must love tennis

On the morning when the ranking competition started, Ryoma almost went to bed late.

When he went downstairs, Tokugawa was sitting on the porch teasing her Karubin, without turning his head, he said, "You are very confident."

"Of course," she replied, sitting down to breakfast.

"Don't underestimate the enemy."

"Why, the seniors all look very strong." Ryoma said.She has never underestimated the enemy in the true sense. If she had to say it, it would be strategic "contempt" at best.She swallowed the food in her mouth, and suddenly said, "However, to be honest, before I saw them, I thought..."

"what?"

"Such a powerful group of guys will be people with colorful hair." Ryoma sighed slightly, regretting, "The comics are indeed deceiving."

"..." What do you usually look at!

Tokugawa was a little worried.

"If it were you," Ryoma asked, "in your opinion, don't the seniors in our school be easy to deal with?"

Um?He put down the cat teaser and replied calmly, "Probably. I'll meet you later when I have a chance."

"Obviously the most confident person is you..." Ryoma couldn't help muttering to himself for daring to say such a thing without having seen it before.

"Huh?" He seemed to have heard it, his eyes swept over, and his handsome eyebrows were slightly frowned.

She said sternly: "Then I can't lose! ——Leave."

Ryoma got up, picked up the tennis bag, and stepped out of the hallway with arrogance.

"Are you going to watch her match?" Nanako looked at her cousin's back and asked with a smile.

"...No need." Tokugawa replied after pondering. "I have confidence in her too."

"You guys, it's really..." Nanako paused slightly, as if she was thinking about what words would be more suitable to describe her, her smile gradually widened, "It's really good to play tennis."

Tokugawa didn't respond, just nodded slightly.

There are eight members of Qingxue's regular selection team. Ryoma counted the ones he had seen, and there were only seven of them. The other one should be a senior from the previous class who had graduated and left.

"That is to say, if the group is lucky, Echizen can definitely enter the main selection team!" Horio announced loudly.

"What is luck?" Ryoma himself disagreed.

"What a pity." Horio looked at her regretfully, "It's really unfortunate that you are in a group with Kaidou-senpai and Agan-senpai!"

"Is that so?" Ryoma continued to eat his bento, and said vaguely, "Speaking of which, if the seniors formed a double, it would be very powerful."

"what?"

"And that's going to be—a king cobra?"

"...Hey." Several people stroked their foreheads, "What kind of cold joke are you talking about at this time!"

"However! We can indeed be more optimistic." Sheng Lang clenched his fist and said with Xingxing eyes, "Until the last moment of the game, who knows what will happen?"

"Yes, yes." Sheng Xiong echoed.

"Even if you are about to lose, as long as you persevere, maybe a meteorite will suddenly fall on the field and knock your opponent unconscious?" Sheng Lang continued to clenched his fists.

No, that's just not possible.Stop bringing things from the theater next door over here!

Ryoma finished his lunch first, closed the bento box, and stood up: "I tell you, don't make a mistake."

"Ah?" Several people were taken aback for a moment, then raised their heads in a daze.

"I am not a transparent person, or an additional player." She said clearly, "Since you have chosen tennis, you must become the strongest one! Tennis is not a multiplayer sport."

After speaking, she turned around and left.

Horio and the others opened their mouths slightly and looked at each other.

"It's so imposing, Echizen." Shengxiong said enviously.

"It's not enough just to have momentum." Horio said old-fashionedly, waving his fingers, "How could the first grade think about defeating the first-choice team members? Let's talk about it in two years!"

……

Two days later, Horio stood at the end of the line covering his face, listening to the vice minister's concluding remarks.

I'm so stupid, really.

Why do you want to set a flag?

——The first thing you should know when you see Echizen Ryoma is that he is the chosen son of the unique limited edition and out-of-print only seedling in the world!

"Then, this month's regular team members have been decided." Dashi said kindly, "For the rest, keep working hard!"

"Yes!"

Horio secretly looked at Ryoma next to her, she looked into the distance blankly, as if in a daze.

He was arbitrarily regarded as a candidate for the main selection "two years later", and now he showed his talents in the ranking competition, defeated five opponents in the same group, and stepped into the main selection team that everyone was thinking of without any suspense.

So annoying!

After the team disbanded, Ryoma yawned, came back to his senses leisurely, and walked out of the court with his tennis racket in his arms.

"hiss--"

At the door, he ran into Haitang, who had fought against him, and the latter gave him a vicious look.

"Why are you so fierce..." She took a step back vigilantly and said, "Didn't you be chosen?"

Haitang's expression became even more terrifying, he gritted his teeth, gave up, and walked away quickly with long legs.

Those who really lost the election floated from the background a little melancholy, and no one paid attention to them.

"Hey, newcomer." Taocheng walked up swaggeringly, with a familiar tone, raised one hand and put it on Ryoma's shoulder, "I will be a teammate from now on, please have a better attitude."

As he spoke, he tried to pinch her cheek: "Here, like this, smile—"

"It hurts!" Ryoma turned his head and slapped his evil hand away.

"Hehe...it's still very cute." Taocheng smiled with satisfaction, "Let's go together today, senior invites you to eat hamburgers!"

"Eh, wait a minute—"

Dashi turned to stop them.

"Taocheng, you're all right, come over here."

"Ah? Why?" Taocheng asked.

"I'm going to make a new team uniform, measure the size." Dashi explained succinctly.

"Oh! Then I'll wait for you at the door." Taocheng patted Ryoma's shoulder and walked away.

"Come with me." Deputy Minister Dashi smiled at her kindly.

He led the people to the department room, and introduced: "From today, you can use the department room of the selected team members, including private bathrooms and larger lockers. By the way, are there any permanent supplies available Stay here, you don’t need to take it away every day. However, if you are the last person to leave every day, remember to lock the door. The key is with me and Tezuka, if you come early one day..."

Uh, probably not.

Dashi paused: "In short, under normal circumstances, as long as there are no accidents, I will be the first to come to the club to open the door for everyone."

"understood."

Entering the club office, Dashi took out the tape measure and the notebook from the cabinet, opened it and said, "Then, take off your coat, and I'll measure it for you—"

! !

Oops, careless.

Longma was secretly startled, and before he had time to react, there was a snap behind him, and the door opened again.

"Oh, you are here." Fuji poked his head out, "Ms. Ryuzaki is looking for you."

"now?"

"I can handle it myself." Ryoma said quickly.

"Oh good." Dashi didn't take it seriously, thinking that it was just a trivial matter, he pointed out the record book to her, "Here, you measure these data and fill them in later, and I will hand them over to you later. Tailor."

Dashi put down his things and left in a hurry.Ryoma didn't move, and turned to look at Bu Er outside the door, as if asking, are you still leaving?

Bu Er turned a blind eye to her repelling attitude, fiddled with the net cable on his racket, and asked slowly: "Why, Echizen, are you shy?"

Ryoma's expression became serious, and he asked, "Senior Fuji, could it be... are you that one?"

"..."

Bu Er: "I'm not, I haven't."

While he was in a daze, Ryoma quickly closed the door, locked it, and let out a long sigh of relief.

... This person seems to be a bit difficult to deal with.

Gee.

After a while, the door opened again.

Fortunately, she moved fast!

"Why come again—" Ryoma almost got angry.

She stopped filling in the form, raised her head, and met Minister Tezuka's eyes.

Uh, sorry.

It was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding.

"So you are here." He also seemed to be stunned for a moment, looked at the doorknob, and said calmly, "I thought it was locked by mistake."

"Oh..." She coughed dryly, "It was closed out of habit just now, sorry."

"Yeah." Tezuka nodded slightly, "If you have nothing to do, go back early."

"This watch—"

"Just put it there."

Ryoma silently put down his pen and got up: "Then, Minister, I'm leaving."

Taocheng stepped on the bicycle, staring at the young ladies passing by in groups across the street in a daze.

Ryoma passed behind him: "Aren't you going to eat a hamburger?"

"Wow!" Taocheng was taken aback, lost his balance and almost fell off the car seat, but managed to stabilize himself in time, and complained, "Don't appear suddenly! ——Hey, why are you walking so fast, I'm carrying you You!"

"No need. You don't even have a back seat, so I'm ashamed to say..."

Taocheng rubbed his nose: "Isn't this pretending yet? Don't worry, I'll find a girlfriend later..."

"You can imagine, Senior A Tao."

"Hey, that's too much!"

He got off the bicycle, pushed the bicycle and walked beside Ryoma.After a while, he asked curiously, "Did you meet many great players when you were in the United States?"

"Hmm." Ryoma was noncommittal, "Not as good as me."

"You really know how to say it." Taocheng smiled and didn't deny her words, "However, you are really good at it. Even the seniors admit that you are better than him in terms of strength. It seems that the four championships you won in the United States It really weighs a lot!"

"What about this side?" She pretended to be casually mentioning, "Apart from Qingxue, do you have any strong enemies?"

"Yes, there are quite a lot of them. Don't underestimate Japan." Taocheng continued, "Let me tell you, the champion of the Kanto Competition and the National Competition for two consecutive years, Lihai University Affiliated High School, The existence known as the king. Before that, there were several strong teams such as Yamabuki and Hyotei in the Metropolitan Assembly—"

"Oh? Isn't that very interesting." Ryoma raised his face, revealing interested eyes.

Taocheng nodded slowly: "That's right! Looking at your eyes, I'm not afraid at all."

of course.

Because her goal is-

"No. [-] in the country!"

Just before he was about to speak, another voice spoke out his lines first.Both of them were startled, then turned to look across the street.

The two figures who came out of the M diary bumped their fists under the neon signboard.

……Uh.

Is something wrong.
