Prince of Tennis: I am actually Echizen Nanjiro

Chapter 54 Natural Enemies

"Mr. Nanjiro, are you okay?" Kikumaru Eiji asked worriedly.

Shiba Saori came over hurriedly: "Mr. Nanjiro, how are you, are you okay now?"

Ryuzaki Sumire's face was serious: "Nanjiro, what's going on?"

Echizen Ryoma couldn't hold back any longer: "Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Faced with the concern of a large group of people, Echizen Nanjiro didn't know how to respond. He buried his head deeply in Tezuka's arms, and his hands habitually clenched Tezuka's white shirt.

Tezuka Kunimitsu asked him, "Mr. Nanjiro, is there something wrong with this plate of sushi rolls?"

Echizen Nanjiro raised his head and nodded. "When I first ate it, it was nothing, just a normal taste, but then I ate something really, really spicy, and then I didn't know anything."

Then he shrank back into Tezuka's arms, as if that was how it was supposed to be.

Tezuka Kunimitsu picked up the remaining half of the sushi roll and after seeing the green paste inside, he basically concluded: "Mr. Nanjiro ate wasabi."

In an instant, everyone turned their eyes to Fuji Shusuke.

Fuji Shusuke tilted his head and asked in confusion: "Is it my fault?"

Who else could it be but you!

"I'm sorry, Mr. Nanjiro, I didn't know you would be the one eating the wasabi sushi. I was thinking..."

Even without him saying it, Nanjiro knew that the plate of sushi was originally placed in front of Tezuka as a prank on him.

It seems that I accidentally saved Tezuka from disaster.

It's a good thing.

The usual smile on Fuji Shusuke's lips disappeared, and there was a hint of guilt in his serious attitude. Echizen Nanjiro's heart melted when he saw this, so how could he blame him?

What's wrong with a little bear being so cute?

Besides, it was just an accident.

Tezuka Kunimitsu also apologized to him: "I am also responsible for this matter. I'm sorry, Mr. Nanjiro."

"It's okay." Echizen Nanjiro, who had fully recovered, smiled nonchalantly, "It's not that serious. I think this experience is quite fun and exciting."

Echizen Ryoma: "Dad!"

Ryuuzaki Sumire: "Nanjiro!"

Shiba Saori: "Mr. Nanjiro!"

Echizen Nanjiro was so scared that he shrank into Tezuka's arms again, as if this was the safest place for him.

Tezuka Kunimitsu was even more serious than usual: "Mr. Nanjiro, please don't joke about your health."

The embrace that had just felt warm and reliable suddenly turned cold. Echizen Nanjiro hurriedly tried to make amends, admitted his mistake in thinking and promised not to make the same mistake again next time.

Inui Sadaharu asked curiously, "Mr. Nanjiro, do you only not eat wasabi or do you also not eat any irritating food?"

Echizen Nanjiro thought for a moment and said, "I usually like spicy food, so it should be only wasabi."

"Did you know before that you couldn't eat mustard?" Inui Sadaharu took out his notebook and recorded the details.

Echizen Nanjiro thought to himself, he is indeed a data maniac, he wants to collect all kinds of information.

“This is my first time eating wasabi.”

He had never come into contact with Japanese food in his previous life. After coming to this world, he ate home-cooked meals made by Renzi every day. He would occasionally make some Chinese dishes on a whim, but he had no chance to come into contact with mustard.

After Inui Sadaharu finished recording, he carefully observed Echizen Nanjiro and said, "Mr. Nanjiro doesn't seem to have any major problems, but his reaction to wasabi is much stronger than that of normal people."

"It turns out that my natural enemy is mustard, hahahaha..."

Echizen Nanjiro laughed out loud, but found that everyone was looking at him in silence and he dared not laugh anymore.

Whispered: "But it's really interesting."

Echizen Ryoma: "Stupid dad!"

Ryuuzaki Sumire: "Be serious, Nanjiro!"

Shiba Saori: "Mr. Nanjiro, this is not a joke!"

Inoue Mamoru: "Take care of yourself."

Tezuka Kunimitsu said in a deep voice: "Don't be careless!"

Echizen Nanjiro had to assure everyone again that he would learn lessons from this experience and take it as a warning.

A not-so-small storm passed without any major incident.

However, when everyone was freed from their nervous and uneasy mood, they all vaguely felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the scene before them, but they could not tell what exactly was wrong.

Just when everyone was puzzled, Echizen Ryoma discovered the key to the problem: "Dad, you are okay now, right?"

Echizen Nanjiro's tone was very cheerful: "It's okay, I don't feel uncomfortable at all, my mouth isn't spicy anymore, and I want to eat lots and lots of sushi!"

Black lines seemed to appear on Echizen Ryoma's head, and those black lines were gradually increasing and deepening: "Then how long are you going to rely on Minister Tezuka!"

Everyone then suddenly realized what was going on.

Echizen Nanjiro was seen leaning leisurely in Tezuka's arms, his hands subconsciously grabbing Tezuka's white shirt. Of course, Tezuka was also holding him, although not as hard as he did in the emergency situation.

The atmosphere between them was so natural, one leaning on each other naturally, and the other being leaned on naturally, that almost no one present could immediately notice that this was obviously a problem.

Echizen Nanjiro was stunned for a moment, then his whole body stiffened and he dared not move.

Thinking back to how he had just rubbed, leaned, lay and hid in Tezuka's arms, the heat that had just subsided due to the mustard suddenly rose up again, and he lowered his head as if trying to cover up his ears and steal the bell.

Tezuka Kunimitsu let him go: "Excuse me, where is the sink?"

The boss pointed in a direction: "It's over there, just go forward and then turn right."

"Thank you."

After Tezuka left, Echizen Nanjiro suddenly fell on the table, like a lifeless plant.

"Mr. Nanjiro, I'm really sorry that bad things happened to you." Fuji Shusuke sat over and apologized to him again.

"It's just a small accident, don't take it seriously."

Fuji Shusuke smiled and said, "It's great that Mr. Nanjiro can forgive me."

Then he took a sip of tea, as if remembering something: "By the way, Mr. Nanjiro, I think it would be better for you to apologize to Tezuka!"

"Oh, okay, I'll tell him when he gets here."

I did cause trouble to Tezuka just now. Fuji was right. I should not only thank Tezuka but also apologize.

If it was someone else beside him instead of Tezuka, they would definitely not know how to treat an uncle who seemed to have suddenly fallen ill.

Tezuka is really reliable. He is an adult already, but he is still so... hard to describe.

Seeing that he seemed to be in a trance, Fuji Shusuke was not angry, but his tone became gentler: "After all, Mr. Nanjiro, you spit directly on Tezuka's hand."

"What!" Echizen Nanjiro stood up in fright.

Echizen Ryoma turned his head and looked at him: "Stupid dad, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Echizen Nanjiro shook his hands in a cover-up at everyone who was looking at him.

He tried to calm down: "You said...that...I...Tezuka...really?"

"Yeah." Fuji Shusuke smiled brightly.

"So, he asked about the sink because..." Echizen Nanjiro was almost frightened.

"That's right, and just now I saw that Tezuka's shirt was wrinkled and wet, it was really horrible. This is all because of Mr. Nanjiro." Fuji Shusuke said with an innocent smile.

"Ah, Tezuka is here. I'll be leaving now, Mr. Nanjiro."

Fuji Shusuke returned to his original seat with a happy expression and continued to eat sushi happily.

Bu Er, how could you do this!

It was indeed a black-bellied bear.

"Tezuka, I..."

After Tezuka Kunimitsu sat down again, Echizen Nanjiro moved a little closer to his seat, thinking in his mind how to best start the conversation.

Seeing him hesitating, Kunimitsu Tezuka couldn't help but frown.

It would be better to say that Kunimitsu Tezuka is now "afraid" of him speaking.

But when he thought about how he could not feel at ease if the person next to him remained quiet all the time.

An example that can serve as proof of this just happened.

Mr. Nanjiro is always like this, doing many disturbing things at will. I just need to remind him a little, but I don't want to see the grievance and anxiety in his eyes.

"Mr. Nanjiro, please say whatever you want to say."

Echizen Nanjiro didn't dare to look Tezuka in the eye now. He secretly glanced at the white shirt on Tezuka. It was exactly as Fuji said, even worse. These were already annoying enough, and he still...

The stimulation of wasabi seemed to still remain, and he felt a little sour and uncomfortable in his heart. He forgot what he was going to say and raised his head and asked, "Tezuka, do you hate me?"

As expected, Kunimitsu Tezuka was overwhelmed by what he said.

Silently, she took the tissue beside her and gently wiped away the tears that were flowing from his eyes without him noticing.

Seeing that Tezuka Kunimitsu didn't say anything and still looked cold, Echizen Nanjiro felt even more guilty and took the initiative to admit his mistake.

"I messed up your shirt, and... and... your hands, and laughed at you for being a 'teacher', and..."

Drag you into things that have nothing to do with you.

Wait, he did so many "bad things" in less than a day?

Should he admire his own extraordinary ability to take action?

Echizen Nanjiro felt very frustrated in front of Tezuka.

Tezuka Kunimitsu had no idea how Mr. Nanjiro could act like a child in front of him, even though he was the elder.

Should I pat his head and tell him “it’s okay” at this time?

Kunimitsu Tezuka really had no way to deal with him.

"Mr. Nanjiro, I don't hate you." Tezuka Kunimitsu said seriously, "So don't bow your head."

"I have always admired your casualness and frankness."

Positive, cheerful, bright, energetic...

He felt that Mr. Nanjiro had a good personality.
