Prince of Tennis: I am a manager at Hyotei

Bu Er walked over with a smile, as if he already knew who came up with this result.

"Could this be caused by Dashi?"

Dashi lowered his head silently, as low as a quail.

Ignoring the junior high school students' self-entertainment, Byodoin passed by them to look for a few other high school students.

"But there's something more important I want to tell you all. Can you tell me?"

Dashi looked at Long Ge, then at everyone else, and found that Long Ge's expression didn't change at all, so he couldn't help but ask.

The latter shrugged.

Everyone looked at Dashi's serious face and became serious at the same time.

Atobe put his hand on Longge's shoulder.

"What happened?"

Long Ge found a comfortable place to sit down and signaled Dashi that he could start speaking.

Oishi told everything that happened in the lottery hall.

Even though they were mentally prepared, they did not expect Echizen to join the American representatives.

For a moment, I felt mixed emotions and different thoughts.

There was silence for a few seconds.

The first person who was unhappy after hearing this was Xiao Jin.

He was looking forward to meeting Chaoqian and winning the world championship together, but why did things turn out like this?

He squatted beside Long Ge's chair with a bitter face and complained.

"Why? Didn't Chaoqian-nee say Chaoqian would come? Why has she become my rival now?"

He picked up the orange soda that Tezuka had prepared for him, held the soda in one hand, hooked the pull ring with one finger, and applied light force. "Puff!" The soda was opened by Long Ge with one hand.

I drank it with satisfaction, it was really delicious~

Meeting Xiao Jin's resentful eyes, he felt somewhat confused.

"When did I say that?"

Atobe on the opposite side supported his head and reminded.

"You said it yourself in the car."

what?

And this thing?

I searched for this memory in my mind and after thinking about it, I seemed to have some impression of it.

"But I only said he would come to Australia, I didn't say he was coming to join the Japanese team."

Let's recall this.

Well...it seems...

"So Long Ge knew about Echizen joining the US delegation the entire time, and he actually kept it a secret from us."

Fuji spoke in his usual gentle voice.

He asked back, shaking the soda in his hand.

"I can't say I kept it a secret from you. Long Ma left with Long Ya and went to the United States. Don't you know? I thought you all knew."

Thinking about the little thing's personality, he is indeed not the type of person who would take the initiative to talk to others.

The little guy is really good at hiding it. Even the seniors and classmates didn’t tell him.

Xiao Jin doesn't care, he just wants to participate in the World Championship with Chaoqian!

Keep pestering Long Ge.

No matter how Bai Shi tried to persuade him, it was useless.

Hope is shattered and no amount of persuasion will help.

Long Ge took another sip of soda and thought of an idea to calm Xiao Jin down.

He persuaded Xiao Jin with a smile.

"Instead of competing with Ryoma to win the World Championship, why not defeat him together? That seems more challenging~"

The expressions of the others varied. Some people had thought of this idea, but after seeing how much Long Ge was obsessed with his brother, they never dared to say it out loud.

Now that they have Long Ge, they will definitely not show mercy.

After listening to Long Ge's words, the simple Xiao Jin sat on the ground with his legs crossed and his arms around his chest, thinking about something.

Suddenly I realized that it seemed to make some sense.

Xiao Jin, who had figured it out, stared at Long Ge blankly. Even though Xiao Jin was so carefree, he could tell that Long Ge cared about Chao Qian.

"Does that mean I can go all out against Chaoqian in the match?"

Long Ge smiled and nodded.

"Well, of course. This is a competition. You can't let it go just because you know each other."

Xiao Jin became lively again and got up from the ground.

"Yeah! That's great! We can compete against Chaoqian again, and in the World Championship. Hurry up, hurry up, I really want to compete against Chaoqian!"

Akutsu clenched his hand into a fist and said, "Finally, I can teach that arrogant brat a lesson."

When Xiao Jin heard that someone was trying to snatch the opportunity to overtake him in the game, he spoke up immediately without caring who the other person was.

"I'm the one who's ahead! No one else can compete with me!"

Yukimura folded his arms and smiled in response, "Of course, matters like this depend on ability, little brother. We'll just have to wait and see who will be a match for you, little one."

Faced with Echizen, who was supposed to be their teammate, suddenly becoming their enemy, they accepted it with pleasure and showed no resentment.

Wow, I didn’t realize that little dragon horse is still such a hot commodity.

While drinking his drink, Long Ge happily watched Xiao Jin and others fight for the "ownership" of Long Ma.

Dashi, the only one still standing, interrupted a little embarrassedly, wanting to discuss tomorrow's game with everyone.

"Well, our opponent tomorrow is Germany, and Tezuka has already joined the German team. At least we should solve the dilemma in front of us first."

When it comes to Tezuka joining the German representative, some are surprised while others expect it.

Even Niou started to complain about Oishi's luck in the lottery.

"It turns out to be the German team with Tezuka on it. What a terrible luck in the draw, Eggman."

Dashi lowered his head again and apologized tearfully.

"Sorry..."

"Don't be too nervous, it's just an exhibition match, and Tezuka isn't an invincible opponent. By the way, where's my luggage? You guys continue your discussion, I'll be over first."

Shaking the empty can of soda in his hand, he asked Atobe who was standing opposite him.

"I've already asked the staff to deliver the stuff, and you're leaving now? You're the first one on the field tomorrow, shouldn't you discuss the battle strategy?"

The mixed doubles in the exhibition match is a special program and the results are not counted. If Long Ge wants to hide his strength, it is also a combat strategy.

He casually threw the can in his hand into the trash can, waved to a group of people, and prepared to leave the rest area.

"There's no such thing as a battle strategy. I'll just counter each move. If I lose, I can only say I'm inferior. I have a date, so I'll be leaving now. Good night, everyone."

Atobe: That makes sense. Let’s go on a date. No wonder you’re in such a hurry.

...

Dating? !

Who is she going on a date with?

Why didn’t he receive the appointment notification?

Before Tezuka could ask, Long Ge had already run out jumping and skipping.

Date~

Hmm? Date?

When others heard Long Ge say he was going on a date, they all smiled and nodded.

But when he looked again, he saw Atobe sitting there motionless.

Something is wrong, Atobe didn't go.

Who is she going to date?

Long Ge ran to the American team's territory alone, but before he even entered the American team's territory, he found the target he was looking for.

"Ah! I found you two. What were you hiding here for?"

The two brothers turned around and looked at Long Ge's exclamation.

Longma's expression changed first.

Old...sister?

"Another disobedient one, coming to someone else's territory, what do you want to do?"

Long Ya put her arm around her sister's shoulder, predicted her movements, and stopped her from taking the next step.

Long Ge snorted.

"Tsk, and you still say I'm disobedient? We're all the same, so don't blame anyone else. Of course I came here to see if you guys are causing any trouble."

Long Ge's sharp eyes seemed to see through Long Ya in front of him.

Long Ya surrendered, "I didn't do anything, please don't accuse me. If you want to ask, ask your precious brother if he did anything."

His eyes swept over Long Ma, who silently lowered his hat so that Long Ge could not see the expression on his face.

I was just provoking Long Ya, but now I see that my elder sister has finally learned her lesson.
