I want to play tennis

Chapter 10 Let's Play Doubles Before Singles
Because it took some time to communicate with Akutagawa Jiro, and the two wandered around the campus like headless chickens, Kitahara Toru and Akutagawa Jiro found the logistics department when it was dark.

but……

"It's... closed..."

On the way, Toru Kitahara kept sighing, looked at Jirou Akutagawa who was cheerful beside him, and said speechlessly, "Senior, are you hungry?"

"Well, hungry."

Why do you look so happy when you say that you are hungry?

Looking at Jirou Akutagawa with a happy smile on his face, Toru Kitahara sighed.

"Then let's go eat something first, and then go to the field."

"Okay."

"What do you want to eat, senior?"

"Hmm~"

After thinking about it for a while, Akutagawa Jiro smiled at Kitahara Toru Yangguang.

"pocky!"

……

"Ramen, I see."

I have to say that although Jiro Akutagawa is unreliable, when Toru Kitahara eats the ramen that Jiro Akutagawa treats...

"Senior Cilang is really a good person."

Akutagawa Jirou smiled embarrassedly.

"Hey, let's go play now."

"Well, I remember seeing a field field nearby."

Kitahara Toru and Akutagawa Jiro quickly found the field.

Looking at the brightly lit and bustling tennis court inside, Toru Kitahara and Jiro Akutagawa nodded in satisfaction.

"Hey! Does it look good here?"

Compared to Jirou Akutagawa, who looked around excitedly and curiously like a primary school student, Toru Kitahara felt that something was wrong.

This court seems to be used for doubles. Could it be the field court played by Echizen Ryoma and Momoshiro Takerai in the manga?

Just as Toru Kitahara was thinking, two people came over.

"Hey, are you here to play tennis too?"

Kitahara Toru and Akutagawa Jiro nodded.

One of the yellow hedgehog heads was a little disgusted when he heard it, and looked helplessly at his long-haired companion with black ponytail. "What's wrong, more and more people are coming."

The ponytail man nodded in agreement.

"But there's only one tennis court here, too."

The conversation between these two people completely convinced Kitahara Toru that this was the tennis court where Echizen Ryoma and the others would come to in the future.

It seems that we are one step ahead.

"But the way these two people talk is really annoying, isn't it, senior Cilang?"

"Hu~~ huh~~"

No, fell asleep.

Just when Toru Kitahara looked dumbfounded at Akutagawa Jirou who was standing and sleeping, Hedgehog opened his mouth.

"You two, do you know the rules here?"

The two shook their heads and nodded.

Kitahara Toru pretended not to know, and Akutagawa Jiro only nodded his head while he was asleep.

These two are so weird, especially the one who looks like he's asleep.

The man with the hedgehog head and the ponytail looked at Toru Kitahara and Jiro Akutagawa strangely.

"It's the same as a sparring game, the loser ends up fighting with someone else."

"correct!"

The hedgehog head looked at the two of them, with a confident smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Here, only doubles are played."

Oh, is it confidence in your own strength?

Seeing the subconscious self-confidence of the two when it came to doubles, Kitahara smiled.

"I see, doubles are doubles."

For some reason, the man with the hedgehog head and the ponytail felt a hint of sarcasm from Toru Kitahara's smile.

"Now that you know, you can start preparing."

Looking at the two people leaving, Toru Kitahara shook Akutagawa Jiro who was beside him.

"Senior Cilang, don't sleep, the competition is about to start."

"Huh? Competition, okay."

Akutagawa Jiro walked onto the court in a daze.

"Come on, Toru Kitahara, let me see how good you are."

It was Toru Kitahara who was standing opposite him, covering his face with his hands in embarrassment.

"Senior, you went wrong."

Wrong way?
Akutagawa Jirou turned his head in a daze, and sure enough, he found two people standing next to him, who also looked at him in a daze.

Akutagawa Jirou's face burned.

"Well, Bei Yuan, we won't play doubles, will we?"

Toru Kitahara nodded.

"Haha, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my brother didn't make it clear, I'm sorry."

Akutagawa Jirou, who realized that he had committed an oolong, immediately apologized to the two people next to him in embarrassment, and then quickly ran to Kitahara Toru.

At this time, the entire stadium burst into loud laughter.

"Haha, what is that guy doing? Three against one?"

"Are you still asleep?"

Hearing the laughter around him, he also felt ashamed that Akutagawa Jirou was in the sun.

He looked at Toru Kitahara with a bit of complaint.

"Beiyuan, you tricked me."

Kitahara Toru shook his head helplessly.

"I didn't say anything, the senior ran over by himself."

I don't take this blame.

"But didn't I want to play singles with Beiyuan? How did it become a doubles?"

"No way, the rules here seem to be like this."

Just as the two were talking, the opponents on the opposite side and the audience outside the court became impatient.

"Hey, are you two fighting?"

"You won't come here to be funny, will you?"

"Hahaha."

These words made Kitahara Toru and Akutagawa Jiro bow their heads in shame.

"Then what, senior, let's fight first."

"agree."

The rule is that the challenger serves first, so the two decided that Toru Kitahara would serve first.

"Senior, it's time to go."

"OK!"

Toru Kitahara threw the ball up, and directly controlled the ball precisely in the dead corner of the teeing area.

Let the opponent touch the tennis ball without touching it.

"15-0."

Oh, great ball control, is my junior okay?

Akutagawa Jirou thought to himself.

"30-0"

"40-0"

"1-0, the Akutagawa Kitahara team won."

"Hey, that first-year serve is so fast."

"Not only that, the angle is also very tricky, all of them are pressing the sideline of the teeing area."

"That is to say, four ACEs directly scored a point."

In tennis, an ACE ball is a service in which one of the two sides serves and the ball lands in the effective area, but the opponent does not touch the ball and makes it score directly.If the opponent touches the ball and goes out of bounds or into the net, it is only called a serve and not an ace.

The strength that Toru Kitahara just showed made the men with the hedgehog head and ponytail watching on the side alert.

These two people, at least the short one, have good strength.

When changing the serve, Kitahara Toru also relied on his own strength to easily take away the opponent.

"2-0 Akutagawa Kitahara won."

Although the opponent has no pressure, Toru Kitahara is not happy.

What should I do?If this continues, how can I fantasize about Senior Cilang?Today's work is over today.

Just when Kitahara was racking his brains...

"Hey, on the other side, do you want to serve the ball?"

Looking at the impatient opposite, Toru Kitahara looked back.

Jiro Akutagawa fell asleep standing up with a tennis racket in his hand.

Sure enough, isn't this level of competition arousing interest?

Kitahara shook his head with a wry smile.

So, why do you have to play doubles before playing singles?

"Hey, Senior Cirou, don't sleep!"

"Ok?"

Akutagawa Jirou opened his eyes in a daze.

Kitahara was completely helpless about this.

"It's time for the senior to serve."

"Yes."

Akutagawa Jiro made a random shot, even though he didn't use all his strength, it made it difficult for his opponent to parry.

All the balls hit were returned by Kitahara Toru who was ambushing in front of the net with volleys.

"3-0"

"Well, I've finally served the ball."

Looking at a half-dead, yawning Akutagawa Jiro.

Kitahara decided.

It's time to show off!
