After Kusanagi Izumo's birthday party, it was past ten o'clock, almost eleven o'clock.

Kusanagi Izumo glanced at the people who were lying on the sofa after drinking, and then looked at the Western clock in the corner. He made a suggestion to Echizen Ryoma: "Today is too late. Otherwise, you will Don't go back, let's go tomorrow morning?"

Echizen Ryoma thought for a while, and nodded in agreement with the proposal, so he called home, and it was Echizen Minamijiro who answered the phone.

After hearing that Echizen Ryoma wanted to spend the night outside, Echizen Nanjiro recalled his son's interpersonal interactions after he returned to Japan.

After thinking about it carefully, I found that except for occasionally going out to play tennis, he was basically squatting at home, and he and Echizen Rinko dragged him out several times when he went out.

And with Echizen Ryoma's temperament, emmmmm...

Could it be that at the beginning of school today, I made new friends?

"I'll tell Rinko, so you can rest assured." The Echizen family has always been free-range for their children, and Echizen Ryoma, who grew up in the United States, also believes that he can take good care of himself.

So, Echizen Nanjiro thought for a while, and suddenly whistled a little frivolously: "Youth, you don't have to make a new girlfriend and forget about me as an old man."

"..."

Echizen Ryoma cut off the communication at that moment after listening to the other party's completely unscrupulous words.He raised his head expressionlessly, and asked Kusanagi Izumo: "Where do I live tonight?"

"There's a spare room upstairs, but it's not cleared."

Kusanagi Izumo brought Echizen Ryoma to his temporary residence tonight, and as soon as he turned on the light, the boy was startled by the indoor scene——

The things in the room are all in warm colors, and most of them are red or similar, orange red, pink and other colors, and there are a lot of lace on the layout.

It looks like this room is for girls.

Meeting Echizen Ryoma's suspicious eyes, Kusanagi Izumo shrugged and explained: "Originally this room was prepared for Anna, but Anna doesn't want to live in this place at all."

"Then where does she live?"

Kusanagi Izumo pointed to the closed door opposite, Anna was sleepy before, so Zhou Fangzun took her back to the room to sleep first: "Here."

"Anna is living with Zun now."

"..."

Echizen Ryoma suddenly fell into a mysterious silence, and after a long time, he slowly opened his mouth: "She has a lot of trust in Mr. Zhou Fang."

"Rather than trust, it's better to say liking." Izumo Kusanagi shrugged. Even though the boy often did things that gave him headaches, he had to admit that he was a good boy.

"Anna likes red, and Zun is our king."

Kusanagi Izumo didn't say anything more, although they didn't tell Echizen Ryoma exactly what the king was, but he thought that the other party should know more than all of them imagined.

The young man patted Echizen Ryoma's head lightly, and smiled: "Good night, have a good dream."

"...Good night." The boy touched the place where Kusanagi Izumo had photographed him, and after closing the door behind him, he went to the bed and sat down.

Echizen Ryoma sat for a while, went to the bathroom for a simple wash, then tidied up and lifted the quilt, fell asleep on the bed, and closed his eyes.

After a long absence, Echizen Ryoma once again dreamed of the future him, the future Barbara and his party, and a brown-haired boy whom he had never seen before.

In the dream, Echizen had just walked into Barbara's bar. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the young man sitting next to Kushina Anna, and immediately raised his eyebrows: "Sawada, when did you come back?"

"Just arrived in Japan this morning."

Sawada Tsunayoshi nodded to him with a smile, stood up and shook hands with Echizen: "Long time no see, Ryoma."

"Long time no see." Echizen and Sawada Tsunayoshi looked about the same height now, but in fact the other was a year or two younger than him.

Of course, Echizen Ryoma became king earlier than Sawada Tsunayoshi.

"How are you doing in Italy?"

Through Echizen's eyes, Echizen Ryoma saw the brown-haired boy named Sawada Tsunayoshi spread his hands, and said in a helpless tone, "Aside from having to face a lot of things every day, it's not bad."

"But... the most important thing is that everyone can be together, which is better than anything else."

"You are so easy to please."

Sawada Tsunayoshi shrugged: "Everyone says so."

……

It was already morning when the boy woke up, he grabbed the terminal in a daze and took a look, and then his cat eyes, which were about to narrow again, widened in an instant.

"Oops--!"

Echizen Ryoma rushed into the bathroom in a panic, took a few handfuls of water to wash his face, and pulled a towel to dry himself.

After washing up, he immediately changed his clothes and rushed outside.

Because there was stock in the bar today, a group of people who were drunk yesterday were picked up by Izumo Kusanagi to work early in the morning.

Seeing Echizen Ryoma's hurried appearance, Kusanagi Izumo, yesterday's birthday star and the owner of the bar, said, "Don't worry, it's probably too late to catch the bus back to Tokyo."

"Ten Beam, you take two people and drive this little guy back."

Shifu Tatara, who was helping to carry the boxes, made a standard military salute: "Understood, sir!"

"That's why I'm not a child!" Echizen Ryoma glared at the man who deliberately poked his wound, but he didn't reject the man's kindness.

It is really bad behavior if you are late for the first day of school.

Echizen Ryoma followed Tokuta Tara, Hatta Misaki, and Kammoto Ryoo to the garage behind the house, and by the way witnessed the "true face" of Barbara——

The Barbara organization is a bit different from Echizen Ryoma's imagination, but it can be said that there is no difference.

In the dream, what Echizen Ryoma saw through Echizen's eyes was an organization that could be said to be noisy, but warm as a family.

But after really getting in touch with them, Echizen Ryoma discovered that Barbara was more than that.

When they are warm, they are really warm, and when they fight, they can be said to be unambiguous.

Echizen Ryoma didn't have much sympathy for the gangsters who came to find fault early in the morning and were beaten up by the baby-faced Misaki Hatta and the very flexible fat man Riko Kammoto.

After all, it was the other party who came to the door first, so it was only natural to fight back here, but it was purely a matter of strength to be beaten up there.

Of course, the few tennis balls he pumped cannot be ignored.

"Get in the car, Ryoma, we'll take you to school right now."

After closing the car door, Echizen Ryoma glanced at the group of people lying on the ground again: "Aren't you going to clean it up?"

"Someone will come to clean it later." Tokuta Tara smiled, as if he was talking about a pile of garbage instead of a person.

Kamamoto Ryoo, who was sitting in the driver's seat, turned around: "Where is it?"

"Tokyo, Youth Academy Junior High School."

Echizen Ryoma replied, and Misaki Hatta, who was actually a bodyguard and part-time thug in the passenger seat, also called up the navigation.

As soon as the navigation was completed, Kamamoto stepped on the accelerator and drove quickly towards the middle part of the Youth Academy in Tokyo.

It wasn't until the car stopped at the school gate that Echizen Ryoma put on a pale face, held his tennis bag with one hand, covered his mouth with the other, and got out of the car impatiently and staggeringly.

After a long delay, he finally said, "...I want to complain to you."

Completely adapted to the first driving method - Shishu Tara: "At least I got to school safely, don't worry about the details?"

Fully adapted to the driving style No. [-] - Hatta Misaki: "Huh? Isn't this just to send you, kid, so you don't be late!"

The chief culprit of the racing car—Rifu Kamamoto, looked at the boy's pale face, and scratched his head: "...is it fast?"

Echizen Ryoma was about to stare at the faces of the three people in front of him, but as they said, there was nothing wrong with arriving at school on time.

"...I'm going to the classroom!"

"have a nice day!"

Tokuta Tara waved to him, but the boy who had already entered the school gate stopped, turned his head and waved his hand, and then walked into the teaching building again.

"What a lovely child."

"Cut... how cute is that kid!"

The first and second periods in the morning were English classes. For Echizen Ryoma, a student who came back from the United States, it was actually a matter of listening or not, so he took out his Mandarin book to read, but the more he read, the more he felt his head hurt.

Just as he was proficient in English because he grew up in the United States, this reason also caused his difficulty in Mandarin.

Looking at the dense Japanese printed on the paper, Echizen Ryoma suddenly had the idea of ​​wanting to go back to the United States.

But this kind of thinking is only for a moment, Echizen Ryoma is not the kind of guy who will easily admit defeat.It doesn't work if it's not in tennis.

"Echizen, get up and answer my question just now."

The English teacher never expected that there would be students reading other textbooks in his class, so he clicked on the other party to answer questions.

In the end, although he had a headache in Mandarin, Echizen Ryoma still heard what the teacher said, and convinced the English teacher who met for the second time with standard fluent English.

"Cough...please listen to the class carefully next time."

"it is good……"

The daytime class came to an end, and Echizen Ryoma was also relieved. At least there was no Mandarin class today, and he could still maintain a happy mood to participate in club activities.

However, I don't know what those people in the dream will look like now...

Whether it's Anna Kushina, Barbara, or Seigaku's tennis club, these people and things that have appeared in his dreams for a long time are all very interesting to Echizen Ryoma.

In fact, Echizen Ryoma really wanted to know what was going on with these dreams he had, but without any evidence, he could only rely on his own reasoning to think about them.

Maybe it's a parallel world thing?

The boy raised the corners of his lips, and at the same time, when he sensed a tennis ball approaching, he quickly pulled out his racket and hit it back into the basket in the distance.

This move made Echizen Ryoma the focus of the members on the tennis court.

"?"

Horio Satoshi, who was still talking to his two first-year companions from the Tennis Club of Popular Science Seigaku, couldn't help covering his face: "Echizen, that's a practice for the main candidates!"

"...Accidentally." Echizen Ryoma said, and hit another ball that flew towards him into the basket on the opposite side of the field. He looked up and found Takeshi Momoshiro smiling at him.

It can be seen from the exposed teeth of his smile that he sent the two balls.

"...What did you just say?" Echizen Ryoma turned his head in a daze.

Looking at this guy who obviously didn't listen to what he said, the two-year tennis player held his breath.

"I mean! The first-year team members of Qingxue! They can only pick up the ball!"

"very noisy……"

"Hey--!"
