[Volleyball] Please, please give me a mole with tears and bright eyes!

Tokyo, the training base of the men's national table tennis team.

The gymnasium is adjusted to the most suitable temperature and humidity for the human body, and it is spectacular. The athletes on the positions set up by the table tennis tables are sweating and intertwined with the suite of crackling balls.

Coach Tsujido leaned against the fence and brushed his hair back with his eyes closed.

Well, today everyone is in a good state and very energetic.

But soon, the owner of the new footsteps interrupted his listening: "Hey, wenge! Why are you alone, Kazama?"

The black-haired coach looked helplessly at his old acquaintance Yu Hoshino, commonly known as A-Bian's former teammate of the national team, who was still chewing gum despite his age. "He went to the sports center for a meeting, what can I do to see him?" After retiring, is the sports channel commentary so idle? The coach who complained in his heart knew that the next step was definitely——

"It's alright if he's not here with you~" A-Bian and his brother placed wenge's shoulders in a friendly manner, "I haven't seen you for a long time, let's have lunch at noon, I treat you to pay the bill~"

Before dinner time, there were only a handful of customers in the izakaya. After ordering his favorite dishes, A-Bian clinked glasses with sake and wenge drinks and began to talk about business. His eyes rolled around, as if he was brewing something, but he spoke It was a very ordinary tone: "A few days ago, my mother-in-law passed away, and I went back to Kanagawa to preside over her funeral with Lord Xiao."

Master Kong's hands trembled, and he turned his head to stare at Hoshino Yu's calm face.

Of course, the mother-in-law Ah Bian was talking about was Ah Bian's mentor. Even when he first became a coach, he relied on this female athlete who erected a bronze statue with her brilliant achievements in terms of contacts.

To make a comparison, it is like a coach who single-handedly brought him up.

"...I will take time to visit the tomb whenever I have time." He said, thinking of many people who couldn't afford to wait, his heart felt heavy.

"It's okay, she won't pay much attention to these things. I just saw Lord Xiao holding her daughter's hand at the funeral, and I wondered if it's time to start a family."

Hoshino Yu, whether you say he is casual or young, in short, there is only one principle in his nearly 40 years of life: just be happy.He has been playing ping pong since he was a child, and it would be better if he has the ability to support him to make a living. It is good to be in love, so there is no need to think too much.

But it's just such a person, who actually got enlightened and wanted to settle down. It can be seen that the death of his mother-in-law really hit him hard.Confucius poured wine for him, and A-Bian continued: "Look, in our high school group, you were the first to get married and had children, followed by Kazama, and Master Xiao only got married in his 30s and his children were born earlier than Kazama, so I was the only one in the end. I'm single, I didn't think so before, but now I think about how great it would be to have a little doll who can teach him how to play. Your family's little green is not bad. I have a child who thinks about it, saying that it is a continuation of the inheritance. It's also good."

"Don't think of children as the carrier of parents' ideals." Wenge glanced at him, and his father broke down. "Let nature take its course, children also have their own lives."

"Hey! Why are you so serious, tell me what is your first impression of having a child."

"...a small soft ball in my hand." The father-level figure who was of the same generation as A-Bian paused in memory. "...I feel that having her is the greatest reward in this life."

"That's right..." Ah Bian was fascinated. He used to think that children were noisy, but now he thinks it's good to be a little noisy: "Then I want to find a good woman who I will never tire of seeing!"

"Then you should find one, there should be a good one among your girlfriends."

"Yeah." Ah Bian touched the straight bangs that his girlfriend had praised, took a sip of wine, and the waiter brought the food.

"Speaking of which, I remembered again. Why did your little green transfer to that place where the birds don't shit? Are you not going to play?" A-Bian turned sideways and asked. Anyway, he also has feelings for Kong Wenlu. As a half-teacher, I can't help but ask.

"She herself is confused about her graduation path, and she only feels half of the fun of playing. My coach said before, 'There are wins and wins, this game is interesting'. Our Wenlu... At her age, Duguqiu lose."

"It's not easy to lose? Let her and the professional come, and you can grab a lot of them?" A-Bian asked. He has experienced it before winning to the point of pride, and winning to the point where he doesn't want to fight. What kind of girl is this? thought.

Wenge ate something, "It's not a matter of winning or losing, but she doesn't care about winning or losing, and she was scared of being beaten by an opponent who cared too much. I think it's scary to win or lose a game..." Ah Bian didn't know Kong Wenlugao One thing, he only found out afterwards, he was very guilty of ignoring his daughter's environment, and now he calls and chats with her every day.

Confucius' description is a bit convoluted, but it doesn't hinder A-Bian's understanding. His best friend is a ready-made example: "Hey! It's the same as Xiao Ye back then, who cares more about friends than winning or losing?! But I haven't realized how hard it is to be hearty. The fun of fighting until you win?"

"Exactly!" Father Kong nodded.

"Then you are still a professional father and don't persuade her? The road ahead is fun~"

"Persuasion? Did you persuade Yue Ben to become an athlete? He is also a talented person. It is because I am Wen Lu's father, how can I make an objective choice considering my wishes? ... She is smarter than me It's much better, just do what she likes, isn't being a father the eternal backing."

"Yeah... that's right, but... I think that kid will be attracted to this place in the end." A-bian still remembers that Kong Wenlu didn't even say to play another game when he first came to Japan, and he was defeated by him. He had to puff up his cheeks, but still dragged him to continue beating with bright eyes. "As Napoleon said——" A-Bian shook his head, wanting to show off famous quotes: "Little China* is a sleeping lion, not only the talent for winning, but also the talent for feeling happy on the table, The latter will wake up sooner or later, just wait and see."

"Thank you for your good words." Father Kong raised his glass to him.
