[Yuri on Ice] Everything from the sea

The air is filled with the pleasant smell of green grass that can only be found in early summer, but it is quickly overwhelmed by the salty sea breeze.A rosy morning glow appeared at the intersection of the sky and the sea, and the foamy waves slowly supported a distant tugboat, its mast lights flickering in the early morning mist.

"Ah, it will rain tonight. Yuuri, are you cold?" Victor set up an awning to look at the morning glow in the distance, and asked the people sitting beside him.Yuuri, in a black sweatshirt, hugs his poodle, also staring off into the distance, brooding.The wind blew his black bangs and hit his smooth forehead.

"—Victor, I don't have a fever." Yuuri muttered and sat a little further away from the big hand that was stroking his forehead, and the poodle called Xiao Wei ran away from his arms with a soft bark.

"Yuuri is catching a cold. Why do you come to the beach so early in the morning to blow the cold wind? How about practicing swords at Minako's gym." Victor pulled Yuuri's sleeve and forced one of his hands into the cuff of his hoodie pocket. "So you still care about Yukio Tokugawa who is coming tomorrow?"

"Colds don't kill people." Yuuri hesitated without struggling. "Of course I care. After all, I haven't received such a formal challenge for a long time."

Ever since Katsuki Yuuri won the championship of the youth kendo competition held by Osaka and Kyushu a few years ago, many people have seriously challenged him with the so-called challenge. Even Kenjiro Minami, who is a few years younger than him, has challenged him seriously. After him, there are many other kendo enthusiasts from other places. He doesn’t know if these people are still living in the Kamakura period. He has accepted it several times out of politeness. It's just a friendly discussion of the hot-blooded plot.But this man's letter made him very unhappy.The arrogant person who claimed to be the grandson of many generations of Tokugawa Ieyasu actually made a bet that "If you lose, Mr. Katsuki, please resign as the young master of the Katsuki family and bow to the ancient Tokugawa family from now on"— —Is this person Oda Nobunaga upper body?What "minor position"?Still "bow your head and profess your minister"?Should he be glad that he didn't lose seppuku?

It's like a joke.However, in this small town, there have been rumors that Katsuki Yuuri, the son of the Katsuki family, has no opponent in Kyushu for several years. The pillar of the Shengsheng family.Unknowingly, there is indeed a kind of "prestige" in this family. In the eyes of the Japanese, whose family prestige is above all else, even if it is a joke, the Katsuki family has no reason not to accept it.

"You shouldn't worry." Victor pointed to his head, "I told you everything is here with me."

"I know." Yuuri waved his hand, stopping the imminent chatter.He changed the subject. "Victor, don't you have any plans for the future? You are 24 years old this year, you have been following my affairs, and you have never considered your future?"

Victor frowned.They have already talked about this topic.Many times.He'd like to consider an alternative answer he's never brought up before, but he'll repeat hesitantly, "You know I've thought about it. Going to medical school or something—"

"Then why didn't you go to school? When you were 18, you obviously got admitted to the Bruts, and you didn't-" "I told you, Yuuri." Victor interrupted him irritably, his young friend Why don't you consider that he is driving people away by bringing up this topic?Drive him, drive him away without hesitation.

"You know, the situation was unstable at the time. Maybe the university was in ruins when I went? Or a medical center or something?"

Even Yuuri doesn't know when Victor became interested in medicine, he obviously has so many advantages, even though he falsely reported his age at the age of 16, boarded that sea ship and drifted to this town, he had never been in contact with Japanese medicine Kendo, he still quickly surpassed Katsuki Yuuri, who has picked up a bamboo sword since he was 5 years old, and his ability to accept new knowledge and skills amazed everyone. After learning tea ceremony and ikebana, he became outstanding in everything. Then he began to collect medical handwriting from all the hospitals in the town, and went to work in the hospital. He was so frequent that the husbands of those hospital nurses mentioned him and said, "that Frivolous Russian", and then he sneaked on a cargo ship without telling Yuuri and went to far away Tokyo, and then he took the exam with all the junior high school students in Japan, and voluntarily wrote the one in his hometown Moscow. university—and he got in.If it weren't for the Katsuki family's influence on Changgujin, Victor.Far beyond Yuuri's popularity, he's become a legend.

But not long after, the Tsar fell, and the Soviet Red Army poured into that country like a rush of bright red blood, but the situation was once very chaotic.Victor, who got the news, hesitated even more.He seemed to have found a goal and kept going forward, and he would not think about anything else until he reached it, but when he reached his goal for a reason, he found that the important reason became a hindrance to him.

"You find out later that it didn't turn out to be anything." Yuuri also gets a little irritable, they rarely really fight, but Victor's future is one of the reasons that does start.As Victor grew older, he became more and more anxious, "Listen, although I have persuaded you many times, I am glad that you are always with me, but I can't leave because of my family, and you are free, You deserve better and wider—" "Shut up, Yuuri."

Viktor stood up, and he took a few steps toward the sand, his back to Yuuri.

Katsuki Yuuri got stuck.Years of dating made him understand that even though Victor's voice hasn't changed much, the aura on his body and the expression he doesn't want to show to Yuuri shows that he is really angry.Angry Viktor always scares him - so he shuts up obediently again.

They were silent for several minutes. "So what about you, Yuuri." Victor turned around, with a wry smile on his face that Yuuri had never seen before, "What about you, your ideal in life is to stay here and protect your family, For the nice, shiny family crest until it's engraved on your spa hotel sign?"

"What if I say I am?" The flames that Yuuri could barely hold back began to rise again, "I've grown up—how ​​long will you be my so-called retainer? I like a peaceful life, and— I like to compete with Minako-sensei's fan in kendo, I like to sit on the beach with myself and watch the sunrise and sunset!"

A peaceful life, and the way of the sword.Victor lowered his head.For a moment, he looked at the surface of the sea, and made up his mind to throw out the reason that he never wanted to say that was not a reason: "You know, Yuuri. This is where I was fished up by your family, brought to you, and finally Saved by you. You are my savior. What do you Japanese say? 'Life is above grace and loyalty'?"

"So," Yuuri swallowed, as if someone else had been reminding him that the reason he was unwilling to accept from the bottom of his heart was as hard to digest as a starfish, "you've always been repaying favors? Everything, everything? "

The person on the opposite side had his hands in his trouser pockets, looking up at the increasingly bright and cold sky. "Isn't this the creed you Japanese uphold?"
