"Did I hear something terrible—" Taocheng said slowly.

Something that breaks the cognition of the three views?

"No, you didn't hear anything." Coach Ryuzaki hung up the phone blankly.

"..."

Ju Wan, Gan and the others hesitated to speak.

"Well, Coach—"

Ryuzaki Sumire sighed, and slowly raised his hand: "Don't say anything, go to the time machine first."

"Calm down, coach?!"

Ryoma remembers that Bai Lan said that the bazooka will only be effective for 5 minutes ten years later, but looking at the current posture, it is obvious that Oishi's classmate of their era will be left behind ten years later.In other words, something went wrong with this thing again.

After she hung up the customer service number of Toy City with a solemn expression, everyone gathered around and asked, "How is it?"

"Well, that's what Prynne said," Ryoma recalled and repeated, "'After all, it was produced by the Povino family, so it can't be justified if there are no problems'... It seems to have said something like that."

The Qingxue candidates looked at each other in blank dismay.

"What is Bovino?" Kaitang stared.

"do not know."

"He also said," Ryoma said slowly, "the maintenance time of the fault is generally within 24 hours, so let's not worry too much."

"How can you not worry?!"

Ryoma rubbed his buzzing ears, thinking the same in his heart.

In fact, she hid something and didn't say anything.If Dashi was exchanged to the world she had been to ten years later, she might encounter the "end of the world" that Bai Lan said, and the matter would be even more serious...

Ten years later, Dashi still doesn't know where he is. Even if he rushes over, the referee will not allow him to compete.And now, less than 15 minutes away from the registration deadline.

That is to say...

"I can't help it." Coach Ryuzaki made a decisive decision and raised his finger to - "Momoshiro, you can replace his doubles!"

"Eh?!"

"Otherwise," coach Ryuzaki showed a compassionate expression, the muscles around his mouth twitched slightly, with a smile on his face, "do you dare to let Echizen come?"

Ryoma: "..."

Unable to refute!

So, this is why she, the "hidden ace" who has always been favored, can only sit in the audience as a substitute in today's strong confrontation with Bingdi.

Unable to participate in the doubles lineup, and was restrained by the opposing powerful singles player...

Being greeted with love and affection by the seniors, Ryoma was sweating and shrank silently to the side.She would rather not have this consolation.

"Don't worry, I'll win." Bu Er always said that he was calm and sure of winning.

Ryoma replied, "I'm not worried that they will lose."

"It's just that you seem a little worried." He said briskly.

"Worried?" Ryoma raised his eyebrows, looked across the field, his eyes darted around the active red-haired boy, "I just think it looks like..."

Speaking of this, she didn't know what words to use to describe it for a moment, she paused, "It's too much trouble."

It is also a lively style of play, but Kikumaru's dance shot is actually suppressed by the opponent's turning volley, which is indeed a bit unexpected.

Is it a technical difference?To be honest, Ryoma couldn't see the difference between the two...

"It's the same type of player as Eiji." Fuji also said.

"Because they are of the same type, let's understand each other's strengths and weaknesses better, and then take targeted measures." Kawamura analyzed.

The others nodded.

"That's it."

"And another person, Renzu, his strength should not be underestimated." Gan said with a serious face, "The genius known as the Ice Emperor can also fight back with a giant bear - just restrained Taocheng's performance, which is a bit strange Wonderful."

On one side is unrestrained and aggressive stunt shots, and on the other side is the "guard" who controls the overall situation.The combination of movement and stillness does seem to be much better than the impromptu doubles combination they made at Qingxue.

Looking at it, Longma couldn't help frowning: "Do you have to jump so high..."

It's really incomprehensible that a middle school student in his teens still looks like a kid who loves trampoline.

"Using the flexibility of the body to gain an advantage is also a kind of ability." Gan Yu said earnestly.

"But, will it consume too much energy?"

"...That's right." Gan held on to his glasses, the lenses were dazzlingly white.

"So," Ryoma looked at the court thoughtfully, "the shortcomings are also obvious."

……

Sure enough, after Kikumaru and Taocheng stabilized the situation, the score difference narrowed rapidly.As Ryoma said, a style of play with too obvious advantages and disadvantages is easy to deal with.

The game is not over yet, but the balance of victory has tilted towards Qingxue.

While everyone's attention was still focused on the court, Ryoma quietly got up, walked around his teammates and walked to the top of the steps.

Although the auditorium near the side of the stadium is not full, there are not many vacancies. After all, with the foundation of more than 200 members of Bingdi, it is a bit of a headache to shout slogans.

The higher the steps, the fewer the audience, leaving only a few sparse figures.In front of the last row of railings, Ryoma slowed down, raised his head, and greeted the man.

"Aren't you going to watch the game a little closer?"

"No need, if someone finds out, it's a bit difficult to explain." The other party smiled back.

Ten years later, Dashi has changed a lot, and Ryoma almost didn't recognize it at first.At this time, she raised the brim of her hat and looked at it seriously.

Their deputy minister has always been very popular in the school, not only because of his popularity, but also because of his good appearance.According to the seniors, because he has a good temper and is not good at rejecting people, he was chased by a group of girls on Valentine's Day, and he was very embarrassed.

Now the young man standing in front of her has lost the youthful and immature face, and is more mature and stable. His hair has grown a lot, and he looks more gentle and elegant than when he was a teenager.This neat suit and uniform looks like an elite white-collar worker...

"Echizen." Dashi looked at her gently, his eyes full of nostalgia and some inexplicable complex emotions.He couldn't help sighing, before saying, "Long time no see."

"Senior Dashi...?"

He waved his hand, perhaps in order not to attract attention, walked around the railing, sat down in the last row of the stands, and signaled Ryoma to come over.

She hesitated for a while, thinking of something belatedly, while feeling awkward, she also felt a little guilty, and swallowed.

"You should already know..."

"Well, I see." Dashi nodded simply.

Ryoma moved over slowly, and sat down beside him, with his hands on his knees, and his posture was as cute as a kindergartener wearing a hard hat.

"Don't be nervous." The adult version of Dashi smiled, and his tone was very relaxed, "Just pretend that I don't know yet, it doesn't make any difference, does it?"

She nodded: "Oh."

"It's really nostalgic." He said and looked at the court again. At this time, Kikumaru was seizing the opportunity and played a beautiful moon-climbing volley in the defensive counterattack, which was greeted with applause and cheers.

Kikumaru, who won the round, was unexpectedly calm, and after high-fiving Momoshiro, he quickly whispered something.The two nodded to each other, and the tacit understanding was in their eyes, so there was no need to say much.

"It's only you who can grow up quickly in such a game..." Dashi was very emotional, and his eyes fell on the girl next to him. He pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Actually—"

"Beep—" The referee's whistle blew.

"The match is over, Qingxue Juwan and Taocheng won 6-4!"

While there was a lost silence, Qingxue's auditorium erupted in quite enthusiastic cheers.Dashi also laughed, turned his eyes to the two people in the court below, and stared at them for a while.

In the noisy background, he continued methodically: "Actually, Echizen, we haven't seen each other for a long time since you went abroad."

"...Well." Ryoma quickly analyzed.

So, she's been playing professionally?

She was about to ask, but she held back after thinking about it, and waited for the next sentence.

"I originally wanted to say it when I saw you next time, but I don't know when it will be," Dashi continued, "I don't know how you will live in the United States in the future. The situation is unstable recently. I and everyone I'm all worried..."

It seems that there is something really wrong.

Ryoma frowned slightly, and asked tentatively, "Is it serious?"

"I don't know." Dashi was stunned for a moment, shaking his head, "I thought Tezuka should know something, but I haven't been able to get in touch with him. The news said that he was playing in Europe last month. , I don’t know if you have met.”

Speaking of this, he suddenly laughed, looking at Ryoma with his chin up and his head up: "I won't say anything else, after all, it's better not to let you know about some things too early."

"...That's right." When Ryoma heard this, he knew that the topic was coming to an end. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but he also agreed with this truth, "If you know what the future is too early, you will lose a lot of fun."

"Well, is there anything else you want to ask? Maybe I can answer." Dashi said again.

Ryoma thought about it seriously for a while, then cast his eyes on the court involuntarily.The doubles No. [-] on both sides is entering the arena, and the cheerleaders of Bingdi are waving their flags to cheer again, and the momentum is very powerful.

"I won't spoil the game." Dashi reiterated. .

Ryoma nodded, and suddenly said: "So, in the 'ten years ago' you experienced, did Kikumaru-senpai and the others win this match?"

"...Huh?" He was slightly stunned for a moment, then recovered quickly, and replied, "I won."

"Oh."

"Is there a problem?" Dashi asked curiously.

"No more." Ryoma shook his head and stood up slowly, "I'm going back."

"Well, it's time to go back." Dashi said and stood up.

"Senior, don't you really want to go and have a look together?"

Dashi smiled, stretched out his hand to press her hat, and patted it lightly.

"It's up to you to do my part."

Longma faintly felt that there was something wrong with his words, suppressed the doubts in his heart, straightened his hat, and was about to go back, when suddenly he heard the young man behind him yell again.

"Dragon Horse..."

She looked back.

"What I wanted to say just now is," Dashi hesitated for a moment, and his expression quickly became firm, "Remember your own choice, and don't regret it at any time."

Although he didn't quite understand what he meant by saying this to her at this time, Ryoma nodded without thinking, and replied, "Of course."

"That's good." Dashi smiled slightly, "Go, let's work hard!"

Ryoma turned around thoughtfully, took two steps, and heard a soft "poof" from behind, which seemed inconspicuous in the earth-shattering slogan "Ice Emperor must win".

She didn't look back, she paused and continued walking, and then she heard hurried footsteps approaching quickly, as well as a familiar voice.

"Hey, Echizen! Is that you?—I'm back again?!"

Oishi, who belonged to their era, hurriedly stopped the car, still panting, and naturally raised his hand on Ryoma's shoulder: "Am I late?"

"Yes." Ryoma nodded, "However, A Tao-senpai played instead, and also won the game."

"Really?" Dashi was extremely surprised, and then let out a long sigh of relief, "That's really great! I thought...that's right!"

He remembered something, and his expression became very serious.

"Echizen, after the game, can we talk alone? I have something to tell you."

"Oh. Is it okay now?" Ryoma's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm on the surface, "I don't have a competition anyway."

"It's not convenient now." Dashi shook his head.

At this point, they returned to their teammates in the first row.When a group of people saw Dashi, their eyes lit up immediately, and they surrounded him aggressively.

"Oishi! Great, you're back!"

Kikumaru rushed to the first place, clenched his fists, and covered his head and face—"How about it, have you memorized this week's lottery winning numbers? The hope of Qing Xue's common prosperity rests on you!"

"...Who would go to see that kind of thing?!"
