Chapter 124 Tennis 12
Finally, the day ended with a nighttime light show at Hogwarts Castle.
The city walls, which are exactly the same as those in the movie, are ancient and dreamy, and the colorful lights reflected on the castle are full of modern feeling.
Gorgeous lights and music created a grand performance for all visitors to the park today. This wonderful day ended with a final dream unique to each visitor.
The girl was watching the light show, and the boy next to her was watching her.
The lights from the castle fell on Kurikawa Sana's fair face, illuminating her dazzling smile, just like when she was on the Sunset Roller just now.
Shiraishi Kuranosuke suddenly remembered the scene when he first saw her.
The girl who came to Osaka alone from a prestigious school in Tokyo was stunningly beautiful. From the moment she entered the gate of Shitenhoji School, Kurikawa Sana caught everyone's attention, even the calm Chitose Chisato and the knowledgeable Ken Oshitari in their team.
The same goes for Xiao Jin. Kintaro is not the type of person who would play a game of ball with everyone he meets. That day, Kintaro was like a child who wanted to attract the attention of beautiful things.
But she came to Shitenboji Temple for him.
Kurikawa Sana that day was completely different from the past two days. Her face was almost expressionless. Coupled with her exquisite and extremely beautiful appearance, she seemed even more out of reach, so much so that her purposeful steps towards him seemed out of place.
At that time, she asked expressionlessly, "Shiraishi-kun, can you add my contact information?"
——"Ah? Oh, okay..."
After getting his contact information, the black-haired girl left, like a human-machine, leaving him and his teammates looking at each other in bewilderment.
At that time, Kenya Oshitari said with a confused look on his face, "She came to Shitenhoji Temple specially to find you, so she likes you?", "And why do I always feel like I have seen her somewhere... That's right! I remember, I saw her on my cousin Yushi's mobile phone"!
…Qian also saw her on his cousin’s phone?
Shiraishi Kuranosuke said nothing.
Later, at a rare insect exhibition in Kanagawa, he met Kurikawa Sana again. They had some conversation at that time, but the girl still looked like an AI machine and never sent him a message after returning.
On the contrary, it was Seiichi Yukimura from Rikkai University, whom I met at the same exhibition, who took the initiative to add his contact information for the first time. They were both good at playing tennis and liked plants, so they had a great chat.
Shiraishi Kuranosuke had met Yukimura before during their three years of junior high school, but they had never added each other's contact information. This time, the "son of God" actually came over to chat. The two chatted about plants and tennis, and finally settled on the question of "Does Shiraishi also know Kurikawa?"
Shiraishi Kuranosuke was stunned for a moment, then smiled and replied, "Do you know him? ... Not really."
Someone went to great lengths to travel all the way from Tokyo to Osaka to add him, but never sent him any message. After adding his contact information, it has been in a waiting list. It really can't be considered as knowing him, right?
Until last night, she suddenly sent him a message saying that she was coming to Osaka and asked if he could accompany her on the trip.
Shiraishi Kuranosuke clearly remembers the surprise he felt when he saw that message.
【OK. 】
He replied.
Not long after I replied to the letter, she, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, actually appeared at Osaka Station.
When they met again, Kurikawa Sana had a bright smile on her face that was completely different from the day they first met, as if she was not the same person as the cold and aloof girl like an AI machine.
From then on, Shiraishi Kuranosuke heard the sound of a palpitating heartbeat.
And today's whole day of being alone together has allowed the voice in my heart to slowly bloom.
It's like a plant breaking through the soil in the heart, quietly poking out tender green buds, and gradually taking root and sprouting.
…
The lights were gradually getting smaller and darker, and the volume of the passionate music was gradually getting smaller.
Shiraishi Kuranosuke's memories and thoughts, which had drifted far away, also came to an abrupt end.
The music ended, the last light in the castle went out, and everything returned to peace.
Shiraishi Kuranosuke clearly realized one thing——
This dream-like day is about to end here.
"Wow...this is so exciting!" Kurikawa Sana turned to look at him, smiling and curling her eyes, "Thank you, Shiraishi-kun, for playing with me all day."
Shiraishi Kuranosuke lowered his eyes and looked at her.
After a long while, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "I should be the one thanking you, Kurikawa-san."
Thank you for spending such a wonderful day with me.
"Huh? It was Shiraishi-kun who accompanied me the whole day, so why are you thanking me..." Kurikawa Sana muttered, "And I feel like it's a bit weird that you keep calling me Kurikawa-san?"
Shiraishi Kuranosuke said smoothly, "Then can I call you by your name?"
"sure!"
"Well, Sana." Shiraishi Kuranosuke smiled, his Kansai accent pleasant and magnetic: "You can also call me Kuranosuke."
Kurikawa Sana: "...!!"
Foul, foul in Kansai dialect!
This magnetic voice, calling out her name with the unique enthusiasm of Osaka people, inexplicably made her bones go soft.
"Kuranosuke-kun..." Kurikawa Sana blushed.
"Sa, Sana." Shiraishi Kuranosuke imitated her.
Kurikawa Sana: "..."
Good, you are worthy of being the captain of a famous family of showmen.
"Hmm...it's already this late. I have to rush to the station. I have classes tomorrow..." Kurikawa Sana glanced at the time and felt like she was about to cry.
There wasn't much time left to complete the game, and yet I still had to go to class. What kind of suffering was this?
Hearing this, Shiraishi Kuranosuke was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously clenched his fists.
She is going back.
Will I be able to see her again? When will we meet again?
After I go back, will it be like before, where I can’t get even a single message for ten days or half a month?
Overwhelmed by a rare emotion called anxiety, Shiraishi Kuranosuke couldn't help but take a step forward, grasping the girl's slender wrist and asking directly -
"When can we meet again?"
“…Huh?”
Kurikawa Sana was stunned and looked at her grabbed wrist in surprise.
The silver-gray-haired boy blushed slightly and said in a hoarse voice, "Well, about the question you asked me last night... I won't agree to anyone I ask."
...Hmm? Last night's question?
By the way, last night she asked Shiraishi if he would be hospitable and keep everyone company whoever came to Osaka.
"I agreed to this because it's you, Kurikawa-san."
The silver-gray-haired boy's face flushed slightly, and his extremely handsome and perfect face was extremely lethal.
[Shiraishi Kuranosuke, Favorability +5. ]
Kurikawa Sana was stunned.
——Shiraishi-kun, 75 points of favorability.
She was wiping away tears frantically in her heart.
It’s decided, Shiraishi Kuranosuke is her white moonlight in this world!
During the time she has been in this world, all the conquestable targets have negative favorability towards her, but Shiraishi Kuranosuke's favorability is positive and increasing rapidly... Who wouldn't be moved by this!
Bai Shi, his name suits him.
It's simply the true light of the white moon!
"Kuranosuke-kun..." Kurikawa Sana sobbed with emotion, "You are so kind."
Shiraishi Kuranosuke fell into deep thought. Would he be labeled a nice guy if he continued like this?
But the next second, the boy's tall and straight figure froze.
Because, Kurikawa Sana also took a step forward and put her arms around his waist.
"As for when we'll meet again..."
"Next time, it'll be Kuranosuke who comes to me, okay?"
The girl's voice was sweet, just like the candy apples sold in Shinsaibashi, Osaka last night, exuding a charming fragrance.
——It also looks like the apple of Adam and Eve in the biblical legend, tempting people to approach.
“…”
Shiraishi Kuranosuke stood there in shock, as if he had been cast into a spell.
It took him a long time to find his voice, which had become extremely hoarse.
"…good."
[Shiraishi Kuranosuke, Favorability +5. ]
…

That night.
On the Shinkansen from Osaka Station back to Tokyo, Kurikawa Sana seemed to be sitting in her seat very calmly, but in fact she was already restless inside.
It's unbelievable.
After coming to Osaka, Shiraishi Kuranosuke's favorability increased to 80 points?!
There is no good ending for favorability that increases too quickly. Thinking back to the favorability that was taken away by Murasakibara Atsushi and Aomine Daiki in the first round of Basketball World, Kurikawa Sana trembled in fear.
But she always felt that Shiraishi Kuranosuke was different... Even though they had only spent a short time together, only a day and a half, she could tell that he was a very good person. She couldn't even imagine Shiraishi saying even a single hurtful word.
But there is one strange thing...
Kurikawa Sana asked in her mind: [Strange, system, you said Shiraishi's favorability is quite high, why didn't you ever mention my confession to him? Wouldn't he be confused?]
system:【………】
System: [I didn't use your body to confess my feelings to Shiraishi Kuranosuke.]
Kurikawa Sana: "!!!"
[Eh? Why... System, didn't you confess to everyone? Why did you leave out Shiraishi?]
The system calmly replied: [I had already obtained his Line contact information at the time. I planned to take it step by step and confess online after returning, but I forgot about it the moment I turned around.]
Kurikawa Sana: "..."
Okay, you are worthy of being the system.
"No wonder I always felt like Shiraishi-kun was so easy to get along with. Turns out he sees me as pretty normal. I didn't just throw in a bunch of nonsense right off the bat..." Kurikawa Sana breathed a sigh of relief. "That's great! Finally, I have a target who's had a normal start, and I haven't been screwed by the system."
The system was silent for a moment.
The social circles of people in the tennis world are very small. Everyone knows each other, especially those from the top schools: Seigaku, Hyotei, Rikkai University, Shitenhoji...
In other words, perhaps before long, Shiraishi Kuranosuke will know that "Sana" has confessed to many people.
By then, he will find out that Kurikawa Sana has confessed to everyone except him, Shiraishi Kuranosuke.
system:【………】
I wonder what Bai Shi will think when the time comes.
…
*
It was already late at night when they returned to Tokyo. Kurikawa Sana walked out of the station and waited on the roadside, ready to take a taxi home.
call……
A little tired.
These days, the high-intensity special forces schedule and the frequent travel between multiple locations have made even she feel tired.
…but finally there was a reward!
Kurikawa Sana felt warm in her heart when she thought of Shiraishi Kuranosuke's favorability level of 80 points.
I'll go home and take a comfortable hot bath to celebrate~!
A taxi was seen not far away. Just as Kurikawa Sana was about to wave happily, she heard a noisy sound coming from behind.
"Akujin! Stop being so willful. Yuuki is just worried about you—"
"You're really annoying, Kawamura!"
"Aren, you're injured, aren't you? You didn't come home these days because you didn't want me to worry..."
"You nagging old woman!"
Huh? She's such a beautiful female voice, why are you calling her an old woman?
Kurikawa Sana looked in the direction of the noise in confusion. There were three people standing in front of the convenience store at the station entrance. One of them was a woman with short orange-brown hair. Her mature and beautiful face, whose age seemed beyond recognition, was full of worry.
The man with the most aggressive tone had his back to her. He was tall and muscular, with a cold white complexion and wild white upturned hair, exuding the temperament of a bad boy.
The "Kawamura" being scolded is a seemingly honest and simple boy wearing a blue and white sports uniform. Wait, a blue and white uniform...why does it look so familiar?
Isn't that the uniform of Seigakuen? The Seigaku that's on the same team as Fuji Shusuke!
So, isn't it possible that this Kawamura is Fuji's teammate? If I help this Kawamura, might Fuji's favorability increase? Thinking of this, Kurikawa Sana pricked up her ears and continued to observe quietly.
"Yuuki, she's just worried about you! Akutsu, stop being so stubborn. Your talents and abilities are so superior—"
"Tsk, this is so annoying! Stop ordering me around!"
The white-haired delinquent boy seemed to have been unable to bear it any longer and poured the can of drink directly on Kawamura's head. The sweet liquid flowed from the top of Kawamura's head to his eyebrows, nose bridge and chin, making his honest face look even more shocked and helpless.
Seeing this, the woman named Yuuki couldn't help but cover her mouth and screamed, "Ajin! How could you treat Aron like this again?!"
“?!!”
Kurikawa Sana felt that she had a good temper, but even she got angry after seeing this.
Pouring a drink on someone's head is extremely insulting... and it sounds like this isn't even the first time this guy has done this. It's really bad.
Even if the boy named Kawamura was not a member of Seigaku, Kurikawa Sana was planning to go up and speak up for him. With the god-level item [O'Neal Possession], she knew a little bit about fighting and was not afraid at all.
There was a vending machine in front of her. Kurikawa Sana bought a bottle of grape-flavored Ponta, opened the pull tab neatly, and then walked straight towards the white-haired boy.
"Kawamura, who do you think you are? Stop making me laugh—"
Akutsu Jin paused mid-sentence. With his animal-like instincts, he sensed footsteps approaching rapidly from behind, and he subconsciously turned around.
Then, a cold liquid was splashed in his face.
It is a grape-flavored carbonated drink.
Just like what he did to Kawamura Takashi just now.
“……!”
Yuuki Akutsu gasped in surprise, and Takashi Kawamura looked stunned. Both of them looked at the black-haired girl who suddenly appeared in front of them in shock.
An unprecedented anger surged from Akutsu Jin's chest.
A great shame and humiliation.
No one had ever dared to do this to him.
Akutsujin gritted his teeth and grabbed the man by the collar, "Hey—you want to die?!"
Then, the next second.
He met the girl's eyes.
Akutsu Jin was suddenly stunned.
“……!”
…How could there be a guy who looks like this?!
Under the white street lights at night, the girl in a bright blue round-neck knitted shirt has fair and translucent skin, delicate and soft features, and an extremely beautiful face.
Those beautiful, clear blue eyes, like gemstones, showed a toughness and calmness that was completely opposite to her fragile appearance. She looked straight at him without fear.
She is not afraid of him.
Akutsujin's pupils suddenly shrank, and all the muscles in his body tensed up instantly as if he was facing a great enemy.
Who is this guy? !
Yuuki Akutsu from behind yelled nervously, "Ani, let me go..."
Kawamura Takashi was almost angry, which was rare. "Akutsu, are you going to hit a girl?"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, but Kurikawa Sana was not afraid at all. She had seen extremely vicious kidnappers, so why would she be afraid of a delinquent boy who was obviously in the middle school syndrome period?
Not only was she not afraid, she even smiled sweetly at the other person and said, "Classmate, I'd like to treat you to a bottle of grape soda. You're welcome."
"Do you like it?"
Her voice is sweeter than grape soda, and up close, the girl's breath smells like orchid.
Akutsu Jin: “……!!”
In just a moment, Akutsu Jin let go of his hand as if he had been electrocuted.
But he didn't let go completely. He just changed the action of grabbing her collar to grabbing her hand to prevent her from escaping.
at the same time.
With a "ding" sound.
Kurikawa Sana was dumbfounded.
