"You have a great chance of becoming the ace of our division! And not only that, if you train properly, you can become world-class! How about you, do you want to go out into the world with me? ”

"With you, I can regain my dreams. Then dominate IH (National High School League)! Dominate the island! Dominate the World Series! Finally, he won the Olympic championship! Be the pride of the whole island nation! ”

However, the answer in exchange for these passionate words was, "I don't need to!" ”

"Why?!" Tachibanate said with a look of disbelief.

"Although what you say is possible, I will not do what I don't want to do. Although I did play badminton...... But, I don't like it very much......" Ayano Hasaki's expression was gloomy, and she no longer had the same stupid and sunny cute appearance as before, and said softly.

Instantly, Tachichiya Sara was speechless, and he had to fall silent, thinking about how to continue to persuade the other party to change his mind.

However, before he could come up with a solution, a burst of irrepressible laughter suddenly came from nearby.

"Poof! Hahahaha......"

"Who is it!?" Tachibanate Taro turned around and looked in the direction where the laughter came from, "Aragabi! ”

"Ah, it's so funny, it makes people want to laugh, what kind of persuasion are you, incompetent coach. I can't compliment you on the way you look at people. Do you think that bean sprout over there can be the trump card of our department? That said, you think I'm not as good as her, do you? ”

In the end, Nagisa Aragaki's expression also became unkind.

After all, whoever hears a person say this about himself, his heart will not be too beautiful.

"Nagisa." And Izumi Riko, who was forced to stand up with Aragaki, was a little flustered and signaled her not to be so rude.

At least in the island country, a society with strict etiquette and clear class hierarchies, the behavior of the barren land can be described as rebellious and rude.

"I said you...... I didn't mean to compare you to her. She's left-handed, and she's very athletic, so if you can join with them, you'll be ...... to your practice," Tachibanate explained patiently without taking Aragaki to heart like a typical island teacher. But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the cold snort of the baragare.

"Humph! Is that really the case? You didn't behave like what you said. What to say about the Olympics, what to say about regaining your dreams...... But it doesn't have anything to do with me. But ah, don't expect me to continue to identify with you as my coach! Then after a pause, Aragaki said loudly, "Mr. Tachibana, let's take a gamble!" ”

"Bet on what?" Tachispline Taro was embarrassed by Aragaki's words, and couldn't help but subconsciously say.

"Let me play the girl you value. If I lose, I'll graciously admit that I'm wrong and quit myself! On the other hand, if I win, you are not allowed to dictate my affairs and act like a coach! "Aragaki Road.

I didn't care at all whether Ayano Hasaki, who was on the side, would agree to the black cauldron that she suddenly threw on her.

But fortunately, Ayano Hasaki has a childhood friend who is reliable at some times, a fashionable girl named Eirina Fujisawa, and under her excuse play or intermittent unreliability, instead of Ayano Hasaki, she agreed to the gamble proposed by Aragaki. It's just a condition, it's no longer what Yuan proposed, but another one is added on the original basis - if Ayano wins, Tachibana Kantaro will stop pestering her and let her join the badminton club.

Then the conditions were placed, and what should have been a daily training session was replaced by a sudden showdown.

A simple opening, or a very informal opening. Because compared to Aragaki who is changing clothes, warming up, and preparing for battle with all his energy, Ayano's performance is like a family girl playing sports ball with her friends, casual and leisurely, and she doesn't take it to heart about the fate of the two of them - losing the retreat and losing the matter of continuing to be harassed, which really makes people have nothing to say.

Then the battle began, and Ayano directly gave Aragaki a resounding dismount with a super high lob and a smash in front of the net.

Aragaki concentrated, didn't dare to be distracted anymore, and seriously fought with Ayano.

One back and forth, one buckle and one pick-up...... The score became 10-12 in the blink of an eye in the battle between the two.

Ayano 10, Aragaki 12, can be regarded as the lead. But in terms of performance, the two are completely different. Aragaki was sweating profusely, looking like he had experienced high-intensity exercise, but Ayano's expression was still the same, not sweating at all, not even the slightest tension, showing the huge gap between them.

And the most important thing is that Ayano always uses her right hand when she plays, not the left hand judged by Tachispline Taro, which shows the gap between the two, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are not at the same level.

But alas, attitude is everything. In the case that Ayano chose to play with her right hand and did not show her full strength, it was obvious that she could not fight with all her strength at some time and treat her as a powerful opponent and a boss to conquer Aragaki, so the final result was not unexpected, and Aragaki won the duel with a score of 21 to 18 and won the gamble.

Even if it's just a very irregular fight. There is no best-of-three games, and there is no change of sides.

"That kid is so strong." After the game, Izumi Riko looked at Ayano Hasaki, who was not tired and was arguing with Tachisaki Taro, and muttered in a low voice.

"So work hard. As long as you keep exercising, it won't be long before you'll become better than her, even better than that child, I promise. Hidden in the shadows, Zhong Tu, who has been giving on-the-spot guidance and training to Izumi Riko, said lightly.

"......" Izumi Riko didn't speak, and began to communicate with the others.

……

In early April, there was a Saturday holiday.

As the head of the badminton club of Kita-Komachi High School, Tachibana Kantaro used his connections to organize a camp-in training camp for all members of Kita-Komachi High School's badminton club.

The location is located in Kanagawa, inside the Kanagawa University of Physical Education in Kanagawa.

All the personnel were present, and even Ayano Hasaki, who was not a member of the badminton club, and her childhood sweethearts and good friends Eirina Fujisawa and Noriko Miura also appeared in the team.

As for the reason, it was a pretext for traveling, and she was lured by buying off Eirina Fujisawa.

Therefore, in order to get Ayano Hasaki into the ministry, Tachibanate Kantaro is also hard enough, and he is almost about to step into the abyss of human trafficking.

After a few hours, the group arrived at Kanagawa University of Physical Education, and with the help of Tachibana Kantachi's classmates, they completed the registration for the dormitory.
