Chapter 150 Tennis 38
Tokyo, commercial street.
After school, a girl in Hyotei's school uniform sat blankly on a bench, holding a large bouquet of bright and juicy roses in her arms, and her extremely beautiful face was full of confusion.
The girl's outstanding temperament and irresistible beauty attracted the attention of people coming and going. People passing by the bench where she was sitting unconsciously slowed down their pace or even stopped.
"This is so beautiful... She's a student from Hyotei Academy!"
"Go up and ask for contact information?"
"Don't think about it! Didn't you see the flowers in her hand? She must already have a partner!"
…
Kurikawa Sana, who was at the center of the topic, was still in a trance. She could not hear the tiny sounds around her, but just stared blankly at the screen of her mobile phone, her expression still confused.
On the mobile phone screen, there were three latest messages.
[Shiraishi: Sana, I'm taking the 7:00 shinkansen to Tokyo tonight. Do you want to have dinner together?]
Yukimura: Your heart rate was elevated last night. Are you feeling unwell?
[Atobe: Did you receive my flowers? Today's variety is Elsa Rose. If you're interested, you can look up its meaning.]
“………”
Looking at the three messages received almost at the same time, Kurikawa Sana's expression remained confused.
Help! Putting the information of these three people together makes her look even more like a sea king! Ugh…
When she was in Kanagawa over the weekend, she never took off the bracelet that Yukimura gave her, and she also turned on the function of continuously uploading heart rate data to the cloud, so Yukimura, who was far away in Kanagawa, could also see her heart rate data through the app, and even saw that her heart rate accelerated last night.
As for why her heart rate suddenly increased last night... it was because that time happened to be when Atobe confessed his love to her on the Hyotei rooftop covered with flowers -
Kurikawa Sana covered her face in shame.
I'm so ashamed, so ashamed that I made Yukimura worry...
And there is Atobe. Since he confessed his love to her, he really did what he said and started sending her a bouquet of flowers every day.
Oh, right, he said the flower language of Elsa's rose...
Kurikawa Sana opened Google and searched, then was slightly stunned when she saw the results displayed on the phone screen.
The flower language of Elsa rose is - love at first sight.
"I admit that I have a good impression of you." - The boy's deep and magnetic voice last night seemed to appear in his ears again.
Recalling the boy's handsome face and unwavering confession under the grand fireworks last night, Kurikawa Sana's face couldn't help but turn a little redder.
Atobe-kun...
Who is attacking whom? This is so unfair!
While thinking this, Kurikawa Sana replied to their messages one by one while crying.
To Shiraishi——【Sana: Sure, sure! Let's have dinner together. What would you like to eat, Kuranosuke-kun?】
To Yukimura——[Sana: It's okay, it's just normal heart rate fluctuations. Thank you Yukimura-kun for your concern! I'm fine now~]
To Atobe——【Sana: The flowers are beautiful, thank you, Atobe-kun.】
After replying one by one, Kurikawa Sana felt like she was about to have a split personality.
In the last message she sent to Atobe, she almost typed Atobe's name as Yukimura, but luckily she didn't send it out accidentally.
Just when Kurikawa Sana felt her conscience was being tortured, a message like a clear stream came in - the sender was shown to be Tezuka Kunimitsu.
Kurikawa Sana: "!!!"
Ah, it's a message from Tezuka-kun!
Tezuka-kun…what would he say?! It’s hard to imagine that the iceberg-like Tezuka-kun would actually send me a message.
What day is it today? My capture targets from all four schools have sent me messages? ...
Kurikawa Sana nervously opened the message dialog box, only to see a message displayed on it:
Tezuka: Good afternoon, Kurikawa-san. Grandpa wants to invite you to go fishing.
The other party was concise and got straight to the point.
There is no ambiguity, only pure greetings from the fisherman.
Kurikawa Sana: "…………"
Ah, this is indeed Tezuka-kun.
Tezuka: The location is the same as last time, by the river. The time is tomorrow afternoon. I wonder if Kurikawa-san is free?
Tomorrow afternoon...that's not a good idea. Shiraishi will be arriving in Tokyo tonight, and I have to accompany him to visit Tokyo this weekend.
[Sana: Sorry Tezuka-kun, I have something to do tomorrow and can't go fishing with you T0T]
Tezuka: I understand. It was I who was abrupt.
Kurikawa Sana quickly said, "Don't be abrupt! I'm free other than this weekend. When will Tezuka-kun and Grandpa go fishing again?"
Tezuka: I won't be returning to Japan for about a month or two. I'm in Germany now, not Japan.
? ? !!
Kurikawa Sana was stunned, somewhat surprised by this sudden news.
The showdown between Tezuka and Atobe seemed like it was only a short while ago, yet Tezuka is already in Germany in the blink of an eye… Perhaps he's going there to get treatment for his arm injury?! German orthopedics seem to be quite famous.
Sana: Huh?! That's so sudden... Are you going to Germany for arm treatment?
Tezuka: Yes, I will be back before the national competition.
It turns out that he went to treat his arm.
The scene of the double battle that day seemed to be still in front of her eyes. Until now, she could still remember the shock brought by Tezuka Kunimitsu's indomitable will. Kurikawa Sana was a little dazed.
She didn't reply for a while, and Tezuka Kunimitsu's chat box interface flashed for a moment, and he rarely continued to send messages.
Tezuka: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it.
Tezuka: I just think that treatment is a perfectly normal thing, and there's no need to announce it to the world.
Eh? Is Tezuka explaining this? Kurikawa Sana blinked in confusion.
Because she didn't reply to the other party for a while, Tezuka thought that she was angry because he suddenly went to Germany without telling her at all?
Well, Tezuka had no obligation to report to her... She was just shocked that Tezuka suddenly ran off to Germany.
Moreover, his favorability towards her was not high to begin with, Tezuka's favorability towards her was only 47, so it was normal that he did not tell her that he was going to Germany.
Sana: I'm glad Tezuka-kun is alright. I wish you all the best in your treatment and recovery in Germany!
[Sana: I'll wait for you to come back and go fishing together~]
After these two messages were sent, the other party quickly replied: [Thank you.]
[Tezuka Kunimitsu, Favorability +3. ]
It seems that Tezuka's strategy can only be continued after he returns from Germany, Kurikawa Sana thought.
At the same time, information from Yukimura Seiichi also came one after another.
Yukimura: Speaking of which, Kurikawa-san, I saw on the app that the wristband is uploading heart rate data 24 hours a day. Do you wear it all the time?
Kurikawa Sana typed back: [Yeah, I even wear it in the shower. Isn't this bracelet waterproof?]
“………”
The other party seemed to have fallen into silence and did not respond for a long time.
The words "the other party is typing" appeared repeatedly, appeared, disappeared, and reappeared, but no message was sent for a long time.
Huh? What's going on?
Just when she was confused, the voice of increased favorability arrived before the other party's message.
[Yukimura Seiichi, favorability +2. 】
Kurikawa Sana exclaimed "Ah" and then understood.
Ah, Yukimura... Could it be that he was silent for so long because he remembered that she was wearing the bracelet he gave her when she was taking a shower without clothes?
Thinking of this, Kurikawa Sana blushed belatedly.
Ah, this... He actually accidentally teased the other person in this way. Yukimura is still "inputting" until now. Can the "Son of God" also be shy?
Finally, Yukimura Seiichi's message came.
Yukimura: Sorry, my hands aren't very mobile, so I'm typing slowly.
Kurikawa Sana: "!!!"
She sat up straight, and instantly lost all her romantic feelings. She asked quickly, "Huh? How immobilized are you? Does it hurt?"
Yukimura: Don't worry, it's just that I can't move my fingers much, and they're not as flexible. Dr. Nakamura said everything will be back to normal after the surgery.
Yukimura: Back to the bracelet. If you feel uncomfortable wearing it, you can take it off, such as when sleeping.
Kurikawa Sana blinked slightly and felt a sense of sadness.
Really... His condition is so serious that he can't walk and his hands can hardly move, but he is still worried that she will feel uncomfortable wearing the bracelet 24 hours a day.
Her fingers flew across the screen and she quickly replied—
[Sana: It won't be uncomfortable, this is the bracelet Yukimura-kun gave me, I won't take it off.]
【Sana: I will always wear it.】
With a "ding" sound.
[Yukimura Seiichi, favorability +3. 】
The boy’s message continued to light up on the phone screen.
Yukimura: I understand.
Yukimura: The nurse sent me for a checkup. We'll talk later, Kurikawa-kun. Don't worry about my condition.
Yukimura: I hope that Kurikawa-san will be happy and joyful every minute of your time.
Kurikawa Sana was stunned for a while.
The words in the text message on the mobile phone screen seemed to turn into the gentle and pleasant voice of Yukimura Seiichi, playing in my mind.
【Sana: Okay.】
Kurikawa Sana's eyes became sore and moist, and at this moment, Shiraishi Kuranosuke's message came back.
Help, so much information——
Shiraishi: I can eat anything! Sana, what do you want to eat? I'll treat you! (laughs)
Wait, the topic I was talking about with Shiraishi before was... oh yeah, we were discussing what to eat for dinner tonight.
One second she was still immersed in the emotions brought about by Yukimura Seiichi, and the next second she was about to reply to Shiraishi Kuranosuke. Kurikawa Sana (split personality) (the version that received Shiraishi-kun) quickly replied:
Sana: How about Western food? I want some baked rice with cream!
Shiraishi: Okay! Huh? What a coincidence! I love creamy baked rice, too.
Of course it’s not a coincidence, because I saw in your attribute panel that your favorite food is cream baked rice.
Shiraishi: I'm really looking forward to it. This is the first time I'm looking forward to Tokyo this much. (laughing emoji)
[Shiraishi, see you tonight, Sana.]
There was a "ding" sound.
[Shiraishi Kuranosuke, Favorability +3. ]
…
After replying to all the messages, Kurikawa Sana finally put down her phone. She felt her conscience condemned again and fell into shame.
Perhaps it was because of the system's tricky operation at the beginning of this tennis world that her "Iron Chain Boat" was discovered by the conquest targets, causing her to feel a sense of guilt in this world that she had never felt in the previous two rounds.
Shiraishi-kun knew nothing about this, but Atobe and Yukimura knew.
Last night, Atobe made it clear that he was aware that she was still involved with someone else. However, the gorgeous young master had absolute confidence in himself, so he turned a blind eye to her behavior and would not lower his favorability towards her because of it.
She understood the meaning behind the eldest young master's words, which roughly meant that it didn't matter who she continued to pursue. Because he, Keigo Atobe, was confident that he would definitely be the best among them and that he would not lose to anyone else.
Yukimura, who also knew about her behavior, still showed her great care, which made her feel guilty.
Kurikawa Sana took a deep breath.
In short, it’s all the system’s fault!
If it weren't for those fancy operations done by the system at the beginning, how could she be emo!
system:【………】
System: [Sorry, my fault.]
Kurikawa Sana: [Hmph!]
Come to think of it, Keigo Atobe confessed his love to her last night, and she is still holding the bouquet of roses that Atobe gave her.
But in the evening, she would have dinner with Shiraishi Kuranosuke, who had come all the way to Tokyo, and travel around Tokyo with him on the weekend, as a token of gratitude for the time he took her to Osaka last time...
At the same time, Yukimura Seiichi is also enduring painful treatment and waiting for surgery with unknown results in a hospital in Kanagawa, but she is...
“…!!!”
Wow... She couldn't help but feel more and more upset and angry the more she thought about it, and more and more guilty and ashamed.
Kurikawa Sana knew that she had fallen into an unnecessary misunderstanding. But even though she knew it, she still couldn't break free from the vortex of emotions for a moment.
If someone passed by her at this moment and saw the messages she was sending to so many people at the same time on her phone, they would definitely look down on her...
Just as Kurikawa Sana lowered her head sadly and ashamed, a bear came in front of her.
“……?”
Yes, it's a bear, literally.
A pair of furry brown bear paws suddenly appeared in the field of vision. Kurikawa Sana raised her head in surprise and met the bear's eyes.
The other person was wearing a brown bear leather suit, a common puppet costume seen in amusement parks. His face couldn't be seen clearly, and he didn't speak.
His bear costume had soft brown fur and a pair of blue eyes, but you couldn't see the person inside from the outside.
Kurikawa Sana looked at him in surprise, staring at the bear.
“………”
After a long silence, the other party took action.
He simply raised his furry bear paw gently and reached out to touch her head.
Again and again, the movements can be described as gentle.
Then, Xiong silently took out a piece of paper and a pen from his arms and wrote a line of words on it:
【Why are you unhappy? 】
