Prince of Tennis: I am actually Echizen Nanjiro

Renzi went to the supermarket to buy ingredients for dinner and stayed at home alone.

He has all the memories of the original Echizen Nanjiro, and as for tennis...

I picked up the tennis racket that Echizen Nanjiro often used, and felt no emotion at all.

Clearly, the strong bond this body once had with tennis has disappeared.

And Echizen Ryoma is now his son.

It's really a bit funny that I actually have the chance to become a boy's father.

He lay casually on the wooden floor of the corridor, with the slanting sunlight shining down, providing just the right amount of warmth.

"Meow... meow..." A large, soft creature suddenly crawled onto his body.

I was woken up just when I was about to fall asleep.

After seeing the "culprit", he suddenly realized: "It turned out to be Karubin."

He stood up and held it in his arms.

Karubin was rare in not making a fuss and let Nanjiro stroke his fur over and over again.

“It turns out it’s exactly the same as in the anime.”

Echizen Nanjiro lifted up Karubin and exclaimed at the sunlight.

The face, ears, feet and tail are brown, and the rest is white.

"Karubin, you look like a Himalayan cat, right?" asked Nanjiro Echizen, looking at its round, bright eyes.

"Meow... meow..." Karubin kicked his legs in dissatisfaction.

"Okay, okay, I won't bother you anymore." After saying that, he continued to hold Carrubin in his arms and stroke his fur.

He had never had a pet in his previous life. Although he and Qingyue both liked cute animals, they ultimately did not try to live with them.

After all, it is a life, they have to be cautious.

"Karubin, do you know who I am?"

Echizen Nanjiro asked it anyway, even though he knew it wouldn't answer.

Seeing Karubin nestled in his arms with his eyes squinted and looking lazy, Echizen Nanjiro couldn't help but laugh. It is true that cuteness is justice, and cute things can heal people's hearts!

The sound of the door opening was heard, and Karubin immediately jumped out of his arms and ran towards the direction where the sound came from.

Echizen Nanjiro also followed.

Lunzi is back? That's a little too soon.

Looking closely, it turned out that the person who came was not Lunzi, but a young man.

The big cat-like eyes are filled with sunshine, pride, and the wildness of a small animal.

Wearing the pure black school uniform of Qingxue, she looks even more outstanding and unique.

With a tennis racket on his back, he looked unruly but behaved properly. He had obviously seen Echizen Nanjiro, and while changing into his indoor shoes, he said, "I'm back."

Although he was not yet ready to meet Ryoma Echizen, Nanjiro Echizen still took the initiative to communicate with him with a smile, hoping to bring the two closer together as soon as possible.

"Ryoma, how was your day? Was the training tough?"

Echizen Ryoma raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Dad, did you get in a car accident and damage your brain?"

Echizen Nanjiro was instantly petrified...

What a sharp-tongued and arrogant little prince.

Echizen Nanjiro couldn't help but reach out and pinch his cheek: "You are young but your words are so irritating."

Could it be that this personality is really inherited from the young Nanjiro Echizen?

Just as I was about to say something else, a yawn suddenly came over me.

"Longma, I'm a little sleepy. I'm going to sleep for a while."

Why do I suddenly feel sleepy?

Is it because of the injury?

Thinking of this, I feel a little dizzy again.

Sleep, sleep, sleep quickly.

Sleep is a good medicine to cure diseases and save lives. Sleep is the eternal salvation of mankind, and it is hope and eternal light.

It's abnormal, too abnormal. No matter how I look at it, there seems to be something wrong with my dad, but I can't really put my finger on what's wrong. It's just weird anyway.

Ryoma Echizen frowned, and at this moment, Karubin suddenly jumped on him, temporarily diverting his attention from Echizen Nanjiro.

"Ryoma, dinner is ready." Takeuchi Rinko shouted after preparing dinner.

"coming."

Echizen Ryoma came out of the room and came to the living room.

"Dad, is he okay?"

"The doctor said there's no problem." Renzi smiled and said, "Ryoma, can you please bring Nanjiro over for dinner? I went to his room to check on him a while ago, and he was sleeping soundly. I guess he hasn't woken up yet."

Echizen Ryoma walked to the door, opened it and looked inside.

As expected, Echizen Nanjiro was sleeping on the bed.

"Dad, wake up, it's time to eat."

Echizen Ryoma pushed him slightly.

Echizen Nanjiro just frowned but didn't wake up.

As a last resort, Echizen Ryoma had to continue calling him, "Dad, get up and have dinner."

This time it worked. Echizen Nanjiro opened his eyes dazedly: "Ryoma..."

He yawned, rubbed his eyes, and lazily scratched his messy hair. His face was flushed and his voice was weak.

The quilt was not opened and was draped over the body.

His eyes were not fully open and he looked extremely sleepy.

Echizen Ryoma reached out and touched his forehead. It was a little hot, but that was normal.

After all, he had never seen his father look weak other than during this period, so it was inevitable that he was worried.

Echizen Nanjiro hugged him tightly, humming in his throat: "I want to sleep... I feel sleepy..."

Faced with this sudden and intimate contact that was like an "attack", in the first moment, Ryoma Echizen's whole body did subconsciously stiffen, and he even showed obvious panic and helplessness.

But he was obviously not an ordinary child and he quickly calmed down.

"No, Dad, sleep after dinner."

Is dad acting like a spoiled child to me?

Or was he kidding himself?

Echizen Ryoma was unsure of what he meant.

"I'm sleepy..."

There was no choice, so Echizen Ryoma had to hold his hand and drag him step by step to the dining table and let him sit down.

After sitting down, Echizen Nanjiro was still in a daze.

"Nanjiro, are you feeling unwell?" Renko looked at him worriedly.

He sobered up a little and shook his head: "It's okay, I'm just sleepy."

As he spoke, he casually scooped up a spoonful of soup and put it into his mouth.

Delicious!

His eyes lit up instantly and looked sparkling.

After a while, he finished a bowl of rice with a "woop woop" sound.

Then he raised the bowl and looked at Renzi hopefully: "Anything else?"

After finishing his meal, Echizen Nanjiro lay down on the sofa again.

But by this time he was already awake and lying there was simply out of boredom.

Renzi came over and said, "Nanjiro, I seem to have a cold. You and Ryoma should sleep together for the next few days."

"Hey! Are there no other rooms in the house?"

Although Renzi took the initiative to suggest sleeping in separate rooms to solve his problem, he never thought about sleeping with Ryoma!

Renko sat next to him. "There are three rooms in total, us, Ryoma and Nanako. There is one vacant room, but it has been unoccupied for a long time and I use it as a storage room. It's a bit troublesome to sort it out. So I'll ask Nanjiro to sleep with Ryoma for the time being."

Echizen Nanjiro was a little worried: "Will it be inconvenient for Ryoma?"

"I've already talked to Longma, and he agreed." Renzi chuckled, "Wouldn't it be nice for you and your son to get closer like this?"

Is it good?

Hmm... I don't think it's good.

Since Longma had agreed, there was no way for me to say anything against it.

Echizen Nanjiro found his clothes in the closet, took a shower, and walked to the door of Ryoma's room.

After hesitating for a long time, he knocked on the door gently a few times: "Ryoma, are you in there?"

Just after he finished speaking, Echizen Ryoma came over and opened the door: "Dad, come in."

Echizen Nanjiro followed Ryoma in and looked at the layout of the room. It turned out that this was Ryoma's style, light and bright, very youthful.

Karubin was lying in his little nest, apparently asleep.

Echizen Nanjiro looked at Ryoma's small bed and felt that it would be difficult for two people to sleep on it: "Ryoma, why don't I sleep on the floor."

I can't cause trouble to the lovely cat prince.

"Dad, Mom told me seriously to take good care of you. What if something happens to you while you're sleeping on the floor?"

Echizen Ryoma widened his eyes wide, making Echizen Nanjiro feel even more guilty.

He didn't understand why he felt guilty. Perhaps it was because the boy's eyes were too clear.

"What could possibly happen if you sleep on the ground?" Echizen Nanjiro couldn't help but retort softly.

"Dad, please be more self-aware, okay? You're still injured."

Because of the Cat Prince's insistence, Echizen Nanjiro lay on the bed with a little nervousness.

It turns out that the small bed can accommodate him.

The uneasiness in my heart has dissipated a lot.

"Ryoma, aren't you going to sleep yet?"

"I still have homework to do, Dad, if you're sleepy, go to bed first."

Maybe it’s because of the injury, Echizen Nanjiro always feels that his body gets tired easily.

He lifted up the soft and warm quilt; he really liked the feel of it.

He wrapped himself tightly, but rubbed it unconsciously.

He said softly, "Good night, Ryoma."

Not long after, he fell into a deep sleep.

Echizen Ryoma looked back at him and saw that he had fallen asleep so quickly. He couldn't help but whisper, "Stupid dad."
