Episode 249 Royal road (1)
There is no memory that does not fade.
They say that forgetfulness is a blessing for humans, but even the few beautiful moments in life inevitably fade and become distorted.
Sorrow is overlaid with joy, and ecstasy is quickly dulled. But there is no need to feel regret. It means that you can take a moment to re-tie your shoelaces and prepare for the next time.
“VICTORY!”
“Damn it, don’t cry!”
“You are a blessing in and of yourself!”
After all the games were over, Victor stood in front of the World Series trophy on the field and cried like a child for a long time. Then he wiped his tears with the sleeve of his championship commemorative T-shirt and finally opened his mouth with difficulty.
“everyone…….”
He said only one word and started to shed tears again. When the fans who saw him started to cry and cheer, Victor turned around as if he couldn’t bear it any longer.
“My, my, my, my fool.”
Victor shrugged his shoulders as his eyes met mine, who were laughing behind him.
“If you tease me about today, I won’t let you off easy.”
“…Okay, so just wipe your nose with this and then talk.”
In a hurry, I handed Victor the cloth I had in my hand. I know he doesn’t care about saving face, but as a veteran of the team, it’s a bit much to have a runny nose in the winning photo…
“Hey, that’s mine…….”
“Uh, um. I’ll give you a new one later.”
“…It’s okay. I was going to throw it away anyway.”
Martin looked perplexed as Victor blew his nose into his palm, but he played it off as if it didn’t matter since he won anyway.
“JAY! JAY! JAY!”
“My baby angel!”
“MY JAYYYYYYY!”
“Jay, please be my child’s new dad!”
“Hey there, follow the order!”
After that, the victory ceremony continued for a long time and the stadium became a mess. I also posed with the trophy in front of the happy fans.
I was a little nervous, but the ground beneath my feet didn’t suddenly give out. There was no sinkhole next to the stage, and I certainly wasn’t sucked into it.
-Hey! What the hell do you think I am! Do you think I’m that immoral?
It’s a morality thing. I actually thought that way too, but yeah. At this point, I guess I have to believe it too. What can I do?
“Don’t ever get caught! If you get caught, you’ll die!”
“Are you telling me to get caught or not to get caught?”
“Just stand there and tell me!”
Casey and Sezai had a big chase with champagne in one hand. They weren’t exactly in their right minds to begin with, but after winning, they seemed to have completely lost their minds.
“You crazy bastard!”
Actually, when I saw them from the outside, I probably didn’t look much different from them. When I poured champagne into the mouths of the laughing players, I heard screams here and there.
“Ouch! Shooting at the Adam’s apple is against the rules!”
“So you should have put your Adam’s apple back a little.”
“What the hell are you talking about?”
Well, well, I don’t know. Victor saw Zimmerman groaning and grabbing his neck, and his eyes welled up with tears again.
To be honest, I can’t get used to it. It was such an awkward scene that I thought maybe Victor’s autonomic nervous system was malfunctioning, so the other men also commented on it.
“Victor, it’s a good day, stop crying and laugh a little!”
“You’re laughing!”
“Why is my nose running when I laugh?”
“You must be that old!”
In fact, Victor is considered an old man on the field, but he is still very young. The players shook their heads in dismay at the veteran’s self-deprecating jokes, and I smiled and held out my hand to Victor.
“Victor.”
“great job.”
As Victor and I shook hands, camera flashes went off from all directions. Victor, who had a serious expression on his face, eventually burst into laughter when a club employee came up close to take a picture.
“Damn, this is why I feel like I’m some kind of great actor.”
“Hmm, Victor might be better at acting like he’s crying.”
“It’s already started? Hey, isn’t it going too fast?”
Victor shrugged his shoulders as if to say, “Do whatever you want.” You shouldn’t give up already, right? Actually, I had something else I wanted to say.
“Victor. Do you remember?”
“what?”
“I’m talking about the wish bet you lost last time.”
“…I don’t remember.”
Victor muttered, “It was meant to be,” after hearing what I said, and then spoke softly.
“Please look forward to it.”

After the game, Red Sox fans quickly left the stadium. I don’t like the idea of Cubs fans having a championship party at someone else’s house, but what can you do?
They had no choice but to avoid the situation.
“Is that what you want to say to me right now?”
“Victor! Calm down, put down your bottle and let’s talk!”
“Calm down? How dare you say something like that in front of me?”
“Just how far do you plan on chasing me!”

“Wherever you are! Even to the ends of hell!”
So, the sight of a very angry Victor Aroswell and Hansey running down the warning track was a spectacle that only Cubs fans and players got to see.
“Those two always seem to get along really well.”
“Andy, are you jealous?”
Andy McGregor scoffed at Jude Miller’s question.
“No, not at all. If I run like that, I’ll wake up in the hospital the next day instead of at home.”
While people happily watched the Cubs’ future and present being chased, an interview room was set up led by reporters, and the players came out one by one to express their thoughts on the victory.
Manager Sean Tillaherty confessed that his head was ringing from the repeated chanting and said he wanted to enjoy the glory again next year, while Yandy Franco, who won the championship in his first year after transferring, calmly promised to win it for the second consecutive year, drawing cheers from the fans.
Johnny Garlick, the second-most tearful player on the team, said he wanted to continue to help the team, while a weary-looking Victor Arouswell was in tears again.
As the players each spoke, one reporter pointed out Han Je-i, who was quietly smiling.
“Jay, you too, please tell us! What were your thoughts when you were told you had won?”
Then Han Je-i answered without hesitation.
“I was happy.”
While the reporter was flustered by the overly short answer, Han Je-yi continued answering, his gaze fixed on the air. It was as if he was reading an old memory.
“If someone had told me in the past that this future would exist, it would have been less difficult. It was such a beautiful moment. It was so overwhelming. I want to share this overwhelming moment with Cubs fans next year.”
He is twenty years old this year. However, the expression on the young athlete’s face, as if he was enduring twice as much pain, made people’s imagination run wild.
Han Je-yi’s expression changed when he saw the reporter biting his lip. He didn’t want to make the atmosphere serious. Han Je-yi switched the microphone to his other hand and continued speaking with a bright smile.
“To do that, I will work harder than I am now. I will become a player who will not be ashamed of those who support me. So, I want to give glory to the me of that time for this win. Is that okay?”
I can confidently say that there was not a single person in the world who could deny that question.

[(2032 WS) ‘Series Shutout’ Cubs Win 4-0 to End Season!]
[Game 4 of the WS, the Cubs win 6-2 to take home the World Series trophy!]
[Daily MVP Han Je-i, 1 home run, 4 RBIs, 2 runs, 4 walks.]
[First WS win in 16 years! Han Je-i was behind the Cubs’ storm.]
└Our little king.
└Hmm, Jay is not small.
└Bro, small doesn’t mean that.
└The general manager got a free pass for drafting Jay. Drafting an outfielder will go down as Corey Brown’s greatest accomplishment.
└Damn, they won! The Cubs won!
└Why? It’s only been 16 years since we last won, not 108 years.
└Shut up and get out, you idiot.
[Victor Arouswell, who won his first championship ring as a player, gives a tearful speech.]
└Guys, isn’t this an AI photo?
└What kind of AI can even implement a runny nose?
└LOL. Weren’t you supposed to pretend you didn’t see anything?
└Oh my goodness. The day is coming when Victor will wear a World Series ring.
└I cried for a long time while watching him cry. It was a touching scene. So touching.
└Oh no LOL
[A baseball critic said, ‘(Han) Jay is a player who will never appear again in baseball history. It would be a shame for the Cubs to monopolize him… ‘]
└Fuck you.
└That’s what critics always say, you know.
└What era is this that someone says something like that?
└No, don’t skip it. It could be that the agency is working on it.
└Oh my. When I think about it like that, everything falls into place.
└Boss! Stop playing and go work!

* * *
I’m back in Chicago. It wasn’t really that long of a time that I was away, but it feels like it’s been a long time since I’ve been back, maybe because of the great feat of winning the World Series.
Not much has changed in the meantime. Chicago still exudes the charm of a historic metropolis, and it’s still full of passionate baseball fans.
what…….
I decided to ignore the signs of burned-out cars all over the city, the Cubs logos lacquered on walls, and the fans camping out in front of Wrigley Park, singing and drinking.
-That’s the most important thing, why are you pretending not to see it!
I don’t know, really. Sometimes, the answer is to just say, “Good things are good things,” and move on.
Anyway, the season is over, but the vacation is still far away. As the league champion, there are still many public and private events to take care of.
The World Series Commemorative Parade is one of them. It is an event where large, extravagantly decorated buses travel around downtown Chicago and greet home fans directly.
“You look great today? Who are you trying to charm?”
“You’re talking about other people. Look in the mirror and talk.”
The players, dressed in stylish suits, boarded their assigned buses one by one. I also boarded a bus that was fairly close to the front row, and greeted the citizens while holding onto the railing.
But if I had to pick one car that stands out the most out of all of these, I think it would all come down to one place.
“Damn, I can’t believe I ruined my first parade like this!”
“Who ruins a hammer? Everyone likes it!”
“Get out of my sight, you rascal!”
