Do not sleep

By the time Atobe Keigo and the others returned to the room after soaking in the hot spring and having dinner, it was already around eleven o'clock in the evening.

This hot spring hotel belongs to the scope of private homestays. Although it is large in scale, because it is not the peak tourist season, there are relatively few tourists staying in these days.

In addition to a few sporadic college students who came to the hot spring hotel to sketch in the mountains during this season, the Ice Emperor Academy Tennis Club, the Youth Academy Tennis Club, and the Tennis Club of the High School Affiliated to Lihai University, these twenty or so members, have been in the past few days. The main guest in the hot spring hotel.

Therefore, when the owner of the hot spring hotel arranges the living room, the three large rooms where Keigo Atobe and others live are far away from the rooms where other tourists live, so that it is not easy to disturb each other.

However, although it is far away, it is not easy to be disturbed, but due to the winding structure of the retro Japanese-style corridor inside the hot spring hotel, and the unique deserted silence in the middle of the night in the mountains.

Moreover, in such an ancient hot spring hotel, although the interior of the hot spring hotel is brightly lit because it is in line with modern times, in the external corridor connecting the courtyard, in order to exaggerate the atmosphere, these places use ancient lanterns and candles, and the light is dim .

Imagine that in a hot spring hotel, you don't need a waiter to lead the way, and you walk alone in the dimly lit retro-style ancient building corridors.

In the distant mountains and forests, you can faintly hear the low chirping of some insects and birds, and there may be some "creaking" sounds when stepping on the wooden floor under your feet, and the lanterns with dim lights sway gently with the breeze on the winding corridors and corridors. .

The figure twisted and swayed under the light. Occasionally, I accidentally caught a glimpse of my own shadow, and maybe I would be startled by this twisted shape.

After dinner in the restaurant of the hot spring hotel, due to the relatively fast speed, Kikumaru Eiji from Seigaku, Mukahidake from Hyotei, and Marui Bunta from Tachikai Dai were the first to leave the large group and go to the room of the hot spring hotel rest.

On the only way to the resting room of the hot spring hotel, Kikumaru Eiji and the others will pass through this quiet ancient winding corridor that seems to have traveled through time.

If you pass through this ancient corridor during the day, it is brightly illuminated by the sun. Looking at the rockery and flowing water in the courtyard, you will feel the feeling of ancient charm, which makes you feel relaxed and happy.

But if it was such a quiet and dark night, and there were only three sporadic people passing through this ancient corridor, Kikumaru Eiji, Mukahidake and Marui Bunta would all feel that this place is a bit scary!

"...Is this corridor leading to our room?" Looking at the dark environment with twisted shadows, no matter how careless he was, Marui Bunta still shrank his neck involuntarily.

Did they come out of this corridor in the morning?Why is the time different, and it feels so different? !

"This is the way back to the room." Kikumaru Eiji who stopped at the intersection of the corridor swallowed and said calmly.

"What are you afraid of, it's not like you haven't passed by!"

"Shouldn't it be better for us to walk together after the ministers come over?" Fumta Marui whispered, grabbing the sleeves of Hiyake who was beside him.

"They'll be here right away."

"...It's a joke, what's so scary about this!" Xiang Riyue's voice sounded loud, but it sounded like he was emboldened.

...However, the three of them ran in front of the main force together before, and now they stopped here in this corridor. Later, the little friends Ninaku Yushi and the others came to ask about the situation, how would the Hiyake people answer?

Afraid of ghosts? !

"It sounds so nice, go first if you have the ability!" Kikumaru Eiji urged.

"...I'll go as I go, you guys just follow me, don't fall behind." Xiang Riyue insisted.

1 minutes passed like this.

"...You're walking away." Eiji Kikumaru looked at Muko Hiyake who was motionless beside him, speechless.

"The atmosphere in this corridor is really scary. It's very similar to a ghost story that King Ni told before." Marui Bunta tugged on Hidake's sleeve and shook a little.

"You, you, shut up!" Xiang Riyue jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Go back to the room and turn on the light, it won't be so scary, there are still Xiaotai and the others in the room." Kikumaru Eiji said as if he didn't know who to cheer up.

"The light is ahead, meow!"

"Oh." To Riyake & Marui Bunta.

So, another minute passed.

"...Tezuka and the others are really coming if we don't leave." Eiji Kikumaru rolled his eyes and said, "Did you hear that, their voices are approaching."

"Then let's go." Xiang Riyue stood motionless.

"Let's go." Marui Bunta, who was tugging on Kohitakeren's sleeve, also moved with his mouth.

"...Let's go." Kikumaru Eiji kicked Higashito and Marui Bunta, who were pulled together, forward.

It looks a bit gloomy, but in fact, this deep wooden corridor connected to the courtyard is not very long. I secretly give myself courage, and I will be able to pass through this corridor soon.

When entering the aisle at the door of the brightly lit room from the dim exterior corridor, Xiang Riyue let out a long sigh of relief and said, "What, don't scare yourself, okay, this is coming."

"You must have been more scared just now." Eiji Kikumaru muttered in a low voice, and slowly opened the sliding door of the room.

"Then who knew that the atmosphere in the corridor just now was a little scary." Marui Fumta rolled his eyes, and flipped on the switch of the chandelier in the dark room.

...the lights were not on, and the room was still pitch black.

Occasionally, a little light from the corridor comes in through the sliding door of the room, and there are a few crooked and sporadic points, which can't be seen clearly.

"Hey, is the light broken?" Xiang Hiyue was stunned for a moment, then jumped to Marui Bunta's side and stretched out his hand to press the switch a few times.

The room was still dark.

"Let's go to the hotel waiter to take a look, the lights in the room are not on." Xiang Riyue said something in his mouth after pressing against the wall for a long time.

But the strange thing is that Marui Bunta and Kikumaru Eiji who were standing beside him didn't make a sound, and they didn't move for some reason.

Oh, no, Marui Fumta moved a bit, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed Xiang Hiyake's wrist.

"...Wen Tai, why are you shaking?" Feeling that the hand holding him on his wrist was sweating, Xiang Riyue suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Yue, Yue, Yueren...don't look back yet." Eiji Kikumaru took two steps back, unable to see the way in the dark, and bumped into Xianghiyueren beside him.

"What's the matter?" Xiang Riyue turned his head boldly, and then.

"..."

"what------------"

"Help————————————"

The time was a little earlier, and a few minutes before the screams from the hot spring hotel room sounded, Keigo Atobe and other large troops were on their way to the room a little behind.

"After this week's training camp is over, next week will be the official competition." Wearing a yukata and walking on the wooden floor of the hot spring hotel, Fuji Shusuke said with a happy expression.

"I really look forward to seeing you on the field."

"To each other." Masaharu Nioh and Hiroshi Yagyu walked together and said jokingly.

"No, you have to show some energy. You always like to play a few rounds before going all out. Be careful that you lose your game during the game."

When he was playing against his opponent, he intentionally lost the first few rounds, and then he fought hard to catch up at the match point, and the latecomer prevailed. It has to be said that Zhou Zhu's bad taste is also full.

——Guanchu, who fought with Fujisuke back then, is probably still under psychological shadow now.

"That's right, be more serious about the last national competition in high school." Kirihara Akari, who also played against Fuji Shusuke and was impressed, also had an aggressive tone as always.

"This is the fun of playing tennis." Shusuke Fuji looked at Keigo Atobe aside with a smile, and said.

"Atobe thinks so too?"

"It doesn't matter to me." Keigo Atobe didn't care about the process of playing tennis, anyway, it was enough for him to win in the end.

"I think it's fine as long as Tezuka doesn't get injured again in this competition." This was the only thing Oishi Shuichiro cared about.

As soon as these words came out, Echizen Ryoma, Ninazu Yuuji, Sanada Genichiro and others immediately looked over.

"Hmph, it's still a long way off." Echizen Ryoma said while crossing his chest.

"That's right, the competition in the third year of junior high school was too scary." Ninzu Yushi clicked his tongue and said.

"After that match in Atobe, it seems like I haven't touched the racket for several days."

When Tezuka Kunimitsu heard this, he involuntarily glanced at Keigo Atobe beside him.

"I'm just busy looking up information. I introduced the sanatorium that Tezuka rebuilt back then." Keigo Atobe clarified what Yushi Ninzu said.

Just kidding, Keigo Atobe has such a strong mentality, how could it be possible to cast a shadow because of a game. Back then, he was just busy contacting a sanitarium suitable for Tezuka Kunimitsu's reconstruction, so he couldn't take care of training for the time being.

"The sanatorium you introduced to Atobe is very good, and my arm has been fine for a long time." Tezuka Kunimitsu said calmly.

"That's right, Tezuka is currently playing job online abroad, and if his arm injury doesn't heal, he won't be able to persist until now." Liu Lianer said with a little emotion as he spoke.

"Our group of tennis players didn't expect that there were not many people who became professional tennis players in the end."

In the Youth Academy, Echizen Ryoma, who inherited his father's career, needless to say, another person who really embarked on the road of professional tennis player is Tezuka Kunimitsu.

In the tennis club of Lihai University Affiliated Middle School, the only one currently playing professional tennis is Yukimura Seichi.

As for the Ice Emperor Academy, it’s a bit unbelievable to say, but it seems to be understandable when you think about it carefully. None of the members of the Ice Emperor Academy’s tennis club have embarked on the path of professional tennis players. This is also related to their family background .

After all, Lian Ri Ji Ruo, an active member of the club who has been thinking about playing tennis all day long, has calmly accepted that he will inherit the family business in the future, let alone other people.
