The Overseer Is Playing Tennis Again Today

Mainly Touken Ranbu + The Prince of Tennis

*

Tsurumaru found an egg and brought it back to the citadel. It hatched.

After a few mishaps, the little bird became the Saniwa.

The sword warriors were at a loss when their brand-new Saniwa hatched. The little bird had formed contracts with them all on its own.

With no other choice, they reported the situation to the government. After a heated discussion and a series of tests, Sumikawa Tsuruya became the Saniwa of Citadel A-616, with the code name Bai Zhai.

And so began the wonderful, heartwarming (utterly chaotic) life of raising a little one at Citadel A-616.

After coming to the present day to go to school, Sumikawa Tsuruya discovered that this world didn't seem very scientific.

Raised by sword warriors, Tsuruya thought he was pretty open-minded.

People with supernatural abilities in Yokohama? He could accept that.

Magical girls? Sure, why not.

But a walking shinigami and tennis balls that could kill people? Wasn't that a bit much?

Faced with all this, Tsuruya had one thing to say: This isn't something a healing-type like me should have to worry about!

A day at the citadel

Under the Thousand-Leaf Cherry Tree

"Lord Tsurumaru, please put our master down," Kashuu said helplessly to Tsurumaru, who was up in the Thousand-Leaf Cherry Tree.

"No way. Our little master hasn't played with me in ages."

"Tsuru, hug," said Tsurumaru, holding Sumikawa Tsuruya, who had shrunk by accident. "Look, our little master wants to play with Tsuru."

Kashuu waved the snacks he'd prepared toward Sumikawa. "Little master, there are sweets!"

Tsuruya's eyes lit up at the sight of them. "Eat sweets, Kashuu." He tried to wriggle free of Tsurumaru's arms, but Tsurumaru wouldn't let him, so Sumikawa Tsuruya turned back into his original form.

A little white bird flew toward Kashuu. Kashuu caught Sumikawa Tsuruya, handed him the sweets, and headed toward the Tenshukaku.

What awaited Tsurumaru was a training match with Hasebe and the others.

Not that Tsurumaru would change. :)
