Saturday.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Nanako Echizen looked at Echizen Ryoma who was training hard in the yard early in the morning with slightly worried eyes.

"What's going on with Ryoma? Since I came back with my uncle last time, I feel like he has changed and become more nervous."

Then he turned to look at Nanjiro Echizen, who was lying on his side reading the newspaper in a lazy posture, and asked with concern: "Uncle, what did you do with Ryoma last time?"

"I didn't do anything, I just went to see an old friend."

Echizen Nanjiro said nonchalantly: "Nanako, don't worry about Ryoma. It's a good thing for young people to work hard, and that kid."

As if he had thought of something, Echizen Nanjiro showed a meaningful smile.

"That kid is still far away."

"Really, it's because you always keep saying this, uncle, that Ryoma is lukewarm towards you."

Nanako Echizen complained.

"Don't worry, that boy Ryoma respects my father very much..."

Before he finished speaking, a tennis ball flew directly towards Echizen Nanjiro.

"Bang!"

"oops!"

"Feel sorry."

Looking at Echizen Ryoma's indifferent expression, there was no hint of apology.

Echizen Nanjiro stood up like a carp.

"Boy! What do you mean?"

Echizen Ryoma said indifferently: "I was not careful, I made a mistake."

Nanako Echizen said with concern: "Ryoma, are you tired from practice? Do you want me to make you something to eat to replenish your strength?"

"unnecessary."

Echizen Ryoma's attitude towards Echizen Nanako was obviously much softer. After thinking about it for a moment, he said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Nanako Echizen smiled and narrowed her eyes.

"fine."

Echizen Nanjiro was indignant.

"Nanako, are you mistaken? I was the one who was beaten."

"Uncle, Ryoma didn't mean it, and..."

Nanako Echizen looked at the swimsuit photo album that had been uncovered by the newspaper, a blush appeared on her pretty face, and she looked at Nanjiro Echizen angrily.

"Uncle reads such unhealthy books again, I want to tell aunt."

"Ah! No, Nanako doesn't want it. This is my last food reserve."

Echizen Nanjiro immediately cried and begged.

However, Echizen Nanako was very resolute and said that Echizen Nanjiro should set an example, otherwise he would teach Echizen Ryoma a bad example.

Just when one of the two begged and the other refused, Echizen Ryoma said calmly: "Dad, come and have a fight with me."

Echizen Nanjiro and Echizen Nanako stopped immediately.

Looking at Echizen Ryoma with fighting spirit in his eyes, Echizen Nanjiro smiled and looked serious.

The eyes are nice, but...

"You're not even close yet, kid."

Seeing Echizen Nanjiro's tugging, the annoyance in Echizen Ryoma's eyes flashed away.

This guy is really hateful.

Just when Echizen Nanjiro was about to say a few words of joy, he heard Echizen Nanako's voice with a hint of warning.

"Uncle~"

When Nanjiro Echizen looked back, he found that Nanako Echizen was holding her own food reserves and looking at him with an expression that said it was up to you.

"No, Nanako, no."

"It depends on your performance."

"Ahem, okay!"

Echizen Nanjiro coughed twice, and then looked at Echizen Ryoma seriously.

"Okay, let's play with you."

"faster."

Echizen Ryoma turned around coolly, but his mind couldn't help but think of the previous match between Hata Souji and Echizen Nanjiro, especially the last ball...

Thinking of the grace of that shot, Echizen Ryoma tightened his grip on his racket and looked more serious.

Still a long way to go!

...

At the same time, on the other side.

"Director-General! Hurry up, hurry up!"

Souji Hatada looked helplessly at Kintaro Toyama who kept running forward.

"Say, it's a nice Saturday, why do I have to come out with you?"

"Hey, there's nothing I can do. I don't recognize the address that uncle gave me."

"Haven't you been there before?"

"I didn't remember."

Seeing Kintaro Toyama's carefree look, Souji Hatada was also a little speechless. The same was true for the store given by Echizen Nanjiro. It was closed during the week and opened on weekends, which was a bit too willful.

And for this reason, God knows how many times Kintaro Toyama complained and complained this week. Soji Hata said that if it didn’t work, he would find another shop to tie the wires, but Kintaro Toyama said plausibly: “No, this is the uncle’s recommendation.

There must be something different about this store!”

It seems that Nanjiro Echizen convinced Kintaro Toyama with that goal.

Although he was so tired that he fell asleep at the time, Souji Hatada could guess that Kintaro Toyama must have asked Echizen Nanjiro to play a ball with him.

I really don’t know how Echizen Nanjiro coped with it.

"Ah! Yes, yes!"

Kintaro Toyama looked at the store not far away and ran over excitedly.

This time, the wooden door that kept the two people out was finally opened.

"Hello!"

As soon as he entered the door, Kintaro Toyama greeted him energetically.

"Oh, we have guests, welcome."

In the store, a white-haired old man who was watching the replay of a tennis match on TV turned around slowly and greeted the two of them.

"Grandpa, we need to tie the string!"

Kintaro Toyama handed his racket forward without saying a word.

When the old man with a calm expression saw Kintaro Toyama's racket, his eyes shone with light, and he asked calmly: "This racket?"

"My mother-in-law gave it to me."

"Your mother-in-law."

The old man nodded, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes, and then smiled kindly at Kintaro Toyama.

"Your mother-in-law is amazing, young man."

Toyama Kintaro also nodded with a smile and said affirmatively: "That's right! Mother-in-law is the most powerful!"

Seeing Kintaro Toyama's innocent smile, the old man immediately felt good about him. Older people all like Kintaro Toyama, a boy with a pure childlike heart who is full of energy, sunshine and has no worries.

Then his eyes fell on Souji Hata.

"These pair of squinting eyes..."

"Who are you?"

"Yes, I am the grandson of Bantian Mikiya."
