His grandfather paused.

"I don't participate in any blind dates now, but it doesn't matter. He said solemnly, like a conversation between a boss and a subordinate.

"But your parents' concerns are justified: you're 3o years old, and there's no reliable research in the world that supports the idea that the athletic life of a top-notch tennis player can't last after marriage. ”

At that moment, the fish float on his grandson's side suddenly moved. So he paused for a moment, and watched his grandson raise his rod with swift and skillful movements, plucking a large hooked fish from the hook, and throwing it into the near-full ice bucket beside him, and then he continued.

"If you have any ideal woman in mind, you might as well be honest with your parents. In this way, they will not be as worried as they are now, because they are completely bottomless. Of course, if you don't have that standard or idea, that's fine. The point is, talk to them well and let them understand what you're thinking about. ”

Kunimitsu Tezuka was silent for a moment, then threw the hook back into the water and set off the rod. Then he stood up, walked slowly to the other side, and stood on the embankment, looking at the golden sea that was shining in the bright sun.

"Yes. After a long silence, he finally whispered.

His grandfather didn't seem to react at first. When he realized what he was saying, his grandfather seemed to be a little surprised, as if he had heard such an answer, but it was actually his own back of the ear or tinnitus, which produced some non-existent noise.

"What, Kunimitsu" his grandfather's voice sounded unusually serious, and it was even more muffled, full of majesty, and maybe a little coercion.

The head of the Youth Tennis Department of the year stared at the sea.

"I haven't really thought about the standard you just mentioned. He said, his voice sounding unusually serious, and his tone was serious.

However, when I tried to think about it in this way, I suddenly thought of some qualities that fit this standard. ”

Speaking of this, the head of the Youth Tennis Department at that time paused subtly.

"If that's the standard, then there are some. ”

The old man's face showed a faint smile like playfulness.

"Oh, yes. He said slowly.

"So, is there such a woman who fits these qualities? ”

The old man said this, but he didn't seem to expect any positive answer from his grandson. His gaze was fixed on his float, as if he was preoccupied with whether or not a fish had been hooked, and the question he had just raised with his grandson was just a casual remark.

However, his grandson was silent for too long.

Then he heard his grandson whisper something that seemed completely unrelated.

"Before, at the Open Tournament, I met the minister of the Shitenhoji Temple in the original middle school days, Shiraishi-kun. ”

"Because they all reached the semi-finals, I knew that he likes to raise unicorns more than usual. He also named his unicorn as Kabriellu, and he gave the same name to all the unicorns he had kept over the years. ”

Although there are some doubts about why the topic suddenly changed from fishing and blind dates to unicorns, the old man, who was once an elite in the police world, seems to be extremely patient, after all, his rich experience in handling cases shows that sometimes some words that sound completely unrelated are pointing to the point.

Sure enough, he heard his grandson sigh a little.

Bai Shi also complained about the trouble caused by the family arranging these things for him, and said that he would simply marry the unicorn, after all, the unicorn fairy will not be seriously injured because of playing tennis, and the harm will be troubled by this matter for the rest of his life. ”

The old man, who seemed to be preoccupied with fishing, subtly curled the corners of his lips.

"Oh, yes. He replied in a bland tone, as if he had no idea what was strange about what his grandson had recounted.

He waited patiently for a while. It wasn't until he had caught a big fish, and while he was sorting out the bucket of ice that could no longer hold any more catch, that the radio that had been placed on the ground between the two of them had only been brought for the long time of waiting for the fish to bite the hook, and the radio program was playing slowly, and suddenly there was a brisk melody, and then the gentle voice of the sweet-voiced hostess.

"Good morning, everybody. On a weekday morning, everyone must be busy at the moment. So today I would like to bring you some songs that will calm and soothe the soul. I hope you can get some spiritual comfort and reasons for your own efforts."

Then, a song with a gentle and light melody sounded.

The old man, a former police officer and judo instructor who likes to sing songs, feels a little incomprehensible about this popular song among young people.

Originally, the grandson whom he valued and was very proud of seemed to be unable to appreciate this kind of young people's pop music, but this time, he heard his grandson sigh softly.

"If you're in the mood to meet, you'll meet somewhere someday"

He heard his grandson, who now won several Grand Slam men's singles titles, repeat a phrase from the lyrics and say it in a tone that was clearly "confused and melancholy."

"Can that really be the case? ”

Willow Springs""

She was on the verge of gnashing her teeth.

"This, to, bottom, is, what?"

A low chuckle came out of her mind.

Hold your horses. It actually answered her.

There may be a fierce battle going on outside the closed gates, or at any time, the guards of the government may break through the two closed gates, drag her, the rebel who dares to trespass into the most important and core area of the government at the time, and destroy it humanely, but at this moment, in the main control room, which is almost a secret room, the system bacteria suddenly act as if they are playing a big game of chess.

Just take a good look at what will happen in the future, isn't it okay It actually asked a rhetorical question, and then ignored Liu Quan's protest and forcibly continued to play the incredible picture on the light screen in front of her.

Screen switching

It was a deserted place with shabby houses, and judging from the style of the houses and the clothing of the passers-by who happened to walk by on the street, there is no doubt that this era was

In a humble wooden house, a young man dressed in black is bending down to tidy up his things. There was a simple baggage beside him, as if it were all his valuables.

Outside the frame, another young man's voice rang out.

"Ichinose-kun, how about it, now that you have received an amnesty from His Majesty, you can leave here, what are you going to do next?"

The young man, who was tidying up his things, replied in a deep voice without looking back, "I'm going back to Edo." ”

The man who asked earlier let out a wry smile.

"No, no, no, I'm not asking about this, I mean, Rong Baogong seems to be interested in being a matchmaker for you, of course, the ideal candidate in Rong Baogong's mind, but the good girl Rong Baogong who stayed in Aizu and matched you enough to match you also said to me, you young people must work hard to pass on the fire of Aizu. ”

The young man in black, who was kneeling on the tatami mat with his back to him and had been tidying up his things, heard this, and the movements in his hands paused slightly. Then, he said slowly

"I, very grateful to Rong Baogong for his kindness. ”

As if he was considering the words as he spoke, he spoke slowly and in a slightly low voice.

"However, I have one last thing, something that must be done. ”

The man who questioned him seemed a little surprised.

"What's the matter?"

At this time, the man in black finally turned his head. He folded a few pieces of clothing that were a little white, but looked extremely neat, and rested them on his lap for the time being, and one of his hands pressed against them, and his handsome face, his right eye, was almost obscured by long bangs. But through the gap in the silk, you can still see the extremely bright and divine brilliance in his eyes.

He said, "I promised one person. ”

"Promise her that I will fight desperately to kill the enemy, and I will definitely try my best to survive. When I'm done with what I feel I have to do, I'll go back to her and catch up with her."

His expression, which had always been calm and cold, suddenly seemed to loosen a little, and the corners of his lips curled slightly, revealing a rare smile.

He said, "In the past few years, although the land of Dounan is extremely difficult and life is not easy, I have also saved some money a little. ”

The man who asked earlier looked shocked. He even stuttered as he spoke.

"You, what you're saving money for"

Perhaps he was trying to say something terrible like "marry her" at first, but the man in black just gave him a strange look and continued to speak calmly

"It's to buy her lots and lots of cherry cakes for her when I reunite with her. ”

Willow Springs""

She felt like she couldn't speak now. Because her lips seemed to tremble.

But the system bacteria still don't seem to let her go.

The screen turns, this time on the street of a small town.

There are several shops on both sides of the street. In the middle of the road, a man was walking slowly from far and near.

As he got closer, he saw that he looked like he was in his thirties, but his handsome face was still impressive.

He approached a small shop on the side of the road, and the owner hurriedly came out to greet him.

"Ah, are you here to buy wine again, Mr. Naito," said the enthusiastic proprietress in her fifties, poking her head out and hurriedly bringing out two porcelain vases from the shop;

The man nodded slightly at the proprietress and lowered his head to touch the purse in his sleeve. In the short time that he had not yet taken out the money bag, the proprietress had already put the porcelain vase into a basket and raised her head and talked to him with a smile

"Mr. Naito, are you still not going to consider the Tadaya family's proposal, and you have been refusing to give up, after all, Mr. Naito is a rare talent."

Her voice cut off abruptly as the man looked up and glanced at her.

At first glance, it didn't seem to be anything, but the person who was blown by the wind couldn't help but shudder. But then he looked closely, and the man lowered his head and opened the purse, as if he were counting the money to be paid to the shopkeeper, as if there was nothing special about it.

After a short silence, he actually spoke, perhaps because he frequented the shop and had been cared for by the owner for a long time, and he did not hesitate to explain that his voice sounded very magnetic, and his tone was a little deep.

"I'm sorry. But I should have made it very clear that I am a married person, and you didn't have met my wife at the beginning."
