Prince of Tennis: I am actually Echizen Nanjiro

Before leaving, the young lady apologized to Echizen Nanjiro again and again: "Our store manager is not like this normally. He must be sick today and his mind is confused. I hope you don't mind."

"it's okay no problem."

Echizen Nanjiro no longer cared about this matter because of the delicious dessert.

The lively young lady even suggested: "How about I call the store manager out and you slap him a few times to calm down your anger?"

When the other female shop assistants heard this, they not only didn't think there was anything wrong, they even seemed to agree with it. They looked at Echizen Nanjiro with support, as if encouraging him to do so.

"No, no, no." Echizen Nanjiro thought they were so scary.

He smiled and said, "Let's pay the bill."

He came well prepared today, with his wallet full of stuff.

Thanks to Renzi for giving him a lot of pocket money.

Ryoma was also very envious of him for this.

Of course, Lunzi definitely loves me the most.

Ryoma, just be jealous as much as you can, hahaha.

The young lady looked at Tezuka Kunimitsu and said, "This boy has already paid."

"Huh? Tezuka?"

Did Tezuka pay?

Echizen Nanjiro was a little curious at first. Wasn't it agreed that he would treat them? Why did Tezuka pay in the end?

Did I remember it wrong? It should be Tezuka who treats us this time?

Or did Tezuka think that I forgot to bring my wallet so he planned to pay for it for me?

Or was Tezuka mistaken?

All of a sudden, many possibilities popped up in his mind like mushrooms after rain.

When they were out of the store, he walked up to Tezuka and held up his wallet: "Tezuka, I didn't forget to bring my wallet."

He first picked a scenario that he thought was most likely and explained it to Tezuka.

"I know."

Hmm? Did Tezuka think he didn't have enough money in his wallet?

He went on to explain: “There’s a lot of money in there.”

"Ok, I know."

"then you……"

"Mr. Nanjiro."

"Ok?"

"I'll treat you this time."

"But it was agreed that it was my treat."

Besides, Tezuka, your behavior of acting first and asking for permission later is totally unreasonable.

Echizen Nanjiro suddenly became furious, almost as angry as the pufferfish.

Finally I have the chance to show off my "little treasury", but...

It was actually destroyed by Tezuka. Humph, I’m angry.

"Hey, Tezuka is treating us. This is the first time. I'm also benefiting from Mr. Nanjiro's help. It's really nice." Fuji Shusuke said with a smile.

"Eh, first time?"

"Yeah." Fuji Shusuke asked him back, "Do you think Tezuka would take the initiative to invite someone to eat with him at a restaurant outside?"

"This... is unlikely."

"The last time we went to a dessert shop was our first time." Fuji Shusuke said softly.

"what?"

"This is the first time Tezuka and I have eaten out together. I didn't expect Tezuka to actually go to a dessert shop. It seems like Nanjiro-san is a mascot."

"Buji, are you praising me? I always feel like there's something weird."

"I am praising you, no doubt about it."

"Well, since Tezuka won't take the initiative, why don't you take the initiative, Fuji?" Echizen Nanjiro suggested, "As good friends, how can we not have the experience of sharing delicious food together."

He lowered his head and thought for a moment: "But Tezuka may be very busy, but it doesn't matter. Maybe I invite Tezuka ten times and he can only come once. Although I will be disappointed if he doesn't come nine times, I will be very, very happy when he comes. One happiness can completely offset nine times of unhappiness, and there will be a lot more."

A warm, attractive vitality began to emanate from him again.

Fuji Shusuke reached out and ruffled his hair.

"Fuji, what did you do again?" Echizen Nanjiro frowned, "Do you think I'm 'cute' again?"

"Yeah. I find that the more I spend time with Nanjiro-san, the cuter he becomes."

Being sincere and straightforward, he probably doesn't understand how bright and dazzling he is.

How it makes people yearn for it, but at the same time feel ashamed of themselves.

Mr. Nanjiro, you probably don't know yet.

I like Tezuka, but not because my friends like me.

Just like Tezuka likes you.

What about you? How do you feel about Tezuka?

Maybe you yourself don’t even understand your own feelings.

Maybe you have fallen in love with him without knowing it.

However, what is certain at the moment is that Tezuka is indeed in love with you.

I no longer have the opportunity to take the initiative towards him.

"If you don't tease me, I would also think you are cute."

Echizen Nanjiro quickly took a step forward and "escaped" from Fuji's "bear paw".

Fuji Shusuke sighed inwardly: It's really impossible to hate him at all.

"Tezuka, Mr. Nanjiro, I'm leaving first." Fuji Shusuke said goodbye to them with a smile.

"Eh? Okay, be careful on the road."

It's so sudden. Besides, compared to me, Tezuka and Fuji should be more convenient, right?

Maybe Fuji has something else going on.

Was it an illusion? He felt that when Fuji smiled just now, he was not happy.

Does Bu Er have any troubles?

Echizen Nanjiro thought about asking Tezuka, but he quickly rejected the idea.

Firstly, it's not nice to pry into other people's private affairs, and secondly, uh, I'm worried that Tezuka will misunderstand.

Misunderstanding that he likes Fuji.

Last time he was just angry and didn't explain clearly to Tezuka, but Tezuka probably doesn't care about it now.

Who knows what Tezuka was thinking at the time, asking himself such a strange question.

Even if I look at Bu Er's photos, can't I just appreciate them?

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

Or is he still like a creepy old man, making Tezuka doubt his own character?

Probably not. If Tezuka hated me, he wouldn't be so nice to me.

Hmm? Something flashed before my eyes.

Echizen Nanjiro looked around in confusion.

"What's wrong, Mr. Nanjiro?"

"Nothing, maybe I saw it wrong. Let's go, Tezuka."

As the two figures walked further and further away, the people behind the wall dared to poke their heads out.

Taocheng Wu: "They are going back."

Oishi Shuichiro: “Probably.”

Kikumaru Eiji exclaimed, "We really came to this 'Good night' again! It turns out it's not a joke."

Inui Sadaharu kept taking notes: "The possibility that Tezuka's new hobby is desserts..."

Echizen Ryoma could no longer bear it: "Why are all the seniors here?"

Taocheng Wu smiled and hooked his shoulder: "Senior Qian called me to come."

Others also said that it was Inui Sadaharu who contacted them and said there was something interesting going on.

"Isn't this interesting? But I didn't expect you to be here, Echizen." The lenses of Inui Sadaharu's glasses suddenly reflected a light.

Echizen Ryoma turned his head coldly. He didn't want to say that he followed him here to check on his stupid father because he was worried about him.

"But they are all preparing to go home, and Fuji has left too. Probably nothing interesting will happen next." Kikumaru Eiji said regretfully.

The corners of Inui Sadaharu's lips curled up into an ambiguous smile: "That's not necessarily true."

"Tezuka, thank you for treating me to dessert today. But next time, next time, you must let me treat you. You are not allowed to snatch it from me again."

"it is good."

Hearing that Tezuka agreed to him, Echizen Nanjiro smiled with satisfaction.

"I come every time." Tezuka Kunimitsu suddenly said.

"what?"

They both stopped at the same time.

"Your invitation." Tezuka Kunimitsu looked at him intently, "I will come every time."

The situation you mentioned will never happen even once.

Nine times out of ten you will be unhappy, even if you think it's okay.

If I knew that he was feeling lost and sad at some point in time, I would not be able to stay out of it no matter what.

It’s not so much that I can’t refuse his request, but rather that I hope to be needed by him.

Now Echizen Nanjiro understood what he meant. He moved his lips a few times, wanting to say something but nothing came out.

He felt like he had turned into a cloud, so light that it was about to float up in the wind.

Don't always say things that make me want to get closer to you and hug you, Tezuka.

My face is so hot. Maybe I ate too much candy.

"Thank you, Tezuka."

For some reason, he didn't dare look at Tezuka's face.

"I, I was just talking casually, don't take it seriously, Tezuka."

"Even if I want to invite you, I must first ask if you are free."

"Tezuka, don't be too accommodating to me..."

"By the way, Tezuka, do you know where I can find some? Ah, I don't want to eat it now, but later..."

He didn't want Tezuka to think that he was a glutton who could never get full no matter how much he ate.

During the conversation with Tezuka, he gradually became lively again.

Facing Tezuka, he seemed to have endless things to say.

Often, before the previous smile disappears, a happier smile follows, and the whole person is filled with cheerfulness.

"Tezuka, do you think I'm too noisy?" Echizen Nanjiro asked with a little concern.

"will not."

"Really?"

"Yeah." Tezuka Kunimitsu hoped that he could always be as happy as he is now.

The parting intersection soon arrived.

Echizen Nanjiro thought he was walking very slowly, but the road was too short.

I want to stay with Tezuka for a while longer.

But he had already taken up an entire afternoon of Tezuka's time, so it would be too much to ask for more.

Echizen Nanjiro believes that although he can be willful at times, he is basically a sensible and good child.

I was reluctant to part with Tezuka, but then I thought about it and realized that I would be able to see Tezuka again when I went to watch the game in a few days, so I wasn't so unhappy.

"Then, Tezuka, I'll just leave." In fact, he really didn't want to leave.

The blush on his cheeks had not yet faded away when Tezuka Kunimitsu reached out his hand towards him, but paused before touching his cheek and instead lifted the hair by his ear.

"My hair is messed up."

In fact, even without Tezuka telling him, Echizen Nanjiro knew that Tezuka was reaching out to help him tidy up his hair. He was used to it.

"Let me take you home." Tezuka Kunimitsu suddenly remembered his characteristic of "causing trouble".

Echizen Nanjiro was depressed: "Tezuka, how worried are you about me?"

Although he didn't want to be separated from Tezuka, he was very happy that Tezuka was willing to send him back.

But, he also didn't want Tezuka to see him as a fool who couldn't even go back to his own home.

He felt sad again: "Tezuka, do you think I, I..."

Very useless...
