what tennis

◎Bad association◎

Perhaps because it is close to the water park, even the scorching air is filled with moisture, making it less dry.

Mari Nishijima slowly wiped her hair, her wet skirt pressed against her knees.

Suddenly, she remembered what she hadn't done before, and said, "Ah, that's right—"

The look of her suddenly remembering something made Echizen Ryuya's expression slightly tense, and the back of his hand holding the disposable towel was tense.

Nishijima Mari: "I saw a few boys with tennis rackets stopping you this morning. Are they making things difficult for you?"

Echizen Ryuya looked at Mari Nishijima in surprise.

Mari Nishijima has a sincere face and a serious expression. As long as Echizen Ryuya nods, she will find a way to send all the bad boys who blocked her boyfriend (Mari Nishijima thinks) into the bureau for tea.

Echizen Longya laughed dumbly: "...No, they just asked me for directions."

Mari Nishijima: "Ask for directions?"

Echizen Ryuya: "Well, ask me if I know how to get to Qinggaku."

Of course, that group of people had no chance to trouble the Qingxue tennis team.

Echizen Ryuya was very free, so after spending 2 minutes teaching the juniors how to respect their seniors, he unceremoniously directed them to run to help him—mainly his girlfriend—buy breakfast.

Mari Nishijima believed in Echizen Ryuya's nonsense again without knowing it.

She rubbed her half-dried hair and said, "I see. Qingxue's tennis club is indeed very famous... I thought you were in trouble."

Echizen Ryuya's tensed hands slowly relaxed.While wiping his hair, he lowered his eyelashes, pretending to raise a casual tone inadvertently: "I thought you were going to continue the previous topic."

Mari Nishijima: "Ah? What was the topic before?"

Echizen Ryuya: "...you were on a water slide just now and asked if we've seen it before."

"Oh, that." Mari Nishijima scratched his cheek, a little embarrassed, "I asked you that suddenly just now, you should be surprised, right?"

"I was dizzy from being turned on the slide. I don't know why such a thought came to my mind. Just pretend I didn't ask."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and rolled up the corner of her wet skirt, wringing out the water inside manually.

L.

The water that was wrung out dripped onto the hot concrete floor along her fingers, and was quickly evaporated by the temperature.Echizen Ryuya paused when he wiped his hair, and his expression was unnatural for a moment.

But he quickly covered up his emotions at this moment, and put on a nonchalant look again: "The stall selling double crepes has started."

Nishijima Mari's attention was immediately diverted: "Eh? Yes—then let's go buy food!"

After carefully researching the flavors, Mari Nishijima chose a double flavor of strawberry and orange.

Echizen Ryuya chose a single flavor of vanilla.

After getting the dessert and paying for it, she held the crepe in both hands and took a bite; it tasted good, sweet and sour, and the cream was also very fragrant.

She glanced at Echizen Ryuya next to her.

Echizen Ryuya held the crepe in one hand and the phone in the other, and casually lowered his head and took a bite.

The color of his lips was very light, and the corners of his upturned lips were stained with cream, but he didn't notice it at all. After swallowing what was in his mouth, he lowered his head and took another lazily bite.

Mari Nishijima: "I thought you would choose the orange flavor."

Echizen Longya looked away from the phone screen: "Oranges are just my favorite fruit, it doesn't mean that I am already in the shape of oranges."

Nishijima Mari: "...that statement is so strange."

Echizen Ryuya: "What do you say?"

Mari Nishijima stopped, kicked the small stones piled up on the road, and muttered, "That's right—it turned into the shape of an orange, what a terrible word."

Although she is still an inexperienced first love contestant.

But this metaphor has already caused the contents of twenty notebooks to whiz past her mind.

Echizen Ryuya raised his eyebrows and stared at Mari Nishijima.

Obviously Nishijima Mari didn't express the subtext, but Echizen Ryuya's expression always made her feel that Echizen Ryuya had read her bad thoughts through the air.

Mari Nishijima coughed dryly: "Shall we go play the mirror maze next? There is air conditioning inside."

Echizen Ryuya didn't pursue it, and agreed with a half-smile: "Of course."

The crepes were way too big and the sugar was a little too high.At least for Nishijima Mari who basically never goes out, this is the case.

When they decided to go to the mirror maze, Mari Nishijima still had three quarters of the crepe in her hand.

When Ryuya Echizen finished his share of crepes, Mari Nishijima still had two-thirds of the crepes left in his hand.

When they reached the entrance of the mirror maze, Mari Nishijima still had half of the crepes in his hand.

She licked her lips, feeling her stomach was already the shape of a crepe.

The staff glanced at the crepe in her hand, and told with a smile: "You can bring food into the mirror maze, but guests must dispose of food waste by themselves, and don't throw it around."

Mari Nishijima reluctantly nodded: "Okay."

Echizen Ryuya: "Can you still eat?"

Nishijima Mari looked serious: "I can eat the rest while walking to digest food."

Echizen Ryuya obviously didn't believe her nonsense.

He even showed a more obvious smile, and Mari Nishijima reasonably suspected that his smile was mocking his own stomach.

But she had no proof, so she lowered her head angrily and took a big bite of the crepe.

Vomit—it’s so sweet, I want to vomit.

I, Mari Nishijima, even if I am stuffed to death today, I will finish this crepe!

Stubbornly holding the crepe paper, she strode into the mirror maze.

Two seconds into the entrance of the maze, Mari Nishijima backed out, hitting Echizen Ryuya's chest with his back.

Echizen Ryuya still maintained a decent and charming smile on his face, looking very gentle and scum, with a very handsome face.

He held Nishijima Mari's shoulder: "What's wrong?"

Nishijima Mari's tone was weak: "...There are so many me in it, I feel dizzy."

Those who have never really entered the mirror maze will not be able to experience the feeling of dizziness when looking up and down in all directions.Under the refraction of countless mirrors, it is impossible to tell whether there is a road or no road ahead.

Echizen Ryuya lowered his head, looked at his girlfriend who was pretending to be weak, and smiled all over his face: "There are two entrances from here, where is Truth-chan going to go?"

Mari Nishijima pulled herself together, and opened her eyes wide to make a careful identification—she only saw countless mirrors facing each other and showing her and Echizen Ryuya standing side by side.

It was so hard to see that the eyes were going blind, and it was hard to find the two entrances from the subtle differences in the mirror reflections.

Mari Nishijima thought about it: "Two entrances...is there only one way to the end?"

The staff explained with a smile: "Both roads can lead to the key point, but the distance is different."

"The first person to get out of the maze every day will have the chance to win a mysterious prize."

Mystery Prize - This gimmick caught the attention of Mari Nishijima.

Her eyes lit up, and she eagerly asked the staff for details.Echizen Ryuya stood at the entrance without much interest, looking at the precautions posted on the wall.

Occasionally, he would look away from his attention.

The young man's gaze would fall on Nishijima Mari without hesitation—when Nishijima was busy talking to the staff, he watched Nishijima quietly. Under the sunlight, his light amber eyes were abnormal. beauty.

"Long Ya!" Nishijima Mari ran back excitedly, still holding the game brochure in his hand, "Let's go separately? This way, we might pass the level faster!"

"The prize is a new game cartridge!"

She looked high-spirited, like some kind of flower blooming brightly, so bright and vivid that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

Echizen Ryuya suddenly felt some pain in his eyes.

He seemed to be aching from such a bright beauty, even his heart felt uncomfortable.He felt a slight pain, but he couldn't take his eyes off.

When Mari Nishijima ran in front of him, he smiled unconsciously, lowered his eyes, and agreed to Mari Nishijima's proposal: "Okay."
