Chapter 42 - Good News (2/2)

Shun: ”No!!!!”

Shun was not messing with his parents. He really thought that they were having a baby. He got so sure of the idea that he didn't consider that it might be something else, and that made Shun more devastated when his mother said otherwise.

It took some time for Shun to recover from the shock that he suffered.

Shun cleared his throat and said.

Shun: ”Sorry, you both had to see that. You both know how I get when it comes to a younger sibling.”

Shun's parents nodded. Shun had tried many things when it came to making them have another baby from bribing to coercing, he had used every trick in the book to make them have a baby, but Shun's parents had successfully avoided every attempt.

Shun sighed and asked his parents weakly,

Shun: ”So, you never told me why were you cuddling in the middle of the day.”

Shun's mom's eyes brightened, and she spoke with happiness showing in her voice.

Mom: ”Your father signed an exclusive contract with the Yomiuri Giants of the Nippon Professional Baseball League.”

[A/N - 1: Nippon Professional Baseball League is the Japenese version of MLB(Major League Baseball).]

Shun's eyes widened to the limit.

Shun: ”An exclusive contract with a professional baseball team!”

Baseball was huge in Japan; baseball was the most played sport in Japan. Koshien, the high school baseball tournament, was at the level of a festival in Japan.

So, you could imagine what level the most popular professional baseball league would be.

[A/N: In basketball terms, Suzuki Ichiro was the Best Offensive Player for ten consecutive years, rookie of the year, and the MVP in his rookie year for the MLB (Major League Baseball).]

And, the Yomiuri Giants, was one of the three teams based in Tokyo and the front runner in the league, an exclusive contract with such a team was basketball equivalent of signing a deal with the Los Angeles Lakers or Golden State Warriors.

Dad: ”My clinic will now handle all of the Yomiuri Giants player's physical health. The Yomiuri Giants are now our biggest client.”

Shun hugged his father in congratulation.

Shun: ”This is a great step up from the clinic, and this contract is in itself a great advertis.e.m.e.nt.”

Shun's father nodded.

Dad: ”With professional baseball players attending our clinic, we can now draw in more professionals from different sports.”

The Kageyama family decided to go have dinner outside.

Mom: ”I will allow it today. This is a big deal for your father and his clinic.”

Because of Shun's mother being a nutritionist the household only went out for lunch, she didn't want the family to be eating high-calorie food as the last meal before sleep, that was what made fat build up in the body.

Shun got up to have a glass of water but not before teasing them one last time.

Shun: ”Well, this is great and all, but I would have preferred if you had just told me that you were having a baby.

And, don't worry about the photo it is a good one, I will frame it and give it to you as a present on your marriage anniversary.”

Shun exited the room humming, while his parent stammered in their seats, speechless at their son.
