Chapter 126 Tennis 14
Akutsu Jin left angrily.
His back even looked like he was running away.
Kawamura Takashi and Akutsu Yuki were left looking at each other in shock.
"Hmm, so weak in compliments?" Kurikawa Sana muttered to herself. Then, turning to the two people behind her, she asked with a worried look on her face, "Are you all right? Miss, and Kawamura-san from Seigaku."
"I'm fine. May I ask who you are?" Kawamura Takashi finally saw Kurikawa Sana's face clearly and was even more surprised. "I remember now. You're Kurikawa from Hyotei, the one who often comes to see Tezuka and Fuji!"
Kurikawa Sana: "..."
Okay, she is indeed "famous".
This Kawamura-kun is indeed a regular member of the Seigaku tennis team. Wait, he shouldn't go back and tell Fuji and the others about what she just said about Akutsu's nice muscles, right?
Don't do that! Fuji will definitely hate her even more...
But Kawamura-kun doesn't look like someone who would do such a thing... Never mind.
"Yes, I'm Sana Kurikawa, a third-year student at Hyotei."
Kurikawa Sana worriedly took out a tissue from her pocket and said, "Wipe it off, Kawamura-san. Does Akutsu-kun often do this to you?"
"Yes, Ah Ren is always like this. When he gets angry, he likes to throw water at people." The mature woman with short orange-brown hair said shamefully, "It's my fault for not disciplining him well. I'm such a bad mother..."
Kurikawa Sana subconsciously comforted: "No, no, how could it be... huh???"
The words of comfort got stuck in her throat, and Kurikawa Sana looked shocked.
Mother?! !
This beauty in front of me, who looks no older than 23, is actually Akutsu Jin's mother?! So, so young!
I'm so sorry for molesting your son in front of you just now!
Kurikawa Sana quickly bowed. "I'm so sorry! I just did that to your son... and I shouldn't have thrown water at him. It's wrong to fight violence with violence. I just saw what happened to Kawamura-san, and I was so angry for a moment..."
Akutsu Yuuki burst out laughing, "It doesn't matter. I'm so happy that someone can cure Jin. This is the first time I've seen Jin like that..."
If she saw correctly, Ah Ren's ears were red when he left just now.
That child always attacks everyone indiscriminately, slapping a girl once and a boy twice. As a mother, it was the first time she saw Ah Ren blushing in front of a girl.
But if it was the girl in front of her, then everything would be understandable. Yuuki Akutsu had never seen anyone so beautiful.
"Thank you, Kurikawa-san." Kawamura Takashi took the handkerchief handed to him by Kurikawa Sana and wiped his face, smiling as if his life was in vain. "It's okay for me. I'm used to Akutsu's personality."
Kurikawa Sana: "..."
No, how can I get used to this? To put it bluntly, this is bullying.
"Akuzu is a very important... friend of mine."
Kawamura Takashi said softly, "I've known Akutsu since he was very young. When he was young, he could easily defeat seniors who were much older than him. He was really confident and dazzling... These are things I don't have. I admire Akutsu very much."
Kurikawa Sana also began to listen quietly.
"I'm untalented and ordinary. I'm looked down upon by the seniors and other students on the school team. Only Fuji and Akutsu notice me. Akutsu has more talent than anyone else, but he still praises me by saying, 'You have quite the brute force,' and even secretly comes to watch my matches. No one else would do that except my dad..."
So that's how it is.
It turns out that they are childhood sweethearts who have known each other for mutual redemption.
Kurikawa Sana thought clearly.
Most people admire the strong. Kawamura admires Akutsu, and the tsundere Akutsu will also watch Kawamura's games quietly in the dark. In their hearts, the two of them regard each other as important friends.
It's just because Akutsu is suspected to be in the second-year syndrome and rebellious period, plus a little bit of super masculine attributes, which leads to this amazing way of getting along between them.
Adding the filter of his childhood, Kawamura has an even stronger desire to save Akutsu, to stop him from wasting his gifts and talents and to bring him back on track.
Kurikawa Sana also spoke softly: "Kawamura-san is a very gentle person."
"I'm a little envious of Akutsu-kun for having a friend like Kawamura-kun."
Even though he has become so violent and rebellious, he still has friends who treat him sincerely, and he also has... a mother who loves him. Kurikawa Sana lowered her eyes somewhat dejectedly.
Noticing the girl's sincere praise and sudden downcastness, Kawamura Takashi was stunned for a moment, then quickly praised her, "Kurikawa-san is also a very gentle person, not at all like what people say..."
Kurikawa Sana: "..."
Totally spicy!
What are people saying about her outside? Kawamura-kun, don't just tell half the story... There must be rumors among the students of Seigaku that she is pursuing Fuji and Tezuka at the same time, right?
Seeing the black-haired girl visibly petrified, Kawamura Takashi: “…”
His mouth moves quickly!
…
*
In the end, Kawamura Takashi tried hard to explain that things were not what she imagined, and Akutsu Yuki also enthusiastically added her contact information and asked Kurikawa Sana to visit her cafe whenever she was free, and she would treat her.
Hmm... Anyway, it sounds like her reputation at Seigaku isn't very good. Could that be a factor in her capture target's low favorability towards her? I wonder what her reputation is like at Hyotei?
Kurikawa Sana sighed.
Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore. I’ll know when I go back to Hyotei for class tomorrow.
"Weren't you so arrogant just now? Why are you sighing now?"
A deep male voice sounded.
Kurikawa Sana: "???"
The next second, she felt a heat on her wrist and was pulled into an alley nearby.
Pale skin, fierce expression, three-dimensional facial features, and well-developed muscles.
It was Akutsu Jin.
Um?
I thought this guy had left, but it turns out he was still waiting for her.
Kurikawa Sana blinked, "Is there anything else? Akutsu-kun."
"What's your name?" Akutsu Jin stared at her intently.
"Kurigawa Sana."
[Akutsu Jin, Favorability +3. ]
Kurikawa Sana: ...Ah?
Isn't it true that just saying a name can increase favorability? Could it be that her name also touched him in some way?
By the way, his attribute column says that all his favorite foods are related to chestnuts. Could it be because her last name is Kurikawa?
I understand. Sana Kurikawa decided to go to the drugstore and buy some chestnut-scented body spray. It smelled sweet and charming, but it couldn't make him fall in love with it.
"Give me your phone." Akutsu Jin held her hand, which was hot and strong enough to leave no room for escape.
"You're still so fierce." Kurikawa Sana raised her head and smiled at him. "If you say 'please give me your phone', I'll consider giving it to you."
Akutsu exploded immediately, his expression becoming even more ferocious, "Tsk... don't order me around!"
"Then take it yourself." Kurikawa Sana smiled with confidence, "If you have the ability."
“………”
She wasn't carrying a bag, only a white short skirt with pockets, where her phone was clearly. If he reached out to take it, he would inevitably touch her private parts...
Akutsu Jin closed his eyes.
Want him to say the word "please"? Ha, no way!
"Hey, you!——"
Kurikawa Sana screamed in surprise because Akutsu Jin suddenly picked her up sideways!
The sudden increase in height, the unexpected princess hug, the touch of the other person's hot body temperature and hard and erect muscles at close range, all the touches were so obvious that Kurikawa Sana's face turned red.
What is this guy doing suddenly?!
But soon, Kurikawa Sana knew what he was going to do.
She was suddenly picked up, and due to the influence of gravity, the cell phone she had originally placed in the pocket of her skirt slipped out.
Before the phone fell to the ground, a guy with full motor and reaction nerve talent points stretched out his long arm quickly, and caught her phone accurately with his broad palm.
Then, while holding her in his arms, Akutsu Jin quickly opened her mobile phone and started operating it, typing something with one hand.
Kurikawa Sana: "..."
No, does it have to be like this? How hot is it to say "please"? This extremely arrogant guy! If I have the guts, I will never give in!
As if he suddenly saw something, Akutsu paused in typing on the keyboard and frowned slightly, but quickly returned to his expressionless face.
Kurikawa Sana couldn't help but say, "Hey, it's almost time to let me down!"
Akutsu Jin snorted, put her down, and threw the phone into her arms.
He curled his lips and looked in a good mood.
"My name is Akutsu Jin, remember that."
After saying this, the tall, silver-haired boy turned around and left with his hands in his trouser pockets, leaving behind only a super cool and awesome back.
[Akutsu Jin, Favorability +5. ]
Kurikawa Sana: "..."
She slowly asked a question in her heart?
——Akutsu’s favorability has already reached 70 points.
A mature target will conquer himself, add his contact information manually, and increase his favorability by himself.
In view of his generous favorability, Kurikawa Sana decided not to complain about his late-stage chuunibyou personality.
So what did he do with her phone just now?
Kurikawa Sana opened her cell phone and saw that there was only one number left in her address book; the rest had disappeared.
The only number left had the note "Akutsu Jin", which he had just entered himself.
Kurikawa Sana: "..."
Help! What did this guy do to her already meager address book?!
He actually deleted all the numbers of other people in her address book, leaving only his own number. How could Akutsu be so childish!
The system soothed him: "Don't worry, it's not a big deal. I didn't get many people's numbers to begin with. I only got Shiraishi's contact information, and he added me on Line."
【That's good……】
Kurikawa Sana breathed a sigh of relief and finally got a taxi home feeling exhausted.
Tomorrow... I can finally go to Hyotei for class!

Meanwhile, late at night in Kanagawa.
A spacious and huge room, expensive mahogany furniture and a large bed, countless golden windows and red curtains, gorgeous golden-brown sheets... It seems that the style is completely different from the owner's preference.
Only the artistic atmosphere brought by the paintings on the wall and the illustrations decorated on the mahogany cabinets reveals a hint of literature and art.
The owner of the room is Yukimura Seiichi.
The boy with iris-colored curly hair was standing by the window in the moonlight, looking down at his phone in silence.
What was displayed on the phone screen was the text message he had sent, and the recipient was shown to be Kurikawa Sana.
[Kurikawa, my name is Yukimura.]
Are you feeling better?
A long time has passed, and both messages he sent have been shown as read, but there has been no reply from the other party.
No longer respond.
Is it true that as Ren Wang said, she has given up completely?
Or maybe, because she had been rejected too many times, so...even if she had seen his concern, she didn't want to respond.
Did she hate him?
Yukimura Seiichi closed his eyes.
As soon as he closed his eyes, the face of the black-haired girl, so beautiful that it was impossible to erase from his memory, and the forced and guilty smile on her face appeared in front of him.
【I am truly sorry for causing you so much trouble.】
"I won't do this again, Yukimura-kun."
Along with her face appeared the last words she had spoken.
The boy exerted a little force on the arm holding the phone.
After giving up on him, what about the others? Did she give up on them as well? Or was she the only one who gave up on him?
Is she focusing on Tezuka or Fuji? Or Hyotei's Atobe and Obito, or Osaka's Shiraishi Kuranosuke?
No matter what, you should never joke about your health.
We only have one life, it is so precious that we should not act recklessly in the limited time we have.
After unlocking his phone again, Seiichi Yukimura opened the chat interface with another person.
[Yukimura, I'm hosting a tennis tournament on a cruise ship next month. Will you, Rikkai University, participate? Hyotei will definitely be the winner this time!]
Yukimura Seiichi replied to the other party's message.
[Thank you for the invitation. All members of Rikkai University will participate, but the victory of the king Rikkai is without exception.]
After replying, Yukimura Seiichi closed his phone again and lay back on the bed.
The image of the black-haired girl falling down in front of him with a pale face at the beach in Kanagawa flashed again after he said some harsh words.
“………”
Yukimura Seiichi sighed softly, barely audible.
…

Tokyo, Kurikawa Sana's home.
[Yukimura Seiichi, favorability +9. 】
[Yukimura Seiichi's current total favorability: -9.]
? !!!!
The girl who had been lying down suddenly jumped up, and even the mask on her face fell off with a "click"!
"What's going on? Why did Yukimura suddenly gain so much favorability?!" Kurikawa Sana was shocked. "I haven't been in touch with Yukimura recently. Did Yukimura suddenly think of me in the middle of the night? Or did something happen that I don't know about..."
System: [No matter what, an increase in favorability is always a good thing.]
Kurikawa Sana was so moved that she wiped away a few nonexistent tears. "That's good news—although it's still negative overall, Yukimura's favorability has gone from negative double digits to single digits! This is truly a touching and significant development!"
system:【………】
It sounds like such sad self-consolation.
"I've gained so much today. Akutsu already gained 70 points of favorability on our first meeting, and Yukimura also gained so much..." Kurikawa Sana became happier the more she thought about it. She clicked on the favorability interface for everyone to check the overall progress.
As soon as I opened it, the huge line of words was shocking.
[Fuji Shusuke's current total favorability: -35.]
Kurikawa Sana's eyes went dark.
He opened and closed his eyes and fell into a baby-like sleep.
