Chapter 138: Meeting Friends

"This actually worked?"

Standing by the window, seeing all this with his own eyes, Kuramochi did not know whether to be annoyed or amazed.

He didn't know that it was he who taught Sawamura's current ability before Sawamura returned to the past.

At that time, Sawamura still asked confusedly, "What's the use of learning this?"

"Of course it's useful. We will be big stars in the future. We don't want people to follow us wherever we go."

"Great, who did you learn from?"

"I am self-taught without a teacher."

When he was young, Kuramochi was a typical troublemaker, a problem boy. In order to prevent people from coming to his home after causing trouble, he made a lot of effort to hide his whereabouts.

This is nothing that a hat and a mask can't solve, if it is not enough, then add a special hoodie.

The important trick lies not in the attire but in the act.

You have to act like it has nothing to do with you, with a purpose to go to, and half interest in what is going on.

Unless it is a person who is really close, most people will never see a flaw.

Sawamura dressed up as a staff member in the dormitory and pretended that he had a cold. Naturally, he put on a hat and a mask squinted his eyes again to hide his gaze, and glanced back at the dormitory every once in a while.

The probability that the reporter can recognize him is really not high.

Things like this are not necessarily difficult, the key is to do it with confidence.

Kuramochi's eyes were so wide that they almost popped out Because he felt familiar with the whole technique.

Lowering his head slightly, using his hat to cover his eyes, Sawamura freely shuttled through the crowd of reporters and spectators, walking away from the dormitory of the team.

"Niichan, wait a moment."

Suddenly, a voice came from behind, calling out Sawamura.

'Oops, someone found out!' Sawamura started to get anxious.

Sawamura played this set many times before his regression, most of them were successful, and of course, there were times when they failed.

Success is okay, but failure means big trouble.

Sawamura turned around, his eyes wandering around, looking for the best escape route.

In the hotel dormitory, Miyuki just saw this scene, and his stomach was about to burst from laughter, and Kuramochi was the same.

'Let me you get out of trouble.'

Sawamura returned to calm very quickly, he has done it not once or twice, although it will be troublesome after being discovered, but he has to handle it!

"Are you a hotel staff member? Can I interview you for a few words?"

The one who stopped Sawamura was a reporter, and he walked over with the cameraman holding the microphone.

This guy is very smart. Seeing that the interview with Seidou High School is hard to get, he wants to know the situation of Seidou from the side.

'He didn't recognize me, but it's more troublesome!'

In an instant, Sawamura judged the situation.

"Coach Kataoka, Why did he come out?"

With a hoarse voice, Sawamura called behind the reporter.

The reporter and the camera assistant beside him almost subconsciously turned their heads and looked behind them.

Just behind them, dozens of media reporters, and many audiences. It is not easy to find the shadow of Kataoka in this crowd.

If they don't go now, when will they wait?

Sawamura twisted his waist, turned around walked into a small alley, and then escaped smoothly.

Besides, the reporter looked around for a while, but couldn't see Kataoka, so he couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Where is Coach Kataoka, Niichan?"

Turning around, there is still the figure of Sawamura.

'So fast!'

The reporter and his cameraman looked at each other with a very strange feeling in their mind.

Just now, did they miss something big?

In the hotel dormitory, Kuramochi and Miyuki, who witnessed this scene with their own eyes, had their jaws drop to the floor.

That reporter was too stupid, he stopped Sawamura, how could he let Sawamura run away?

"Idiots!" Kuramochi said with annoyance as if he missed a good show.

Hearing Kuramochi's irritated comment, Miyuki smiled comfortingly: "I can't blame them all, their target was too cunning."

Should Sawamura catch wind of Miyuki's assessment of him, he'd surely feel quite aggrieved.

The day has come when MIYUKI KAZUYA called him cunning.

At most, he is only experienced against the opponents on the field.

The small river is far from the hotel near Koshien, Not particularly far. This is also related to the geographical location of this country because it is an island state with islands and mountains. This country does not lack two things.

One is volcanos and the other is rivers.

Don't wonder why there are always small rivers near in any Manga and Anime, that's because there are too many such rivers. Eighty or ninety percent of the people in this country have small rivers around them.

If the definition of around is defined from ten miles to twenty miles, it means that 100% of people can find it.

Sawamura didn't even take a taxi and walked over on foot.

There, two people were already waiting for him.

"Hi, long time no see!"

Sawamura greeted him with a smile.

The two turned their heads, stunned.

Didn't they just play a game this afternoon? Long time no see from there?

These two were the Hoshiryu High School players who had previously competed with Seidou High School.

They were also members of the original Akagi Middle School baseball team.

Catcher Hosho Okuchi, shortstop Oda Honjo.

The one who sent the text message to Sawamura is Hosho.

"It's really a shame you had to come out. When we went to find you, we were helpless by the surrounding reporters." Oda said with emotion.

Originally, they planned to go to the hotel to find Sawamura, but when they got there, they found that people had already surrounded the dormitory.

If they go in openly, reporters will recognize them immediately.

The former teammate of Akagi Middle School, now the opponent of Koshien, if they can be interviewed, those reporters will not miss the opportunity.

Perhaps not many have even thought to interview these two.

However, there are definitely not fewer reporters who are here to find anything they could find and interview the two of them by the way.

In addition, they took the initiative to come to them willingly, so there were more people interviewing them.

Seeing that nothing could be done, the two immediately retreated. It was Hosho who suggested sending a message to Sawamura.

The memory is from a little long ago when the Akagi Middle School baseball team entered the national competition for the first time. The scene before the final was similar to now, although there were not so many people, there were quite a few.

That's why he sent a message to Sawamura and asked him to come out and find a place to meet.

Now, he really came.

Midsummer nights always come very late. Even if the time has passed six pm, it is almost seven pm.

And the sun still hadn't completely descended, and the afterglow still shone on the ground, pulling the shadows of the three people very long.

Originally thought that there would be a lot of things to say after meeting, but when we actually met, I felt that there was nothing to say.

"Let's go," Sawamura suggested.

…

T/N: In Japanese, 'Niichan' which literally means 'brother' can be used to casually call a guy in the street like using 'dude' or 'mate' or 'man', etc in English.
