The Prince of Tennis - I'm Echizen Ryoma

As soon as I slid down the slope, I regretted it.Because the guy doesn't seem to be doing anything wrong.Closing my eyes, I picked up the dropped hat and put it on, and I brushed off the dirt on my body.

"We are really destined, both of us have bad luck." Ignoring my displeased face, Xiaoyuan came over with a smile while dusting off the dust in his dark glasses, "But don't panic, good luck will definitely follow bad luck arrival."

"Huh?" I glanced at him like a fool.If anything represents bad luck, it's you!

"Okay, let's call for help." He raised his eyes and looked up the slope.

"No..." I stammered.

"What's wrong?" He looked at me puzzled.

"That...it's too embarrassing." My gaze slipped away.

Staring at me for a while, the guy suddenly smiled, "Your dignity is admirable, and your dignity is connected with your soul. Yes, you have always grown by your own strength." This guy thought he was reciting poetry ?

"Let's go back to everyone's place." He spread his hands, "If you don't call for help, there may be no way ahead, but this is your own choice." After speaking, he turned around and opened the way first.

I closed my mouth that had been open for a long time and followed, I muttered, "I don't understand at all." This guy's speech is as difficult to understand as a bible.

As he walked, he broke off a twig and moved it back and forth in the grass in front of him.With pillows in both hands behind me, I couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"

He turned his head with a smile and held up the branch, "There are countless poisonous snakes hidden in the tropical rainforest. Use this method to drive the snakes away."

"Tropical rainforest?!" I curled my lips angrily, "Although this place is relatively primitive, but..." It has nothing to do with tropical rainforest!

"Pay attention to the atmosphere, the atmosphere~" He raised the branch and tapped the brim of my hat lightly, he stretched out his arms and made a poss, "You and I are both victims now, so we should be in a sad mood of being dependent on each other."

"I'm not in the mood." I closed my eyes.This guy thought he was playing house!I just feel hot and thirsty!

"Okay, there is still a long way to go in the future. In this beautiful nature, let us move forward with hope~"——This guy should not be the head of the tennis department, he is almost the same as the head of the drama department .

After walking for a while, he stopped suddenly.

"What's wrong?" I looked at him strangely.

"Shhh—" He raised a finger to his mouth and listened intently, then walked to the left, "This way."

"Echizen-kun, look! There is indeed a river here! It's a river, a tributary of the river~"

"You'll know it at a glance." It's just a small stream, so there's no need to be so excited?

"You don't understand anything." He turned around and pointed at me, and then he clenched his fists and continued, "It looks like a river on the surface, but for us who are wandering in hell now, it has given us passionate encouragement And inspiration, we feel patronized by the Goddess. It is a river that brings us back to life."

Big drops of sweat fell from my head, and I wrote a letter to him in my heart.

"As an athlete, you should replenish water before you get thirsty, that is, before your maximum limit collapses." He went down to the stream with his trousers unrolled, and turned to look at me, "It's still too late. Come on, come on, too." Move fast."

After jumping into the clear stream, his voice sounded peacefully, "Okay, fully wet your throat, because it is before the most important final."

Leaning over to skim the sparkling stream, I feel a ray of coolness flowing from my fingertips to my whole body. Is this the rhythm of life?How long has it been since you have been in contact with this kind of natural fun?

Splashing the coolness on my face, I took off my hat, raised my sleeves and wiped my face, smiling brightly, "It's better for the senior to get some water, because he talked to me so much."

"Let's do it like this." Yamato looked at me with a peaceful expression.

"Good toughness." Sitting down by the stream, he twisted the branch in his hand.

"What are you going to do this time?" With my hands in my trouser pockets, I stood behind him and watched him make fun of me.

"When you get lost in the forest, walking along the river is the most common way. Do you know why?" He dragged a vine from nowhere and chewed it in his mouth.

"Because there are towns along the river." This is basic common sense.

"Correct." He took the cane from his mouth and trimmed it, "But this time our goal is not the town, let's go fishing."

"Fishing?!" He really has leisure!

"Yes. Now our glucagon is dropping. Since we can't absorb sugar now, let's get some protein."

"You just say that it's fine if you're hungry." Turning the eyes of the dead fish, I squatted down beside him.

There are two more fishing rods beside the stream.

I stared at the fishing line made of rattan with my hands resting on my chin. I was not confident about this pair of fishing tackle. "The hook is so obvious, I think the fish will run away."

"In theory. But our food intake is balanced, and proper rest is also necessary." Putting his hands on his knees, he smiled at me, "This is the best strategy to consider food intake and rest distribution. You don't need to think about anything to rest Let's go."

"Yes~" I'm dizzy, you just say that you can't catch fish at all!Wait a minute, was the last sentence intended for me?

"The most important thing is not to think about anything, don't use your brain to think about theoretical and practical things. Too much thinking will reduce the sense of enjoyment and make people impatient, and impatience will become a stumbling block to exert their strength. This is the most frustrating thing. Terrible." He explained solemnly, "The fish that could have been caught will become uncaught."

"Echizen-kun." He suddenly looked at me seriously.

"Ah, what's the matter?" I was stunned as I was thinking about the meaning of his words.

"Baited." He pointed to my fishing rod.

"It's a lie, there's no bait!" I looked at the shaking fishing rod in surprise.

"Okay, imagine it's like lobbing." He gestured.

Closing my eyes and following what he said, I picked up the fishing rod at once, "Wow - what a big one!"

The joyful smiles of the two of us are reflected in the scattered crystal water.

"The stones you mentioned, is this okay?" By the stream, I handed two stones to Yamato who surrounded a pile of dry leaves.

"It's absolutely fine. Next, you can use friction to ignite the fire." After receiving the two stones, he made a long speech as usual, "The birch resin should be able to make objects burn."

"Can you?" I was a little skeptical.

"Theoretically yes." As he spoke, he picked up two stones and struck each other.

First I squatted down and watched with good eyesight, then sat on the ground, and finally I simply lay down.

After I yawned for the Nth time, that guy said, "It doesn't seem to work. Everything in the world can't be explained by theory. But that's what makes it interesting." Then, he took out a piece of paper from his trouser pocket. Box - matches.

"This kind of thing should be taken out earlier." I rolled up the dead fish eyes again.

"The trump card should be used until the end." He didn't mean to reflect in the slightest.

"Are you afraid, Li Haida?" Yamato said casually while skillfully grilling the fish.

I was taken aback.

"The High School Attached to Lihai University is a formidable enemy. In theory, it may be an opponent that cannot be defeated." He poked the fire, "But there is one thing you will not lose, and that is the feeling of loving tennis. Am I right?"

"En...that's right." I seem to have forgotten how I like tennis recently.For a long time, I have been entangled in heavy responsibilities and forgotten to experience the fun, am I too stupid?

"I want to become stronger, I want to win." Yamato looked up at the smoke from the fire, "Just like this blue smoke, it aims at the high sky. However, if you lose the goal at the front of the smoke, you won't feel very painful Don’t you think you should change your sight and enjoy the fun that tennis brings you? I believe that as long as you have the mood to like tennis, you will be happier than anything else.”

Staring at him in shock, what he said along the way was played back one by one:

"There is still a long way to go in the future. Let us move forward with hope~"

"Too much thinking will reduce the feeling of enjoyment and make people impatient, and impatience will become a stumbling block to exert their strength."

"As long as you have the mood to like tennis, you will be happier than anything else."

"Echizen-kun, are you afraid of Li Haida?" He asked again.

"Lihai University Affiliated High School is a strong enemy, theoretically speaking, it may be an opponent that cannot be defeated." The corner of my mouth curled up, and I copied his words, "However, everything in the world cannot be explained by theory, right, Yamato-senpai?"

"Minister Yamato, Echizen!"

A shout interrupted our conversation, not far away, Dashi and the others came running out of breath.

"Tell us where we are with the smoke from the fire, as expected of Minister Yamato." Qian sighed.

"It's just in time." Yamato looked at them and smiled, "The fish was just cooked."

postscript:

On the bus, Ryuzaki, who was driving, looked at Yamato in confusion, "I've been in a daze since just now, what is that wooden stick for?"

"It's nothing. But, I'm really looking forward to it." Yamato waved a branch and looked at the sunset outside the window with a smile, "That young pillar of Seigaku. Although he is young, he grows very tall and straight. He will definitely grow strong. He is worthy of being selected by Tezuka. people."

"Thriving? Of course." Ryuzaki said proudly.
