The Prince of Tennis - I'm Echizen Ryoma

"I will not participate in the U.S. Open." In the lecture hall, I was brought over just after I left the tennis club. When I said this again, I felt a lot weaker.

"Ah—" On the opposite side, the old lady Ryuzaki who put one hand on her hip and the other aggressively on the table closed her eyes and let out a long sigh, "I will be very sorry."

Opening her eyes, she stared at me puzzled, "I thought you would accept it happily."

"Sorry." I mutter.

"However, such a good opportunity will not come easily again." Mrs. Ryuzaki asked, "What is the reason?"

"It's the Nationals soon." I continued to mutter.

"Indeed, you and everyone else are working hard for the national competition. You are also working hard for the goal of dominating the country." Ryuzaki old lady continued to persuade unwillingly, "But, compared to that..."

"That..." I interrupted her.

"En?" Mrs. Ryuzaki was puzzled.

"Echizen, become the pillar of Aigaku! 』

On the stadium under the elevated, opposite me who was half squatting and panting, the minister looked down at me, his eyes focused and sharp behind the lens.

"What's the matter, what's the matter with you, Ryoma?" Mrs. Ryuzaki's voice interrupted my trance recollection.

With a slight movement of my lips, my voice was inaudible, "It's nothing."

Looking at me worriedly, Mrs. Ryuzaki's serious face suddenly broke into a smile, "Well, you don't have to jump to conclusions so quickly, it's not too late to answer after thinking about it~"

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Ryuzaki tidied up the handouts that had been put aside, and walked out of the classroom.

I leaned back in the chair, closed my eyes and let out a long breath.The last sentence of the old lady Ryuzaki was exactly the same as that of the minister.I understand that they are all thinking about my future.

Which choice is more beneficial to the realization of my personal dream, the answer is obvious.

But, I have to make this decision, why is it so difficult.

Several images floated in my mind, such as the day when I first entered the youth school, the cherry blossoms were flying, and I saw the blue and white shirts of the team in the tennis court.

Then--

At the school gate, Taocheng, who was riding a bicycle, smiled heartily, showing his white teeth, "Echizen, I'll take you home." 』

In the member's room, Oishi stopped me who was about to step out, squatted down, fastened my shoelaces and chattered anxiously, "Be careful, Echizen, look at you, you didn't pay attention to the loose shoelaces." , what if you step on it and get hurt...』

On the sidelines of the crowd cheering, a pounce, Kikumaru hugged me nonchalantly and dawdled, "Little one, win beautifully!"I see you are cuter than my little bear Daigoro, wow haha——』

In the sushi restaurant, the counter at Kawamura Station, who was dressed as a preparatory chef, looked at me with a silly smile, raised his finger and pointed to the guest seat in front of him, "Come, Echizen, sit here. 』

Next to the bench next to the field, I squatted down and checked my ankle, "This part is still growing, don't overtrain.Don't forget to follow my menu every day, with my special vegetable juice - the head shakes so fast, then replace the milk. 』

On the way home from school under drizzling rain, Haitang peeked out from behind the sidewalk tree, his front hair was sticking wet to his forehead, two red clouds rose on his face, and he was still posing coolly, "Tsk, that's terrible." 』

In his sight, Shi Shi ran away, with Haitang’s green scarf in my pocket (to wipe the dog’s body), and Haitang’s big black umbrella in my hand (to protect the dog from the rain)...

and also--

Next to the practice wall at Tennis Forest Park.

"So, it's okay, just cry. ’Fuji gently pressed my head into his arms, and sighed faintly, ‘You are the real fool, Ryoma. ".

no!This is too embarrassing, get another one.

"You are really stupid. 』Fuer turned his head and smiled at me softly, 『By the way, I was the one who tripped you just now~』

kindness?wrong!Another one.

A mouthful of hot air was blown into my ear, "I forgot to mention one thing - I was the one who put that pot of prickly pear at your feet~"

Still not right!Change again!

"Your memory is really bad, I told you it was a permanent burn, of course I have to express my gratitude every day~"

"A fool will still be a fool after 1 years~"

"You're screaming loudly, Ryoma~ Listen to it a few more times~"

"Although you are still a fool for ten thousand years, if I say not to let go, I will not let go.Absolutely not.Never. 』......

I gave up!It is obviously a mistake to find warm clips here in Fuji!

Even if you cry in his arms, the words of comfort are fools.No matter what, I can be considered both civil and military. I am obviously a genius, and I have won the most fool medals from Fuji-senpai. Why?

Frowning tightly, a soft voice came from in front of him, "What are you thinking, Ryoma?"

When I opened my eyes in surprise, I saw that Bu was resting on the table with his elbows, and he was looking at me with a smile on his cheeks, "Seeing that you are struggling and suffering, it must be a nightmare~"

Yes, yes, at first it was a dream, and then it was a nightmare, and now this nightmare is right in front of me.

Of course you can't tell the truth.I moved my eyes to the side, and saw my vague face reflected in the glass windows of the lecture hall: messy hair and confused eyes.Cut, I can't stand it anymore, I look like a lost dog.

"Did Senior Fuji also come to persuade me?"

"Well? What advice do you have?"

Withdrawing my gaze from the glass window, I looked straight at it, "Advise me to think carefully, and don't rush to choose something."

"Shall I be honest?" Opening his squinted blue eyes, Fuji's smile is still impeccable, "For me, whether you go to the U.S. Open or stay in Japan to participate in the national competition, Ryoma is Ryoma, there will be no any change."

That means no matter what I choose, he supports it?Demon foxes sometimes spit out some ivory in their mouths?The next moment, my little touch was immediately shattered.

"Of course, if you think about it carefully, it's better to stay here, so that if you lose, you can be here nearby—" Raising a finger and pointing to his chest, Buer's blue eyes slightly curved, and he said silently She made a gesture of her lips, "Crying." 』

"I have one more thing to tell you. If you go to the United States and lose in the Open, you must hold back and come back to me—" Before the fever on my face is about to erupt, I will put out the fire slowly, " Long talk, long talk~"

The hands with fingers crossed on the table that had been placed on the table were pillowed behind my head, and I turned my face away. I pretended to be relaxed to cover up my embarrassment and anger, "Once I go to the United States, I may not be able to come back."

After waiting for a while, I didn't hear a response, so I turned to look.

The blue eyes stared straight at me, and the smile disappeared from Fuji's face, and I was taken aback by the seriousness of his expression.

Closing his eyes, Fuji suddenly smiled again, "Sure enough. I knew this day would come sooner or later, I didn't expect it to be so soon."

Raising his arms flat, across the table, he put his hands on the back of the chair next to my neck, "Listen up, Ryoma."

I was a little uncomfortable being confined on the back of the chair by Fuji's posture, but seeing Fuji's serious expression and knowing that he had something important to announce, I obediently put down my hands on the pillow and listened to him.

"There is a match between me and Tezuka the day after tomorrow. If I win," he stared into the depths of my blue eyes without blinking, a flame flickered, "I will ask you to make another choice in life."

"Another choice in life?" I blinked.What else do I have to choose besides the path in tennis?

"No need to guess now." Fuji chuckled, "You don't have the brain capacity for this."

This is another fool's medal issued to me in disguise, right?

"If, I lose..."

Raising his lips, Bu Er returned to his charming smile, with a relaxed tone, "I gave up tennis in high school, ah, by the way, I will advise you to think carefully, and don't rush to choose something~"

Although Bu Er was laughing, the content of his speech made people unable to laugh.

"...Give up, tennis ball?"

"Well. If I can't do my best in the tennis field, I won't do it." As if he was afraid that I would interrupt him, Fuji spoke faster than usual, "As for what to do in the future, I have also planned. Fortunately, I Studies are pretty good."

Bu Er's blue eyes swept over me from top to bottom, and I was about to lower my head subconsciously to check if I was disheveled, when a soft voice came, "Health care doctor, a very convenient profession~ "

——Why do you feel colder on your body?

No, now is not the time to care about yourself.

What Fuji told me today was very informative, and I didn't understand all of it.However, my intuition tells me that when Bu Er talked about the possibility of giving up tennis, he was definitely not as relaxed as he showed.

I want to persuade him that winning or losing is not a big deal, and there is no need to take the match with the minister so seriously.Didn't I lose a complete defeat and continue to play tennis?

It's good to win, but you can keep working hard even if you lose.I couldn't beat the Minister back then, but now that the Minister is stronger, I don't think I will lose to him.

However, all my well-organized words suddenly dissipated when I saw the sad smile on the other side.

He spoke to me about a difficult decision.He is waiting for me to speak.

Aware of this all of a sudden, I speak the following words naturally without thinking carefully,

"For me, no matter whether you win or lose, whether you will be a tennis player or a health doctor in the future, the best senior is my best senior, and nothing will change."

Fuji slowly lowered his head, but his shoulders trembled slightly.

This is—moved to tears?No, according to the urination of the demon fox, this is absolutely irresistible!

really.

"'Fuer Senior is my Fuji Senior, there won't be any change'? Pfft——" Looking up, Fuji showed a very hard-working smile, "Let me think about it, what should I do for 'My Buer'?" Is the second senior 'happy? Or is he sad that 'nothing will change'?"

what's so funny!

I just copied what you said, although I unconsciously added "my", it's not a slip of the tongue!If it's not my senior, can it be someone else's senior?

How can it make you sad that nothing will change?When you said this to me, I felt very good!Humans and demons really can't communicate, right? !

When I was stunned and complaining, Fuji gently stroked the right hand on the back of the chair to the top of my head, and the blue eyes staring at me seemed to be wet and rippling because of the excessive laughter.

"Hehe, although I have the consciousness to give up tennis, I will never give up..."

Fuji's whispers were inaudible, and I didn't finish the second half of the sentence.Because Buer put the hand on top of my head slipped down, covering my sight and making my eyes go dark.

For a moment of being startled, he felt a faint breath, and then, there was a gentle touch on his lips, as gentle as a falling feather.

The black screen is only momentary.When I dully realized that the soft touch was the same lips, and looked over blankly, the perpetrator had already put his hands in his trouser pockets, and walked away as if nothing had happened.

This is not an accident, is it?

As if answering my question, when he walked to the door, he turned around and leaned on the door frame with one hand, his seductive blue eyes drifted sideways and gave me a wink, "The one just now was a small thank you for your thoughtful words. Well, If you want to return the gift, please feel free to find me~"

The sound of the lecture hall door closing sounded, and I came back to my senses.

You liar!Whose thank you didn't turn into a kiss on the cheek? !Although I have also experienced mouth-to-mouth encounters—with the door face, with the minister, and with Fuji (it seems that there are many), but those are accidents, accidents!

It was definitely Buer's initiative just now--that's right?

『When a beauty offers a kiss on her own initiative, it means that you can choose whether you want to be a beast or be worse than a beast. 』The old man’s teachings suddenly popped out of my mind inappropriately.

Wow, why did I blush without authorization and my heart beat ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Calm down, maybe Bu Er accidentally kissed the wrong one, maybe I made a mistake myself.I'll have to go back and find out, maybe kissing is just a courtesy?Maybe Fuji-senpai put a mistletoe on top of my head just now? (Author's note: Mistletoe was considered sacred by the Druids of England. During Christmas, a person standing under the mistletoe cannot refuse a kiss.)

Hahaha.

I found that no matter how serious and serious I was worrying about it, as soon as I met Fuji-senpai, I would go in an unknown direction every time and run wildly all the way.

this is not good.This is very bad.
