In the tennis club, which has a young youth, it seems that every day is full of energy.

Walking into the venue with a bag on his back, Sakurano looked at the angry scene, stood aside and smiled slightly, not knowing what to think.

While she was still in a daze, something suddenly fell to the ground and rolled to Sakurano's feet, waking her up in thought.

"Minister, your," something.

Just picked up the shining ring that fell on the ground, Sakura was about to return it to Tezuka, who walked by his side, but his eyes were fixed on the inside of the silver ring, and he only said half of the words, this is.

"Thanks, it's mine."

Tezuka reached out and took the ring, Sakurano blinked, smiling with some interest, she tentatively said, "Minister, how did you get this ring?" ”

"Someone else sent it."

Tezuka heard Sakurano's question, and a rare gentle color flashed in his eyes, and then he turned around and walked away, leaving Sakurano standing alone, with an undisguised surprise on his face.

The assembled candidates are also joking with each other without any scruples.

"The minister is really an iceberg face every day,"

Eiji leaned on Oishi's body and looked at Tezuka who was patrolling in the distance, "The hardness of that face is completely proportional to the strength of the minister." ”

"Be careful that Tezuka hears it, and you will be punished for going around the field twenty times!"

Fuji smiled slightly, but his tone was narrow, "But I really want to see the soft side of Tezuka's expression, like I want to win him once no matter what." ”

"Speaking of which,"

Eiji touched the quiet dry side with his elbow.

"Dry, when you were in the ranking match, you were ruthlessly knocked out by the minister again! Fiasco, is there any! ”

"Well, Tezuka's strength is unfathomable, and every time you play against him, you have to refresh your stats."

Pushing his glasses, he replied with the notes he carried everywhere, "The chance of winning him once is only 10%, which is too low." ”

Echizen, who was leaning on the side net, heard the conversation of several people, and a touch of complexity flashed in his eyes, do you want to win once no matter what?

Seemingly, he said so too.

"Brother, just once. I'm going to win you. ”

At that time, he always carried a racket, declared war on the man who always grinned and ate the orange with the skin, and was defeated again and again without mercy.

He's never won, like, he's never beaten his dad.

That man, now. Echizen opened his eyes and looked at the sky, and a dashing figure left appeared in his mind, it must be, it's okay, right.

Beside him are the members who have arrived one after another, leaning the racket against the net, Sakura no stretched out her right hand that is not often holding the racket, and there is still a spasm in her heart that made her palpitate a few days ago, and after a while, she sighed, but smiled a little relieved.

"There will always be ...... Find out. ”

After whispering to herself, she raised her eyes, and faced Zhengxuan, who had been standing together in twos and threes, and Echizen, who was standing on their left and right, seemed to be arrogant.

The assembly whistle sounded on the field, and Sakurano smiled slightly and walked into the field.

"The intramural competition has ended, and the new candidates are listed by ranking. Taking into account the substitutions for the game, the number was adjusted to eight main selections. ”

Ryuzaki clapped his hands, glanced at the crowd in front of him, and raised his voice.

"They are three-year-old, Tezuka, Fuji, Oishi, Eiji, Kawamura, Dry, two-year-old, Kaido, and one-year-old, Echizen. The eight of you will form a new lineup to represent the Youth Academy, Impact, Regional Preliminaries, Tokyo Metropolitan Tournament, Kanto Tournament, and even the National Tournament! ”

"Wow......" "Knock!" "Wow!" ……

Applause, cheers, and a very jubilant atmosphere suddenly permeated the field. Another hot season for competitions is about to begin.

The other side of the city.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The low chime was long, echoing in the emptiness. Minamijiro teased Karubin beside him with a cat teasing stick, while holding a magazine in his hand and looking at it intently, and from time to time he was scratched by the sharp cat's claws a few times and bared his teeth in pain.

Suddenly there was a slight sound around him, and his keen senses caught the movement, and he looked at it casually, his pupils slightly stunned for a moment as they touched the visitor.

Quietly stopped in front of the courtyard, the window of the black sedan was rolled down, Richard turned around, bowed his head and whispered, "Master, it's already here." ”

The obedient dress, good etiquette, even if the hair is gray, you can still see the shrewdness and respect of the old butler.

The young man in front of him did not make a sound, the spacious and luxurious car was filled with a low and compelling air pressure, Richard was half-bowed, even if he had served several nobles, under the invisible power of the person in front of him, a little cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

The light in the palm of the hand through the window, shining with dazzling colors, delicately flipped and swirled, and the tiny and small sounds seemed abrupt and mysterious in the oppressive carriage.

Finally, in a panicked stasis, it stopped, lightly gripped by slender fingers, and shimmered with a terrifying black glow.

"Meow!"

The cat under his feet was still fluttering, but Nanjiro, who was sitting lazily on the corridor, put down the cat teasing stick in his hand, and looked at the visitors who were slowly walking in the distance with casual eyes, which gradually became meaningful.

"Yo, today's guests are really strange."

Richard walked calmly and carefully, his men pushing a well-made wheelchair made of precious brown crystals, and even the axles of the wheels rolling on the ground glowed with silver, and the boy in the chair kept his eyes down, and in the distance he could only see the crest of his chestnut hair faintly shining in the light.

"What a distinguished guest!"

Sighing meaninglessly, Nanjiro clapped his hands and stood up, walked down the corridor, and greeted him, the sunlight was very dazzling, completely obscuring the rare solemnity in his eyes. Finally approaching, the boy's skin was fair, even slightly transparent in the light through the white shirt, Nanjiro looked at the delicate card he was holding in his hand and looked up.

"Please forgive me for taking the liberty of interrupting, Mr. Warrior."

Without looking at his deep and secret eyes, the young man's face was as beautiful as the fairy in the painting, elegant, like a nobleman in the Middle Ages.

In fact, he is indeed a supreme nobleman, Nanjiro thought to himself, and met the young man's calm and compelling pupils, where the faint green color sometimes crossed from time to time, so mysterious that people did not dare to look directly.

His voice was slightly hoarse and low, and the corners of his cherry-colored lips had an inertial and relentless arc.

Nanjiro looked at the obviously low boy, but he only felt that he was being condescended and brutally looked down on, and under the suffocation and oppression of overwhelming power, he understood that in front of a growing emperor, even an invincible samurai could only surrender.

"Please."

Stepping back slightly, Minamijiro narrowed his eyes and lowered his head.

With a slight bow of politeness, Richard smoothly pushed the car into the room, Minamijiro staggered his pace to follow, and behind him was a glittering sunlight like crumbling gold.

After a long time, the twilight was falling. Minamijiro sat alone in front of the corridor that had just dissipated the cold breath, with two envelopes, one new and one old, with a black cover, a blood-colored special symbol, everything was tinged with a mysterious chilling malice, he looked into the distance for a long time, and his face had long since lost his former informality.

The wind chimes above his head broke the gloom that permeated the room, and Nanjiro finally got up and looked solemnly at the dark sky, as if the samurai had returned invincible after a long silence.

It was getting dark, and the tide was rising.

As soon as I walked into the main room, the phone on the table began to "tink".

"Mossi Moxi"

Lifting the microphone a little rudely, Minamijiro's impatient eyes gradually deepened with the words on the other end.

"So, are you coming?"

Nanjiro heard the question, was silent for a moment, and sighed softly, "Probably, no." ”

"Are you sure? It's been almost ten years,"

Before the person on the other side finished speaking, Minamijiro had already put down the microphone and cast his little contemplative gaze on the corner of the sky outside the hospital, with a faint expectation and remembrance.

After all, it's already their world. Who can accomplish the big dream first? It's really exciting.

"Meow~~ Meow"

As soon as Echizen walked into the courtyard gate, he saw Minamijiro lying crookedly under the porch teasing the cat, and the cat was having fun alone.

"Yo! Juvenile! It's back! ”

Seeing Echizen come back, Minamijiro rolled over and stood up, and put down the cat in his hand with a grin.

"Dad, fight with me!"

Without waiting for Minamijiro to answer, Echizen had already walked to the tennis court in the courtyard with fear, Nanjiro looked at Echizen who was a little strange, and didn't say anything, just grinned and followed.

Throwing the ball in his hand, Echizen jumped and swung his racket, and the serve went straight to the feet of Naijiro with a strong ball style.

Minamijiro closed his eyes and discerned it slightly, and swung his racket, and the ball that was just close to him was lightly blocked.

"Come again!"

Echizen meets the net, and a volley goes back to Minamijiro.

"Come again!"

Jumping up and smashing, the moment Echizen swung the racket, Nanjiro's body moved slightly, but the speed of the swing doubled and accelerated, and he quickly shot back, "It's still far away!" ”

"Bang!"

There was an explosion in the backcourt, and before Echizen landed, the return ball had left a deep mark on the bottom line.

"Oops! It's boring! ”

After playing non-stop for more than 40 rounds, Minamijiro jumped to the net, dunked the ball back, and the trajectory went straight to the bottom line of the backcourt. Echizen noticed that he was in hot pursuit, but he still couldn't catch up with the speed, and he stretched out his racket to catch the ball, but he watched the return ball pressing on the bottom line from a short distance, and his body had already fallen to the ground.

"Teenagers, it's still far from it!"

Minamijiro defiantly glanced at Echizen, who fell to the ground, and walked off the field laughing.

Echizen looked at Minamijiro who was leaving in silence, and finally shouted unwillingly, "Dad! You wait! Someday! I'll beat you! Absolute! ”

Minamijiro's footsteps paused slightly, but he didn't stop, and there was a proud excellence in his smiling eyes, and I looked forward to the day when there would definitely be.

Ryoma, I'm waiting, defeated by you, that day.

The darkness is already gathering momentum, boy, grow up quickly......

"Moxi Moxi, this is the Ryuzaki house."

After cleaning up the dinner table, Ryuzaki picked up the tinkling telephone microphone, and his original casual expression gradually became serious with the words of the person on the other end of the phone.

"Is that really appropriate? Sakura is a very unstable state lately, and she doesn't fully remember the past......"

Ryuzaki looked at Sakurano's room upstairs, his voice lowered, and his face was still a little hesitant......

"That's what I said...... It's too dangerous. ”……

"That's a good idea...... Was it that person's idea? All right...... I know...... Good...... That's it. ”

Putting down the phone, Ryuzaki looked up again, and his eyes fell on the tennis magazine spread out on the table, and an eye-catching report came into view, "The first round of the Japan-US friendly tournament is about to begin."

She was stunned for a long time, shook her head and sighed softly, the moonlight outside the window entered the house, slightly cold.
