Prince of Tennis: It's my system. My victory depends entirely on the host.

The matter of Tokugawa Kazuya's retirement was not resolved due to the persuasion of Yukimura Seiichi, but Tokugawa Kazuya's tennis career only lasted two more years.

Although the Tokugawa family was not a prominent family, they also managed a large company.

As the chosen heir, Tokugawa Kazuya was able to freely do what he wanted when he was young thanks to his open-minded parents.

As he grew older, Tokugawa's father's health deteriorated, and Tokugawa Kazuya had to consider taking over his father's business, which was his responsibility.

After discussing with their lovers, they decided to retire on the same day, since they had won enough championships.

Only Yukimura and Tokugawa have enough confidence to say that they have won enough championships.

Tokugawa Kazuya returned home to inherit the family business, while Yukimura Seiichi began his own career as a painter.

Although Yukimura Seiichi travels abroad from time to time for field trips, the time they spend together is more than double what it was when they were playing professionally.

The two finally began a wonderful life together in the house that Tokugawa Kazuya carefully selected.

It was a two-story villa with a large garden. Since there were only two people living there, Tokugawa didn't plan to buy a house that was too big.

This is to prevent those minister-con maniacs from Rikkai University from staying overnight at home!

Tokugawa Kazuya is quite helpless as he is almost 30 years old and still hasn't gotten rid of those blinding light bulbs at Rikkai University.

In order to spend more time with their teammates in the tennis club, several regular players of Rikkai University even bought houses nearby.

But apart from the fact that their time alone is sometimes disturbed, Tokugawa Kazuya has become very familiar with that group of people, and they are now considered to be good friends.

Tokugawa Kazuya got up early last night after picking up his lover from the airport after get off work. Today is Yukimura Seiichi's birthday, and he invited many friends to a party at home to celebrate Yukimura's birthday.

And even if he didn't invite that group of people, he would hold a birthday celebration for Yukimura separately. It would be better to invite them to his house so that he could keep an eye on Yukimura Seiichi and prevent him from drinking too much alcohol because of his joy.

This is Yukimura Seiichi's hobby after retirement. He likes to pour half a glass of red wine and savor it slowly in the evening.

Because one needs to maintain physical condition when playing, drinking too much will shorten the career of a professional athlete. Seiichi Yukimura, who is strict with himself, rarely touches those things.

Tokugawa Kazuya is very doting on his lover's little hobby. He specially built a wine cabinet for Yukimura Seiichi at home, which is filled with famous red wines from all over the world collected by Tokugawa Kazuya himself.

However, lovers will be particularly proactive after drinking, which is another reason why Tokugawa Kazuya, who enjoys many benefits, indulges Yukimura Seiichi.

Tokugawa Kazuya put on an apron and took out many ingredients from the refrigerator and started to prepare them. After living with Yukimura Seiichi, his cooking skills have been slowly honed by Yukimura.

Because they didn't like outsiders invading their territory, Tokugawa and Yukimura only hired a cleaning lady to clean up when they were not at home.

By the time Yukimura Seiichi got up, Tokugawa Kazuya had almost prepared the ingredients. Guessing the approximate time his lover would get up, Tokugawa went upstairs to check on his lover.

So when Yukimura Seiichi opened his eyes, he saw Tokugawa wearing an apron walking towards him.

Lying on the bed, Seiichi Yukimura stretched, and then the pain in his waist made him frown uncomfortably.

Tokugawa Kazuya sat down on the edge of the bed, turned over the quilt, reached out and rubbed Yukimura's waist with a little force and carefully. After a while, Yukimura felt that his discomfort was relieved a lot.

The frown slowly relaxed.

Tokugawa Kazuya couldn't help but kiss his lover on the forehead. He exerted his arm muscles to pick him up from the bed and brought him to the bathroom.

Although a lover who stays in bed is cute, it was already nine o'clock. Tokugawa, who was very concerned about Yukimura Seiichi's health, had to wake Yukimura up and get him to eat.

Fortunately, Yukimura woke up after washing up. After changing into a shirt, Yukimura Seiichi found a mark on his collarbone and had to button up the highest button of his shirt.

He turned his head and looked up at Tokugawa Kazuya who had a cool expression on his face. He raised his hand and pulled Tokugawa's face, "Do you like leaving traces so much?"

God knows how embarrassed he was when his mother saw the traces of his fooling around with Tokugawa Kazuya, but Yukimura, who was already an adult, remained calm and did not show any embarrassment.

When they returned home, Yukimura Seiichi angrily asked Tokugawa Kazuya to sleep in another room, which made Tokugawa restrain his behavior of leaving marks.

Tokugawa Kazuya hugged Yukimura Seiichi's waist and buried his head in his shoulders and rubbed them. This was not intentional, but he just couldn't bear not seeing his lover for several days.

Tokugawa Kazuya, who transformed into a clingy big dog, touched Yukimura Seiichi's cute spot. He couldn't help but stroke Tokugawa's hair, and the gentle force made Tokugawa close his eyes in comfort.

The two of them just hugged each other quietly and stayed in the bedroom for a while.

When the two went downstairs, the breakfast that Tokugawa made for Yukimura had lost its temperature, so he could only make a new one. Naturally, Tokugawa reheated the cold one and put it into his own stomach.

After breakfast, Tokugawa Kazuya returned to the kitchen to continue preparing food, while Yukimura Seiichi was given a handful of vegetables by Tokugawa and asked to pick them to pass the time.

As for letting Yukimura Seiichi go into the kitchen to cook? That's impossible.

What are Yukimura Seiichi's shortcomings? The only shortcoming is his cooking skills.

In his hands, any food can become poison that causes people to lose their sense of taste, but Seiichi Yukimura himself does not believe in it.

He has watched a lot of gourmet cooking videos on his mobile phone, but even if he follows the steps on the phone, the food he makes is still inedible.

After trying several times and destroying the kitchen several times, Yukimura Seiichi had no choice but to give up the skill of cooking.

"I have picked the vegetables. Do you need any help?"

Yukimura Seiichi put the washed food aside and tilted his head to look at Tokugawa Kazuya who was busy in the kitchen.

"Can you help me mix this vegetable salad? The dressing is already prepared."

Tokugawa Kazuya pointed to the big bowl on the cooking table, and fearing that Yukimura was bored, he assigned him another job.

Did they treat him like a kid? Yukimura Seiichi, who was coaxed like a kid, quickly completed the task assigned to him by Tokugawa Kazuya.

"Great! Jingshi, can you help me check the potted plants in the garden? The one I planted seems to be starting to turn yellow again."

Tokugawa Kazuya thought of the plants Yukimura Seiichi gave him, and a trace of distress flashed across his face. He didn't understand why everything he planted died.

Yukimura Seiichi readily agreed. Tokugawa Kazuya's talent in growing flowers was as poor as his talent in cooking, but the two of them were quite a match.

Yukimura Seiichi went back upstairs and changed into a dark-colored dress, then went to the small tool shed in the garden and picked up some small hoes, scissors and other things.

After carefully taking care of the plants in the garden, especially the one belonging to Tokugawa, Yukimura returned to his room to take a shower and change his clothes.

"Why don't you blow dry your hair?"

When Tokugawa Kazuya saw his wet hair, he immediately stopped what he was doing, washed his hands, took the towel off Yukimura's neck, and carefully dried his hair.

"We have Kazuya anyway!"

Yukimura Seiichi, who is taken care of very well by Tokugawa Kazuya in life, naturally acts coquettishly towards his lover.

Hearing this, Tokugawa Kazuya suddenly hugged Yukimura Seiichi tightly in his arms, "Yes, I will take care of everything. Seiichi just needs to do what he wants!"

Tokugawa Kazuya's heart was melted by Yukimura Seiichi's words, so much so that when he returned to the kitchen to cook, his arm waving the spatula almost left an afterimage.

Seiichi Yukimura sat on the sofa in the living room facing the kitchen door, watching TV programs while taking the time to look at Tokugawa who was busy in the kitchen.

When the agreed time came, the table was already filled with food and friends arrived one after another.

Marui Fumita, who brought a big cake with him, highly praised Tokugawa Kazuya's cooking skills, "Not bad, senior, only slightly inferior to mine."

Marui Bunta raised his little finger and made a slight gesture. Although he was in his 20s, his eyes were still clear and he looked like a college student.

"Marui Pig, you are so immodest."

Niou Masaharu, who was used to retorting to Marui Bunta, gave him a contemptuous look as he passed by.

Then the angry Marui Bunta chased Niou Masaharu into the garden and started playing around.

The quiet house was filled with lively laughter, and Seiichi Yukimura spent a pleasant day in the company of his lover and friends.

Yukimura Seiichi watched all this with a gentle smile on his face. The cold, painful images in his mind gradually faded away from him. He thought that he was very happy in this life.
