When Will Echizen's Secret Identity Be Exposed?

Pairing: Ranpo [An early work, with rough writing. Enter with caution.] Blurb: The summer he was thirteen, Echizen Ryoma became an assistant coach at a tennis training camp in Yokohama. He thought he'd just be playing tennis, but after an accident awakened his supernatural ability, he was invited to join the Armed Detective Agency. Meanwhile, a new rumor spread among Yokohama's various organizations. They say the Armed Detective Agency has a powerful new member? They say Gin has an illegitimate child? They say the Colorless King keeps showing up? Ryoma: No, that's all fake. They're still no match for me. 1. The big shots are interviewed: The president: He's a very stubborn kid. Gin: Hmm? The Hat Rack: Hah. He's just a brat who can keep up with me for a few rounds, at best. The Great Detective: He's a good friend I can eat burgers and sleep with! 2. Ryoma always thought he had a supernatural ability. Until a man told him that the power he had wasn't a supernatural ability, but the power of a King. Dazai: I knew from the start. I just thought it was funny every time I said the name of the ability. 3. At seventeen, Ryoma stood on the Wimbledon winners' podium. Someone asked him which day and place he remembered most. He curled his lips into a smile. "The summer break when I was thirteen, and Yokohama." Four years later, the big shots watched that boy on TV and couldn't help but marvel: So he really only wanted to play tennis.
