Chapter 415 [Chapter Guizhang Tezuka Line] 2
"This, this is..." Even Tezuka, who has always been calm, finally couldn't help making a voice of surprise that was hard to see.
Liu Quan smiled slightly and put down his hands.And the silver-white phoenix phantom still hasn't disappeared, and is still dancing around on the observatory.
"...the Patronus Charm."
"Huh?!" Uncle Atobe issued a questioning monosyllabic particle.
Liu Quan looked up at the silver-white phoenix flying elegantly and stretched in mid-air, and he was silent for a moment before explaining: "This spell summons my own patron saint. The patron saint usually appears in the form of some kind of animal. , but the caster himself cannot determine its form..."
"So it's just the image of a phoenix appearing randomly?" Tezuka's voice has recovered calm and steady after a moment of surprise.
Before answering, Liu Quan felt his throat tighten for some reason.
"...No." She was silent for a moment, then replied in a low voice.
"Although it is impossible to determine the shape and type of the patron saint, the caster's own state of mind, personality and...emotions can affect his patron saint. Therefore, some people's patron saint will change after a few years, for example, from a bat Turning into a doe . . . or something."
"A doe? Why do you point out that it's a doe? Is there an important difference?" Tezuka seemed to be seriously thinking about what she said, paying attention to every technical detail - just like he was on the field Same.
Instead, Atobe, who walked a little further away at some point and was standing leaning against the wall, suddenly smiled inexplicably when he heard the words.
"So that's how it is." His melodious voice chanted the simple four syllables, and his bright eyes suddenly turned to Liu Quan's face.
"In the example you gave, the patron saint changed from a bat to a doe, because that person... the person he likes, the patron saint is in the form of a doe, isn't it? Ah huh?"
His voice fell on the silent special observatory, and for a while, no one spoke.
Liu Quan's eyes drifted to the side, and he didn't answer directly. Instead, he was silent for a moment before he said, "...By the way, my patron saint has always been a phoenix."
Atobe seemed to be slightly stagnant, and the smile on his face slowly faded.
... Atobe's EQ seems to be pretty good, so did he understand something from this extremely ordinary sentence?But what's wrong, he didn't hear anything?
Tezuka was thinking like this, and couldn't help turning his eyes to Liuquan Xinya, but was a little surprised to find that she who was also looking up at the phoenix had a subtle-complex expression.
There seemed to be a lot of things contained in that expression, like surprise, but also like a kind of exclamation, with a bit of nostalgia and relief from reminiscing about the past; the meaning was so complicated that it didn't seem like it could appear on the face of an ordinary female high school student. A mature expression on the face.
However, unexpectedly, it made people feel that only she would have that expression, and she didn't feel that there was any disobedience.
Maybe it was because his eyes fell on her face, and then he was lost in thought for a little too long, when the silver-white phoenix circled a few times above their heads, and finally flew towards the shattered window , and then disappeared suddenly the moment he touched the window glass, he suddenly heard Atobe let out a low laugh with no clear meaning.
That short laugh made him shiver slightly for no reason.For some reason, he immediately turned his head subconsciously, glanced at Atobe who was walking towards the corner of the wall at the moment, and then leaned his back against the wall leisurely.
Atobe was leaning against the wall, his head was leaning back against the wall, and his chin was slightly raised. This posture made him look back at Yanagizumi and Tezuka who were still standing in place with a kind of squinting posture similar to aloft.
"What, this so-called...'curse' actually has a great meaning."
Liu Quan: "..."
Tezuka: "...??"
Atobe smiled, raising his eyebrows slightly.
"...won't you explain it well, what's going on with all of this?"
Tezuka noticed that after hearing this question, Liu Quan's body seemed to shake slightly.However, she remained stubbornly silent, slowly turning the magical little stick in her right hand seemingly unconsciously - called a "magic wand", a magical prop that can be used to cast those super-scientific spells.
At that moment, the conclusion that he used to need to think longer than others to come to, suddenly appeared clearly in his mind.
She has some unexplainable secrets...and doesn't seem to want to reveal them all.However, for Atobe, truth and trust are more important.
This subtle emotional difference made Tezuka feel a pain.
He is not good at capturing such subtle emotional changes of others, it is better to say that he can understand the difference that Atobe and Liu Quan want, which has exhausted all his character and brain cells today.But since the discovery of this difference will lead to disagreements and problems, my responsible nature will automatically start to work, and it is impossible to sit idly by.
So he coughed, trying to calm the turbulent undercurrent beneath the seemingly calm surface of the scene.
"Atobe, when encountering such an accident, everyone can understand the feeling of wanting an answer. But if the other party really has something to hide..." He tried to persuade in an objective tone.
However, just when he paused briefly and felt a bit difficult to speak, Atobe took the lead.
"Really, it has been like this from before to now, it has always been like this..."
Atobe, who was half leaning against the wall, suddenly laughed softly.His beautiful and magnetic voice spoke in a slightly tired tone.
"I was always implicated by you, and I had to bring you endless troubles to deal with the aftermath... I thought I could help you work hard in tennis, but in the end, I just gave up..."
Liu Quan continued to remain silent, as if he had nothing to say about Atobe's narration.But Tezuka noticed that the unconscious twirling of the wand in her hand had stopped.Now her right hand is holding the wand tightly, as if doing so can suppress all the words and emotions in her heart that she wants to express, so hard that the blue veins even faintly float on the back of her hand.
"Although it seems that he has developed an even more incredible new skill... But in this case, what do you think of tennis, huh?!"
Although he used his mantra again, Atobe's voice did not sound preaching or reproachful, but simply continued in a tone similar to sighing and fatigue:
"...What do you think of those of us who seriously believe in you and cherish your talents?"
"Is there anything that can't be discussed by talking about it? There should be a way to solve everything...Hiding up is meaningless, and it's the worst kind—"
As a result, she was able to endure so many serious criticisms before, but it was the last few words that Tezuka heard were very ordinary, but it seemed that Liu Quan Xinya's bottom line of patience had been completely detonated.
"There is something... There are some things in this world, no matter how hard you discuss them, it's useless!" She raised her head suddenly and blurted out.
"Say it? Can you understand it? Can you solve it? Atobe-kun, you can't even solve the matter that your elders want you to give up tennis. My matter is much more complicated than this... "
Atobe:! ! !
Tezuka:! ?
"Hiding something terrible and getting everyone into chaos... It's all my fault."
As if she no longer cared what the two people in front of her thought of her, and didn't intend to hide her feelings anymore, she began to speak in one breath.
"I gave up tennis rashly. I also have my own self-willed reasons. Although I am sorry to say it to everyone, but... I have my pain. Maybe others can't understand it?"
Looking back and thinking about the psychological activities of Zhenxin Yajiang learned in Xinshou Village, with the feeling of "I won't be able to stay here when I wake up tomorrow morning anyway", Liu Quan's verbal skills are displayed again out.
What can the male protagonist who has conquered this world get here.Except for memories that only last a few hours but will always make you feel bad in the future, you can't touch anything, can you? !
Then it's better to simply brush the favorability developed by fighting the enemy together and fighting side by side until it returns to zero.In this way, you can also let yourself give up, complete the task well and accumulate enough points, and then go home.
Because in the future, they should also have their special, magnificent and wonderful life, climb to the peak they want to reach, and meet a more suitable person... instead of indulging in her, a visitor from another world who will never come back In the memories left behind, no matter the memories are good or bad, they should be abandoned in the old days like today that will never return——
"...I don't want those talents anymore."
"Isn't this good now? You can do whatever you want, without worrying about the etiquette, self-cultivation and face of the young lady. If anyone dares to offend me, I don't have to look forward and backward, and I don't have to endure it until I get internal injuries. Just take care of it... ..."
"If you have to sacrifice freedom and everything else for the sake of tennis, what's the point of tennis? Isn't the pursuit of the highest level of tennis just to make yourself happy and satisfied?"
She slowly raised her eyes, her eyes were bright and sharp, and fell on Atobe's face.

Please see below for the end of this chapter↓↓↓
===========================================
"For you, the word 'tennis' means joy and sacredness."
"But unfortunately, for me, the word 'tennis' connotes darkness and pain."
"Thanks to you guys, it's not enough to offset the hatred of tennis. So I just gave up on that."
"From now on, just let me rot freely in this horrible and indifferent world."
"If rot could buy me/freedom, I would love it."
"And, I can prove to you that I can live a fine life without tennis..."
"At the end of the day, if you think 'Without tennis, Xinya Liuquan has no value', then you and the rest of Liuquan's family... and those who wantonly laugh and talk about the 'genius fall' thing, and What's the difference?"
