I want to play tennis

Chapter 42 The Capital Contest Begins
The days passed day by day, and not long after, the capital competition ushered in.

This time, Toru Kitahara got his wish and was included in the battle list of the Metropolitan Competition, and he was still number three in singles just like last time.

This time the team is still led by Atobe, with Hiyoshi Waka and Kitahara Toru as the second and third singles, but this time the doubles roster has been adjusted.

In the school bus, Kitahara Toru was talking to Hocho Taro and Shindo Ryo who were sitting in front of him.

"Hey, Feng-senpai and Shishido-senpai also participated in the competition this time."

"That's right, because there are many doubles players who can meet in the Tokyo competition, so Coach Sakaki specially arranged us into the list."

Feng Changtaro said gently, with a gentle smile on his face.

Kitahara nodded clearly.

"Hmph, no matter what, we will definitely win."

Shishido Ryo said firmly.

"I don't doubt that."

Kitahara Toru said, but his eyes glanced at the top of Shishido Ryo's head.

"But Shishido-senpai, I've been meaning to ask for a long time, what are you doing with your long hair cut? You look handsome with a ponytail."

"Hmph, because I wanted to cut it, so I cut it."

Shishido Ryo said in a cold voice, but from the slightly invisible curve of his mouth, it can be seen that he was very pleased with Kitahara Toru's compliment on his hair.

"However, there is no need to choose such an ugly hat."

Kitahara Toru looked at the blue hat on Shishido Ryo's head with disgust.

"It looks like a hat issued by the Senior Activity Center."

When Ryo Shishido heard it, his face was filled with embarrassment, and he blushed and shouted: "I like it!"

"That's even worse. Now not only the hat is not good, but the aesthetics of the seniors are also not good ┐('～`;)┌"

"Boy, give me more respect for seniors!!!"

Furious, Shishido Ryo got up from his seat, turned around and clamped Kitahara Toru's head with his arms.

"Ah, I was wrong, I was wrong, Shishido-senpai, Feng-senpai, save me!"

Ho Chotaro looked at the scene in front of him with a smile.

After getting along for such a long time, he can understand the character of this junior. To put it simply, the more he is familiar with people, the more he likes to talk poorly. After being taught a lesson, he will immediately beg for mercy and continue next time.

"Okay, don't make trouble."

Atobe, who sat in front, began to preside over the overall situation.

"With this strength, use it for my uncle in the game later."

Facing Atobe's lecture, Kitahara curled his lips, and whispered, "Tch, I call you uncle every now and then."

Shishido Ryo still maintained the posture of holding Toru Kitahara's head with his arms, and looked at Atobe with a displeased expression.

"That's to say, it's really annoying to look like a stinky fart."

Hochotaro looked at the two who shared the same hatred and secretly laughed. Strictly speaking, Shishido-senpai and Kitahara are really similar in character.

One likes to talk poorly to familiar people, and the other will only play tricks to familiar people.

Feng Changtaro sighed and looked at the two with a smile.

"By the way, isn't it awkward for you two to maintain such a posture?"

Such a pose?
Kitahara Toru and Shishido Ryo were taken aback for a moment, and then looked at each other.

"Ahem, the weather is fine today."

"Well, that's it."

The two of them sat down obediently in their own seats as they spoke.

Feng Changtaro looked at the two of them and smiled again.

Hijiruo sat behind Kitahara Toru, watching the two playful people without saying a word, but from time to time, he still looked at Kitahara Toru with eyes full of fighting spirit.

I want to go down the gram.

Soon, Bingdi and his party arrived at the venue of the capital competition.

When they appeared, they undoubtedly attracted the attention of the crowd again, but this time Kitahara said he was used to it.

Atobe was still going to hand in the registration form. At this time, Toru Kitahara, who had nothing to do, looked around and suddenly saw an interesting scene.

"Hey, no way, is it such a coincidence?"

Toru Kitahara smiled playfully, and said to Keigo Atobe in front, "Minister, I'll go over there and have a look."

Atobe Keigo nodded when he saw that the judges had already confirmed the contestants of the ice emperor.

"Be back in five minutes."

"Understand, understand."

Kitahara Toru said, and walked towards a tennis court.

Feng Changtaro asked Shindo Ryo next to him at this time.

"Senior Shishido, what do you think Kitahara is doing?"

Shindo Ryo glanced at the direction Kitahara was heading, and saw a few people around his age.

"It should be to see an acquaintance to say hello."

"Yo, long time no see."

Echizen Ryoma, who had just finished solving the opponent for Horio, nodded coldly when he saw Toru Kitahara.

"Hello, long time no..."

"Ah, so handsome!!! Ryoma's friend is so handsome too!!!"

Before Ryoma finished speaking, a bluffing girl with twin ponytails appeared, accompanied by the shy Ryuzaki Sakurano.

Looking at this lively girl, it should be Tomika Kosakata.

Kitahara smiled.

"Hi, I'm Toru Kitahara!"

"Ah, what a cool name."

Tomoka Kosakata's exaggerated reaction made Ryuzaki Sakura on the side unbearable, she slightly tugged on Tomoka Kosakata's sleeve, and whispered, "Tomoka, you are too exaggerated."

"Oh? Is there any?"

Tomoka Kosakata tilted her head in doubt.

Ryuzaki Sakurano, who knew Tomoka Kosakata's character, sighed, and then nodded to Toru Kitahara.

"Hi, Kitahara-san."

"Hello."

"Ah, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Tomika Kosakata, the president of Prince Ryoma's Tennis Fan Association."

Looking at the proud Tomika, Toru Kitahara looked at Echizen Ryoma playfully.

"Hey, there's a fan meeting, it's amazing."

"Ahem, where."

Even Echizen Ryoma lowered the brim of his hat in embarrassment at the moment.

"what!"

At this time, Satoshi Horio, who had been silent all this time, suddenly yelled.

Kitahara Toru's mouth twitched, looked at Echizen Ryoma and said, "Your friends are all quite lively."

Ryoma's hat was lowered even lower.

"That's it."

Satoshi Horio, who had been sizing up Toru Kitahara since just now, yelled.

"I remembered, your school uniform belongs to the Hyotei Academy!"

Kitahara shrugged.

"That's right, I'm from the Ice Emperor Academy."

At this time, Feng Changtaro's voice suddenly came from behind.

"Beiyuan, it's almost time to go!"

"Okay, I get it now."

Kitahara Toru looked back at Echizen Ryoma and the others.

"Goodbye then."

Looking at Echizen Ryoma, Toru Kitahara smiled slightly.

"Looking forward to competing with you."

Echizen Ryoma's eyes froze.

"I won't lose."

"Let's talk about this kind of thing during the game, bye."

Looking at Toru Kitahara who waved his hand to himself and others, Satoshi Horio asked Echizen Ryoma curiously.

"Ryoma, how strong is he?"

Echizen Ryoma was silent for a moment, and spoke slowly.

"Very strong."

"As expected, I knew."

Kosakata Tomoka nodded approvingly.

Ryuzaki Sakura looked at Tomika Kosakata strangely.

"Isn't it the first time you met Beiyuan, Pengxiang? How did you know?"

"Hmph, that's because..."

Peng Xiang proudly put her hands on her hips.

"He's so handsome, he must be very strong."

……

"I'm going to gather there."

"Well, I'll go and return the clothes to the senior."

"I'll go cheer you on."

Seeing the three people walking away, Kosakata Tomika hurriedly followed.

"Wait for me!"
