■

It hurts.

I can't keep my eyes open.

The sound was so vague that it seemed to come from a distant place, but to his surprise, he could clearly hear the rustling of leaves outside the window.As if the body was crushed by a heavy wheel, it was a pain that I had never experienced even when I doubled the training.

"boom."

"--it hurts."

Echizen Ryoma was so startled that he made a sitting position, bent forward, and sat up straight.

His vision turned from gray to white, and Karubin curled up in his arms with his paws outstretched.He rubbed his smashed head, his eyeballs swept across the dark blue room, and then wobbled before his eyes, with a dazed look and disbelief:

"How long are you going to lie down as a teenager? The sun is drying your butt, and you are going to be late for school."

There has never been a serious bad old man put his hands into his baggy clothes, he clenched his fists and explained for him as if suddenly enlightened: "Don't tell me you want to be cool and late with your pockets in your pockets and then fall from the sky like the protagonist, after all, the protagonist is It’s the last one to appear on the stage. It’s ok, brat, the second year is the same as your dad’s back then.”

"……what?"

Echizen Ryoma listened to Echizen Minamijiro chattering to himself, but couldn't help but froze for a while, staring at Echizen Nanjiro, who was ten years younger, in bewilderment with his amber cat eyes.

Carubin huddled in his arms and cried obediently.

The imprint of the violent impact still remained in his mind. He remembered that he received a call from Echizen Juna on the way home from the cemetery, and got into a car accident because he bent over to pick up his cell phone.

"School starts?"

"Hello."

Echizen Ryoma, who was obviously much more sluggish than yesterday, made Echizen Minamijiro help his forehead: "You don't know how to play basketball, are you stupid, brat, today is your first day of school."

Echizen Ryoma blinked.

stare.

He put Carubin down, lifted the quilt, and ran barefoot to the bathroom mirror, staring straight at the face inside.With dark green hair, amber eyes, and a still-short height, he gasped.

Echizen Ryoma stretched out his hand and tore off the skin of his face, which was so painful that his face was twisted into a ball.

- Not a dream.

...

Echizen Ryoma, who was walking on the Seigaku alley full of cherry blossoms with a tennis bag on his back, listened absent-mindedly to Horio chattering nonsense in his ear, and he still felt unreal since morning.

He seemed to have truly returned to the spring of the first year of his country.

The spring of the year when he first entered Qingxue.

The spring of the year when he started his national campaign.

——The spring when he had not met Atobe Hizuki.

There was a shadow in front of his eyes, and the young man looked down at him with a smile on his face: "You have to watch the road carefully, otherwise you will bump into other people."

Echizen Ryoma met his gaze directly, and a familiar aura swept over him.

The corners of his lips are slightly raised:

"You're blocking my way."

"senior."

……

That was the beginning of the Echizen Ryoma era.

·

Later, Echizen Ryoma fought and won repeatedly during those six years. It is said that in the tennis world, from the Echizen Nanjiro era to the Echizen Ryoma era, it has gone through 30 years.

But in fact, Echizen Ryoma didn’t really like those media who followed the wind and said in an exaggerated tone that the tennis world at that time was “the pinnacle of Echizen Ryoma’s era”. After all, that era was full of flowers. His teammates and opponents Lu Continued to enter the world's vision.

His ministers are Tezuka Kunimitsu, Kirihara Akaya of Likai Dai, and Toyama Kintaro of Shitenbaoji.

Pick out any one who is a pivotal figure in the professional tennis world.

It's a pity that the former minister who supported him to become the pillar of Seigaku retired a few years early due to injury, and that kid Kintaro Toyama participated in the competition based on his mood, playing tennis as he pleased, almost in a semi-retired state.Kirihara Chiya has fought and defeated repeatedly, but he retired two years earlier than him. He returned home hugging his wife and children, and became a happy family husband.

Seeking defeat alone, he finally understands Echizen Nanjiro's state of mind many years ago. Without an opponent, he cannot grow.Tennis, which cannot grow, is like a small stone falling into the bottleneck, suddenly feeling a little dull.

until he returned to the country.

met his opponent again.

those people.

"Still a long way to go."

Echizen Ryoma opened the grape-flavored Ponta can and took a sip.

Today is the second match of the national competition, the match between Qingxue and Bingdi.Even if he knows all the endings, he will still go all out.Although he has experienced ups and downs, he returned to the 13-year-old to compete with his opponents in junior high school, which seemed bullying.

Ice Emperor.

Echizen Ryoma squeezed the can in his hand tightly, looking dazed for a moment.

I don't know how that person is doing now.

he thinks.

13-year-old Hizuki Atobe.

The years he was not involved in.

Senior Taocheng shouted at the top of his voice, urging: "Hurry up, Yueqian, I'm missing you."

He adjusted the hat on his head, threw the empty soda can into the trash can casually, and took a few steps forward after responding, and then froze in his footsteps, froze in place.

It seemed to see a girl passing by in a flash, with a single ponytail, long purple-gray hair, and a slender and slender back. Even though she was buried in the rushing crowd, she still stood out.

He subconsciously raised his heels and walked over, but disappeared in a blink of an eye.

It's like a dream.

Sure enough, it was an illusion, that person should be in England at this time.

Echizen Ryoma looked down at the palm of his hand that fell into the sunlight. Yesterday's cloudy rainy day had cleared up. He curled up his fingertips, then clenched them into fists and squeezed them tightly.

"Hey, Echizen."

"coming."

He answered.

·

The match against Ice Emperor was won without any surprises, and Echizen Ryoma thought that they would also win the national championship as smoothly as in their previous life.

He didn't forget that Keigo Atobe always looked at him with the look of "ah, you cheated my baby sister, the little princess of our Atobe family", so he still took out the electric haircut from his pocket just right. A retaliatory prank is about to succeed with a smile on his face.

Until he clearly heard a familiar voice:

"The winner is the Ice Emperor—"

"The winner is Atobe—"

"ATOBE."

Everyone was attracted by that shout, including Echizen Ryoma.

He turned his head away stiffly and mechanically.

I don't know when the girl standing outside the court was holding the barbed wire, her ponytail sweeping her neck.She was wearing a knee-length pleated skirt that swayed with her movements.Almost the whole person was climbing on the net, the girl who was not tall but had a pair of fair and slender legs stepped on the edge, her little face was flushed.

The body reacts faster than the dulled mind.

The seniors of Qingxue secretly discussed in a low voice:

"Hey, who is that girl, Ice Emperor's cheerleader?"

"Sarah, I don't know."

"It turns out that the Ice Empress really has such fanatical fans."

"...the more forward."

The sound stopped abruptly.

Because they saw the junior who had never been emotionally enlightened seemed to be possessed, dropped the hair clipper and ran in front of the girl, and hugged her.

He heard his own violent heartbeat.

The fingers around her waist trembled.

The scent of maiden roses blends with the smell of sweat after exercise.

I finally saw you again.

You are in my arms.

Reality like never before.

Later, Echizen Ryoma thought that he and Atobe Hitsuki were disasters that they couldn't avoid no matter what.It's like two gurgling streams that flow into the same vast ocean with the same destination.

That's the beginning of the second story.

...Although that time.

His reunion.

Her first meeting.

Echizen Ryoma, a talented tennis boy with a huge support team in Qinggaku, was slapped by the little princess of the Atobe family who came back from England to watch his brother's game in the scorching summer of the first year of his junior high school, as a pervert/wolf who planned to do something wrong.

So even though Hitsuki Atobe was stalking her on the surface later, Keigo Atobe, who had remembered it for many years, still firmly believed that Echizen Ryoma's love for Hitsuki Atobe was a long-planned desire for sex.

...

In the evening, Echizen Ryoma's bright red slap print was seen from the beginning to the end by the gossip seniors with strange eyesight, and they gathered together to torture and extract a confession:

"Little one, hurry up and recruit truthfully, who is that girl?"

"Be frank and lenient and resist strict."

"I thought it was because Echizen didn't understand, but it turns out that I like girls like that."

Echizen Ryoma said shamelessly: "My future girlfriend."

The color of the palm print on that half of the face became more and more vivid.

"whispering sound."

"Who believes it?"

Not at all convincing.

But it is true. After that day, Echizen Ryoma never saw Atobe Himeki again. He wanted to ask Atobe Keigo, but he looked at him with a knife in his eyes. The Ice Emperor's people revealed the slightest rumor.

She probably returned to England.

Goodbye may be the winter when I was 16 years old.

After Echizen Ryoma was promoted to the second year of junior high school, he did not go to the United States like in his previous life, but stayed in Qinggaku.After all, so many years have passed without a sound, and what he likes most is the time when he was fighting for the championship with his seniors in Qingxue.

Even at that time, Senior had already entered the high school.

He is still the pillar of Qingxue, leading his favorite Qingxue to conquer the world.

Echizen Ryoma, who doesn't hear anything outside the window and only knows about tennis rackets, quietly followed Atobe Hitsuki's Twitter account, watching her take pictures of the busy British streets, the dazzling array of food, and the bright and bright smile of the girl in Jiugongge.And that was the past that he had never participated in in his two lifetimes.

He originally thought that he would reappear in front of her when he was qualified enough to sign a contract with the professional network, and when he was confident enough to promise her a bright future.

tell her:

"Sooner or later, you will have my surname Echizen."

But he couldn't sit still.

Atobe Himezuki's Twitter account was updated day by day, and Echizen Ryoma watched her fall in love again and again in the past two years, and all kinds of boyfriends appeared in her photos, sticking together intimately.

And she didn't return to Japan until she was 16 years old.

They will meet.

He can't find her.

He couldn't help thinking, what if she didn't fall in love with him like she did in her previous life.

In case she likes someone else.

Start feeling for others.

What does he do.

then.

In the spring of his third year in junior high school, he saw Atobe Hizuki again.

Echizen Ryoma, who had planned for a long time, decided to boil the frog in warm water.

So the boy with a pile of tennis racket tape at home stepped back and forth into the tennis shop, and finally waited for the sentence that he had missed for a long time:

"Hi, can I trouble you to do me a little favor?"

That was the first time.

But it is not.

later.

They continued to love each other.

He took over the world in all his glory.

She was forced to grow up.

Atobe Keigo traded his own lack of freedom in marriage in exchange for Atobe Hizuki's lifelong freedom.

He exchanged 500 million for a qualification from Akihiko Atobe.

Everything is different.

Echizen Ryoma thought that he should have Atobe Hizuki check his body a few years in advance.But this time, they will go to a completely different ending.He will wait for a sentence spanning two lifetimes: "I am willing."

after that.

She still inevitably, towards the end of death.

*

When Echizen Ryoma opened his eyes again, he saw Karubin lying beside his bed, obediently rubbing his palm as always.As if he had had a long dream, after waking up, he stood on the bed in a daze, unable to calm down for a long time.

Pushing open the window, the eyes are full of spring-like green, and the sunshine reflecting the grid.In front of the window lattice in the cold spring, the tired bird returns, which is a rare beauty on a good day.

It's spring again.

His heart was silent.

The moment he found out about Atobe Hitsuki's plane crash, his world was also shattered.

The warm blood in his chest turned from warm to cold, and his once vigorous face gradually became numb, until the pain caused by the violent heart contraction pierced his whole body.

And such an ending, the later Echizen Ryoma did not know how many times he experienced it.It was like entering a cycle of death, once again, he couldn't save the person he had carved into his bones and blood with all his strength.

Terminally ill.The plane crashed.Kidnapping and tearing up tickets.fire.earthquake.

use different ways.

Same ending.

He watched her again and again, dying before his eyes.

Atobe Scarlet Moon, I was thinking.

Does every rebirth, you will appear in my life in different ways.And every time, you will also go to the predetermined end of death.

But don't know why.

My heart is very peaceful.

The heart that once beat only for tennis was clamoring.

It's great that I can still see you.

able to meet you.

That's great.

No matter how many times I come back, I will find you.

But start over.

As long as you are here.

·

But this time, he couldn't seem to find her.

Echizen Ryoma searched all over Tokyo, and stopped at the place he knew she liked the most. He ran to ask Keigo Atobe, but all he got was the confused eyes of the proud young master. He raised his chin and glanced at him, only I think he is crazy: "Sister? I am the only child, and I don't have a younger sister."

The ice emperor's people also said that they had never heard of Atobe having a younger sister.

He had thought more than once that if Atobe Feiyue hadn't been taken home by Atobe Keigo, she wouldn't be the unattainable second lady of the Atobe chaebol.Maybe they will have an ordinary encounter and an ordinary future.

They don't have to work so hard.

If so.

They never meet.

No one remembers her.

But he still remembers.

She has purple-gray hair and blue eyes.The curved eyebrows and eyes when he smiled, the soft lips when he kissed the corner of his mouth, and the faint fragrance of roses.

In the spring when she was 16 years old, she stood on tiptoe and raised her head to kiss him, her ponytail swaying, her eyebrows smiling and winking slyly, and she easily lost his heart.He could clearly see her fluttering and trembling eyelashes, and still had the words in his ear: "It's you I like."

He touched his heart and thought.

Only he remembers her.

Fate made her withdraw from his life cleanly and alone in a decisive and irreversible way.

...

and after.

There is no later.

Echizen Ryoma followed the same trajectory step by step as many times before. The only difference was that this time, there was no girl who turned her face on the table and smiled and stared at him.

For many years thereafter.

He never met Atobe Himezuki again.

He was finally able to do what she wished, and to fight the world without distractions.

But somewhere in my heart.

Empty.

There can no longer be any turbulent waves.

When he woke up in the middle of the night, he was alone.

The successful Echizen Ryoma returned to his hometown many years later, and traveled around every corner of Japan with a tennis bag on his back, but he failed to meet that familiar figure.

He went skiing in Hokkaido, hot springs in Hakone, and deer watching in Nara.

But he never met her again.

Don't know where she is now.

how have you been.

In fact, these do not matter.

——As long as she lives well.

A senior friend around him asked him why he didn't find a girlfriend. It seemed that Echizen Ryoma would not be attracted to girls.For so many years, I have been alone until now.

Echizen Ryoma's fingertips touched the position of the second button on his chest, and a rare daze appeared on his expression.The next second chuckled out loud:

"I'm waiting for someone."

I'm just waiting for someone.

Finally he went to Kanagawa to see the sea.

In spring, there are very few people on the beach, and couples in twos and threes get tired of talking together.The sea breeze cleared his confused head a little, he stretched himself, and glanced around casually.

Then he froze completely.

The person who gradually became clear in time unexpectedly reappeared in front of his eyes, just like many times in the past, re-invading his life with an abrupt gesture.

The girl who is as bright as yesterday in memory.

his little girl.

But neither.

The girl walking barefoot to the depths of the sea step by step has eyes full of stories, almost melting into the ocean.She no longer wears a single ponytail, has long hair draped over her shoulders, and has a downcast side face.

So what.

She is clearly Atobe Hizuki.

The sudden ecstasy that swept over him was followed by panic and fear, Echizen Ryoma's pupils shrank slightly, he raised his legs and ran towards her, grabbing the falling girl's wrist.

The waves and the wind rustled, and the tired birds fluttered their wings.The sun was sinking, and the orange dusk was as beautiful as before.It seems to hear the patter of raindrops, that is the sound of falling on each other's hearts.Across thousands of rivers and mountains, it finally stopped suddenly.

He has her.

……

The moment she looked back, she seemed to see the light.

……

……

Even do it all over again.

I will still fall hopelessly in love with you.

Even if I know all the endings, I will run to you without hesitation.

——Until fate completely strips you from my memory.
