must love tennis

The return trip was another twelve-hour long-distance flight.As soon as she landed, Longma's mobile phone received a text message from her cousin. She only had time to say hello to her seniors, and hurried home with her luggage.

After being away from home for a few days, she couldn't imagine how the new gastronomic brothers would get along.Although I know that they are not bad guys, but the destructive power of tennis is too amazing to be underestimated...

Nanako only sent one sentence: "The family is in danger, my sister will return soon!"

Ryoma stood at the door of the house, heaving a sigh of relief.

From the outside, the backyard of the temple is quiet, and nothing can be seen for the time being.She took out the key to unlock it, carefully pushed open the courtyard door, and slowly looked inside.

The yard is also very quiet, with small bridges, flowing water, and evenly cut lawns, everything remains exactly the same as before leaving.

Ryoma walked along the stone road to the front of the house, the door was open and ajar.She lifted the box and entered the entrance, took a deep breath, and said to herself that I have never experienced anything, the worst is that the house collapsed?

——What's more, the house looks fine now.

There was only Byodoin Hoho in the room, sitting cross-legged in front of the TV, changing channels boredly.

"Little girl is back?" Hearing the sound of Longma coming in, he greeted lazily without looking back.

"Where's my dad?" Ryoma stopped and looked around.

"He went to do the formalities for you."

Ryoma nodded thoughtfully.

If the brothers got into a heated fight at home—usually a tennis showdown—the old man would wave his hand nonchalantly, say "that's the kind of energy that teenagers should have," and then sneak out to avoid the limelight when he got a chance. I, a retired person, was also dragged in by them to hurt my muscles and bones.

She sighed, "So what happened?"

Fenghuang was silent for a while, coughing dryly: "It's nothing, we haven't seen each other for a long time, I'm a little excited, I couldn't help but exchange ideas."

Ryoma stared at him vigilantly for a while, and the latter's calm expression made her even more suspicious.

"Hey, let me tell you, you won't call Kazuya again..."

"Uh-huh," Fenghuang quickly interrupted before she could finish speaking, "It's probably his problem, you go and have a look. Uh, it's right in front of the clock tower."

After speaking, he fell silent again.

It's becoming more and more suspicious that this fearless guy would be so evasive.

Ryoma first took the luggage upstairs and put it away, leaving only a bamboo knife behind, and set off nervously to the backyard.Fenghuang caught a glimpse of the knife in her hand, showing a subtle expression that wanted to laugh but couldn't.

"There's no need to be so exaggerated..." He was still envious of this retractable bamboo knife, and followed her to the yard, unable to restrain himself from muttering a few words.

Sure enough, everyone was in the backyard.

Nanako was the first to see Ryoma approaching, and quickly waved to her: "Ryoma, you are finally back!"

As she spoke, she pointed to a slowly rotating... black hole directly above the field. !

Is it really a black hole?

Ryoma was dumbfounded: "What is this..."

"Just now, Kazuya had a life-and-death duel with Phoenix," Irie Kanata said slowly, "In the middle of the fight, Phoenix suddenly used a stand-in attack—"

"Wait, wait? What substitute attack?"

Oni Jujiro replied in a low voice, "Skeleton pirates from another dimension."

Ryoma: "No, I don't understand at all."

"Kazuya summoned a black hole to resist—"

"It really is a black hole!"

After being amazed, Ryoma calmed down and walked around the court, looking at it while walking.

The pure black vortex was suspended in mid-air in a peculiar way, and the air near it was folded and twisted, as if to absorb all the light.

Faced with this phenomenon beyond scientific common sense, the silver-haired Brother Moonlight calmly sat on the side of the court and tidied up his racket netting, while his partner Mori Kosaburo leaned on a pillar beside him, and waved to his sister with a smile.

"It's amazing, isn't it? We've already studied it, and it really exists."

"..." Ryoma said, "Is there any influence?"

Molly shook his head.

"I don't know."

"I can't play anymore." Ochi Moonlight said, his voice was a little low and hoarse, "When the tennis ball gets close, it will be sucked in."

"And disappear?" she guessed.

"……maybe."

Tokugawa Kazuya stood silently under the bell tower, his lips pursed tightly, and he seemed slightly disturbed by the situation caused by his mistake.Irie Kanata gently pressed his arm to show comfort.

"It's not a big problem, wait for Uncle Nanjiro to come back—"

Nanako said anxiously, "What if the aunt came back first?"

"..."

Everyone fell into dead silence.

In front of Rinko Echizen, even Mr. Nanjiro, a world-class tennis player, can only be taught by her pointing his nose.She cares more about the normality of life than tennis.

Longma could only dial the phone number of the owner of the toy city.

"Hello, Bai Lan—"

"Sorry, I'm playing chess with Xiaozheng, wait a minute!" There was an overly cheerful voice from the other end, followed by a long blank.

Click, click, Bai Lan returned to the microphone: "Hello, little dragon horse, what's wrong today?"

"They made a black hole in my house, is there a solution?"

"Oh, black hole—" Bai Lan's voice disappeared suspiciously for two seconds, "Wait, what did you say?"

Bai Lan took a group of after-sales staff to visit the temple of the Echizen family, and when they finished their troubles, they just stayed to finish their meal.

When Long Ma sent them out, Bai Lanyu patted her on the shoulder earnestly, and said in a sigh: "Little girl, there is a long way to go."

"Who did this?!"

She held back, but still couldn't hold back, and glared.

With a smile, Bai Lan took Ryoma's shoulders familiarly and led her to the side of the road.After he got away from the brightly lit house, he said, "In two days, bring Gachas No. [-] and No. [-] to my place to sign a contract."

She was taken aback: "Sign the contract?"

"It's not the agreement to become an older brother." Bai Lan blinked her left eye at her. "It's to let them return to their normal identities and return to the original era—to be precise, it's the 'gacha egg termination' procedure."

Ryoma didn't speak, he looked at the ring on her hand again, stretched out his hand and flicked it lightly: "Huoyan's share is full, they should go back."

"……I understand."

She nodded and asked again, "Do they all know?"

Bai Lan smiled calmly: "I have explained to all the gashapons and family members who sold it, don't worry, there is a confidentiality agreement, and there will be no problems."

"Oh……"

Ryoma couldn't tell what it felt like.

Obviously, she should be happy for them, and she doesn't have to worry about making choices anymore, and she should breathe a sigh of relief... But for some reason, she felt a little lost in her heart.

Is it because of separation?

She suddenly remembered that Tokugawa Kazuya stood aside just now in a depressed state, probably not just because he got into trouble, but because he expected what was about to happen, so he didn't know how to face himself.

When Ryoma returned home, Kanado Irie was washing the dishes, and Mori was also eager to help share the housework. The two had a slight dispute over the ownership of a rag.

When Iri saw Ryoma, he let go of his hand, turned around and asked, "Do you have something to tell me?"

She nodded, trying to be as casual as possible, and said the time to go to the toy store to terminate the contract.

"Well, I heard from Bai Lan before that the time has been set?" The actor paused slightly, his tone and expression remained unchanged, and he looked very calm.

"Okay, I'll pack my luggage later."

Tokugawa Kazuya was also sitting in the living room, no doubt listening to their conversation.

But in the following time, neither of them mentioned this topic again. They chatted about life-related topics as usual, trying to pretend that nothing happened.

The newcomer Ochi Moonlight is also cold-tempered and doesn't like to talk. Oni Jujiro's presence often gives people a sense of oppression due to his height. As for Phoenix, Ryoma always thinks about the glory of smashing the backyard wall when he first arrived. Records, brooding, and hostility towards him has never been put aside.

However, now that there is Mori Kosaburo, there is no need to rely on Irie's support, and the atmosphere is much more active than before.

Before going to bed, Irie came over with a saxophone and blew a goodnight song to Ryoma.Karubin dragged his tail and walked around his feet, full of interest in the shiny instrument, tried to stretch out his paws, but Ryoma held him down and hugged him.

He learned a new piece this time, but Ryoma still didn't recognize it.

After blowing, Irie suddenly sighed, showing a slightly sad expression: "I suddenly thought of a very sad thing."

Ryoma tilted his head: "Huh?"

She was a little nervous, afraid that he would suddenly bring up sensational topics.

"I was thinking," Irie Kanata said slowly, "The next time I see you, Ryoma..."

"Ten years from now."

Long Ma froze for a moment, then nodded hesitantly: "Yes."

"In that case, won't you become a sister?" Brother Zuoduo said sadly.

"..."

Long Ma was enlightened and was reminded: Yes!

"Kazuya will definitely be very sad." Irie Kanata continued, "He has always wanted to have a younger brother or younger sister—he likes you very much."

However, they are from ten years later.

In the world ten years later, these brothers are younger than me...

Ryoma was in a complicated mood, touching the drinking cup, feeling at a loss for the first time about this complicated relationship.

……

—Maybe she was too obvious.

When they met again, Taocheng also felt it keenly.

He has always been a delicate person, with a completely different inside from his carefree appearance.

"I heard," he pondered for a while, then said calmly, "Echizen, your brother has already terminated the contract, right?"

Longma glanced at him indifferently, put the banknotes in, took out the ticket, and replied, "I still have a lot of brothers."

"Cough, I know, I mean the two we are familiar with..." Taocheng scratched her cheeks embarrassingly, cautiously, as if afraid of poking something in her, "So, how is the family?"

She listened, her expression became subtle, and the corners of her lips curled up.

"Yes, a few days ago, I almost got into trouble, but now I am much more obedient."

"Be obedient...obedient?" Taocheng's voice trembled slightly.

"Well," Ryoma nodded earnestly, "Even though Big Brother Ghost looks fierce, he is surprisingly kind. He likes to go for a walk with Karubin in his arms."

Taocheng nodded: "Understood, He Haitang's one."

"Byodoin Phoenix..." She reluctantly mentioned the scariest guy, and frowned, "Although it's hard to deal with, but Kantogo secretly told me the solution to deal with this kind of person before leaving."

"What is it?"

"Zou Togo said that he was most afraid of his sister crying."

"..."

Taocheng gave a thumbs up: "Wonderful."
