"Tetsuya, you are so inferior, you actually asked a girl from Utsunomiya-san to stand up for you."

During the break after the second round, Takehara Ryota, who was unilaterally beaten by Miu Utsunomiya, was no longer as high-spirited as he was in the first round. With a depressed face, he could only vent his resentment on Tetsuya Kiritani.

"Ryota, remember that choice is far greater than hard work. This is the life principle I want to teach you through this tennis lesson."

After being ruthlessly ridiculed by Takehara Ryota, Kiritani Tetsuya didn't show any anger on his face. Instead, he patted the other party on the shoulder and said sincerely.

"Just wait and see, I will definitely defeat you in the next game."

Takehara Ryota rubbed his nose with his hand and said reluctantly.

"Ryota, you said one less word. You didn't want to defeat me, but you wanted to defeat us."

Kiritani Tetsuya slowly shook his head, and at the same time pulled Utsunomiya Miu, who was passing by, to his side, and said with a triumphant expression.

"Zheye, anyway, let's see you in the next game."

Seeing that Utsunomiya Miu suddenly entered the conversation between him and Kiritani Tetsuya, Takehara Ryota's aggressive aura was reduced by half in an instant. After uttering the last words, he quickly left Kiritani Tetsuya's side.

At this time, Kiritani Tetsuya was still immersed in the joy of defeating Takehara Ryota repeatedly in the previous round, and he didn't even notice that his right hand was still holding Utsunomiya Miu's wrist tightly without letting go.

"Kiritani-san, I know you are very grateful to me for helping you win the bragging rights in the game just now, but you don't need to use all the energy you saved in the previous game on me. Your hands are sweaty.

It’s almost seeping into my skin.”

It wasn't until he heard Utsunomiya Miu's complaint that Kiritani Tetsuya noticed that the girl's smooth wrist was still firmly in his hand, and he quickly let go of his hand the next second.

"Utsunomiya-san's athletic ability is really outstanding, which makes me a little impressed."

After letting go of the opponent's arm, Tetsu Kiritani did not forget to praise the opponent's outstanding performance in the previous round.

"I've said it before, since we are in the same boat now, I won't let you lose the game."

Utsunomiya Miu said with a relaxed expression, but after speaking, she looked at Kiritani Tetsuya opposite with a bit of contempt.

"But please move a little bit from behind. Kiritani-san won't just rely on me to win the game."

"Didn't I find an opportunity to take action?"

Kiritani Tetsuya tried his best to defend his paddling behavior just now.

"In the next game, I promise to rely on my own strength to get a point from the opponent, so that's okay." Kiritani Tetsuya said with confidence.

"So I'll stand in front later?" Utsunomiya Miu asked.

"I feel quite comfortable behind you." Kiritani Tetsuya smiled.

"shameless."

Utsunomiya Miu looked at Kiritani Tetsuya with deep contempt.

At this time, the third round of the game was about to begin. The two people who had finished the conversation picked up the rackets placed beside the bench and returned to their own court.

It seems that they are gradually adapting to each other's playing style. Compared with the surprise and confusion in the previous round, the couple team of Takehara Ryota played more logically in this round, although they still couldn't get enough from Utsunomiya Miu.

One point was scored, but at least the original one-sided situation gradually became more balanced.

Miu Utsunomiya, who was running frequently in the frontcourt, also began to feel a little exhausted. Both her movement speed and swing strength showed a slight decline, and the look on her pretty face was no longer the same.

It's as easy as the last game.

Even so, relying on her strong hard power, Utsunomiya Miu still managed to score three goals in a row, bringing the game to the match point again.

It can be said that as long as Kiritani Tetsuya wins one more goal, this game will be completely won.

Thinking of this, Kiritani Tetsuya, who had been standing in the backcourt in a daze, couldn't help but tighten his nerves at this moment, eager to end the game quickly and brag in front of Takehara Ryota.

It's just that because it came to the match point, this last ball was obviously more anxious than every previous ball. The couple team of Takehara Ryota also showed full resilience at the last moment.

As a result, Kiritani Tetsuya and the two were unable to score the last goal.

Under Kiritani Tetsuya's full attention, the tennis ball that had just flown to the opposite court was hit back by the opponent. The timing of the counterattack was so sudden, and the ball was too fast that even Utsunomiya Miu almost didn't react.

"Here it comes, this is the time!"

Seeing that the high-speed moving tennis ball was about to fly over Utsunomiya Miu's head, Kiritani Tetsuya, who was already highly concentrated, seemed to have found an excellent opportunity to perform. His body that had been static for a long time suddenly rushed out like a spring, imagining that he could be freed by himself.

End this game yourself.

But what he never expected was that Utsunomiya Miu, who quickly came to his senses, was also unwilling to save the ball. Her whole body was tense and she repeatedly stepped back at the same time. Unfortunately, she was too late.

Tetsuya Kiritani was hit by a violent collision when he braked, and they all fell to the ground in an instant.

"ah!"

The man and woman who collided invariably let out a scream of pain, which immediately attracted Ryota Takehara, Rei Amano, and many students taking tennis lessons around them.

When a group of people gathered around the scene where the accident occurred, they happened to see Utsunomiya Miu's whole body pressing on Kiritani Tetsuya's body. The position of her buttocks was just in contact with the boy's lower abdomen. One of her fair calves was due to

He suffered a certain degree of injury from the collision just now.

Under the curious and surprised crowd, Kiritani Tetsuya, who was pressed below, slowly moved away from Utsunomiya Miu's delicate body. After seeing a trace of pain on the girl's face, he asked with concern.

road:

"Utsunomiya-kun, are you okay?"

"My left foot seems to have sprained just now."

Utsunomiya Miu frowned slightly, spoke in a struggling tone, and began to touch her left foot with a pair of small hands.

Following the direction of Utsunomiya Miu's little hand, Kiritani Tetsuya did see that the girl's left ankle was obviously red and swollen.

Judging from the degree of swelling, it seems that the pain is quite serious.

"Let's go to the infirmary first."

Seeing this, Kiritani Tetsuya frowned, said a few words and then stood up. At the same time, he hugged Utsunomiya Miu's entire body like a princess, and left the crowd under the surprised eyes of the girl.
