Nohara Shinnosuke

"Ryoma! We're going to be late! Isn't there a quiz today?" Lunzi patted the quilt to wake Ryoma up. Looking at the cute sleeping Xiaoxin, he couldn't bear it, so he could only push Ryoma to this task.

Longma yawned sleepily, then lifted Xiaoxin to the sink.Helped squeeze the toothpaste, stuffed it into the hands of Xiaoxin who was a little confused, and the two of them brushed their white corn teeth up and down.The movements are neat.But when they rinsed their mouths at the last step, there was not much tacit understanding, one spit and one gulp.As for who swallowed the toothpaste, it should be clear from Ryoma's depressed "idiot" voice, right?

Echizen Minamijiro crossed his legs and sat at the dining table looking like a ruffian, flipping through the newspaper.

"What, what, three kidnappers in prison were poisoned and died...for no reason..." Minami babbled, and Nanjiro secretly glanced at Rinko's wife and Nanako in the kitchen, but turned to the other side - pornographic magazines.

Taking a closer look at the large photo of the murdered criminal on the cover, it is obvious that the three of them are the kidnappers who kidnapped Xiaoxin and Miyuko Nakamura last time.

Since Ryoma didn't read newspapers often, and because he was in a hurry, he didn't pay attention to this strange incident.So hugging Xiaoxin who was dressed in kindergarten clothes, the two drank a piece of toast, saved up two bottles of milk, and hurried to the car.

Just because he didn't notice, doesn't mean others won't notice.

Atobe, Yushi and others who have already investigated Xiaoxin have long been aware of the fact that Xiaoxin was almost kidnapped, and they recognized the photos of the three kidnappers.

"It's really strange, isn't it? Atobe?" Yushi pushed his glasses, thinking deeply in his eyes.And Atobe didn't speak, just supported the tear mole under the corner of his eye with one hand, and knocked on the table with the other, his eyes were sharp, piercing like a steel drill.

Staring at the photo and the words "death by poisoning" without saying a word, the usual smile on Buer's face has subsided a lot, and the cold water-blue light is fleeting.Then he greeted the worried Yuta to have breakfast.

In the Qingxue tennis team office, Tezuka with a cold face put down the newspaper, stood up, and leaned over to look out the window.

School is a place where rumors spread quickly.Therefore, Ryoma also learned about this during practice.Seeing that the other people were full of worries, he suppressed a trace of confusion and anxiety in his heart, and said calmly, "He was hit by mistake. Those people were not originally targeting him."

Shengxiong patted his chest to comfort himself, and smiled unnaturally, yes.

Horio pouted his nose high, and boasted with his hips on his hips. If he had been there at that time, those kidnappers would not have dared to do anything.

But no one paid attention to him, especially Ryoma, who was practicing with careful thought. "Each forward!"

Ryoma stopped his swing and turned to look at the minister who was looking at him thoughtfully. "Minister, what's the matter?"

Tezuka looked at the people on the training ground with his eyes burning like a torch, and reminded him indifferently and with concern. "Be optimistic about Xiaoxin for a while." After thinking for a while, he added: "Just in case...you can contact me if you have any questions."

"...Yes."

Looking at Tezuka strangely, Ryoma was puzzled.When did the minister and Xiaoxin get so close?

Tezuka, who was looked at unnaturally, still couldn't help but stare at him: "Practice!!" "Yes!"

Ryuzaki clapped his hands and gave a vigorous drink: "All gather."

"Now let's explain the arrangement of the Kanto Competition." Ryuzaki took out the list and handed it to Gan.

"Chengcheng Shonan is not to be underestimated! Although we won the match against Ice Emperor last time, we are still far away from the real victory, so we should not take it lightly!"

"Yes!!"

"Sogan and Momoshiro for the first doubles match, Kikumaru and Oishi for the second doubles match. Singles Kaido, Echizen, Fuji..."

The whole arrangement lasted at least 15 minutes.

Ryuzaki took a sip of water, looked at the silent Tezuka, sighed, and continued: "One more thing, that is, Tezuka-san will leave Japan for treatment in Germany in three days..."

The noise suddenly disappeared, and everyone's faces were sad.After Tezuka looked around for a week, he said, "During my absence, Oishi will take over as the minister. Don't let yourself be idle just because I leave. I will contact Oishi to find out about your situation." After a pause, his tone was much softer.

"I'll be in Germany waiting for news of your win."

"Hmm...Minister..." Kikumaru murmured sadly, Oishi patted him on the shoulder.

Ryoma stood behind, lowered his head in a daze, and clasped his hands.

The sun is lazily shining on the irises, warm and pleasant, and the water droplets on the petals are overflowing.Even Yukimura, who was watering, felt happy.

Sanada, who was silent with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes and asked him in a low voice. "The surgery date is approaching." "Ah, yes."

"...are you worried?"

"Hehe, isn't that natural? But..." Yukimura's beautiful face was smiling as he gently stroked the silky smoothness of the petals.

"You have to face it, don't you? If you don't try it, maybe the only chance will slip away..."

"..."

Ryoma put the tennis bag on his back, walked towards Tezuka, stared at him, but didn't say a word.It was Tezuka who spoke first.

"Echizen, don't blindly pursue a way that doesn't suit you. Maybe you are closer to that than me." What it is, he didn't say clearly, but Ryoma knew it in his heart.

"But if you stay on your own and don't change your approach, you will never be able to move forward, let alone defeat me."

Ryoma remained silent, but his hands gripped the strap tightly.

After a while, he raised his head, stared at the other party with piercing eyes, and his tone was as arrogant as ever: "Next time! I will definitely defeat you!"

At night.Echizen House:

Uncle Pervert doesn't know where to hide to read bad books, Nanako and Rinko's mother prepare dinner in the kitchen, and Ryoma goes to take a shower.

Xiaoxin, who was staying in the living room, received a call looking for Ryoma without accident, and the other party was Tezuka who was about to bid farewell to Japan.

"Hello? Who are you looking for?"

"...Xiaoxin." "Oh~~I know~~You are the big brother of the refrigerator~~"

"...Hi, please help me find Echizen."

Licking the crumbs on his hands, Xiaoxin sat on the sofa with the phone between his hands. "Brother is taking a bath, you can tell me."

"You tell him for me that my flight is leaving tonight due to an emergency."

flight?Xiaoxin, who caught the key word, had a flash of inspiration: "Are you flying?"

The other side was taken aback by the excited voice, and it took a long time to reply: "No, I haven't boarded the plane yet."

Xiaoxin blushed, and asked coyly, "Is the sister there beautiful?"

elder sister?The older sister on the plane knew it all—"Ah..." Tezuka was silent and gave an ambiguous answer.Is it possible to say that you are beautiful, and you will appear to be very ugly?

After flirting with herself for a while, Xiaoxin began to ask questions, "Where are you going?"

"Germany."

"Is it far?" "Yes."

Xiaoxin didn't know what to think of, and asked worriedly: "Can't we see each other again?"

The other party obviously didn't expect the child to ask such a question, and he was stunned, ignoring the strangeness in his heart, and answered him. "No, I will go back to Japan, I just have to do something there." Yes, as long as he has a good hand, he will come back, enter the national competition with Qingxue, and then - win.

The relieved voice of the child on the other end of the phone came, and Tezuka felt his heart soften.Unexpectedly, in the next second, the other party said: "I will wait for the big brother to come back, and I will show you my new elephant dance to welcome you!!" The tone was very excited, but Tezuka felt a little cold.He recovered his voice, and politely refused: "Don't bother." "No trouble, I like big brother very much."

"...Thank you..." He is very grateful for his love, but that is still not sensitive. "You don't have to be too polite."

Seeing that the elder brother showed no sign of letting go, Xiaoxin, who rarely wanted to express his regret and love, looked at the gold bear biscuits that had been treasured for a long time in the snack cabinet, gritted his teeth, and said generously: "Then, when you come back, we will eat together Bear biscuits?"

This cannot be refused, and it is better than that dance, Tezuka agreed.Even he didn't realize that a warm smile had already occupied the tip of the iceberg on his face.

The author has something to say:
