It must have been about two weeks after we started digging the hole.
Me and Laura-san were under a dry, sunny sky of early fall.
We were playing baseball with the slaves of the Schenker family.
With her long hair tied in a ponytail and a leather helmet over it, she is holding a bat on the left side of the home base.
As the pitcher, I was checking my grip on the ball on the raised mound.
「I only need to hit the ball you’ll throw with this stick, right?」
「Right right, let’s practice first, here it goes〜! Hou!」
The ball, which I threw with an overthrow, went right through the middle of Laura-san’s strike zone and landed beautifully in the mitt of Isuka, who was playing the role of a catcher.
The umpire standing behind Isuka raised her right arm.
「Strike!」
Good good, I’m confident in my control.
「Hey! Is that a good pitch to hit?」
「It is desu yo〜!」
It seems like I haven’t lost my touch.
In my previous life, I used to accompany my boss to the batting center to play target practice. Aside from pitch speed, I could even use a curveball.
「Return! Here it goes!」
「Rai!」
The return pitch from Isuka, a tigerkin with a tiger patterned tail, comes in with a bang. That’s faster than mine……
Ma-maaa……I can throw five different kinds of pitches.
「Here it goes again!」
「Bring it on!」
This next one is also in the middle.
I lifted my left foot and threw.
Bang!
Laura-san swung the bat lightly and the ball made a light sound as it sailed into the blue sky.

It all started with a tennis ball I had ordered for our twins, Noah and Lacus.
「Why are you giving that thing to our children? Are you trying to make them strengthen their grip?」
Laura-san tilted her head as she gripped the white ball.
The ball was from a basket of toys I’ve been collecting to give to the twins in the near future.
My children can’t even crawl yet, but I guess there’s nothing wrong with being prepared.
「No no, there are many ways to play with a ball. Catch it, play baseball, etc.」
「Is it? I’ve never heard of it in the north. Are there games like that around here?」
I was surprised to hear that.
Come to think of it, I don’t remember seeing something like that either.
Of course, we often played with a ball but it was the ball the size of a soccer ball, nothing like a baseball.
There are tennis balls like the one I’ve ordered just now but tennis is a sport reserved for nobles and not for commoner children.
I see, there’s no baseball in this world.
「Ah, no, sorry……catch ball and baseball were games in my previous life.」
「Eh? Ah, I see, so that’s how it is……」
Laura-san, who looked a little disappointed, threw the ball upward with a snap of her right and caught it again with her right hand.
Is she interested or something?
「Ah, no, how about……let’s give it a try?」
「The game from your past life?」
「Yeah, just for fun. Laura-san said she hasn’t been getting enough exercise lately.」
「I guess sooo……Maa, it’s good to play sports once in a while.」
She threw the ball up in the air again and caught it with her left hand and put it back in the toy basket.
When Laura-san does something meaningless, it’s when she’s in a good mood so maybe she’s looking forward to it.
Unlike me, who lives for my hobby, her life is all about reading, swords, and work.
As she grows older, she won’t have the chance to play with other people as much, so I hope she’ll enjoy herself to the fullest this time.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
