Iris Wisdom Teeth

It is full of loopholes, and those who believe it will have holes in their heads.

Rinko blinked, and Nanjiro rolled his eyes directly, but Echizen would rather tell such a stupid lie in a perfunctory manner, and if he really didn't want to say it, then they wouldn't force him to ask.

The U.S. Open preliminaries are about to start, and it has been empty for several days. It wasn't until Sato's agent came to the door that Echizen didn't think of it, and hurried to sign up.

When the manager saw him, he cried out all kinds of innocent grievances.

"Little ancestor, please be merciful, don't go missing again!"

Echizen raised his eyebrows, ignoring the other party's misery, and said coldly, "How do you know I live here?"

He has never disclosed his own information to the other party, but this guy can be found from England, which is very strange no matter how you think about it.

"Huh? It was provided to me by Mr. F..." The manager didn't understand, so he answered directly, not noticing the change in Echizen's expression for a moment, and continued: "Because you disappeared suddenly, I don't know where to find you, It happened that Mr. F called me and told me your residence in the United States, and told me to come quickly. He was very worried about you, and he was afraid that something might happen to you.”

After silently listening to the whole incident, Echizen was silent for a while, and finally asked in a low voice: "Then... didn't he follow?"

The voice was too low, the manager couldn't hear clearly, and asked blankly, "What?"

"...It's nothing." I don't want to talk about this topic any more, Echizen turned his head: "I'm going back, don't bother me if there is nothing important."

The agent felt a little baffled, and felt that the little prince seemed to avoid the topic of Mr. F on purpose. Did he think too much?But if you open your mouth to ask about this matter, I'm afraid it will step on the thunder, so it's better to keep your mouth shut.

After the preliminaries schedule came down, the Echizen match was scheduled to start the day after tomorrow.

During the period from the registration to the confirmation, the agent was nervous all day long. According to him, he was too nervous. Echizen really didn't understand why this bystander was so nervous, and even gave him a contemptuous look.

But in fact... Of course Sato would not tell Echizen that he was exhausted because he was asked to take care of this proud little ancestor.

──『That child has always been very good, and now he is going to become a world champion. He has reached the point where he cannot be ignored by the public. I am afraid that he will become more and more famous in the future. He will come in and out like a big star. Let fans chase after him... ...the kid clearly doesn't understand his own charms at all. 』

──『It’s okay to be chased down by reporters now, maybe there will be extremists in the future, it’s too dangerous...』

On the phone, the other party's tone was full of deep worry, and Sato could deeply feel the emotion of concern even through the microphone.

He agreed in one breath, promising to pay attention to Echizen's safety at all times, which also caused his spirit to be tense every day.

In contrast, Echizen himself, who knew nothing, seemed very calm.

Even though he is about to participate in the US Open, he is still calm and unhurried. After all, it is not the first time for him to participate in such a large-scale competition, and it is only the preliminaries, so it is not nervous at this level.

It's just that the manager is always by his side, which makes him feel very annoyed.

But today, he wanted to go out to practice, but his agent called repeatedly, asking him to wait for him to pick him up. He used all kinds of soft-hearted pleas in his words, but Echizen didn't appreciate it at all.

It's just that the more I listened, the more irritable I became, so I hung up the phone and went out alone.

When I came to the outdoor court, no one else was using it, so I practiced against the wall for a while, until my mouth was a little dry, and I stopped to rest for a while.

In the United States, vending machines can be seen almost everywhere, and it is not difficult to find them at all. You will soon find a drink vending machine nearby.

In front of the vending machine, I was used to looking for Fanta, but I realized that this is the United States, and that kind of Fanta is unique to Japan.

No way, look around, and finally cast a can of Coke.

After pressing OK, the Coke can fell out with a "clang". After bending over to take out the Coke, he didn't open it right away, but just stared at the aluminum can in his hand in a daze.

Such carbonated drinks reminded him of the time in England.

Of course, there is no grape-flavored Fanta in the UK, but he can still find a can every time he opens the refrigerator.

I can drink it, just because every time I go out, I will occasionally send a box, sometimes it means apologizing, and sometimes I just want to send it.

Echizen still doesn't know how to get out of this box.

That box of beverages was full of Fanta, and I was not drinking these things, but I would still buy a box and send it back...

"..." Echizen was silent for a while, then laughed at himself.

Why did he always leave the other party's figure in his mind?

Obviously don't want to think about the other party, but every bit of life seems to be invaded, nowhere is the other party...

Stop thinking about it.

Pulled the tab, drank the Coke in one gulp, quenched his thirst very coldly, and then—grinned his teeth in pain for an instant...

...What is this inexplicable sense of déjà vu all about! ?

"Wisdomteetharelong, outoftheway. (It's a wisdom tooth, it's okay.)"

The uncle dentist in front of him took the X-ray photos he had just taken and explained with a smile.

Just now, after taking a sip of Coca-Cola, there was a strong stabbing pain in his mouth. This kind of pain was so familiar that Echizen went directly to the dentist. After asking, it turned out that he had a wisdom tooth.

Another brand new wisdom tooth.

"Unplug. (Unplug.)" Echizen said decisively, without any hesitation.

"You cannot pull the tooth. (This tooth cannot be pulled out.)" Unexpectedly, the dentist told me directly that it was not possible.

The dentist showed Echizen the X-ray photo and explained in fluent American English: "This is just to tell you about other relative wisdom teeth before, tooth type has been completely fixed, and if the hard pull, but will affect the entire tooth type, but may cause loose. If it is pulled hard, it will affect the entire tooth shape, and it is more likely to cause loosening.)”

After silently listening to this series of explanations, the general conclusion is that this tooth cannot be moved.

"..." Echizen was silent.

The mood is very complicated.I have the urge to get angry, but I don't have the strength to be angry about this kind of thing anymore...

Misunderstanding the silence of the other party, the dentist said kindly: "But don't worry, although a start will be some irritation, but used to it. (But don't worry, although it will hurt a little at first, just get used to it.)"

This new wisdom tooth is finalized in this way, without any turning point.

Ever since, Echizen had another wisdom tooth that could not be pulled out, and he was forced to get along well with this tooth.

Before... Now that I think about it, it was about a year ago, and he also had such a wisdom tooth.

Now it's all over again.

I really don't know what to say about this situation. If I put it in the past, I would probably complain, but now I can't accept it completely.

A wisdom tooth was born a year ago, and it seems that since then, a lot of things have changed.

It was supposed to be a simple relationship between junior and senior, but it was completely messed up in this year.

He even sometimes began to think: If this tooth hadn't been born, maybe everything would not have changed, and he would not have found himself in love with the other party...

Now, before he has adjusted his mood, he was told that he had a new wisdom tooth...

Once, that person said that growing wisdom teeth is a symbol of falling in love...

Falling in love... Oh, it feels so ironic.

I no longer have any mood to continue playing, and decided to go home early.

After returning home, Echizen noticed that his father was reading those bad publications again at the first sight in the living room.

Smiling while watching, after so many years, he is still stubborn.

In the morning, no one cares about Rinko's absence, Nanako's cousin is in Hokkaido, and all the people who would confiscate his books are not there at the moment, and Nanjiro is even more lawless.

Ignoring him, Echizen walked to the corridor and sat down, picked up Carubin who followed him, and after smoothing his hair, he was alone in a daze.

Recently, he often starts to be in a daze like he is now. He obviously doesn't think about anything, but his thoughts always drift to the same person.

Is that person... still working?

At this moment, the phone rang suddenly, which made him a little scared, but he quickly calmed down, and then he was full of confusion.

Ever since he came to the United States, there have been calls every day, with varying numbers of calls and a bunch of text messages.

He has never answered the phone, as long as he knows it is the other party, he will not answer it.
