Tennis Hiatus

[tennis_no_ko]

I...I won't be participating in the first half of the tennis season this year. Maybe longer. I'm sorry Tezuka, it looks like our showdown may have to be delayed for a while yet. And I'm sorry to you Echizen, Kazuya, since I won't be able to have any official rematches with you two either

Sei-nii...If you and Minoru-san need any company, I'll be glad to come visit...

[tennis_no_ko]

Thank you, Yukari-chan. I might ask for that, Minoru will probably get sick of me being around fairly soon. And she doesn't have many friends at school...

[yukarinpop]

I'm more than happy to help.

[kobanemperor]

If you need anything at all Seiichi, even just someone to talk to, please let me know.

[tennis_no_ko]

Yeah...I might come find you when I can't keep smiling. Thanks for being here, Genichirou.

[kobanemperor]

It's no problem. In our souls, we are brothers, are we not?

[tennis_no_ko]

Yes, yes we are. :)

I'm sorry.... I know that won't help. But I still am. I guess I'll miss you as an opponent, but you do what you need to. You got a good reason for it.

So I'm not going to give you crap for quitting right now. You don't need that. I don't know what you need but...crap. I'm no good at this shit. You know what, you need anything, let me know. I'll even let you win a friendly match or something.

[tennis_no_ko]

You'd better not let me win, Echizen. I'd smash you then, and where would your pride be then, hmm? What you can do is win at the main tournaments and make it a challenge for me to reach the top again when I return.

...thanks for the support, though. You'll be around for an informal match every now and then, right? I can't go that long without tennis. I'd go utterly mad. You know what I mean, right?

[madamadapro]

I suppose your pride would be hurt too, if I just up and let you beat me.

Yeah. That. That I can do. Expect to see a lot of my happy smiling face on the winner's platform. I might even invite you over to let you touch the trophies.

That. Yeah. You bet I will. No way in hell I'm going to just let you Go insane without tennis go unchallenged. So, I'll be showing up on your doorstep now and again to make sure you remember I'm better than you.

[tennis_no_ko]

Not really. I'd see it as you being unwilling to try against my own brilliance.

Hmmm, good. And I've got plenty of my own trophies, I'd hardly need yours, little bratling.

I look forward to proving you wrong, then, when you can spare time.

Don't worry about rematches against me, Seiichi. Family is priority now. I sincerely hope your sister will be better. If you need help, don't hesitate to let me know.

[tennis_no_ko]

Thank you, Kazuya. I hope she will be too. And I'll be sure to ask.
