[Net King] The end of no fruit

After art class, it's time for club activities again.As usual, Hosokawa Sumire went with his classmate Tezuka Kunimitsu, and the journey was silent.Hosokawa Sumire felt a little embarrassed, and was trying to find a topic to break the silence, but for some reason, he blurted out a sentence: "Tezuka, what do you think of Hiratani-kun's paintings?"

How did she ask this?No, this sentence seems to come out without thinking... Why is it like this?

"Are you referring to the painting today?" Tezuka asked before Hosokawa could find out the reason.Hosokawa Sumori nodded, waiting for Tezuka Kunimitsu's answer.

"That painting is a bit strange." Tezuka's blunt answer surprised Hosokawa, but he also breathed a sigh of relief.

Apparently she wasn't alone in feeling this way.Hosokawa Summi exhaled secretly, feeling much better all of a sudden.

"Be careful!" Tezuka Kunimitsu's icy voice made Hosokawa Summi startled. When he came back to his senses, he found that his slender left arm was pulled to the left by the boy Tezuka—successfully avoiding the person who collided head-on. .The clear peppermint smell on the young man's body brought Hosokawa back to his senses, and he broke away without showing a trace.

The physical contact made the faces of the two blushed, and neither of them spoke, they could only focus on the instigator of the accident just now.

The boy who came to meet him was Shibuichi Hiratani.And in his hand, he was holding the drawing paper rolled into a cylinder. He seemed to have been running for a while, panting slightly, and his fair face was still flushed after exercise.

"Ah, it's Hosokawa and Tezuka-kun." The astonishment on the boy's face flashed. Due to the hot weather, the boy took off his black uniform jacket, leaving only the white shirt inside, but the buttons on the cuffs and collar were All fastened tightly.

"Hiragu, aren't you holding the painting that was shown in our class just now?" Hosokawa Sumire looked sideways at Tezuka boy who was still wearing a black coat, and asked when he saw that he had no intention of speaking.

"Ah, yes. The teacher asked me to modify some places, and then I will use it as a school-wide exhibition." Different from the slightly reserved smile in the past, Hiratani's smile at this time makes people feel bright, as if All the sunlight gathered on him.

Hosokawa Cheng was startled, and seeing that Pinggu Sheyi didn't seem to be impatient, he plucked up his courage and asked, "Pinggu-kun, can you please show me that painting again?" Seeing Pinggu Sheyi's puzzled expression , Hosokawa Cheng thought for a while, and then said, "Because I didn't observe carefully in art class today... After all, I can't see clearly on the projection."

"Okay!" Shibuichi Hiratani readily agreed, unfolded the rolled drawing paper to reveal the painting, and carefully placed the front of the painting to the side of Cheng Hosokawa.

Hosokawa Cheng noticed this small detail, felt warm in his heart, thanked him, and finally looked at the drawing paper carefully.As Hosokawa had expected, the first thing she noticed were those eyes.

It's really familiar, so familiar that it seems to be seen every day, and that kind of look seems to see through her whole body.But she still couldn't remember where she had seen those eyes.

Hosokawa Cheng raised his head in disappointment, his eyes met the dark eyes of the black-haired boy, and there was her reflection in his pupils.

She actually lost her mind when she looked at him...

The bright black eyes are as dark as the night sky, and the girl reflected has a pair of dazed, cold, and confused eyes.Hosokawa Sumire's pupils constricted for a while, and he took a few steps back quickly, tripping over the floor tiles and staggering. Fortunately, Tezuka Kunimitsu who was beside her supported her from behind, so that she was saved from a tragic fall on her back. elephant.

Hosokawa Sumire stared blankly at Shibuichi Hiratani, his lips twitched, trying to say something, but his mind went blank.

Seeing the shakiness of Hosokawa Sumire, Tezuka Kunimitsu frowned imperceptibly, bid farewell to Hiraya Shibuichi who was still immersed in the joy of his painting being displayed, and signaled Hosokawa Sumire to go to club activities .

When Hosokawa came back to his senses, Shibu Hiratani had already left with brisk steps early in the morning.

Today's tennis club will have a qualifying match, so it's no wonder that Kunimitsu Tezuka, who is usually calm, is so "impatient".All the second and third grade members were divided into four groups, Group A, Group B, Group C and Group D.Tezuka Kunimitsu and Fuji Shusuke were divided into Group C.This proves that there must be a war between them.

Oishi Shuichiro and Kikumaru Eiji, who also have more potential, were divided into Group A and Group D respectively, and most of Group B were seniors in the third grade.The four second-year boys that Summi Hosokawa knew well in the tennis club were nothing more than these four.Sadaharu Mikami and Takashi Kawamura, who are both in the second grade, one is because of their weird personalities, and the other is because of their shyness. Cheng Hosokawa is just familiar with them.

Today's game is played in Group A and Group B at the same time.Tezuka Kunimitsu, who has nothing to do with this afternoon's qualifying match, is seriously watching the seniors' games as a minister, maybe he wants to learn some experience from the games.

Fuer Zhousuke was watching the match in Group A, and there was Gan Sadaharu who he was very interested in - Fuji Shusuke seemed to have never been in contact with a data-type tennis player before this.

On the side, Hosokawa Sumire arranged the water bottles and towels of the players on the small table. Since today is a qualifying match, she, the manager, is not needed to record any data.All she needs to do is mark the score on the whiteboard behind her.

Coach Ryuzaki was standing beside Tezuka, the serious expressions of the elder and the younger made Hosokawa, who was standing closer to Group B, shudder again.Seeing Fujisuke's spring-breathing smile, and looking at the icy faces of the two, Hosokawa Sumori's body trembled, and he immediately focused his attention elsewhere.

Sadaharu Sadaharu, who soon finished the game, calmly took his water bottle and towel from Hosokawa, and smiled politely at Hosokawa. The white light reflected from the glasses surprised Hosokawa again, and then returned a stiff smile. .

As we all know, the notebook carried by Sadaharu Mikami records the data of various characters, but most of them are tennis players. For a small manager like Hosokawa who does not know tennis, there is only a simple data. Favorable data is the most worth recording.

As for why Gan Sadaharu smiled politely at Sumire Hosokawa—he must always have a sense of intimacy with girls who have the same green eyes as himself.

The seniors in group B who quickly ended the game also took away the water bottles and towels, and the matter of doing Sadaharu was also forgotten by Hosokawa as a small episode.

After the club activities, because of Hosokawa Sumire and Tezuka Kunimitsu's sake, the two boarded the bus together.The school was not far from home, only one stop away, but the sky had already dimmed a little, so Summi Hosokawa and Kunimitsu Tezuka unanimously chose to take the bus.

In the car, Tezuka Boy and Hosokawa Sumire, who took out their textbooks for review and preview, started discussing the after-school exercises "enthusiastically".It was clearly a high-level exercise, but Sumi Hosokawa could see the trap at a glance. The boy Tezuka who was discussing with Summi Hosokawa looked at her, full of admiration and surprise.

The doubts in Cheng Hosokawa's mind deepened, and she frowned as she looked at the question that should have been difficult.

Hosokawa Sumire hated this illusory sense of crisis.

"...!" The young man beside him smiled so brightly that the girl couldn't help being taken aback, her heart seemed to be infected by his happiness, but she still maintained her calm appearance and asked lightly, "What's wrong?"

The young man seemed to be used to her indifference, and said with a gentle smile, "My painting was selected for the school's painting exhibition!"

She raised her eyebrows, but immediately regained her composure, and said, "Then, congratulations." He could hear her softened tone.

He gently put his painting in her hand, and slowly unfolded it...

He saw the girl's bright smile, and her lake-green eyes sparkled.

That was her most beautiful smile that he had never seen before.
