next moment.

Mifunerudo glanced at the drink being served and took a cautious sip.

After making sure that he didn't appear drunk.

Only then did he boldly moisten his throat.

Then he looked up at Echizen Nanjiro and spoke slowly.

"I heard you were back in Neon a while ago."

"I was just dealing with some chores today, so I have some free time."

"Plus, there's no one at home today, so I thought of you."

"Speak the truth."

"I actually want to know why you suddenly retired."

The words fell.

The hand stirring the drink with the straw stopped.

"really."

"People's curiosity about this matter has not disappeared until now."

Looking at Mifune Nyudo, Echizen Nanjiro sighed softly.

"For two reasons."

"One is that being invincible is too lonely, and the other is that there is nothing I can do."

"So, it's so comfortable to go home to a warm bed with my wife and children."

Then he smiled casually and continued.

"A physical problem?"

next moment.

Mifunerudo asked, raising an eyebrow.

Although he didn't know what was wrong with Echizen Nanjiro.

But for tennis players, most retirements are due to injuries.

"Are you trying to trick me?"

"Let's not talk about this anymore."

"It's come to this, and saying more will spoil the mood."

"But you, when did you stop drinking?"

Echizen Nanjiro smiled and shook his head, but did not continue.

Instead, he changed the subject.

"I just stopped drinking today."

"I'm afraid that because of drinking, I'll be ripped off by a scoundrel and become a pauper again."

He took a deep look at Echizen Nanjiro.

A hint of regret flashed in Mifunerudo's eyes.

After all, in his opinion, with Echizen Nanjiro's talent, if he had not retired at that time.

Maybe by now, the world tennis would still be dominated by it.

"Oh?"

"Which little fellow is so wise and brave?"

"It's really interesting."

It was as if he had heard a rather amusing joke.

Echizen Nanjiro burst out laughing.

"A first-year junior high school student."

"My name is Beichuan."

Just the next moment.

After Mifunerudo said Kitagawa's name.

The smile on Echizen Nanjiro's face froze instantly.

Because this is not the first time I have heard this name.

But many, many times.

The most important thing is that his son Ryoma Echizen still regards him as a target.

"What a surprise~!"

"I've never met him in person, but I've heard so much about him that I'm almost getting calluses."

Then he sighed softly.

"You, a jerk, weren't you also tricked by that guy into joining the Neon branch of the HERO Tennis Club?"

His hands trembled, and Mifunerudo couldn't help but raise his voice a few decibels as he asked.

After all, if it was just him, it would be fine.

But what if the players I once trained are now my colleagues?

That would be really embarrassing.

"That's not the case. I haven't even seen this young man yet."

"Um?!"

"Old man, aren't you in the Neon U-17 training camp anymore?"

After hearing what Mifune Nyudo said, Echizen Nanjiro opened his eyes wide.

The expression was quite incredible.

"After the start of this year's U-17 World Cup, he disappeared."

"If you have nothing to do, I can introduce you to someone."

"It's better than being a monk ringing a bell."

The stone in his heart fell to the ground instantly, and Sanfen Rudao said solemnly.

Obviously, he was quite dissatisfied with Echizen Nanjiro's appearance.

It would be fine if he just retired, but it's such a waste of talent for a former warrior to become a monk.

"forget it."

"Now I just want to raise my stupid son into something useful."

"If we really go there."

"My stupid son might even be lost."

He curled his lips.

Echizen Nanjiro said with a slightly sour tone.

It is obvious that he is still brooding over what Beichuan asked someone to convey.

"As you wish."

"If I have the chance, I will guide and educate your stupid son."

"Well, the first thing is to make sure he doesn't retire so easily."

"Okay, it's getting late, I'm going home first."

Sneered.

Mifunerudo stood up, said something and walked out of the store.

"..."

"He's already a coach at a branch of one of the top three tennis clubs in the world, and yet he's so stingy."

"What kind of situation has this been caused by the young man from Beichuan?"

I watched helplessly as Mifunerudo passed away so gracefully.

Echizen Nanjiro sighed rather depressedly.

But reach out and touch it.

The depression on his face became more obvious.

no doubt.

He had neither money nor a cell phone with him.

I even couldn't get Nanako Echizen or Ryoma Echizen from home to pay the bill.

As for the phone number, that's even more ridiculous.

"Does this count as me being indirectly tricked by the young man from Beichuan?"

Drink the rest of the drink in one gulp.

With his chin supported by one hand, Echizen Nanjiro muttered helplessly.

"That sighing monk?!"

next moment.

As soon as Akutsu Yuuki, who came to pick up her mother Akutsu Yuuki from the night shift, walked into the store, she saw Echizen Nanjiro.

"..."

"Young man, I see that you have amazing roots and extraordinary talents."

"As long as you pay for my bill, I'll teach you a thing or two."

"I guarantee you'll soar to great heights in the future!"

Looking at familiar faces.

A smile appeared on Echizen Nanjiro's lips.

"Can you let me defeat someone?"

"Kitagawa, the first-year junior high student and the head coach of the Rikkai University Junior High School tennis club."

Looking at Echizen Nanjiro whom he met for the third time, Akutsu asked directly.

As if he was afraid that the other party didn't know who Beichuan was, he specifically explained it.

"..."

The smile on Echizen Nanjiro's face froze for the second time.

I really don't know what to say.

"It seems that you can't do this either."

He said it in a rebellious tone.

Akutsu was about to walk towards the employee rest area in the store.

I had no intention of saying anything more to Echizen Nanjiro.

"!!!"

“I’ll teach you!!!”

Looking at the cashier who had walked up to him.

Echizen Nanjiro shouted loudly.

"it is good."

The corners of his mouth curled up into a slight smile.

Akutsu immediately turned around and walked to the front desk to pay the bill.

[It seems much more effective than brute force...]

"Long Ya."

"I now understand how you felt."

"Really, he's a little brat!"

Looking at Akutsu, Echizen Nanjiro's mouth twitched.

......

Somewhere in the world.

A teenager is leisurely eating an orange.

Well, eat oranges without peeling them.

But just as he finished the last bite.

"Ah!"

He sneezed instantly.

"Who is talking about me?"

"Could it be that little brat?!"

Rubbing his nose, Echizen Ryuya couldn't help but mutter.

Then he looked around subconsciously.

Wait until you are sure that the figure you remember clearly is not there.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
