Time is like a song

The national competition has begun.

In the semi-finals, we met Apple Orchard again. Nitta-senpai thought about it for a long time and asked me if I could be transferred to the third singles to avoid Akiha Monobe in the first singles.I raised my hand to press the hat and agreed.I'm not the kind of idiot with high self-esteem. Since they want to get a higher ranking by using team competition tactics, it's okay for me to agree.

As a result, Li Hai went straight to the next three sets to qualify, and the red-haired head Monobe Akiba never had a chance to play.

I looked at the auditorium, and found that Yukimura and the others rarely showed up.It seems that entering the intense stage of the national competition, they can no longer easily win.I shrugged and went to the penalty run myself.Let Sanada know that I won this way, and he will definitely send me running to my death.

But in fact, this is the best way to fight for the women's tennis for the time being.I am not sure that I can win the opponent's first singles every time. For example, in the round of [-], I only narrowly beat Matsudaira Yuu of Sitenbaoji [-]-[-] after getting two lucky balls in a row.What's more, I may not even have the chance to play, just like in the semi-finals, Li Haida was defeated by the opponent Liujiao Middle School in three straight sets.

In the third place match, I was transferred to the singles three again. As a result, in the doubles one, me and Nitta-senpai's singles two, Lihai University became the third runner-up of this year's national championship with a score of [-] to [-].

"Go over to the Men's Tennis! The awards ceremony is after the championship game, so it's not a problem for you to come back after watching the Men's Tennis Championship." Senior Nitta patted me on the shoulder while packing up in the player area.

"Well," Sayaka Koguchi, a third-year doubles student, pointed to Akane Niimura, a second-year reserve player, "Akane will make a video, and you can rewatch the women's tennis championship match later."

Akane Shinmura smiled and raised the video recorder in her hand to me.

I didn't talk nonsense, put on my hat and went to the men's tennis court next door.When I arrived, the competition of Lihai University had not started yet.I reflexively wanted to put my trouser pockets, only to find that I was still wearing the women's tennis team uniform skirt.Whoever designed tennis skirts for women's tennis players is either a sexist or a pervert.

"Makoto." Renji waved to me.

"The season championships here are really long enough." I went to sit next to Renji and looked at the Hyotei Gakuen and Nagoya Hoshitoku Gakuen in the field.

"Both teams are equally capable. What's going on with you?"

"We won Joan of Arc."

Yukimura, who was sitting in the front row, asked, "What's your score?"

"...to win six to four."

"Ping, you are still so weak."

"sorry."

"Before our race starts, you go and run twenty laps."

"Yes." If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come here so soon.

I was running, and ran into the Sitianbaosi female net who was sitting with the Sitianbaosi male net.Matsudaira, whom I met in the top [-], looked at me: "Pira, what are you doing?"

"You're blind." Anyone with eyes knows I'm running.

She gritted her teeth, "I'm asking you, why are you here? Aren't you going to the third place?"

"Nonsense." Of course I came here after the game.

"..."

"You," a boy from Shiten Saiji Men's Net laughed and said, "You're Li Hai Taiping who defeated Yuu?"

I nodded.

"Ping-san is very good!" He smiled friendly, "My name is Kuranosuke Shiraishi, and I'm the director of Men's Net. Nice to meet you."

"...Hello." I pointed to Li Haida who was sitting on the other side, "I'm not very good, because I was punished by the minister to run away."

Matsudaira Yuu's eyes widened: "You lost the Season Championship?"

"no."

"..."

I nodded to them and continued to run.In the Lihai Men's Tennis Championship, the opponent is Sitianbaosi. I don't want to talk too much with them before the match.Not necessary.

When I came back from the run, the men's tennis season championship was already divided.This year's runner-up is Nagoya Hoshitoku.

"We're going down." Lian Er handed me a towel to wipe my sweat.

I nodded, "If Lianji loses, go and run a hundred laps."

He smiled slightly, "No problem." His confident temperament was palpable at this moment.

"Long victory! Lihaida! Long victory, long victory Lihaida!" Under the enthusiastic cheers of the cheerleaders, Yukimura led the first-choice players into the arena.Even if he didn't say a word, his facial features are still as beautiful as a girl's, and no one can ignore Yukimura's child of god aura.The academic field is the world of Lihai.

As expected, I was playing the game of chasing the deer in the world.

I looked at Kirihara who was sitting in the auditorium like me, "You're jealous, the backup in the backup."

Kirihara said loudly: "Next year," he pointed at Yukimura who was paying respects to Shitenbaoji, "it must be me standing there!"

Marui, who was eating bubble gum, said leisurely, "From the first day he joined the club, he said that he wanted to defeat those three people, just treat him as nonsense."

I put my chin on the railing, "I didn't even think he was telling the truth."

Kuwahara once again shouldered the heavy responsibility of controlling Ramage Kirihara.

Then, as expected, Li Haida completed the second consecutive championship in the national competition.While the audience was cheering, Nioh hooked Yagyu's shoulders, looked at Yukimura and the others standing on the championship platform, and said, "We will be standing there next year~"

Yagyu, Marui, Kuwahara and Kirihara also looked at the Big Three of Lihai on the podium at the same time.

I know the plot of next year, but I still don't believe Lihai will lose.

"Lihai Big Three in a row," I stood up, "There is no dead end."

"Long victory! Lihaida! Long victory, long victory Lihaida!" The cheerleaders were cheering.

After returning to the women's tennis venue to accept the awards, Nitta-senpai said that she was going to celebrate and held a meeting of the women's tennis department.All non-selected and elected members are required to attend, and I was rarely invited.I didn't refuse, just nodded my head.After watching the men's tennis match, I suddenly wanted to know what it's like to be the champion. I really wanted to be the king of men's and women's tennis in Haida.

If Sayuri Imagawa and the others form the team, I don't mind trying the hard work that Yukimuraguchi said.After trying my best, I don't know what kind of answer I will get?

After eating, Nitta-senpai led the team back to the women's tennis club room of Lihai University, and everyone sat on the floor.It's the first time I came in, and I feel... It's really far worse than the men's tennis club.Even the lockers seem to be matched with the women's net that has been in decline for a long time like the setting sun, and the door of the locker must not fall off.Tangtang is a club with 43 members, but there is not even a chair in the club room.Nitta-senpai, it's really hard for you to be like this.

In all fairness, Lihai University's women's tennis team has entered the national competition every year, which is considered excellent in the academic world. Unfortunately, Lihai University is a strong sports school. The school board does not pay attention to such a small score. .

That's why Nitta-senpai didn't hesitate to beg a schoolgirl like me to join the women's tennis.

In addition to reviewing this year's competitions, this meeting also discussed the matter of the third-year seniors leaving the club after the spring break.

"I propose that Mayumi Hira be the minister." Sayuri Imagawa, who has always been the candidate for the next minister, suddenly raised her hand.

Nitta Sanae looked at me, I stood up, and glanced at the righteous Huya girl, "Imagawa, don't think that I will humbly give you my seat." I turned to the staff, "I want to be a minister, there is Those who disagree can challenge me at any time. I don’t have time to chat with you. What I want is training and next year’s national championship.

Sayuri Imagawa raised her hand, "I have no objection."

Yui Yuta of doubles [-] also expressed no objection.

Nitta-senpai looked at Aoi Matsutani and Sayaka Koguchi in doubles, and Mirai Utsunomiya, and immediately said, "There is no objection to the third-year main election."

"I," Akane Niimura, the former singles third and current second-year reserve player, stood up and said, "I want to play with Ping again."

"Okay." I picked up the racket and walked out of the court.

Of course I won Akane Shinmura.

In the third semester, I will officially become the new minister of women's tennis.

I glanced at Akane Shinmura, who had already retreated to the queue, then put the racket on my shoulder, and said, "This year's women's tennis game is dead, what I want is straight sets and [-]-[-]. The men's tennis team still has to time the pervert." Don’t worry about the way you do it, I won’t follow suit──I don’t care if you torture your opponent for an hour, I don’t care about the way you play, I only want [-]-[-].” I looked at Nitta-senpai.

Nitta Sanae nodded, "Very well, it's settled like this, the meeting is adjourned."

I raised my racket to indicate, "Those who intend to become the main election next year, stay for running, and prepare mentally for training throughout the Spring Festival holiday. If you don't want to be the main election, it's okay if you don't come. I won't record the absentee list. I'm not that free."

After all, I put down my racket and went for a run.I have always lost to the men's tennis because of physical problems. Now that the schedule is over, it is time to step up training.On this day, everyone stayed.Afterwards, the third-grade seniors only showed up the next day.Seeing that I really didn't call names or curse people, the first graders also gradually disappeared, and some of the second graders also left, or disappeared occasionally.The only ones who don't fall for a day are Yui Tamada, Sayuri Imagawa, and Akane Shinkawa who are selected by Yuan Zhengxuan, and a first-year student who plays tennis very badly, who is born in Yuanya.

"Maumi." One day, Renji stopped me from inside the tennis court as I was running outside.Men's tennis training has never stopped these days.

I stopped and signaled Sayuri Imagawa to continue running with the others.

"You women's tennis, do you have a goal recently?"

I nodded, "Yeah."

"Then you are leaving the men's net, right?"

"I want to train with you in the morning." I tilted my head and wiped the sweat on my sleeves, "I can't abuse myself, I want you to help me."

Renji smiled, "Of course it's no problem. Mayumi is motivated again, that's great."

"It's just that you are too motivated."

He patted me on the head with a smile, "Mayumi will become a minister, I always feel a bit out of touch."

"I think back when Lian Ji was no longer Lian Ji's head, I also felt that it was very inconsistent. The squinting eyes complemented by the lamppost's figure and the sun helmet hairstyle, it was a bit frustrating to be inconsistent."

Lian Er gritted her teeth, I shrugged.It was his poisonous tongue first.

On the day before the start of the third semester, I left the staff for a meeting after the training.

"First, the women's tennis will resume training five days a week, even on weekend mornings." I leaned on the fence pole of the tennis court and said to them, "It's the same as the current rules. Those who don't come don't need to ask for leave. Yours I will use the results of the practice games every Friday as the basis for club results, and I will not record such troublesome things as attendance rate. If you do not attend the practice games, you do not need to ask for leave, and it will be automatically calculated as zero points.”

"Minister!" A second-year student raised his hand, "Aren't you being unfair to the members whose strength is relatively low?"

"Practice will make progress, this is my creed." I patted my shoulder with my racket, "If you feel that no matter how you practice, you can only be the bottom one, or if you are not interested in practicing, you can retreat by yourself. The tennis club doesn't need trash."

I saw Huya girl wanted to say something, but she held back after all.

"Secondly, I will have another practice match before the end of the third semester. The one with the best score in this competition will become the main candidate for the next year. However, those who fail can challenge the main candidate at any time until I say challenge Until the end of the period. Third, non-selected players are not allowed to wear women's tennis team uniforms. Except for competitions, the officially selected players can wear the team uniforms or not. Fourth, you can combine singles and doubles freely, and I will not interfere. But qualifying for doubles in the practice match is a matter for two people, and there is no single possibility of promotion.”

Everyone was in an uproar, and I glanced at them, "The last point, fifth, Sayuri Imagawa will continue to serve as the deputy minister. If you have any objections, you can go to Imagawa, and Imagawa himself will not object. The above, the meeting will be adjourned."

I swung my racket, picked up the tennis bag on the sidelines and walked out of the tennis court.After training in the morning, Yukimura and the others also went to the school gym to practice in the afternoon, and they are waiting for me outside to have dinner together.Their third-year seniors have also retired, and Nioh, Yagyu, Marui, and Kuwahara have all been selected, and there is only one Kirihara left, and Yukimura is still holding back.Tonight, I will also practice kendo with Sanada.

I stretched my arms upward and yawned.exhausting.

"Ping." Sayuri Imagawa chased her out.She looked at the male net members beside me and hesitated for a moment.

I waved my hand, signaling to her that it's okay to speak up.

"Ping," she frowned, "if you do this, I think many members will not be able to bear it and will quit."

"I didn't stipulate that they have to report for seven days. If you don't think you don't need this kind of training, you don't have to come."

"but……"

"I never thought of asking the members to stay." I looked at Sayuri Imagawa, and Yui Yui and Akane Niimura who also came, "You have also lost, I thought you would understand my approach. Those who play tennis with a smile and laugh can set up a tennis club. Here, it is the team that wants to play. I am not denying the club style of play, they have their own fun, but also, the fun of the team is not something they can I understand."

Sayuri Imagawa bit her lip and finally lowered her head, "Yes, Minister."

I stretched myself and left with Nanwang.

Sanada asked me to stop when I practiced swinging the empty sword at the dojo at night.

"Your mind is not calm, it will be useless to practice today."

"I'm a little worried about women's tennis, but it doesn't hinder my own practice." After that, I took a deep breath to calm my thoughts, then raised my hand and continued to swing my sword.

Sanada didn't let me stop.

One week after school started, seven sophomores came to my class together and said they wanted to withdraw from the department.I wiped my sleepy eyes, yawned, and glanced at them.

"Resignation." I threw the resignation letter in my hand, "I'm sorry, I don't know you, and I don't know that you are also from the women's tennis team." I waved my hand, "You can go to the deputy minister for these things. It's not a big deal."

"What?" The leader, Oda Yuna, put her hands on her hips, her eyes widened in disbelief, "Masamumi Hira, have you never thought about self-examination? We are seven second graders who are going to retire now! It's the second year Half of the grade members!"

"There are only seven players on the field." I held my head, "I am asking for the way I have been training. Facts have proved that I am better than you. I don't think I need to reflect. I have not even scored a goal in my hands. Oda Yuna-san who has been here before."

"You! You don't even know what team spirit is!"

"I don't know, but I don't think you know either, Yuna Oda-san who only showed up on the tennis court for half a day all week."

She blushed, "You said you didn't force us to attend."

"The problem is that you don't have the strength and you don't want to practice." I curled my lips.

They finally walked away angrily.

When I stepped into the women's tennis club room after school that day, the atmosphere was obviously bad.

Accumulated so far, half of the second-year students and three first-year students have retired from the club. The only ones who regularly attend training are me, Sayuri Imagawa, Yui Tamada, Akane Shinmura, and a few first-year students in Yayuanya.
