Chapter 213: Did I Run Into a Ghost

Kamishiro Aki paid no attention.

He simply picked up his racket bag and, carrying the clothes he had bought today, walked past Sanada Genichirou.

He only heard him say,

"That's it for today."

"Our Bingdi Society will meet your Rikkai Dai."

"Of course, that is assuming your Rikkai Dai can hold out until then."

After saying that, he left the baseball field without looking back.

Tomoyo hurried after him.

"Aki! Let me carry your racket bag."

Kamishiro Aki nodded.

Watching the two of them walk away, Sanada Genichirou smiled.

"Kamishiro Aki, if it really was you who defeated Atobe Keigo, I can understand that."

"I just don't know if you have what it takes."

"The championship belongs to our Rikkai Dai!"

Then, he too left the place.

At this moment, Echizen Ryoma seemed as if his soul had left his body.

Kamishiro Aki's words kept echoing in his mind.

"With your current strength, it'll be hard to help Seigaku advance to the Nationals."

He knew his form had slipped a little, but he hadn't expected it to slip to this extent.

Not long ago, he had been crushed by Tezuka Kunimitsu with a lopsided 6:0.

And told him to become Seigaku's pillar.

But in his current state, how could he become Seigaku's pillar!?

That question kept gnawing at him.

So much so that even after Echizen Ryoma got home, he couldn't eat.

After only a few bites, he went off to practice.

Echizen Nanjirou seemed to notice something off about his son, Echizen Ryoma.

So he followed him out to take a look.

At this moment, Echizen Ryoma turned around to look at him.

"Dad, play a match with me."

This caught Echizen Nanjirou a little off guard.

"You brat, did the sun set in the east today?"

"You're actually asking me to play with you."

Seeing this, Echizen Ryoma gave his racket a little flick.

"If you don't want to play, I'm going to bed."

Hearing this, Echizen Nanjirou quickly laughed.
