Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Legendary Samurai
There were only funny programs and TV news on TV, and the Dew Point program was only broadcast in the late night slot, so Minamijiro Echizen, who had nothing to do, had to lie in his yard, his feet wrapped around a rope on stilts and read a magazine while striking the clock.
A short time later, someone approached.
Listening to the footsteps, it is his wife Echizen Tsuko.
A little faster than usual. He thought.
"Nanjiro, Ryuya has returned home." Her voice wasn't all joy, it was worry.
"Did he get into trouble?" He asked.
"Yes."
"Alas, I knew it would be like this, and I had already reminded him to be more restrained." Echizen Nanjiro sighed, but the conversation changed suddenly, "But, compared to him causing trouble, I want to know if he has suffered a loss?" That kid always looks cool, and I've been wondering who can jump out and clean him up. ”
Hearing this unbeaten, Echizen Lunzi shook his head helplessly. No wonder the two children below are so stubborn and strong, and it's not for no reason.
"It's a loss." She thought for a moment, "It's pretty big." ”
"How big?"
"Taken away by the police."
"Huh!?" Echizen Minamijiro exclaimed in surprise and turned around, but was a little embarrassed by the bell rope wrapped around his feet. But his eyes were always on his wife, "Red bean paste? ”
Echizen Ryoko stepped forward to untie the bell rope on his ankle: "Mifune said that it was related to the recent tennis attack. ”
"Oh, it's Mifune, that's probably true." Mifune is the head coach of the U-17 Adojuku and one of the top executives of the Tennis Association, and has a lot of energy.
Standing up, Echizen Minamijiro moved his limbs and said, "That kid is not in the way, after all, suffering losses is also a part of life." He is still young, and it is not bad for him to suffer a loss. I used to worry that his life would be too smooth. ”
After speaking, he yawned and said, "Sleepy, take a nap." He left the courtyard and walked to his room.
"Really, I care about him very much, why can't I show my thoughts generously..."Seeing her husband who is no different from a child, Echizen Ryoko thinks that it is really difficult for her to be a housekeeper, and there is no one from top to bottom who makes her worry.
Such thoughts also appeared in Minamijiro's mind.
Echizen Ryuya was taken away by the police?
Well, the news is quite shocking.
Although this adopted son left him very early, he had also heard about his abilities and experiences, and heard that he was a person who acted domineeringly, spoke sourly, and started madness to make people jealous, but he was always a rule-abiding person. As a result, such a well-behaved person was taken away by the police today, which made him feel a burst of heat on his face.
But seriously, his first thought after hearing it was to make a phone call and fish people out before anything else? But in this way, it shows that he has been secretly paying attention to the whereabouts of the other party, and it is contrary to his non-interference speech, so it is not easy to do so. Besides, he wanted to know what had happened and who had caused the boy to capsize in the gutter.
He took out his mobile phone and dialed Mifune's number.
As soon as it was connected, the microphone came from the other party's irritable voice.
"If you have a fart, let it go, don't delay Lao Tzu to drink."
"If you really wanted to drink, you wouldn't answer my phone right now."
"Hmph, you really taught a good son."
"It's like you didn't teach a 'monster.'" Minamijiro Echizen emphasized the word 'monster'.
Judging from the current situation, both of them are actually half a pound or two, and no one should laugh at anyone.
He didn't say anything polite, and said straight to the point: "Do me a favor, I'm going to talk to that kid on the phone." ”
"You wait." Mifune hung up.
Lying on the tatami mat, Minamijiro Echizen wondered what was going on. However, due to the asymmetry of information, there is no way to know. But the person who can make that kid suffer a big loss is not easy to think about.
Forget it, don't want to.
He thought, he will know everything later, why waste that brain?
In the process of flipping through the magazine, the minutes and seconds passed.
Twenty minutes later, the phone rang.
As soon as he connected, a sigh was heard from the other side.
"Dad, I suffered a big loss this time."
In the past, all I heard was a show-off tone, but suddenly I heard a sigh, and Echizen Minamijiro was really a little unaccustomed.
"Alright, let's talk."
"Hmm. But I don't know where to start..."
"Let's start with your loss."
"What about before this?"
"You're probably taking what you promised me like a fart. If you had taken it to heart, it wouldn't have happened today. ”
Because things are just as Echizen Minamijiro said, Echizen Ryuya was speechless. He coughed dryly and honestly told the story of what had happened.
Echizen Minamijiro's expression hasn't changed, it's not that he hasn't had emotional ups and downs, but that he has rarely heard things of interest over the years. It wasn't until he heard that the person who made Echizen Ryuya suffer was called Awaara, and his face finally changed.
"Awabara? Are you sure it's this last name? ”
"Well, I found out when I talked to the police uncle in charge of the guard."
Echizen Minamijiro sighed: "You really don't stop." ”
"I'm not here to inquire about news."
"Are you sure it's not to inquire about the other party's residence?"
"Alas, that police uncle is very cautious at critical times."
Hearing Echizen Ryuya say this, the corners of Echizen Minamijiro's mouth rose sharply: "Before you decide to take revenge and go back, I think it's better for you to learn about that kid's information first, otherwise next time it won't be as simple as going to the police station, maybe you have to go to the hospital." ”
"Daddy, do you know him?"
"He is a member of the Kendo club of Teidan High School, has zero tennis experience, and he led the opponent in the game against Aishin Tezuka, and hit a world-class return shot in the second game." Echizen Minamijiro replied by looking at the magazine at hand.
“... No way? That's the professional seed that Borg is looking for. ”
"This is what I saw in the magazine, and I will confirm with the old woman later that the news is true or false, but I think the element of fraud should not be high." He added a reminder, "You should be well aware of this." ”
There was a hum on the other end of the phone.
"So you're not going to be annoyed?" Echizen Minamijiro said, "This is a genius that is rare to see in decades, and if you go against such a person, you will have a hard time in the future!" ”
"Well, to be honest, I'm not one of those people who will sue my parents after being beaten, but if I really can't help it, I can only throw myself into your arms. After all, you're a once-in-a-century genius, and you're a decades more famous than that kid. ”
"You don't have to say that, do you? They all call me old. ”
"Don't worry, I won't complicate things, I'm not an unknown person."
"It's important to know each other. However, Long Ya, there is no need to think about these things when family members get along with each other. ”
"Definitely, I've always been the quickest person to get to know each other. So this time, I will be responsible for the consequences. ”
Friends may need to be more or less observant, but in the face of their own family, they still have to pay attention to the sense of proportion, which is really less and less cute.
After hanging up the phone, Minamijiro Echizen thought so.
After a while, the phone rang again. He glanced at the call, it was Mifune.
"What's the matter?"
"I just recruited a new member."
Hearing his words, Echizen Minamijiro's eyes narrowed slightly.
What's going on with this sudden sense of incongruity?
Is it because Mifune doesn't speak with thorns? Too unangry? Still is...
And so on –
A bold idea flashed through his head.
"Don't tell me that the new member's name is Awabara?"
"That's right, but there's no reward."
"You did it on purpose, didn't you?" Echizen Minamijiro was angry.
He only knew who 'Awabara' was on the front foot, and Mifune called on the back foot to say that he didn't mean to...
"What do you say? I don't understand. ”
"Aren't you afraid of becoming a fool if you pretend to be stupid at this age?"
He didn't know if Mifune was a fool, but he knew that the purpose of the other party's call was not only to show off, but also to warn him, the person who made your child suffer is now covered by me, you don't have any other ideas, if there is any dispute, let's solve it on the tennis court.
This made him feel the urge to have a myocardial infarction.
Does he have a problem with a child?
It really saddened him that Mifune Norido imagined himself to be that kind of despicable person.
Break up, you have to break up!
He hung up the phone and dialed another set of numbers.
Soon after, an unexpected sound was heard on the other end.
"Yo, Nanjiro, how did you remember that my old woman is here..."
