must love tennis

It's a little more prosaic than the "reunion scene" she imagined.

It may be because Ryoma feels that the 14-year-old Tezuka is already mature enough. Compared with him in the future, he will not change much. In terms of temperament and appearance, he is still handsome and thin. If you have to worry about any changes, Probably a little higher.

It's not like before and after meeting other people, there is a kind of surprise and freshness when you unpack Bibi's multi-flavored beans.

And it's very strange, obviously they have experienced so many things, and they know each other well - unlike most of the other seniors who were kept in the dark, and now they don't know that Ryoma and a few others were "luckily" selected and sent to the In this era—Ryoma's first reaction when he saw him was actually so simple:

——"Do you have a letter with you?"

Ryoma looked up expectantly, and soon, an unopened bottle of carbonated soda was stuffed into his hand.

Alas, she subtly looked down at the complicated foreign language on the soda bottle, all of which were in Latin letters, probably one of French or German.

Long Ma said sadly, "I'm not thirsty yet."

If nine years later she comes across as a little girl who can get away with soda or juice, it's a flop.

"On the plane, the flight attendant delivered it." Tezuka explained.

Oh, she nodded knowingly, she must be the beautiful flight attendant sister.

He lifted up the mirror frame that had slipped because he lowered his head, and asked, "How are you doing?"

"Well, it's rather boring, so everyone is learning how to grow cactus from Senior Fuji." Ryoma shrugged, "Although I have been living in the mountains, fortunately Senior Village will bring the latest news from outside. I don't know. What are they busy with, it feels very mysterious..."

"I sent an email to Dashi, and I wanted to ask him to take care of you." Tezuka said, "However, I have been unable to contact you."

"Well, I've heard the future Vice Minister Oishi talk about this issue before." Ryoma thought thoughtfully, "But I thought we came to a different future, and the situation would be different."

He quietly looked at the seven or eight-year-old children in the stadium, and asked after a while, "Do you want to meet them?"

"Although I am very interested," Ryoma thought for a while and laughed, "but sure enough, we should keep a little more mystery. If we accidentally spoil the seniors after we go back, there may be some bad butterfly effect Woolen cloth."

Tezuka nodded, it seemed that he planned to do so, but asked her opinion again just to be on the safe side.

"What about you?" It was Ryoma's turn to ask, "Senior Fuji seems to be doing a very dangerous job, and there is no news about the others..."

"It was his choice." Tezuka thought for a while before replying, "We were all surprised when the decision was made."

"Then just looking at him like this... went alone?" Long Ma was slightly surprised.

Those war-torn places in the Middle East are obviously not so suitable for traveling alone. What's more, he didn't go there for travel. If he was not lucky enough to find Bai Lan through Pengo Li, with his temperament, even if he knew it was dangerous, he would not have gone there. Not necessarily willing to stop the action.

"He is already an adult." Tezuka said calmly, "Fuji seldom does something with determination and enthusiasm. For him, it is a big change, at least I think, not What a bad thing."

And it takes courage to make a change.

What did you think at that time?

No matter how much Ryoma guessed, he didn't know what happened in these years, so he nodded with half understanding, and said, "However, I'm not too surprised to hear that he didn't continue to play tennis."

"Ah."

"But I thought, at least Senior Fuji would like photography very much." She recalled, "There are cameras and photo albums in the carry-on luggage...they are very important things."

In this regard, Tezuka also has some opinions of his own, but he does not intend to say all of them.

He sometimes wonders, Buer doesn't seem to care about anything in particular, but he is so dedicated to photography and has collected many photos and videos. Does it mean that he is also a person who attaches great importance to the past?

Past memories, feelings, and everything seem to help him re-establish his future direction.

If you can find it without any trouble, great.

Thinking of this, Tezuka sighed slightly, looking at Ryoma who was frowning and thinking, she seemed to be a little worried: "It's been so many years, he knows it well."

"That's right, that's Senior Fuji." Ryoma nodded in agreement.

"As for everyone, they are all very good." Tezuka said, "They are all in Japan, but due to communication problems, contact has been reduced, and some unnecessary risks can also be avoided."

She snorted and asked again, "Where's Minister Tezuka?"

Ryoma's gaze unconsciously turned to Tezuka's elbow, then to his shoulder, and finally to his hand.He rested his left hand on his leg in a natural and relaxed way. It was well maintained, his fingers were slender, with well-defined joints, his nails were neatly trimmed, and he looked to have accumulated considerable strength.

"After graduating from junior high school, I went to Germany. While preparing for the professional competition there, my hand problem was completely cured." Tezuka replied methodically.

Ryoma muttered: "Well, I guessed it... I heard something from Senior."

It seems that she is completely fine, and she still wants to see the other party's Grand Slam trophy.But I also know that such a heavy thing will definitely not be carried with me. Maybe it has been sent back to my hometown, maybe it is still in Europe.

Her brief surge of curiosity quickly subsided.

"I will meet you occasionally." Tezuka continued.

"what……"

"Do you still want to continue watching?" He suddenly changed the subject.

Ryoma followed his gaze to the court, and then realized: "Oh, there is nothing in particular that I want to see. I walked around here and came here."

"Then let's go."

"Just finished the long-distance flight, is it alright?" Ryoma said so, but he acted very quickly, and stood up in the next second.

When Tezuka got up, she had to raise her neck to meet the other person's gaze, feeling deeply disappointed.

And everyone in the future... the gap is even bigger!

They left the street tennis court and returned to the side of the road, keeping just the right distance, a palm's width.

To say it is a walk is to walk along the usual way to and from school.

Ryoma didn't plan to go home. The last time she was accidentally sent over by a rocket-launcher, she had already verified her idea: her family no longer lived in Japan.She went back alone. Although she could take a look at the former residence, it was mostly covered in dust, so she didn't have that urgent desire.

Although the social order has just been gradually restored, many office workers have hurried to their posts with briefcases in their hands.People can't help but sigh, no matter what happens or how long it has been, the habits of social animals may not be changed.

Some were expressionless, some were sad, and some had smiled again.All kinds of passers-by passed by them, each rushing to the finish line.

And Ryoma followed Tezuka, and returned to the meeting point agreed with the others.

It was the nearest street park to them at that time.

They were neither the first to arrive nor the last.

The three people at Lihai University expected that it would take too much time to go back and forth to Kanagawa, so they quickly dismissed the idea, just strolled around and bought something to eat.

When Ryoma walked over, Kirihara was sitting on the swing eating skewers, and Sanada leaned against the street lamp with his eyes closed.

Nioh took a cat teasing stick and tried to tease the stray kitten hiding behind the bushes. Several children watched around curiously, chirping and asking questions.

"Brother, can you feed it something?"

"Brother, can cat sauce be touched?"

"Big brother……"

King Ni didn't expect to attract so many children by accident, and he felt very distressed when his sleeves were carefully pulled. He showed a slightly distressed smile, and stretched out the cat teasing stick: "Here, I'll play with you."

Then he withdrew his hands, stood up and walked aside, seeing Ryoma and the others coming.

Naturally, Nioh saw Tezuka beside her at the first sight, and agreed with her, it was so easy to recognize, without any difficulty.He poked Sanada next to him without thinking, but said nothing.

Sanada was startled, opened his eyes suddenly and looked over, stared at it for a while, and then said in a deep voice, "Tezuka."

"I heard that you are going back." Tezuka responded, "Before you leave, come and have a look."

Sanada nodded thoughtfully.

"You are exactly as I imagined, nothing has changed."

Tezuka replied calmly, "Actually, you too."

Kirihara bit the ball and raised his head, as if he wanted to laugh, he grinned, and the juice accidentally squeezed out.He quickly shut his mouth, swallowed gulply, and coughed continuously.

Then, the luxury car brought Atobe back.He strolled towards the interior of the park, and raised his eyebrows when he saw someone he didn't expect.

"Yo, you're here." He raised his hand, showing a very satisfied smile, "It's the same as what I judged, you really won't miss it."

No one asked him what he judged, which is also a very meaningless question.

Tezuka looked at his watch and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I heard that he was going to go home, but he is too close to his hometown..." Sanada said lightly, "Maybe he went to other places."

"Maybe I took this opportunity to go to the library and collect all the materials of everyone in the past few years." Atobe smiled with an inexplicable meaning.

He had done similar things before, but at that time he only wanted to confirm one thing - Ryoma's identity.For others, he doesn't care as much, nor does he care as much about the advantage that having this information might bring.

However, in the eyes of this kind of data madman, these materials are not of the same nature at all, and they are definitely more attractive.

"It might be scary." King Ren touched his chin and said with great interest.

"It doesn't matter." Sanada was extremely calm, "No matter how much you know, it won't have any decisive influence."

"Yeah, isn't the future always changing?" Kirihara also continued.

Longma thought for a while: "Senior Gan is still very principled, he may not check everyone's information in advance, but..."

She thought of something and looked at Tezuka.

Then, her expression gradually darkened.

"I hope it doesn't speed up the progress of his dry juice research."

Everyone: "..."

Ah, this is scary!

After another ten minutes, Gan hurried over, holding his glasses.

"Sorry, everyone," he stood still and said refreshedly, "Just now I had enough time to watch a movie that will be released in the future. The theater has just resumed operation. The atmosphere is very special, and the movie is also very interesting..."

Everyone looked at each other, wondering if they should breathe a sigh of relief.

Atobe smiled: "This is a good choice."

When they returned to the shrine, Bai Lan was already waiting for them in front of the clearing.

With his hands in the pockets of his ripped trousers, he leisurely watched the birds flying over the roof of the shrine, and whistled when he got up.

"Oh, everyone, are you ready?" Bai Lan shook his hand at them.

In this era, everyone didn't bring many things with them, so when they went back, they naturally left empty-handed. The pots of cactus that were being cultivated were left to Fuji to continue to take care of them, as a thank you gift to the Fengji Consortium.

Fuji came out of the shrine, saw Tezuka, nodded with a smile, and looked at Ryoma again: "Yukimura has a lot of things to do today, so he won't come to see you off."

"Oh, it's okay, we said goodbye before he left last time." Kirihara said quickly.

Ryoma also nodded: "Senior Yukimura is still free when he's sleeping."

After hearing this, King Ni turned around and showed her an inscrutable smile.

Bai Lan raised his hand, his clear ring flashed a light in the sun.However, before lighting it up, he suddenly patted his head and said "Yeah": "I almost forgot—Ryoma, I have something for you first."

He stretched out his hand, put a box in Longma's palm, and squeezed his left eye mysteriously: "When I go back, look for me in the old place, there is something important~"

"It's a Gacha—" She was startled and blurted out.

Then Bai Lan raised her index finger and interrupted: "Shh, I can't say it yet."

Everyone else looked at it curiously. He withdrew his hand, narrowed his eyes, and shook his fingers: "Are you ready?"

Sanada solemnly nodded to Fuji: "I have been taken care of these days."

"You're welcome."

The flame in Bai Lan's hand was ignited, and the orange light shrouded them brightly. Atobe approached Ryoma calmly, and asked casually, "Would you like to say goodbye?"

Ryoma looked back at Tezuka and Fuji, unable to see the expression changes on their faces from a distance, she only had time to wave her arms, and then the light completely covered her vision.

They are finally going home.
