"Thank you for staying by my side."
Another bustling day at OvenSmash High School! And....
Crack—!!
With that sound, the crisp noise of a baseball being hit echoes across the field today as well. The one who hit that ball is the baseball club's ace, Ice Pop! But perhaps because of his stoic expression, people find him very difficult to approach... However, even he has a childhood friend...!
Back when I was cold. I don't even know why I treated people so coldly back then. I think I just grew up that way. Maybe that's why in kindergarten or daycare, everyone was scared and cried or avoided me.
As time passed, I entered elementary school. In the 1st grade, I still couldn't make a single friend. Another year went by, and I became a 2nd grader. I was sitting alone, staring out the window for a long time, just like always. That's when someone approached me.
'Hi! I'm Guest! What's your name?'
It was the first time. The first time someone actually came up to me. At first, I ignored you. I found it annoying when people tried to talk to me. You looked hurt when I ignored you, but you didn't lose heart at all and kept approaching me. That bright smile was melting my heart.
'It's because you were there that I was able to smile.'
Under the warm sunlight. The bustling OvenSmash High School. And...
Crack—!
The crisp sound of a baseball being hit echoes across the field. And the one who hit that ball was... the baseball club's ace, Ice Pop.
With his ice bat slung over his shoulder, he blows a bubble and lifts his head, slightly raising his sun visor to watch the ball fly away. His expression remains stoic. It went far. Good, I should end practice here.
Approaching with sports drinks in both hands Ice Pop! Were you still practicing? By the way, that ball just now looked like a total strike, that was amazing! She smiles brightly. Even though she's seen his skills for years, it's still impressive every time.
