Playing house in the anime world

Ryoma Echizen tried to fool his father according to what Gojo Aiko said, but failed miserably.

The reason for the failure was not because Gojo Aiko's method was ineffective, but because he was too careless. He did not find a quiet corner, but made the phone call directly around the competition venue.

His statement that "Hyotei and Rikkai University invited Seigaku to participate in a training camp together and he also received the invitation so he rushed back overnight" was exposed amid the "bang bang" sound of tennis balls and messy talking because people from Shitenhoji were talking in the background.

Echizen Ryoma tried to make amends by saying that it was because they had also invited Shitenhoji, but the damn old man actually said that he had called coaches and teachers from other schools, and found out that the training camps at all the schools had already ended or had not taken place at all!

If he continues to explain at this time that it was a private training camp they organized themselves, then there will be a big problem, because some schools are more relaxed and will not care what you do in private, but some schools are very strict, and for a big event like a training camp, especially with other schools, you still need to at least inform the coach or teacher.

After all, playing tennis is a sport, and there is a certain risk of injury. If you get injured during some private competitions, or do something bad that causes some bad influence, it will be difficult for the school.

In particular, they are all well-known players in their own school's tennis team and are the focus of attention.

But if he said that it was not a training camp but just a simple party, then there would be no reason for him to rush over overnight.

Besides, whether it was a training camp or a party, they would have been notified in advance, right? So, was it that Echizen Ryoma was not informed in the first place, but he unexpectedly found out and rushed over overnight, or was there something more fishy going on?

Kirihara Akaya was nearby and was about to laugh loudly at Echizen Ryoma who was speechless when he was asked the question, but he saw Echizen Ryoma making frantic gestures to him, indicating that he should go find Gojo Aiko.

Toyama Kintaro covered his mouth silently. Just now, he was whispering with Kirihara Akaya and was heard, which caused Echizen Ryoma's father to become suspicious.

Kirihara Akashi also curled his lips, and finally went to find Gojo Aiko.

Gojo Aiko stared at Echizen Ryoma who was stalling for time with his incoherent words. Why on earth was this guy so obsessed with and concerned about tennis? To the point where he rushed over overnight after hearing about the tutoring class and the club!

However, if he tells his family that he wants to return home early, there will inevitably be another round of wrangling, and he may still have to go through the current situation, and by the time he returns, several days may have passed.

So if you think about it carefully, it’s better to do it first and report later. Anyway, I’m already here and you can’t make me go back.

But how to explain this? Even Gojo Aiko doesn't know!

Aiko Gojo thought about the countermeasures urgently and then came up with an idea.

She took Ryoma Echizen's cell phone.

"Excuse me, is this Uncle Echizen? I'm Gojo Aiko, the manager of the Rikkai University High School tennis club." Gojo Aiko looked at Ryoma Echizen who breathed a sigh of relief, and wanted to kick him, because she didn't have the confidence that she could fool him!

"Oh, the new manager of Rikkai University." Echizen Nanjiro had a vague impression of it, because Echizen Ryoma once mentioned that Rikkai University actually found a manager this year.

"It's like this. During junior high school, we went through a lot of competitions together and formed a deep friendship with each other. This year, we had a sleepover with Rikkai University and Hyotei. During the event, everyone had some regrets, so we decided to hold a party and invite everyone to attend."

While Gojo Aiko was stroking her chin and trying hard to fool Echizen Ryoma's father, Atobe Keigo and Tezuka Kunimitsu suddenly came over.

It turned out that Kirihara Akaya felt that the situation seemed more urgent than he had imagined, so he went to look for help. Since it was Ryoma Echizen who caused the trouble, he went to find Kunimitsu Tezuka. Coincidentally, Keigo Atobe was there too, so the two of them came together.

"Yes, I want to hold a party, but because of the competition and the fact that the dates never match up, I can't find a day when everyone can be there." Atobe Keigo walked to Gojo Aiko's side, "When we discussed it last night, we found that today is a day when almost everyone is free, except Ryoma."

"So... he returned home overnight?" Echizen Nanjiro scratched his head. In the past, all his companions and opponents gathered together, only Ryoma was abroad, so once the date was confirmed, he immediately rushed over overnight. This really seemed like something he would do.

"In fact, we didn't expect him to do this." Tezuka Kunimitsu glanced at Ryoma Echizen who was standing next to them with an embarrassed look on his face. They were also responsible for this matter. They ignored the fact that only Ryoma was abroad and could not get here quickly, so they should have told about the tutoring classes and the club at least two or three days in advance.

"This kid... forget it, his special training is about to end anyway." Although Echizen Nanjiro wanted to complain for a moment why they played tennis when they got together, but when he thought about it carefully, it was normal for tennis players to play tennis when they got together.

Kunimitsu Tezuka took the phone and chatted with Nanjiro Echizen again, trying to completely dispel his doubts by talking about this and that.

Atobe Keigo announced in the group that they would hold a banquet later, and would tell others that they were there to attend the banquet.

Byodoin Phoenix looked at them and smiled knowingly, because due to various accidents, the existence of the club was almost discovered by the school coaches and teachers. They had experienced this many times before.

Every time they had to try very hard to fool people. At the beginning, they didn’t say they were very determined not to let the adults find out about the existence of the club, but after experiencing several "exposure crises", this situation of fighting wits with coaches and teachers became an additional fun challenge.

Moreover, some coaches and teachers may have guessed the existence of the club, but both sides tacitly pretended not to know each other. I pretended that you didn't know, and you pretended that you didn't know.

They had also considered inviting coaches from various schools to be coaches of the club, but they were always worried because once coaches and teachers were involved in the club, they would lose their autonomy and the club would be controlled by the coaches and teachers.

If they are all students, then basically they can discuss any dissatisfaction. For example, if they are not satisfied with the tutoring class idea proposed by Aiko Gojo and others, they can certainly refuse. But if the tutoring class idea is proposed by coaches, there is definitely no way to refuse.

After finally fooling Echizen Nanjiro, Tezuka Kunimitsu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I have known for a long time that the legendary tennis player Nanjiro Echizen is Ryoma's father, it always feels unreal.

And, did they really get away with it?
