lost to yellow ball

Early the next morning, Kili Kushima got up even though he was sleepy and took Edogawa Conan to Teidan Elementary School.

"I'll pick you up after school." Although she was wearing private clothes, Ji Li's obviously young and immature face still made Ji Li feel out of place with the older parents around her. She bent down slightly and stroked Conan's hair, and gave him a little by the way. Qian: "This is today's pocket money. Remember to eat something delicious in the cafeteria at noon."

Conan Edogawa felt extra complicated when he got the pocket money from his sister.

"Sister Ji Li, can I go to my friend's house to play this afternoon?"

Because I said before that Kudo Shinichi told him that he would always be with Ji Li, so the excuse of going back to Lan's house was not good, so he had to find another reason.

Jili Jiudao responded without thinking too much: "Yes, I will take you there."

Conan:  …

When he was about to say something, Ji Li turned around and pushed towards the school gate.

"Okay, we're going to be late. Come on in."

Seeing Conan enter the school gate, Ji Li took another look at the elementary school he almost entered.

Why almost... Because Kudo Shinichi cheated the seven-year-old girl of her snacks very shamelessly, so she cried loudly and refused to go to the same school as Shinichi.Parents were too lazy to coax her, so they went through the formalities again and went to Bingdi Primary School.

What are you doing today...

Kili Kushima was walking on the street, replying to Nanako Kobayashi's news, a little aimlessly.

Her current life is quite boring to say the least, every day she either goes to school or goes shopping with friends, or stays at home and waits for Yukimura to come back.

Now suddenly there are two things missing, and I feel empty all of a sudden.

shop?One doesn't really want to go.

Looking for someone to play with?Most of her friends are students, and she will definitely have class on Monday, who can she find?

The 17-year-old female high school student Kili Kushima stood in the streets of Tokyo, lost in confusion.Suddenly she heard shouting nearby, and the nature of human beings who love to watch the excitement drove her to go over. It turned out that there were a few people playing tennis in a nearby park, and a circle of people cheered and cheered.

Kushima Jiri, who was about to leave after a glance from a distance, suddenly stopped.

She seemed to be hesitating, but this hesitation disappeared when there was another round of cheers, and she became more confident.

……

An hour later, Kuri Kushima, who was holding a borrowed tennis racket on his shoulder, looked at the unconvinced faces of those people on the street tennis court and said, "Something interesting?"

"what?"

Kushima Jiri smiled slightly.

……

…………

Two hours later, Ji Li, who put down his racket, stretched out his hand and beckoned to the person lying on the ground.Those people wailed for a while, but they had to force themselves to take out their wallets, took out the agreed amount and handed it to Ji Li's outstretched hand.

"Thank you." Jiri Jiudao was not short of money, but the money he won felt particularly fulfilling.She smiled and waved to them, "Thank you for playing with me, bye."

A leader of the street tennis court stopped Ji Li, "Which school's tennis club are you from? You play very well."

"I'm not from the tennis club, I just played before." Kili Kushima shrugged.

"Then do you want to form a team with us? There will be a competition in a few days." The person's eyes lit up, and he said that the competition was actually organized by themselves in their own circle, and there was a rule that no one could join the tennis club or the club Come and compete.

"No," Jiudao Jili refused, "but...if you want to gamble, I can think about it."

Playing tennis isn't fun, but winning money isn't bad.

Leader: ...

He slandered Ji Li inwardly. He looked well dressed, but he didn't expect to be so short of money.

"Wait, you haven't played with me yet." A blond-haired man who looked fancy came over. He had been observing Ji Li's tennis appearance since the very beginning, and he stood up at this time to make sure that he was fine. under the decision.

Jiri Kushima: "..."

She glanced at the blond man and raised the money in her hand: "I've won enough, I won't play anymore."

"Oh?" The blond man froze for a moment, and he quickly said, "Are you scared?"

"If anyone who comes here has to accept the challenge, then don't I want to live here 24 hours a day?" Ji Li, who originally just came here to pass the time and wanted to see what is good about Yukimura Seiichi's favorite tennis, didn't The idea of ​​hitting it all the time.

But some people didn't want her to go.

A few people who had lost money surrounded her just now, with the intention of not letting her go out properly.

Ji Li became impatient, "Are you going to rely on the number of people? Or are you going to let the police come over and explain the truth." When she is indecisive, calling the police is also a habit she has carried on.

The blond man obviously didn't expect that anyone else would call the police. He looked at the people with him, coughed and said, "Just fight one game. If we win, you keep the money. If we lose, you will lose money." Double the bet. How about it?"

"...All right." Although Jiri Kushima didn't care about the amount, the feeling of winning was still a bit addictive.

In the end, what she didn't expect was that several people could be shameless like this.

Jiri Kushima: "Doubles?"

The golden retriever and his companion, the red hair, put their shoulders together and said with a smile: "You can choose anyone here to fight together. Of course... if you can't find anyone, you can admit defeat." It seems to be seeing Ji Li's expression was not good, and he said confidently: "Hey, with such a high stake, it doesn't seem too much for us to ask for it?"

Letting a person who is not a professional tennis player play doubles with someone he is not familiar with is simply messing around.

She's not a tennis genius.

Should I call someone to help?That's too embarrassing.Ji Li refused to have this idea.

At best, they were just a little bit better than those on the street tennis courts. Jiri Jiudao looked at them, and the people who were looking for them were obviously unrealistic, with malicious intentions written all over their faces... just directly Did you slip away?Just as she was calculating like this, a voice came from a distance.

"Her teammate is me."

"Mr. Orihara." Kuri Kushima was already immune to the seemingly ubiquitous Orihara Rin, and her focus was on: "Can you still play tennis?"

"Ah, I thought my appearance was very handsome." When Orihara Lin also walked from the entrance of the tennis court, he took a racket from someone on the road, and took it directly to borrow it without any psychological burden. Beside Li looked at the golden and red fur with a smile on his face: "It's 2 vs 2 now, let's fight."

The golden retriever spat and wiped his face, "Let's start."

Jiri Kushima: ...

She didn't seem to say she wanted Orihara Rin to be a teammate too, did she?

During the competition, Ji Li found that although Jin Mao and Hong Mao didn't look like powerful characters, they did cooperate tacitly in doubles. There was only one person on her side who could stand up, and it was a bit of a disadvantage in the fight.Orihara Lin doesn't even know how to play tennis, he doesn't even understand the rules.

Kushima Jiri: "Mr. Orihara, are you here to play me?"

Golden Retriever copied Orihara Rinya even more unceremoniously: "Do you still want to stage a hero to save the beauty with this little skill? I think you should reconsider yourself!" After several rounds of back and forth, he was convinced that Orihara Rin was just a Make up the number, very confident serve hit the past.

Facing Ji Li's words, Orihara Lin also blinked red eyes: "... Ah, the ball is coming!" He swung the ball back with quick eyesight and quick hands, but the purpose was not just to return the ball, but to hit the ball on the ground. body.He walked to the net, looked at the golden retriever in surprise and said, "Oh, I'm so sorry. My technique is so bad, it seems that I didn't return to the right place."

The originally disharmonious atmosphere on the field was filled with an atmosphere that would explode at the slightest bit due to Orihara Rinya's deliberate actions.

Ji Li who just wants to go for a walk after playing: ...

Her tennis was taught by Atobe Keigo, and there were some traces of him in her playing. Ji Li, who didn't want to export the money she got, began to recall what Atobe said when she was teaching.Although my physical fitness has dropped a bit, the memory of my hard work and my body has not disappeared.

After the golden retriever's racket was shot down by her for the second time, the look on the other side became serious.

As a girl, it is very normal to be physically weak.What's more, Jiu Dao Ji Li had already played for two hours before. When he realized that the golden retriever and the red hair were going to play a long game, Ji Li had already had some signs, and he couldn't catch up with the steady ball, and the ball he played was not strong enough.

Orihara Rinya was originally used as a mascot to occasionally return the ball, and now he receives more than Ji Li.

Lost.

Kuri Kushima put his hands on his knees and gasped for breath.

The golden retriever and the red retriever who won the competition came over, and they said triumphantly, "Hey, hand over the money."

It's not an honor for them to win, but they did win, Ji Li sighed, and took out the money he just won, "Here."

"The amount doesn't seem right. The bet we're talking about is twice the amount here."

"you!"

The golden retriever didn't even look at the amount of money in his hand, and frivolously wanted to grab Ji Li's hand, but Orihara Rin also opened it, and the money in the other hand was taken away, "Hey, what are you doing! ?”

Kili Kushima's men were grabbed by Orihara Rinya in a second. She looked up at him suspiciously, and was dragged away before she could speak.

"I'm going to run away." Orihara Lin also smiled at her.

"Ai?"

Ji Li was pushed forward by a force, and forced to run, followed by golden and red fur chasing angrily, and Orihara Rinya running in front.

……

…………

Kili Kushima leaned on the wall, panting and unable to speak.

Orihara Lin insisted on dragging her to escape for things that could be done with money, and even went to some corners, so that she almost thought she was doing parkour.

"You..." After saying a word, Ji Li closed his mouth again.

Throat is so dry.

Orihara Rinya's physical condition was not bad, he bought two cans of carbonic acid from the vending machine next to him, and threw one to Ji Li.

After drinking the cold soda, Ji Li felt alive again.

"call……"

Orihara Lin also opened a soda and took a sip, "I didn't expect Miss Marlene to play tennis." He deliberately suppressed his throat while speaking, and stared at Ji Li's appearance with red eyes without blinking. It feels like they care about something.

Kushima Jiri: "Isn't it okay to have a little hobby?"

She didn't intend to call at first, but she didn't expect Orihara Lin to jump out and look confident, but she ended up hitting like a beginner.

...and finally ran away.

Then why is she so tired, playing doubles there alone like a dog.

"Don't be so fierce," Orihara spread out his hands, "I even bought you a drink."

Jiri Kushima: ...

Why don't you say you took the money away?

The author has something to say:

Ji Li: I can't beat it, I want to run away

Lin Ye: I'm coming

After a while

Lin Ye: We can't beat it, let's run.
