Prince of Tennis: I am a manager at Hyotei

As promised, Ryuka Atobe arrived at the location sent by Oshitari.

This was the hotel where Atobe arranged accommodation for them.

At the door, I saw Akutsu arriving as promised.

Akutsu coughed twice, deliberately attracting the attention of the two.

"Ahem, I didn't come here voluntarily. I only came because Taiyi insisted on asking me to come. I didn't come here for the chestnut cake."

It would be better if Akutsu didn't say anything.

Opening his mouth instead aroused Long Ge's evil interest.

Such deliberate explanations only arouse suspicion.

"Okay, okay, I know you came here for the chestnut cake, but you can't eat too much tonight. And the same goes for you, Keigo."

Long Ge deliberately followed Akutsu's words.

Akutsu's personality made him retort awkwardly in an instant.

"They all said no! ...For the chestnut cake... I don't really want to eat chestnut cake or anything like that..."

Atobe even looked at Akutsu with a strange look.

You wouldn't have guessed that someone like Akutsu would have such a special liking for chestnut cake.

In the end, Akutsu knew that if he continued talking, he would definitely not get any benefit from Long Ge, so he shut up in disappointment.

Follow the instructions they sent on the phone and go to the top floor.

Long Ge's hand, which was about to push the door, stopped and turned to look at the two people behind him.

Giving a malicious smile.

“What…what?”

Seeing Long Ge smile like that, Jibe had a bad feeling.

Long Ge took a step back and made an invitation.

"You two come here."

It's just a door, is it necessary to do this?

Atobe and Akutsu pushed forward from the left and right without any warning.

"Oh!"

"Congratulations to Atobe, Akutsu, and Ryuka for successfully attending the finals!"

There were the sounds of several salutes exploding, and the congratulations of the Hyotei members.

Atobe and Akutsu finally understood why Long Ge was hiding behind the scenes.

He looked unhappy but couldn't lose his temper.

"Congratulations to Akutsu-senpai for securing a spot in the competition! I knew Akutsu-senpai could do it!"

Seeing the starry eyes from Taichi's little fan, Akutsu had to hold back the urge to get angry.

Resignedly, he ripped off the ribbons and various sequins hanging from the clothes above his head.

The players' faces were all filled with excitement.

After the surprise segment was over, Long Ge moved in from the door.

It was just as she expected.

She is so smart!

"Huh? Why don't I see Long Ge? I was planning to give her a surprise during this part."

Yue Ren was jumping up and down looking for someone.

Behind the two of them, Long Ge was applauding his own wit.

"Oh!"

A huge salute sounded from behind Long Ge.

Then I heard Suzuki's voice full of surprise.

"Congratulations to Senior Long Ge for making it to the finals! Ding ding ding! Isn't it a surprise!"

Long Ge calmly picked it apart from a pile of ribbons.

A small face showing forbearance and restraint.

They mean well, they're celebrating, they just have good intentions.

Long Ge kept telling himself.

Hearing Suzuki's question.

How is it not a surprise?

She was hiding behind Atobe and Akutsu, so how could she have expected that there was Suzuki behind them.

Long Ge took a deep breath and tried to force out a fairly bright smile.

"What a surprise, thank you Suzuki."

Atobe has been rescued from the pile of ribbons.

Come over here.

"Go get your senior Long Ge a glass of juice."

Suzuki nodded hurriedly and was about to say something, but at Atobe's signal, he ran to get the juice.

Long Ge looked at Suzuki's back, helplessly held his forehead, and the ribbons on his body fell off with his movement.
