One day, after thirteen years of being illiterate, Nakahara Yusuke was ordered by his older brother Chuuya to go to school.
Nakahara Yusuke, rolling around like a puppy: No, no! I don't want to go to school! I want to be a Mafia boss like you, Chuuya!
With no other choice, everyone from Chuuya to the Flags to Kouyou, and even the most stubborn Akutagawa, was forced to try and talk the little puppy into it.
Puppy Yusuke: rolls over, covers his ears, refuses to listen
Verlaine, barging in: If he doesn't want to go, don't make him. It's only a human middle school...
Ranpo, smiling: Shut up, Paul.
In the end, Chuuya, as the boss, had no choice but to grit his teeth and contact the red-haired curry addict who had defected.
The bandaged guy who heard about it: Hehe~
We'll never know what the black sludge bandage guy said to puppy Yusuke while he was with the red-haired curry addict that day.
All we know is this:
Nakahara Yusuke finally agreed to go to school!
On the first day of school, puppy Yusuke strode in confidently, carrying The Rikkai Tennis Club Mafia Boss Guide that the bandaged guy had given him. There, he met a like-minded best friend.
The little seaweed-head flipped up onto his feet with a flourish, leaped onto the Rikkai school gate, planted his hands on his hips, and shouted, "I, Akaya Kirihara, from today onward..."
"Will be the number one player in the Rikkai tennis club!"
Puppy Yusuke's ears perked up. He copied him, flipping onto the gate and putting his hands on his hips. "I, Nakahara Yusuke, from today onward..."
"Will be the boss of the Rikkai tennis Mafia!"
The middle-aged dean shouted, "You two new students! What are your names, and what class are you in? Get down here right now!"
The two boys exchanged a glance from atop the stone gate pillar. Uh-oh! Run!
As the simple-minded seaweed-head sprinted away, it finally dawned on him: What was the Mafia? Weren't they supposed to become the number one tennis players?
The Big Three, who had watched the whole thing: ...Are those two chuunibyou juniors? I'm really worried about the future of the tennis club. (Wipes brow with an awkward smile.)
Still, somehow, it feels like things are going to get lively from now on. ^_^
[Reader's Guide]
1. Yusuke and Akaya are in the same year. The 16+3 age setting is non-negotiable!
2. Unless something unexpected happens, the story will cover U17 and the world tournament.
3. This is a happy-ending world, an everyone-survives alternate timeline!
4. In the Boss Chuuya universe, Yusuke is 100% human and is not related to Chuuya by blood. He has an ability, but it won't affect his tennis skills.
Premise: A Mafia boss who plays tennis.
