"I want to see him." The girl's voice had changed again, and it was different from what he had known before. Uraba looked thoughtfully at those small shining eyes, smiled gently for a while, and didn't hide it anymore.

"The gentleman has left." Puba looked at the eyes that were slightly dim and hid complicated feelings, and his heart moved. The phrase "he has been here" has already reached his lips, but he is still loyal to the man's instructions, and he swallows it back.

"The club is over, the cruise ship has docked, the guests on board are leaving, if you don't wake up, we will take you away." Puba pushed his glasses and changed the subject.

"Hmm." Without saying anything more, she sat up from the bed and was about to come down. "When you wake up, how do you feel...... Eh, wait......" Before Puba could finish speaking, he saw that she unplugged the infusion tube in her hand and got out of the hospital bed with both hands, looking surprisingly calm. "It's good, I feel good."

Ignoring Uruba's stopping, she walked slowly towards the door, the corners of her discolored lips slightly hooked, revealing a senseless smile. It wasn't like Ryuzaki Sakurano's pure smile, nor like Hecate's mystery...... Puba was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously spoke. "Who are you?"

Her steps paused slightly, and her grip on the doorknob stopped, and she turned her head, half of her face sinking into the dim light and shadow, and she couldn't see clearly. "Ryuzaki Sakurano? Hecate？ Anesidora？ Or ....... Cherry? There was a hint of lightness in her voice, and the whole person melted into the dim light outside the door. Call me anything. ”

"Ah...... Wait a minute. As if he had finally reacted from the change, Puba grabbed the unclosed door and wanted to stop Sakurano, who had already walked a few steps, but the words stopped when he came to his lips, and he just watched the person walk away. Looking at the slender figure that disappeared around the corner of the corridor, Puba sighed half relieved and half sad, this long job ...... It's probably going to be over.

The cruise ship, which was already empty, seemed a little empty at the moment, except for a few uniformed waiters who passed by from time to time. Sakurano returned to her room and stood in front of the window for a moment with a blank face before slowly starting to pack up and prepare to leave.

"Knock knock." After cleaning up, I walked to the door, and Sakura, who was about to open the door and leave, was stunned when I heard the knock on the door, and when I opened the door, I saw Echizen, who was also stunned. "I went to the infirmary and heard from the doctor that you were awake." Echizen turned sideways to see Sakurano walk out of the room, his face was still a little pale, and he couldn't help but speak with some worry. Sakura...... You okay? "I'm fine."

The two walked side by side towards the exit, Sakurano hooked the corners of her mouth and brought Echizen's question, and her eyes, which had been calm, finally jumped out a little vividly. "Did the club end early? What happened after I fainted? "The organizers suddenly announced the termination of the competition, and after that it seemed to be some blind shooting, and there was a banquet, and I didn't go to it." Echizen shook his head, he naturally didn't know much about these things. "And then it's over."

"Blind shooting...... What about blind shooting......" Sakurano muttered thoughtfully, a glint in her eyes. "Why ......"

Sakura, who was lost in thought, didn't notice the complicated gaze cast from the side. - "What are you going to do?" - "Makes you stronger." ”——“…… What the? "I want to give you a chance." Echizen looked at the calm face next to him, which seemed to be a little different, and the conversation not long ago rang in his ears again, repeatedly, haunting his ears. Make him stronger, don't you?

Outside the boat, it was getting dark, hours had passed since the end of the club, and most of the guests had already left in the evening. Sakurano and Echizen walked down the gangway, and as they came, a black sedan was parked and waiting, and the harbor was empty, much less than it had been at the beginning.

Except for the cool evening breeze on a cool summer day, there was no other sound around, and all the movements seemed silent and ghostly under the fading sky. Glancing at the glow that remained in the distance in the western sky, Sakurano withdrew her gaze and got into the car with Echizen.

It seems that this brief "event" full of shock and bloodshed has finally come to an end in a strange silent way. Sakurano lowered her eyelashes, and the corners of her mouth were slightly curled with a playful curvature. But...... It's just a look......

"Yo, our little princess is gone." Glancing at the two people who walked off the boat side by side on the surveillance screen, Yagawa looked away with a smile and looked at the blonde boy who had been nestled on the sofa in a daze, only to find that the angel face was still immersed in an empty state of mindlessness, and it seemed that he had not heard his words at all.

"What's wrong with you? Even such a sweet little princess can't arouse your interest? Yagawa frowned, feeling a hint of novelty at the appearance of Samael. Speaking of which, it seems that you have lost your soul since the end of the blind shooting in the afternoon. "What's going on?"

"Hmm...... It's just that, finally, Samael, who had been in a fugue for a long time, turned his head, and Yagawa watched with a little surprise as those pure and beautiful eyes landed on the freeze-frame screen, slowly sinking into a scarlet blood-colored haze. "It's kind of a stumbling block."

The crumpled paper in the pocket near the heart seemed to be faintly hot at the moment, like the pain of a gentle but domineering brand, arousing a trace of inexplicable anger in people...... and unwilling. Curling up his fingers, Samael's gaze pierced through the screen, fixed on the side face hidden by the lowered brim of his hat, and his words did not hide the gloomy coldness in his words. How can you be worthy of being so weak......

There was a moment of froze in the air, and the oppressive gloom was clearly perceived, and Yagawa looked at Samael's distorted eyes for a moment, thoughtfully, and changed the topic in a deep voice.

"Did you notice the agent of 'R' in this auction?" "Hmm. Of course. Turning his gaze back, Samael's emotions that had been out of control for a few seconds had recovered, and at the moment he was lazily lying on the sofa with his feet crossed and squinting and smiling, living like a harmless beautiful boy next door. After all, it's a powerful person who beat you up. ”

Hearing the young man's deliberately lengthened tail note, Yagawa didn't seem to care, but there was still a trace of darkness in his eyes. "Igarashi Hatsuna, I was very optimistic about him, he is a very interesting talent." Turning on the projection on the wall, Yagawa looked at the information of the first name displayed on the screen, and his tone was a little strange. "It's a pity that I pinched his weakness, but I didn't use it well, and I didn't steal the chickens and rice, but pushed him to the 'R' side."

"R", like "Ghost Skeleton", is synonymous with an underground group of golfers. However, unlike the "Ghost Skeleton", which has a large number of organization members, "R" is more secretive, and the members who have emerged are extremely rare, but the results of each organization player who exactly belongs to "R" are enough to discourage those who go to provoke.

Moreover, as we all know, this emerging elite organization is very incompatible with the "ghost skeletons", and from time to time, there will be news that members of the "R" and the "ghost skeletons" will fight to the death on a small scale.

If the "ghost skeleton" is the behemoth that rules the underground tennis world, then the "R", which has only gained fame in recent years, is a sharp knife piercing the body of this giant beast———— which is alive, fearless, and vigorously growing.

"His weakness? The little girl who loves him with all his heart? Yikes...... It's really touching. Samael curled the corners of his lips and sighed meaninglessly, pulling Yagawa's distracted mind back for a moment. The brother and sister who depend on each other, the infatuated lover who never abandons...... Tut-tut...... "Ignoring Samael's joking taunts, Yagawa then brought up Yamazawa and ...... Echizen and Sakurano's expansion.

"Judging from Igarashi's move to spend a lot of money to bring the ownership of these three people under the name of 'R'......" "We can be sure that the main purpose of their participation in the club this time is to preemptively include these three owners in their protection before the start of next year's season." Watching the screen flicker again, more expansions they were familiar with or not so familiar flashed out, and Yagawa's languid voice revealed a hint of weird interest.

"R's activities have been a lot quieter than before, but there is a clear hint of uneasiness from above." Turning off the projection, Yagawa's meaningful gaze fell on the dazzling blonde hair. "Too often, a quiet hibernation means an unforeseen riot is coming." Hearing this, I don't know what I remembered, Samael, who had been gagging, suddenly fell silent, and his lowered eyelashes covered all his thoughts.

"Although it is not clear why 'R' exposed these three people, but the little princess is here, I would have paid more attention." "As for you, next year's plans are not to be missed for us, and I don't think you want to see your years of hard work come to naught." Yagawa's gaze remained on the silent Samael, and there was a hint of irrefutable oppression in his lazy voice. "Mu Qian and I will be in charge here, and you will go back to the United States for the time being. Something seems to be wrong over there, you go and work with Lilia. ”

After a pause, Yagawa softened his tone, as if to reassure him. "The friendly match between Japan and the United States will start soon, and we will meet in the United States." "This time Bai's appearance is considered my improper arrangement, ruining the agreement to let you and the little princess face off, and I will compensate you when the time comes."

"Okay." To Yagawa's surprise, Samael, who had thought he would turn a deaf ear to his words, was silent for only a few seconds before raising his head and responding. He squinted at the back of the man who kicked open the door and walked out.

Walking out of the room, Samael casually leaned against the wall of the hallway and was stunned for a long time before slowly pulling out the crumpled white paper from his pocket. He unfolded slowly, and saw the lines that he was familiar with...... But it's been a long time since I've seen the handwriting.

It was rubbed too hard, and the handwriting was already a little blurry, but every stroke was clearly engraved on his heart. - "Makes you stronger." "I want to give you a chance." Taking a deep breath, Samael tilted his head and closed his eyes, but there was an unstoppable fire burning in his heart...... "Hibernation means riot......" He bit the words and slowly spit them out, his eyes full of indifference when he reopened. Indeed, every time it is so unexpected. He wanted to see what kind of touching surprise it was this time.
