Net King: Nioh Phantom

After watching Akutagawa's various cheering actions for Marui Bunta with a look of unbearable expression on his face, Xiangri was dragged by his partner to follow Akutagawa to a place where there was a long queue.

After Marui Bunta finished his work, he couldn't wait to queue up for his limited edition puffs.

Just as he was lining up, a young boy with orange-brown curly hair and bright eyes suddenly appeared in front of him.——

"Marui-kun! Marui-kun! I actually met Marui-kun!"

Akutagawa was so excited that he almost went to heaven.

He walked out of Rikkai University drowsily, but he didn't expect to see his long-time tennis idol Marui Bunta at the place where he was about to line up to get on the bus!

"Do you know me?"

Marui looked at the excited Akutagawa.

He is a student of Hyotei, but has he seen this person?

"Um! Marui-kun plays great tennis!"

Akutagawa responded eagerly to his idol.

"Oh, it's you, the classmate who comes to see me play every day."

Marui nodded clearly. He was still somewhat impressed by the people who came to cheer him up every day recently.

"But even so, I won't give up my position to you!"

"If you want, queue up yourself!"

Although he is a fan, Marui, who has been looking forward to today's limited edition delicious ice cream puffs, will never give up his place in the queue!

"Ah, what do you want?"

"Isn't this the place to queue to get on the bus?"

Akutagawa Jirou looked confused, with confusion and confusion written all over his face.

"certainly not! The place to line up to get on the bus is right next to it! Marui said, pointing to the stop sign not far away.

"Oh, then I have to wait until Marui-kun buys the puffs before leaving!"

Akutagawa glanced at the stop sign and decisively gave up the idea of

​​waiting for the bus back to Tokyo now. It was a rare opportunity to have close contact with his idol Marui, and he must seize this opportunity!

"Well, if you insist on doing this, just wait aside for a while."

Marui said nonchalantly. As long as it doesn't prevent him from buying puffs, it's okay for Akutagawa to stand next to him.

So Shinobu and Mugahi not far away watched Akutagawa quietly standing next to Marui, waiting for Marui to buy Puffs

"Yushi, I want to eat too."

Xiangri said pitifully as he looked at the shop's sign and the queue.

Before he had dinner, he was pulled over by Ninzu to follow Akutagawa.

Now he is watching others queuing up to buy delicious desserts, and he also loves desserts. How could he bear it!

"Yue Ren, please bear with me!"

Yushi Ninzu held on to Xiangri's clothes tightly, fearing that his partner would rush over to line up on impulse and disturb Jirou.

"When we finish our mission, you can have all the desserts from Atobe’s house!"

He opened his mouth and made a promise on behalf of the Hyotei Minister Atobe Keigo who was not here.

#Atubo, who lacks nothing but money#

#As long as problems can be solved with money, they are not problems.#

"Then just wait."

"But Yushi, you must remember to tell Atobe to prepare desserts for me when you go back! Xiang

Ri said with his eyes closed.

Watching others happily leave with desserts in their hands, what a torture it was for him!

#Xiangri, who made great sacrifices for the Ice Emperor#

"Okay, okay, be sure to tell Atobe and let him prepare a dessert to comfort you."

Be patient and let the hair go."

"Don't close your eyes. Come on, they've already bought it."

"Come on, let’s go sit on that park bench and observe!"

Renzu casually got a large newspaper from nowhere, and pulled Xiang Ri to sit on the park chair he was looking for.

He stretched out his hand, opened the prepared newspaper, and motioned to Xiang Ri to hold it with one hand. Then take the other side.

Xiangri looked at the dug hole in the newspaper speechlessly.——

"Yushi, is this the preparation tool you are talking about?"

——Has my partner read too many campus romance novels? He actually took this crappy plot seriously and planned to put it into practice!

"This will ensure that we will not be discovered by the two opposite!"

Ninzu looked through a hole at Akutagawa and Marui who were sitting opposite.

But in this case, the two of us look so strange! Yushi, haven't you noticed that the people around you are looking at us? It's very conspicuous!

Xianghi Looking at the strange looks from the people around me, I felt that I had made a big sacrifice for Atobe's dessert.

"Do you want to eat one?"

"I can only give you one~"

Perhaps it was Akutagawa's sincerity that touched Marui, and Marui actually took the initiative to give a puff to this student of Hyōtei whose name he still didn't know.

"Um! want!"

Akutagawa Jirou happily took the ice cream puff from his idol and ate it with a satisfied look on his face.

"It’s delicious, this is a very rare limited edition puff!"

Marui said while eating puffs.

The look of these two people made Mugahigatake, who was watching through the hole in the newspaper, couldn't help but clenched the newspaper tightly - he must ask Atobe for a lot of desserts when he goes back!

"By the way, who are you? Marui asked after finishing a puff with satisfaction.

"ah? Marui-kun, you don’t remember me!"

Akutagawa Jirou collapsed in disbelief.

"I am Akutagawa, Jirou Akutagawa, Jirou Akutagawa from the rookie competition!"

He emphasized his name three times in a row.

"Rookie competition?"

"It's you, the one who took my wristband!"

It turned out to be Jirou Akutagawa who stole my favorite wristband!

Marui instantly remembered the Akutagawa who shamelessly pestered him for the wristband after the game.

"right! right! it is me!"

"Marui-kun, I have been keeping your wrist guards! Jilang saw that Marui had remembered, and immediately said happily

"Are you the right choice for Hyokui? Why didn’t I see you in the Kanto Competition?"

Marui gave up discussing the wrist brace issue with Akutagawa who was in a feverish state and turned to question.

"Yes, I didn’t play in the Kanto Tournament because I fell asleep."

Akutagawa said embarrassedly.

He has always been very confident about Atobe and the others.

Because for him, tennis is really just a kind of"enjoyment", and winning or losing never matters.

But facing Marui, he felt a little guilty - —Because Marui-kun played in the Kanto Tournament! He won with a big score!

So he was rarely a little depressed.——

"I really want to play tennis with Marui-kun again"

"Sure, we can have a fight if we have the chance."

Marui said casually.

His words were actually just polite words; but his polite words were taken seriously by Akutagawa. Akutagawa, who had been naively thinking about having another tennis match with Marui Bunta, didn't expect it at all. Marui's intention was to wait until next year's Kanto Competition or National Competition before their two schools meet before playing again.

He automatically understood that - Marui-kun has agreed, and when he returns, he can talk to Atobe and they can compete. Got it!

"marvelous! Compete with Marui-kun!"

"Compete with Marui-kun!"

"I'm going to compete with Marui-kun!"

Akutagawa jumped up excitedly, and then he couldn't restrain his overly excited mood and jumped away!

Marui, who was left behind to watch Akutagawa's leaving figure, felt that this classmate named Jirou Akutagawa was really strange - -Did he understand what he meant?
