0002 Nanjiro Echizen?! My little brother, Ryuga Echizen?!
Afternoon.
At the entrance of the orphanage.
Sister Aisha stood with a group of children from the orphanage.
She looked out the door, her face showing a hint of nervousness.
Bei Mo and "Little Ghost Spirit" stood not far away.
"Boss, instead of cutting the orphanage's expenses like this, why don't we earn more money to support them?"
Bei Mo glanced at him.
"Stop being presumptuous! Do you know how much the orphanage costs every day?"
"Just the two of us, buying snacks and supplies is no problem! But we can't afford the entire cost of the entire orphanage!"
The latter frowned.
"Ah? Boss! What if the people who come to adopt this time are the same as last time, human traffickers! Wouldn't that be terrible? Besides, having one or two fewer people in the orphanage won't solve the fundamental problem!"
Bei Mo knew that what he said was true.
But.
He didn't say anything else.
The worst case scenario is that we find another way to get money.
However.
Even if he wasn't an ordinary kid, how easy would it be to earn enough money to support an orphanage in a short period of time?
"They're here!!"
"Little guys, stand up straight! Be good! Whether you can have a new life and family depends on your own performance!"
Sister Aisha suddenly turned her head and said softly but urgently.
As soon as the words fell.
They saw, at the entrance of the gate, under the guidance of an old man in his seventies.
An Asian man wearing casual clothes, with a samurai braid tied up, walked into the orphanage with his hands in his pockets.
The old man was naturally the old dean of the orphanage.
Praszo Hammi!
He always had a kind smile when he treated the children in the orphanage.
But Bei Mo couldn't help but stare when he saw the samurai braided man brought by him.
It's him?!
Nanjiro Echizen!!
Bei Mo would never forget this face, having seen him on the world professional league broadcasts!
Wait!
Bei Mo suddenly remembered something!
Nanjiro Echizen retired four years ago after playing his last professional invitational match.
Based on the time frame and the fact that he is here in the orphanage now.
Could it be!!
Is this orphanage the place where Nanjiro Echizen adopted his adopted son, Ryuga Echizen?!
Thinking of this, he subconsciously shifted his gaze to the children in the orphanage.
Ryuga Echizen is Asian!!
But there are no Asians among these kids!!
"Boss, why do I feel like I've seen this guy somewhere?"
"Isn't he that famous professional tennis player? What's his name... Nanjiro Echizen?!"
As "Little Ghost Spirit" scratched his head and spoke.
Bei Mo's eyes narrowed, and he turned his head to look at the other side again.
How could I forget!!
Isn't there an Asian kid right beside me?!
Looking at the faint green color of his hair in the sunlight, and his usual lively personality.
Doesn't this perfectly match Ryuga Echizen's appearance as a child?!
Good heavens...
It turns out!!
My little brother is actually the guy who will reach the absolute pinnacle of talent and strength in tennis in this world!!
For a moment.
Bei Mo's eyes flickered slightly.
And Nanjiro Echizen and Dean Praszo had already met and greeted the children.
The former was quite friendly to the children.
However.
He quickly pulled Dean Praszo aside.
"Dean Praszo, although I contacted you before to adopt a child!"
"These little guys are all good, kind kids!"
"But! I also want to say my request!"
Praszo heard this, waved his hand quickly: "Mr. Nanjiro, it's your right! I'm getting old and careless!"
"After all, you are the one who is giving these little guys a new home!"
Nanjiro Echizen didn't beat around the bush.
"Let's be direct! My idea is very simple!"
"Because I already have a son! He's almost 7 years old! So, I want to adopt a child who is older than him, more mature!"
"It's best if it's a boy, so that the children can communicate better!"
"Of course! If he's Asian, that would be best!"
His request is not considered harsh.
But for Praszo, it almost "eliminated" most of the children in the orphanage.
Except...
"Mr. Nanjiro, maybe only these two little guys meet your requirements!"
"Little Bei Mo, Little Ghost Spirit! Come here!"
Praszo beckoned to Bei Mo and the other two who were standing in the distance, calling out.
Nanjiro Echizen only then noticed that there were two other children not far away.
"This is Mr. Nanjiro, say hello!"
Praszo gave Bei Mo and the other two a wink, reminding them softly.
"Oh, Dean! I know him! Professional tennis player! What's going on? Do you want to adopt me or the Boss?"
"Me and the Boss have a bad temper! Why don't you take a look at Truce and the others?"
Bei Mo saw the future Ryuga Echizen "rejecting" being adopted, and knew what he was thinking.
He seems cynical and carefree.
But he has a deep affection for the orphanage.
He must be thinking that if Nanjiro Echizen adopted him and himself, what would happen to the orphanage's current predicament?!
And Bei Mo also knew.
Simply rejecting is not the best way to help the orphanage.
Since Nanjiro Echizen came to the orphanage to adopt a child this time.
Maybe it's not just my chance to leave, but also the orphanage's chance!!
Nanjiro Echizen looked at the Asian boy in front of him who was very reluctant to be adopted, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Praszo was afraid that he would get angry, so he pulled "Little Ghost Spirit" behind him and wanted to apologize to Nanjiro Echizen.
But before he could open his mouth.
Bei Mo had already spoken first: "Mr. Nanjiro, hello! My name is Bei Mo!"
"Since Dean specially called us over, it means that at least we meet your basic adoption requirements!"
"Do you think I can talk to you alone?"
Nanjiro Echizen looked at Bei Mo playfully.
This little guy who looks under 10 years old, how come he talks like a grown-up.
He immediately smiled, squatted down, and stared at Bei Mo's clear eyes: "Talk alone? Haha, this is the first time a little kid like you has asked me for this!"
"No problem! I also want to hear what you want to talk about!"
Bei Mo nodded slightly, turned around, gave Praszo a look, motioning for him to rest assured, then led Nanjiro Echizen away.
But looking at the two of them leaving, Praszo still showed a worried look.
And beside him, a light-hearted voice rang out.
"Dean! You finally found a guy who looks decent this time! But it's okay if he doesn't want to adopt Truce and the others!"
"It's okay, me and the Boss will help you and Sister Aisha earn money to support the orphanage!"
Praszo patted the other side's head, his eyes flashed with heartache: "I know you and Bei Mo are very sensible! But you're still just kids!"
"Promise me, if Mr. Nanjiro is willing to adopt you! Don't refuse! You must go out! Enjoy a new life!"
The latter saw the heartache in the other's eyes.
He pursed his lips and swallowed the words he wanted to say.
