Quitting the Company and Opening a Cafe Episode 292

I honestly underestimated it because it was high school baseball, but it was more exciting than I thought.

Both the players playing and the spectators cheering them on.

‘You’re full of energy.’

The stadium was a veritable explosion of energy.

Adults, children, men and women, young and old, everyone cheering and enjoying themselves.

It was a sight that made me think, this is what healthy activity looks like.

“If high school baseball is like this, what about professional baseball?”

“That’s right. I thought it was just a high school baseball tournament, something a little bigger than a sports day. It wasn’t for nothing that I even had tickets.”

There were a lot of people, not just players and officials, but also people who just watched the game, people who cheered for the high school baseball team, etc.

And for them, this was truly a place of healing.

Because the good energy came together, even people who were in a bad mood couldn’t help but feel better.

“That’s good. I’d like to go watch a professional baseball game sometime later.”

“Hey! Sister! Then let’s go together!”

“I wonder?”

“Yes! The professional baseball season is over this year, so let’s go together next year! And when my brother becomes a pro, let’s go together again!”

“Okay then. That’ll be fun. If Suho goes pro, you won’t have to worry about tickets, right?”

“Yeah, yeah! Hehe!”

A smile came to my face at the conversation between Hansong and Suah.

Knock knock!

“Huh? Why?”

“A drink.”

“Ah. Should I give you more?”

“yes.”

“Okay. Here.”

Sia asked for more, as she had already finished her drink. I had expected this, so I filled a thermos with it in advance.

I didn’t know, but apparently you can’t bring bottles or thermoses into the baseball stadium. It was probably for safety reasons.

Fortunately, this was a high school baseball tournament, and since they were renting a public sports field, there were no such restrictions.

And since they said I could bring a tumbler or something, I brought a small thermos.

He quietly poured the amount of drink he wanted to drink into a paper cup and gave it to her.

“ruler.”

“thank you.”

Sia actually didn’t seem to be very interested in baseball. He seemed to be focused only on eating.

Still, a clear aura emerged in a good mood.

Well, this is how you enjoy it.

“Yes! Looking for three strikes! Baek Su-ho is good!”

When I looked at the stadium after hearing Su-ah’s scream, I saw that a batter was being replaced.

“The game is faster than I thought. It seemed really slow when I watched it on TV.”

“That’s right. It’s my first time seeing something like this, and it’s incredibly dynamic.”

To borrow Suah’s words, Hansong-i and I, who are not good at baseball, watched the game with great interest.

If it’s a strikeout, it’s a strikeout. What’s a looking strikeout?

First of all, it seems like Suho is doing well, so I should cheer him on.

“But do you know anything about baseball?”

“I know.”

“Really? Do you have a favorite team?”

“Twins.”

Surprisingly, Lee Sun-ah seems to watch baseball quite a bit. I learned something new.

And as soon as I learned that fact, Hansong’s questions followed.

“Then what is that? It seems like it’s over, so why are they throwing the ball among themselves?”

“Is a foul a strike?”

“Ah~ Then… … .”

Thank goodness I don’t know much about baseball, so I can avoid those questions.

However, Lee Sun-ah didn’t seem particularly annoyed and explained things well.

“Oh, just look!”

“Why are you yelling? Just because I asked you something.”

I heard the sound of a fight coming from somewhere. It was a couple who looked like they were a married couple.

Yeah, there are people like that.

It was a bit awkward, but seeing him explain things like that again just made me laugh.

I glanced again and saw that they were both smiling. They were both noblemen.

“The air force has changed.”

“Huh? So now Suho’s team is going to attack?”

“huh.”

“Are you going to hit Suho too?”

“Suho is a pitcher and a batter, so he’ll hit. But usually pitchers just pitch.”

“Ah~ So Suho is a special case?”

Han Song-i seemed completely absorbed in baseball rules and common sense. And Lee Seon-ah’s lips were filled with satisfaction as she watched the newbie.

I feel like there’s some kind of intention behind that…

“Are you going to watch the Twins game when it starts later?”

“Huh? A pro team? I told you to go with Su-ah anyway, so should I do that?”

I can see what he’s up to. It seems like he’s trying to subtly lead you to the team he supports.

It was such a cute plot that I decided not to bother and just let it slide.

Taaah!!

“Wow!!”

At that moment, the sound of someone hitting the ball erupted, along with cheers from the crowd.

Looking at the stadium, I could see players moving busily.

Someone who appeared to be a Baekho High School player advanced to first base.

“Run~ Run~”

“Blow it~ Blow it~”

As the hit came, the cheering grew louder. And the game began to heat up.

I guess it can’t be helped that sports games inevitably require some exciting offense.

Of course, from a defensive standpoint, it is important to stop it before it gains momentum like that… … .

Taaang!!

Someone hit the ball again.

This time the ball went into the air and was caught by the defending infielder.

Ahh~!

Sighs of regret were heard here and there.

I guess it was because we got our seats with the tickets Suho gave us, so most of the people around here were Baekho High School supporters.

That’s why the cheering got louder when I hit a home run earlier.

“Is the next batter Baek Su-ho or something?”

“He’s so good? He’s only a second year student.”

“That’s right.”

“I envy you.”

From the sounds heard nearby, I saw Suho stepping out to type.

“Mister! Hurry up and cheer! You should cheer when he’s batting, not when he’s pitching!”

“Okay. Okay. Take the placard.”

Usually, the team that is attacking cheers. So right now, I’m cheering and Suho is up to bat.

“The strongest white tiger wins!”

They even shouted out the phrases on their T-shirts along with the placards as slogans.

It’s not often that I go somewhere and make a lot of noise, but since I’ve come this far, I have to cheer them on.

We heard people around us bursting into laughter, but we cheered them on steadfastly.

and.

Taaaaang!!

“Wow!!”

“Oooohhh!! It’s going over!”

“Home run! Home run!”

The crowd erupted in cheers as Suho’s hit had a distinctly different sound.

It was a home run that went over the fence.

“oh my god!”

“Wow!”

He hit a home run right in his first at-bat.

Suah jumped up and down, and Sia, who had been focused only on eating, also jumped up with her eyes wide open. Hansong-i went without saying.

“Isn’t that a home run? Wow! Suho is really good! I saw him again! His face was so pale, I thought he just came here to watch all the time.”

The strange misunderstanding has been resolved. Well, Suho’s skin is not white enough to cause such a misunderstanding.

Anyway, in the meantime, Suho ran around the base with the runner who had gone out first and came home.

The players in the Baekho dugout and the people in the cheering section were all filled with excitement.

In addition, the aura also shook.

‘Huh? What about the other side?’

I glanced over and saw that the aura on that side was definitely slightly sunken.

But that was only for a moment.

“It’s just the beginning!!”

“Okay! Daeunggo, fighting!!”

As someone raised their cheering voice, Aura gained momentum again.

‘That’s fun.’

It was fascinating and fun to see these types of spirits.

The cheering and energy of the people going up and down.

I could feel the vitality of the people.

But this state did not last forever.

Because the game started to become one-sided.

“Yes! White Tiger!”

It was a one-sided offensive by Baekho High School.

After the defense, the batters hit a few hits and scored again, and the offense and defense changed.

And Suho’s great pitching after returning as a pitcher.

Even among the opposing batters, there were some who occasionally hit the ball, but even those were immediately blocked by the infielders’ defense.

Baekho High School had the upper hand in both offense and defense.

I could see that our side’s momentum was gradually increasing and the other side’s momentum was decreasing.

“Baekho High School is doing well.”

“That’s why it’s completely sweeping this year. It’s all thanks to you, oppa.”

“Do you play baseball alone? The whole team plays together.”

“Hehehe! That’s what I mean.”

Su-ah seemed happy as her older brother Su-ho’s team took the lead.

Well, that can’t be helped. Who wouldn’t like their older brother playing in a game?

But not everyone liked it.

“When is our baby coming out?”

“Well, the pitcher is so good right now… … .”

“No, since he’s good at it, can’t you change him? And I heard he can type too?”

“Wait. Be quiet.”

I heard the couple who had been bickering earlier.

I cheer for Baekho High School, but it seemed like there was another player I cheered for among them.

From what I’ve heard, it seems like one of the players is your son…

It was an understandable story.

But Su-ah also heard those words and tried to turn around.

“Su-ah. Eat some of this too.”

I quickly grabbed her and handed her a matcha latte. It was a version without coffee.

“oh!”

The moment Su-ah picked up the cup and was about to drink, the opposing team called a foul.

But, as luck would have it, the ball curved in the air and flew towards the audience.

‘huh?’

The trajectory is exactly this way.

“Watch out! It’s a foul ball!”

I could hear warning sounds here and there, but to me, the ball falling seemed to be in slow motion.

Okay!

The ball fell exactly this way, and I reached out and caught it. It wasn’t difficult to catch it gently with the help of the Tenmu technique.

“Oh! Nice, mister!”

“Wow! How did you catch it?”

Su-ah and Han-song-i were excited.

I just caught it… … .

Let’s quickly change the topic back to the game.

“The air force has changed.”

“Oh! Yay!”

The air force is changing at the last minute.

It was an attack on Baekho High School.

With Su-ah, people’s attention was once again drawn to the stadium. And the game… … once again flowed one-sidedly in Baekho High School’s favor.

However, a strange aura started to appear in the flow when the game was past its midpoint.

It was an aura that started from the couple who had just complained that their son wasn’t coming out.

Immediately after the pitcher was replaced.

“This is my son! My son! Fighting!!”

When the couple’s son stepped up as a pitcher, the cheering naturally came from there.

The problem is… … .

Taaang~!!

“Wow!!”

At the same time, the flow of the game changed, and not in a good way.

The attack, which had been blocked for a while, was opened up with the change of pitchers.

There was still a score gap, but it was important to gain momentum in a sport like this.

The audience also became quiet as they knew this fact. All eyes turned to the parents of the players.

The parents who had been cheering them on until just a moment ago became quiet as if they knew about it.

In such a strange atmosphere.

“Sir! Madam!”

Suah suddenly turned around and spoke to the couple.

What is he trying to say… … .

I tried to stop it quickly, but it was too late.

“Would you like some of this? The old man here made it and it’s really delicious!”

“Huh? Oh, oh. Oh, thank you.”

“Hehehe! By the way. What’s our Baekho High School pitcher’s name? I heard it earlier but I forgot.”

“uh?”

“Let’s cheer together!”

The couple who accepted the drink that Su-ah offered seemed embarrassed and even told the pitcher’s name. Then, Su-ah, who heard the name, called out the pitcher’s name first and shouted.

Wow!

Bewitched by him, other people also started cheering one by one.

‘You’re doing something quite special.’

Even the pitcher began to gain strength as he heard the cheering.

at that time.

Shararang~

‘huh?’

A completely unexpected flow of aura was seen.

It was an aura that was immediately absorbed by Su-ah.

The aura that started from the couple behind them was absorbed into Su-ah along with the surrounding auras.

‘What is this…?’

Of course, Su-ah, who knew nothing, just cheered hard.

And the more you do that, the more aura you absorb!

Ssurukruk~ Pong!

The flower of talent that bloomed on Su-ah’s head has borne fruit.
