Tsuka Fuji Ten Years After The Prince of Tennis

"What's the matter, Mr. Fuji?" The assistant turned his head and saw that Mr. Fuji, who was sitting in the back seat, was looking nostalgicly at a sushi restaurant beside the street.

"Yami, please send my luggage to the hotel with Hattori-san first, I want to visit a place." Mr. Fuji suddenly said,

"Hey, now?" The assistant opened his eyes wide in surprise,

"Well, there is a place that must be visited now. Mr. Hattori, please pull over here." Mr. Fuji said to the driver.

"Ah, yes, sir." The driver stopped the car in a hurry, got out of the car and opened the door for Mr. Fuji.

Mr. Fuji, who was dressed in a black linen suit, bowed slightly to thank him, and said with a smile: "Then I will trouble Masami and Mr. Hattori for everything in the hotel! I may not be able to go back tonight, so you two can go back after packing your luggage." Go back on your own, just come and pick me up early the day after tomorrow to the venue."

"Yes, Mr. Fuji. Then we will go back first. If you have anything to do, please contact us at any time." Masami and Hattori replied with a bow at the same time.

Mr. Fuji walked through the long-lost street, and stopped in front of a shop that said "Kawamura Sushi Restaurant" on the sign.The words on the sign have become a little old after years of wind and rain, but they are more precious and lovely to Mr. Fuji who has not seen him for many years.

I stretched out my hand and opened the door. Since it was a working day, there were very few customers in the store, only a few occasional customers sitting and eating in scattered places.

Standing behind the cooking counter was a young man wearing a white tall hat, his hands were constantly busy.

Still with that loyal and down-to-earth appearance, Mr. Fuji smiled slightly.

Back then, Aaron, who transformed into a different person as soon as he held the racket, has finally become an adult.

"Welcome! Sir, who are you..." The young man with his head down heard the wind chime at the door, stopped his movements, raised his head and greeted. "Hey... Buer... It's Buer, my God, when did you come back? We haven't seen each other for many years, let me see." After seeing the appearance of the person in front of him, the young man moved excitedly. Flipping out from behind the cooking table, he hugged Budu who was looking at him with a smile.

Takashi Kawamura hugged his young partner tightly, and took his hand again and walked towards the long table in front of the cooking counter.While walking, he laughed loudly and said, "How about it, is this time for a short-term stay or not going any longer."

Fuji paused slightly, and looked at Takashi Kawamura with apologetic eyes.

Takashi Kawamura immediately stopped talking, touched the back of his head and smiled, "Look at me, what kind of question is this asking. Come on, I finally came here, I must have a good meal today. Wasabi sushi, right?"

"Yeah. Yes, Aaron, by the way, give me another spicy ramen. It's been a long time since I've tasted your handicraft, and I really miss it!" Fuji said with a smile,

"Okay, no problem. Just sit and wait for a while, and it will be ready soon." Takashi Kawamura said straightforwardly,

Fuji sat down on the stool in front of the long table, and Kawamura handed him a glass of warm water, and began to work swiftly, while smiling, "It's great, Fuji. I can see you again. I thought we'd be together forever We can't even meet each other."

"How come, Tokyo is my hometown, no matter what, I will come back and have a look." Fuji said with a smile,

The movement of Kawamura's hands stopped slightly, and after a while, he started to move again.With his head still lowered, he said in a difficult voice: "But Bu Er, since that summer passed, you haven't been back for ten years!"

Buer was startled, and unconsciously tightened his hand holding the cup.

The store has just returned to calm due to the noise and excitement caused by the store manager. Fuer exhaled lightly, and gently put the cup on the table. For a while, the two of them were a little speechless.

"Wow, Kawamura-senpai, it's really rare. Just look at who I met." Just when the two of them were quiet, the wind chime at the door rang, and a cheerful voice came in.

This voice is A Tao?

Bu Er turned his head away, and two people at the door knocked and walked in with their arms around their shoulders.

The one who spoke had short to medium curly blue hair, and his face was full of excitement.The other one has flaxen hair and a little bit of displeasure on his face.

The blue-haired one hugged the flaxen-haired one next to him, and said inwardly, "Senior Kawamura, is this Viper still a little shy? He still doesn't believe that he looks good in this suit, haha... Ha, the second senior?"

The young man, who was gloating and talking to Hecun at the bar with his companions, suddenly stretched out his fingers tremblingly as if someone had grabbed his throat, and said in shock, "Is this Senior Fuji? Viper, hurry up, hurry up!" have a look."

The flaxen-haired one was also shocked when he saw Fuji, but he glanced at Kawamura who was smiling slightly, and immediately bent down and said respectfully: "Senior Fuji, long time no see!"

Buer stood up, walked in front of them, patted the shoulders of those two, smiled and said: "Long time no see, Ah Tao and Haitang."

Finally recovering from the shock, Takeshi Momoshiro hugged Fuji's shoulders, and shouted excitedly: "Wow, you are really Fuji-senior, my God, you came back from France." Bu Er, who was almost out of breath when he let go of the strangled one, opened his fingers and opened his eyes and counted excitedly: "Wow, in this way, I, Viper, Senior Aaron, Senior Oishi, Senior Eiji, Gan Senpai, and Minister Tezuka who is about to come back, plus you, Fuji-san. The only difference between us is Echizen? How about it, Fuji-senpai, let’s have a party for the main election of the Youth Academy Tennis Club.”

Fuji nodded with a smile, and replied, "Okay, I have no objection."

"Then it's settled. I'll contact a few seniors right away. Yoshi, I should also call Echizen after this. That kid is doing well in the United States now. This time, I'll have to take care of him." He got it back and had a good meal."

Takeshi Momoshiro was still the character who would immediately do whatever came to his mind. As soon as he finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone and walked out of the shop to start calling one by one to ask questions.

Takashi Kawamura looked over there and smiled, and Fuji laughed and said, "A Tao's personality really hasn't changed at all! No matter what time it is, she always looks like this excited and full of energy." After finishing speaking, he smiled slightly , greeted Haitang and said: "Haitang, come and sit together, A Tao will take a while to finish her work."

"Yes, senior."

"Did Senior Fuji just return to China?" Haitang asked after sitting down,

"Well, I just got off the plane. When I passed Aaron's store in the car, I suddenly thought I had to come and have a look, so I came in. I didn't expect Aaron to be the store manager." Fuji said with a smile, "By the way, look Are you and A Tao already working like this? I'm really not used to it, seeing you guys dressed so formally."

Haitang blushed slightly, turned his head to Hao Ran with some unease, and said, "Well, it's an intern assistant for a civil engineering engineer."

Seeing Haitang like this, Bu Er couldn't help laughing and said: "Haitang is still so shy even after he has joined the work."

"The best senior!"

"Yes, yes, I won't make fun of you. By the way, where is A Tao? Judging by his attire, he should also be an office professional." Buer glanced at Taocheng, who was dancing and talking on the phone outside, and asked Haitang very naturally,

Haitang followed Buer's gaze and looked at Taocheng, "Yes, Taocheng has now joined an advertising company as a sales representative."

"Ah, sales representative, it really fits A Tao's temper." Fuji said with a smile.

"Well, I heard that he performed very well in the company, and was appreciated by the section chief who supervised him." Haitang couldn't help but also smiled when he said this, and immediately put his smile back uncomfortably.

Takashi Kawamura put the finished plate of wasabi sushi on the table and smiled at Fuji, "Try it first, to fill your stomach. You must not have eaten much after getting off the plane. Don't be too hungry, you will eat it later." No more."

"Well, then I'm not welcome." Buer nodded, picked up the chopsticks and put one in his mouth, squinted his eyes and finished eating slowly, opened his eyes wide and smiled: "The taste is better than before, as expected It's Aaron, he has become a respectable sushi chef." Then he turned his head and pushed the plate in front of Haitang, "It's delicious, Haitang wants to try it too."

Haitang refused with a black line on his face: "No need, thank you Senior Fuji."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I'll eat one."

"I don't mind, A Tao, please eat as you like." Fuji narrowed his eyes, smiled and pushed the sushi plate in front of him to Takeshi Momoshiro and said,

"Ah, Senior Fuji is still so gentle and considerate. Then I won't be polite, thank you for letting me go!" Said Takeshi Momoshiro picked up chopsticks from Fuji's plate, put one into his mouth and bit down.

"A Tao..." Takashi Kawamura stretched out his hand behind the cooking table to stop him, but Takeshi Momoshiro jumped up from the wasabi choking, crying loudly, "Senior Fuji, you really haven't changed at all." ah."

Kaitang snorted coldly, poured a glass of warm water from the table and handed it to Takeshi Momoshiro, "Idiot, I just ate it casually without knowing what it tastes like."

Takeshi Momoshiro took Kaitang's water and drank it in one gulp, only then did he feel better.After taking a few breaths, he pulled the chair aside and sat down, not caring about Haitang's complaints.There was still smoke coming out of his throat, and he had just finished talking on the phone, so he really couldn't draw his strength.

Takashi Kawamura glanced at Fuji who was smiling beside him, and said helplessly, "Fuji, you are really, you know that Ah Tao can't eat wasabi."

Bu Er raised his eyebrows, "I'm really sorry, A Tao. It's been too long, and I have forgotten your habits."

A Tao lay on the table and waved her hands weakly, "It's okay, Senior Fuji." But she secretly complained in her heart: "Forgot? Senior Fuji probably did this because he remembered too clearly." But Tao Cheng Wu only dared to say it secretly in his heart. As for the reason why he didn't dare to say it publicly, it was naturally because he suddenly remembered that during the two years in the Qing Xue Tennis Club, he was cheated countless times by the seemingly gentle and harmless senior student. To the memory of blood and tears that can't get up.

"Senior Bu Er, you are not afraid of doing what the senior does, why do you run so desperately?"

"Well, I'm not afraid, and I think it tastes good. But, compared to this, I want to see everyone's expressions when they drink dry juice!"

……

Although it has been many years, Takeshi Momoshiro recalled this meeting, and it is still vivid in his memory.

Takashi Kawamura probably recalled his previous memories, and he couldn't help but change the topic: "Ah, yes. A Tao, you just went to call everyone, what did you say?"

"No problem, it's settled. Everyone is very happy to hear that Fuji-san has come back. Yinger-senpai is still complaining on the phone: It's fine that Fuji-senpai disappeared suddenly back then, and now he's not the first to talk to him when he comes back. Contact. Senior Dashi said that he is currently operating on patients in other provinces, and he is expected to be back at noon tomorrow. Senior Gan said that he will rush over as soon as he finishes today's research data. As for Echizen, he may not answer the phone due to time difference, but I have already left him a message. In short, everyone except Echizen can arrive in Tokyo tomorrow. However, the minister may not be able to come back tomorrow afternoon. According to the organizer, the minister has a flight tomorrow night!"

Takeshi Momoshiro finished everyone's responses one by one, and suddenly slapped the table with a smile: "Speaking of which, Senior Fuji came back at just the right time. It just so happened that the minister came back to participate in the school celebration of Qinggaku. In recent years, the minister has followed Echizen. Germany is in the United States, and they are carrying our tennis dreams and have been working hard. Last year, Echizen almost won the U.S. Open championship, but it was a pity that he lost to a player from the same club as him in the end. , is really regrettable."

When Fuji mentioned Tezuka in Taocheng, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.When he heard that Taocheng regretted Echizen's defeat, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Echizen is becoming more and more general, and he must be the champion of the next US Open. It doesn't matter if you fail once or twice. , but to accumulate experience for the next success.”

Takeshi Momoshiro rubbed the back of his head, and said with a chuckle: "Senior Fuji is right, that guy from Echizen said the same thing. When I comforted him with kindness, he told me not to meddle in my own business, so he was not in the mood not good."

When everyone heard Taocheng describe Echizen's reaction, they couldn't help but smiled understandingly.

"However, it's really a pity for Senior Fuji, who is known as a 'genius' tennis player. He shined so brightly in the W-U17 tournament that year that it attracted the attention of the world. Suddenly disappeared. At that time, everyone was still very worried, and even the minister who had already returned to Germany flew back to look for you for a long time with everyone." Takeshi Momoshiro regained his composure and remembered that Fuji suddenly disappeared for no reason. , said with great regret,

Takashi Kawamura also interjected at the cooking counter: "Yes, if Yuta hadn't come to tell us that you went to study in France, we would have almost called the police. Everyone was really sad at that time, Fuji!"

Fuji lowered his eyes and held the cup in his hand, "I'm sorry, everyone. I'm really sorry for causing so much trouble to everyone because of my willfulness." Fuji still didn't explain why he left suddenly back then, but he The low tone convinced everyone present.Something so important must have happened back then that Fuji had to leave Japan for France.After all, the best senior has always been a gentle and considerate existence.

Seeing that Fuji was depressed, Takeshi Momoshiro slapped his head and smiled, "Oh, it's all over. It's good that Fuji-senpai is back now, and everyone didn't blame you. That boy Echizen, I remember when Yuta came to convey After your whereabouts, you also had a special conversation with Yu Tai, and then chatted with the minister for a while. I didn’t tell us the specifics of the chat. It’s just a very inexplicable summary. It’s all because of someone It is the reticence that led to everything now. But when we all asked who it was, the boy Echizen refused to say anything. What else, if the person involved does not understand, it is useless for others to say more .”

Fuji was slightly taken aback, did Tezuka make a special trip back for him back then?

Although Takashi Kawamura has a clumsy mind, he has always been very transparent about the changes in Fuji's emotions.Seeing Fuji with a dazed face, he nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, that was the first time I saw Tezuka lose his composure. He searched almost all the places you had been to by himself. They have all moved away, if Yuta hadn’t come over later, it’s hard to imagine what Tezuka would have become.”

Haitang also nodded beside him and said: "Yes, speaking of it, it was the first time I saw the minister like this."

Takeshi Momoshiro recalled the scene at that time, and said with great emotion: "Even when I lost against Senpai and Sanada, I have never seen him so lost, especially after chatting with Echizen. But Fuji-senpai, Haven’t you been in touch with Tezuka-san these years? One of you has become a famous pianist in France, and the other has become a world-renowned tennis player in Germany. You should have been in the same city for more than ten years. Chance."

Bu Er shook his head, it was the first time that this genius prince showed a fragile daze in front of everyone.

"No way, you have all toured around the world to compete and perform, so you might have a chance to meet them." Takeshi Momoshiro asked in disbelief.

no chance?Of course not.It's just that every time I heard that Tezuka would appear in a certain city, I chose to avoid it silently.

There is no way to convince myself to face that person again, all the courage and persistence have been consumed in that summer.

Your gaze has always been looking at a farther place.As for the people and things you encounter during this process, there may be no difference in your mind.Although both are valued, there is no unique distinction.

After I figured out that your tolerance for me all the time might just be your habitual accommodating, I suddenly remembered what you said when you first chose to leave Qingxue.

At that time, I was full of apprehension, but I still kept my calmness in front of you as before.

"Tezuka, Germany is far away." So far away that I might lose you if I'm not careful.

"Don't worry, even if I'm not here. Qingxue, Dashi, and everyone."

I didn't go on that topic after that, I understand better than anyone that once you make a decision, it never changes.

Just like what you said to your bole and your beacon that summer.

"In order to go to the road to win the championship, it is inevitable to make countless sacrifices in the middle, but I think it is all worth it."

The firmness in your tone and the determination without hesitation at that moment made me understand in an instant, what has always been the most important thing in your mind.

So, Tezuka, I will send you to leave, and let me leave by myself.
