Prince of Tennis: It's my system. My victory depends entirely on the host.

Since winning the U17 championship three times in a row with his teammates, Niou Masaharu has been in a state of confusion.

He didn't know whether he should become a professional like Marui and Yukimura or continue on his path as an actor in his previous life.

To be honest, although he likes tennis, Niou Masaharu feels a little annoyed by the boring training as a professional player.

For someone like Niou with an erratic personality, the fact that he was able to stick with tennis until he graduated from high school has already broken his family's stereotype of him.

After all, this person is the one who talks the most about sweat and the sun, and sometimes Sister Niou even suspects that her brother is a vampire.

But that was just her thought. If she knew what she was thinking, even she would be punished by her younger brother, Niou Masaharu.

Recently, Niou's elder sister felt that her younger brother was troubled by something. When she saw the light coming from Niou Masaharu's room late at night, she couldn't help but knock on his door gently.

"Maji, can you come in?"

Sister Niou's voice was very soft, but in the quiet night, Niou Masaharu, who had excellent hearing, still heard it.

Niou opened the door, and warm light shone from behind Niou Masaharu. Niou's sister looked at her brother, whose height had reached over 180 cm, with a dazed expression.

It turns out that Masaharu has grown so tall. As a family member, I seem to have missed his growth.

Sister Niou walked into Niou Masaharu's room with some apology.

Niou Masaharu's room is very tidy. Even though he has a lot of things, they are all kept very tidy by Niou Masaharu himself.

"what happened?"

Niou Masaharu sat on his bed and gave the only chair in the room to his sister. Although they were siblings, he was already adults and was still very careful about the distance he kept from his sister.

Sister Renou, who was taken care of by such gentlemanly behavior, was even more confused. How should she put it? Was it because she saw that he was in a bad mood that she wanted to show concern for him?

Even though he was still very immature when he first entered junior high school.

Seeing that his elder sister seemed a little hesitant, Niou Masaharu rolled his eyes and realized that it was probably because her recent irritability was too obvious and was discovered.

"Nothing, but sister, you have graduated from college, right? Are you still dating that guy?"

When Niou Masaharu accidentally returned home, he ran into his sister and a handsome boy kissing on a street corner not far from home. After being discovered by his sister, Niou Masaharu expressed his habit of speaking in an ambiguous way.

But he did not tell his parents about that. As long as he could protect himself, it didn't matter how many times his sister fell in love.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Niou's eyes, but then she remembered that she was already a college student and said confidently, "No, if everything goes well, I should be ready to bring it back home in a few years."

Hmm? You mean you haven't passed the probation period yet? You've been dating for four years, right?

But it’s better this way. Girls should be more cautious.

"By the way, how are you and that senior doing?"

Since her younger brother was concerned about her love life, Sister Niou reciprocated by showing some concern for her younger brother's partner.

However, unlike the way she was caught kissing by her brother, Nio's elder sister realized something was wrong when she heard Nio Masaharu addressing Shuji Tanejima in a friendly and affectionate manner when they were on the phone.

Her younger brother seemed to have a girlfriend, but Niou's sister, who had never seen Niou Masaharu's girlfriend, suddenly realized it after watching the U17 World Championship.

So Masaharu's partner is a homosexual like him? They look like a good match because they both have white hair?

This was the first thing that came to Niou's mind, and then she realized that she was not surprised at all about the gender of her brother's partner.

I always feel that my younger brother could date any kind of person, because he is a little fox who is good at hiding his emotions.

Niou Masaharu didn't even raise his eyelids, "We're still talking about it, but I don't know how to tell my parents."

His tone began to sound annoyed. How should he tell his parents that his son had fallen in love with someone of the same sex?

"Well... Mom and Dad have actually already found out and are just waiting for you to admit it."

Niou's sister felt guilty and didn't dare to look at her younger brother. One time when the family was watching a game, Niou's sister blurted out "They are worthy of being a couple", thus exposing her younger brother's love affair.

At that time, Niou's sister still remembers the frozen expressions on Niou's parents' faces.

Hmm, with this wavering expression, it seems clear who exposed his relationship.

However, after knowing that the relationship he was worried about was exposed, the anxiety that Niou Masaharu felt about his future choices miraculously disappeared.

Renou thought that his parents might object, but he was not afraid to expose his relationship.

So Niou Masaharu talked to his sister for a while and after he roughly understood his parents' attitude, he kicked them out of the room.

"Go to bed quickly. Girls should avoid staying up late."

After sending his sister out of the room, Niou Masaharu sent a message to Tanejima Shuji to tell him that their relationship was known to Niou's family.

Then within two seconds, Shuji Tanejima called.

"Are you ok?"

Through the phone, Shuji Tanejima's deep voice was a little distorted, but Masaharu Niou heard a tone of comfort in it.

"It's okay, I'm not as fragile as you think, Tanejima-senpai!"

Niou Masaharu drawled out his words, sounding like he was acting like a spoiled child.

When Shuji Tanejima on the other end of the phone heard the familiar name, he realized that the other party was still in a relatively calm mood.

"So, can I come visit your family?"

Although it was a bit sudden, knowing that the Niou family already knew about their relationship, Shuji Tanejima wanted to get the official status as soon as possible.

An identity recognized by both families.

Yes, Tanejima had already taken care of his family, but he had never told Niou Masaharu about it. He didn't want Niou to bear too much burden. This is what an elder should do.

Shuji Tanejima sounded like he was just saying it casually, but Masaharu Niou, who was familiar with him, heard other meanings.

It seems that Marui and Sanada's engagement still stimulated this man.

Niou Masaharu thought for nearly ten seconds and said, "I will reply to you tomorrow after I talk to my family."

He felt that there was a high probability that he would always be with Shuji Tanejima in his life, so he did not reject Shuji Tanejima at the first opportunity.

"Good night then, my little fox."

Shuji Tanejima lowered his voice and whispered good night to Masaharu Niou.

In fact, what he wanted to say just now was to wait for good news from Ren Wang tomorrow, but he was afraid of putting too much pressure on his lover.

Shuji Tanejima thought that no matter how Niou talked with his family tomorrow, he should find an opportunity to have a good talk with his little lover's family.

After all, he kidnapped someone's precious son.

Niou Masaharu, who had already hung up the phone, had no way of knowing what Taneshima was thinking.

Niou Masaharu slept well that night. Without any worries to disturb him, he slept until nine o'clock the next day.

On the weekend, Niou's father, who was not working, had no chance to express his longing for his second son who often played games away from home when he was shocked by the explosive news he heard.

"What did you say? I don't agree!"

Niou's father was drinking water, and when he heard what Niou Masaharu said, he immediately spit out a mouthful of water.

If his son had not made it clear, Renwang's father could still feel at ease and pretend that he didn't know that his son had found a male partner.

However, Niou Masaharu did not give him any time to buffer his anger. He directly told him and Tanejima Shuji their plans for the future and their old age.

Now both of Ren Wang's parents knew his determination.

Niou's parents were silent for a while. Before Niou's father said something hurtful in anger, Niou's mother spoke first.

"Wait until we meet the kid, okay?"

Inou's mother grabbed Inou's father who was about to get up and leave. The child was so seriously talking about his and his partner's plans for the future, and it would be too hurtful for them to express their opposition.

After his rage, Renwang's father finally sat back in his seat when he saw his second son's rare serious expression.

"Like your mother said, let's talk about it after we meet him."

Niou's father took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and said to Niou Masaharu.

This was the compromise his parents made with him, and Niou Masaharu felt a sudden lump in his throat.

Since they had agreed to meet Niou Masaharu's partner, Niou's parents did not delay and directly told Niou Masaharu that they could meet tomorrow. "I don't like the feeling of dragging it out. I really want to see who has bewitched our Masaharu as soon as possible."

Niou's mother made a joke, easing the solemn feeling brought about by Niou's father's angry roar.

"Prui, you've obviously seen him on TV!"

Niou Masaharu did not deliberately go against his mother and not answer. He was not a naive child. Having been reborn once, he knew that relationships needed to be maintained.

"Yeah, he's a handsome-looking kid. Is he nice to you?"

Niou Masaharu looked at his mother's gentle eyes and nodded. He was not lying, but he was really well taken care of by Shuji Tanejima.

Even though he was working a modeling job that required him to work day and night, Taneshima's concern for Nioh remained the same over the years.

Upon hearing this, Niou's mother's eyes softened a little, and her opinion of Tanejima Shuji increased by one point.

Renwang's father was silent and angry, but he pricked up his ears to listen when Renwang's mother asked questions.

Seeing this, Niou Masaji realized that his father had calmed down, so he talked more about his daily interactions with Tanejima.

Then the Niou family came to a general conclusion that Niou Masaharu's partner was too fond of him!

This conclusion was confirmed the next day, when Shuji Tanejima, who came with a bunch of gifts, put on a decent suit. Most of the gifts were things that Masaharu Niou liked.

Although he was talking to them, his attention was always on Niou Masaharu. This does not mean that Shuji Tanejima was impolite, but that he could always discover Niou's needs first.

Looking at her brother's handsome and considerate boyfriend, Sister Niou thinks that she should extend the probation period for her boyfriend a little longer!

In short, when they first met, Niou Masaharu's family had a good impression of Tanejima Shuji.

After meeting a few more times, the Niou family felt that something was not right when they looked at Shuji Tanejima.

Why do I feel like my son/brother’s partner is a love-brained person?

Faced with Shuji Tanejima who always responded to Masaharu Niou's requests, they could no longer say anything that would make them break up with Masaharu Niou.

After finally getting the approval of Niou's family, Shuji Tanejima couldn't wait to arrange a meeting between the two families to discuss the engagement.

If they were not engaged, they would definitely get married sooner than Marui, right? With this plan in mind, Tanejima Shuji brought up the topic of marriage shortly after the parents of both parties started talking.

It's hard to describe the expressions on the faces of the Niou family and the Taneda family as they looked at Taneda Shuji, who was so eager to get married.

Doesn’t this person know that this is the first time they met? How can they talk about marriage before they know each other well?

In short, Shuji Tanejima finally achieved his goal and got married before Marui and Sanada when Masaharu Niou just turned 18.

Shuji Taneshima, who finally surpassed his two younger classmates, was quite proud for quite a while, which made Byodoin, Tokugawa and others dislike him.

So a few people decided to drag Taneshima to the court and give him a good beating, and only then did Taneshima Shuji stop his show-off behavior.
