The Prince of Tennis - I'm Echizen Ryoma

The author has something to say:

The narrator of this chapter is the protagonist - Taocheng - Dashi - Haitang.Line of sight transitions are marked with *.

In the haze, his chest felt heavy, and he opened his eyes, facing Karubin's round eyes.With a raised beard, it gave me a coquettish "meow--".

Blinking my eyes, I regained my senses from the sound of the alarm clock in a daze, "Today is the final day."

He pulled on his slippers, rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked towards the dining room.

"Morning~Ryoma~Breakfast is your favorite Japanese food~" Nanako's cousin greeted me.

"Morning~" I opened my mouth and yawned, "Really?"

I sat down, and when I opened my eyes again, I was shocked by the large bowls piled up like a hill in front of me, "One, I ate so much early in the morning..."

"Today is the final day~" Cousin Nanako raised her right arm energetically, "We must win a big victory!"

The stinky old man who was busy reading the newspaper in front of the hall raised his eyebrows subtly, "A complete victory...?"

"Isn't today's opponent really strong? It's Lihai University Affiliated High School, right?" Nanako's cousin asked questions beside me while I was eating with my eyes closed, "Let's go cheer Ryoma occasionally~"

These two guys are well-informed... However, I'm not used to people worrying about me.Opening my eyes, I said lightly, "It's okay not to go."

"You're welcome~" Cousin Nanako smiled all over her face.

"I'm not being polite."

"Hey, where is your competition venue?"

"do not know."

"I don't know what it is?" Nanako's cousin opened her eyes wide and pouted her mouth, "Ryoma is really bad."

Tsk, I don't want that smelly old man next to me to know.Just when I was thinking this way, the old man's strange voice came, "Master Ryoma, you can't do this~"

"Uncle?" Nanako looked over in surprise.

"Oh~" The old man handed over the newspaper as if offering a treasure, "It's clearly written here, the competition venue~"

"Really~Thank you, Uncle~"

Guzui gave me a hard look at the stinky old man.As if nothing had happened, he walked away with his pillow in his hands, humming a little tune while walking.

If this bad middle-aged man went to the arena—a picture flashed in his mind instantly: a suspicious pervert with a flowery turban knotted under his nose was drooling and running around chatting up girls, immediately inside and outside the arena A piece of chaos, a miasma...

This must not be tolerated!Throwing a mouthful of rice into my mouth, I had a dark thought—if I really found this smelly old man on the field, why not poison him with the stolen drinking water can?

* "Crack!" "Crack!"

Street tennis courts in the morning.On the opposite side, Haitang who was swinging his racket looked serious.

The reason why he practiced with this rival for the first time came from a phone call last night.

"Ring-ring--"

"Xiaowu~your friend Kaitang-kun's phone number~"

"Haitang?" Blowing off the tears and snot all over my face, I turned off "The Righteous Dog Lacey" that I had watched N times.Haitang will take the initiative to call me, the sun is really coming out from the west~

"Hello~"

There was no sound from the opposite side.

"Hello~" I moved the microphone closer and raised my voice.

"...That, that, tomorrow morning..." For a long time, a stammering voice came from the other end that was almost inaudible.

"Huh?" I raised my voice again.

"Hmm... hiss—" Then the deep voice sounded angrily, "At six o'clock tomorrow morning, I will wait for you at the street tennis court!" Then there was a snap.

"Hey, wait a minute, little snake~" There is only a busy tone...

Putting the phone on hold, I grinned, "Huh, Kaidou, I'm so excited~" It's because I received a notification from Dashi, and I know that tomorrow I will be paired with him~

"Crack!" A tennis ball hit my grinning cheek hard. "pain--"

"What kind of errand are you on?" Haitang's voice was not polite as usual.

Unexpectedly not angry, I raised the racket with a hippie smile, "Okay, let's have another ball~"

"Are you okay?" Haitang stared wide-eyed.

"Don't worry, don't worry~" I closed my eyes and tapped my back leisurely with a net racket.

"Maybe Li Hai's subordinates will block our unique moves." After practice, I walked along the embankment with Kaitang to the station, and I recalled the doubles match between Kajimoto and us last time.

"Then solve it before then." Haitang closed his eyes, his tone low and firm.

"That's right." I replied, "Let's try it." All the members are national-level Li Haida, and it must be very cool to defeat them~

Suddenly thought of something, I turned my head and looked at Haitang with a smile on my face, "Hey, it seems that we haven't quarreled today." Miracle.

"I know." Without looking at me, he replied sullenly.

"Wang Wang Wang-"

"Is it the dog barking just now?" I was still wondering, Haitang beside me had already run down the embankment quickly.

"Hey? Is that over there?" I followed him and ran.This guy is sensitive to barking dogs.

"I see." On the bank of the river, Haitang stopped.

Following his gaze to the river, I was taken aback, "Wow, it's over there."

On the bridge pier in the middle of the river, a little dog was whining shiveringly at us.

"Why is that guy there?" Haitang was annoyed.No need to ask, it was obviously a prank by a boring guy.

"Lucky?" I murmured looking at the puppy.This puppy is very similar to the young Lacey in the film.

I was still in a daze, Haitang had already thrown the bag aside, climbed over the railing and walked into the river.

"Hello, Kaitang?" I was surprised.

"If you don't care about it, you will fall into the river." He dropped the next sentence.

"That's what I said," I turned my head and looked in the direction of the station, "If you don't hurry up, you won't be able to catch up with the assembly time." Today is the final day that is very important to everyone.

"Worry." He stared snake-eyed, "You go first." Then he waded towards the pier.

"Understood." Smiling, I turned my hands into a megaphone and yelled at his back, "Please, Haitang~"

"Goodbye, little Lacey~" I muttered to the puppy from a distance (you are really lucky~), I turned and walked towards the station.

＊"Dinner is ready~" In front of the tropical fish tank, as soon as I sprinkled the feed, the fish couldn't wait to gather.Except for one.

I squatted down and looked at the pouting fish with big tail eyes and small body in the corner of the fish tank (Author: Readers who don’t know this fish, see Chapter 66).Sighing, put on the concentrated feed and sprinkle a few on top of it.

It was still lazily lying on its stomach and not moving.

Several anchovies found the food here and swam over one after another.The bait fluttered down and sank, and when the fish were about to reach them, the pouting fish flicked its tail quickly, and its body jumped up quickly, the mouth of the fish flashed, and all the baits disappeared in the blink of an eye.

When I took a closer look, the fooled anchovies were still circling inexplicably in the same place, and the pouting fish lay there with its mouth drooping and powerless.

There is also this kind of guy who pulls his head in the fish... With a knowing smile, I put a tennis bag on my back and go out.

Outside the door is sunny and sunny weather.Looking up at the sky, I heard a confident voice in my heart: Tezuka, today, we will definitely complete the agreement with you!

* "Wow -" the puppy on the bridge pier desperately wagged its tail at me who was wading through the water.

"Wait a minute, it's only a little bit away~" Don't be afraid, be good~

While muttering, the puppy who couldn't wait suddenly jumped into the water in my direction, then let out a whine, and was swept away by the river.Oops!

Chasing after her in a hurry, the river that originally only reached her thighs covered her waist and chest, "Wait a minute!"

While staring anxiously at the puppy floating in the waves, his feet suddenly stepped on the ground, and he sank into the river.
