Diamond no Ace : The Pitcher Returns

The grass grows and the warbler flies in the February sky, and the willows are drunk with spring smoke.

The new students start school on April 1st when the spring season is in full swing.

In Nagano Prefecture, the gate of Akagi Middle School is as lively as a temple fair.

Basketball club, dance club, archery club, kendo club…

One by one, the associations are like hawkers doing business, setting up tables, and planting flags. The club is responsible for recruiting members, and most of them are the leading actresses in the club. They are wearing well-cut school uniforms, smiling, and extending their hands to the juniors who have just entered the school. The jade hands are holding a piece of entry into the department. application form.

Walking through such a team, Yamaguchi was always dizzy. I've heard people say for a long time that club activities are very popular in middle school. There are relatively good clubs in the school, and there will even be disputes over the admission of new students on the first day of admission.

But who can tell him why he has been standing here for two hours and no one has come to recruit him? Those amiable senior sisters, when they saw him, naturally turned their eyes away, and didn't mean to talk to him at all.

When he entered the school, he was very hesitant. What if someone came to talk to him?

Yamaguchi Ken, who was 1.5 meters tall and weighed 150, was deeply lost.

"Young man, I am amazed by your bones and your talent. You are a once-in-a-century hitter. Are you interested in coming to our baseball club?"

This is really a mountain and water, and there is no way to do it, and there is another village. Just when Yamaguchi was lost, an angelic voice suddenly appeared behind him.

Turning around, Yamaguchi saw a figure that was half a head taller than himself, well-proportioned, and a little handsome.

The other party was looking at him with a smile on his face. His eyes are so clear that he looks like he can attract people.

What an attractive senior!

Although Yamaguchi wanted to agree in his heart, thinking about his situation where no one cares, can such a good club really accommodate him? You must know that no matter which school it is, the baseball club is a popular club.

"Senpai? Are you sure you want to invite me?"

Yamaguchi said and tried his best to shrink his bulging belly so that he didn't look so bloated.

"Sure, sure! It's really lucky for our baseball club to be able to invite a talented player like you."

This made Yamaguchi even more excited. Since he was a child, because of his size, he was not ridiculed. When people describe him, they are often associated with some kind of animal raised. For the first time in his life, someone said he was a talented player. Even if the other party is just polite, Yamaguchi is willing to listen.

While the two were talking, the other party had already stuffed a registration form into Yamaguchi's hand.

Yamaguchi signed up in confusion, and then became a member of Akagi Middle School's wild ball club. It was only after he had registered his name that he knew the name of the person in front of him.

"My name is Sawamura, Sawamura Eijun, you can call me Sawamura or Eijun!"!

Sawamura laughed like a fox stealing a hen, which made Yamaguchi feel a little ominous in his heart.

"Also, don't call me senpai, I'm a freshman this year, just like you."

Only at this time did Yamaguchi fully see the scene around Sawamura.

Behind Sawamura were two very simple-looking country youths, one of them was tall and thin, and seemed to be malnourished, and the other was so ordinary that even if he was thrown into a crowd, it would be difficult for others to find him.

Seeing that Yamaguchi was paying attention to his companion behind him, Sawamura enthusiastically introduced them to both parties: "This is my friend from the countryside, the taller is Nakagawa Nobu, and the slightly shorter Yamazaki Kou."

Sawamura's words were full of enthusiasm. Judging from Yamaguchi Ken's standards, these two guys are good enough to be crooked.

Suddenly, Ken Yamaguchi's unique vision for Sawamura was questioned.

What criteria did this charismatic classmate choose?

Sawamura didn't have the time to pay attention to Yamaguchi's doubts, and Yamaguchi Ken, who had just recruited, had just recruited three people. Even if he and his childhood sweetheart Wakana were included, it was only five people.

Four more!

The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard.

Silently cheering himself up in his heart, Sawamura started a new recruit with an ordinary face behind him, a tall and thin man with malnutrition, and a super fat man who was 1.5 meters tall and weighed 150. journey of.

These four people are particularly eye-catching in the recruiting team.

Some people who saw them immediately hid far away like the plague.

"Hey, people's hearts are scattered, it's hard to lead a team!"

Sawamura himself carried a baseball club's sign, attracting people all over the campus. In the end, after his unremitting efforts, he finally fooled a young man who looked like a quiet girl.

"Youngster, believe me, you must be a natural shortstop."

Sawamura's words were so firm that he was almost convinced by himself.

Yamaguchi Ken followed behind Sawamura with a strange expression. For some reason, he always felt that the line of Sawamura was very familiar.

"Don't we have senpais?"

No matter how modest Sawamura is, he has already recruited a lot of people. Yamaguchi Ken listened to him, including his friends from elementary school, there are six freshmen alone. So many people, ordinarily enough.

You must know that Akagi is only a small school, after all, There are only three or four hundred students in the third grade, the freshmen are in their early and this class is a typical yin and yang decline. It is said that all boys can hug each other and have plenty.

In this way, Sawamura's recruiting rate is still quite scary. Even if they are crooked melons and cracked dates, he has called a lot. Even if the senpai has given the task indicators, it should be completed.

"Senpai?"

Sawamura looked bewildered, and then suddenly realized: "We don't have senpais! So everyone is the absolute main force of our baseball club, and everyone has the opportunity to play..."

From there, Yamaguchi Ken thinks Sawamura trumpeted the bright future of their baseball club, and he always felt something was wrong in his heart.

"This school originally didn't have a baseball club."

Masayoshi Renya, who just joined, said.

"Then us?"

Yamaguchi Ken and Kurosaki and Nakagawa behind him all looked like they were being deceived. Without a baseball club, could it be said that they joined a club?

"At ease, at ease! The baseball club was just established. I specifically asked the principal to apply!"

Sawamura stretched out his thumb and pointed to his chest.

"Today is the first day of our Akagi Middle School baseball club!"

On the first day of freshmen enrollment, a wild ball club named Akagi Junior High School Baseball Club was established. Although now it seems that they don't even have a venue, and the number of people is not together.

But who could have predicted that Akagi would be so brilliant in the future?

Even Sawamura, just wanted to make up for the regrets of his friends when they were young and lead them to the national competition.

I'm Sawamura, and I've come to fulfill my promise.

Looking at the familiar faces on the opposite side, Sawamura said in his heart.
