must love tennis

"As expected of the king, Li Haida... so sharp." Dashi hurriedly brought Longma back to the sidelines, with lingering fear in his heart.

He couldn't help but glance back, the group of people on the opposite side were indeed whispering to each other, their eyes swept over frequently, full of probing meaning.

Ryoma still had no self-knowledge, blinking his eyes and asked, "They all seem to know me?"

Fuji smiled wryly: "That's right."

It's not just acquaintance, I'm afraid I even know your secret clearly.

……

The Lihai Grand Candidates who are all insiders are indeed a bit confused now.

Kirihara's undisguised expression of looking over his head was so eye-catching that Liu had no choice but to hold his head down and push him back to the chair to sit down.

"No matter what you usually think, this is a game, so be serious." He reminded lightly.

"Yeah," Marui said as if he had a lot of experience. "Girls like boys who are serious. If you can't win—heh heh."

"I know that! But obviously, the seniors are also very curious!" Kirihara rubbed his head in dissatisfaction.

"Cough, cough..." King Ren coughed, and out of a little conscience, he sent a little hint of his eyes to the younger generation.

Kirihara immediately became hoarse, and slowly looked at his minister.

Yukimura stood on the edge of the coach's bench in the field, with a team uniform jacket on his shoulders, not arrogant, although he was not more serious than Sanada, he would definitely not be looked down upon.Even his gentle face in the past, there wasn't much smile at this moment, which made his scalp tingle slightly.

Sure enough, all he had in his eyes was the outcome.Even if the opposite is a girl who is several times cuter than usual...

After all, an opponent is an opponent.You can only think about other things if you defeat it first.

Kirihara thought about it, but decided to admit his mistake, and lowered his head: "Mr. Yukimura..."

"It seems that something happened to them." Yukimura said, his voice was very calm, and he looked at Qingxue's preparation bench thoughtfully.

In their view, Qingxue's feeling today is indeed very strange.

I had already prepared for the tense competition before the game, but the opponent seemed to have not received the signal, and they all ignored it—as if it had been reversed, Qingxue was the king who had the upper hand and calmly waited for the challenger to shake his position. .

No, judging from the expressions of the few of them, they were not really that calm, but looked very nervous.

What are you nervous about?

"To be precise, there should be something wrong with that little girl." Kuwahara said, "Didn't everyone already find out? Echizen's eyes... are completely different from before."

It was originally a cat with its teeth and claws, but today it looks like... a newborn kitten, with clean and innocent eyes, as if it has no understanding of the complicated human world.

Marui Bunta also said: "We won't be the only ones who found out, right? After all, he was such a high-profile person before... Look, Atobe has passed!"

……

As one of the only insiders other than Aigaku, Atobe could tell at a glance that Ryoma must not have recovered his memory—at least, not fully remembered.At this time, she was sitting on the sidelines surrounded by seniors, but she was no stranger to holding a racket.

He walked over, raised his hand to cover the back of her head from behind and held it down, and said casually, "How's the situation?"

Of course, Ryoma couldn't answer him. Although Atobe was concerned about her, Tezuka was the one who asked the question.

Tezuka, who was about to play on the third singles, had already taken off his jacket, took out his racket, looked up at him, and before answering, Atobe said, "Even so, do you insist on letting her play?"

He restrained his smile, and his expression was a little serious.

Otherwise, Tezuka wouldn't be playing now.

Of course, there was a foreshadowing of the previous semi-finals, and the audience will not be too surprised by this. On the contrary, because they will see the strong confrontation between Sanada and Tezuka, they are very excited, and the atmosphere has been pushed to a high point at the beginning. .

The answer is already well known to both parties.

Tezuka knew that there was no need to repeat it, after all, he was never a person who likes to waste words.

Atobe didn't mind, and took advantage of the fact that Ryoma hadn't consciously resisted his "devil's claws", so he took the opportunity to rub a few more.Her hair is soft and docile, and feels quite nice to the touch.

"It's still weird for you to be like this."

"What..." Ryoma puffed up his face and glared at him.

After playing for a while, Atobe lost interest, sighed, and looked at the Qingxue people. The solemn expressions on their faces made him guess most of them: "So, there is still hope?"

Taocheng hesitated: "We tried it yesterday, and it seems to be useful. But I always feel that there is still something missing..."

"Isn't it intense enough?" Atobe raised his eyebrows, "You probably didn't try your best?"

"You mean—" Dashi seemed to understand something, and suddenly raised his head.

"Isn't there no other way now? Since there are signs of recovery, naturally we can't let go of the last hope, right?" Atobe knew this and didn't need to remind them himself.

What can awaken Ryoma's deepest memory of tennis is probably not the ordinary sparring with the seniors in the school, but the more intense, life-and-death contest with the opponent.

What's more, they still have more important opponents waiting today.

There's really no way out, just do what's good to the end.Atobe thought about it, and slowly stood up again: "Hey Taocheng, come with me, you just need to play your game well."

He pulled Longma up, and she turned to look at him: "Where are you going?"

Long Ma was confused, and stood up obediently, but before leaving, he looked at everyone in Qingxue and asked cautiously: "Is it okay?"

"Go," Fuji replied gently, "Leave this to us."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Atobe generously took their little ace from the Seigaku team, and passed Tezuka in front of the steps.

"Don't lose." Atobe said aggressively.It seems that he invested in the Qingxue tennis team's game and has become their important shareholder.

Tezuka paused as he walked towards the arena, and looked back with a solemn expression: "I'm sorry, Atobe."

He snorted noncommittally, waiting for Taocheng to squeeze out from the crowd.

Apparently, the other students of Qingxue still didn't understand what happened, and they were asking him all the time, Taocheng waved his hand with difficulty and explained: "It's not too late, everyone, we have to hurry up..."

The players sympathetically moved out of the way.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Horio and the others chased after him.

"Senior A Tao, what happened?"

"Yeah, Ryoma...what's the matter?"

For them who are both first graders, they spend more time with Ryoma than others, and understand her personality better.They were also the first to get nervous, and their concerned eyes were not adulterated at all.

While walking, Taocheng hastily explained the simple ins and outs to Horio and the others, only concealing the secret of disguised as a man: "We must help Echizen recover his memory as soon as possible. If we can find our former opponent——"

"Understood." Shengxiong nodded vigorously, "Leave the matter of finding someone to us!"

"Fortunately, it's today," Horio thumped his palms, "Didn't we all come here to watch the finals!"

At the edge of the auditorium in the back row, Shinozu had already been waiting there, followed by Hijiruo who was pulled over by him from his seat, still confused.

"Just this one, isn't it enough?"

"Well," Atobe snapped his fingers, "Huadi——"

He pointed to the three of Horio: "Go and help them."

"Yes."

With just one look, Huadi understood and took the lead, but it was the three first-year students who froze for a moment before following in a panic.

"Wait, Senior Huadi—you're acting too fierce!"

Are you going to kidnap those players? !

……

It's really possible.If it was an order from Atobe, Kawachi would carry it out no matter what.

But Atobe didn't make it that clear, so he slowed down and let the three first-year students take the lead.

Although they were young, they were full of enthusiasm and vitality. They ran up and down the auditorium, like collecting stamps of the whole map, and found their opponents one by one, from the regional qualifiers to the national competition...

Even, with Huadi's help, they found Yakutsu hiding in a dark passage and smoking.

"Huh—" Horio was sweating profusely from running, stopped to take a breath, wiped the sweat with his knees, and said with emotion, "It's like playing a galgame, you have to get through the HE ending of each strategy character to get the CG picture……"

"No, even if it's a galgame," Katsuro couldn't help but say, "there's no operation that brings everyone together in one go!"

Shengxiong concluded: "It's the Shura field."

Huadi: "..."

Huadi didn't say anything, just watched them quietly.Such a little amount of exercise is nothing to him at all, and he always keeps a blank face, calm and calm.

Then, Yiwu Shenji complained unceremoniously: "I didn't say that, you guys know too much, don't you?"

Are you so well versed in the essence of GALGAME at such a young age?

Really, a little scary...

"That's right, what are you talking about about the strategy game?" Fuji Yuta was inexplicably upset, "What did you think of us? - Echizen and I have always been pure friends, okay?"

"When you say it like "pure", it sounds a bit suspicious." Yi Wu muttered.

"Hey!"

Ji Lejing from Qiyu Green Mountain Middle School sighed quietly: "Although I can understand your intentions... But it is too unfortunate that such a thing happened before the final day?"

"So," Higa's Tian Renzhi suddenly said, "are you specially asking us to bully a rookie who just started playing tennis?"

Yakuzu sneered.

The sentence "Don't order me" just now scared the three of them enough, and even stopped Huadi.But even though he said that, he still followed them, with a bloody smile on his face.

"Isn't it interesting to hunt rabbits?" He raised his eyebrows and looked at several other people.

Horio shivered suddenly.

Terrible, this guy is a hungry wolf!Is it really okay to send him to Ryoma?

...Ah, but, that is Echizen Ryoma.

Soon he convinced himself again: Afraid of a ghost, no matter when Ryoma would be afraid of such a guy, right?

Yiwu Shensi stomped his cheek: "Well, it sounds cruel. But it seems not bad."

"Revenge..." Yuta was also a little shaken.

As soon as he said this, the eyes of the others changed.The depression of losing the game before, and the shame of being defeated by the younger generation all suddenly emerged, which made people want to move.

Sounds like a very tempting suggestion, doesn't it?

"It doesn't matter even if you make that little one cry?" Yi Wu added fuel to the fire slowly.

Tian Renzhi rolled up his sleeves excitedly: "Then hurry up!"

The Qingxue trio watched a group of people walking towards the court outside the court in great strength and power, and looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Ryoma will be all right?" Katsuo swallowed uneasily, a little worried that they did something bad with good intentions.

"No, you don't understand." Horio's expression was very deep, and he waved his index finger with ease, "It's too early to bully Echizen!"

"Eh, why?"

"If it was really easy to bully, Atobe-senpai would have long ago--" Horio said with experience, holding his chin, showing a meaningful smile.

The other two nodded with a half understanding: "Hey..."

"Okay, let's concentrate first." Yukimura said lightly, and immediately made everyone shut up, tensing their nerves and waiting.

"Yes."

"You won't forget the result of the Kanto competition, right?" He seemed to be smiling a little.

Sanada stiffened slightly, and the others felt the cold of winter all of a sudden.Kirihara hugged his arms and trembled: "Well, Minister Yukimura, listen to me... I will definitely win today!"

But Yukimura's goal today is not aimed at him alone.

"It might be interesting to fight with that girl. I have been looking forward to it for a long time, but...it will be cruel to her." Yukimura said slowly, "If possible, I hope you don't give me a chance to play .”

Sanada frowned, and almost said: Yukimura, you—

But he dismissed the idea in time, took a deep breath, stood up from the sidelines, clamped the racket in his arm, cast his eyes on the opponent Tezuka, and said firmly: "I will win."
