To:
All the members of the Brotherhood of Red Heart, and all the friends of Akagi.
When you read this letter, I will probably be in high school, playing games.
Please forgive my cowardice, I have not said this until now!
…
Thank you for always trusting me, and supporting me. Without you, Akagi wouldn't have gone so far.
Especially the brothers of the Brotherhood of Red Heart, we are all for our dreams, you have never asked to help us realize our dreams. In the stands of the Akagi Middle School competition, because of you, we have the most beautiful scenery.
I still remember when a reporter interviewed me, I patted my chest and said proudly.
"Our players' Spirit is always high because of two fan groups."
This is true, and I do feel proud to have you around. For myself and you!
On the eve of graduation, the forum message boards were flooded with messages asking me to stay in Nagano. To be honest, I was also moved when I saw this. I wonder what I can do so that everyone can support me, and like me so much.
I once thought too, to stay in Nagano regardless. Here are my dear friends and you. Since we can create an era in middle school, we can also create an era ourselves even in high school.
But whenever late at night, lying in bed, tossing and turning. I asked myself again, am I really willing to do this?
Please forgive my selfishness, I also have my own dreams and yearn for a higher stage. My dream is to make a career in the major leagues!
For this great dream, I must take a solid first step.
Someone once told me that any greatness comes from the bold first step.
With such a big ambition, I want to take this step no matter what! Although this step may make me lose a lot of things, let me lose the chance to accompany my relatives, let me lose the chance to be close to my friends, and let me lose the chance to be by your side!
I believe that my life will be more comfortable and better if I am by your side.
But the flowers in the greenhouse are destined to be difficult to grow into towering trees. If I am addicted to this gentle environment, how can I face my dreams?
Is my chosen high school the best choice? To be honest, I don't know myself. But it really deserves a choice in my heart. At least when I recall it in the future, I can answer myself with a clear conscience.
I tried my best! And I don't regret it!!!
It is not difficult for me to make this decision. It's because of you that it's really hard for me to tell you.
I never thought that the Akagi Middle School baseball team would have such loyal fans!
It is rude to say that it is you who have brought about a qualitative change in Akagi Middle School. There are countless good teams in the middle school, and there are two national champions every year.
None of this is a big deal! The reason why Akagi Middle School became a legend is precisely because of you, and because of you, Akagi Middle School is even more legendary.
I will never forget the moment when Obayashi and Kobayashi took their friends to stand in the stands.
It is you who give us strength!
After today, I will no longer be able to represent Nagano in competitions. As a person from Nagano Prefecture, I also understand everyone's position. At this time, you may not be able to support me as before.
Saying I have no regrets is a lie.
But I believe we will understand each other and bless each other.
Hope everyone is well forever!
Sincerely, Sawamura Eijun!!!
…
After typing the more than 1,000-word letter, Wakana let out a long sigh.
"Look, how is it?"
She turned and asked behind her, the former Akagi Middle School baseball members.
"It's a little cringe."
Yamaguchi Ken touched his plump chin and said thoughtfully.
Wakana hesitated for a moment: "Do I need to change it?"
"It's fine"
"Everyone's mood must be very complicated now, and the silent comfort of soothing things is far more convincing than those strong words."
"But it doesn't sound like Sawamura's tone."
"They don't know Sawamura anyway, so that's fine."
"That said, even if other people don't know each other, Obayashi, Kobayashi, Miyamoto and the others still know him."
"Don't worry, Obayashi and Kobayashi will also help."
"After all, we are old irons who have eaten together."
The Players made suggestions in a lot of talk and finally agreed to send the letter to the forum.
In fact, many people who know Sawamura know that this letter was not written by Sawamura himself.
But what does it matter? People always have reasons to convince themselves. Especially when the choice you will make is consistent with the evidence that appears, then no matter whether the evidence is true or false, it will become the most effective dialectical tool.
The members of these fan clubs have long since forgiven Sawamura's choice in their hearts. It's just that because of their own position, it is difficult to express their feelings for a while.
Once you give them a step up, I believe they will accept it easily.
"By the way, Wakana, what did Sawamura say in that text message?"
On the big weekend, everyone gathered together to help Sawamura.
They just finished writing these things, and everyone still doesn't know the answer that Sawamura really gave!
"See for yourself."
Wakana took out her phone angrily and showed it to her friends.
There was a text message from Sawamura on it.
"Apologize for me! I'll leave the rest to you."
It's definitely Sawamura's style of doing things.
These former Players of the Akagi Middle School baseball team looked at each other and smiled bitterly!
Sure enough, it is the style of the boss of their Team, that is, simple and direct, absolutely not sloppy.
Of course, these guys also know that Sawamura must be in a very complicated mood. It's just that Sawamura is not the kind of person who can express his feelings in words.
In that sentence, he said all the things he had to say.
Apologize for him and leave the rest to them.
"It's really hard."
"Even after you graduate, you will still order people around."
"It really is the Captain's style."
The former Teammates are getting mad one by one.
Although their mouths were full of complaints, their faces were full of energy.
At this time, it was only them.
Who made them Sawamura's friends?
"The next Sawamura games will be uploaded."
"Yamaguchi, go back. Aren't you in the first string in your team?"
"What does it matter? I am a substitute anyway."
