[Net King] The Crown of Tennis

On the second day, the distant festival venue was already noisy, with singing and singing in the boiling pool, greetings and departures, and the sound of gongs and drums.Ah, and the aroma of barbecue that is desperately seducing the growing teenagers like an invisible hand.However, no one dares to take training lightly. It is rare for Yukimura to have a good temper without training. If they are lazy, paddling for fish and making Yukimura angry, it will be their own death.

"That's all for today's training. Free activities in the evening. It's best for two or more people to move together to avoid getting separated. You must come back before ten o'clock. If you can't do it, I don't mind having someone to practice with me for a few more nights in the next two days." Hours." Yukimura paused for a while, scanning the row of nine people in front of him, everyone bowed their heads and listened obediently, "I emphasize again, pay attention to safety, and you must carry your mobile phone with you. Above."

"Long live~" As soon as Yukimura finished speaking, Marui excitedly grabbed Kuwahara and ran to the hotel.Mao Li bouncingly followed closely behind: "Yo hoo~"

"Hehe, it can run and jump."

"That's right, it's too slack! The basic training will be doubled tomorrow."

Yukimura blinked, acquiescing to Sanada's punishment. [Okay, then I won't bother. ]

When Yukimura put on his yukata and came out, Sanada was alone in the room.Wearing a black dark-pattern bathrobe, sitting upright.When he heard the movement, he turned his head to look, and saw that Yukimura was still wearing the lavender bathrobe from last year, his earless dark blue hair was well-groomed, and his calm and pretentious face on the tennis court was also affected by his relaxation. Soften it down.

[Yukimura...]

"Where are the others?" Yukimura looked around.

"Marui and Jack have long since disappeared, and so has Mori-senpai. Nioh and Yagyu have gone somewhere, and Yanagi and Shimadzu followed Akaya to the temple fair."

"Daimonjayaki seems to start at eight o'clock, shall we go shopping too?" Yukimura opened the door, put on clogs, turned sideways and waited for Sanada.

"what."

In addition to a series of food stalls on the street, there are other shops, such as jewelry and handicrafts, and souvenirs, such as bracelets, wind chimes, folding fans, masks, small wood carvings and the like.Of course, there are always some shops for entertaining small games.

Yukimura never refuses anyone who comes.After fishing for goldfish for a while, I didn't catch anything, so I threw it aside and went to play ring-tossing.Throwing more than 20 rings to a mobile phone chain, and simply waved his hands to the shooting shop next door... For more than an hour, Sanada either stared at Yukimura seriously, or stared at the flow of people in front of the shop in a daze .There are festivals or something a year, but he and Yukimura are rarely alone.After all, Yukimura usually has to take care of his younger sister at the festivals in Kanagawa, or he just doesn't go to the tennis open.

He remembered that the last time the two of them went out was in the ranks of the ten-year-old Hakone daimyo, and they stood expectantly on the side of the street.Ashgaru holding spears, bows and arrows, fire/guns and other weapons, samurai holding a knife handle and wearing a bamboo hat, a daimyo sitting in a sedan chair, a noble lady holding a round fan, and a maid following slowly.. .... With the sound of brisk or solemn drums, actors in Edo period costumes walked by one by one.

"It's very interesting." Yukimura and he walked hand in hand and followed the parade for a long distance.

"This is the situation of 'Sanqin Confession' in the Edo period." Sanada likes to watch such a celebration of history and culture, and he is rarely able to concentrate on participating in it.

They had a great time that day, a satisfying event that only belonged to two people.Now that they are 14 years old and have known each other for ten years, they are probably used to each other's company, right?Tennis was their original bridge, but it's not just tennis between them.Yukimura thought so too, didn't he?

Yukimura threw a little fluffy dog ​​in the store, and hugged it out contentedly: "The time is coming, let's find a good place?"

"I saw a place just now, and there is a place with a relatively high terrain in the maple forest next to it."

On the opposite side of the hot spring town, Mingxing Yueshang is on fire, and a "big" character is clearly visible in the mountains at night. From a distance, it seems to be floating in mid-air, accompanied by brilliant fireworks that disappear one after another and the exclamation and cheers of the crowd. Voice.

[It's very romantic. ] Yukimura touched his chin, a little lost in thought. [According to the plot in the TV series, shouldn't we do something to sublimate the relationship between the two at this time?Like... Confession? ]

"Pfft——" Yukimura was horrified by his own thoughts, and an abrupt chuckle broke the silence and harmony between the two, Sanada turned to look at Yukimura suspiciously.

"It's okay, let's watch the fireworks." Yukimura stretched out his hand and forcibly straightened Sanada's face. [This is the first time I think about this.Confess to your lover...tennis rackets? ]

"Hehehe." Yukimura laughed again.He felt that his romantic thoughts had completely pushed some kind of boundary.

"Yukimura?"

"It's okay, I'm just very happy." Well, he should find a girl who also loves tennis in the future?After all, there are also women's singles and mixed doubles in the professional net. Maybe one day the person you hit will meet at the tennis court?Make him think... Roland Garros?Or Wimbledon?So does Melbourne.This is probably the romance that tennis players yearn for?

[It seems that it is too early to think about this. ] Yukimura shook his head, seeing that the time was almost 08:30, he planned to go back and practice his ball sense for a while: "I want to go back to the hotel, how about you?"

"It's still early, why don't you go shopping for a while?"

"I already bought a lot of things when I came to play with Yumi last time, so forget it this time."

"Then I'll go back with you."

"Don't be so strict, right? The hotel is not far from here."

"The temple fair is not very interesting, I have to go back and meditate."

"Ok."

Nioh Liusheng's side was very exciting. The two first picked out a mask in front of the mask stand for a while. Nioh put on a white fox mask for himself, and gave Liusheng a cat and mask to press on his face.

"King Ren, please don't act so ungentlemanly." Liu Sheng's words were full of helplessness.

"Puri~" Nioh uttered two inexplicable tones, and walked to the toy store next to him.

Liu Sheng took off his glasses, put on his mask and followed behind.His vision was relatively narrow, and suddenly a small snake flew into his field of vision.

"..."

"What, this doesn't work." King Ni shook the toy wooden snake on his hand, making a soft sound of wooden joints colliding.

Yagyu straightened the mask that was crooked by the fake snake, and issued a warning to Nioh: "Have you had a good time, Nioh-sama?"

"Okay, okay." King Ni put down the fake snake and searched for the next target. "This." He picked up the wooden sword and made a gesture, "Is this the case with the monsters shown on TV? The monsters and ghosts show their original shape~piyo."

[The momentum is completely ruined by the last two syllables. ] Liu Sheng, who was pointed at by the wooden sword, clutched his chest, trembling slightly. [Tsk tsk, what a gentleman I am to be able to cooperate like this. ]

"And this," King Ni put down the wooden sword, and picked up a piece of yellow paper, "Is this the talisman? Does it need to activate the spell? Then, pupina~"

[What kind of spell is this...] Liu Sheng felt that he had become the one responsible for complaining.

"Yeah, it doesn't work. Could it be that my gesture is wrong?"

[No, no, it's just that I didn't cooperate. ]

"Then, puyoyi~"

[Enough is enough!Everyone else has seen it! ]

This group of Marui can be said to spend the most money.Unlike Yukimura who "challenges" game shops one after another, Marui goes to the food stalls one after another, and when he sees something he hasn't eaten, he wants one, and he has the momentum to eat the whole street.

"Hmm~ The monjayaki at this restaurant is saltier than the previous one. Did they put some minced fish?"

[Haven't you already had dinner?Bunta...] Kuwabara is a little confused how long he will eat Marui, anyway, he will be full after tasting three or four. [Is it really okay?They ate for over an hour. ]

"Wow~ This hot spring steamed bun is chestnut-flavored!"

[I finally know why there is so much money in the Wentai bag. ]

"The grilled kamaboko here is good, buy another one for Yukimura."

[It's not easy to think of Yukimura when your mind is full of food. ]

"This yakiniku restaurant should bring a copy to King Ni, so that he won't steal my cake again. Hey, Jack." Marui held the grilled kamaboko in his left hand, and the three unfinished skewers from the previous store in his right hand, so he put Handing the packaged fish cake to Kuwahara, he paid the bill himself.

[It should be said that this has been expected. ]

The trio of Liu, Shimadzu, and Kirihara is the most tiring combination.If you don't pay attention to Kirihara, you can run 30 meters away, so Yanagi and Shimadzu completely stopped thinking about playing along the way, and just stared at Kirihara to keep within a safe range of five meters.

Even so, there was an incident of "lostness" that should have happened between parents and children.

It was after the burning of the Daimonji. Shimadzu just wanted to take a photo of the shrine behind him and the character "大" in the sky, while Liu was recalling the history of the shrine.As a result, as soon as the two turned around, the junior "Little Kelp" disappeared!

fall!

Can't you stop it?

Liu immediately took out his mobile phone and called Kirihara, but he didn't answer.

"...Let's look around first."

"Ok."

At this time, Kirihara was in front of the performance stage, quite far away from the shrine.The bright explosions of the fireworks don't drown out the music here.On the stage is a graceful dancer holding a fan to the music.

"Good looking!" After the song ended, Kirihara clapped his hands and looked around, "Huh? Where are the seniors?"

Kirihara patted his head and walked in one direction, unfortunately, in the opposite direction to the shrine.Kirihara, who was getting more and more wrong as he walked, looked at the booths on both sides, but he had no impression.OK, go the other way.

Kirihara, who couldn't find his senior after wandering around, obediently took out his mobile phone: "Huh? Turn it off? Oh, I played a game in the morning." Then go back to the hotel.

So the question is, how should the hotel go?

This is a big problem for Kirihara, but there are so many chances and coincidences in life.

"Ah, it's you!"

The young man with middle-length hair who was writing something on the handbook with a pen turned around and was a little surprised when he saw Kirihara: "Huh? It's Lihai's Kirihara-kun."

"you know me?"

"The singles Sankirihara-kun of the junior high school tennis Kanto finals, isn't he?"

"That's right." Kirihara nodded triumphantly, "King Lihai's first-year Ace."

"It's amazing~ Kirihara-kun, is there any trouble?"

"This..." Kirihara scratched his head embarrassingly, "Do you know how to get to Liuyuan Hotel?"

"Hehehe." The young man didn't answer, he simply put away the account, "Let me guide Kirihara-kun."

"Thank you!" Kirihara bowed and followed behind the young man.

Kirihara, who was quiet on the road, was a little uncomfortable. He awkwardly talked to this good-natured stranger whom he met once: "Well, I don't know what to call you yet..."

"Just call me six."

"Six? That's weird."

"Occasionally, I also have the desire to be a mysterious person."

"Liu-sang, do you like tennis too?"

"like."

"I can't see it at all for the first time." After all, it is a well-dressed literary appearance, which doesn't have much to do with sports.

"You should tell Minister Yukimura about this."

"...Minister Yukimura just looks weak. He's really good at tennis!"

"That's a pity, I didn't get to see Minister Yukimura's demeanor."

"Hey, because our Lihai University is too strong, we won without the minister playing."

"It's true." The young man stopped, and the Liuyuan Hotel was already close at hand, "You don't need me to lead the way here, do you?"

"Yeah, thank you Liusang!"

"Come on, Kirihara-kun." The young man stroked Kirihara's messy black hair lightly, turned and left.

"?"

Yukimura, who was at the door of the hotel, saw the familiar figure approaching and immediately went out and hooked him by the shoulders to lead him into the room, and took out his mobile phone with his left hand to contact Liu.

[Lian Er, Chi Ye has already returned, so there is no need to look for it.Um. 】

The author has something to say:

The type Yukimura likes is healthy people, this should be an idea born after being hospitalized.Health includes two levels: physical health and mental health.Maybe he hopes to have a partner who understands his ambition and mood and guides him to a positive, relaxed and happy side.

The first day of the new year, happy new year, I wish you all the best~
