"Coach! Kid! Let's play again!"
Kikumaru showed no restraint and jumped up to the wall and shouted loudly.
"Hey, it's true"
Seeing his partner just climbing over the wall and getting in, Dashi was no longer able to educate him.
"Isn't this Eiji's character?"
Smiling, Fuji said, they had long been used to Kikumaru's lively attitude.
"There is a 100% chance that the coach will yell next."
Pushing up his glasses, Gan Sadaharu analyzed calmly.
"Kids, what time is it? You are so noisy!"
Sure enough, just as Ini Sadaharu said, Nanjiro's lazy voice came out.
"welcome!"
At the same time, the door was opened, and a young girl stood at the door and said with a smile.
Nanako Echizen, Ryoma's cousin.
"Sorry to bother you, I'm so sorry."
Compared to Oishi's troubles, Tezuka and the others walked in skillfully.
This is not the first time they have come to Nanjiro's home since the youth trials ended.
Due to Sumire Ryuzaki's return, Nanjiro also lost his position as coach.
But they had no hope for Sumire Ryuzaki's return, so they had to do whatever they had to do.
After all this time, they could still feel the educational gap between Sumire Ryuzaki and Nanjiro.
The same training method is like free-range training, but Nanjiro can make them feel at ease and make progress.
So, every once in a while, they would go to Nanjiro's house to practice.
In addition to coming to play, it was also for Nanjiro to watch their confrontation so that he could give some pointers.
It just so happened that there was a tennis court in the courtyard behind Nanjiro's house.
Just enough for a few of them.
"Is the kid not here today? Sister Nanako."
Kikumaru slipped into the hall and didn't see Ryoma, so he immediately asked Echizen Nanako.
"He seems to have been called out by his brother today."
Nanako immediately smiled and replied.
"That's it. I also said that I still want to play ball with him."
A little bored, Kikumaru said with his head in his hands.
"Aunt Lunzi, we are here to disturb you again today."
"Ah, it's you. It's okay. It's a lot more lively here now that you're here, and it can make him move more."
"A sneeze."
"Who, who is nagging me behind my back!"
Nanjiro sneezed at the back temple platform and said in a dissatisfied tone.
"Kid, that's not what left-handers do."
Others were playing on the court, but Takashi Kawamura was holding his right hand and swinging the racket in his left hand.
But his actions were corrected by Nanjiro.
"Thank you coach."
Hearing this, Kawamura Takashi thanked him.
"As I said, I am no longer your coach, alas."
He couldn't remember how many times he mentioned this, but he also felt a little regretful.
When you were about to leave, why did you say anything more out of pity for them?
(If you don’t understand anything, you can come to me.)
It's very troublesome for these people to run to his house whenever they have nothing to do.
Mainly because Sumire Ryuzaki didn't care about them coming, but wanted these people to learn more.
In addition, Ryoma has been having fun with them recently, and Renzi is also happy, so Nanjiro has nothing to say.
"Nothing"
“It’s not bad at all.”
Looking at these energetic young people, Nanjiro didn't dislike them. It was much better than boringly hitting the clock all day long with nothing to do.
"Come on, little one! Haha!"
"I have a few more goals than you."
In the huge shopping mall, Long Ya and Long Ma were playing with the batting machine, comparing who could hit more balls.
"hateful."
Muttering, Ryoma was very unhappy. He had obviously tried his best, but he still couldn't compare to Long Ya.
(It doesn’t matter that he has more balls than me, he can also hit them faster)
Looking at Long Ya's relaxed posture, even though Long Ma was not convinced, he knew that the gap between the two sides was too obvious.
It can only be said that Long Ya does have more experience and training than him.
"What's wrong, little one, you don't want to play anymore?"
At the end of the set, the gap was close to more than twenty goals, which made Ryoma turn his head.
"Come again!"
But it is absolutely impossible for him to admit defeat.
"Yeah, come on!"
Long Ya hadn't been so happy for a long time, with a smile on his face.
The selection team felt very sorry for Nash and the others. Even if the Shinkansen malfunction caused him to fail to catch up, it was not entirely due to his personal factors, but it was still his responsibility.
Long Ya also tried to apologize, and Nash didn't blame him for anything.
But Long Ya always felt guilty about it
In any case, if he had not been late, Jabberwock would not have been in such a situation.
Afterwards, the Jabberwock was disintegrated as expected due to this game.
The departure of sponsors and advertisers meant that the team could no longer continue in its usual form.
If you want to say who has shouldered the most responsibility, it is undoubtedly Nash.
The team's responsibility and the doubts from the media and the abuse from fans.
Just thinking about it made Long Ya feel uncomfortable.
But he had no choice but to do anything, so he was very worried during those days, and he couldn't be happy even if he found Ryoma.
After all, Jabberwock helped him at least in the beginning, and many of its members are actually quite interesting.
Now that it has lost all sponsorships, Jabberwock can no longer arrange and operate games to make profits as before, which has also led to the resignation and departure of many of its staff.
Even if it hasn't been completely disbanded, it's just a name now.
Except that these members are still alive, there is no support.
(There will be no more team competitions and guidance competitions in the future.)
(Whoever wants to leave is free to you)
Those are the words Nash told members around the world.
Although some people left here, most of them still stayed.
Noah and Gorgias in Australia
British Keith and Lin Xiu, etc.
Long Ya is also one of them
They don't think the Jabberwock team is "dead".
"You're too slow!"
Taking the lead by one goal, Ryoma spoke.
"Still a long way to go!"
But in the next moment, Long Ya hit back three goals in an instant and said that line to Ryoma.
"hateful!"
The two of them continued to fight until the afternoon break.
"Do you plan to stay in Neon forever?"
During the break, Ryoma looked at Long Ya and suddenly asked.
"Ah? Why do you think so?"
When Long Ya heard this, he grinned and asked.
"Because I saw you going to ask daddy for help."
"Tsk, why are you still awake at night?"
After being pointed out by Long Ma, Long Ya said very depressedly.
"It won't take long, only about two months. At least let me get my revenge."
"Otherwise, I don't want Jabberwock to suffer too many injustices."
In his heart, he still cares too much about that team.
