A word from the author:
I'm new to this, so please forgive my lack of writing skill! I just feel so bad for poor Eijun. The angst has my motherly heart in knots!
This has no official pairing. You can think of it as a parallel universe, since a lot of the details are different from the anime, and things change quite a bit. Just treat them as the author's headcanons, hehe~
Blurb:
When Asagiri Tsuki learns that he's being handed over as compensation for a debt, he can't help thinking, What a joke. But she is his own mother, so what can he do? Naturally, he accepts it calmly.
So he tells the other party, "Then send me to the world of Ace of Diamond."
With a whoosh, he isn't reincarnated directly. Instead, he's dragged into the other party's mental space and forced to study all kinds of baseball knowledge.
Not only that, the other party thoughtfully prepares virtual characters for him to practice with, saying this is how his mother shows her favoritism toward him.
Please don't, thinks Mizunazuki. Nobody wants to study nonstop all year round!
The process is difficult, but the result is good. During training, Asagiri Tsuki gradually comes to love the catcher position, and the satisfaction of controlling the whole game and winning!
In the end, the other party throws him out of the mental space, body and soul together.
"You're really that generous?" Asagiri Tsuki stares in disbelief at the villa and a pile of stock documents before him. They must be worth at least tens of billions, right?
The other party gives him an inscrutable smile and floats away. The consciousness of Blue Star senses what's going on, gives a little grunt, and flies off with its head held high to go to work.
A month later, Asagiri Tsuki arrives at the Koshien game. He's passionate, excited, and full of energy. This is his first impression of high school baseball.
"This Kitagawa High School seems interesting. Maybe I'll go check it out."
Bonus scene:
"Hahahaha! I told you Master Sawamura is the best! A catcher even invited him! All right! All right! All right!" Sawamura jumps up excitedly, confirming again and again that the other person really did invite him to pitch!
Asagiri Tsuki opens his shoulder bag and takes out his catcher's mitt. He walks over to where a wooden board has been stuck into the ground, moves it aside, and crouches down in its place. He holds the mitt in the middle. "Come on! Aim for my mitt and throw the ball. I believe you can do it."
Standing on the mound, Sawamura feels heat rising through his whole body. He slowly takes a deep breath, in... out... He feels like he's in amazing shape! He's so excited he could tremble!
He watches the catcher across from him set up his mitt and throws the ball without hesitation.
Whoosh! The baseball cuts through the air, flying in a descending arc.
Asagiri Tsuki never takes his eyes off the ball. The instant it nears home plate, he leans forward slightly and reaches out with his mitt.
Smack! With a crisp, muffled sound, the ball lands securely in his mitt.
Theme: Baseball
This is youth [], a nostalgic period of youth where you can play and make noise
Dang, cheating in person!! The catcher is really carefree (shaking his head)
Congratulations to the teacher for successfully signing the contract!!!
Teacher, don't give up 🥺 the plot is very interesting [comparison]
It was even deleted by Terashima himself. Really sad
Maybe I've raised my little seedling to death again. I hope the teacher can fill the hole in his lifetime.
It doesn't matter. Baseball literary connections are more normal. I just hope that I really don't get into trouble. There are too many pitfalls and I can't climb out from the bottom.
Would it be better if the teacher's name was added with "Ace of Diamonds"? Baseball itself is very cold, but Diamond A can be a little bit hotter
