Murphy's Law states: If something can go wrong, it will, no matter how small the chance.

Even though no one wanted it to rain, raindrops still fell from the sky to the ground.

After everyone got off the bus, they walked towards the tennis court for about ten minutes. Suddenly, Guangyou felt a cool sensation on his cheek, as if water droplets had fallen on his face.

"It looks like it's really going to rain." Guangyou stopped and looked up at the gloomy sky, shaking his head helplessly.

They can't stop it from raining, since they have no control over the weather.

"Take out the umbrella first." Ai wiped the rain off her cheeks with the back of her hand, took an umbrella out of her bag, and handed it to Kōyū.

"What a pity, we finally got to go on vacation in Karuizawa." Kōyū took the umbrella, opened it, and held it over the two of them to keep them from getting wet.

There were enough umbrellas, and there was a spare one in the car; it's just that the two of them preferred the feeling of sharing an umbrella.

"It seems like it's raining..." Uncle Mori was walking ahead when he suddenly felt a drop of water on his nose, so he looked up at the sky.

"Could I really be that unlucky..."

If it's going to rain, does that mean he won't be able to see those "beautiful female college students"?

"Looks like it's going to rain." Xiaolan looked up and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Sonoko said in the car that it was just a joke, Ran was still a little worried, and Sonoko changed her mind again after arriving at the tennis court.

She didn't want to wear that dress.

"Ah! It's going to rain!" Sonoko glanced at the sky, then sighed. "We finally got out to play, and now it's raining!"

"Maybe it'll clear up in a little while," Uncle Mori reassured himself before cheering himself up again.

He had encountered weather conditions where the sky was overcast but no rain fell, or only a few drops of rain fell.

Although he wasn't sure if that was the case now, what if it was?

What if the weather clears up in a little while?

He also wanted to play tennis with those female college students.

"I hope it clears up." Sonoko said, looking up at the sky and muttering to herself, "Although I feel it's a bit unlikely."

At Uncle Mori's urging, the group set off again toward the tennis court.

...

After walking for several more minutes, the group could see the fence of the tennis court, and there was a sign by the roadside that read "Karuizawa Tennis Court".

Just then, the previously scattered raindrops became denser, hitting the umbrella surface with a crisp "pitter-patter" sound.

"Everything's ruined." Uncle Mori slowed his pace, sighing as he thought of the female college students who had all gone to take shelter from the rain.

"My tennis, my female college student!"

"Dad! Can't you be serious for once?" Xiaolan said helplessly, looking at her father who was not serious at all.

"Sigh, you don't understand my heartache." Uncle Mori suddenly thought of something and quickened his pace toward the tennis court.

If a female college student forgets her umbrella at the tennis court, then...

Seeing Uncle Mori suddenly quicken his pace, the others, not knowing what he was thinking, also hurried to follow.

They were only a few dozen meters away from the tennis court, and after walking for less than two minutes, the group stood in front of the tennis court.

The tennis court was empty; there were no "well-built female college students" at all.

"The weather was perfectly fine this morning," Sonoko complained, raising an eyebrow. "Why did it suddenly start raining?"

"A beautiful female college student..." Uncle Mori looked at the tennis court shrouded in rain, and his hopes were completely shattered at that moment.

"There's no way to play tennis like this." Unlike Sonoko and Uncle Mori, Ran smiled when she saw it was raining.

With the rain, this unreliable father could finally give up on his idea of ​​flirting with female college students.

"Should I be happy or regretful...?" Conan thought to himself, holding up his umbrella and recalling Sonoko and Ran's conversation in the car.

"Ah, I was really looking forward to seeing Ran playing tennis in my tennis skirt," Sonoko sighed, feigning regret.

"I'm very sorry, Sonoko, your hopes have been dashed." Ran was completely relieved, and she responded to Sonoko with a smile.

"But actually, this is quite good too." Conan turned around, looked at Ran who was smiling, and thought to himself with a smile on his face.

"Huh?" Kōyū's gaze inadvertently fell on a figure in the tennis court, and he said with some surprise, "Why is there still someone in the tennis court now?"

Why stand in the tennis court instead of seeking shelter from the rain after it starts raining?

This isn't exactly a place to enjoy the scenery.

"There really is someone in the tennis court." Uncle Mori also noticed the figure. He wasn't sure if he was seeing things, but he thought he saw that the figure had a braid.

Suddenly, a possibility popped into Uncle Mori's mind. He reached out and pushed open the door to the tennis court, took a step, and slowly walked into the tennis court.

"That person might just be a beautiful female college student..."

From a distance, Uncle Mori only saw a figure, but now that he's closer, he can tell the figure's gender.

That figure was male!

It wasn't a well-proportioned female college student at all; the person standing on the tennis court with an umbrella was a man with a small braid.

"What? It's a man." Uncle Mori's smile didn't last long before he wiped it away.
