The Prince of Tennis - I'm Echizen Ryoma

Chapter 355 Brothers reunite after 8 years

The author has something to say:

The narrators of this chapter are Atobe, the protagonist, and Long Ya, the protagonist.Points of view conversion are marked with *.

"Huh? Qingxue is racing on a luxury passenger ship?" After answering the phone, I gently turned the pointer of the old-fashioned record player on the brass horn to one side, and the magnificent symphony in the study stopped immediately.

"It seems to be an exhibition game where a rich man named Yuki Hikomaro Sakurabuki held a party on the boat." An indignant voice came from the retro microphone. None invited. What's going on here?"

"Can you sit idly by as the head of the Hyotei Tennis Club, Atobe?" This sentence is very provocative.However, are you angry that Ice Emperor was not invited, or that you were not able to join Qingxue, Yushi?

"Hmph~ I'm tired of taking luxury passenger ships." I closed my eyes and leaned my head back on the chair, "However, I've never heard of a rich man named Yukihiko Maro Sakurabuki."

As the future ruler of the Atobe Zaibatsu, there will be a Japanese rich man whose name I have never heard of?

Putting down the phone, I pointed my fingers between my eyebrows and pondered for a while, then I decisively picked up the bell beside the chair and shook it twice.

＊"I always feel that the food is not very delicious." After the banquet, on the way to the cabin, Kikumaru muttered, "Although it looks so high-end and delicious at first glance."

"Maybe it's because you spent too much time chatting?" Taocheng interjected, "That's why the rare meals went cold, didn't they?"

"No, not only that." Kawamura put forward his opinion seriously, "Those are the smell of canned food."

"Hey, really?" Haitang couldn't believe it.

"Well, because he is the second-generation descendant of Tianxia Kawamura Sushi, what Aaron said can't be wrong." Bu Er, who was walking beside me, had a rare serious face.

"Sorry, you take a step first." Gan stopped, "I'm going to the toilet."

"Ah, I'll go too." I followed suit.

"Don't get lost, Echizen~" Taocheng said in a strange voice.

"Who will get lost!" I was angry.Treat me like a child, this guy Taocheng hasn't smoked lately, right?

"The toilet is also very luxurious." Walking into the bathroom, I looked around.

"It turned out to be marble." Qian looked at the resplendent wall illuminated by the wall lamp, and suddenly said shortly, "En?"

"What's the matter, senior?"

"It's not real marble." Fumbling with dry hands on the wall, he actually tore off a piece of marble-patterned paper, revealing an ugly background under the paper, "It's just an ordinary wall!"

We looked at each other, and we both had a bad feeling at the same time.

* "So, about tomorrow's exhibition match, is this okay, Vice Minister Oishi?" Sinking into the large sofa in the richly decorated cabin, Sakurabuki Yukihiko Maro suggested kindly.

"Huh? Yes! I don't mind at all." This egg head is really easy to pinch.

"Is the captain duel at the end?" Squatting on the armrest of the sofa, I glanced at the end of the match list in my hand: Tezuka Kunimitsu vs. Echizen Ryuya.It's a pity that the little one is ranked second to last.

never mind.Raising my head, I aimed at the four-eyed ice cube on the opposite side, and the corner of my mouth twitched, "Hey, don't be merciful~"

"Both each other," the guy said solemnly, "Let's have a good game."

"Hmph, was it a wonderful game~" I raised my eyebrows and closed my eyes, drawling my tone, and I showed a weird smile.After all, it’s a short companion, so innocent and cute~

"Speaking of which," Sakurabuki Yukihikomaro showed the same strange smile while biting his cigar, "Do you think that playing an ordinary game is enough to receive free reception on such a luxurious passenger ship?"

"Huh?" Egghead opened his eyes wide in confusion.

"There is nothing so cheap in the world~" Yukihiko Maro Sakurabuki brushed off the ashes of the cigar lightly.

"I don't quite understand what you mean." The four-eyed ice cube said calmly.Is this guy really ignorant or just pretending?

"To put it bluntly, I want you to deliberately lose to us in tomorrow's game." Sakurabuki Yukihiko Maro simply opened the skylight to speak bluntly.

"What?!" Egghead suddenly became excited, and was about to say something, but was stopped by the four-eyed ice cube raising his arm.

On the other side, I snorted and woke up this clueless guy, "In other words, this is a betting game."

"The practice match during the day is the time for the guests to investigate the strength of the players." Sakurabuki Yukihiko Maro took over the conversation, "After that, place bets on the players you like."

"This is the betting table for this match." He raised a piece of paper in his hand, "As expected of the famous Qing Xue Tennis Club, every player's odds are very low."

Looking carefully at the odds table in my hand, I pursed my lips and whistled, "Your popularity is really high, you actually stole my limelight, I'm not reconciled~"

"Yes, the low odds mean that many people have bet big on you Qingxue." Sakurabuki Yukihiko Maro continued to explain.

"That is to say, if we lose in the competition, you, as the host, can make a lot of money." The four-eyed ice cube was calm.

"As expected of the head of Seigaku, he understands the truth." Sakurabuki Yuki Hikomaro narrowed his eyes with a smile.But soon that smile was shamelessly frozen by the four-eyed ice cubes.

"I refuse." Standing up, the guy's voice was as clear and cold as ice, "Let's go, Dashi."

"En!" Egghead followed suit.

"Hey, where are you going~" I persuaded with good intentions, "This is the sea, there is nowhere to escape~" These kids are really ignorant~

The two of them walked a few steps away when they were blocked by a chef holding a knife in one hand and the neck of a roast chicken in the other, "President, we've got good food!"

With a swing of the knife, he chopped off the chicken in two, and the blade flashed a frightening cold light.

"Don't say anything ugly," I put on a coaxing tone, "Do as we say~ If you want to return to land safely." At least be smart now~

＊"So that's what happened." "I think it's a bit weird." "Echizen Ryuya is also an accomplice?" "I'm afraid the other team members are too." "No, even the chef and everyone on this ship are Sakura Fubuki Hikomaro's partner."

On the deck, everyone surrounded the Minister and Dashi who brought back the unknown information, talking a lot.

Leaning on the side of the boat alone, although I lowered the brim of my hat, I always felt that the eyes of the seniors were sneaking at me intentionally or unintentionally.

"If you want to get back to land safely, you have to fight match-fixing. Regarding this threat, I want to hear everyone's opinions." The minister glanced at everyone.

"Our opinion?" Gan asked in bewilderment.

Bu Er squinted his eyes and took a sip of the juice.

Haitang's snake eyes stared bluntly, "That's needless to say."

Taocheng shouted energetically, "That's right."

"It's about cracking down on counterfeit matches..." Kawamura smiled plainly.

Winking, Kikumaru joked, "Who will do it?"

After a while of silence, I turned around, raised my eyes, and met the gaze of the superior minister.In fact, you have already decided what to do.As for my thoughts, it goes without saying that you already know it, don't you?

"It's decided, right?" Dashi whispered, looking at the Minister.Subtly, the minister closed his eyes slightly.

"But in that group's boat, that is, in the enemy's lair, we have nowhere to escape." Gan continued to make an analysis, "Although it was not the intention, this game is still better."

"Well," the minister's eyes sharpened instantly, "but we will never play match-fixing. Do you understand?"

"Yes!" Everyone responded neatly.

Putting my hands in my trouser pockets, I walked away.

"Echizen, where are you going?" The voice was always majestic and concise.

I kept my feet on the ground, closed my eyes, and said two words lazily, "Practice."
