Yin, "Who sent the message to ask me when I was coming back?"

Kirihara stuck out his tongue out of embarrassment after being poked in the center, and Marui was the first to react when he heard Yukimura's words.

Sighing sadly, "If I knew Yukimura was so talkative, I should have asked more!"

Although Sanada felt regretful, he still remembered Yukimura's competition schedule: "Yukimura, you didn't just come back from a vacation, did you? I remember that the news that you would participate in the Tokyo Open was announced on ins."

"That's right. Yukimura, you still have a competition! Is there time for training? Or—"

He has entered the second grade of high school, and the burden of school work is getting heavier and heavier, but everyone still remembers their game day, which makes Yukimura feel warm in his heart.

"Although the official announcement of participating, I haven't decided yet, and there is still some time before the competition. I'm not in such a hurry."

This time he came back without an entourage is the best proof, the coach meant to let him adjust himself.

"Hmm—" Niwang Wenxian understood, and blinked his eyes, "That is to say, Yukimura, you won't be leaving these few days?"

"Yeah. At least a week to relax."

Hearing this, everyone became excited.

"Then, Minister Yukimura, why don't you sign for me first!" Kirihara took out the signature board from nowhere, it seemed that it had been planned for a long time.

Yukimura looked at the elementary school boy with a funny face, and deliberately let out a long sigh: "I thought it would be easy to see everyone, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't escape the fate of signing autographs?"

When the others heard this, they immediately glared at Kirihara, and Marui snatched the signature board, "Akaya, you are too much!

Kirihara was extremely wronged and tried to explain: "I just, just—"

Unexpectedly, Yukimura burst out laughing, "I lied to you."

"Minister—!" Kirihara couldn't believe it.

"However, if you want to sign a signature, you should exchange the corresponding results. Isn't it?" Yukimura said.

……

Step into the living room of the Lihai Tennis Club again.

It feels like a world away.

Not much has changed here. It should be said that the interior of the studio seems to be like this forever. The only thing that changes is the increasing number of awards and trophies on the walls and in the display cabinets.

No.40 The team winner of the [-]th National Men's Middle School Tennis Competition - Lihai University Affiliated Middle School.

The team winner of the [-]st National Boys' Tennis Competition for Middle School Students - the High School Affiliated to Lihai University.

The banner of the championship clearly demonstrated Kirihara's achievements in the past two years, and——

"Minister Yukimura recruited new recruits after you left. Everyone applied to join the tennis club one after another. The number of people has skyrocketed. We finally screened out half of them, and the rest survived the basic training and persisted.

"There are more students, and there are more good seedlings. There are a few good ones, I have trained them well, and now they can be regarded as the main force of the middle school.

"Funds and training plans for the department have been adjusted. Last year, Daisuke, the head of the tennis department at the junior high school, oh, the kid who succeeded me. Whatever you say, you have to put the pennant over, saying that it just fits together. I can't help it. Just leave it here.

"I also helped to talk about the off-campus competition at that time. At first, I was afraid that I would not be able to control the situation, so I directly pulled the main selection to practice, but later found that it was unnecessary. It is better to wait for the official competition! They all played the game well..."

Kirihara was eloquent, his mouth was almost dry, when he looked up, his minister was still calm and smiling, he was not sure whether he had passed the test or not.

But he still looked straight at the past, and there was no longer any timidity in his eyes: "Minister Yukimura, can I change my signature for my results?"

Yukimura looked back at him.

The boy who used to be half a head shorter than himself can now look at him at the same level.

The once frizzy temper has changed a lot, and the narration just now is also methodical and generous.

Completely turned into an adult.

Probably only the curl of the hair is still the same as before.

Thinking of this, Yukimura couldn't help stretching out his hand, and touched Kirihara's head for the first time.

The moment the hair is touched, it is not as hard as imagined, but it is as easy to bully as I am, and it feels very good.

"Of course." Yukimura's voice sounded.

It's done better than expected.

future.

United States, Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Today is the final day of the US Open men's singles, and at the press conference just before the start of the final, the world's number one Japanese player Yukimura Seichi publicly stated that he will announce his retirement after this game.

For this tennis king who has been at the peak since his debut, many people have mixed feelings about him.

On the one hand, he broke the ten thousand-year-old pattern of tennis and became the first Asian in history to reach the top of the world; on the other hand, his appearance undoubtedly suppressed the way out for all other tennis players, making them all hopeless can look up.

Someone once said: "It is a kind of luck and a kind of misfortune to be born in the same era as Yukimura Seiichi."

Even though there are many emotions, it cannot be denied that Yukimura Seichi has brought them too many things.

And now, the king ushered in his final game.

His opponent is the younger generation who is also a Japanese player - Akaya Kirihara.

As Kirihara who followed Yukimura into the tennis world, this is the No. 14 time he has reached the US Open final in his long career, and it is also the tenth time he has faced his minister, Yukimura Seiichi.

When he came out of the player tunnel, Kirihara saw several people in the VIP seats at a glance.

Li Haida's seniors were sitting on chairs, looking at him with perfect eyes—and Minister Yukimura who had just stepped out.

Yukimura also followed Kirihara's gaze, and the two waved to them together.

The cheers from the auditorium suddenly heated up. Yukimura patted Kirihara on the shoulder calmly, and said softly like all the previous games between the two of them, "Let's go."

The warm-up before the game is essential. Although there are only a few simple balls to pull, Kirihara still realizes that Yukimura is not like what he said at the press conference. He chose to retire due to physical reasons.

However, Akira Kirihara was not the purely impulsive sophomore ace back then.Professional tennis changes many people, and he is one of them.

Kirihara quickly discarded all the thoughts in his mind, facing the upcoming game, he had to go all out.

What's more, the person opposite is Yukimura Seichi.

Yukimura's heart is actually not as calm as it seems on the surface.

For the last match of his career, he was about to leave his beloved tennis court, and he could only suppress the reluctance in his heart.

What's more, it's their own juniors who are fighting against each other.

Without waiting for Yukimura to think about it, the referee has already issued an order to announce the start of the game.

The noisy venue fell silent for a moment, and everyone's eyes were focused on the two people in the venue.

Yukimura serves first.

Raise your hand, throw the ball, bend your waist, bend your knees, and swing your racket.

A beautiful diagonal high-speed serve, Kirihara reacted extremely quickly, quickly ran to the landing point, and swung his racket back.

That's how it started.

In the auditorium, everyone was staring intently at the changes in the arena.

"Is Yukimura really going to retire?" Marui asked softly, "Why did you choose this time?"

"... who knows." Niwang paused and replied.

"Curtain call at the most prosperous time, Yukimura-kun is really unexpected." Yagyu looked at Yukimura who was still running without slowing down and reacting well, "I thought he would stay for a while."

Kuwahara was not surprised: "I have all the awards I should have won, I have entered the Hall of Fame, and the previous record has been broken. Yukimura probably has no other regrets."

"There is also the problem of continuous injuries since last year. These years of overloaded training and competition..." Liu can understand Yukimura's thoughts, "It is almost time to retire."

Sanada lowered the brim of his hat, "Maybe it's Yukimura's style to be unexpected."

They don't need to be surprised or puzzled by Yukimura's decision.

Now just wait for him to come back to enjoy himself.

While they were chatting, the game situation on the court had tilted towards Yukimura.

Kirihara is trailing 0-3.

Not only did he fail to break Yukimura's serve, but he also lost his own serve.

At this time, his face couldn't help showing a little impatience, and he slapped the ball much harder than before.

Although I clearly know that there is a big gap between myself and Minister Yukimura, and the results of the previous competition and the world rankings have also deeply reflected this, but——

There will still be dissatisfaction.

The fluff on the ball stung Kirihara's palm.

Why can't I beat Minister Yukimura?

Why, every game will end in loss?

Kirihara raised his eyes to look at the person opposite, as if he wanted to engrave his appearance in his heart.

Kirihara's trance was noticed by Yukimura.

But he didn't stop his actions like before, and recalled Kirihara's sanity, whether it was as an opponent or as a senior.

Standing up slightly, Yukimura met Kirihara's eyes.

In the next second, the opponent's serve hit his right rear like a broken bamboo.

Yukimura adjusted his posture, took two steps back, and pulled the forehand obliquely. Under his command, the small tennis ball flew over the net and landed on the opposite court.

Kirihara also quickly returned to defense, weakening the small ball in the frontcourt and further luring the opponent forward.

Not surprisingly, Yukimura ran forward and caught the ball.Kirihara took advantage of the victory and pursued, the racket in his hand was strong, and the ball passed through Yukimura's armpit and hit the sideline of the backcourt.
