Because Momoshiro and Echizen took the initiative to ask for a doubles team, and Aigaku is also trying to cultivate a new partner. Although Mr. Ryuzaki thinks that these two people have too distinct personalities and are not suitable for forming a team, he also agrees with them to give it a try.

I don't know if it's to preserve his strength or there are other considerations. On the final registration form submitted, Tezuka did not play, and the singles team was played by Shusuke Fuji.

The No. [-] doubles of the rival school Yulin Middle School once played against Momoshiro and Echizen on the street tennis court. They met again. They thought they were not good at doubles and could win easily, but they still lost in the end. Soon, he was taken down by Qingxue, who was proficient in all aspects.

Although he knows that with Qingxue's strength, it is impossible to lose in the first round of the regional competition, but after seeing the list of promoted schools, Maki is still very happy.Tezuka meticulously treats every game and every practice, so that every victory won is more valuable.No matter how small the progress, no matter how unknown the opponent is, he never slacks off, goes all out, and approaches his goal little by little. This is what makes Maki feel the most dazzling.

Because the game ended early, the other team members went to take a break. Tezuka and Fuji stood next to the field in the next area and watched the game that was still going on.

The broadcasting work in the morning has all ended. Although I couldn't watch it at the scene, Maki still wanted to say hello to Tezuka before the game in the afternoon. After finally arriving at the competition venue, I couldn't see everyone!

Follow the signs and walk towards the Qingxue competition area in the morning, and at a glance, you can see a tall and slender figure in the crowd, wearing the blue and white sportswear of Qingxue Zhengxuan, standing next to the arena with arms folded, with no expression on his face as usual.Standing next to him is his team's Fujisuke.

"We're going to play against Mizunokawa High School after lunch, right?" As he approached, he heard Fuji confirming the afternoon match schedule with Tezuka. Just as Maki was about to say hello, a man in a brown sportswear walked over from the other side of the field. The tall boy showed a hostile expression when he saw the two of them.

"Tezuka Kazufu?" The unfriendly tone made Maki frowned, and couldn't help but look at the boy who was obviously looking for trouble.

"Are you collecting information on the enemy?" The sarcastic tone didn't change Tezuka's expression in the slightest, and the provocative party didn't seem to care. I heard that you did not appear in the Yulin battle..."

"Perhaps, it's because you can't make an appearance?" The malicious tone, gloating look, and the words contained words made Maki involuntarily look at Tezuka's face.

Ignoring the other party, Tezuka turned around directly, and the other party who was ignored became angry and grabbed the joint of his left elbow: "Why don't you let me see your arm? Do you have any secrets to hide?"

Maliciously increased the strength of his hand, originally expecting to see the other party's pained expression, but was surprised to find that Tezuka didn't move at all, it didn't look like his arm was injured at all.

Could it be... is he really all right?But obviously I heard...

Throwing off the opponent's restraint, Tezuka didn't even glance to the side, and quickly left the venue with Fuji. Maki stood still and looked at his back, frowning worriedly.

From what that person said, Tezuka's arm was injured and he couldn't play, so there was no game arranged?But seeing how much he trained before, it didn't look like he was injured!But that kind of thing can't be groundless, right?what is going on?

I wandered to the restaurant absent-mindedly, and there were already more people queuing at the window. I ordered a beef rice dish, and just as I got the plate, I heard a boy in the line next to me screaming: "Eh? The beef rice is sold out." Is it? Fortunately, I am still looking forward to it..."

"I'm so sorry!" The aunt at the sales outlet smiled apologetically, "Young man, let's try something else."

Taocheng touched his growling stomach, feeling that he was really unlucky today.

Teaming up with Echizen to win the doubles and being fined to kneel down, and being suspended after the game. After finally getting in line for lunch, I didn’t get the beef bowl I wanted to eat for a long time. What a miserable day!

A tray was handed in front of him, and the beef rice on it was still steaming, Taocheng raised his head reflexively, and saw the girl who had come to the school to look for the minister last time standing beside her.

"It seems that I have bought the last beef bowl. Give it to Momoshiro-kun, and I will buy others." Maki said, and reported the name of a set meal to the window, and at the same time turned the tray towards Momo The direction of the city was pushed.

"That's not good, is Asai-senpai?" Recalling the name he mentioned during the last introduction, Momoshiro scratched his head in embarrassment.Anyway, asking a girl to give her the lunch she bought is a bit... Besides, the other party is someone the minister knows.

"It's okay, Mr. Taocheng will have a competition in the afternoon, right? How can you get good grades if you don't have enough to eat." Zhenji waved his hand dismissively.

It was lunch time, and there were almost no vacant seats after leaving the team with a plate in hand. Momoshiro felt lucky that the tennis club had already occupied a seat in advance, and warmly invited Maki to sit with him.

"Good afternoon, everyone." Compared to the people who were a little surprised, Maki's attitude was generous, and after greeting everyone in a friendly manner, he sat down next to Tezuka naturally, disappointing those who wanted to watch the show—— He thought that ordinary girls would be embarrassed to do this.

"Congratulations for winning the game in the morning, and you will continue to work hard in the afternoon!"

"By the way, senior, did you come to see the minister's competition? I didn't see you this morning." Originally, she had a cheerful personality, and Maki also gave him the beef rice she bought, which made Taocheng feel psychologically. I got to know Maki a lot, and when I heard Maki talking about the game in the morning, I naturally asked this question.

"I didn't make a special trip to see it. I'm in charge of the broadcasting of today's match, but I've paid close attention to everyone's results! Mr. Taocheng is playing doubles today, right?"

"Please senior sister, don't mention this matter again..." Taocheng groaned.

The talkative and laughing boys talked loudly while eating lunch. Maki glanced at Tezuka who was sitting upright beside him.

The words that I overheard on the sidelines flooded into my mind uncontrollably, and Maki's gaze unconsciously swept over Tezuka's left elbow covered by the sportswear, hesitating to speak.

After all, she had no position to ask him such a thing, let alone in front of his team members, even if she asked, she would definitely not get any answers.However, I was so worried about it, once this emotion started, there was no way to stop it. Questions and worries that were about to move rushed to my mouth several times, and I was forced to swallow it again. Maki picked up a piece of fish steak and took a small bite, forcing himself Stop looking at each other.

"What's the matter?" Sensitively aware that the girl seemed to have something to say, Tezuka slightly turned his head to look over, but only saw Maki's quiet side face.

"It's nothing." Trying to suppress the restlessness in his heart, Zhenji replied as calmly as possible, "By the way, I haven't congratulated you properly yet. Congratulations on the victory in the first battle."

"Thank you." After nodding seriously, Tezuka hesitated and asked, "You don't look well, are you feeling well?"

Just as Maki was about to say something, Momoshiro heard Tezuka's question on the tip of his ear. He glanced at the beef rice in front of him, and then looked at the untouched fish steak in Maki's bowl. , with a blushing face: "Should I be a senior or do I want to eat beef rice?"

A group of boys started to make fun of Momoshiro's unreliable guess, Tezuka pushed his glasses and whispered: "It's really a noisy guy."

"I heard from Mr. Taocheng that you didn't play in the game this morning? Why?" Seeing that the opportunity was not lost, Maki thought about it and chose a question that sounded more natural.

This is a common question. If I hadn't heard those words, Maki would not have any confusion about Tezuka's absence from the game, but once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will keep growing and sprouting. She couldn't see anything during the practice, and she still couldn't let go.

After all, he just cared too much about this person.

It seemed that he didn't expect Maki to ask such a question. Although Tezuka's expression didn't change, there was a hint of doubt in the depths of his eyes behind the lens, and he looked at Maki inquiringly.

"Actually, I saw you just now." After pondering for a while, Zhenji saw that no one else seemed to be paying attention to the situation here, so he lowered his voice and said, "It's next to the F area."

Tezuka's eyes widened slightly.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean it, but... I heard what the man in the persimmon tree said."

Now that the question has been asked, Maki no longer has any scruples, she looks directly into Tezuka's eyes: "Are you... injured?"

Her heart was pounding as if she was going to break through the upper limit. Although she looked calm on the surface, Maki knew how nervous she was.

What if Tezuka replied directly that it was none of her business?What should I do if my heart is detected because of asking such a question?What if... he really couldn't play due to injury?

It didn't take long, and she felt like years had passed.

"It's just the need for tactical arrangements. I'm not injured." Tezuka's voice sounded cold, but Maki was greatly relieved, and his tense nerves immediately relaxed.

Maybe it was because the relaxed look was too obvious, she hurriedly added: "That's good, because it feels... Tezuka-kun attaches great importance to the appearance of this competition. If he is injured and cannot play, it will be... a pity."

I don't know if it was Maki's illusion, but she always felt that there seemed to be a hint of a smile in Tezuka's eyes.
