Prince of Tennis: I am actually Echizen Nanjiro

Nanjiro To be fair, there is really nothing wrong with this job except that it requires getting up early.

From then on, he led a very regular life, which was more calm and comfortable than his previous idleness.

To be honest, he wasn't annoying.

With the help of Tezuka and the young members of the tennis club, the coach's work gradually got on track and went smoothly.

Naturally, I also spent more time communicating with Tezuka.

Echizen Nanjiro almost always reminded himself not to say anything extra to Tezuka.

At Seigaku, Tezuka and I simply had a coach and club manager relationship, and the only things we talked about and thought about were the matters of the tennis club.

The reason he did this was of course because he didn't want to embarrass Tezuka.

It goes without saying that Tezuka would be against bringing personal emotions into work.

Tezuka definitely doesn't like people who don't take their work seriously.

Although Tezuka did not say it explicitly, Nanjiro believed that he still needed to have basic "eyesight".

Otherwise, if Tezuka really gets annoyed with you, he'll be so sad that he'll cry.

His entry into Qingxue was just like Lin Daiyu's entry into the Jia Mansion in Dream of the Red Chamber.

Not willing to say one more word or take one more step easily.

When facing Tezuka during work hours, the words "caution" are ingrained in my bones.

He seemed to be able to see the real him hiding in the shadows of his soul.

He was trembling and shaking with fear, not daring to breathe.

The main reason why I look forward to getting off work quickly every day is not because I want to lie down, but because I hope to face my opponents without any scruples, without having to pretend to be "righteous", "impartial", calm and rational".

This also caused Nanjiro to feel that the distance between him and Tezuka was not so close.

Not to mention enhancing feelings, it’s simply “killing” feelings!

What's the point of spending more time together when we're not as close as before.

What Nanjiro pursues is not just quantity, but quality.

Angry.

(｀?′)=3

However, this is not without benefits.

For example, many members are still optimistic about his changes.

Fuji Kuma (squinting his eyes and smiling): "Coach Nanjiro is very reliable."

Kikumaru-nyan (in high spirits): "Has Nanjiro-san changed? No, he's still very gentle, hehe~(^.^)"

I don't know whose cat prince it is (not caring): "It's still a long way off~"

Viper Xiaoxun: "Hiss~Thanks, Coach~hiss~You helped a lot."

Alas, what can Nanjiro say about this? You have to finish the road you have chosen even if you cry.

o (╥﹏╥) o

In short, at least we must not let down the young people who trust us.

and……

After thinking about it, he felt that his requirements were too high.

Aren't you satisfied with being able to see Tezuka's face most of the time every day?

Really, Tezuka has spoiled himself and is becoming less and less satisfied.

Don't think too much, Nanjiro, just do your job well.

After another conversation about the training plan, Echizen Nanjiro put away the paper documents on the table and prepared to go for lunch in a while.

However, Kunimitsu Tezuka had no intention of leaving.

Echizen Nanjiro raised his head: "Tezuka, is there anything else?"

"Nothing." Tezuka Kunimitsu looked at him and continued, "My mother asked me to bring you some fried chicken nuggets. I'll give them to you later."

Echizen Carnivore Nanjiro's eyes lit up.

The fried chicken nuggets made by Tezuka's mother smell so good, I want to eat them...

"How can this be so embarrassing?"

He felt ashamed when he thought about how greedy he was at Tezuka's house.

Tezuka's family must have thought he was a glutton.

Nanjiro felt too ashamed to see them again.

┭┮﹏┭┮

"Mother hopes you enjoy it."

Lunch time doesn't have to be counted as working time, so maybe Tezuka and I can be more casual.

He glanced at Tezuka and quickly lowered his head.

"Well, Tezuka, let's eat together." As if he felt something was wrong, he added hastily, "Ah, if it's inconvenient for you, then..."

"Okay." Tezuka Kunimitsu nodded, "Do you usually have lunch here?"

"Yeah." He felt his face getting hot, so he simply turned his back, his tone somewhat hesitant, "Then I'll wait for you here..."

"Also..." He tugged at the corner of his clothes helplessly, "Remember to thank your mother for me."

"I understand." Tezuka Kunimitsu's gaze fell on his red earlobe. He always felt that it was tempting for him to stretch out his fingertips to touch it.

It needs a touch of coolness to calm its anxiety and restlessness.

Maybe it will panic and tremble uncomfortably at the first moment of contact, but after it gets used to it, it will become unusually soft and obedient.

Whether at your fingertips, in your palms, or...

Tezuka Kunimitsu clenched his fists, and only loosened them when he felt the restlessness in his heart passed.

This is the first time that Tezuka and I have eaten together at school.

Nanjiro initially thought about having lunch with Ryoma, but the cat prince obviously had no intention of doing so.

Perhaps due to some subtle psychology unique to young people, he felt it was embarrassing to always stay with his stupid father, so he still ate with his classmates as usual.

Echizen Nanjiro was not disappointed.

He is not the kind of parent who likes to control his children too much and feels at ease only when they are under his control.

Besides, he and the Cat Prince really can't be alone together, and even if they have to be alone, it's best not to talk.

Otherwise, within a few words, the two of them could start arguing over some trivial and boring reason.

And in the end, Nanjiro is often the only one who gets angry.

It is said that children aged seven or eight are very annoying. No matter how old he is, he still makes people want to pinch his face.

Oh my, I’m about to have dinner with Tezuka, why am I still thinking about this troublesome thing?

The sky is big and the earth is big, and eating is the biggest thing.

Seal, seal. Forget, forget.

He looked at his lunch box.

Nanjiro wondered what Tezuka would like.

Fortunately, Renko's cooking has always been light in flavor - unless there are special circumstances, such as when Echizen Nanjiro requests it - and Tezuka is not a picky eater.

Kunimitsu Tezuka opened the lunch box and first picked up a large piece of fried chicken for him.

"Woo..." It smells so good~

The fried chicken nuggets made by Tezuka’s mother are particularly delicious. Even though they are not hot, they are still golden and crispy and extremely delicious.

Isn’t this considered a specialty?

He had already started shamelessly thinking about when he would have the chance to go to Tezuka's house for a free meal again.

"It's delicious, Tezuka, you should try it too."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a big mouthful of rice, not leaving himself even a moment's rest.

So satisfying~

o(*￣▽￣*)o

So be a glutton. Tezuka has seen all kinds of me.

There were probably several times when I cried my eyes out and it was too horrible to look at.

The delicious food completely "destroyed" his willpower, and he had long thrown away the "lofty ideals" he had when he first came to Qingxue.

Ψ(￣?￣)Ψ

Just lie down and play badly. Tezuka is the only one who is good. I should be allowed to slack off.

?(???????)?

“Awoooo ...

Fortunately, Takeuchi Junko had the foresight to prepare an extra-large lunch box for him, otherwise it would not be enough for him.

When his appetite was at its best, he ate more than the whole family combined (including Karubin).

Fortunately, this is a rare case, otherwise no matter what Nanjiro said, Takeuchi Rinko would insist on taking him to the hospital to see whether his stomach was just a simple stomach or a big black hole.

But his flesh grows very slowly.

Junko Takeuchi spared no effort to raise and feed him, and turned a blind eye to his sneaking out to eat desserts with his pocket money.

In the past month, I have only gained about one kilogram.

Where have all the nutrients gone?

Or is it not enough?

Is this Taotie's reincarnation?

Alas, why is there any need to diet? As long as it does not affect his health and can help him gain weight, let him eat.

It’s not like I can’t afford it.

I just don't know the situation of other families.

Can you raise it? Are you willing to raise it?

Forget it, Takeuchi Junko made up her mind, at worst she could go over to do some home decoration.

I don’t think other people can say anything more.

Echizen Nanjiro currently doesn't know that Renko is planning to "kick him out", and is still enjoying the food innocently and carefree.

"Tezuka, tamagoyaki is delicious, have one." He moved his lunch box closer to Tezuka.

"it is good."

Tezuka Kunimitsu picked one up with chopsticks.

Echizen Nanjiro stopped eating and stared at Tezuka without blinking.

How's it going, Tezuka?

Tasty?

It must be delicious, right?

?(′?`?)

No one can ignore such expectant and shining eyes.

“It’s delicious, Coach.”

After receiving Tezuka's approval, Echizen Nanjiro smiled happily.

"As long as you like it."

(* ^ ▽ ^ *)

Only because I became a coach did I have the opportunity to have dinner with Tezuka.

very nice.

If every day you could...

No, no.

He shook his head vigorously.

What's wrong with Tezuka watching me eat like a wolf, devouring everything in sight every day?

You are indeed an idiot, Nanjiro.

He then added: "Don't call me coach in private, it's a bit, a bit strange."

He even wanted Tezuka to call him by his name, but he was 100% sure that Tezuka would not agree.

This is the most disciplined person.

It's already the limit that he's willing to tolerate his occasional mischief, so it's not good to make things difficult for him over trivial matters.

Nanjiro bit down hard, and the whole tamagoyaki burned into his mouth and was swallowed in a few bites.

I have stressed this many times before, he did not become a coach just to get closer to Tezuka. No.

Why do I always think about Tezuka?

Do you still want to work hard?

Alas, beauty can lead to the downfall of a country. Nanjiro must firmly hold on to his original intention.

Then he stole another glance at Tezuka's face.

This……

(??)

I love it so much, it's totally in line with my aesthetic taste.

It seems like you don’t need any side dishes when eating.

(づ￣3￣)づ╭?～

Humph, he's such a good-looking boy, why does he have to be so handsome?

╭ (╯ ^ ╰) ╮

Hiring.

Even an iceberg can't recruit people.

Don't think he doesn't know, there are many girls who come to Tezuka to confess their love.

Although it is clear that Tezuka will not accept it at this stage...

Even though he knew...

What kind of person will Tezuka fall in love with in the future?

Smart? Beautiful? Gentle? Confident?

Just at this moment, Tezuka Kunimitsu spoke up: "Mr. Nanjiro, eat some more vegetables."

"Yeah, okay." He lowered his head and smiled, "This broccoli looks juicy, fresh and delicious. Let me eat them all in one go."

"Ouch, ow, ow..."

The important thing is to concentrate on eating.

Nothing else matters.

Do not worry about it.
