Legendary tennis, starting from signing up to talent

With the end of the prefectural and county conferences in various parts of Japan.

The private junior high school teams that advanced to the Kanto, Kansai, Chubu, Tohoku, Hokuriku, Sanyo and Sanin regional competitions also started their own dinner activities.

However, because they are junior high school students.

They are not like those office workers who go home early to find their mothers after eating and drinking.

Tokyo, Echizen's house.

"I'm back~"

Echizen Ryoma opened the door and walked in, taking off his shoes while saying.

The only one who responded to him was the cat Kalubin.

"Meow~!"

"A-choo!"

After touching Kalubin who rubbed against his legs.

Suddenly, a strange smell rushed into Echizen Ryoma's nasal cavity, and he sneezed instantly.

Then.

There was a sound outside the house.

"Uncle!!!"

"You can't go back until the smell on you disappears!"

At this moment, Echizen Nanako covered her mouth and nose with a wet towel, and shouted loudly, almost collapsing.

"Nanako..."

"Don't be so heartless."

"It's scary to take a bath in an empty temple in the middle of the night!"

"What if an old nun covets my beauty?"

Walk out of the house and go around the back of the house.

Echizen Ryoma saw Echizen Nanjiro standing at the door of the temple, and Echizen Nanako who quickly stepped back.

"Dad, how long have you not taken a bath?"

Just now, I was surprised why Echizen Nanako was like that.

The next moment, Echizen Ryoma felt the horrible smell coming towards him.

In an instant.

Echizen Ryoma covered his mouth and nose and asked with a breath.

"Uncle, you can wash in the temple. I'll check the house to see if there is a gas mask, and then bring you hot water."

"With this level of smell, you will be driven out even if you go to the sento."

Echizen Nanako did not give Echizen Nanjiro a chance to speak.

She spoke loudly at the first time.

Then she pulled Echizen Ryoma into the house.

"I..."

Looking at his niece and son like this, Echizen Nanjiro could only say one word in the end.

Then he quickly covered his mouth.

At this moment.

Echizen Nanjiro's eyes can be said to reflect the sadness of a widow, the confusion of a five-guarantee household, the loneliness of a bachelor, the regret of a leftover woman, and the grievance and despair of a married woman.

It is also the heartache that ibuprofen cannot stop, and the sadness that fluoxetine cannot relieve.

He now regrets why he has nothing to do to join in the fun, and why he really eats the candy.

Not only was he avoided by others in the audience of the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly, but also on the way back.

Even after returning home, Karubin wanted to bury him like cat shit, and was driven to the temple by Echizen Nanako.

However.

It was precisely because of these changes.

that Echizen Nanjiro ignored his own changes.

On the other side.

After Echizen Nanako pulled Echizen Ryoma back to the house.

"Huh..."

She took off the wet towel and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"What happened to uncle?"

"He was fine when I left home this morning."

"Could he be sick?"

"It seems that I have to talk to my aunt and ask uncle to go to the hospital for a check-up..."

After roughly explaining the situation to Echizen Ryoma.

Echizen Nanako searched through the boxes for a gas mask.

Originally, this thing was prepared in advance to prevent natural disasters such as earthquakes, but who would have thought that it would be used here.

"Sick?"

Slightly startled.

Echizen Ryoma's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

As if he understood something in an instant.

He began to imagine.

"It's not necessarily the case."

"Maybe uncle fell into the stinking ditch, or maybe he flirted with a little girl and got rotten eggs thrown at him."

"Ryoma, don't think too much."

After finally finding the gas mask, Echizen Nanako turned around and saw the distraught Echizen Ryoma, and hurried to comfort him.

"I'll bring some hot water to my dad."

Took a deep breath.

Echizen Ryoma took the gas mask from Echizen Nanako's hand and said seriously.

"Okay."

Looking at Echizen Ryoma's appearance, Echizen Nanako didn't say anything more in the end.

Instead, she hurried to get some hot water.

Not long after.

Boom!

Wearing a gas mask, holding a large bathtub in one hand and a bucket of hot water in the other, Echizen Ryoma came to the temple.

After he put it down.

In sight.

Echizen Nanjiro was looking depressed, holding his chin with his hands and sighing.

"Dad."

"I think if youBrush your teeth first? "

"I have to lift it for a while before the tub can be filled."

Although he was wearing a gas mask, the smell of Nanjiro Echizen's sigh broke through the defense line and rushed into Ryoma Echizen's nasal cavity.

"..."

"My stupid son is starting to dislike me~"

"Wuwuwu, I'm going to make a fuss..."

In an instant.

Nanjiro Echizen rolled around like a child.

However.

Finally, under Ryoma Echizen's gaze, he still picked up the toothbrush and brushed his teeth.

"Dad, are you sick?"

Just turned around and didn't take a few steps.

Ryoma Echizen finally asked this question.

The original sound of brushing teeth also stopped at this time.

"What?"

"Are you thinking about when to remove my oxygen tube? "

After taking a deep look at Echizen Ryoma's back, Echizen Nanjiro asked back cautiously.

"Dad."

"Do you think I have stepped out of the shadow of the samurai?"

Seeing Echizen Nanjiro like that, Echizen Ryoma did not continue to ask.

Instead, he asked this question.

"Didn't that little brat say it?"

"It's still a long way off!"

"Hua Lu Gu Lu..."

After rinsing the foam in his mouth with water, Echizen Nanjiro's fatherly love suddenly revealed his shortcomings like a landslide.

"..."

"Old man, are you really not afraid that I will pull out your oxygen tube in the future?"

With a sluggish expression, Echizen Ryoma curled his lips and said depressedly.

Then he walked towards his home in front without looking back.

"I didn't lie. "

He exhaled and sniffed, and found that there was no change.

Echizen Nanjiro looked up and found that his son had gone far away.

The original smiling expression gradually disappeared.

Then a faint sigh sounded.

"The shadow of a samurai is not something you can walk out of without what I teach you."

"Instead, you need to feel the tennis you desire and love with your heart."

"What a stupid son~!"

"But speaking of it."

"When will this smell disappear?"

"Wait a minute!"

"What did that little brat say?"

"One month!!! "

Suddenly awake, Echizen Nanjiro opened his eyes wide.

This time, he was really sweating.

He could bear the constipation for a month by himself.

But if the stench continued for a month.

Even if he said he was not sick, Echizen Nanako and the others would definitely send him to the hospital for examination.
