Tachibana Kippei righteously rejected Seiya's leave request, then gave Seiya's shoulder a comforting pat as if to console him.
As Seiya looked into the other man's sincere, serious eyes, he had only just begun to feel a trace of guilt when Tachibana Kippei furtively pulled out an autograph card and whispered, "Actually, I want to ask you for something too.
If possible, could you get your sister's autograph for me?
I'm actually a fan of Miss Miyaka too. I wanted to ask her for an autograph at the celebration banquet before.
But you know, I'm the captain of the Fudomine Tennis Club. I still need to maintain some dignity on the surface, so..."
Seiya: "(_; Get lost! I never thought you were this kind of Tachibana Kippei. I was so wrong about you!"
After parting ways with An and her brother, Seiya rode home in his sister's luxury supercar.
And the moment he got home, Seiya knew clearly that the nightmare was only beginning.
After learning that Seiya had won the Regional Tournament, Seiya's mother, Wenren Xingzi, was just as overjoyed as Miyaka.
Since their bargain-bin father in this world had died early, Wenren Xingzi and Wenren Miyaka doted excessively on Seiya, the only male in the family.
Did you think Wenren Miyaka's previous indulgence toward Seiya had already reached the level of obsessive little-brother worship?
No, no, no. Compared to Seiya's mother, Wenren Xingzi, Wenren Miyaka's pampering was at most gold-tier.
The Wenren Family was very rich. But how rich were they?
Even Atobe Keigo, the richest guy in Prince of Tennis, barely qualified as worth noticing compared with Seiya's family.
Wenren Xingzi was a renowned figure in the business world and a formidable career woman. She had founded the Wenren Group with her husband, and through years of hard work, had continued expanding it.
By now, the Wenren Group was an absolute giant even within the entire island nation's business circle.
The house Seiya currently lived in already looked like a mansion to An and the others, but in reality, it was not even the Wenren Family's main residence.
It was merely a villa—dormitory—that Wenren Xingzi had specifically bought for her son's convenience in attending school.
Even this dormitory meant for Seiya alone had everything from an underground gym and private tennis court to an open-air courtyard and garden. It had everything it should have, and plenty it should not have.
Seiya had merely won the Regional Tournament, yet Wenren Xingzi was happier than if she had earned tens of billions of yen. She immediately announced that they needed to contact major media outlets to interview her family's gifted son.
As for this year's middle school tennis tournament, Wenren Xingzi felt that both the equipment and venues were too shabby and outdated, and that they would affect her son's ability to perform.
So with just one phone call, the tennis association headquarters received a sponsorship fee of over a hundred million yen from the Wenren Group.
"Mom, the regional preliminaries are just the lowest-level competition. This championship doesn't mean much.
Can you stop making such a huge fuss? You even sponsored the middle school tennis association. People are going to think I won by fixing matches."
After Seiya's earnest persuasion, Wenren Xingzi finally stopped all her outrageous maneuvers.
However, after Seiya returned to his room, the beautiful forty-year-old woman suddenly felt that since her son opposed sponsoring the tennis association and contacting the media—
Fudomine Municipal Middle School, which had trained her son to be so outstanding, could not go unrewarded.
So she soon picked up the phone again, called her secretary, and said in a serious tone, "That's right. Don't donate money directly. Build them several new buildings instead.
Get them all the latest tennis equipment too. Then tell the Principal not to announce that it was donated by our Wenren Group."
Naturally, Seiya knew nothing about his mother's antics. While Xingzi and Miyaka were still watching the match recordings, he had already entered the Mind Dream Space once more.
When Prince of Tennis Seiya arrived in the Mind Dream Space, he discovered that besides Sword Art Online Seiya, whom he had met before, there were others present today.
No, calling all of them people was perhaps not entirely accurate, because among the three newly appeared figures, only the four- or five-year-old boy could be considered human.
As for the other two spherical figures, once Prince of Tennis Seiya saw their appearances clearly, it was truly difficult to classify them as human.
"Are those three newcomers too? Or rather, are they like us as well?"
Prince of Tennis Seiya, who had arrived later, saw Sword Art Online Seiya chatting animatedly with the three figures and could not help asking.
Only when Seiya walked closer did he realize what the two spherical creatures besides the four- or five-year-old boy actually were.
One of the spherical creatures was entirely pink, with a pair of long ears and a huge mouth that nearly took up half its body. It was none other than the well-known Snowballmon of the Digital World.
The other floated in midair, covered in brown fur, with tiny clawed limbs. It was called Kuriboh, the famous workhorse of the Yu-Gi-Oh! World and the spirit of two generations of Pharaohs.
Just as Prince of Tennis Seiya had expected, they were Seiya too. Their methods of transmigration had simply gone a little wrong: one had become a Digimon, while the other had become a Monster Card.
When Digimon Seiya and Yu-Gi-Oh! Seiya entered the Mind Dream Space and saw the other Seiyas, they cried as though the heavens had collapsed.
They should have been happy to have unlocked the proper way to use their cheat abilities. But when they saw that all the other Seiyas looked like proper human beings while they alone had turned into mascots, their hearts instantly became unbalanced.
Before Prince of Tennis Seiya arrived, Sword Art Online Seiya and Shota Seiya had been continuously consoling the two of them.
But when Prince of Tennis Seiya arrived and explained which world he had gone to, those two cried even more heart-wrenchingly.
Prince of Tennis Seiya was not only handsome, but damn it, he was also from a wealthy family. He had a mother, a sister, and even the school beauty in his class. Comparing people really could kill you. They were all Seiyas, so why was the gap so enormous?
"Actually, I think becoming a Digimon and a Monster Card through transmigration might not necessarily be a bad thing.
Think about it carefully, you two. Who says the Digital World and the Monster Spirit World don't have beautiful girls?"
Hearing Shota Seiya's words, everyone present was clearly stunned. Then he gave a dry cough and continued, "How many beauties are there in the Prince of Tennis World? And there really aren't that many worthwhile girls in the Sword Art Online World either, right?
The Digital World, on the other hand, is different. Haven't you seen Angewomon, LadyDevimon, Lilithmon, and ChaosGallantmon? Each of them is still charming and alluring.
Angels and Demons, Demon Lord-types and Divine Person-types. How could ordinary human girls possibly compare to nonhuman beauties?"
