Zongman: Complete Guide to Characters

"3-0."

Inui Sadaharu pushed up a pair of thick, opaque glasses on his face and read out the tennis scores with a serious expression.

The onlookers around were discussing in surprise.

"How is this going?"

"Just now, this little girl came over and said she wanted to have a match. Unexpectedly..."

"That little boy was Yanagi Renji, one of the elementary school doubles tennis champions. How could he lose so badly?"

"We haven't lost yet. There are still three rounds to go. Maybe Liu Jun is just holding back. As long as..."

"The situation is completely one-sided! Even if I were to hold back, I wouldn't hold back to this extent. There's no need to watch the next three rounds."

"Who is the girl opposite?"

"A little girl I've never seen before."

Listening to the discussions of the people around him, Inui Sadaharu adjusted his glasses.

Just now, when the girl with long light blonde hair came over and said she wanted to have a fight, Yanagi Renji and I said we should give the girl a little leeway.

did not expect……

His doubles friend Yanagi Renji, who accepted the challenge, was about to be defeated by a girl who suddenly appeared.

And the opponent was extremely and overwhelmingly powerful.

He had never seen his friend run around so much on the court, but even so, he never won a single ball.

"..."

Yeyue, who was also watching the game, rubbed his chubby childish face and looked at the brightly colored girls on the field speechlessly.

Kanna was too showy when she was little. You are a magical girl who loves fighting and playing tennis with other kids. This is not the way to tease them.

Yeyue leaned on the railing of the audience seats. She was not surprised at all by this guy's performance.

After understanding the rules and officially starting the game, Kanna would naturally be the winner. Sports, after all, test physical abilities such as reaction, strength, and speed. If she couldn't even beat a boy in elementary school, Kanna would have died in defeat to the witch long ago.

"You are very strong." The boy with a neat straight haircut named Yanagi Renji wiped the sweat from his face and stood up.

He is not someone who can't afford to lose. Even though the current situation is so serious, he doesn't have too many negative emotions and his mind remains calm.

Rather than feeling unwilling to accept defeat, he was more curious about the girl who suddenly appeared in front of him.

"I have something to ask you. Are you... a newbie?" While Yanagi Renji said this, he also felt it was a bit ridiculous.

However, the opponent's skills improved little by little during the game. Although it was not obvious, as his opponent, I was still able to observe it with the help of special data tennis.

"Ah? You figured it out?" Kanna smiled as she stood on the opposite court, holding her racket. "You're very perceptive."

Compared to her opponent's profuse sweat, the girl, who had been exercising under the scorching sun for more than ten minutes, did not react much. Her face did not turn red, and she was not out of breath. Her relaxed attitude put great pressure on her opponent.

Yeyue rested her chin on A Ling's shoulder and looked at the two teenagers with narrowed eyes.

I had originally come out to purchase things with Rei and Kanna today, but I ended up seeing these two teenagers playing tennis. After observing for a while, Kanna actually took the initiative to come over and challenge them to a match.

In a tennis match, one point is awarded for each ball won. The team that wins 1 points first wins a game. The team that wins 1 games first and is at least 4 games ahead of the opponent wins.

After three games, there was a short break. The opponent's young man was not discouraged and talked about tactics with his teammates.

Shen Na also came to his side.

"The opponent's ball path is very tricky. He is constantly testing Kanna's weaknesses. Don't take it lightly." Yeyue glanced at Inui Sadaharu and Yanagi Renji over there.

With the system panel, she knows that the opponent boy has a special skill called "Data Tennis". The opponent keeps testing Kanna, while also collecting Kanna's data, waiting for the opportunity to defeat Kanna.

"Please don't worry." Shennai smiled. Yeyue didn't know what she was thinking. In fact, it was incredible that Shennai would get involved in ordinary people's affairs.

Ling took a bite of the melting ice cream and lowered his head dejectedly.

The summer sun is very strong, leaving a scorching heat on the skin.

Although A Ling didn't show anything on her face, Ye Yue could keenly sense her listlessness.

I don't like such hot weather.

In this kind of weather, even if you do nothing but watch the game in the scorching sun, it would be too much.

She looked around but there was no shade anywhere.

"Kanna, I'll take Rei to a cool place first."

"Eh? Are you guys leaving?" Kana leaned over and grabbed her sleeve.

Yeyue held Ling's hand and looked back in confusion, "Because Ling doesn't like sunbathing. I'm fine. If Shenna doesn't like being alone, come back after I've arranged for Ling..."

"I understand. I'm sorry." The young Kanna clasped her hands together and looked at Rei with an apologetic look.

She rolled over the partition that was almost as tall as herself and landed on the audience stand. "I'll go too. I'm sorry for not noticing Ling's feelings in time."

"You don't want to fight anymore?"

Yeyue looked at the boy who was his opponent.

It's actually a bit rude to end the game suddenly.

"Well - in comparison, Ling-chan and Yue-chan are more important. And that's enough for this time. There are still things we haven't bought, let's go." The girl said softly.

"What happened?"

Yanagi Renji and Inui Sadaharu looked over in confusion.

"It's like this," Ye Yue stepped forward, thinking of a reason that wouldn't sound abrupt, "The egg sale is about to start this afternoon, and each person can only buy one box. If you don't hurry up, you'll miss it, so..."

As soon as I said it, I suddenly realized that the three of us are just children now. Is this reason too abrupt?

"Help with the housework?" Inui Sadaharu raised his eyebrows.

"Almost... not much?" Yeyue was a little nervous. This reason was indeed a bit strange?

"That's indeed important. We can continue the competition next time." Yanagi Renji nodded gently.

Inui Sadaharu looked at him in surprise, but since the main player in the competition didn't think there was a problem, he certainly wouldn't say anything.

"Being thrifty is a good way of life." Yanagi Renji paused and said to his friend.

He turned around and asked Yeyue, who seemed to be more talkative, "If you don't mind, can you tell me which supermarket has the promotion?"

Yeyue blinked her red eyes lightly, a little surprised by the other party's question, and then told the other party the address.

"Thank you. I'd like to buy a dozen eggs for my mother sometime. She'll be very happy."

The boy with the baby-haired look thanked him solemnly.
