Chapter 1: Dormitory’s ‘Prank’
Chapter 1: Dormitory’s ‘Prank’
Sawamura bid farewell to his family and followed Takashima Rei to Seidou.
When he got on the train, Yamaguchi, Aoi, and Wakana, the baseball team’s friends, all came to see him off.
“This is for you!”
When Sawamura was about to get on the train, Aoi handed Sawamura a white baseball cap.
When he flipped the hat, there were the signatures and blessings of all Akagi’s players inside.
Sawamura felt that his nose was sore, and his tears could not be controlled. He hurriedly looked up at the sky and closed his eyes forcefully to stop the tears from flowing.
“Goodbye!”
At the moment of separation, the Players still cried. Sawamura sat on the tram, put his hat on his face, and let the tears slip from his eyes.
Goodbyes are bitter!
Separation is the most painful thing in life. Sawamura is not sure about death he didn’t know if he died, but this kind of separation is just as heartbreaking.
“Eijun!”
“Eijun!!”
Takashima Rei gave Sawamura a worried look, she was about to say something, but she stopped.
“Don’t worry, our friendship will not deteriorate because of the distance between Tokyo and Nagano.”
Wiping away his tears, Sawamura’s eyes became firm. After all his dreams are big.
Takashima Rei smiled at ease and nodded at Sawamura.
There was nothing to say all the way. By the time Sawamura and Takashima arrived at Seidou High School, it was already evening. Takashima Rei first arranged for Sawamura to eat something in the cafeteria, and then asked him not to forget the gathering time the next day.
“Our Coach is very strict. You must not be late on the first day. Because you are a special case the Coach has agreed to let you train with the First string. So now, you must be more careful.”
Takashima Rei kept Sawamura at the gate of the dormitory before saying goodbye to him.
“After you’ve packed your bags today, you can have a good rest. Although it’s still spring break, our training hasn’t slackened at all, and we wake up early.”
“Don’t worry, I’m mentally prepared for this,” Eijun replied.
Sawamura still has a fresh memory of today. Even after ten years of returning to the past, he still remembers every detail.
After all, in his previous life, he started his high school baseball career in less than 20 hours from now.
Separated from Takashima Rei, Sawamura went to Seidou’s Spirit (Seidou’s dormitory) alone.
In the hallway of the dormitory, clothes and shorts are hanging everywhere, and the breath of life is very strong. At a glance, you can see that many people take this place as their home.
In addition to these, there are training facilities.
Under the corridor of the dormitory, there are various small equipment for training strength, such as sit-ups, push-ups, bats, baseballs…
It’s like a baseball world!
Such a familiar environment made Sawamura feel nostalgic, and he couldn’t help but walk around.
Sawamura was at ease, but the two seniors who shared the dormitory with him were not.
After seeing Takashima Rei leading Sawamura into the dormitory, they started to prepare ‘Surprises’ for Sawamura, after the makeup was done, they hid at the door and waited, waited, and waited until their calves were sore, and they didn’t see Sawamura coming. Until someone is coming close to the door.
‘Finally! That kid is here. Damn, I’m so angry, I will teach him a lesson that he will never forget.’
A skinny young man, furious with rage, opens the door for Sawamura.
The sturdy senior next to him glanced at him with a complicated look, and the name on the dormitory door chose to be silent.
After an hour of looking around, Sawamura finally finished visiting the dormitory and glanced at the training facilities with nostalgia, before Sawamura walked towards the dormitory room in his memory.
Seidou’s dormitory is a mix of third-year, second-year, and first-year students. The purpose is to allow these seniors to lead their juniors and act as role models.
Masuko Toru! Kuramochi Youichi! Sawamura Eijun!!
The three names were written on the door plate of the dormitory.
‘Found it!’
A smile appeared on Sawamura’s face, and he was about to knock on the door.
squeak~
Before Sawamura knocked on the door, the door opened on its own.
Then a pale human head sticks out from it.
Um!
Before Sawamura understood what was going on, he saw a light shining from below the head. When the white light hit the person’s head, there was a ghostly feeling.
The head was pale, and every hole in his head was bleeding.
At this moment, time seemed to stand still, Sawamura’s fingers maintained the posture of knocking on the door, and when he saw the miserable head, he suddenly opened his eyes, and showed a mournful smile at him.
“Ohh!”
The corners of Sawamura’s mouth showed a bit of a smile, and then he threw himself at the creepy head.
“So cute!”
Kuramochi’s head was hugged, and he was stunned.
At this time, Kuramochi’s brain came to a stop and he couldn’t believe what was going on.
‘Dude, don’t be kidding, I’m pretending to be a ghost, but you say cute? What is going on with this kid?’
And then the dormitory lights were turned on.
And then in Sawamura’s eyes, the creepy head now showed its original color.
It turned out that it was a student who did the makeup. And he was a person Sawamura was no stranger to in his previous life, Kuramochi Youichi.
Before coming to Seidou, Sawamura had simulated this scene many times in his mind.
Seeing Kuramochi’s resentful and confused expression now, Sawamura’s heart blossomed with joy.
Pissing off Kuramochi is awesome!
“You kid, are you crazy?”
Kuramochi who is still pissed questioned Sawamura angrily.
“Don’t praise me Senpai I will get embarrassed.”
“I didn’t praise you!”
“Haha!”
…
After laughing, the giant Masuko came over.
“Sawamura Eijun?”
Sawamura looked at the flat-headed Masuko and greeted politely, “Masuko Senpai!”
Kuramochi looked at Masuko, then at Sawamura, and asked strangely, “Do you know each other?”
“No!”
“Yes!”
Masuko and Sawamura gave two very different answers.
Sawamura glanced at Masuko and smiled bitterly in his mind.
‘It seems that I have left a very bad impression on these third-year seniors when I came before.’
“Whatever, we will be roommates from now on.”
Kuramochi said with a smile.
“By the way, it’s just a tradition in our dormitory, it’s not that I want to harass you on purpose.”
“I know!”
“You know?”
Kuramochi looked at Sawamura strangely, wondering in his mind, how could he know.
Of course, Sawamura knew that this scene had happened to him once before in his previous life, and he himself did it twice.
“It doesn’t matter, just find the game console. I want to fight with you for 300 rounds.”
Sawamura threw the bag onto his bed, and then sat in front of the LCD screen, looking at Kuramochi with bright eyes.
Kuramochi looked at Sawamura blankly with a confused expression on his face. It was very strange, how did he know what he was going to do next?
“Hurry up.”
Sawamura was already impatient.
“Oh.”
In a daze, Kuramochi found the video game console that he had kept for a long time, and then plugged it into the LCD TV in the dormitory, ready to play against Sawamura for 300 rounds.
