Chapter 152 Tennis 40

"Sana, what are you thinking about?"

Shiraishi Kuranosuke's voice was clear and pleasant, and it immediately brought Kurikawa Sana's thoughts back from a distance.

Kurikawa Sana was stunned for a moment and looked up at the boy in front of her.

The other person still had that textbook-handsome face, and her figure was reflected in his chestnut-brown eyes as he looked at her.

Oops, I made him worried.

Kurikawa Sana felt a little ashamed.

Last night, she picked up Shiraishi Kuranosuke at Tokyo Station. After dinner, they watched the bustling night view of Tokyo Tower. This morning, they checked out Kaminarimon, Asakusa, Ginza, Ikebukuro, Akihabara, and Shibuya in the city...

But when she reached Shibuya Crossing, she couldn't help but become distracted, and her thoughts returned to the scene of the previous week.

The lone grinder in the volleyball world also took her to every inch of the bustling Tokyo. Finally, between the world's busiest intersection and the hustle and bustle of Shibuya, he said to her that he always felt that she would disappear at any time.

He was really a very smart and perceptive person. When no one else noticed, he had already realized that she was about to leave.

But even so, he still chose to say to her: "Just keep going forward, I will try my best to catch up with you."

However, faced with such wonderful young men, in order to gather 100% favorability, she chose such a tragic way of leaving in the previous world.

When she came to the same place again and stood at the Shibuya Scratching again, Kurikawa Sana couldn't help but feel a little dazed when she recalled what the boy said.

"Sana, what's wrong with you?" Shiraishi Kuranosuke rubbed her head with some concern. "You were fine in Ikebukuro just now. Are you feeling unwell after coming to Shibuya?"

As time passed, the person who accompanied her on the streets of Shibuya again became a boy named Shiraishi Kuranosuke.

Stop, don't think about it anymore.

Kurikawa Sana shook her head violently and slapped her face to wake herself up. "It's okay, it's okay. Sorry, Kuranosuke-kun. I might have been a little distracted because I was sleepy."

[Shiraishi Kuranosuke, Favorability +1. ]

"Sorry, if it wasn't for you to accompany me shopping, Sana wouldn't have to get up so early." Shiraishi Kuranosuke said apologetically, "Do you want to go back and rest first?"

"No, no, didn't you say you wanted to buy the Olympic limited edition co-branded sneakers? They're very popular, and if you miss out, they might be gone." Kurikawa Sana cheered up again, "That store is almost here!"

"good."

…

"Hey, young man, you have a good eye. Your size is the only pair left in Tokyo and it's sold out. The price is 68,000 yen." The shoe store owner said with a smile.

"Really? I'm so lucky!"

The boy who bought the sneakers he had been dreaming of was instantly beaming with joy, as if he had found a long-awaited treasure, and he took out his wallet to pay for it without hesitation.

Kurikawa Sana standing by opened her mouth in surprise.

At this price range, you can buy sneakers with your own pocket money whenever you want. That's really impressive.

From the hotel Shiraishi Kuranosuke stayed in Tokyo last night, it was clear that he was another player from a wealthy family. However, his usual cheerful demeanor brought him such a strong affinity that it was easy to overlook this fact.

And from the words between his lines, Kurikawa Sana also roughly understood that Shiraishi's family is happy, his parents love him and his family is well-off, so he has become a person with high energy and good personality.

"That's great, Kuranosuke-kun, I finally bought it." Kurikawa Sana said with a smile.

"I'm sorry that I made you run around with me to all these places, to five stores in Ikebukuro and Shibuya before I could buy it."

Shiraishi Kuranosuke rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "These shoes are completely sold out in Osaka. They said online they might only be in Tokyo, so I tried my luck and found the last pair."

"It means that what belongs to you is destined to be yours." Kurikawa Sana sighed.

Shiraishi Kuranosuke was stunned for a moment.

What belongs to him is destined to belong to him...

So, what about things other than sneakers? Will the same be true for them?

"Ah, so Kuranosuke-kun came to Tokyo mainly for the limited edition sneakers?" The black-haired girl pretended to be hurt. "After all, they're only released for a few days..."

"...That's not the case!" Shiraishi Kuranosuke blushed. "The sneakers are just a side note... Mainly, I want to see you!"

Kurikawa Sana: "...!"

She made a slight move, but was countered by Shiraishi's straight attack!

That’s so unfair!

…

On the other side, at the second-floor handrail of the same shoe store, three people from Youth Academy were looking at each other in confusion.

"Momoshiro, am I seeing things?" Kikumaru Eiji pointed downstairs in surprise. "Is that Kurikawa from Hyotei? Who's that giant ikemen next to her?"

When the stunningly beautiful black-haired girl and the tall, fresh and handsome boy walked into the store together, they naturally attracted everyone's attention as if they were glowing.

But for some reason, as soon as they came in, Kikumaru Eiji subconsciously pulled Momoshiro Takeshi and Inui Sadaharu, who came to buy shoes with them, to hide, and directly occupied the best view position on the second floor to start observing from the outside.

When he finally realized what was happening, Kikumaru Eiji fell into a brief silence and began to think about why he did that.

The final conclusion was that it was all Gan's fault. They always formed a group to secretly follow Kawamura Takashi's love affairs, so they all developed this muscle memory.

I really didn't expect that on an ordinary weekend, the three of them would get together to buy new rackets and sneakers, and they would encounter such gossip. I can only say that Tokyo is really small.

"Kikumaru-senpai, you didn't see..." Momoshiro Takeya opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Is Sana-senpai on a date? Doesn't she like Captain Tezuka and Fuji-senpai? And Hyotei's Atobe and Obito? This looks like a completely new person!"

Kikumaru Eiji: "..."

Wait, there are so many flaws in this short sentence! The scary thing is that what he said seems to be true!

Can the human heart really split into so many petals at the same time?

"Come to think of it, it seems like she hasn't come to Seigaku to see Captain Tezuka and Fuji for a long time. Does she no longer like them?" Kikumaru Eiji touched his chin curiously.

"I'll ask Tezuka and we'll find out." Inui Sadaharu either kept silent or spoke with a powerful move. "I'll call him right now."

Momoshiro Takeshi: "!!! As expected of you, Senior Inui!"

Kikumaru Eiji was also shocked. "Isn't it expensive to make an international call to ask this? Tezuka is in Germany now!"

"It's okay." Inui Sadaharu calmly dialed the number and the other party answered it quickly.

"Tezuka." Inui Sadaharu said.

"What's the matter?" The voice on the other end of the phone was as deep and mature as ever, not at all like that of a junior high school student.

Inui Sadaharu's glasses reflected the light, "There's a very interesting piece of gossip that you'll definitely be interested in. Do you want to hear it?"

With a "click", the other party hung up the phone.

The only sound left was the "beep, beep, beep" of the busy phone, as if accusing him of being bored.

Gan Zhenzhi: “…”

Tezuka is still the same, so cold and cruel.

Momoshiro Takeshi: "...Senior Inui, are you always so humble in front of Captain Tezuka?"

Kikumaru Eiji also had a helpless expression on his face, "As expected", "I knew it, it would be strange if I could get it out of Tezuka."

"No, you don't understand." Inui Sadaharu shook his head and persevered in dialing again. "Whenever Tezuka and I call, we usually don't get to the point until the second call. This is a rule between him and me."

Momoshiro Takeshi: "...Isn't this just a waste of phone bills?"

Inui Sadaharu ignored Momoshiro Takeshi's complaints and answered the phone again.

Tezuka Kunimitsu's voice was flat again: "What's the matter? Go ahead, I'm preparing to check and film."

This time, Inui Sadaharu went straight to the point: "Tezuka, I ran into Kurikawa and the captain of Shitenhoji in Shibuya. They were on a date."

“………”

This time, Kunimitsu Tezuka did not hang up immediately, and there was a rare silence on the other end of the phone.

The silence from the German side seemed to be contagious, causing the three people in Shibuya, Tokyo to fall silent as well.

The only sound in the air was the sound of breathing, and the three of them stared at each other.

“……………………”

Something is wrong.

Even Momoshiro Takeshi felt something was wrong, and he and Kikumaru Eiji exchanged glances quickly.

Something's wrong, Captain Tezuka didn't hang up the phone this time! !

How is it possible that Captain Tezuka, who is as cold as an iceberg, would stop for such gossip?!

After a while, there was finally a response from the other end of the phone.

Tezuka Kunimitsu: "Fuck, you're boring."

Then, with a "click", the phone was finally hung up.

Inui Sadaharu made a judgment: "Let me translate it. What Tezuka meant by this sentence is - Damn, I know you want to see my reaction. I really want to ask further, but I can't let you see through my thoughts, so Tezuka said, 'Damn, you are boring.'"

Taocheng Wu: “…”

Kikumaru Eiji: "..."

This is horrible! Damn!

How on earth did they infer so much from those few words from Minister Tezuka? And yet they actually thought there was some truth to it!

Inui Sadaharu curled his lips. "Tezuka's tone was 33.3% surprise, 33.3% speechless, and 33.3% disappointed, with the remaining 0.1% still to be determined."

Kikumaru Eiji couldn't help but complain: "...Is there some kind of fan-shaped diagram hidden in Tezuka's voice message? Damn, you must be making it up."

Inui Sadaharu: "No, this is my precise calculation."

Tezuka definitely has special feelings for Kurikawa Sana.

He cares about Kurikawa Sana.

Taocheng Wu glanced at the handsome guy downstairs and said in a low voice, "Come to think of it, that's the captain of Shitenhoji. He's really the intelligence of Gan Senior. He even knows this!"

Kikumaru Eiji: "No, what's more interesting is Tezuka's reaction! He didn't even hang up the phone right away this time!"

Momoshiro Takeshi suddenly realized: "Could it be that... Captain Tezuka also cares about Sana-senpai?!"

Oh.

I'm afraid Tezuka is not the only one who cares about this.

Gan Zhenzhi curled the corners of his mouth and continued to make another call.

"?"

Who else should I call for this?

Momoshiro Takeshi and Kikumaru Eiji looked at each other in confusion.

Soon, they realized that what they were doing was just to watch the fun and make trouble.

The call was connected, and Inui Sadaharu continued like a machine: "Fuji, I ran into Kurikawa and the captain of Shitenhoji in Shibuya. They were on a date."

Takeshi Momoro and Eiji Kikumaru: "..."

It was exactly the same as the last call, not a single word changed.

But what's the point of calling Fuji? Fuji had rejected Kurikawa Sana a long time ago, and everyone knew it. Fuji wouldn't care.

However, something unexpected happened.

Like Tezuka Kunimitsu, Fuji Shusuke on the other end of the phone also fell into a brief silence.

A mysterious light flashed through Inui Sadaharu's square lenses again.

interesting.

After a while, Fuji Shusuke's voice finally sounded.

He asked another question in return, "Shitenhoji, is that school in Osaka? Is that person from Osaka?"

Inui Sadaharu: “?”

What kind of weird focus is this?

But Inui Sadaharu still replied: "Yes, it is Osaka."

Fuji Shusuke: "I understand."

After saying this, Fuji Shusuke hung up the phone, leaving only three people looking at each other in the stairwell on the second floor of the sneaker store.

Momoshiro Takeshi: "What happened to Osaka?"

Kikumaru Eiji: "Yeah, what happened to Osaka? Fuji's focus is so strange... Wait, who else are you going to call?"

Oh my God, how many more are there!

Inui Sadaharu: "Call Echizen."

“…?!!”

The arrogant junior student answered the phone even slower than Tezuka Kunimitsu who was far away in Germany. When he did, his voice was lazy and a little impatient, as if he had finally fallen asleep and was woken by the phone call: "Senior? What's going on?..."

Inui Sadaharu finally changed his opening line this time: "Echizen, are you interested in coming to Shibuya to buy shoes with me?"

Echizen Ryoma: “?”

Echizen Ryoma: "I don't want to..."

The boy's voice was almost speechless. "Are you okay?" The doubtful expression seemed to fly through the phone.

Inui Sadaharu said nothing, but just put the phone down a little bit——

On the first floor, Kurikawa Sana had been chatting with Shiraishi Kuranosuke, enjoying a good conversation. The other party was the captain of Shitenhoji, a famous "showman" who was very good at making jokes and entertaining people.

I don't know what Shiraishi Kuranosuke said, but Kurikawa Sana was successfully amused by him, and her attention seemed to be completely focused on him, without any hesitation.

I didn't see any old acquaintances from Qingxue upstairs.

The girl's laughter is sweet, clear and melodious.

The message was transmitted to Echizen Ryoma's phone through Inui Sadaharu's phone.

The boy suddenly stopped.

"Where are you?"

The boy who was lying on the bed suddenly sat up.

"I came to see you, senior. I just happened to need a new pair of sneakers."
