The next moment, he saw Kunimitsu Tezuka, who had been standing in the first row of spectators on the sidelines, running into the arena from the entrance at a rapid pace, bypassing the baffle, and running towards Nobuya Yanagizumi, as if trying to help her.

Tezuka's personality rarely happens, perhaps because he was the one who invited her to take the plunge today, so he thought he had such an obligation to care about her physical condition.

But Tezuka, who had always appeared with a calm and calm face, seemed to hesitate for a moment, as if she was helpless and didn't know how to help the girl who was lying on her back on the court in a large shape, with beads of sweat snaking from her forehead and her temples and a big smile on her face facing the sky.

At last he seemed to give up the idea of lifting her up at once, knelt down on one knee at her side, bent down to observe her expression for a moment, and then his face seemed to become even more speechless.

“...... Can you stand up?" he asked in a deep voice the girl who was celebrating her hard-won victory.

Liu Quan lay on his back on the hard ground of the court, his back against the ground scorched by the afternoon sun, and he felt that his head and face were sliding with sweat, and his hair was also wet into locks. The heart was beating wildly, the breathing had turned into short, rapid gasps, the limbs had lost strength, the right shoulder and waist were pounding and throbbing, and even the knees were shaking uncontrollably—had it been too long since I had exercised so hard? Or was it because I had just struck a blow that my body could not bear?

Hearing Tezuka's approach, she blinked, her eyes narrowed slightly as if stinged by the sun, and a big smile bloomed on her face.

“...... Today's sunshine is so good. ”

Tezuka was stunned. “...... Huh?!"

It was only then that she turned her gaze to the young man who was half-crouching beside her—the real object of the crush of "Yanagizumi Nobuya".

Xinya-chan, I have to say, your vision is really good.

She smiled brightly.

“...... It's great to be able to win in such a bright sun—"

The surprise on Tezuka's face slowly turned into a kind of understanding. He leaned over to look at her, and there was a bright glow in his quiet brown eyes—as if he had found another trusted bosom friend in tennis, and he tugged at the corners of his lips with a subtle expression, as if relieved, and stood up with one hand on his knee, and then hesitated a little, but bent down and stretched out a hand to her.

Liu Quan thought for a moment, but still stretched out her left hand—she didn't dare to risk the injury in her right shoulder any more now—and stood up with the help of his strength.

Tetsuto Kawasaki stood at the front of the stands very close to them, watching the scene.

Then he saw that Shiraishi Kuranosuke, who had been playing with Yanagizumi Nobuya and she was injured and retired, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and jumped directly over the baffle from the stands, jumped into the field, and went straight to Yanagizumi Nobuya - picked up the racket that had fallen aside for her, and then handed it to her.

Nobuya Yanagiizumi, who had already stood up with the help of Kunimitsu Tezuka, seemed to be stunned for a moment, then a bright smile bloomed on her face, and with her left hand, instead of her usual right hand, she took the racket that Shiraishi handed her, nodded at Shiraishi, and said in a tone that was obviously very tired, but still lighthearted, "Look, as long as the other party is a female player, I can still win." ”

The smile on Shiraishi's face seemed to be distorted for a moment—Tetsuto Kawasaki wondered if he could notice such strange details at such a time—and then he smiled as well, and replied in a similar light-hearted tone, "Ah, if the opponent is a male athlete and he doesn't play a special move to save his life, maybe you can win." ”

Nobuya Yanagizumi seemed stunned for a second, and then let out a crisp laugh of extreme pleasure. In an instant, the proud appearance of the genius girl who had been pinned on the optimism and expectations of countless people a few years ago seemed to be back.

"yes. The philosopher heard her say in a pleasant tone, "So, let's do it again next time?" ...... Or is it a matter of life and death?"

Shiraishi seemed to be really choked by her this time, and the smile on his face became a bit like a helpless wry smile. "Say what life and death...... Miss, how long are you going to use this stalk......"

When Yanagizumi Nobuya heard this, a triumphant smile appeared on his face - there was no gloom except for pride.

Then, Tetsuto Kawasaki noticed the wry smile on Kuranosuke Shiraishi's face, which slowly turned into a smile as well.

...... Even if you play a fateful game like that, you're no longer a mortal enemy, right?

And he also noticed that Shinobu Kenya, who was also hated by Yanagizumi Nobuya because of the practice match incident at the Four Heavenly Treasure Temple, almost jumped over the baffle board with his former head of the tennis department. Fortunately, the cousin next to him, Shinobu Shinobu, grabbed him by the collar in time and said something to him.

Maybe he was telling his cousin that if he had something to say, he could wait until Nobuya Yanagizumi was off the field, but what was it like this, as a spectator, to rush into the field?!...... Tetsuto Kawasaki thought as if venting his anger.

Today, he has received such a wealth of information that he may be able to write into his own report, but Tetsuto Kawasaki is not very happy.

If you lose your talents, lose your companions, and still be able to play this dead game into a dead game and win in the end, then who else can beat this guy.

Then he saw Nobuya Yanagizumi stand up straight, and after thanking Tezuka who helped her, he walked to the net in the center of the court with a slight limp alone, and shook hands with Narumi who was already waiting on the side of the net.

Chengmei's table Xiàn also greatly surprised the philosopher.

Despite being once again defeated by the talented girl who has been judged by almost all famous doctors to be unable to continue her tennis career, this time Narumi is much more mature than all the previous moments.

Although she had to wait a long time in front of the net to complete the post-match handshake with her opponent, when Nobuya Yanagizumi finally stood up and walked to the net to shake Kawasaki's hand, Narumi had a smile on her face throughout.

"Congratulations, Willow Spring. It was indeed me who lost. ”

Instead of calling Yanagizumi Nobuya the pretentious "Nobuya-chan" at the reunion, Kawasaki Narumi shook Yanagizumi's right hand, feeling that hand trembling slightly from excessive exercise, and couldn't help but squint her eyes and smile.

“...... But that's all there is to it. She leaned forward suddenly, leaned close to Yanagizumi Nobuya's ear, and said with a soft smile.

"I am still the one who will stand on the international stage in the future to represent the first team. ”

Yanagizumi Nobuya seemed to have known that Kawasaki Narumi would not say anything beautiful, and she still smiled when she heard this, her expression was very tired, but it seemed to be very happy.

"Yes, yes, I'm expecting you to win the title, so I'm the one who's better than the World Champion. Through your accomplishments, I will be able to know what kind of culmination I will be able to reach if I can attack with all my might—"

She smiled and blinked.

"Want to learn the real tricks of 'Psychedelic Sunshadow'? I can teach you. As long as you respectfully call me 'master craftsman'. ”

Kawasaki Narumi was choked. After a moment, she seemed to laugh happily too, just as heartily as the victor of the day.

“...... Think beautifully. One day, my 'Moonlight' will surpass your 'Psychedelic Sun' and become the best serve in the women's division!"

Yanagizumi Nobuya tilted her head slightly, and a string of crisp laughter burst out of her throat like the ringing of wind chimes.

"Really?...... Then I'll wait and see. ”
