Chapter 47: Long time no see!

Whoooorsh!!

It sounded like a hurricane whistling over and over.

Looking at the sound, they happened to see Raichi and his father.

The father, Raizou, sat on the ground without trying to keep any image, propped his chin with one hand, and reprimanded his precious son in a very bad tone: "Hey, put more focus."

In the eyes of Sawamura, such a Raizou has a different kind of charisma.

Wild and seemingly undisciplined, but in fact has its own skills and insight.

As a Coach, Todoroki Raizou has a style.

'He is probably not suitable to be a professional player or an agent from the beginning, but should be a supervising coach.'

For baseball, Raizou is definitely a professional. However, for other things other than baseball, he is probably not as good as normal people.

Opposite to Todoroki Raizou, Todoroki Raichi was wielding an old wooden bat in his hand.

The bat was swung as if the air was rumbling.

"It's them!"

When Kominato Haruichi saw the father and son, he whispered.

Before, the father and son left an impression on Kominato Haruichi on the field.

Carefree, messy, but very powerful.

Such father and son are naturally an odd sight.

"Today's pitcher is very good."

Raichi said in a muffled voice.

Todoroki Raizou was a little amused when he heard it: "Anyway, the opponent is the Ace pitcher of the top eight in the spring tournament. Let's move on. There are many more good pitchers in the country!"

"One hundred more swings, remember that feeling with your body, so you can continue to grow."

Hearing this, Todoroki Raichi showed an excited smile on his face.

"I still want to hit, I want to hit more! I want to hit all pitchers in the country!!"

"Gehahaha, Gehahaha, Gehahahaha~~~"

Todoroki Raizou said, "Raichi! if you go to the professional baseball, that way you can play against different pitchers every day!"

The conversation between the two frightened the tiny Haruichi and the quiet Furuya who were on the sidelines.

'They have already set their sights on the whole country and even the professional?'

'Compared with them, the goal of only getting into Koshien is nothing at all.'

'Even Seidou, whose goal is to dominate the whole country, seems to be…'

SNAP!

When Furuya and Haruichi's faces turned pale, suddenly someone slapped their back. Turning their head around, they saw who did it.

'Eijun!'

'It's Eijun-kun!'

"There is no need to be intimidated by other people's dreams. Set a small goal for yourself, then achieve it, and then set another small goal after you achieve it. The accumulation of such goals will definitely make you more successful in the future." Sawamura said softly.

This kind of 'wild dreams' is very suitable for a hot-blooded teenager like Kuramochi.

However, for someone like Furuya next to him was different.

The goal he set is definitely not less than Raichi and his father.

'And it is precisely because of this that he ultimately destroyed himself!'

Thinking of Furuya's state before returning back to the past, Sawamura's fist clenched tightly.

Now that he has the opportunity to come back, he will never let such a tragedy continue.

Meanwhile, Raizou glanced at the corner for a moment and said to Raichi.

"Since you've already defeated Sankou, who participated in the Spring National Koshien, next, your opponent in Tokyo will probably only be Narumiya from Inashiro Industrial!"

"Just try to beat Inashiro, and Narumiya, and then enter Koshien! After that, you will become a star, and two years later, you can also participate in the draft and win a large amount of contract signing money. Haha, and help me pay off my gambling debt."

The dialogue between the father and son caused a storm in the hearts of Furuya Satoru and Kominato Haruichi.

Defeat Inashiro, defeat Narumiya Mei?

Did they make a mistake?

Before you fight Inashiro, don't you have to face us, Seidou, first?

Before you face Narumiya, don't you have to face Eijun first?

"Hehe, what a rude thing to say, who are you doing to deceive with such psychological tricks, Ojisan?"

Sawamura chuckled lightly and walked out from the corner.

Todoroki Raizou noticed the three of them hiding behind the corner and was trying to put pressure on them by saying such things.

"Tsk, yeah, look who is here, isn't this the Nagano local tyrant?"

When Todoroki Raizou saw Sawamura, it was like seeing a fat sheep.

'Local tyrant?' Sawamura didn't like this title.

"Long time no see, Raichi."

"Oh, Eijun!"

Raichi looked at Sawamura with a surprised expression on his face. Then, he remembered something and stayed where he was.

'This guy is really the same as always, all his thoughts are written on his face.'

Sawamura nodded and looked at Raizou again: "Ojisan, long time no see."

Todoroki Raizou nodded: "Long time no see, you lied to us. I didn't know at the time that you were a big star. Otherwise…"

'Otherwise, what?'

'You will extort me more?'

In this life, this is not the first time Sawamura has met with Raichi and his father.

After Chris was injured, Sawamura often visited him in Tokyo.

It was due to a very bizarre coincidence that he knew that the newspaper boy who delivered the newspapers in the area of Chris's family house was the poor working Raichi.

At that time, Sawamura was just stupefied!

"Eh? Raichi? Why are you delivering newspapers?"

In the previous life, when the two had a friendship, Raichi was already a rookie in the major leagues and later on the home run king.

Eijun never imagined that this guy would suffer so much as a child. Even if the two have a good relationship later on, Todoroki Raichi is not the kind of person who will complain about his past.

He is completely different from Kuramochi and Narumiya on this point.

When the two were with Sawamura, they exposed the hardship they faced all the way from kindergarten!

It was only then that Sawamura knew what a tragic childhood Raichi lived after his mother left.

As a friend, he couldn't just see him like that, so Sawamura naturally invited Raichi to a big meal.

After that, the two had several meals together, and they also invited Raizou under the pretense that Eijun was asking for 'baseball advice'.

However, that's all, in the eyes of Raichi and his father, Sawamura is probably one of the rich kids who likes baseball. They don't even know that Sawamura is also playing baseball.

Later, Raichi saw Sawamura's name in the newspaper and the two had a showdown!

After that, the two lost contact.

From last fall when Eijun went to Tokyo to see Chris for the last time until now, the two have not seen each other for almost a year.

Therefore, Sawamura has not seen the two of them for a long time, but there is no tear-dropping union at all.

Great Demon Lord, Sawamura Eijun!

Todoroki Raizou was also looking at Sawamura news, and when Raichi said that he lost to a friend, Todoroki Raizou was shocked. Especially knowing that that friend was the one who came from Nagano, he was even more shocked.

It was also from that time that Raizou began to collect information on Sawamura.

After reading Sawamura's information, Raizou could only think of one word.

Genius!

Compared to the unknown person who has not yet emerged like Raichi, Sawamura has reached the top all by himself!

Champion, fame, and talent all in one person.

"This guy may be the biggest obstacle for you to reach the top."

In the end, this is how Todoroki Raizou described Sawamura to Raichi.

'I didn't expect to meet so soon!'

Todoroki Raizou was very excited.

Don't know if it's too early or too late?

"But whether it's sooner or later since you have chosen this path, there will always be this day."

The days of Sawamura Vs Raichi have entered the countdown!
