Sawamura continued to train according to the plan that Miyuki had made before.
But, when can souls be exchanged?
Sawamura prayed silently.
Thank God!Thanks Tathagata Buddha!Thanks Amaterasu!
Sawamura, who was walking home, was stunned and found himself in the room of the familiar Miyuki.
Sawamura was so excited that he jumped up from the chair he was sitting on, clenched his fists and put on a victory pose, "Hahahaha, so Miyuki, you can no longer escape me!"
Sawamura quickly found his target - Miyuki's cell phone on the desk.He sat back on the chair, grunted and skillfully switched to the text message interface, and was about to click on the inbox, but his eyes were attracted by the draft displayed in the inbox.
Sawamura secretly smirked, and opened the draft box with the mentality of finally discovering Miyuki's dark little secret.
However, what entered Sawamura's eyes was not a so-called little secret worth making fun of, but sincere words that immediately filled Sawamura's eyes with tears.
It's Miyuki who has a cruel tongue and keeps a sense of distance from everyone, but is extremely gentle to Sawamura, the sincerity that cannot be expressed or conveyed after the quarrel.These sincerities were carefully stored in the draft box, without expecting anyone except Miyuki himself to discover them.Even though, all the recipients were Sawamura.But now, Sawamura opened the box and discovered Miyuki's true heart buried here.
Written at Thu 23:55 "If you're injured and can't come to Qingdao"
This is an unfinished text message.
Written at Saturday 09:12 "Now you are not on the way to Qingdao, but on the way to the hospital."
This text message is too mean.Maybe others would think him crazy, but Sawamura miraculously touched Miyuki's soft and gentle heart from this short sentence.
Miyuki was looking forward to himself so much.Sawamura had never been so sure of this until now.
Sawamura looked back and forth between the two text messages, crying and laughing.
He moved forward to lie down on the desk, but a heavy book blocked his downward posture.Sawamura's gaze finally moved from the phone screen to the table, intending to see what kind of books were on the table, it was so thick that he couldn't get down smoothly.
——It was a thick, seemingly introductory textbook on the basics of sports medicine.
Although the name of the book is too complicated, when Sawamura opened the page where Miyuki placed the bookmark and looked at the various icons related to shoulders and elbows, he immediately understood the possible general content of the book.
Miyuki's scribbled handwriting and sketches, one stroke after another, were all drawn on Sawamura's heart.
Many people call Sawamura an idiot, thinking that Sawamura is noisy every day and doesn't understand anything, but he is just a hot-blooded idiot.But Sawamura, who loves reading and is good at shogi, actually has a heart far more delicate than others imagined.
Just because he's straightforward and trusts others doesn't mean he's a fool who doesn't know anything.
Although Miyuki always gets along with Sawamura casually and teasingly, Sawamura can feel his tenderness and expectation for himself from Miyuki's every action.After all, Miyuki, who is catching four bats in the youth baseball, in his already busy daily life, how much extra time does he need to collect information, make plans, and even help with training for Sawamura?
Sawamura has always believed that he has benefited a lot from the soul exchange.If he hadn't met Miyuki, he would still be a rookie pitcher in the country who didn't know anything.And Miyuki, in this relationship, besides giving, did he gain anything?
Sawamura was deeply disturbed.
All the time and energy that Miyuki spent on himself declared his concern and expectations for him. In addition to fulfilling the obligation to complete Miyuki's non-catcher-specific training, Sawamura can only tell Miyuki through continuous efforts to grow. His efforts were not in vain.
However, words are different.
Both Miyuki and Sawamura declared to each other that they had agreed to be arrested in high school, and Sawamura was also excited about it.However, the distance between Nagano and Tokyo, Nagano Prefecture Autumn Competition and the dark horse of Tokyo Autumn Competition is too far. This long distance makes Sawamura only grasp every minute and every second of training.Only in this way can Sawamura get closer to Miyuki, and get closer.Sometimes, the uneasiness hidden in Sawamura's heart will flood into his heart, can he really go to Miyuki's side only with his blood and hard work?
But now, Sawamura accidentally discovered Miyuki's sincere words, which made Sawamura once again convinced: Miyuki is looking forward to and trusting his own growth more than anyone else, and he is as much looking forward to becoming a real shooting partner as himself that day.
This is enough.Sawamura sniffed and clicked on the mail interface.
Sent at18:23 "Stupid. Just tell me what you're thinking at times like this."
Sent at18:25 "Next time, just send me what you want to say. Draft or something, it's too bad."
No reply.But Sawamura believed that the idiot Miyuki would definitely see it.
"Kazuya, it's time to eat."
After Sawamura calmed down and tidied himself up, Miyuki's father's call came from outside the door.
"Here we come!" Sawamura opened the door and quickly slipped into the restaurant.
What greeted me was the aroma of curry and miso.
"Do you want to eat curry today? It's great!" Sawamura cheered a little.I have to say that Miyuki's father's cooking skills are far beyond ordinary people, so Sawamura looks forward to the moment of eating every time they exchange.
Miyuki's father smiled and watched Sawamura trotting over, and then the two of them put the prepared food on the dining table together.
"Sure enough, the curry made by Dad is superb! It's amazing!" The moment the curry-wrapped rice was poured into the mouth along the spoon, Sawamura's eyes lit up and he praised loudly.
Miyuki's father looked at Sawamura with a funny face, "I'm in a really good mood today. I've made curry before, but Kazuya said that I'm not as good as you at that time."
Sawamura pretended to be calm and laughed, "Because Miyuki Kazuya has recently started to learn to speak straight!"
Miyuki's father raised his eyebrows, "This is not Kazuya's style."
Sawamura nodded while swallowing the curry rice, and then smiled, "Because I met a friend who told me to speak straight!"
"That Nagano friend?"
Sawamura nodded, surprised that Miyuki had mentioned himself to his father behind his back.
"Kazuya likes that friend very much, and laughs every time he is mentioned." Miyuki's father casually scooped up a spoonful of curry and said casually.
Sawamura immediately burned his face and ears, "It's...is it?!"
"Of course." Yuxing's father smiled, "You are my son, don't I understand?"
"Oh...oh." Sawamura scratched his face shyly.
Miyuki's father looked at Sawamura tenderly, "New Year, do you want to go to Nagano for vacation together?"
"Hey?!" Sawamura's eyes widened, and he immediately forgot all the shyness, "Is it okay?!"
"of course."
"I like dad the most!!" Sawamura cheered loudly.
"Kazuya, eat well." Miyuki's father looked at his son who was rarely in such high spirits with a funny face.
Sawamura remained in high spirits until he returned to his body.
My body is lying on the bed, looking at a book about baseball psychology and tactics that I bought after seeing it in Miyuki's room.
However, Sawamura did not pay more attention to the book, but was attracted by the vibrating mobile phone.
Sawamura picked up the phone, saw the text message from Miyuki that he finally received, and put on a big smile.
Receive at22:15 "Now you are not on the way to Qingdao, but on the way to the hospital."
Receive at22:16 "So can you understand? Be sure to come to Qingdao and appear before me."
