Prince of Tennis: I am actually Echizen Nanjiro

"Tennis store?"

Echizen Nanjiro stopped and asked whether he should buy something for Ryoma.

Ah, no money, I almost forgot.

Forget it, forget it, let’s go home!

"Mr. Nanjiro."

This voice, could it be...

Fuji Shusuke walked over with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet Mr. Nanjiro here."

Black-bellied Little Bear Fuji Shusuke! Level 1 alert! Level 1 alert!

"I didn't expect to meet you, Fuji, and... Tezuka!"

Oh my god, what day is today? First I accidentally ran into Ryoma and Sakurano’s date, and then I met Fuji and Tezuka. Wait, are they... also on a date?

He looked at Fuji, then at Tezuka beside Fuji, and then looked at Fuji again.

It’s no wonder that these two people, one is aloof and the other is gentle, and they are both extremely good-looking teenagers. It is really pleasing to the eyes standing together. No wonder they are the most popular CP in Prince of Tennis.

"Mr. Nanjiro?"

His eyes kept moving between himself and Fuji. What was he thinking about?

Hearing Tezuka's voice, Echizen Nanjiro couldn't help but blurt out: "You two are a good match."

Tezuka just frowned, while Fuji looked surprised.

It's over! Why did he just say what was in his heart?

How to deal with this?

"No, no, I was wrong."

He frantically tried to make up his mind: "What I want to say is, um, are you two dating now?"

No! Not this one!

Tezuka's frown deepened.

At this time, you should say polite words instead of what's in your heart!

Echizen Nanjiro was so desperate that he almost ran away.

There's no point saying anything now, so just apologize honestly.

He lowered his head: "I'm sorry."

First I forgot to bring money to the supermarket, then I accidentally ruined Ryoma's date, and now I'm meeting Tezuka and Fuji...

It seems that today is not a good day to travel.

"Haha, Mr. Nanjiro is really interesting."

Mr. Nanjiro, how can you be so naive! Why did you appear before Tezuka and me instead of a smarter and more reasonable person?

Fuji Shusuke couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In reality, he reached out and rubbed Echizen Nanjiro's hair. The touch, which was not very soft, felt unexpectedly good.

Echizen Nanjiro was a little surprised: "Fuji, what are you doing?"

"Because I think Mr. Nanjiro is very cute." The little bear smiled very warmly.

But…but…but…cute?

He? An old man, Fuji said he was... cute!

Wha…wha…what do you mean?

He began to frown and think over and over, but still couldn't understand what Bu Er meant.

"I don't understand what you're saying."

"Ok."

Fuji Shusuke felt that this Mr. Nanjiro was really hard to describe. He would overthink when he shouldn't, and wouldn't overthink when he should. He looked at you innocently, and it was almost like he had the words "I'm innocent, come and cheat me" written on his forehead. Is it really okay to let him go out alone? He would be cheated, right?

“By the way, are you here to buy something in this store?” Echizen Nanjiro quickly took the opportunity to change the subject.

Fuji Shusuke smiled and said, "Yes, the Metropolitan Games are coming soon, so let's go to the tennis supply store with Tezuka to prepare everything we need."

"'Don't be so careless!', isn't it?"

He deliberately imitated Tezuka's expression and tone and said Tezuka's catchphrase, and then couldn't help laughing.

"Mr. Nanjiro, you know Tezuka very well."

Fuji's voice was so gentle that he forgot to be on guard for a moment.

"Of course, I am the most..."

The smug tone suddenly stopped, and after he came to his senses, he broke out in a cold sweat.

"The most?" Fuji Shusuke asked with a smile.

Stop! Stop now! I can't go on talking!

"me……"

Echizen Nanjiro started to panic. When he saw Tezuka, he immediately looked at him for help: Save me, Tezuka, wuwuwu... I shouldn't have joked with you.

Tezuka Kunimitsu understood his straightforward expression: "Fuji, Mr. Nanjiro should have something else to do."

"Yes, I have something to do and need to go home quickly. You guys should go shopping as well. I won't disturb you from your date. No, get ready. Yes, that's right. I won't disturb you from getting ready."

He had to run away quickly.

As expected, if you stay with the little bear, you will only be cheated.

"Mr. Nanjiro, is there something important?"

"Yeah." He nodded affirmatively with great effort.

Fuji Shusuke showed a regretful expression: "But I was thinking that after buying the things, I would treat Mr. Nanjiro to dessert..."

Wait, dessert...

Echizen Nanjiro's eyes gradually lit up, and Fuji Shusuke obviously noticed this and continued casually, "That store is very famous. It sells tiramisu, chocolate cake, ice cream, and..."

"Well, I..."

"What's wrong? Mr. Nanjiro." Fuji Shusuke's face was full of confusion.

He stammered, "I suddenly remembered that there's nothing else to do next."

"Hey, but didn't Mr. Nanjiro just say that there was something important?"

"We can do it tomorrow, Fuji, that..."

He lowered his head and said in a very low voice: "Chocolate cake, want..."

Fuji Shusuke seemed to know how powerful Mr. Nanjiro was.

He is good at showing weakness, which makes him cute and lovable; he also won't hide himself and speaks his mind directly, even though he often feels regretful and uneasy afterwards.

How can I, who am used to smiling at others, compare to such a person?

He said "I want it", who could refuse?

"Sure, Mr. Nanjiro, I'll take you there once Tezuka and I finish our shopping, okay?"

Like coaxing a child, he faced this person whom he should have disliked.

"Yeah, okay." Echizen Nanjiro smiled happily, "Thank you, Fuji."

A few pieces of cake and you're hooked. Mr. Nanjiro, are you a three or four-year-old child? You're so easy to please! Are you really an adult? Echizen is more reliable than you.

The three of them entered the tennis equipment store. Fuji Shusuke and Tezuka Kunimitsu went inside the store to choose the tennis equipment they needed, while Echizen Nanjiro was waiting for them not far from the door.

"Tezuka, you can smell it too, right? Mr. Nanjiro has a sweet scent all over his body, but he himself seems to be unaware of it."

Fuji Shusuke picked up a sweatband with a smile, took a quick look at it and put it down.

This is not what he wants.

Tezuka Kunimitsu looked at him, his tone unusually serious: "Fuji, why do you want to keep Mr. Nanjiro?"

"Because I like him very much, is that not okay?" After finding the sweat-absorbent belt that he usually uses, Fuji Shusuke finally showed a satisfied smile on his face.

"Didn't I tell you he's cute?"

"Fuji, don't joke with Mr. Nanjiro." Tezuka Kunimitsu said in a deep voice.

"I'm not kidding, Tezuka." Fuji Shusuke opened his eyes, revealing a cold blue color.

"I was serious."

"Tezuka, can't I like him?"

Tezuka Kunimitsu did not answer him, but turned and went to a nearby place to choose a wristband.

Is this your answer? A bitter taste spread in my heart.

Why do you always keep silent?

No matter if you answer "yes" or "no", I can always smile and say "Tezuka, this is just a joke." What do you want me to do now?

Fuji Shusuke looked at Echizen Nanjiro and found that he seemed to be having a good conversation with the owner. He even put on the store's tennis hat and looked very energetic.

Why are you so likable? Mr. Nanjiro.

Fuji Shusuke was a little envious of him.

"Well, have you finished buying?" Echizen Nanjiro took off his hat and turned to ask.

Tezuka Kunimitsu simply responded, with a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes.

Fuji Shusuke smiled and approached him: "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Echizen Nanjiro shook his head and smiled, "No."

The bright sunshine outside seemed to be no match for their brightness and warmth.

Although they had just met, they now got along as naturally as close friends.

Fuji said he was serious, he liked Mr. Nanjiro?

Is it that kind of love? Tezuka Kunimitsu doesn't know.

"Tezuka, Tezuka." Echizen Nanjiro came to him, "What's wrong with you? Fuji has already paid the bill."

Tezuka Kunimitsu paid the bill silently without saying a word.

After leaving the tennis equipment store, Echizen Nanjiro kept muttering "chocolate cake". Fuji Shusuke didn't expect that he liked desserts so much.

"Tezuka, I'm going to take Nanjiro-san to a nearby dessert shop. Will you come with us?"

Tezuka Kunimitsu was about to say that he would not go, but he saw Echizen Nanjiro's eyes full of expectation: Come on, Tezuka, go with me, okay?

"Okay." Tezuka Kunimitsu nodded.

"Great!" Echizen Nanjiro was very happy, "I knew Tezuka was the best, come on, let's go!"

Fuji Shusuke smiled and said, "Tezuka is really 'good', right, Mr. Nanjiro."

"Yeah." In his extreme excitement, Nanjiro Echizen didn't notice anything wrong.

Because Tezuka is really good, I think everyone thinks so.

When they arrived at the place, Fuji Shusuke smiled and said, "This is it."

It was not until Echizen Nanjiro walked into the store that he realized that almost all the people here were teenage girls. As soon as the three of them entered, they attracted everyone's attention.

Facing the girls' direct and curious gazes, he pulled on Bu Er's sleeve and said, "Bu Er, why don't we go? I, I suddenly don't want to eat."

Fuji Shusuke smiled and said, "Most of the people who like desserts are girls. It's normal to have a lot of people on Saturday. Is there anything strange about it?"

Bu Er, don’t you feel these “passionate” gazes? I don’t believe it!

Echizen Nanjiro figured it out. No wonder the little bear was so kind as to treat him to dessert. It turned out that he had a plan.

Although Tezuka Kunimitsu did not say anything, he realized that this was a "prank" by Fuji Shusuke.

"Mr. Nanjiro, now that we are here, it would be a shame not to eat something."

Fuji Shusuke looked around and said, "Oh, how lucky! There are still seats available. Let's go, Tezuka, Mr. Nanjiro."

Holding Echizen Nanjiro's wrist, he took him directly to a table by the window and sat down.
