Chapter 52
In front of Echizen's house.
A Toyota car stopped.
Two people got out of it, it was Inoue Mamoru and Shiba Saori.
"Senior Inoue is really busy."
"First he went all over Tokyo to look for Kitagawa, then to Kanagawa, and now he is here with Echizen Nanjiro."
"I hope this former samurai can be as pleasing to the eye as Kitagawa."
Shiba Saori said this while wearing high heels, but her eyes were full of expectation.
"Samurai Nanjiro is my idol!"
"If it weren't for Kitagawa's appearance, I would definitely go to interview Nanjiro in person the moment I knew he was back in Japan."
"Of course."
"I came here at this time because I want to give this newspaper to him personally."
As Inoue Mamoru said this, he took out the special edition of Tennis Monthly from his backpack.
His eyes were filled with a different look.
"Really."
"Senior Inoue is really a man who enjoys watching the fun."
"The son of the samurai was defeated, and now he delivers this thing to me."
"I really doubt whether Echizen Nanjiro is Senior Inoue's idol."
Shiba Saori curled her lips helplessly.
Even if she was slow to react, she could tell what Mamoru Inoue was thinking when he came here at this time.
"Nei's youth tennis world is gradually moving towards silence."
"At present, whether it is Tezuka Kunimitsu and Fuji Shusuke of Seigaku, Atobe Keigo of Hyotei Academy, or Yukimura Seiichi and Sanada Genichirō of Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School, they are all third-year junior high school students."
"However, there are fewer and fewer people like these people among the younger generation."
"Even if it seems that various tennis competitions are held one after another, this sign is getting worse and worse."
"So, Nei's junior high school tennis world, and even youth tennis world, need to be injected with an exciting wave at this time!"
Inoue Mamoru said with a serious and serious expression, while ringing the doorbell.
Ding Dong~
After the sound fell.
Echizen Nanako, wearing beautiful casual clothes, came out of the house.
After a brief introduction, she took Inoue Mamoru and Shiba Saori in.
Not long after.
Ding~~~
A melodious bell sounded from behind the house.
Inoue Mamoru and Shiba Saori also walked in.
As soon as they saw it.
Echizen Nanjiro was sitting next to the Buddhist bell, with his back to the crowd.
From time to time, the sound of flipping books could be heard.
"Uncle."
"These two are here to interview you."
After Echizen Nanako gave a brief introduction, she turned around to prepare hot tea.
"Ah?"
Echizen Nanjiro turned around and saw that he was still chewing dried squid in his mouth, and replied with a look of surprise.
Then he quickly put the magazine in his arms and prepared to run away with the dried squid.
"Mr. Echizen Nanjiro, I'm sorry to visit you at this time."
"I'm sorry for disturbing you."
"This time, the main purpose of our trip is to present a special issue of our "Tennis Monthly."
Although Inoue Mamoru looked at the untidy monk in front of him, he was also full of doubts.
But since Echizen Nanako said it just now.
So now he still gritted his teeth and told his purpose.
At the same time.
He also quickly opened his backpack and took out the newspaper.
"Really not interviewing?"
After swallowing the dried squid in his mouth, Echizen Nanjiro, with a suspicious look on his face, raised his eyebrows and asked back.
"Yes."
Although Inoue Mamoru wanted to play a game of tennis with his idol now.
But he still held back.
"I'll take that thing."
"You can leave."
After a slight sigh of relief, Echizen Nanjiro wiped his hands on his clothes and took the newspaper.
Then he ordered him to leave.
"Uncle!"
At this time.
Echizen Nanako came over with hot tea.
And behind her was Echizen Ryoma who had just returned home.
"Oh!"
"Nanako, you know that I hate reporters the most."
Echizen Nanjiro, who was instantly discouraged, complained.
At the same time, he threw the newspaper he had just received to Echizen Ryoma.
Then he sat on the steps with a heroic look.
Only part of the magazine in his arms was exposed.
"Interview."
"A little slower, I'm going to sleep."
The next moment.
"This is..."
Shiba Saori looked at the incomplete magazine cover and instantly showed a look of disgust.
As for Inoue Mori, he was ready to move.
Just as he was about to startWhen he asked to confirm.
"Is Kitagawa in Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School?"
I saw that Ryoma Echizen had already opened the newspaper.
At this moment, his eyes flashed with a strange light.
Although it was clearly written on it.
But he still asked the question.
"Yes."
Suddenly awake, Inoue Mamoru remembered what his main mission was.
He immediately replied to Ryoma Echizen affirmatively.
"Kitagawa?"
The next moment.
Echizen Nanjiro, who had pretended to be drowsy, suddenly became energetic.
After all, the first two times he heard the name Kitagawa, it brought him some "surprise".
"Dad, can you give me this newspaper?"
Ryoma Echizen asked seriously instead of answering Nanjiro Echizen's question.
"I don't want that."
After his eyes flickered a few times, Echizen Nanjiro looked at his son deeply and answered casually.
After getting the answer, Echizen Ryoma was ready to leave.
At this time.
"Um, Echizen-san."
"Kitagawa-san asked me to convey a few words to you."
"He hopes you can break free from the shackles of samurai and walk your own tennis path."
"Also, smile~"
Inoue Mamoru, who had the experience of conveying a message once, carefully organized his words.
He said these words very seriously.
The voice fell.
Echizen Nanjiro was stunned, and Echizen Ryoma was also stunned.
"Yeah."
"I know."
After a short silence, Echizen Ryoma gave a serious reply.
Then he turned around and left.
"We're leaving too."
Looking at Echizen Ryoma's back, Inoue Mamoru felt a little regretful, but said with a smile on his face.
Immediately, he and Shiba Saori left the Echizen family.
"Why do I feel like I'm not what a father should be?"
"No wonder Ryuya said Kitagawa was a little brat..."
After Echizen Nanako returned to the house.
Sitting on the steps, Echizen Nanjiro muttered strangely.
