Prince of Tennis: I am a manager at Hyotei

The excitement of the past few days of revelry could not be dampened.

But time flies, and it's time to say goodbye.

Everything returned to calm, and everyone went their separate ways.

I look forward to our next reunion, when the scenery will be different again.

Team USA bids farewell to Ronma, with Reinhardt leading the team back to the United States.

This silver medal is both an honor and a motivation. Reinhardt is looking forward to the next U17 season, even if he will no longer be in that position.

"Well then, Ryoma, we'll head back to the US first. You stay here and take good care of your father while he receives treatment. Feel free to call me if anything comes up; I'll be waiting for you anytime."

As for your two unreliable older brothers and sisters, don't worry too much about them.

Reinhardt always acted like a patriarch, showing concern for Ryoma.

The companions all said goodbye, looking reluctant to part.

Longma simply lowered the brim of his hat silently, concealing his reluctance, saying one thing but meaning another.

"I know, and besides, who would worry about the two of them?"

Dudu covered her face and wept: "Waaah, I can't believe we'll have to part ways so soon. Ryoma, please come with us too!"

No way! Ryoma, you should come back to America to study. That way we can see each other more often!

Chiko showed a hint of disdain.

"Hey, Ryoma has serious business to attend to, but I think going back to school in America is a good idea!"

Ryoma watched his friends playing around and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

“I already have places I want to go to.”

Once Ryoma makes a decision, he won't easily change it.

Seeing this, his companions just laughed and joked, lamenting how fast time had passed.

Only after the American team's flight took off and Ryoma watched his teammates leave did he leisurely prepare to go back.

"Hey kid, are you secretly feeling down?"

Atobe and Tezuka also bid farewell to several friends they had met during the competition.

I saw a little kid's lonely figure.

Ryoma initially scoffed, "What? So it's the Monkey King, and... Captain Tezuka."

Tezuka nodded in response.

Even with a prominent forehead, one should still suppress their temper.

"If you weren't Xiao Ge's younger brother, it would be impossible to like you."

What's wrong? Are you feeling lonely without your older siblings around?

"Not at all."

Longma denied speaking.

Ryoma was preparing to leave.

Atobe mimicked Ryoma's movements and ruffled Ryoma's hair.

I almost gave the kitten a stress reaction.

Longma grumbled as he adjusted his hat.

"Seriously, why do you have to imitate your older sister? She's such an annoying person."

Despite their words of complaint, their relationship subtly revealed a change within them.

They made a ruckus all the way back to Longma.

On the occasion of parting.

"We should be going back to China soon."

Echizen, you're not the only one waiting. Focus on your primary task at hand.

See you in Japan.

As Atobe turned around, he vaguely heard something, but it was too faint for him to hear clearly.

Longma straightened his hat, turned around, and went back to the hospital.

Medanore had been waiting for a long time in the corridor outside Nanjiro's ward.

Although they missed out on the championship this time, what Nanjiro taught them will benefit them for life.

Even though they were concerned about Nanjiro's health, it was time for them to return home.

However, Medanore had already made all the arrangements beforehand, and even if Medanore hadn't taken action, someone else would have made the arrangements.

Medano and Ryoma were only nodding acquaintances, but when he left, he still kept reminding Ryoma of necessary matters.

They only left with peace of mind after receiving a satisfactory answer.

After the competition ended, Rinko's mother, who was far away in Japan, called to congratulate and comfort her.

Knowing he couldn't hide it, Ryoma also revealed Nanjiro's illness and the whereabouts of his older brother and sister.

Rinko's mother was angry at first, which shows how well Nanjiro was being taken care of.

Most of the comments praised his son and expressed understanding for Long Ge and Long Ya's whereabouts.

The men in their family are obsessed with tennis to an extreme.

It must be something extremely important that's getting on their nerves.

Besides, they've always been sensible kids who take care of everything before leaving.

"Thank you for taking such good care of Dad, Ryoma."

My older siblings, too, must have more important things to do.

All the words I could say couldn't compare to a single sentence from my mother.

It instantly touched Ryoma's heart; he was just a twelve-year-old child.

"Mom and my sister are waiting at home for you and your older brother and sister to come back."

"Um…"
