Niou: ...So, what kind of image do you have of me in your mind? Byodoin-senpai!
"Haha, I called because I have something to tell you..." Byodoin smiled and said, "I heard that Mitsuya said that we have a competition with you this year, right?"
Byodoin was being vague about it, after all, it involved confidentiality regulations, so before Nioh joined U17, it was better to mention less related content.
Niou: ... Why did you suddenly ask about this, Senior? Could it be that -
"Senior, are you coming back to participate in the competition?" Niwang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was so excited that he almost jumped out of his bed.
The more Niou thought about it, the more excited he became. If that was the case, who cares about Jujiro? Byodoin-senpai is the most important! Imagine playing against Byodoin-senpai in a formal match like this one day. Even if he can't win, it would be good to see Byodoin-senpai's match.
Phew...I feel happy just thinking about it!
"No—" Hearing the voice that rose almost instantly, Byodoin Phoenix knew that the little white-haired boy was a little excited, but he was forgiven for interrupting the little white-haired boy's excitement. "Our game is not over yet, so..."
Nioh: "Ah~..." He drawled out, obviously disappointed.
Byodoin Phoenix kicked the stones under its feet and listened to Nioh's "Ah~". It felt funny in its heart. This little guy always looked like he had not grown up, although he was not very big to begin with.
"We have just arrived in Germany and haven't yet conquered the whole of Europe. How can they let us go back?" Byodoin Phoenix patiently explained to Niou her itinerary and what she saw and heard along the way.
"So how long will your competition last?" Niou counted the days in his mind. The next ones would be the national competition and Byodoin senior's birthday. He was really looking forward to the time when Byodoin Phoenix would return home, and hoped that he wouldn't be late!
Byodoin Phoenix said, "It will probably take another half a month. I will fly to France tomorrow... Although I feel that I will not be able to catch up with the opening of the national competition, I should be able to catch up with the finals!"
At this point, he added, "Your school was the national champion last year, so you should be able to make it to the finals this year!"
"Of course! We will be stronger this year!" Ren Wang said proudly. Even though there were all kinds of "frictions" (pitfalls) between their team members all day long, and they had thousands of ulterior motives. However, when it came to such a big thing, they were still very consistent with the outside world!
"That's good!" Byodoin Phoenix smiled, as if she had thought of something, and suddenly said, "This time, I met a very interesting person in the German competition!"
When Niou heard this, he paused subconsciously, pursed his lips, and asked tentatively, "What kind of person is this that makes Byodoin-senpai feel interesting?"
I'm a bit concerned!
There was a dark current in Niou's eyes. However, it was from Germany and had nothing to do with Japan, so he shouldn't need to think too much about it!
"He is a serious elite, but he is trapped in his own elite routine. He plays tennis very 'ugly'!"
Byodoin Phoenix's words sounded as if they were completely derogatory, but Nioh knew in his heart that the person who could make Byodoin Phoenix remember it and tell it specifically to him must be very powerful.
Should we be thankful that this guy is German?
Niou suddenly felt something was wrong. What was going on? Even if that guy was not from Germany but Japan, so what? If the senior from Byodoin thought that someone was good and paid attention to him, what did it have to do with him? Didn't he also have people he admired in the middle school tennis world?
This is a very normal thing for a tennis player! Why would he feel uncomfortable doing this? This is not normal...
Shaking his head to stop himself from thinking too much, Ren Wang continued to ask, "I heard that from Senior. Have you ever played a match with him and taught him a lesson?"
The matter-of-factness in Niou's words was so obvious that Byodoin Phoenix was surprised.
"Why, do you think I am such an upright person who is willing to be a mentor to others?" He asked in return. How well others play tennis? What does it have to do with him? How could he be so kind as to...
"Yes!" said King Ren.
Help others?
Um?
"What did you just say?" Was he sure he didn't hear it wrong? The little white-haired boy actually said 'yes'?
Ren Wang repeated his answer again, "I said, yes, Senior, you are indeed an upright and excellent person!"
Byodoin Phoenix: ...
If his hands weren't occupied, he would have wanted to tap the tree next to him! I thought that the misleading image we had when we first met had already collapsed and fallen apart after so many years of getting along.
Apart from anything else, based on the current relationship between Little White Hair and Mitsuya, he didn't believe that Ren Wang didn't know what kind of image he had in U17...
Think about how those guys in U17 described him, [tyrant], [violent ruler]... A lot of them were scared of him and acted cowardly. Even Mitsutani, who was delivering the message to Nioh, probably didn't have a very positive impression of him!
I thought that the weird image of him in Nioh's heart had ended long ago, but until today, Byodoin Phoenix realized... why is this guy still sticking his neck out in a serious manner? Do you think he is an upright and good person?
"Is there any problem?" Seeing that Byodoin didn't speak for a long time, Niou asked.
Byodoin Phoenix: ...Do you really think there's no problem, or are you asking a rhetorical question?
Byodoin Phoenix was a little confused about Niou's thoughts, "Niou... do you really think I'm a good person?"
Niou: "...Hmm?"
After being stunned for a second, Renwang reacted, oh~ I have been silent for a long time just now because I was thinking about this matter!
A clear voice came from the phone along with the radio waves. Niou's voice was firm and pleasant, "Of course? In my heart, Byodoin Phoenix will always be the most upright and honest person!"
Byodoin Phoenix: ...Haha, there are so many people in this world who think that I am not upright and honest. Could it be that they are all blind?
Niou continued to mutter, "Those who think that Byodoin-senpai is bad are just blind!" That's right, Niou firmly believed this in his heart. "They don't see the good side of Byodoin-senpai, so they stubbornly believe that Byodoin-senpai is what they imagine in their hearts!"
At this point, Ren Wang became very angry. "Senior, you don't know how surprised I was when I received the message from Senior Mitsuya... Are the people over there all brains muddled? So one by one, you think that Senior, you are a tyrant? Senior, you are so kind!"
Byodoin Phoenix: ...Are you sure it's kindness, not nuclear kindness? Yes, you read that right, the nuclear as in nuclear weapons!
