[Prince of Tennis] Irises and Begonias

Saito Keiyo first met Yukimura Seiichi when she was three years old. From that moment on, she fell in love at first sight with the boy who would become her childhood sweetheart.

Everyone at Rikkai Dai knew that Saito Keiyo liked Yukimura Seiichi. She had liked him for a full twelve years, and her feelings had long since become more than a simple crush. Perhaps they would torment her for the rest of her life. But...

Beneath the open-air stage, the crowd roared.

Colorful lights shone on the girl's face.

It was a scene Yukimura Seiichi had never imagined.

The person onstage wore a long begonia-red dress and smiled.

“If every bit of my love for you blossomed into a flower, I would be surrounded forever by a garden of irises.”

“I can only stay by your side and protect you as your older sister, until you find... the right person who belongs to you...”

“But I've realized I can't pretend not to care while watching you fall for someone else.”

“You are the prince in the fairy tale I made up, and I... am the princess of a neighboring kingdom who loves you dearly... A princess and prince staying together forever only happens in fairy tales...”

“You still lied to me...”

In that moment, Yukimura Seiichi finally realized that something was truly gone forever...

P.S. While reading Prince of Tennis, I really wished there were someone who could always stay by the captain's side, accompany him, protect him, and devote herself wholeheartedly to him, with eyes and heart for no one else.

This story mainly focuses on Rikkai. The Kings of Rikkai Dai will prevail, claiming the championship with no blind spots. Fans of Seigaku, please stay away.

The author's writing isn't very good, so the captain may be a little out of character at times (hides face).

P.S. The male lead may be Atobe or Yukimura.

A little idealized, with the whole cast devoted to the female lead.

Theme: Cherish the people in front of you. Don't wait until they're gone to regret it.
