"Hey, Echizen Ryoma." Kevin was very unwilling, so he could only let him go: "He didn't make it to the youth selection team, don't be kidding, Echizen Ryoma." ”

Ryoma looked depressed and tightly grasped the strap on the tennis bag, very unwilling.

In the evening, the Echizen family was enjoying dinner.

Minamijiro poured a glass of beer into his stomach: "Summer beer and a young lady in a swimsuit are so wonderful." ”

"Uncle is really ......" Nanako Echizen looked like she had no problem with her uncle: "Ryoma went to the hospital today, how is Rico recovering?" ”

"Someone took good care of it, and it didn't matter." Ryoma absentmindedly ate the rice in the bowl.

"Hey, boy, how's it going, tryout." Minamijiro suddenly cares about his son's recent situation.

"Defeated." Ryoma was very depressed and eating.

"Really, unsuccessful? That's important. ”

When the two of them heard his words, they looked at him worriedly: "What did you just say?" ”

"Didn't you hear? I said I wasn't on the selection team. Ryoma chewed the food in his mouth, "I'm done." ”

He got up and went back to his room.

At the hospital, Rico picks up Tezuka's phone and listens to him describe what happened today.

"That kid is starting to be a little unwilling." She smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about my attitude towards you, his fighting spirit is gradually coming back, and the place you left for him doesn't count." ”

"Of course it counts, when his fighting spirit returns, I'll go and ask Coach Sakaki." Tezuka had a serious tone.

"Okay, I just sent you an email to all the people I suspect in the Jibu Group, and you can tell that Takeuchi Sa later, and let him conquer their computers one by one. In the hospital, there are people everywhere who take care of the family, and now they don't even let me move the computer, and only let me use my mobile phone to work, so I feel powerless. ”

"Okay, don't be too tired, rest early." Tezuka hung up the phone after speaking.

Ryoma lay in bed in a daze, recalling what Kevin had said this afternoon.

"Then I'll knock you down in front of a crowd."

"Let go of me." Ryoma was grabbed by the minister's arm and slapped by the minister.

"It's really ...... for no reason," he said, who did not understand the minister's behavior.

At the Tokyo hospital, Tezuka brought a large bouquet of flowers to visit Coach Ryuzaki. He sat on the edge of the bed and asked Sakurano to put flowers in him.

"That's right, Echizen him..."Coach Ryuzaki paused after listening to the ins and outs of the matter, and continued: "I know, your judgment is not wrong. ”

She thought for a moment and continued, "Tezuka, I'm sorry, I specially called you back from Germany, but not as a player but as a coach. ”

"Nothing."

"Actually, you should be the one who wants to play the most." Coach Ryuzaki knows his inner desire to compete.

"Coach Ryuzaki has long known about Echizen. That's why I rushed back to Japan as a coach. ”

"You're thinking too much, I didn't expect it to go so far." Coach Ryuzaki half-sat on the hospital bed and laughed.

"Really? So, Coach Ryuzaki, I'll go first. Tezuka got up and walked to the door.

"Help me bring a greeting to Rico, my old woman is sick at this time, and I can't go to see her."

"Okay, I'll bring it." Tezuka finished speaking and left the ward.

He went to Rico's hospital room and ate with her.

At noon, after Ryoma finished eating, he carried his bag to various courts to look for the man from yesterday.

"Hello, have you seen a foreigner who looks like a high school student?"

"No foreigners were seen." The idle people in the stadium answered his words.

He went to look for it again at other courts, and was replied by the waiting trace, "I didn't see this person today." ”

Keigo Keibe stepped down from it, "I heard about it, you ran around the stadium looking for Kevin. Because you can't play, do you want to solve it with Kevin in private? ”

He stroked his hair: "Your sister is worried about you all the time in the ward." ”

"Can't you?" Ryoma looked impatient.

"What's the difference between this and Kevin, who is making trouble everywhere?"

He lowered his cat's eye: "If he wants to fight me, I'll treat him as an opponent." ”

"Really? I think you're just venting your anger at not being on the selection team. "The trace is full of ridicule.

Ryoma seemed to be poked in the heart, grabbing his tennis bag and looking at him viciously.

"Stop, or you'll only get worse. If you don't make it to the selection team, you prove that you have lost, so hurry up and go home with your tail between your legs. He clasped his arms together and said defiantly, "Goodbye." ”

With that, he passed past Ryoma's side.

It's all like this, what are you doing, fool.

Ryoma was absent-minded along the way, always thinking about the words of the trace: "If you are not selected for the selection team, it proves that you have lost, so hurry up and go home with your tail between your legs." ”

The rays of the setting sun were refracted to his face, making them even more dazzling.

Finally, he made up his mind and went to Tezuka's house.

"Guoguang, the junior from your tennis club is here." Tezuka's mother reminds her son who is reading a book in the room.

Tezuka put down the book, went to the front hall, and saw Ryoma with a grudge on his face: "What's wrong?" Come over at this time. ”

Long pulled the strap of the tennis bag: "I have a request. ”

"What?"

"I, I still want to be in the youth selection team." Ryoma looks up to show his fighting spirit.

Tezuka just looked at him quietly: "The team members have already decided." ”

"So, what do you want me to do? He didn't let me join the selection team, and he didn't let me compete with him. I... What should I do? ”

Tezuka brought him into his room and still let out his emotions, Ryoma sat cross-legged and kept saying, "I understand, to be honest, I don't have much fighting spirit in the youth selection team. It's like what the minister said. But it's different now, I want to have a fight with Kevin, please let me go, please. ”

He watched Ryoma's mind shift, and the flame in his eyes that wanted to defeat all opponents was burning again.

"The seven-man selection team can't be changed anymore, but... There is actually another slot. ”

Tezuka remembered his previous decision.

"Echizen and Fuji, which one to choose, I'd like to hear Tezuka's opinion. Because both of these people are Qingxue players. Coach Sakaki asked him as he sat in his office.

"Echizen and Fuji, which one will you choose?" Coach Hanamura is looking forward to the choice of Tetsuka.

He hesitated for a long time: "My opinion is to choose the best one. ”

"Really? Then the final substitute is Echizen Ryoma. "Coach Sakaki knows.

"Wait a minute, I have a wayward request." Tezuka wanted to hone the pillar of his choice: "Can the decision on the last spot be left to me?" ”

"The final substitution, like the one who was resurrected in the lower bracket, is that okay?" At the end of the memory, Tezuka looked at Ryoma in front of him and said cautiously.

"Yes, no problem." Ryoma readily agreed.

"But even then, you don't necessarily have to participate." He reminded him like a vaccination: "The decision on the order of appearance is in the hands of Coach Sakaki alone." ”

"That's fine." Ryoma laughed happily.

After Ryoma leaves, Tezuka calls Riko and proudly asks for praise, "I pulled him back." ”

"Your praise is beyond words." Rico in the hospital sat on the bed and teased, "If I hadn't asked the trace department to help you, where would it be so fast?" He's a stubborn temper that nine cows can't pull back. ”

"I see, I heard from the Ministry of Traces that his father is going to have a showdown with his mother." Tezuka thought of the message sent by the traces during the day today.

"Tan Bei, I don't know the effect yet, see if she continues to arrange for someone to kill me, I will know if the effect is good."

"You have a really big heart, I will take my mother's chicken soup to see you tomorrow." Tezuka couldn't help but laugh: Obviously there has always been a knot in his heart, but he always pretends not to take things to heart.

"Okay, by the way, bring some rice, I've been eating the dishes made by the Jibu family for half a month, why don't you bring some other dishes over and eat together?" Tomorrow I will ask the maid lady to inform the other side not to cook. Rico took the opportunity to play tricks.

"Okay, I remember some of the most suitable food recipes for injured people that I saw before, and I'll ask my mother to make a few tomorrow."

In the morning, the chirping of the cicadas is higher than the other, and it seems that only the sound of cicadas can add a lot of fun and color to Ryoma's good mood.

He was hitting back the ball bouncing off the wall one by one.

Echizen Ryoko and Nanako were cooking in the kitchen, and Minamijiro yawned and walked through the room to the living room: "Ryoma, this guy is finished eating." ”

"I always feel that this kid is full of energy now." Lunzi laughed.

"Really, I was selected for the youth selection team, and I immediately became so excited." Minamijiro was infected by his son's emotions, and he felt much more comfortable in the morning: "What a spiritual guy." ”

"Auntie, is this enough?" Nanako is busy on the sidelines.

"That's enough, after all, it's just Ricle girl who eats alone." Echizen Ryoko instructs Nanako.

"Huh?" Minamijiro was attracted to what they did.

"Yesterday, Rico told Tezuka that she didn't want to eat the food of the Kibe family anymore, and that it was the same every day. Caina told me that let's improve her food together. ”

"She's eaten the food you've cooked for so many years, and it's probably hungry." Minamijiro said disapprerovantly: "Of course, the food cooked by my daughter-in-law is the best in the world. ”
