Early the next morning

Carrying her bag, Eri prepares to go to a single wall for a fight back practice.

But there was one person who appeared here earlier.

The girl stood at the exit of the road and watched Kirihara practice her serve.

His movements are very standard, both in terms of the strength of his shots and the end of his shots.

The landing point against the wall also seems to be specially controlled.

This really has to be praised, Kirihara's ball control ability is really good.

After a while, I saw that Kirihara suddenly stopped the movement in his hand, lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

In the next second, Kirihara glanced back sharply, as if he had found something terrible and immediately turned his head, and his body began to tremble slightly.

He tossed the tennis ball high and slammed it out as if grasping at the last straw.

The tennis ball hit the wall, creating a gap in the flat wall, and stone fragments fell out of the gap.

Taken aback, Eiko narrowed her eyes and walked over to him, feeling that Kirihara was in a strange state now.

"Brother Kirihara?" Ei Rachu slowly walked up to him and let out a low groan.

As if waking people up from a dream, Kirihara was shocked and looked at the girl who appeared in front of him unconsciously, his expression was a little dazed at this time, and he was extremely helpless.

On closer inspection, there was still a trace of red scratches on the handsome face.

Eiko frowned and took a few steps forward, wanting to raise her hand to touch the wound on his face, but just as she wanted to make contact, Kirihara hurriedly took a few steps back, causing the girl's hand to stop in the air and freeze.

"Brother Kirihara?! What happened to you? Ei was even more puzzled, slowly letting go of the hand that was staying in the air, and opened his mouth to the young man in front of him.

"You, you're here too......" Kirihara's footsteps after retreating were a little unsteady, and his voice was trembling, only to see him swallow, and then his voice stabilized a little, "Sister is also here to make me apologize?" ”

Also?

Eiko tilted her head, "What apologies?" ”

What the hell happened to him, and where did the abrasions on his face come from?

"Whether it's Fuji or Tachibana, even my sister wants me to apologize, right? Hehe......" Kirihara had a mocking smile on his face, but the expression on his face was very stiff.

He's being strong.

Naturally, Ei Tanuki saw this, but she became more and more puzzled about what it was that made Kirihara, who was originally very arrogant and confident, become what she is now, she paused, and her eyes were firmly fixed on herself facing the boy.

"Brother Kirihara, although I don't know what happened to you, but you don't need to apologize to me, just believe in yourself, people will change!" Erika leaned sideways, exposed her tennis bag, and rushed at him to slap it.

"Also, I'm here to train, and Coach Huacun asked me to come here to practice ball control!"

Hearing this, Kirihara was stunned and pondered for a moment.

"That's ...... so"

I saw that he breathed a deep sigh of relief, and his lowered head gradually raised, and his eyes were directly facing the girl in front of him.

And his already fair skin was also particularly obvious because of the reddish scratches on his face.

Kirihara scratched his head

"Sister Eko, are you going to practice here?"

As he spoke, he took a few steps back with the tennis frame car on the side to empty the other half.

After a pause, he pushed the tennis cart in the direction of the civet.

Eiko glanced at the tennis frame car, then looked at Kirihara and remembered his incomparably superb ball skills just now, and couldn't help but ask.

"Brother Kirihara, why are you so accurate in your ball control, and how do you do it?"

"Huh?" A puzzle spat out from Kirihara's mouth, and the boy was stunned for a moment.

"It's like power and ball control," Eiko continued, "I don't know if it's because I haven't played for a long time, but every time I hit a tennis ball, it will hit other places from time to time, and it will be a little floating when it lands." ”

As the words fell, the girl picked up a tennis ball in her right hand, then threw it high, raised the racket in her left hand and swung it fiercely.

The tennis ball hits quickly, flashes yellow tracks in the air, hits the wall, and leaves a trail.

"It's not just the power and the ball control, it's the spin." Ei looked at the tennis ball that she had just struck by herself, pursed her lips and thought about it, and served a ball from her hand again.

The ball was noticeably slower than the previous one, hitting the wall and bouncing in the other direction, and the indentation in the wall was clearly two leagues faster than the ball that had just been issued.

I don't know if it's because she plays with her left hand, but in terms of ball control and strength, it's far from her right hand.

Eiko stared at the marks on the wall, then looked down at his left hand and sighed in frustration.

"Alas, it seems that it is still a little far away!"

Eiko shook her head, took a few steps back, and spoke to Kirihara beside her.

"Teach me?"

Kirihara blinked, and also looked at the girl's left hand holding the racket, and a puzzled voice came out of his mouth.

"Why don't you try using your right hand? Maybe it will work a little better. ”

"Huh?" Ei bit her lower lip and looked down at her fair right hand.

Is it right-handed?

After hesitating for a moment, the girl trembled and changed the racket to her right hand, took a deep breath, held the tennis ball on her left hand and squeezed it fiercely, her eyes were also firmly fixed on the wall in front of her, and then she threw the ball up, and with a wave of her right hand, a no less impressive serve came out of her hand, hitting the groove on the side of her first ball, and even deeper.

Taken aback, Ei looked at the groove of the ball that had just been sent out for a long time, and looked at his right hand with red and white bracers on his right wrist in surprise, and looked at it carefully.

Her right hand is like... I didn't tremble as much as I used to, and my strength seemed to have returned.

Kirihara also didn't come back to his senses for a while, and after a while, he looked at the ball that was hit and raised the corners of his mouth.

"That's it, it's not bad!"

Then he took the racket and walked to the tee, and said to the girl, "Sister Ekoi, let's continue to ......"

Eiko smiled and nodded, with many glitters in her eyes.

"Hmm..."

The practice of serving and hitting the ball again and again made the girl feel a little sore in her shoulders.

But she didn't let up every time, and every time she treated it as if it was a regular serve.

Just one serving practice is already sweating lightly.

The balls in the frame have long been used up.

When the two bent down to pick up the ball again, ready for the next round of practice.

A pair of white sneakers suddenly appeared in front of Kirihara's eyes, and the owner of the sneakers was standing motionless in front of him.

Kirihara's movements paused, and he lifted his waist and glanced at the person who appeared in front of him.

"It's you, Echizen." Kirihara saw the young man in front of him and expressed his understanding, and then continued to bend down to pick up the ball on the ground, and did not forget to ask, "Do you have something to do with me?" ”

At this time, Ryoma put the racket on his shoulder, put his other hand in his pants pocket, and his amber eyes glanced at Eiko, who was holding the racket in his right hand, a little surprised, but then came back to his senses and said to Kirihara, "Do you want to play with me?" ”

"Huh?" Kirihara frowned and got up, turned his head to look back at him, then at the girl who was still bending down to pick up the ball, and raised his eyebrows, "Okay, if you're not afraid!" Kirihara chuckled, and then shouted at Eiko.

"Sister!"

"Huh?" Hearing the call, Eiko tilted his head, raised his waist and glanced at Kirihara, who was calling her, and he was surprised to find Ryoma standing beside him, and was surprised and puzzled.

"Ryoma?"

Ryoma saw that the girl saw him, and nodded in acknowledgement.

"Sister, are you going to come and see my match with Echizen?" Hearing Kirihara's question, Eiko's gaze wandered back and forth over the faces of the two of them, and he paused before speaking.

"Yes!"
