Amethyst Fascination

When he received the news that the boy had lost the election, Yukimura was leaning against the eaves of Echizen's house, holding the obese Himalayan cat in his arms.

Sighing slightly, with a regretful smile on the corner of his lips, he said to Sanada on the phone: "I see." He wasn't surprised at all, as if such a result had been expected long ago.

Such a calm and indifferent voice made Sanada frown tightly.When he heard the result of the selection, he was very confused, worried that the very proud child would not be able to bear such a result.I called Yukimura, hoping that Yukimura could comfort the child, but I didn't expect that the other party would react in such an unsurprising manner.

Biting his lips, Sanada watched the little figure disappear from sight with everyone in Qingxue, and asked in a low voice, "Are you still in the hospital? I'm coming to see you now."

"I've been discharged from the hospital, and I'm staying at a friend's house. I'll go back to school to see you some other day." Yukimura declined calmly, smiling at the cat in his arms, and gently slid his slender fingers across the smooth fur.

Wanting to say goodbye, but unable to let go of that worrying little boy, Sanada was silent for a moment, then continued: "Yukimura, in the last few days of training, we have been hearing that students from other schools' tennis clubs were raped by a foreign The news of his defeat. That person played very violently, and everyone who fought against him was injured, including Akutsu before. And that person has been looking for Echizen."

His fingers froze slightly, and his smiling eyes suddenly turned cold. Yukimura asked, "Why are you looking for him?"

"I'm not very clear. I just heard that the man's father was beaten by Echizen's father when he was young and was forced to quit professional tennis. He must have come to seek revenge." The more he said, the more his thick black eyebrows frowned. Sanada felt flustered. "I'm worried that Echizen will find that person by himself."

"By the way, Yukimura, Echizen's father is the famous former tennis samurai, Echizen Minamijiro, do you know?"

Of course I know.I have lived in Echizen's house for so many days, and I have fought against Echizen's father a few times, but I know that this matter was also brought up by Nanako inadvertently.This family has always been so low-key, not at all like the child's proud and flying character.

However, according to the character of the child, he should go to the foreigner, he is sure.

Gently placing the cat sleeping in his arms on the ground, Yukimura got up, "Let's do this first, I still have something to do, see you another day."

Ignoring what Sanada was still talking on the other end of the phone, he hung up the phone, Yukimura squinted at the proudly smiling face on the screen, and sighed softly: "You child, you are always worrying .”

"Hey, Yukimura-kun, are you going out?" Seeing Yukimura picking up his coat, Nanako, who was busy, stopped and asked with concern.

With a gentle smile back, Yukimura nodded: "Well, let's walk around for a while."

"Then you have to come back early. Ryoma will be back today. I made grilled fish that you all like."

"Okay, I'll be back as soon as possible." Said Yukimura politely, when Yukimura walked out of Echizen's house, there was no smile on his face.Picking up the mobile phone and dialing the boy's number, it was no surprise that no one answered.Frowning slightly, he thought for a moment before walking towards the training base.

After walking aimlessly for a long time, Yukimura saw the familiar little boy in the early-lit lanterns at night.The brim of the white hat was pulled down very low, and the expression on his face could not be seen. A boy also in Qingxue uniform was comforting something beside him, and there was an unconcealable anxiety on his honest and honest face.

Quickly walking up to meet him, standing in front of the boy, Yukimura bent slightly and called softly, "Echizen."

The little child still lowered his head and didn't make a sound. On the contrary, Kawamura beside him opened his eyes wide after seeing Yukimura, and stammered, "Kamura-kun?"

Nodding in greeting, he stretched out his hand to raise the brim of the boy's hat, and his purple eyes sank slightly after seeing the obvious finger marks on his fair face. "What's the matter?" It was the boy who asked, but his eyes turned to the boy beside him, flashing a cold light.

"Uh, Echizen insisted on competing with Kebin just now, but Tezuka's persuasion for a long time was ineffective, so... so..." Looking at those cold amethyst eyes, Yukimura's aura of calm and prestige made Kawamura involuntarily Taking a step back, he explained incoherently.

Although Yukimura's expression was still gentle, Kawamura was sure that the head of Rikkai University was angry.

"It has nothing to do with the minister, I accidentally hurt it." In the dull and awkward atmosphere, the boy who had been silent with his head down suddenly raised his head and bowed slightly to Kawamura: "Senior Kawamura, you can just send it here. Thank you You." After speaking, he didn't even look at Yukimura, and walked forward at a faster pace.

"At Lihai University, even if I get angry again, I won't beat my players." His eyes stayed on Kawamura's face for a moment, and Xingmura's voice was flat, and he didn't hide his accusations.

"But, Tezuka is also in a hurry..." Watching the slender figure who turned and left, Kawamura anxiously distinguished, but found that the other party didn't listen to his explanation at all, and lowered his head a little annoyed.But he couldn't figure out why the Minister Lihai cared so much about this.

Bought a can of Fanta from a vending machine on the street, Yukimura quickly caught up with the boy, and gently pressed the cold can to his swollen cheek.Looking at the amber cat eyes that suddenly raised up and couldn't hide his shame, he said lightly: "If the swelling doesn't go away, are you going to go back to accept inquiries from Uncle Nanjiro and Mama Rinko?"

Lowering his head, letting the cold touch slowly roll on his cheeks, the young man muttered for a while, and said in a low voice, "I was not selected."

The amethyst-like phoenix eyes slightly curved, Yukimura nodded: "I know."

"Senior Sanada said it?" Looking up at the still clear purple eyes in the night, the boy frowned dissatisfiedly, and whispered: "What a talkative middle-aged man!"

After hearing the boy's words, Yukimura was slightly stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing out loud.I really want to see Sanada's expression after hearing such an evaluation.In the young man's slightly annoyed eyes, he shook his head and said with a smile: "No, I guessed it before Sanada told me."

Biting his lip, his amber cat eyes flickered with doubts, and he asked puzzledly, "Why?"

"Did you forget? I reminded you the other day, don't think you're definitely selected." Standing up straight, Yukimura crossed his hands, his purple eyes shone with a slightly cold light, and his whole body radiated a cold majesty. "Although I don't know what you did during the training, you can think about it yourself. Have you taken the training to heart?"

Frowning his delicate eyebrows tightly, the boy stared at Yukimura relentlessly, even his breathing became rough.But he couldn't refute it, because what this person said was the truth.During this training, all he could think about was how to defeat the one who had never been defeated.

"A person who has exhausted his fighting spirit in the Kanto competition has no qualifications to be selected. You should think about it carefully." Having said all that should be said, Yukimura straightened his lips, letting the boy stare at him like an enemy.After a long, long time, seeing those golden cat eyes dimming little by little, he sighed softly: "Go back."
