However, this glance made Niou Masaharu's face turn black.
"..."If you really think everything is fine, don't look over here. Why should you look over here?
Intuition told Niou that Echizen Ryoma should take a look and see what was going on.
As expected, Kintaro Toyama, who was always observing Ryoma Echizen's condition, saw the boy opposite him turn his head and have a complicated look.
It looks so complicated, but when you look over here you can see the Phoenix of Byodoin Temple and Niou Masaharu.
The red-haired boy hesitated for a moment, "..." Two people... Who is the person who makes Chaoqian so sad?
Recalling the past, Byodoin Phoenix kicked Echizen Ryoma out of the training camp. Niou Masaharu kept Echizen Ryoma in the training camp, but then Chaoqian disappeared again.
It seems that the intentions of both of them are not very pure, and they are both suspected of causing trouble.
Originally, he wanted to distinguish the two through specific events, but after thinking about it, Kintaro Toyama found that they were a tie.
That... this...
"Who on earth is that?" He looked at Echizen Ryoma with a bitter face, "Chousen, who on earth are you looking at?"
"Nothing!" Echizen Ryoma calmly withdrew his gaze. He had already said that this matter was his own fault. It was useless to blame anyone now. If he had to blame someone, he should blame himself for being so persistent!
"Toyama, I'm sorry, I may not be able to fight you with all my strength in this match!" He said that he was going all out in terms of state and spirit. No matter what, Echizen Ryoma could not recover his most confident, cheerful and optimistic state before, so...
"But don't worry, I will still try my best!" He has let down the entire Japanese team and the expectations of others. Now, he cannot participate in the finals as a Japanese, but he is already standing on the court. As a tennis player, he will not let this game down.
"Um."
Although sad, the other person's eyes were still full of hope. Toyama Kintaro breathed a sigh of relief. This was the Echizen Ryoma he wanted to see the most.
"Then... I'm going to serve!" Chao Qian was able to break through difficulties and find himself, so he, who already exists in his own self, should work harder to fight back against this effort.
"ha--"
"Bang--"
“Bang!”
The fierce sound of tennis balls hitting each other resounded under the sky again.
"Then the outcome of this game needs to be redefined." Byodoin Phoenix raised the corners of his mouth. They all underestimated Echizen Ryoma's ability to endure.
“Well… the condition is worthy of recognition, but the outcome is still uncertain…” The difference of a millimeter is what separates the true masters.
This is the case for Echizen Ryoma and Toyama Kintaro.
Now...although the real game has just begun, Echizen Ryoma's defeat is already inevitable.
"Well, how about making a bet?" Byodoin Phoenix suddenly asked.
"Senior, you want to make a bet with me?" Niou felt strange. The previous Byodoin Phoenix would never do such a thing with him. After all, it would be a bit cheap. It always felt that it was a loss of status, especially for the Byodoin Phoenix.
"Yeah!" Being with his little white hair, he was willing to try anything, including betting. And this kind of thing was not just a simple bet, but a hobby between the couple.
As for who taught this, I just said that the guy in the competition had a lot of say -
"Okay." Niou nodded. Since the senior from Byodoin said so, he naturally couldn't be scared.
only……
"What's the bet?" Niou raised his chin slightly and motioned for Byodoin Phoenix to explain in detail.
"Let's see who will win between the two of them?" said the Byodoin Phoenix.
"Okay." Ren Wang's eyes lit up. He liked this kind of competition. "Then, what is the bet?"
Ren Wang talked freely, "Let's make it clear first, since we want to play, let's play happily. Senior, please don't refuse to pay when the time comes, otherwise it will be bad..."
"Hmph, we haven't even decided who to bet on and the game hasn't even ended yet, and you're so sure that the person you picked will win?" He tapped Ren Wang's forehead in annoyance. This little guy always likes to watch the fun, and he especially likes to watch him.
"Hmph~" With a tsundere snort, Ren Wang asked, "What's the bet?"
"I've always had some money in my hand from previous competitions, do you want it..." Byodoin Phoenix said this calmly, something that made Niou's heart almost explode.
"...Really?" The king was overjoyed when he heard this. The amount of money was not important. The most important thing was the attitude of Byodoin Phoenix. It seemed that they were asked to hand over their private money.
Hahaha, a match of Echizen Ryoma can actually earn the right to be privately paid by the seniors of Byodoin, oh, that is really too valuable——
"Don't you regret it, Senior?"
Niou asked hurriedly, fearing that Byodoin Phoenix would regret it.
"No!" The young man said firmly, "I won't say anything. You may not win."
"On the contrary, what are you going to bet on?" Although this is one of our own, we still have to make sure we don't lose out when we can. The Byodoin Phoenix is not stupid.
"Well...how much private money does Byodoin-senpai have? How about I give it to you on a one-to-one basis?" To be fair, Nioh also chose money, and it was the same amount.
"Okay." The two reached an agreement successfully.
"So who are you going to bet on, senior?" Ren Wang replied. Once the bet is made, the person has to be chosen.
“Boom—”
"The match is over with a score of 7 to 5. Kintaro Toyama wins." As the two were talking, the first match between Ryoma Echizen and Kintaro Toyama had ended. Kintaro Toyama won with his advantage in attitude and spirit.
But... there are still two games left! For a latecomer like Echizen Ryoma, everything is uncertain.
"I'll bet on Echizen Ryoma, and you bet on Toyama Kintaro!" Byodoin Phoenix turned around, "How is it, is it fair?"
Niou pouted, not wanting to look at the Byodoin Phoenix, "Are you cheating, Senior? You clearly know that Echizen Ryoma has special properties."
"But you believe that this world is not a mature world, don't you?" Byodoin Phoenix knows his child too well. Whether for himself or for Toyama Kintaro, he will choose Toyama Kintaro!
Because breaking the shackles of the world has always been his code of conduct!
"Pu Li~" The fox with white fur slowly raised the corners of his lips under the gaze of the Phoenix of Byodoin. Senior, you guessed it right!
