Echizen's Young Taming Project [Comprehensive]

After the day's competition is over, the finals of the Metropolitan Conference will not start until next week, so everyone packed up their things and went back to their respective homes.

Echizen Rinko will fly to Kyushu this afternoon, because there is a client's case to discuss, so after hearing what she said, Echizen Nanjiro also proposed to go with him.

It is said that it is to spend the wedding anniversary, but the specific estimate is only known to him.

And Ryuzaki Nanako is also not at home after this morning because she is going to go camping with her classmates in the school club, so only Echizen Ryoma is left in the Echizen family today.

The Echizen boy didn't know how to cook, so he chose to eat McDonald's with Takeshi Momoshiro when he was the only one at home.

The boy from Taocheng, who was hungry just after the game, expressed his pleasure.

"Echigan!"

After the two arrived at McDonald's, they waited in line to buy hamburgers and fries. When they were about to arrive, Echizen Ryoma's shoulder was suddenly patted: "Long time no see!"

"...It's you." Echizen Ryoma was taken aback by the opponent's slap, and turned around, only to find that it was a guy he knew.

Next to him was an unknown person, but it was not within his consideration.

Takeshi Momoshiro felt curious, and patted his junior on the shoulder: "Echizen, who are they?"

"Ah..." Echizen Ryoma thought for a while, trying to match the boy in front of him with his name.

Seeing this, the boy scratched his head helplessly: "I'm Shinji Koganei, my name shouldn't be hard to remember, right?"

"... just remembered." Echizen Ryoma didn't show any guilt on his face.

Shinji Koganei also sighed, and began to introduce the people around him: "This is Rinnosuke Mitobe, and we are all first-year students of Seirin High School."

"I didn't expect Echizen to have friends from high school students!" Hearing what the other party said, Takeshi Momoshiro also opened his mouth in surprise, and at the same time introduced himself: "I'm Takeshi Momoshiro, a second-year student at Youth Academy."

"..."

Rinnosuke Mitobe looked at Takeshi Momoshiro and nodded slightly, but he didn't speak, which made him look at Shinji Koganei in surprise: "This is him?"

"He doesn't like to talk much."

Koganei Shinji shrugged, and under the eyes of his companion, he said, "Ah, he said that the person in front has paid the bill, and it's your turn."

"Oops!"

After being reminded like this, Takeshi Momoshiro realized that the person in front of him had already left with a plate, and quickly greeted them both, and started buying his favorite hamburger and coke.

Because the four people lined up next to each other, and there were two familiar guys inside, they ended up sitting together.

"So you, Taocheng, belong to the school team of Qingxue Tennis Club!"

Shinji Koganei knew something about it because he had played tennis. He said that the sportswear styles of Takeshi Momoshiro and Ryoma Echizen looked familiar: "Echizen is indeed very good. The first grade Already on the school team."

"It looks like you didn't use your full strength before, did you?"

Hearing this, even Takeshi Momoshiro became curious: "Echizen, have you ever played with Koganei?"

"Ah... I did." Recalling the encounter with Koganei Shinji shortly after returning to Japan, Echizen Ryoma nodded: "I didn't use all my strength."

When he fought Koganei Shinji back then, he used his right hand, and indeed he didn't use all his strength.

Koganei Shinji was not annoyed by Echizen Ryoma's statement, but instead laughed happily: "I just said Echizen, you are really strong!"

"Next week's finals, you all have to work hard!"

"Well, we will!" Momoshiro Takeshi hooked Echizen Ryoma's neck and said so.

Mitobe Rinnosuke, who had been silent all this time, suddenly looked at his companion without moving, and Koganei Shinji, who was about to say something, suddenly looked out the window, and when he saw the dark and low clouds in the sky, he also scratched in distress. He scratched his hair: "Oops, it looks like it's going to rain."

"Echizen, Taocheng, do you have umbrellas?"

After Momoshiro Takeshi heard this, he looked at his elementary school brother, and Echizen Ryoma, who caught his gaze, also shook his head: "I didn't bring it."

"I do not have either."

Because it was sunny early this morning, none of the four of them brought an umbrella. After reaching a consensus, everyone decided to rush home as soon as possible before it rained.

Carrying the finished dishes to the recycling place, the teenagers bid farewell to each other at the entrance of McDonald's. Takeshi Momoshiro and Echizen Ryoma trotted away until they reached the usual fork in the road and left in two different directions. go.

Not long after Echizen Ryoma stepped into the house, it began to rain cats and dogs outside, obviously it was still such a good day tomorrow.

The sky outside was darker than usual. Hearing the sound of the rain, Echizen Ryoma watched TV in the living room. At this time, no one was at home except him, only Carubin was with him. It was inexplicably deserted. .

"Meow~" Seemingly aware of his master's mood, Karubin, who was lying on Echizen Ryoma's lap, rubbed his head into his arms again.

The boy gently patted Karubin's head, then scratched its chin, and let it stretch its limbs contentedly, making a "gurgling" sound.

After watching the tennis match broadcast for a while, Echizen Ryoma looked at the clock on the wall, and was about to go upstairs to wash and sleep, but the moment he stood up, there was a thunder in the sky, and at the same time, the house became a mess. dark.

"... tripped?" Echizen Ryoma comforted the frightened Karubin in his arms, and then prepared to take a look at the electric box at home.

But just as he walked out of the living room, there was a knock on the door over there.

Echizen Ryoma hesitated for a moment, but decided to go to the door first, after all, the knock on the door sounded a little anxious.

It might be Nanako Ryuzaki who came back suddenly, but maybe she forgot to bring the key, because she is always confused about this aspect.

However, what he saw after opening the door was not what he had just thought.

Standing at the door was Anna Kushina, and everyone from Barbara, even Zhou Fangzun, who was rarely seen, was there, but the young man who was always smiling was not there.

"Come in and talk."

Seeing their dignified faces, Echizen Ryoma could only invite them into the house, and when the little girl passed by him, he could still see the red corners of the other's eyes through the light of lightning.

With the help of Fujishima Kosuke, the Echizen House was successfully powered on again, and a group of people sat in the lit living room, with expressions that reminded Echizen Ryoma of what happened this morning.

The ominous premonition that had been forgotten came to mind again.

"Did something happen?" Echizen Ryoma's voice was a little deeper than before.

Anna Kushina, who had been sitting quietly all this time, had reddened eye sockets under the light, but she didn't let the tears flow down: "...Tatara, it's gone."

She said no more, but Echizen Ryoma instantly understood what she meant.

The boy couldn't help but frowned: "When did it happen?"

"This afternoon." Kusanagi Izumo hadn't smoked in front of Kushina Anna for a long time, but now he lit one. It seemed that he was in a very bad mood, but he didn't show it.

"We just came out of the hospital and came straight over."

"...do you know who did it?"

Izumo Kusanagi didn't speak, but looked at Misaki Hatta behind him, who also took out a camera from his bag, which was the one used by Takata Tara to shoot on weekdays.

The baby-faced young man recalled ten bundles of Tatara's last recorded video, and there was nothing in the living room except for the sound of the video and the sound of breathing.

Echizen Ryoma looked at the same ten bundles of Tatara at the beginning, and was shot by the silver-haired boy who suddenly appeared behind him, and saw the boy with a distorted smile point the camera at himself.

"...I am the Colorless King..."

These words echoed several times in Echizen Ryoma's mind, and he remembered what the voice said when he rejected the colorless kingship before.

【You will regret this! 】

Although I don't know how the colorless kingship knows, it seems that it does know that such a thing will happen.

Do you regret it?

Thinking back to Tokuta Tara, Echizen Ryoma did have some regrets, but rather than regretting, he wanted to smash the colorless kingship.

Looking at Echizen Ryoma who fell silent, Kusanagi Izumo continued: "We are here this time mainly for Anna."

"Izumo..." Anna Kushina raised her eyes, causing the young man to give her a reassuring look.

"I hope you can help Anna take a leave of absence. During this time, she will stay with us until the colorless king is found."

This is what Anna Kushina wishes, and it is also what everyone in Barbara wishes.

Moreover, her ability could not be more suitable for this aspect.

Echizen Ryoma nodded, he didn't ask unnecessary things, such as why they didn't go by themselves.

He knew that during this period of time, Barbara would not focus on things other than tracking down the murderer.

"I see. I will also pay attention to Tokyo. If there is any news about him, I will inform you as soon as possible."

"Then I will trouble you, Ryoma."

Zhou Fangzun burned his own cigarette together with the cigarette butt between his fingers, then heaved a sigh of relief and stood up: "Let's go."

"Yes!"

Their king gave the order, so everyone will not disobey. Echizen Ryoma carried Karubin and sent them to the door until their figures disappeared at the corner of the gate outside the courtyard.

"The colorless king..."

In fact, there was another reason why the barbarians came to Echizen Ryoma, but in the end they still didn't ask.

At the scene where Toku Tara was killed, there was a photo left, whether it was intentionally or unintentionally pulled down.

The person on the photo is none other than Echizen Ryoma himself.
