In the early morning, the bright sun rose high, and the warm sunlight shone in, shining through the white glass window on the body of the civet who was lying on the soft bed, and the cicoon lazily turned over, opened her sleepy eyes, and slowly stared at the ceiling.

"Hmm~ It's another weekend"

Eiko yawned and silently got up from the bed, rubbing her messy curls and muttering to herself.

"Karubin... I miss you so much! ”

Walking to the window, Erachu opened the curtains in front of the window, taking in the bright sunlight and remembering what Ryoma had said to her a few days ago

"If you want it, you can always play with it."

"So, see you later, Karubin~" Eiko murmured and then sketched a smile.

After she packed up, she picked up her tennis bag and went out the door.

……

Next to Echizen's house

Ei looked blankly at the scene in front of her, stopped, and was greeted by a very empty temple that was not too big or small, but there was a tennis court in the grounds.

"I remember that his house seems to be here..."Seeing the scene in front of her, Eko couldn't help but be a little suspicious.

"But... How is it a temple?? ”

Pulling the corners of her mouth in embarrassment, Ei walked in slowly.

"That's... Echizen Ryoma... Are you there? As she walked around the temple, she shouted at the quiet clearing, feeling a little uneasy.

"Yo, girl, are you here to find Ryoma? It's a shame he's not here! Hearing this, the fox looked up at the source of the sound, and saw that above the temple, there was a bronze blue hanging bell, and directly below it was a man, dressed in black temple clothes, half-straddled on his body, with his back to her right hand and his right hand propped up, and his left index finger was at his ear.

She was stunned when she saw this scene in front of her.

Why does it feel so strange about this person? And... It's a little bit obscene...

"That's... yes, who are you? Eiko, who was staring at the strange man, spoke a little slowly.

The guy sat up, got up quickly, and with a bright and obscene smile on his face, walked up to the civet.

"Hey, hey... That guy isn't here, I'm his father" The man who was smiling suddenly glanced at the tennis bag that Eki was carrying behind him, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a smug manner.

"Yo, girl, you also play tennis, it just so happens that I'm also idle and bored, come and play"

The strange guy in front of him,The sudden request of the fox was a little helpless.,But because the other party is Ryoma's father and the abbot of an inch-headed temple.,I had to nod and agree.。

"That's... Uncle was merciful. ”

Ryoma's ball skills are so good, so his father is not far behind.

Eiko, who picked up the tennis racket, stood on the tennis court of the temple, looking at the strange guy opposite him, the racket suddenly conjured out of nowhere, twitching the corners of his mouth, and when he came back to his senses, the painted fox put away his expression and then changed to a serious face, holding the racket in both hands, squatting slightly to meet the ball.

"Tsk, don't be so serious, just play" The man teased when he saw the civet with a serious expression.

"Then let's have a simple serve first, and I'm done!" He casually raised his right hand and struck a serve from the air towards Eiko.

Facing the oncoming serve, Ei Lifu frowned slightly and raised his left hand to shoot back.

"Uncle, please be serious."

"Tsk, girl, why are you like that stinky boy." He stood as careless, playfully as ever.

Unhappy, Eiko switched her left hand to her right hand and decided to give him some color.

"Yo, girl, come for real!" Seeing the girl change hands, he pulled the corners of his mouth slightly and whispered lazily from his mouth

It's as if he's already realized that Ei is not left-handed.,It's very calm.。

"Fallen" Ei Tanuki sent one of his tricks at him.

Looking at the serve shot from the girl in front of him, the man's expression changed almost one hundred and eighty degrees, and he gradually put away his ridiculous and lazy expression, replaced it with a slightly sharp look, put down the movements in his hand, and looked at the girl in front of him.

"You're Uesugi Eikoon?"

Hearing this, Ei was stunned

"Uncle knows me?"

"Is your father's name Uesugi River?"

The familiar name came from his mouth, and the eyes of the tanuki shrank, and he was extremely shocked.

"Do you recognize my father?"

"Tsk, he's my childhood tennis buddy," he said, chuckling, as if remembering the past

"Is that old guy alright?"

When Eri heard what he said, her mind went back to before she was in the United States, where her father would often nag a person in her ear, making fun of that person's quirks, and saying bad things about that person while praising him for his tennis skills, as if he was called "Echizen Minamijiro"

"Father Ankang, uncle is not the samurai Echizen Minamijiro?"

Echizen Minamijiro was once a man who won all 37 games and was hailed as a "rare genius in a century", and he was only one game away from breaking the world record!

Eiko instantly admired the man in front of him, and his eyes glittered.

"Haha, what about the samurai, it's all before" Minamijiro smiled and glanced at Eki casually, and said again

"You girl turned out to be the daughter of that old guy in Uesugi, I also heard him talk about you at the French Open, it's okay if you lose, it's a big deal to start over and give those guys something powerful."

"Yes, uncle!" Painted raccoon high

"Girl, didn't you come to find that kid from Ryoma? Go, I'll take you. Minamijiro put down his racket and walked towards the house next door.

"That's... Uncle won't play this ball? "Ei Fox is a little puzzled, this ball has only been played for a long time.

"There will be a chance in the future, and the girl is gone!" Minamijiro glanced at Ei Tanuki nonchalantly, his hands resting on the back of his head, and said leisurely.

Seeing this, Ei Ni didn't say much, packed up his things, raised his heels, and looked at Minamijiro's back and thought psychologically.

Also, there will be opportunities in the future, after all, he is Ryoma's father.
