Those who overly pride wealth is like the overflowing water which shall cause damages. It is better to restrain early.
Those who are not content with fa is like polishing the edge of a knife.
The sharper it gets, the easier it is to break.
Wealth and treasures are but illusions that one cannot possess.
Those who are arrogant of their wealth and fa shall invite bla upon oneself.
The nature Tao teaches one to retreat after one’s success and not to hold on to the credit." -Tao Te Ching Chapter 9

[Faithful Friends Firehouse Field]
Like around the rest of the world, SeiõrSnow continues to fall all over Tomodachi Town and the field behind it’s firehouse.
The sky is beginning to pinken as the day is now winding to an end, and the sun is on it’s descent.
*CRACK!*
Quick footsteps, and heavy breathing combine before a "Hmph!"
...
*POP!*
...
Shelly: "Did he-?
He did it again...
Good catch Katsu!!!"
In the outfield Katsu gets up from the ground and wipes the grass and dirt off of him.
His dark, all black sweatshirt and sweatpants have barely visible grass stains all over them.
He smiles and jogs in to his awaiting pitcher to accompany him back to their dugout.
Jormungand once again stops sprinting rounding 1st base and jogs to a stop in front of his cute older sister.
This ti the young athlete is really annoyed and frustrated as he kicks the dirt.
Jorm: "Damn it!"
Drakania, noticing her brother’s sour attitude, and tries to calm him down as she softly places one of her soft hands on his shoulder.
Drakania: "Jormy, it’s okay.
You got a hit earlier in the ga.
Katsu and Shelly are just really good at sports and physical activities.
You shouldn’t be getting mad or frustrated because of them."
Jormungand watches as Katsu passes by behind Drakania.
Katsu sees Jormungand out the corner of his Anjell eye.
He stops and looks at the young athlete.
Katsu: "Aye, Jormungand..."
He holds up his tattooed thumb with his matching smile.
Katsu: "... You’re really making work out here.
Iwish you were on my squad!
You’re a beast of an all around athlete in the making!"
Jormy slightly blushes from the complint by his superior.
He then calmly takes the defensive glove from his proud sister.
Jormy: "Th-Thanks, Katsu.
Just... can I ask you sothing real quick?"
Katsu gets confused and glances over at Shelly. She is still on the mound while showing Itsuka the correct way to hold the baseball and properly throw a curve ball.
He looks back at the younger brother with a smile.
Katsu: "Sure.
Ask away, bro."
Jormungand takes a glance at Saku as the Izanami captain puts on the catcher’s gear, being traded over by Scylia.
He looks back at Katsu.
Jormungand: "How do you know where the ball is going to be hit?
Everyti you make a diving play, you start out in center field, but before the contact with the ball happens, you move over to the side the it conveniently gets hit towards."
Katsu listens on, his smile stuck on his face.
Jormungand: "It’s almost like..."
He nervously looks at Drakania before saying what is on his mind.
Jormungand: "It’s almost like you know the future and where the ball is going to end up."
There is so suspicious silence between the group.
anwhile, as he finishes putting on the chest protector, Saku finally notices both of the purple haired siblings he saved from Roronora, talking to Katsu.
The Izanami captain looks over towards the mound and sees Itsuka learning from Shelly.
The blonde walks away and makes her way to a chuckling Katsu.
Itsuka: "I think I got the hang of it now, Saku!
Is it okay if I throw a few practice curveballs?"
Saku moves his focus back over to her and nods with a half smile.
Saku: "Yea..."
He points the catcher’s mitt at her with conviction.
Saku: "...but just rember what I said!"
Itsuka playfully rolls her eyes and Snickers.
Itsuka: "’Just keep it out of the dirt’, I got it. I got it.
Jeez, I would never try to hurt you, Saku."
From 3rd base, the always loud and disruptive Laban can be heard. Using her loving voice reserved for only two people, Saku and Princess Rebekah.
Laban DaeMon: "Ohhh! Don’t you worry, my Sakiiii!
If that an, ugly, Amazonian hurts your balls, I’ll kiss them allll better for you
