Hello Uncle Sakaki, the king of crossing the net

Leaning on the back chair quietly and relaxing alone, I have always been like this, always thinking of others first.When did I really start to look like this?To be able to be alone for a while.Just because I was afraid that others would worry about me, I never really told anyone what I really thought in my heart.Perhaps not trusting them enough?Or is it because I just traveled through time in this life, so I treat them as outsiders instead of family members?

I slowly opened my eyes and looked at the sky in front of me. Since when did I realize that I had a past that I didn't want to mention?The Atobe family, I didn't pay attention to that family from the beginning.That family was nothing more than the family of Atobe Jingmo when he was alive.Now I am Misakakiya, and I am no longer a member of the Atobe family.The blood flows their lineage, but the soul is no longer there.

When Atobe Keigo looked at me, it was the look that Atobe Keimo only had.But, I am not Atobe Jingmo.

Now I am starting to have some doubts.I just want to enjoy the tennis that I want together, but why should this happen to me?Yu's blocking, Sakaki's heartache, Atobe's helplessness... and the savage love of Atobe Keiryu and Atobe Kiyoko who just came to the sidelines, even...love...

Did i do something wrong…?

"The break time is over, please enter the two players."

Hearing the referee's words, Errett picked up the racket and walked to the field.Only then did he look at me who were looking at the sky together.

"Contestant Yoruhime, please get on the stage immediately."

I looked down at my hands, not trusting myself for the first time.I should have gotten over these things long ago, shouldn't I?Why do you think of it now?

"Yohime, please... contestant..."

When the referee wanted to call me again, he saw me standing up gracefully in the middle of speaking.Watch me pick up the water bottle on the chair and twist it away, then see me pour the water over my head.

I looked at Ai Ruite on the field, picked up the beat with my right hand, tightened it tightly, and walked slowly to the field.Not caring that my body was already wet, I evoked a faint smile and looked at him with relieved eyes.

"The score is two to zero, with Ariel taking the lead. Please Ariel serve."

Although Ai Ruite looked at me with some doubts, he didn't care about it any more.Throw the ball up lightly, and then swing the racket hard after the ball goes down and hit me on the field.

And I, while he was swinging the racket, took small steps with one foot and waited for his ball early.

Seeing my actions, the people on the sidelines couldn't help being a little surprised.Both Yu and Ryoma Kirihara watched my steps.

"That's not a one-legged step." Ryoma was the first to spot it.

"Yeah. That's definitely not a one-footed step." At first, Kirihara looked at my steps and felt a sense of disobedience, but he didn't know what was going on.But after listening to Ryoma's words, he knew what was going on.

Although the situation was the same as in the previous two rounds, he was running from left to right, but he stood there early and waited for the ball before the ball arrived.He didn't feel anxious until he hit the ball back, instead, he jumped with a relaxed expression.

Every time the ball is returned, it is returned with the right hand, or it is returned with the rotation of the racket.Whenever the ball is returned to the opponent's court, the ball leaves the original track instantly, and then appears in front of or behind the opponent like footprints, making it hard to guard against.

Even Errett, who had seen it before, was still unable to guard against it.

"Night Trace." I said warmly.

"The score is six to five, with Ye Ji leading."

Errett was panting and listening to the referee's report, and when he heard the score, he bit his lip and stared at me.On the other side, Xuanzong looked at me with a relaxed look, and felt a little strange in his heart.Not angry, even Xuanzong himself didn't know this feeling.

"Sometimes, I should thank you, Xuanzong. If it weren't for you, maybe I wouldn't be the Misakakiya I am today. Because, if you hadn't taken me away from Atobe's house at that time, maybe I wouldn't have loved my Uncle Yu And there is..." Uncle Sakaki...

Seeing that he couldn't help but stare at me dumbfounded because of what I just said, I looked at Sakaki on the sidelines.Sometimes, I really let Sakaki worry about me.

"As expected, you already knew." Xuanzong smiled and closed his eyes.

"I knew it a long time ago, that's why I respect and admire you so much."

Listening to what I said, he stopped stiffly.He said softly: "That really disappointed you..." He whispered, as if talking to himself.

The game ended with a score of [-] to [-], and Li Haida entered the semi-finals.

Xuanzong was no longer as arrogant as before, but remained silent for a long time.Until he passed me, I said, "Thank you."He didn't know how to respond to the thank you. He wanted me to never play tennis again, but now I still thank him.There was no trace of blaming myself, but a very sincere thank you.Let him not warm up for a long time.

"Why are you thanking him?! Obviously he made you like this, and even injured the senior!" Kirihara said angrily.

"You can't blame him. Sometimes you can only blame yourself, because you are not strong enough, so you get hurt or fail. If you continue to be strong, then maybe such a thing will not happen." Don't care about Kirihara Instead, I smiled and said.

And they listened but could not answer what I just said.Because, it was me who was really hurt the most, not them.They are nothing but so-called traumas.

I walked out and saw Sakaki looking at me.

"Uncle Sakaki, hello." I looked at his eyes full of worry and distress.When did he start to care about me so much, I really don't know.All I know is that he treated me like this when I came to Japan, caring, worrying, distressed, doting, and showing it to me from time to time.

"Yeah." Sakaki nodded and sighed helplessly.I saw him looking around, and he took my hand and left here.

"When will Xiaoye stop letting me worry about you?" He let go of my hand and embraced me in a place where there were few people, he said helplessly.

"I'm sorry for making Uncle Sakaki worry about me every time." I put my arms around his waist and said sullenly. "It won't happen next time... that... I'm tired, Uncle Sakaki, will you take me home to rest?" Halfway through the sentence, Sakaki, who was obviously about to scold me, immediately changed the subject and pleaded earnestly.

"I really can't do anything with you, Saya." Sakaki shook helplessly, and smiled after letting go of me.

Perhaps if two people really love each other, they don't need to express too much, they just need to look at each other's eyes to know what that person wants.

And Sakaki naturally knew that I was moving, knowing that he couldn't bear to see me exhausted, so he said that.

"I'm so tired, I'll "carry" you home." He said heavy words, watching my face slowly turn from pale to bright red, he bent down and hugged me with a smile.Seeing that I kept my head down and didn't look at him, he laughed even more.

"Laugh, laugh." I pursed my lips and said in a low voice.

"Hehe. This is just a punishment for you. Don't do it again next time. I'm worried about you." Sakaki knew that if he laughed at me again, he would ignore him, so he stopped smiling wisely.
