Chapter 204: The Road to the Future (Volume End)

"Is Seidou one of them?"

Sawamura continued to ask calmly.

Embarrassment flashed across their faces.

'As expected.'

As Sawamura thought, Takashima Rei should not have visited their house right now. But it is estimated that when they return home, they will be able to meet at home.

According to Takashima Rei's habit, before visiting, she must collect in detail what the players did during the holiday. Compared with the achievements the players have already won, she believes in the efforts of the players on normal days. From this point of view, she is the same as Coach Kataoka.

"If Seidou High School invites you, will you go?"

Both Hirota and Matsumoto's expressions flashed with excitement.

It can be seen that the proposal that Sawamura said was something they could not ask for. It is estimated that if Takashima really invites them, they will rush to agree without Sawamura's need to intervene.

In fact, it is not surprising that the two of them would behave like this. If they really dream of Koshien, joining Seidou High School is undoubtedly the best shortcut.

Seidou High School, which had just won Koshien, although most of the main force had gone, the few people who stayed were also the core. Even if the team is reorganized, their combat effectiveness should not be that affected.

You can even say that next year, even if Seidou High School does not have any new talents, they still have the requirement to enter Koshien and compete for the Championship.

Not to mention their last achievement, Seidou High School is still the top giant. Such a school extending invitation also has a very strong attraction.

You know, even Hosho and Oda never received such an invitation from the country's top giants.

At that time, Seidou High School had not entered Koshien for five consecutive years and was at its lowest point. But even so, no one invited Hosho Okuchi and Oda Honjo.

Not to mention now, Seidou High School has just made it big and is at the top of a wave.

Right now, being able to get an invitation from Seidou High School can be said to be the biggest recognition for middle school students. Originally, a giant like Seidou High School only selected players from the hardball league, and it was definitely their luck to be able to see them.

Not to mention, there is also this Senpai Sawamura Eijun.

Either way, there are many benefits.

Comparing heart to heart, there is no reason not to agree even if Sawamura stood on their side.

"Let me state in advance that when you enter Seidou High School, the competition is very fierce, terrible even. You must be mentally prepared! There, even if you put in the effort, you may not be able to gain anything. If so, you are willing to accept the challenge. If so, I welcome it." Sawamura finally said with a smile.

Everyone has their own aspirations and cannot be forced into a path. No matter how much he has to say, the future of Hirota and Matsumoto belongs to them. And Sawamura has no right to say what they choose.

As a Senpai, as a friend, and even as a coach, there is only one thing Sawamura can tell them.

If they take Koshien as their dream, and even further, then Seidou High School is the best choice!

As for competition, it is unavoidable. If you don't even have the courage to fight for the main force in Seidou High School, what about Koshien? What about going Professional?

'Then, I can only say, you're not made for this.'

Even if you join other weaker teams, somehow get ahead, and are lucky enough to get into Koshien, your ultimate achievement is just being a student player, and there is no way to make it as a Professional.

Everyone in the professional arena is a warrior. Without the determination to fight to the end, there is no way to stay on that battlefield.

The two of them listened to Sawamura's words, and their expressions did not waver in the slightest.

They were also the National Overlord once, and their spirit is still flaring.

They don't think they are less than anyone right now.

"I'm not kidding, the competition at Seidou High School is very high, especially the catchers."

Seeing the determination of the two, Sawamura couldn't help reminding them kindly.

Because Seidou High School suddenly won the Championship, will it change in the future? Sawamura did not dare to say anything.

But in his memory, the reason why Okumura and Yui joined Seidou High School was only related to Seidou High School's invitation.

At that time, the results of Seidou High School were only participating in the Spring Koshien. There is no reason, now that Seidou High School has become the national hegemon, they could not come.

If both of them come, the possibility that Matsumoto can take the main catcher from both of them is very slim.

If it is just catching, Matsumoto is definitely not worse than the two of them, and even better.

But when it comes to being a catcher, those two little guys are also monsters, and Matsumoto is completely incomparable to them.

With Koshien as his dream, Matsumoto's ideal situation is, of course, to avoid these two guys. But if going Pro is his dream, Matsumoto can also come and learn a lot from the two of them.

And Miyuki of course.

By the time he graduates from high school, Matsumoto can grow into a very terrifying catcher!

Of course, it all depends on his own choice, and what the future holds for them.

Right now, Eijun didn't know that because Seidou High School won the National Championship, many talents were attracted to the team, not only their original Kohai.

But this is a story for later.

For now, Sawamura's advice is not a problem at all for Matsumoto and Hirota.

Anyway, these two do not have options outside baseball, Hirota is the heir of a big company.

And so is Matsumoto, although he is the son of a mistress, the family doesn't have a lot of drama. And he didn't lace the opportunity in this part.

After chatting with the two, all the Players got together again, had a big meal, and played a game.

In this game, Sawamura was the referee.

There is no way, no matter which team he joins, the other team doesn't want to play.

After the game ended, they went to karaoke together again, and then they parted reluctantly.

***

When Hirota returned home, he saw someone waiting for him.

"Hello Hirota-kun, I'm Takashima Rei, the deputy president of the baseball club of Seidou High School. I'm in charge of scouting and recruiting. Now, on behalf of Seidou High School, I'm officially inviting you. I hope you can come to our school."

A beautiful woman with glasses was waiting for him.

Hirota jumped up excitedly!

'Shisho is Shisho, and the efficiency of doing things is high.'

After filming two commercials, Sawamura stayed at home for more days, until the 30th, before getting on the train and returning to Seidou High School.

On the day he left, friends from the original Akagi Middle School baseball team, including Hosho and Oda from Hoshiryu High School, all came to see Sawamura off.

On the train, Sawamura waved at his friends.

Outside the train, the Players chased the tram and waved to Sawamura.

For him, time seemed to stop at this moment.

It was not until a long time later that Sawamura awakened from the trance, and his heart was still warm.
