[Comprehensive] President, come to the bowl

club activity time

When the ball hits the ground, everything is silent.

Ryo Shishido's right hand holding the racket hung down decadently, the sweat dripping from his forehead smudged into a dark water stain on the plastic field, and the blue and yellow tennis ball rolled to his feet.

"The game is over, Shishido VS Taki 7-6."

The non-selected member sitting in the referee's seat announced.

The head of the Shishido Support Group, Aragaki, rubbed the corners of his skirt and slowly let go of his hands, showing a relieved expression.

Even a layman like her can clearly understand that this victory did not come easily.

I don't know when, Taki Oginosuke's game skills have improved by leaps and bounds to such a point that he even pushed Shindo Ryo to a desperate situation.

For a moment, a voice shouted from the bottom of my heart:

"Shishido-kun is going to lose to Taki-kun this time, to Taki-kun."

Fortunately, in the end...

She breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

On the field, Taki Oginosuke awkwardly withdrew his right hand that had been stagnant in mid-air for a long time. He watched Shishido's staggering back, and his deep eyes hid emotions that others could not understand.

"President, it's time for the intermission. I..."

Arisukawa Jun is also paying attention to Shindo Ryo's every move, seeing him refusing to shake hands with Taki Oginosuke, watching him push away Ho Chotaro who came to help him.Aragaki, who was sitting beside her, was so restless that he wished he could rush to where Shishido was in the next second.

Arisukawa Jun reached out to stop Aragaki just before she took action.

"Watch what happens."

The atmosphere in the stadium is indescribably delicate, and there is only a dead end to go there at this time.

It is impossible for Arisukawa Jun to know that his members are in danger of being used as a gas bucket, and let them rush forward.

Aragaki sensed Arisukawa's unshakable will, bit his lower lip and sat back in his original position.

Arisukawa Jun saw Aragaki's grievances in his eyes and didn't say a word.

The regional qualifiers are imminent. If she guessed correctly, today should be the day when the list of players in Group B will be announced.

The Ice Emperor Tennis Club has always had two teams, Group A and Group B.

The so-called Group A is the eight members who are selected, and the specification remains basically unchanged.

The members of the other group are not the same. They are designated by Minister Atobe Keigo. They generally have more strength than the average team members, but they are not qualified for the main selection. They are mainly responsible for various pre-qualification events.

For ordinary players who cannot be selected, this is the only chance they can fight for.

"Now, my uncle is here to announce the roster for the regional qualifiers. Matsumoto & Yokoyama doubles [-]nd, Tanihara & Watanabe doubles [-]st, Kasai singles [-]rd, Taki singles [-]nd, this time the singles [-]st who is in charge of leading the team is..."

Keigo Atobe pointed forward with his right hand, which was originally stroking his hair.

"Shishido Ryo."

Shido Ryo raised his head, his pale lips could not stop murmuring.

"Minister, I..."

Atobe Keigo habitually curled up a bunch of hair and wrapped it between his fingers.

"Huh? My uncle's decision cannot be discussed!"

Ice Emperor Higher Student Union

Outside the window was a sky dyed red by burning clouds. Keigo Atobe stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows with arms folded, as if looking at the distant scenery, surrounded by the silent Jun Arisukawa.The slender shadows of the two cast on the carpet, extending into a converging point in the distance.

"Why, you also want to question my uncle's decision?"

From Arisukawa's point of view, Keigo Atobe's thin lips and slightly raised left eyebrow were reflected in his pupils.

After getting along for many years, even if Atobe is an elusive character, he can always figure out some ways.

According to Arisukawa's shallow understanding, this young master is in a bad mood right now.

It is necessary to protect one's life wisely, and once it gets involved in the affairs of the tennis club, it is not easy to get out of the body.

Arisukawa Jun weighed himself and decided to face the difficulties.

Who told her to be the president of the support club, who else could give her such a thankless job?

"How could it be? As the head of the Atobe Support Team, I must obey all your decisions unconditionally. What's more, your excellent judgment has always surprised me. Arisukawa came here this time to apologize to you .”

"Oh, why don't you tell me how you offended my lord?"

Atobe Keigo turned around with great interest, and there was a hint of probing in his words.

"It was just my act of blocking members from approaching the tennis court during club activities. I was negligent. I beg the president to forgive me."

Noncommittal to Arisukawa's remarks, Atobe stared at her calm face for a moment.Under the gaze of those insightful eyes, there seemed to be no escape for any thoughts.

Simply give up struggling and let him see it thoroughly.

Arisukawa Jun raised his cheeks slightly.

"Anyone can see that you have Xi Chuan's desire to stay out of the matter, as long as that person is not a fool."

"President Atobe's words are not complete. I think not only that I can stay out of the matter, but that members of my support club can stay out of it. After all, as the president of the support club, I can't just watch my own people being treated as venting anger bucket."

Being cautious but being able to decorate his indifferent nature in a high-sounding way is Arisukawa Jun's specialty.

Keigo Atobe commented on this eloquent subordinate.

"Shishido-kun has been sluggish since he lost to Ho-kun at U-17. Presumably, the president of the Atobe also discovered this and wanted to use this opportunity to spur him."

The consistent pace and rational way of thinking are one of the reasons why Keigo Atobe appreciates Arisugawa.

Her gaze never just stays on a certain person. Unlike other support team leaders, Jun Arisukawa can pay attention to the dynamics of each main election without personal emotion.

Hochotaro's improvement in serving stability, Shinobu and Mukahi's undercurrent and Shishido Ryo's current stagnation...

It is precisely because of this that she was able to discover the deep meaning behind Atobe's move in the first place.

Arisukawa Jun is not only the head of the Atobe support team, but also the well-deserved president of the entire tennis club's main election support team.

"You can see clearly."

Atobe Keigo answered concisely, which was affirmation of Arisukawa's guess.

"Since you know my purpose, please restrain those members of your Shishido support team. If they cause trouble, I will never let you go lightly."

The smile on Arisukawa's lips faded away.

"The chairman's desire to protect the tennis club is the same as my desire to protect the support club. If the two conflict, I will not give in."

The dim sunlight shone on Arisugawa's profile.

At this moment, the look in her eyes made people willing to sink.

In the corridor, Yushi Shinobu, who was leaning against the wall, adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, with a smile on his lips.

two days later

The library to the west of the Ice Emperor High School is rarely visited by people, and it is a secluded place suitable for studying and sleeping.

The class on Wednesday is self-study. Jun Arisukawa was appointed by the class tutor to be the person in charge of compiling the graduation photo album of Group H, accompanied by Yushi Ninzu who volunteered for the job.

The two chose a table by the window to sit side by side, each holding a graduation photo album of a different style, which was a souvenir left by their predecessors.Arisukawa Jun browsed casually for a while, and then lost interest in the rigid way of photography.She stopped what she was doing and turned her head to watch Renzu's progress, only to find that this guy was lying on the table sleeping unconsciously.

The photo album borrowed from the library was placed under his chin, and his hands were still folded on the photo album.

He really did whatever he wanted to the point where Arisukawa was amazed.

"President."

Arisugawa Jun followed the prestige, and standing not far away was Aragaki of the Shishido support group.

He nodded slightly.

"Aragaki, what are you holding in your hand?"

Seeing the movement of Aragaki's ears, Arisukawa Jun realized that he had unconsciously lowered his voice.

She turned her head and stared at Ren Zuo for a moment, seeing him click his mouth and adjust his sleeping position, continuing to entangle with the dream.

Aragaki approached, moved a chair from the desk next to him and sat opposite Arisugawa.

She handed the brochure in her arms to Arisugawa's eyes.

"President, do you think our method is useful? I mean, can it encourage Shishido-kun?"

Aragaki is the most reserved of the support team leaders in the third grade, and this has something to do with who she supports.

Shishido-kun, probably the one in the main election who is very unfriendly to girls.

Thinking of his sluggish appearance these days, it's really a bit of an eyesore.

Arisukawa Jun opened the booklet.

The crowded signatures on the title page made her hand pause.

Those neat or graceful handwriting are the masterpieces of all the members of the Shishido support team.

In the blank space below the title page is written in black marker:

[Shishido-kun, come on!We will always support you. ]

At the end of this sentence is a Q-version head portrait of Ryo Shishido holding a racket, and even the OK bandage on his forehead and his inverted hat are carefully traced.

There was a warm current in her heart, even if she was just a bystander.

"Did you draw it?"

Aragaki nodded shyly, with a barely visible blush on his face.

Arisukawa Jun smiled at her, his gaze stayed on the black spot in front of her eyes.

"How long did it take to make this?"

"I stayed up late yesterday to finish it. Shishido-kun is not in a good state of mind recently, so we want to make it as soon as possible and give it to him. However, he may not accept it."

Frowning for the hesitation in Aragaki's tone, Arisukawa closed the booklet and said:

"Isn't it great? If even the team leader doesn't have the confidence to connect with Zhengxuan, let alone the members of your support team."

Xin Yuan was stunned for a while when she heard the words, then she nodded shyly when she came back to her senses:

"Our feelings must be conveyed to Shishido-kun!"

Watching Aragaki's back disappear at the door of the library, Arisukawa yawned lazily and planned to leave.

The wrist was suddenly pulled lightly by an external force, and she was forced to sit on the stool again unprepared.

He glared at Yuuji Ninzu angrily.

"It's so heartless. Is Xiaorun going to leave me alone?"

Arisukawa struggled tentatively, but Renzuzu's left hand remained motionless.

"Why, don't you pretend to be asleep?"

No embarrassment could be found on Ninzu Yuuji's face, he tried again to pull Arisukawa Jun closer.

"Tell me, who are you connected with."

The tips of their noses were just about to touch each other, and the close distance made Arisukawa want to dodge.

Their breathing gradually converges to the same rate.

Under Shinobu's aggressive gaze, Arisukawa's heart beat uncontrollably.

Hidden in the eyes behind the lens is the emotion that cannot be understood by outsiders.

Under the slightly drunken sunlight, the cherry tree planted next to the library bloomed its first pink flower.

club activity time

There is a lot of tension in the stadium.

The tense atmosphere was on the verge of breaking out. Both the girls from the support club and the non-selected members who were watching around were all silent, as if they didn't dare to say more.

The bottom line is that the president of the support club, Arisugawa, and one of the main candidates, Shishido Ryo, are in a confrontation.

Kojima, the head of Xiangfu's support group, followed behind Arisukawa to push aside the crowd of onlookers, and walked a few steps quickly to help Aragaki who had fallen to the ground.

There are countless scraps of paper scattered around her, the words that once gathered the efforts of all members of the Shishido support team, now only fragmented words remain.

"What are you doing, do you want to stand up for her? Or did my words hit your sore spot? Isn't the support club just a thing you built when you were bored? You are obviously a layman, but you still pretend to be like you are too many or indispensable, really. Laughing dead. I, Shishido Ryo, don't need your cheap sympathy."

What he said without leaving any room, Shido Ryo's haughty expression was followed by his self-esteem.

Ho Chotaro who was standing beside him tugged at his senior's sleeve in embarrassment, reminding him in a low voice:

"Senior, you've said too much."

Keigo Atobe leaned on the barbed wire, watching the smell of gunpowder smoke in the stadium.

In my impression, it was the first time that Arisukawa's support club had a dispute with his tennis club members.

He still remembers Arisukawa's declaration a few days ago.

[If these two conflict, then I will not budge. ]

Then let him experience what it means to "not give in".

Anyway, there just happened to be a suitable candidate to give that guy Shishido a slap in the face.

Arisukawa should be familiar with this kind of thing, right?

After putting on the high heels, Arisugawa was about the same height as Shishido, and she calmly looked back at Shishido.

"Please forgive my rudeness, the current Shishido-kun is really inferior!"

"you……"

The person who was poked in the sore foot was Shishido Ryo. He never expected that there would be a day when someone would use the word "poor".

In fact, Shishido Ryo also understands that he looks like a defeated lost dog.

Losing to Chotaro in the U-17 joint camp, the advantage over Taki no longer exists, and even the improvement of his skills has encountered a bottleneck.

He was just looking for an opportunity to make use of the problem.

"Shishido-kun, if you want to trample on yourself, please feel free, but the intentions of my support club members cannot be trampled on by you at will, or even torn to pieces."

Arisukawa Jun glanced at Aragaki who was tearing beside him but couldn't bear it, and continued:

"There are many members in your support team who have followed you since the first day of your country. Three years ago, you lost in the capital competition and were once excluded from the main selection list, but none of them applied to transfer to the team. In the Ice Emperor Tennis Club , you are not the best. Have you ever thought about why they choose to support you instead of others? Aragaki once told me that it is because you never admit defeat, as long as you look at your back sweating on the court Courage can be gained."

"I am indeed an outsider, but I only need to know one thing."

Arisukawa Jun suddenly reached out and grabbed Shindo Ryo's uniform and pulled it down.

"That's why Shishido Ryo doesn't deserve the members of my support club to support him!"

Loosening Shishido's clothes, Arisukawa turned around haughtily with a look of hesitating to speak.

"Then, as Shishido-kun wishes, the Shishido support team will be disbanded!"

There was an uproar.

Is Shindo Ryo going to be the first main candidate to be removed from the support list by President Arisugawa?

Atobe Keigo rubbed his chin with his right hand, looking at Arisukawa with surprise and appreciation in his eyes.

Of course he didn't believe that Arisukawa Jun would really disband the Shishido support team as she said.

Seeing Dai Shishido's enlightened look, Atobe knew that the trick was beginning to work.

Arisukawa Jun, who was walking slowly, stood still in front of Atobe, and she bent slightly:

"President, I excuse myself first."

Just before Arisukawa raised his head, Atobe Keigo also lowered his head and whispered in her ear:

"You really never let me down."

Immediately afterwards, he waved his hand casually and added loudly:

"My uncle allows you to miss the second half."

The last thing that fell into Atobe's eyes was the serene curve of her side face.

Has this woman ever been poked into a soft spot?

Atobe Keigo was not interested in pursuing it, and Fue was a little bit conflicted when he saw the mess Arisukawa had messed up.

Pick up the pieces?

This is not something a director of a film should do, it is too inconsistent with his gorgeous style.

Atobe looked around, searching for the pseudo-gentleman with glasses.

"Atobu, I'll leave early, and the basic training will be tripled tomorrow."

"...Ninzu Yushi, get the hell out of my way!"

Amid Keigo Atobe's roar regardless of his image, Renzu gradually drifted away.

As a result of being shoved and shoved by Shishido just now, Aragaki's knees were oozing with blood, and Kojima took him to the infirmary to be disinfected.

The early departure of the support club president and the two team leaders caused confusion among the members in the auditorium. In the end, the remaining team leaders discussed again and again and unanimously decided to organize the support club members to leave first.

The finalists in the stadium looked at each other in blank dismay.

Hochotaro bent down to pick up the scraps of paper scattered on the ground, and could barely make out the word Aragaki.

"Senior, is this the signature of Aragaki-senpai?"

>>>

A few meters away, Ninazu Yuuji stopped in pursuit of Arisugawa.

He poked his head out from behind a cherry blossom tree.

Arisukawa, who was standing at the school gate, seemed to be talking to someone.

A woman in a trench coat takes off her sunglasses.

"Xiaorun, don't you come here unharmed?"

"Welcome home, Miss Chun."
