It’s the birthday of a certain novelist today! So naturally, a gift addressed to him has arrived.
It was a black velvet box with green ribbon containing two things: a rose gold wristwatch, and a locket bracelet whose chain is made out of rose-shaped beads, alongside these two accessories is a handwritten note.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Happy birthday darling Kei! I made these just for you! 😗
I wonder if we could talk a bit more often…
— 24:00💋
Kei was sitted on his desk looking at the black velvet box and it's jewels with... feelings
Although apparently he was looking at the wristwatch and the bracalet indifferent his cheeks was pink due to the blush and Kei can hear his own heart for how strong it's beating
Carefully,almost trembling he touch the detailed rose bracalet. It was so beautiful...the watch too but roses always was his favorite flowers
-"he made this for me?"-Kei thought and notices his eyes glowing with tears that not fallen
This maybe was the first time someone make something for him
And more important...the gift was from the person who make his heart beat and provoke in Kei feelings he never thought can experiment before
Reading the note again he almost said something like a "EEK!" similar to his adoptive younger brother
But Kei was incredibily happy (and blushed) as while he read the note again
"i need to go more to echizen! I definitely want to talk more with Nishio"-Kei thought and go to his beloved bed looking at the accesories with a soft (and loving) smile
---outside Kei's bedroom-
"we should say him his door it's open and we can see him?-
"of course not"
"i guess you have reason...Kei looks very happy too,from who it's the gift?"
"i don't know but judging by his reaction...the lucky person who stole his heart"

What a coincidence! At the beginning of spring, it wasn’t only the birthday of a particular errand boy but also a certain wagashi artist from Nara! And of course that meant a present has made its way into Harumatsuya! This present in particular was a medium box of green foil wrappings held shut by a back ribbon with a spider web pattern on, and for the contents…
It’s a plushie of a caterpillar, how cute!
Tumblr media
And about that box, there’s a black note of white writing attached to it.
“Happy birthday, Asa-chan!!!
Kekeke! They weren’t lying when they said we’re a lot like twins! Anywayyyy with the start of spring some of the plushies in this shop I came across with were on sale and I thought you’d like this one :3c
—☂️
“Tada~☆ Look at this baby I found at my doorstep this morning! At long last, Kinako-chan and Kuromitsu-kun are finally having a new friend!”
With Asahi’s overly enthusiastic voice, the green caterpillar plushie was suddenly shoved right in front of his red-haired bestie who was now seeming to be busy pondering over the menu attached on the table.
Yeah, right now they were hanging out at the karaoke box nearby.
“Oh, isn’t the sender Meguno-san from Echizen?” guessed Yuuya as he was done ordering some drinks and snacks.
A ‘Caterpillar’ hmm? That kinda reminded him of someone a certain ‘Cat’ has introduced to him lately…
“Yup~ I must make sure to add him more extra kohakutou or some new candies when he stops at my shop next time —And there was also one novelist from Kōfu who came here to give me homemade cookies!”
“Sounds like your birthday has gone a lot merrier than before, that’s a good thing …Gosh, somehow it feels like my gift has become pale in comparison with theirs.”
“Hah??? What’re you talking about? Hey, how could I not be happy with your wonderful gift since you’ve tried to find me a new charm that I lost weeks ago?”
Asahi proudly raised his phone up to show his friend the dangling phone straps that he had just received from him.
“And not to forget that you’re the one who helped me adjust my mixtape until the finalization! This much already makes me pretty touched, you know~”
“Wha—” Yuuya stared at him in disbelief a bit since he had never told his bestie about his intention before.
“*laughs* Glad to know you like it. Still, I think it would be better if I could find something that looks just like your old one.”
“Nah. This new one is super cute and there’s no need to cry over spilled milk. I’ll just remember to be more careful from now on~”
Asahi replied as he was looking for the song they will sing and just then, the karaoke’s staff had just entered the room.
The drinks and snacks they ordered had just arrived; one bowl of potato chips, one pink lemonade for Yuuya, and the Spring’s limited edition parfait for himself. 
Asahi whistled a little at the sight of his fancy dessert.
“But by the way, do you have anything you want to talk with me today hmm~ YuuYu?”
Despite his bubbly and a bit airy outlook, Asahi was surprisingly sharp when it came to sensing his friend’s worries. Since his buddy decided to invite him out for a hangout somewhere else rather than just talking things over the dinner at Saigo-san’s house like usual, thus it meant there was something he didn’t want the old man to know just yet…
“Ah, riiight~ Actually, lots of stuffs have kept coming up to me lately…”
Yuuya wore a troubled smile on his face as the sunset colors in his eyes knowingly met his friend’s blossom pink and green.
At first what he wanted to tell his friend was only about his soon graduation in this spring, but with a series of weird encounters that happened to him within these past months, he was wound up feeling like it wasn’t just something he could keep silent about.
…Haaa. So, which one should he tell him first then?

┈ ⋞ 〈 ⏣ 〉 ⋟ ┈
You got mail!!!!
┈ ⋞ 〈 ⏣ 〉 ⋟ ┈
What laid outside the door was a medium, cylindrical white box with green ribbon tying it shut, on top of it was a note reading "Happy birthday, Strychnine of Shinagawa! (no I definitely did not lose a bet to do this or something but hey, everybody loves sweets, right?) ⁓Sharon "
From the condensed penmanship on the note, one could tell that it was pretty much hastily written on a moving vehicle.
Enveloped with black and white shredded paper, the box contained:
About 20 or so flat lollipops, the colours are a marbled neon green and black, each had a dark brown spider set on one of the flat sides of them, they were realistic, they even have fuzz on them! Are they real or just a piece of sugar art? Who knows?
┈ ⋞ 〈 ⏣ 〉 ⋟ ┈
Meanwhile in The Rusted Rose, Echizen...
┈ ⋞ 〈 ⏣ 〉 ⋟ ┈
"Haku... you mean to tell me that you convinced Lady to send that woman a present?!
*nods and chuckles* "Yep. ^^"
Nishio could only stare at him in shock within his shop, a bead of sweat rolling down his neck, followed by a customer's confused look as she peers over Kohaku's shoulder to get the scoop of what was happening.
Ritsuko stared blankly at the opened box of lollipops, well, isn’t this a surprise? She thought to herself while picking up one, a green one. And here she was thinking that today would go uninterrupted, oh well, to be honest, she was impressed with her bravery…or foolishness, whichever one of the two, especially since this came from one of the newer Divisions, Ritsuko reminded herself to repay the kindness from Echizen Division should the time come. After feeding a clone one of the lollipops to make sure it wasn’t poisonous and being slightly disappointed that he didn’t keel over, she stuck one in her mouth, humming lightly at the flavor, green apple, her favorite.
Thank you for the gift!

Hypnosis Microphone
Fusao’s Hypnosis Microphone takes the form of a silver ribbon mic on a black stand, the stand is wrapped with thorny vines of white roses, the roses contain dripping red paint painted on, as if to hide the fact that it’s white, the stand’s lower section has a large splatter of red paint.
Fusao’s speakers take the form of a large black coffin with gold linings and red paint splatters, the coffin opens to reveal a bunch of roses the same as his mic’s with a large black speaker with gold lining resembling shaped a lot like himself laid on top, the cofffin’s lid contains a gold relief carving of a cat’s head with its left eye replaced with roses on the outside and the inside reveals 4 small speakers of varying sizes. Black, thorny vines stained with red take the shape of a hand as it holds the lid open.
Whenever he activates his mic, he is contained inside of his speakers and comes out of it as if he’s a vampire.
Fusao’s rap ability, Rabbit Hole—[REDACTED] “Tch, I won’t let you know that yet.”
Most of Fusao’s rap themes revolve around the concept of life and death, that he is phasing in and out of both of them and how he is a dead man in the world of the living and a living man in the world of the dead. He occasionally slips in references to the children’s novel Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There, this is often paired with him telling the listeners to just for once, throw away logic and common sense out of the window.
Personality
Fusao likes to joke around a lot despite his position inside work and is quite easygoing compared to the typical boss, yet at the same time, he comes off as a complete enigma for he is very secretive, not easy to reveal his intentions and things like his personal life especially the days before he met his wife or how he got the position as CEO of his company.
Fusao has a petty side toward people he see as enemies, he will act out against them without any explanation whatsoever, mainly doing so just to see their reactions.
People say that he has a twisted view on the concept of ‘second chances’ for he has a history of employing people with… not the best records. He says that he does have a limit but it’s quite hard to believe…
Background
<???>
Trivia
His birthday is also Alexander Graham Bell’s birthday, not only is Bell credited for the telephone but he also is one of the first people to have patented a loudspeaker
He bites his thumb whenever he gets mad
He’s the only older member in the Ise family that Nayomi gets along with nowadays
He was pissed off when he found out all of his social media accounts were memorialized (not like he’s gonna make new ones anyway :p)
Wonder⇓anD Sound Systems is not at the same level as E.L. Medical or Arakawa Tech Industries though his company is quite popular amongst audiophiles
Though Wonder⇓anD is a competitor against Arakawa Tech, he seems to be in neutral terms with Misa herself
He was acquaintances with Reika Aichi’s mother, Minako time before her death
He is very fond of the series Handead Anthem, even though it was long discontinued
He has quite the dislike against Eiji Noguchi for… some reason

Ichinose Clan Theory — The meaning behind Guren’s crest
I already talked in a post that I recently made about how Kagami used the prestigious Tokugawa Clan as a reference for the Sangū Clan:
https://distinguished-slacker.tumblr.com/post/652605760110542848/sang%C5%AB-clan-theory-the-meaning-behind-mitsuba-and
However, while doing this research I randomly happened to find a clan that could be the reference for the Ichinose Clan:
Tumblr media
That is the Saitō Clan (斎藤氏). The Saitō Clan was a Japanese samurai clan from Echizen Province, Fuku Prefecture. This family ruled over the Mino Province, which bordered the Owari province that I mentioned in my previous post. Saitō Dōsan was a powerful warlord who married his daughter to Oda Nobunaga, who was Japanese “daimyō” (a Japanese magnate or feudal lord) and one of the leading figures of the Sengoku period. Oda Nobunaga was one of the "Great Unifiers" of Japan along with Tokugawa Ieyasu and Toyotomi Hideyoshi. However, Saitō Dōsan and his son Saitō Yoshitatsu were defeated by the Oda and died in 1564. Saitō Yoshitatsu’s son was known as a drunkard who was unable to govern and was defeated by the same Oda Nobunaga three years later. As a consequence, the Saitō clan disappeared in 1567. It sounds similar as to how the Ichinose Clan lost their prestige.
But why am I sure why the Saitō Clan was used as a reference for the Ichinose Clan?
This is because of Rígr Stafford who refers himself as ‘Saitō’ and who coincidentally happens to have a relation with the Ichinose Clan as seen in Volume 2, Chapter 1 of the Resurrection at 19 Light Novels:
Tumblr media
Although it wasn’t Saito who initially created the Ichinose Clan, as it was Sika Madu who created the whole Mikado no Oni, and so the Hīragi family and the 10 branch houses serving under them, it was indeed Saito who was the perpetrator of the incident that happened 500 years ago that caused the Ichinose Clan to separate from Mikado no Oni, form Mikado no Tsuki, and become “pariahs”. Moreover, as it is mentioned, similar to how Sika Madu insterted his own cells inside some members of the Hīragi family (or possibly all members in all generations since 1200 years ago), Saito inserted some of his own cells inside an Ichinose Clan member 500 years ago, and so all of his descendants, including Guren, still contain these cells inside their bodies to this day. This means that if Sika Madu is the God and creator of Mikado no Oni, then Saito would be the God and creator of Mikado no Tsuki.
To further support this claim, let’s have a look at the crest of the Saito Clan:
Tumblr media
Doesn’t this shape remind you of the pendant that Guren wears at the center of his uniform collar?
Tumblr media
There has been some discussion over the years when it comes to guessing what actually the shape of Guren’s pendant is; some people said it is a Sun while others say it is a cherry blossom flower. But what if it’s neither of them?
Tumblr media
First, the ones who claim it’s a Sun is because then it would complement the Hīragi Clan Moon pendant, more specifically Shinya, as Shinya’s name means “midnight” while Guren is called the “Sun” more than once, acting as foils to each other. However, if you have a closer look at it it’s hard to completely affirm that it’s a Sun because the circle is way too small in comparison to what the Sun rays would be and the five division of the rays resembles more a flower.
Here come the ones who claim it’s a cherry blossom. This is further supported by the use of the cherry blossom in OnS. When Guren attended Shibuya First High School for the first time, the cherry blossoms were in their blooming season, which is March/April. Also, in volume 14 of the manga, Mahiru happens to be seated on top of a cherry blossom tree with Guren behind her, and some people have theorised that the cherry blossom represents Mahiru because the flower symbolises the fleeting nature of life, as Mahiru “died” when she was only sixteen. There is also the fact that people assume it’s a cherry blossom because it’s one of the easiest flowers to recognise. But let’s have a look at how a cherry blossom actually looks like:
Tumblr media
The edges of real life cherry blossom petals are really smooth, and no matter what cherry blossom “Sakura” symbols you look at on internet, the petals always have this particular rounded, slightly pointy with an inwards triangular cut at the middle edge shape. But the petals of Guren’s flower emblem are way too rough and irregularly shaped to belong to those of a cherry blossom flower. Then, to what flower it belongs to?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This flower is the Nadeshiko flower Dianthus superbus or the fringed pink or large pink. As you can see, it has five petals which have rough edges like those of Guren’s crest. One of the regions this flower can be found is in Japan and it occurs at high altitudes, up to 2400 m. This reminds me of how Guren’s home is mountainous. But putting that aside, some fans of Japanese culture might recognise this name from the ‘Yamato Nadeshiko’, which is the personification of an idealized Japanese woman. According to this ideal, this woman has to feminine, poised, gentle, humble, patient, honest, charitable, benevolent, chaste and devoted to her husband, always submissive to him, dedicated to the family, bonus points if she looks weak, delicate, with pale skin and long, straight dark hair, preferably black. So then, who does fit this role?
Tumblr media
This is no one but the Ichinose girl who lived 500 years ago. In this panel taken from the Catastrophe at 16 manga, you can see how she has very long dark hair, and the way she gracefully holds the fan gives the idea of a sophisticated and feminine woman. Saito even calls her an “alluring girl”. Then it comes the idea of weakness and care for the family. The poor girl was one of the victims of Saitō’s plans and a victim of rape at the hands of the first Hīragi son as an act of jealousy because said girl chose his younger brother, the second Hīragi son. This girl in the end had the baby, who was accepted by the second Hīragi son, even if it wasn’t his son, and these three lived as a family after. However, they had to live a life of humiliation, being so powerless even to their last breath. Furthermore, the idea that the Yamamoto Nadeshiko name belongs to the Ichinose Clan in the OnS world, is that Mikado no Tsuki remained very traditional in comparison with Mikado no Oni, still living in a traditional Japanese mansion, wearing Japanese robes and being given a traditional education. The most obvious proof of this is how Sayuri, a member of Mikado no Tsuki, was raised by her family to fit these roles to serve Guren appropriately, as seen in the afterword that she appears in:
Tumblr media
So in conclusion, Guren’s crest represents the Nadeshiko flower. Of course I could be wrong, and it could be either the Sun or a cherry blossom but I think it’s worth to mention this other option as I haven’t seen anyone else write about it. There is also the possibility that it doesn’t have to be only one flower. Saito was the one who planned the meeting between the Ichinose girl and the two Hīragi sons 500 years ago. 500 years later, the same Saito plans the meeting between the Ichinose son, Guren, and the Hīragi girl, Mahiru. Maybe the flower that represents the first meeting is the Nadeshiko flower and the second meeting is represented by the Sakura flower (cherry blossom). The Nadeshiko flower symbolised the kindness but futility of the Ichinoses in the past and so became their crest but maybe the Sakura flower, which also has connotations about fragility but at the same time represents time of renewal, may indicate that this time the Ichinose clan (or what remains of it) will be able to finally break their chains in this era.
I hope you liked my theory! :3 I swear I only began with researching only about Mitsuba, but then somehow I made a theory about the Sangūs, and then somehow I ended up with a theory about the Ichinoses, which lead me to the topic of Guren’s crest. What a chain of events😅
P.S. My GureShin heart is suffering right now guys🤧

Tenipuri Party: Fuji Shuusuke profile translation
TN:
In the absence of an official English version, this translation is intended to help those who can’t read the material in the original language. Please support Tenipuri by getting your own copy of this book - it is worth it! There are various ways of purchasing it even for those not living in or visiting Japan.
The pictures I have included in this post do not show full pages.
On the translation: I’m aiming for a more direct, “Japanese-sounding” translation to share the mood of the content more as it is. This will probably cause some sentences to appear weird in English.
On Fuji’s style of speech: he uses a lot of little additions that soften the tone, and most of them are pretty hard to include in English. In general his style of speech is a balance of casual but polite.
I’m still working on Japanese, so there might be mistakes. Please let me know if you spot any translation errors so I can fix them here!

Scenes
For Fuji-senshu, who had specialised in counter tennis, a certain incident at the U-17 camp became an impetus for an awakening. (*4) Making the Critical wind ‘Aoi fubuki’ his new weapon, he changed his style greatly into offensive tennis.
(Quotes on pictures:) “Tensai Fuji Shuusuke.” “Now, shall we go one more time…” “Was there this kind of an tensai sleeping in Seigaku?” “This team reaching the nationals championship, that’s my wish!” “Game and set… won by Fuji Shuusuke…” “Critical wind ‘Aoi fubuki’” “One of the Critical winds, ‘Hikari kaze’” “I’ve already stopped playing just defensive tennis.”
Sparked by a certain oath, I began to aim for my own guidepost
Currently, both among fans and people involved, Fuji-senshu’s change to offensive tennis has become a topic of discussion. Was there some impetus for this?
An impetus? Well… I exchanged private oaths with a certain person - is all I think I’ll say here. Fufu.
An oath...? Please give us at least a hint!
Well, just a little, then… Before, I used to draw out the opponent’s strongest skills, felt the thrill of defeating them with a counter, and enjoyed myself like that. But in the end, that depended on the opponent. The guideposts you need to traverse on mountains, you have to find by yourself - that is what I understood.
About Fuji-senshu’s new technique, “Hikari kaze”. How are you able to react like that?
By ascertaining the opponent’s muscle movements and breathing, the moment that information is intracerebrally linked as an image, it’s as if time stops and all noises and the scenery of your surroundings disappear - only the trajectory of the shot the opponent has hit emerges as an signpost of light. So, from now on too, I will follow the guidepost I’ve found by myself, and am aiming to go beyond my limits.
Then, to finish, your objective from here on out is… eh, you already talked about that just now, didn't you?
Yes. I determined the next question before it was asked, and responded to it.
As expected of the prodigy Fuji. You got me there.

What I most want to photograph now is Australia’s starry night sky
During the camp and on off days, what do you do for a change of pace?
I guess the main one would be taking pictures. Especially on an overseas trip like this, taking a lot of pictures of sights I don’t usually see arouses my creativity.
Since coming to Australia, what kind of pictures have you taken?
When you go a bit outwards, there’s a desert, so I’ve taken a lot of pictures of cacti. But though you may say “cacti” in one word, there are tall ones, types that have a form that is round like a tennis ball, and so on - there are many different kinds. Besides that, I took pictures of koalas. Tanegashima-san recommended a good place to me… I could even hold them in my arms, so I had fun. What I’m thinking I most want to photograph next is the starry sky. Since it’s the Southern hemisphere, the scenery of the night sky totally differs from the sky in Japan. The Southern Cross, or capturing the Milky Way - I’d really like to take such pictures.
Do you show the pictures you take to someone?
I often send them to family and friends. I sent a lot of pictures of the koalas to my brother Yuuta, fufufu. It seems my sister likes cacti of weird shapes.
I think the fans also really want to see Fuji-san’s pictures.
I brought many with me today, so sure. I’d be happy if people would like them.
Photo
In Australia When I find the time within the U-17 tournament, I take pictures little by little. Don’t you think this koala looks like Yuuta?
Cacti We often go for walks together. Even if it’s a familiar scenery, it becomes fun when cacti are around. 
Family trip A camera is a magical tool that can cut out a scene that will not happen again. I can’t miss doing that when I’m traveling.
Tumblr media
Fashion
Fuji really likes knits! Are you wearing the hat with ears that I gave you? (Kikumaru)
I’m not that interested, but protection against cold is important. It’s good to warm your body properly with a stole. (Ochi)
“I guess I wear a lot of clothes in white or beige. Especially in winter, I choose clothes that don’t clash with the snowy scenery.”
“After all, the feel when wearing something is important. Clothes with natural, smooth feeling materials are to my liking.”
Before, he used to wear things like shorts a lot, but it seems that’s not the case anymore. (Saeki)
Room
I’m aiming for a room with a Nordic taste Since around autumn, when I’ve had the time I’ve been changing the design little by little. I found an antique lamp, and I think I want to establish unity by using Nordic furniture. Next to my cacti, plants I got from Yukimura and Shiraishi have joined the group.
TN:
*1 Or “respond to those feelings.”
*2 Furigana says “closed eye”, but the kanji is actually for “kokoro no hitomi”, mind’s eye.
*3 "Shigeki": stimulus, impetus, incentive, encouragement, motivation, provocation, excitement, thrill.
*4 Literally enlightenment, spiritual awakening, opening one’s eyes to the truth.
*5 It’s not clear whether he is talking about himself, and I haven’t read the overall story yet, so this is my assumption.

🎾 Reaching Out (Tenipuri) #1: The Twins
Tumblr media
Genre: Friendship, Family, Comedy, Fluff ☁
Word Count: 1,887 ☁
Pairing: OC x ?? ☁
World: Prince of Tennis ☁
Author’s Note: This was written a long time ago and remains as one of my favorite pieces to date. I don’t know if I’ll be completing this series, but I’m still proud of it and want to post what I’ve already written.
━━━━━━༻🌧️༺━━━━━━
Rojo Kira followed the pathway toward the tennis courts in Rikkai Daigaku Fuzoku, the ponk of the balls growing louder with every step she took. School had ended a while ago, leaving only the after school clubs behind. More specifically, the famed tennis club that the junior high students seemed to go nuts over. The high school division had a tennis team, as well, but they didn’t have as much fame as the middle schoolers’ team got. The reason for that was simple. While the middle school did have other sports, tennis was their main one. It was a big deal though, with all the trophies they’ve won, I guess you could see why.
The high school, however, offered more sports, evenly spreading out the student body to cheer for each one equally; not one was more important than the other. Kira wasn’t too sure why it worked out that way, but she summed it up to the fact that high schoolers are more angsty, and need more choices at outlets they can use to vent their frustrations. Middle school was difficult, but nothing compared to high school. It made Kira glad that this was her last year.
One thing Kira had noticed about the fans at Rikkai, was that they were not at all as crazy as everyone believed. Sure, there were a few delusional nut jobs that believed they could win the love of their beloved regular-sama, but most of the kids who cheered and supported Rikkai were doing it because they loved the team and wanted them to win. At Rikkaidai, it was all about rising together as one to annihilate the enemy. It was as simple as that.
Still, Kira thought it a bit stupid to give the regulars so much popularity just because, well, they were regulars. It’s completely pointless, but her opinion didn’t really matter in this case. She did not attend school with them so she couldn’t voice what she thought. And she thanked Kami-sama that she would never have to share a school with them because when they graduate to high school, she’ll be graduating to life.
Kira’s eyes scanned the crowd around and on the tennis courts, searching for a mess of fire-engine red hair that belonged to her younger brother, who was in his second year of middle school. He often stayed behind after school to watch tennis practice, even though he wasn’t part of the team OR the cheering squad. He simply enjoyed watching it. That’s not to say that he didn’t play, but it was on a more hobby basis; it was something he did when he was bored or needed something to pass the time. Really, the Rojo family wasn’t a very sporty family. They loved to watch, but playing one was just too much effort that could be spent sleeping or just lazing around. At least, that’s how the Rojo children are. They can’t be bothered to do anything unless they want to or are ultimately forced into it.
Kira walked up behind her brother, who stood at four ten, and set a hand on his hair, which had recently been dyed. The boy was originally a blonde, but because he wanted to try something different, he somehow managed to convince his mother to let him dye it when he started his second year. Finally, she caved and gave in to his begging – probably just to get him to shut up. It stood out glaringly against his personality. But he had been set on the idea of going with red since the day his big sister came home with blood-red highlights.
Rojo Kaizen looked up at his big sister, his usual bored-calm expression in place. “You’re early, sis.”
“Did you forget? We have to go pick up Kaoru since Ryuuka can’t do it.” She ruffled his already messy hair lightly. “You said you wanted to visit Seigaku again, right? If not, you can walk home with one of the regulars. You said before a couple of them live near us, right?”
“Kirihara-kun does. And I don’t think Sanada-san is too far away, either. But yes, I would like to visit Seigaku. I want to see Eiji-kun again.”
Kira didn’t want to imagine how bouncy and loud the cat-like third year would be when he saw that Kaizen’s hair was about the same shade as his own. She pushed the image away from her mind as she readjusted her bag on her shoulder, leading her brother to the gates. Ryuuka-san, Kira’s stepmother and the twins’ birth mother, was usually the one who went and picked up Kaizen’s twin, who attended Seishun Gakuen in Tokyo, but since she was busy, it was Kira’s job to get him instead. It had been a while since the two had visited Seigaku, so it was questionable how the regulars would react to the pair. Maybe they could slip in and out without being noticed? The pessimistic side of her brain told her not to count on it.
About fifty-five minutes or so later, the pair found themselves entering Seigaku’s gate. No student was in sight, but the sound of tennis balls being hit told them what direction to go in. Like his younger twin, Kaoru liked to watch tennis matches, but he wasn’t on the team himself. He had been asked several times by Seigaku’s team, but he declined each time. He had his sights set on the baseball club, but he had yet to make an effort to join. The twins were a lot alike, especially in looks – the only way you can tell them apart now is by the color of their hair-, and their personalities only differ slightly.
Kaizen was… well, bland for lack of a better word. He always bore the same bored-calm expression, never changing it no matter what situation he was in. He drawled when he talked, always taking on a bored tone. His voice stayed the same pitch, no matter what the situation – the only exception to that is when he’s crying, which isn’t very often. His hair, now an almost blinding red, was short, but his bangs were long, often hanging in his liquid silver eyes, which he had inherited from his mother. Because of this, he often keeps them pinned to the side and out of the way with bobby pins.
Kaoru was quiet. While he often shared the same expression as his brother, it did change. He wasn’t as rude as his younger twin, and was very kind to other people, especially where their feelings were concerned. He was more social, as well, and people seemed to be attracted to him like magnets, even though he doesn’t go out of his way to make bonds with people. He’s a lot more responsible and mature, though he tends to take on too much, and never can stand up and say it for worry that he’ll let someone down. His hair was still the same blonde color that he had been born with, the same length as his brothers, but parted to the side instead of pinned back.
Rojo Kaoru’s eyes shifted to the pair when they approached and he stood up, slinging his bag over his shoulder with a small smile. “Hello, bro, sis.”
“How was school?” Kira asked softly, pushing away a few strands of hair that had fallen out of place. Kaoru was also the weaker of the twins, despite being older. He got sick easily and spent most of his childhood in and out of the hospital. She believed that was the reason behind Kaizen’s distant nature; he had been really scared that he was going to lose his brother.
“It was good. Ryoma-kun nearly got trampled today by fangirls, but thanks to Momo-chan’s quick reflexes, and Inui-senpai’s threats, the fan club retreated back to their respective classes.”
“You’ve never taken anything from that guy, have you?” Kaizen questioned blankly, his bored gaze set on the elder twin.
He quickly shook his head, causing more strands of his blonde hair to cover his eyes, which he brushed away before speaking. “Iie. Oishi-senpai and Tezuka-buchou forbade Inui-senpai from offering his juice to anyone outside the tennis club.”
“I still don’t trust him. You should have a talk with him, Kira-nee-chan.”
“I agree.”
Kaoru’s cheeks tinted pink at the overprotective nature of his siblings, but he couldn’t help the smile that broke onto his lips. “You don’t have to worry, I’ll be fine, really.”
The pair exchanged a look, but before they could say anything else, a loud ‘Hoi! Look, Echizen!’ caught their attention before Kaizen was engulfed by a red blur. He now lay sprawled on the ground with Kikumaru on top of him, arms tight around his neck and cheek rubbing against his own. “Long time no see, Zen-chan!”
“You’re heavy,” he managed out in a bored voice, despite the fact that the wind had been knocked out of him.
“Eiji!” Oishi came rushing over, a panicked look on his face as he ushered the third year off. “Are you okay, Kaizen-kun?”
The red-head nodded, accepting the offered hand.
“You don’t do that to Kaoru too, do you?” Kira questioned, glancing at the boy beside her who had paused in dusting his uniform off. He wanted to know the answer, as well.
“He tries,” Oishi shook his head with a sigh, one hand on his hip. He really was the mother hen of the team. “But Kaoru-kun’s reflexes are pretty impressive. He usually misses and lands on Echizen…”
The elder Rojo locked eyes with the blonde as if to confirm the tale and he promptly nodded, letting her know that it was okay. Even though Kaoru had been with these guys for a year already, she wasn’t ready to trust them just yet, not with her fragile baby brother. And she knew Kaizen felt the same way.
Kikumaru edged his way closer to the blonde, poking his side with a wide grin.
Kaoru took the hint and turned to his big sister, his hands twisting the strap of his bag, a sure sign that he was nervous. “Um… nee-chan?”
“Hmm?”
“Well, Seigaku has a tournament coming up – ”
“The regional tournament!” Momo added in, excitedly.
“ – And I was wondering if, maybe, I could go?”
Kira and Kaizen exchanged another look. “When is it?”
“In a couple of days,” Oishi responded, offering them a small smile. “If you agree, we promise to look after your brother.”
“What do you think?” Kira asked the red-headed twin, who simply shrugged in reply.
“Your call.”
Kira adapted a blank look as she surveyed the blonde. She could tell with one look that he really wanted to go, but he wouldn’t argue if she told him no – that was Kaizen’s job, not his. “Alright. But we’ll be going, as well.”
“Thank you, nee-chan!” Kaoru smiled greatly, wrapping his thin arms around her waist. She returned the hug, patting the top of his head.
“Well, if you’ll excuse us. Ryuuka-san is probably waiting for us by now.” Kira nodded to the group before turning and heading toward the entrance – or in this case, the exit. Kaizen said nothing, turning around to follow the older Rojo, while Kaoru bid his goodbyes before running after the pair.

23.5 Let’s walk through the representatives town p. 213-222
Probably the longest translation I posted, these are 9 pages worth of information on the town itself! Please enjoy this extra (useless) information!
My translations can all be found here.
p. 213
U17 Wcup Let's walk through the representatives town
The representatives live here! Let's meet the representatives!
What is the representatives town? It is a division where the participants from the Wcup live. Of course there are lodging facilities, but it's also enriched by shops and various facilities.
Byoudoin: The representatives town is really spacious. Volk: You can see a lot of potential. (TL note: Filled with future = Potential)
A "Let's walk through the representatives town" special project only! Model course: Let's patrol the popular spots! Can we meet the representatives!? The facilities inside the town: Let's fully support the players daily life! Representatives town Full MAP: Get an entire view of the town in one glance! And lastly, a guide to souvenirs and spots in the area~
p. 214-215
Representatives town Full MAP:  Get an entire view of the town in one glance! To understand this map completely, let's check it for places you want to go to!
Abundant with international players, it's a lively town In the representatives town, a lot of players from all over the world have gathered. For that sake, the plot of land is in any case extensive, and seems like one big town.  It's only natural that the players can prepare for a match, and it's possible for each nation's players to do cultural exchanges.
(Pointing at France's castle and the house next to it) Each nation's boarding house The representatives and the staff stay at an exclusive use boarding house , prepared to feel as their country. The sitepoints and buildings capitalises each nation's characteristic, where they can rest both their mind and body. Amadeus: The extravagance is awkward, but the atmosphere is serene and comfortable. It's pleasing. Camus: Tres bièn! It's a beautiful hotel that is suited to foster both tennis and love.
(Pointing at the Japanese building in the bottom right) The Japanese representatives' boarding house The hotel of the Japanese is relatively close to the entrance. The representatives, supervisors, coaches and the cheering party of course all stay there. Both the exterior and interior were refined to make for a stylish appearance, and it seems to be comfortable and have a feel at home atmosphere. Ikuto: It seems they gathered the latest equipment inside the hotel. It's very pleasant. (Pic: JP MSERS lounging in the rooms) The interior is large, and it's possible to hold a strategic meeting in each private room. The soft beds provide outstanding sleep comfort.
(Pointing at a park in the north) Park It's a park for the players to relax and refresh, and to open the mind. The fountain is in the middle and the trees overflow with flowers in this season, and you can refresh your mind and body from the exhaustion of the fierce battles. It's a quiet place where you can slowly pass time. Yukimura: The flower beds bloom with unusual Australian flowers, it's an interesting place.
(Pointing to the tall building in the middle) Shared facilities There are restaurants, shops, gyms and recreational facitlities, which all countries share in this huge facility. It's placed in the midst of the town and visible to each countries hotel. It's the main spot that's always bustling and fun. Fitzgerald: There's a shop with Australian goods, I definitely want to go once.
(Pointing to a gate) Entrance gate Because buses have to pass through, the gate is enormous. To enter the town, one must undergo a strict check. Futhermore, the security of the bulky fence serves to protect the representatives and their livelihood from anything. Mukahi: It's a really strong wall…! As expected, it's so tall I can't jump over it!
p. 216
The facilities that enrichen the town: Let's fully support the players daily life! Let's go over all the facilities one can use in detail.
At a time like this… When you want to rest comfortably => Go to the boarding house When you want to eat something => Go to the main dining hall When you want to buy something => Go to the shopping mall When you want to train your body => Go to the training center
It is a pleasure to offer all the necessities of life, every day! Various facilities are present on the huge site, like hotels and shops, as they are vital to a comfortable livelihood. Those who stay in the town can use anything, and definitely do.
Each countries facilities: Boarding house The boarding house is the center of living one's life, and can be considered like a home. One can properly rest their body, so they can show of their power as much as they want during a match.
A concealed guide The room distribution of the players was decided by the coaches and supervisors. We decided to ask about the situation for every room from the coaches.
(Pic: Layout for the rooms) This is the floor plan of the guest rooms. Each room can hold about 1-3 people, and room 1 seems to be specialized. Room 10-13 have the same construction. EV=Elevator, Stairs
1201: Kurobe 1202: Saitou 1203: Tsuge 1301: Mifune
1101: Byoudoin He gets a lot of visitors. It's only natural that a strong man gets a spacious room! (Mifune) 1102: Duke, Oni Having compatibility between power players is good. They can do indoor training together. (Tsuge) 1103: Irie, Tokugawa Their bonds are deep. Because they can talk a lot, they can deepen their solidarity (Kurobe) 1104: Tanegashima, Tohno Since Tanegashima can control Tohno well, there are no problems. (Saito) 1105: Mouri, Ochi Mouri, you're the only 1st year hser. You should have better roomed with someone who understands your spirit. (Kurobe) 1106: Ohmagari, Nakagauchi The yakuza and the chivalrous spirit? If they come together as companions, they can raise eachother up even higher! Forward! (Mifune) 1107: Kimijima The manager said "we want to protect the trainers privacy" (Tsuge) 1108: Hakamada, Date They're overflowing with manliness huh? If you enter the room, the hot air seems to be a difficult point… (Saito) 1109: Mitsuya, Kaji Kaji, your information seemed to surprise even Mitsuya. You guys might become a good pair. (Saito) - 1003: Sanada, Tooyama Cap, you look like a good babysitter of the monkey! If there are any problems, it's joint responsibility! (Mifune) 1005: Marui, Kirihara, Sengoku Since we substituted Akutsu with Sengoku it's always a bustling room. (Saito) 1007: Fuji, Ishida (Gin), Oshitari (Yuushi) Fuji is suited to talking with power players (they can talk well). It seems fun when Oshitari joins in as well. (Tsuge) 1001: Atobe, Yukimura Since their room is large and has seperate bedrooms, each person  can spend their time freely. (Kurobe) 1002: Oishi, Echizen The egg being alone in a room was just right. I'm leaving the babysitting of the brat to you! (Mifune) 1004: Shiraishi, Inui Sometimes you can hear deep and serious talks coming from this room, about dangerous topics like poisonous plants and juice… (Tsuge) 1006: Kite, Niou, Yanagi There are signs of sinister conspiracies…but since Yanagi is there it's fine…is not what I would say. (Kurobe)
p. 217
Shared facilities: Main dining hall For the sake of eating, there's a huge restaurant. Because there are a lot of players from all over the world, the cuisine from the various countries is lined up there.
There are plenty of seats, so during mealtime everyone can sit spaciously. It's styled after the vikings. Since it's open for 24-hours, you can eat at any time.
Menu examples: Aussie beef steak Pastichio Beijing duck Paella Hamburger Foie gras saute Schnitzel Pirozhki
Peter: I'm happy there are even things like chèvre cheese. The real thing is really good.
At various places, there are cafes and speciality stores side by side! There's not only the main dining hall, but throughout the town you can find shops selling food and drinks . One can enjoy meals like fastfood, coffee shops, italian and udon shops depending on the mood. Don't overlook the sweets shop with limited items you can't buy anywhere else.
Let's walk through the representatives town special coupon! Joint establishment with the park cafe (Kangaroo) Get one free coffee!
A concealed guide For the supervisors and the coaches, there's also a bar! The top floor of the building can only be accessed by adults.  Viewing the nightscape, there's a chic bar where one can enjoy various alcoholic drinks from all over the world. There are also wines difficult to get in Japan. Kaji: By the way… I saw coach Kurobe returning to his room drunk.
The dining hall quickly empties n the afternoon! If you want to sit in your favorite seat, we recommend you come after lunchtime has finished, around 14-15. Around that time, a lot of players go practice, and because it's relatively vacant, it's easy to pick a seat. Evangelos: Because I hate crowds, it's hard to find a time to have lunch.
p. 218
Shared facilities: Shopping Mall There are various shops and recreational facilities in this giant mall. You can get most items if you go there.
Tennis supplies, livingware, general goods and brand goods are all present. There is also a lounge for all the representatives to gather, so they can enjoy cultural exchanges with the foreign players.
Shopping center examples: Apparel shop Accessory shop Sports goods Hairsalon Bookstore Movie theatre Bowling alley Lounge Event plaza
Mitsuya: I took a look at the optician. This is an opportunity to change frames.
Relax at the playhouse and movie theatre! There aren't only shops to buy goods, it's also enhanced by facilities to have fun. Especially at the playhouse you can go to the theatre with opera, kabuki and things like that as the programme changes each day.
A concealed guide A hit on SNS is the fountain in the plaza! In the center of the mall is a fountain, with specialized lights that change color at certain times. By taking wonderful and beautiful pictures, you can boast to everyone. Zaizen: It got a lot of likes on my blog…the senpais are a nuisance though. (TL note: I'm assuming the senpais are in the picture as well)
The game center is a popular spot! The latest arcade has the maniac models lined up in a row in the game center of course. Regardless of nationality, it's crowded with players who love games. With fighting games, you can see the players being ecstatic. Tanegashima: The gun shooting is really fun! I got the new record~
p. 219
Shared facilities: Training center It's a facility meant for training the body. It's crucial to coordinate the condition during the tournament.
Other than tennis courts that can be used at any time, one can also use the latest machines and pools for a synthetic practice. It's also equipped with spaces for kendo and judo.
Facility examples: Inside tennis court Outside tennis court Various fitness machines Pool Martial arts dojo Information center Self training room Massage room Baths
QP: It seems you can rent the latest released tablet.
The information center's latest system can be used! For the sake of the intelligent players, personal computers are present. The pros use them as well because of their high performance system and it is possible to carry out information gathering and data analysis.
A concealed guide Wash the sweat away in the spa after training! In the large public bath of the natural spa, there's a sauna and a stone sauna. After you have washed the sweat away with all your strength we recommend you scrub off all the grime in the scrubbing corner. Randy: Okay, let's show my biceps! Don't you think nudity suits me?
You can also attend an aerobics class! In the center, there's a studio, where you can attend yoga, aerobics and various others classes when needed.  It's okay if you're a beginner, and it's good to challenge actions you've never done before…? Hirakoba: I thought I always wanted to try something out of genre.
p. 220
Model course: If you want to tour a town, how about a plan which shows the highlights?
Start! Entry gate Oliver: Welcome
Who dominates the Australian beach!? Let's first go to the beach. Atobe appeared at the coast after the exhibition match, which is surrounded by a beautiful beach, where the players who love the sea gather. The swimming matches are a must-see. Kite: Fufu… You might meet these players here: Kurobane, Leon, Kiko
The park is the universe healing spot for all the players! It's recommended to take a break in the verdant park. You can see nature-loving players stroll at ease, and you might also see them having a friendly chat. At the joint cafe, you can see many sweet lovers. Shiraishi: There are no poisonous plants huh. You might meet these players here: Mouri, Noah, Henri
The secrets to walking in the representatives town
Travel easily with the circulation bus! Because the town is spacious, touring it by foot is harsh. Because the bus finishes a round on the premises in 10 minutes, the players can definitely use it and carpool.
If you're in trouble, contact the staff! Ralph: I found a lost child, so I called the broadcast. Tooyama: I'm not a lost child!
p. 221
Let's patrol the popular spots! Can we meet the representatives!?
The foreigners are really interested in this!? The Japanese restaurant If you're hungry, you can go to the cafes or speciality shops everywhere. The Japanese restaurant that serves sushi, tempura and sukiyaki is not only popular under the Japanese but also with the foreign players. Chloe: Is there also onigiri? You might meet these players here: Echizen, Osval, Volk
Jumping is okay! The live stage The shopping mall has a stage outfitted with acoustic and illumination devices. Those who like music and live for singing, you might be able to see a performance of them? J.J: That's not bad You might meet these players here: Ryoga, Ohmagari, Hallhatter
Goal: Japanese boarding house Oni: Did you have fun?
Event information
In the main dining hall, each nation holds a cultural exchange meeting. The players from around the world and their cheering parties gather here, and they deepen the understanding of their cultures by conversations. While eating various nation's specialities, let's pass a fun time! Zeus: Oh, isn't this social gathering nice. I will also offer to participate.
Let's go to the mini zoo in the event plaza! Inside the mall, there will be a mobile zoo for a limited time. You can meet lions, elephants and giraffes! The animal-lovers gather there! Ochi: I'm not really interested…It was arranged for me to be at that place at that time.
p. 222
The representatives' souvenirs: Get original goods! Let's introduce a careful selection of popular goods that you can get at the shop!
A venue restricted plush It's a limited product to celebrate the opening of the U17Wcup. The koala hugging a racket is an Australian masterpiece. It's also very big. Echizen: I'm not really interested, but it was bought by that big guy.
Original Keyholder The logo decorating the ball carries a simple design. It seems to be a standard and popular souvenir, as many have already bought it. Duke: It's kind of cute huh? I'll buy one for Chloe.
Australian confectionery: Chocolate biscuit It's an australian sweet where two biscuits sandwich chocolate with a chocolate coating. The package is tournament limited. Milky: The crispy feel makes for a pretty good flavor! I reccomend it! If you come over, I definitely want you to eat it!
Let's stretch our feet for a bit: Recommended spots in the town's vicinity There are plenty of fun spots scattered outside the town. Will you also take a look at the Australia's famous tourism?
Melborn zoo It is Australia's oldest zoo in history. You can meet endemic species like koalas, kangaroos and platypi. Kabaji: Seeing…the kangaroos…close by…was really nice. I…want…to….see them…again.
Queen Victoria Market Crowded with people, it's a lively, historic and gigantic market. You can find things like fresh ingredients, clothes, general goods and souvenirs. Niou: Huh…I can use a lot of these things…puri.
Royal exhibition building Together with the Carlton gardens, these buildings are registered as world heritage sites. Multiple styles blend to make a beautiful and tasteful building. Prince Ludovic: It's a building befitting of a prince! I want to go there accompanied by that girl!

Recently, I’ve gone back to a fandom that I have not been in for a long time. I only got back into it when they released a rhythm game--which I am a sucker for, especially when it concerns character songs. 
Yep. I just got back to the Prince of Tennis fandom. Again. The last time was two years ago when I was filling a void in me due to a lack of sports anime that did not catch my interest after Haikyuu and Yuri on Ice. 
And now? Since creating AUs is my life, this fandom was not safe from my thoughts. 
And then, this little prototype was born: an AU where Ryoma is their assistant coach and a twenty-one year old in a fifteen year-old body. 
You can also thank Onegai Sensei for this. XD
Title: Life’s Many Meddlings Fandom: The Prince of Tennis Category: Alternate Universe, Sci-Fi, Sports Ship: Initial plan is majorly Pillar Pair but very slow burn because, really, it’s them.  Summary:  Echizen Ryoma is 21, but with the body of a fifteen year-old. After an incident that brought him on the brink of death, he was diagnosed with a rare disease and had woken up four years later, but two years since his awakening, he still has the body of a fifteen year-old, but with the skills of a top professional athlete. Giving up his old dream as a professional, he now set his eyes in training other hopefuls as a coach.
Flash forward to the present, Ryuzaki Sumire, a former coach of his dad, asked him to be the assistant coach of her Seigaku Tennis Club to lighten her workload. Ryoma accepts while deciding to continue his education as a Japanese teenager and hiding his true age just to get by. 
Chapter 1
Ryoma didn’t really remember why he had agreed to Ryuzaki-sensei’s offer of a post as an assistant coach for her tennis club. It was convenient, she explained, since she had seen his progress as a tennis player all his life under the tutelage of his father, the legendary (pervert) Samurai Nanjiroh, and the fact that Ryoma finds more meaning in coaching rather than playing.
The agreement was he would accept the position at least until nationals—if he manages to bring her team there (for some reason being thrown a challenge was a major reason). Ryoma’s mother added another in the mix: for him to continue on as a fifteen year-old student with no one knowing of his true age while he was there. There was no age restrictions when it comes to education, add to that, his mother simply refused to pass the opportunity for him to return to school after six years of not going, with the last two of those years was spent just running around the world participating in tours and camps as part of the coaching staff.
His German doctor forbade him from doing extensive tennis, as he was still in the process of rehabilitation and medication for him to repair his growth until he reaches the appropriate height and weight of a man in his twenties. He would not be as tall as the others, but it was a step forward for Ryoma to at least gain a semblance of normalcy in his life after that event.
Which was why he asked the coach to keep his origins a secret for a while, unless it was inevitable that Ryoma tell the team himself about his medical condition.
As he arrived at the gates of Seishun Gakuen Junior High Division, he decided it wasn’t really that bad for him to act like his body age (for now). But the fact remains that he was entering as a senior and would probably be the shortest of them. His height as a fifteen year-old was nothing to brag about, to be honest. Ryoma was only 159 cm, as his 180 cm seventeen year-old little brother loved to point out from time to time.
Maybe it was because he was the new guy at school that he had to be the subject of the stares. Either way, he made his way to the faculty room where he was to meet his godmother, Ryuzaki Sumire.
“Oh, Ryoma, I see you’ve arrived safely.” Ryuzaki greeted when he saw Ryoma looking around the faculty for her.
“Good morning Ryuzaki-sensei,” Ryoma addressed formally, which the woman liked about him. She was glad that he didn’t turn out like his father though, and that was a plus in itself. It would save her the headache from hitting the boy upside the head if he ever gets the idea of skirt-chasing like Nanjiroh did in his younger days. “Morning practice is underway right now?” he asked.
Ryuzaki nodded in return. “I’ll introduce you to the team members for afternoon practice, though I do predict that some will challenge you because of your height and supposed age.”
“I’ll tell them this year’s setup off the bat if I have to, but for now, I think I’ll settle it with tennis so that I can shut them up immediately.” He replied off-handedly. “Can I observe them before classes though?”
“You have an hour before first period starts, so feel free.”
“Thank you.” Ryoma replied as he turned to leave.
“Oh, and Ryoma?” Ryuzaki called, “I’m glad you’re okay.”
Ryoma turned to give his godmother one of his rare smiles, “I’m glad too.” He said before he left.
Ryuzaki-sensei smiled to herself as she looked back at the photo on her desk that was dated twenty years ago, when she had first held her godchild.
When she had heard the news six years ago from an inconsolable Nanjiroh and a frantic Rinko about what happened to Ryoma, it took all of her strength not to book the next flight to Florida just so she could be with her godchild. It only took a few assurances that indeed, they were going to do something about it, and yes, they would be pressing charges after what happened to their son.
Unfortunately, Ryoma has had complications regarding his bodily state, but that was nothing compared to the emotional turmoil that the young man had gone through the moment reality hit him when he had awoken two years ago.
She just hopes that Ryoma coming to Japan to start a new life with only his family in the know about his current condition would make him better.
Most of them are weak. Ryoma could tell that much from observing their practice, but it was nothing that he could not fix with a little tweaking for training menus. His father had been associated with a lot of tennis players and coaches throughout the years, so it would not be unfair for him to impart the victims—ah—members the training menu that was right for them. After all, if you’ve met the German team, you’d want their training menu too.
In his journey to the top, he went professional at fourteen, after his father had deemed him trained enough to go professional at such a young age. He was heralded as the Prince of Tennis in the pro-circuit. He was almost on his way to the top until…
His hand clutched the strap of his bag as the memory resurfaced. They were the reason why he was currently in such a state, why, after all the sacrifices that he has made in the course of his whole life fell into nothingness.
The only thing that kept him from going into insanity was the words of his mother.
“Make the most of this new life for yourself. You’ll never know what happens if you don’t take this chance.”
The words of his mother rang true, as he decided upon himself to go for this chance at a new lease of life, for him to start anew, even if it was under the circumstance that brought him and his family immense pain. No matter what, he would make the most of this brand new life.
Just as he suspected, the students in Class 3-1 were looking at him as if he was a new human species for public viewing when he was introduced to the calss. He was warned about this, but Ryoma found it better to just shrug it off and just continue on with his day like normal. It would do no good if he would entertain them. That would only encourage them to annoy you as much as they want.
Thankfully, the adviser came as his rescue and had started homeroom. Ryoma didn’t anticipate that on the first day, he would be subjected to a lottery seat where he has no control over where he liked to sit in class. He was fortunate that he got the window seat and on his right was a student that was named Tezuka, if his memory served him right. He was the quiet sort and kept to himself, which was fine with him. Silence was something he valued after all.
Then, there was what he dreaded. Lunch period was the way for girls to get the information they want from him. Surprisingly, the one who approached him first was his seatmate. “Echizen-san,” he called him, “I’m Tezuka Kunimitsu.”
Ryoma bowed in return, “Nice to meet you.”
Tezuka handed him a folder, “I’m sorry about the inconvenience, but the homeroom teacher asked me to hand you these documents.”
“Ah, no, it’s no trouble at all.” Ryoma replied. “Are you also the class rep?”
“No. I leave it to my classmates. I have enough work for the Student Council.” Tezuka replied as he sat back down on the desk beside him.
“Too much work as a student, huh?” Ryoma mused.
“That, and tennis practice.”
It was then when Ryoma started to let his childish side come to light, “You play tennis?” he said, his eyes sparkling.
“Yes.” That seemed to catch the attention of the younger teen as well. “I’m a member of the tennis club. If you want, I could show you to the courts tomorrow afternoon. I’m afraid we can’t accommodate new members due to regulars having a practice match with another school.”
“Ah…I don’t want to inconvenience you. I’ll just ask Ryuzaki-sensei after classes,” he blurted out.
Tezuka tilted his head, “You know Ryuzaki-sensei?”
“Family friend.” Ryoma replied.
Before Tezuka could reply, he was called out by his friend. Turning back to Ryoma, Tezuka bid, “I hope I could see you tomorrow during afternoon practice. I must be going now,” he said as he bowed before he followed the teenager with an egg-shaped head.
‘Huh. That was interesting.’ He thought to himself. If the guy was a member of the tennis club, then he would meet him during afternoon practice. This would be fun.
The afternoon practice couldn’t have been quicker for him, as he went straight to Ryuzaki-sensei’s table at the faculty for her to lead him to the tennis club and introduce himself to the members. He was surprised to know that his classmate, Tezuka, was actually the captain of the team. It would make interaction with the team easier if he was in the same class as him, so he had no qualms about the matter. Even the egg-looking teen was the vice-captain, and the two were informed during lunch break that he would be arriving today.
“Nervous?” Ryuzaki-sensei asked him.
Ryoma scoffed, “Not in the least. They should be nervous.” He stated, “After all, I would be assessing them from this point on.”
“Cocky as always,” the woman mused.
“But I have the skills to back it up.” Ryoma returned as they arrived at the courts. “I didn’t see the regulars this morning. Where were they?”
“They will have a practice match with another school today and I told them to take it easy this morning. Don’t worry, they’ll be here tomorrow.” She assured him.
They were about to head to the courts when a student had intercepted them, specifically, Ryuzaki, about a matter of their class with her earlier. Glancing at Ryoma with an apologetic look, she sighed, “Since there’s only free practice today, why don’t you go ahead and ‘introduce’ yourself to some of them? I’ll be back in a moment.”
With a mischievous smile on Ryoma’ face, he agreed and went ahead. Ryuzaki inwardly groaned. She knew that by the time she gets back, he would have traumatized almost everyone in the tennis club.
Of all things, Ryoma hated weak people who try to act strong. They were not just worth the space, to be honest. These types of people bullying weak ones though…it makes him snap.
So when he saw a bunch of sophomores trying to extort money from unsuspecting first years, well, he has had enough.
“Hey, this looks interesting. Mind if I join in?” Ryoma said with the guts that only he could bring out.
A ruffian-looking brown haired teen smirked at him. “You really want to join in? Think you can knock the can on your own?”
Ryoma raised a brow. “You think I can’t? I could put it down even with rocks on it.” He revealed.
The first years that they were messing with looked at their upperclassmen in shock at being tricked. “Eh?! Rocks?” they let out and glared at the two second years.
Now that he had them stunned, Ryoma did what he always do, he took out his racket and hit the ball towards the can squarely with pinpoint accuracy, and out came the rocks that were inside the can. “Anything else to say?” he taunted the two second years.
What he saw in their faces brought delight to Ryoma’s vindictive side as the brown haired guy spoke, “Who are you anyway? I hadn’t seen you as a second year here. You must be a non-member.” He growled. “Why don’t you get out of here and mind your own business?”
Ryoma raised his brow, “Hey, that’s not nice. Just because I’m a non-member? Did you ever think I’m just a passer-by who does not condone extortion bullying? Why don’t you try playing with me and we’ll see if you have the skills to stay in the tennis club, eh?” he dared as he tapped his racket on his shoulder. Well, Ryuzaki did give him permission to cast an ultimatum on the students, but he’s not that heartless to students…except of course, the ones who participates in camps and tours for the advanced students and athletes. But this time, he’ll just make them suffer a bit…differently.
Momoshiro Takeshi was a lot of things, and being a klutz is one of them. And because of this trait, he managed to miss the practice matches of the regulars today because he was nursing a sprain that he had sustained after a reckless move while training with the Snake.
He sighed as he made his way to the clubroom. His class had been let out earlier than planned due to the teacher being caught in something that cannot be missed, and so, an hour earlier than planned, he made his way to the courts, only to see a spectacle that he didn’t expect he’d see in school grounds.
There on the courts was Arai—his year mate and an annoying classmate of his. He might have enough skill to make it as a regular, but that would be for next year when the third years graduate. As of now, he was a non-regular member that might never really make it for this year. He had to do something about his attitude as well, having had a streak of being a bully in his personality.
And on the other side was another student. He was wearing their uniform, and not the mandatory PE uniform, which meant one thing: this guy doesn’t belong in the tennis club roster. What was curious was that he has never seen the guy before, and he has seen all faces of some of his year mates, and he was not one of them. He looked too old to be a freshman…which mean that he might be a transfer student.
Wanting to watch what will happen afterwards, Momoshiro did the logical thing and stayed out of sight as he watched the new guy get six games straight from Arai.
The new guy simply mounted his racket on his shoulder and looked smug at the kneeling Arai in front of him. “You’ve been a member of the tennis club for two years, and you got beaten by a person who’s not dressed for sports in less than six minutes. Anything to say, Arai, is it?” he taunted.
“You…” Arai mumbled.
New guy looked at his crony on the side, “Hey, you, care to try to play with me?” he challenged. “I’m looking for someone who could give me a good game. Don’t just stand there, grab a racket.”
The blue haired teenager grit his teeth. “Fine!” he grumbled as he took the racket from Arai.
Momoshiro wanted to snicker. Finally someone who could give Arai and his gang a proper lecture and put them down a peg or three.
Eight minutes in, Ryoma’s opponent barely got a point from him, and he was sweating buckets. “Is this the strength of the ones who will carry out the mission of winning Nationals for Seigaku come next spring? Because if it is, then I’m not amused.” He taunted. “An elementary school student with enough experience will be enough to pummel you to the ground in three minutes flat, and I know a lot of them.” He inwardly sighed. “I have a lot of things to do then…” he muttered as he went back to the first years, “When you advance to the second year, make sure you won’t end up as upperclassmen bullies just because you’re born a year early, eh?” he advised them.
“Um…” the kid with the bowl cut started, “Thank you so much for saving us from senpai, but…who are you?”
Ryoma tilted his head, remembering that he didn’t bother to introduce himself to the people in the courts. “Ah. I forgot I didn’t introduce myself.” He said absentmindedly.
“Bastard…I’ll have the coach know of this. You’re not even a member!” Arai growled as he caught his breath back, along with his friend.
“True, I’m not a member, but you really should watch your mouth in front of your senpai if you value seniority too much.” Ryoma said as he took out his third year pin that he had conveniently stashed away before he went to the courts. He marveled at the fact that the two second years stiffened when they realized he was older than them. “And as for who I am, well, you’ll have to wait for Ryuzaki-sensei.”
It was then when Momoshiro had decided to step in, “What’s all the fuss about?” Momoshiro called out. “Hey, Arai, don’t go picking on the first years. It’s not a manly thing to do, and it makes you look like a douche.” He stated. “Well, you already are, but no need to show it in broad daylight.”
“Momoshiro…isn’t it convenient that you’re here?” he mocked. “Fine, fraternize with the small fries. I’ll go on ahead.” Arai said as he walked out of the scene, but what Momoshiro could see was a dog running with his tail between his legs. Coward.
Turning back to the first years and the third year, he asked, “Care to fill me in what happened? My name’s Momoshiro Takeshi, a second year, by the way.” He introduced.
“What’s happening is disciplining, which I bet he has already has his fill today.” Ryoma replied as he stashed the racket back in his bag. “He talks big but has barely anything to show for.” He huffed. “I’m Echizen Ryoma, a senior transfer student.” He introduced. “I’ll be going now. See you tomorrow.” Ryoma bid them. But before he could leave, he looked back at Momoshiro, “Oh, and you, take it easy. It would be bad if you aggravate your sprained ankle.” He stated.
The taller teen was taken aback as he looked down on his shoes, wondering if it was too obvious. “How…?”
“I’ve seen my fair share of injuries, so take care.” Ryoma answered before he left the courts for the day, not noticing that almost everyone, even the reporters who were on the site, were staring at him.
Sighing, Momoshiro turned to the three first years that had been victims of Arai, “You three, are you okay?”
“We’re just fine,” the bald first year replied. “Echizen-senpai managed to save our wallets in time though, so we’re grateful.”
Momoshiro looked back at the retreating back of the new senior. “Echizen-senpai, huh? Where have I heard that name before…?” he wondered out loud. He can’t wait to tell his fellow teammates about the new student.
Ryuzaki watched the entire thing from the classroom three floors above, and watched in interest as Ryoma made his impression on some of the members. While she didn’t know what led to the eventual game against Arai, she knew that whatever was said below at the courts was something that will be interesting by tomorrow when the regulars return from their practice matches, and when she drops the bomb that Ryoma will not be their typical club member.
TBC?
Haha, If ever I plan on continuing it, I’m still contemplating on posting this on either Ao3 or FFN. Then again, Ao3 is easier to use for me these days, what with all the taggings and whatnot. 
Hope you liked it~!

Time for some more of @bookwyrmling‘s space au. This was meant to be Ryoma and An hanging out, but then Tezuka appeared haha
Ryoma was irritated, bored and blind.
"Why was I the one shot in the face with the Rikkai Yips Ray?" He complained loudly, hoping someone was around to hear him. He was sure Tachibana had been in the room at some point.
"Yeah yeah," Tachibana sighed as if she had heard this a million times (which, she had). The Yips Ray's effects were not permanent, but did take a couple of weeks to wear off. During which she'd have to put up with Ryoma's endless complaining. Luckily, the science division was very interested in the effects of the ray on Ryoma so all she had to do was dump him on them in the mornings and pick him back in in the evening. Ryoma sighed and flopped onto his side. "Have you seen Ryuzaki recently?" "Of course! She is my girlfriend, you know!" Tachibana replied, her voice perking up at the thought of telling Ryoma every excruciating detail of her dates with Ryuzaki. "Yesterday we played around with my Javelin, she told me how everything worked and she looked of cute! Oh gosh, you should have seen her face all lit up as she explained the flight control systems! Her eyes sparkled and her cheeks were pink and I couldn't stop kissing her, you know-" "If this story is going to end 'and then we have sex in my ship' stop there," Ryoma grumbled. "Why, you not getting any?" "I can't exactly sneak around whilst blind." "No zero-G threesomes for you. Poor Tezuka." The statement hung in the air and the longer Ryoma left it the more suspicious he knew it looked.  "Tezuka?" He asked, hoping he sounded innocent. "Why would I have a threesome with Tezuka?" "Because you love him! When we came back from that jungle planet he was by your bedside during any time he could get off." "He's my friend!" Ryoma snapped. "Of course he is," Tachibana said in a sing-song voice. "You shouldn't sleep with people you're not friends with." Ryoma snorted, "thank you for that incredibly patronising and irrelevant advice." "But you like him, right?" "Well, yeah. He's my friend," Ryoma shrugged, "and if we did ever become anything but friends one of us would be transferred to another ship," he added pointedly. Thankfully, Tachibana took the hint. There was a soft knock at the door and Ryoma turned to it despite not being able to see. "Captain Tezuka!" Tachibana said, far too happily and Ryoma made a note to lecture Tezuka on his timing. "Inui wants to see you, Echizen," Tezuka said. "Okay," Ryoma said, pushing himself up. "Are you going to help me?" "I am," Tezuka agreed. "Come on." He took Ryoma's arms and helped him to his feet. "Bye Tachibana," Ryoma said as Tezuka guided him out the door. "Later," Tachibana said. "Are we really going to see Inui?" Ryoma asked. He'd already spent all day in the lab, he was wondering what was left to test. "No, I just want to see you," Tezuka replied quiet enough so just Ryoma could hear. "You stupid romantic," Ryoma muttered, so glad he was going to spend tonight wrapped in Tezuka's arms rather than being helped into bed and left alone by his friends. Tezuka tugged him closer to avoid something come in the other direction. Once the arrived at Teuzka's room, Ryoma was lead over to the bed and sat down. "How are you feeling?" Tezuka asked kissing Ryoma on the forehead. Ryoma scowled. "Very blind," he replied, grabbing at Tezuka and pulling him in for a proper kiss. "So shut up and look after me." "Demanding," Tezuka chastised him gently, pulling Ryoma's shirt over his head. "Come on," Ryoma said, scooting up the bed till he was resting against the pillows and beckoning to where he was sure Tezuka was. "Good boy," he purred as the bed dipped and Tezuka crawled on top of him. "You shouldn't be saying that to me," Tezuka said, taking one of Ryoma's hands and pressing a kiss to his palm. "I'm your captain." "Well then, Captain," Ryoma said, sighing happily as Tezuka started to kiss down his neck, his lips warm and hair tickling Ryoma's jawline. "It's your duty to make sure this fighter pilot recovers fully." "Making love to you isn’t going to cure you," Tezuka said from Ryoma's collarbone. "It's worth testing out though," Ryoma replied, gasping as Tezuka started sucking at the junction between his neck and shoulder. "If it works we should write a report for Inui." "You can write it," Tezuka said. "But first, you should be quiet and let me look after you." "Yes Captain."
