Chapter 26: Sasabe's Tragedy 2nd Winter, a Promise between Young Men in Kanto
"Eh!"
"Sasabe, you're here."
"Ouch, it's that kid on the subway."
"You don't want to take it out on him, do you?"
Followed by.
The two teenagers who came here with Sasabe also came over.
After seeing Sasabe's expression, the two of them immediately understood each other's thoughts.
"how?"
"Do you think I was embarrassed just now?"
At this moment, Sasabe is simply a flammable and explosive powder keg.
Nervous to the extreme.
"Whatever you want."
The two men quickly waved their hands to make their position clear.
But they still have to continue studying at Beigao.
It would be no fun to get into trouble by speaking up for a little kid you don't even know.
"Hey!"
"Senior, do you think your face isn't swollen enough?"
The next moment.
Echizen Ryoma said in a cold voice with an expressionless face.
Ever since the Free State Youth Tennis Tournament, Kitagawa has been a constant in his mind.
I thought there would be no chance for us to meet again.
I didn't expect to see him here.
How could he not be anxious about this?
In this situation, a fool who couldn't even tell how to hold a racket actually stopped him.
It would be strange if Echizen Ryoma could give him a good face.
"Ryoma..."
Ryuzaki Sakuno, who was standing by, looked at Echizen Ryoma, who seemed like a different person, and couldn't help but whisper.
"Ha ha ha ha!!!"
"Kid, you want to go to the stadium, right?"
"If you want to get through, you have to fight me and win."
"Otherwise, I won't let you pass."
Sasabe said coldly with a crazy smile on his face.
At the same time, he swung the racket in his hand a few times.
"In that case."
"Then come on."
Looking back at the Kakiwood Tennis Park where people were moving around, Ryoma Echizen took out a racket from his tennis bag and placed it in his left hand.
This also foreshadowed the beginning of Sasabe's tragic second winter.
About half an hour later.
"Sakura, you're here."
Ryuzaki Sumire, who had been searching in vain, came here.
"grandmother."
After responding, Ryuzaki Sakuno continued to cover her face with her hands, secretly looking at the court through her fingers.
See this.
Ryuzaki Sumire also followed her granddaughter's gaze.
Sasabe, who had been beaten black and blue by Kitagawa not long ago, now looked like a pig's head.
My nose and tears can't stop flowing.
There were intermittent "wuwuwu" sounds coming from his mouth.
"Goodbye."
The words fell without any emotion.
An outspinning serve flew over the net in an instant.
With a crisp sound of impact, it bounced back violently and hit Sasabe's face accurately.
Pfft!
Boom...boom...boom...
After completing the shot, Ryoma Echizen walked directly outside the court, picked up his tennis bag, and headed towards Kakiwood Tennis Park.
"As expected of the Prince of Tennis!"
Looking at the other person's departing back, Ryuzaki Sumire admired him sincerely.
"tennis Prince?"
Ryuzaki Sakuno, who had witnessed the entire brutal match between Sasabe and the others, began to ask after hearing this.
"Ah."
"Echizen Ryoma, son of Echizen Nanjiro."
"Won three consecutive championships in the Free State Youth Tennis Championships."
"Although he's unknown now, he'll definitely be famous in the Japanese tennis world in the future!"
It was as if Ryoma Echizen was her child, and Ryuzaki Sumire's words were full of praise.
The words fell.
Ryuzaki Sakuno also turned her gaze in that direction.
I just don't know who I'm looking at.
And at this moment.
The final of the Kakizaka Youth Tennis Tournament also came to an end.
"Finally done."
"These seniors aren't very capable, but they always love to talk nonsense."
"I'm almost getting calluses in my ears."
Beichuan, who had been fighting fiercely, muttered calmly.
Then he walked off the court with one hand in his pocket and playing with his tennis racket with the other.
A few minutes later.
"Next, please welcome the champion of the under-16 category of this year's Kakizaka Youth Tennis Tournament."
"Player Kitagawa!"
The enthusiastic voices suddenly resounded throughout the Persimmon Wood Tennis Park.
And just when Beichuan stepped onto the podium and picked up the trophy.
At the stadium entrance.
Ryoma Echizen also walked in.
Just for a moment.
Amidst the clamor of the crowd.
Kitagawa and Echizen Ryoma's eyes met.
then.
Beichuan, standing on the podium, took the microphone and started speaking.
"Long time no see, how are you, Xiao Yueyue..."
"Although I know you are very agitated now."
"But I'm a little rushed."
"So, see you at the Kanto Tournament!"
All of a sudden.
Everyone present was stunned.
"The Kanto Tournament?"
Ryoma Echizen, who was standing on the outskirts of the crowd, stared at Kitagawa and repeated it.
Then he took a few deep breaths and spoke loudly.
"Next time, I'll knock your hat off with my serve!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked outside.
Looking at the other person, Beichuan smiled brightly and muttered softly.
“What if I don’t wear a baseball cap?”
......
Kanagawa, 1-8 Fukuura, Kanazawa-ku.
At the Kitagawa family's side.
"It's almost sunset, why haven't you come back yet?"
Kirihara Akaya, with his hands wrapped in bandages and wearing a pair of sunglasses, kept limping back and forth at the door.
Tsk!
"Is that uncle lying to me?"
"You want me to give up before the difficulties?"
"Or does Beichuan not want to see me?"
Suddenly he stopped and looked up at the huge mansion.
"..."
"Should have brought a telescope."
After his expression froze for a moment, Kirihara Akaya began to talk to himself.
"Dingle bell...Dingle bell..."
next moment.
A cell phone ringtone rang.
He took it out of his pocket and saw that the caller was Niou Masaharu.
Kirihara Akaya hesitated for a few seconds before picking up the phone.
"Hey?"
"Little Kelp, when will you come back?"
"Your sister brought your parents to the hospital."
“I can’t take it anymore!”
A rather low voice came over.
It seems like he is secretly talking to Kirihara Akaya.
"Add a barbecue to help me hold on."
“Two meals at MinMin BBQ headquarters!”
"Senior Niou, please don't push your luck!"
"Well, you see. At worst, I won't eat it, but you'll be in trouble. Phew~"
"......make a deal!"
After some bargaining.
Kirihara Akaya was ripped off again.
After hanging up the phone.
A feeling of dizziness suddenly came over me.
"Why do you feel a little dizzy?"
"Beichuan...how did you become two...three...?"
After standing for a whole day without eating or drinking, Kirihara Akaya suddenly froze.
Just when he was about to fall.
An arm with a healthy complexion, clear muscle lines and faintly visible blood vessels caught it directly.
"What a stubborn person!"
Kitagawa, who hurried back, looked at the pale-faced Kirihara Akaya and sighed helplessly.
"I don't know what this guy wants to do."
