What Kazuya called "Ryota" was a tall, yellow-haired boy.

As a baseball pitcher, Kazuya has a height above the standard of most of his peers, but the boy in front of him seems to be more than a head taller than Kazuya.

He was wearing a simple white T-shirt and light-colored slacks. Even though he was a distance away from He Ye, he was out of the shadow cast by the leaves. It can be said that he was completely exposed to the scorching sun in summer. The corners of the mouth are still slightly hooked, the eyebrows are stretched, and there is a leisurely and comfortable smell like a stroll in the garden all over the body.

The boy's name is Kise Ryota, a... well, childhood friend Kazuya met in elementary school.

"Long time no see, Ryota." Kazuya greeted, walked quickly to the other side, stretched out a fist with a smile: "I thought I wouldn't be able to see you this summer vacation."

The young man named Kise smiled and punched Kazuya, "I really couldn't see it at first." The half-smile expression on his face quickly faded the moment the two fists met, and completely replaced it. With a genuinely happy smile on his face, "Who would have thought that the coach of the club I joined would temporarily change the boarding plan."

As he spoke, he raised his chin to indicate that He also looked behind him: "See that newly opened hotel by the river bank? Our Diguang Basketball Club is now having a summer camp there."

"How about it? Surprise?"

Kazuya smiled and hugged him, "Of course."

——Of course I was pleasantly surprised.

Counting it, he and Huang Lai haven't seen each other for more than ten years.

***

Kazuya and Kise's friendship began in the second semester of fifth grade.

At that time, the baseball club of Mingqing Elementary School led by Kazuya was the champion among the baseball clubs of the same level in the same district, and it could be called an invincible player in the whole district.

Countless elementary schools in the same district heard the news and came to challenge, but in the end they all failed, and none of the schools had the strength to call it a battle.

……wait.

Does this narrative style seem a little off?

Forget about such trivial matters.

In short, under the leadership of Kazuya, the baseball club of Mingqing Elementary School has become a well-known elementary school-level baseball team in this area, with countless defeats.

This caused many teams that were defeated by Ming Qing to go back and train harder every time after a disastrous defeat. They came back to challenge again after they felt that they had achieved results, but they returned from being abused. I never get tired of it (?), and it seems to have become a major attraction in this area.

Against this background, Kise transferred from another school that summer and became a transfer student in the fifth grade of Romance Academy Elementary School next to Mingqing Elementary School where Kazuya was.

In this way, it seems that there should be no intersection between the two—after all, even the schools are different.

However, this young man named Kise Ryota, besides his high appearance, also possesses another ability that makes people enviable, jealous and hated to the extreme.

That is, it is very easy to get started with various sports.

At first, it was just that Kise's class met for a football match with another class of the same grade. As a result, the boy who was the striker was accidentally injured before the game. The squad leader who wanted to help him quickly integrate into the class caught a young man and temporarily became the forward of the team.

As a result, as a result of that game, Kise's class completely abused the opponent. If it wasn't for the fact that it was too pitiful to watch the opponent until the end, the class leader took the initiative to replace Kise. One of the legends...

After this competition, the students discovered Kise's super talent in sports.

So by chance, a classmate had a whim and suggested that if it was Kise-kun, he might be able to lead the baseball club to beat Ming Qing's arrogant kids, okay?

Everyone was silent for a moment, and after that, this proposal received crazy likes from everyone.

What happened after that was that Kise was surrounded by the baseball club. After a simple trial training, he was embraced by the minister in tears, and he stiffly submitted the application for joining the club. He trained with the big team for less than two weeks. After that time, on a sunny day, I went to the baseball club of Mingqing Elementary School where Kazuya was located... No!It's a challenge.

As a result of that battle, Ming Qing finally won.However, Kise's brilliant performance changed Romance Academy from its previous disastrous defeat, and it lost to Ming Qing by only a slight difference of one point.

Such a result made the head of the baseball club of Romantic Elementary School feel confident. When he pulled Kise to look forward to the future, he was told with a smile that the other party did not plan to stay in the baseball club any longer.

Shocked by the Minister, all kinds of methods were used, and even mobilized the whole school to take turns to persuade and dissuade, but I didn't want to, Kise, who was always smiling and seemed very easy to get along with, this time firmly rejected anyone's proposal Pleas—including Mr. Hoshino, who is the supervisor of the baseball club.

In the end, seeing that Kise's attitude was really firm, the minister had no choice but to give up. However, the enthusiasm aroused by the previous competition did not fade away at all, which made him train more attentively in the next round. Finally, after another challenge to Ming Qing In , even without Kise, they failed normally, not miserably.

And in that game, Kazuya, who paid more attention to Kise's previous outstanding performance, found out that he didn't appear in the team this time, so he asked the opponent's team members and found out that Kise had quit After getting the answer from the baseball department, he actually felt very sorry.

Because, "He's really talented."

Originally, if it was just like this, the relationship between the two of them was nothing more than that, a brief acquaintance, a shallow intercourse, and then they separated, and there was no follow-up intersection.

However, in that match, Kazuya was not the only one who impressed the opponent deeply.

Kise also became interested in Kazuya because of the talent and aura beyond his age shown by Kazuya.

So he began to observe this talented pitcher who was hailed by the whole district as the future star of Koshien.

One day, two days...

The more he observed, the more frightened Kise became.

The other party is meticulously carrying out rigorous training every day—without the supervision and requirements of others, it relies entirely on its own will and self-awareness.

But why?

Obviously... he is also a person with talent?

Kise, who is not very interested in any sports because of his ability to easily learn any sports, is the first time to feel such a degree of dedication and enthusiasm for a certain sport from a peer .

So one day, when Kazuya stopped for a short rest in the middle of his morning jog, he appeared in front of him.

"Why do you have to do this?"

He looked across at the boy of the same age whose hair was wet with sweat and was panting a little violently. In a pair of golden brown eyes, blankness and indifference flashed past each other.

"You obviously have the talent to achieve the same level without having to work so hard?"

The black-haired boy on the opposite side was startled when he heard the words, and then, under Kise's blank gaze, he slowly smiled.

"Not."

He retorted softly.
