[Net King] The continuation of the dream

"Ball skill conference?"

"...Here is the entry form. Both Higure-kun and Yukimura-kun must participate. You two are the best at sports in our class."

After the advocacy of the class sports committee, Ri Mu Xiwu accepted the registration form for the ball skills conference, but when he was about to fill in his name, he realized that the situation was different from what he had imagined.

"Can't you apply for the project of your club?"

——This point, the sports committee did not explain in advance.

The blue-haired boy at the next table smiled: "There has always been this rule in the game of golf, doesn't Higurashi know?"

Sunset and Xiwu were a little embarrassed: "I have never participated in such an event before."

"There is no ball skills conference in Shinno Tanaka?"

Sunset and Xiwu shook his head slightly: "New Noda has summer and winter sports games every year, and I have never experienced the special skill competition."

Seiichi Yukimura understood, and asked instead: "So, has Higurashi decided which one to participate in?"

"Since you can't choose tennis..." Ri Muxi Wu looked at the various ball games on the registration form, and was a little embarrassed for a while, "Except for a little knowledge of billiards, basketball and football in physical education class, I haven't had much contact with others. ," paused, and looked at the blue-haired boy who didn't hesitate to write on the form, "Has Yukimura-kun confirmed the project yet?"

"I'm interested in cricket." Yukimura Seichi replied with a smile.

"...I watched a cricket game once, and it was not an easy feeling."

"Is Higurashi planning to team up with me?"

Ri Muxi looked ashamed: "I don't understand cricket at all."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand," Seiichi Yukimura said with a smile, "This is the fun of the game."

"Is that right?"

"So, Higurashi, what is your decision?"

"Although I look forward to partnering with Yukimura-kun, it is not a suitable choice for me, who knows nothing, to participate in such a difficult competition." Ri Muxi Wu shook his head—he may not care about his own winning or losing, but he does not want to let friends or companions because of himself Bearing the consequences of failure - picking up the registration form, thinking seriously, "Maybe I can consider badminton or billiards..."

At least they are all Tennis, they have something in common with tennis.

Yukimura Seichi said: "Probably the most people signed up for these two projects."

Hearing this, Sunset and Xiwu couldn't help but hesitate: "I don't know what Yukimura-kun has in mind?"

"Badminton, billiards, basketball, football, volleyball... Everyone in the tennis club should have signed up for these events." Seichi Yukimura thoughtfully looking at the form, "Only the last shuttlecock is a new one this year. There are probably not many people who choose it, and the tennis club has never heard of anyone signing up."

"Shuttlecock?" Sunset and Xiwu were puzzled, with embarrassment in their words, "I haven't heard of this sport before, I'm really ignorant."

Seiichi Yukimura's eyes fell on the young man from Kyoto at the next table, and a funny smile suddenly rose from the corner of his mouth, and he said in a very ministerial manner: "Hey, Higurashi, there should be no dead ends in our Tachikai tennis club..."

"Ah?" Ri Mu Xi Wu didn't quite understand why the other party suddenly mentioned this.

——Although the overly flamboyant and arrogance-like slogan of "no dead ends" is not in line with his own style of conduct, as a member of the Lihai University Tennis Club, he has been working hard to ask himself to do it at this point.

Seiichi Yukimura continued: "Last year's ball skills conference, our tennis club won the top and second places in each event... This year's newly added shuttlecock can't let up."

Sunset and Xiwu subconsciously nodded.

"Just leave it to Higurashi!"

"..."

"Minister," Ri Mu Xi Wu couldn't help feeling tangled, "I'm naturally willing to participate in the shuttlecock game...but, so far, I haven't seen what shuttlecock looks like."

It seems a bit taken for granted to let him, who doesn't know how to play shuttlecock at all, participate.

Yukimura Seichi smiled deeper: "If it's Higurashi, practice for a day or two, then it won't be a problem at all!"

"..."

"Shuttlecock is a sport that originated in China. It hasn't been around for a long time, and there are probably not many people who can play it well at Rikkai." Seiichi Yukimura seemed to comfort him, "You don't have to worry about Higure."

Sunset and Xiwu are actually not too worried, he just...

Da Rebellious feels that his minister is a little unreliable.

Although, it feels very good to be trusted - especially the person who trusts him is a classmate he respects very much in Lihai University.

"Kick?" Sunset and Xiwu caught the opponent's words, "Is it like football?"

Yukimura Seichi replied: "Shuttlecock is smaller and simpler than football. It generally uses badminton courts, volleyball rules and sepak takraw moves."

Sunset and evening fog feel a bit confused.

However, out of the expectation and trust of his minister, he was not sure what game to participate in, so he finally accepted the other party's suggestion and ticked the back of shuttlecock on the registration form.

……

Evening sunset.

After the club work was over, Higurashi Yugiri did not go home directly, but went to a sporting goods store with Marui Bunta and Jack Kuwahara.Those two wanted to choose new wristbands and hand gel, while he wanted to buy a shuttlecock and a study manual to go back and practice.

"Puhaha," the red-haired boy laughed happily, "It turns out that Yuuki likes feather shuttlecocks, he feels like a girl!"

Sunset and Xiwu stared at the colorful "shuttlecocks" selected by the store manager—referring to another "feather shuttlecock" that he actually knew—and remained silent for a moment.

... The minister was right about one thing, let him learn this, and he will be able to get started very quickly.

"Because I applied for the shuttlecock event of the ball skills conference, I plan to familiarize myself with it in advance." Ri Mu Xi Wu could only explain to his friend in this way.

Fumita Marui laughed even harder: "I thought no one in the tennis club would apply for this kind of girls' event. The minister has been encouraging everyone to actively sign up, saying that our tennis club can't have dead ends in any event, but Nobody wants to go…”

Thinking about it day and night, probably when the minister was motivating everyone, he just went to attend the class committee meeting.

...that's all.

Although he may have been misled by the minister, the list has been submitted, and he should actively prepare for the game.

In any case, as a member of the tennis club, you do have the responsibility to maintain the reputation of the club.

Furthermore, although girls play shuttlecock a lot, no one stipulates that boys are not allowed to participate, right? !

The day of the ball game.

Standing outside the competition area of ​​the shuttlecock event, Ri Mu Xi Wu silently retracted her previous thoughts.

...Maybe there are boys who can play shuttlecock, but at least at Lihai University, it seems that other than him, only girls will choose this event.

In particular, boys are generally better at other ball games, so there are slightly more girls who sign up for shuttlecock.

Due to the limitation of the venue, the rules of shuttlecock this time are relatively simple. There is no double match or team event as expected in advance, only a single match...

In other words, it's purely a matter of who kicks the shuttlecock longer.

"Come on, Yuuki, we are all here to cheer you up. If you take the first place, Kuwahara will treat us to dinner." Bunta Marui encouraged the young man from Kyoto by patting him on the shoulder.

"Eh?! When did I say..."

Before Jack Kuwahara finished speaking, Kirihara Akashi said energetically: "Shuttlecock or something, No.1 is very simple, isn't it?!"

"Li Haida's shuttlecock record is 37 hours, [-] minutes and [-] seconds. This result is not too outstanding." Liu Lianer kindly provided information.

"Higure-kun, please do your best." Yagyu Hiroshi pushed his glasses.

"We must not have dead ends in our tennis club, and we must not lose even in the shuttlecock game!" Genichiro Sanada said with great momentum.

"Pi yo~"

Sunset and Xiwu were speechless for a while, and said in a warm voice, "Are you all here?"

"Everyone has full confidence in Higurashi," Yukimura Seichi said with a smile on his coat, "However, I believe Higurashi will not let us down, right?"

"……what."

Although there is a vague illusion of being framed, but...

"I'll do my best."

In any case, everyone came to cheer, which made him feel very honored.

Among dozens of young and beautiful girls, the only boy is really eye-catching.

"puff--"

There were faint laughter from the teenagers who were watching.

Apart from being shy at the beginning, Ri Mu Xi Wu, who participated in the game, quickly entered the state.

Although, it's a bit embarrassing to compete with girls like this... But, only by doing your best on the field can you show respect for your opponent.

then……

"Three hours and four 10 minutes. Congratulations to Rimu Xiwu from Group C of the second year for breaking the Lihai shuttlecock record and winning the No.1 shuttlecock event!"

Sunset and Xiwu, who hadn't left the field, was surrounded by his competitors—about seven or eight girls.

"Hi Mu Xi Wu-kun, I am Suzuki Hanon, the president of the Feather Shuttlecock Club. Now, on behalf of all our club members, I would like to invite you to join the Feather Shuttlecock Club..." The black-haired girl who took the lead said seriously.

Several other girls echoed in eagerness.

"Please join Higurashi-kun, although our Feather Shuttlecock Club was established just last year, our strength is obvious to all..."

"Please join Higurashi-kun, let's work hard together to promote the sport of shuttlecock and enter the country..."

"Hi Mu-kun..."

In the end, Ri Mu Xi Wu, who was not particularly good at rejecting girls, was able to get out of the siege in a bit of embarrassment with the help of a group of teenagers from the tennis club.

As for him himself, after this tournament, his reputation in Lihai University has grown even more—whether it is the fact that he is the only boy who participated in the shuttlecock competition, or his pretty good shuttlecock kicking skills... really Make people look differently.

Such things made him often teased by his two younger sisters and his teammates in the tennis club.

The more people are laughed at, the more calm Sunset and Xiwu will be.

Tossing and turning without a moon has passed.

The Lihai University Tennis Club crushed the regional qualifiers and the Kanagawa County Tournament all the way. With better results than last year, it broke into the Kanto Tournament with a score of three wins and three wins in each game.

In the middle of the month, the first round of the Kanto Competition will start on the weekend.At the same time, the students of Lihai University ushered in their final exams.
