Chapter 1515 Some School Life
Although Sanlang is a bit egocentric and doesn't play by the rules, he's a pretty good brother. I asked him to help me carry my schoolbag, and he obediently carried it with one hand while continuing to drink from the bottle of marble soda with the other.
"Who did you see yesterday?"
He doesn't like to call Tatsuya Hongo by his name. Basically, if he hears "that guy", "that guy" or "that thing", he is talking about my cheap dad.
"Um."
"Oh, are you okay?"
"fine."
"I don't believe it."
I glared at him, and he immediately clasped his hands together and said, "I won't tell Mom. I promise!"
"It's nothing, really. I'm tired of hearing what he said." I squeezed the balloon. "He was just really angry. He said bad things about Auntie."
"And then? You beat him up?"
"No, I left him there to die. I don't know what the people who caught him will do, but it's none of my business anyway."
"Wow, good job, Homura is so cool."
"Don't think I won't complain to Auntie just because of this."
“Eh—”
Watching Saburo walking beside me with his cheeks puffed out, I suddenly remembered what happened at school that morning. "By the way, are you participating in any club activities?"
"Yes, football."
...It suits him very well. I remember when I was a kid, when I went back to my aunt's house, I would often see him rushing out with a Band-Aid on his face and a football in his arms.
"Why do you ask that?"
"actually--"
I relayed my conversation with Kirihara that morning to Saburo, "So, joining the club is fun, right?"
"Hmm... I think it depends on your interests. For example, if Homura doesn't like playing soccer, there's no point in joining the soccer club. So, are you interested in tennis?"
"I don't know." I really don't know. If you are interested, farming in Honmaru is also interesting, and practicing kendo is also interesting. I also want to show Toushirou my practice process and see if there are any shortcomings that can be improved.
"Then go ahead and give it a try." He tossed his empty bottle of soda around and started playing with it. "Being a manager isn't going to be that busy."
"Or is it that Homura is afraid of contact with people?"
"……What?"
Saburo caught the glass bottle with a snap, and the marble made a crisp sound when it hit the bottle. "Haven't you always been trying to stay away? So have your classmates, my mom, and I. What are you afraid of?"
"I..." What are you talking about? I'm scared? Why am I scared?
"Anyway, it's this mysterious feeling! But now that Homura wants to join the club activities, it's a good thing. Oh, and by the way, I have to tell Mom, she'll be very happy too!"
After saying that, he dropped the glass bottle and started taking out his cell phone to try to make a call.
"Ah! Don't call now and don't throw the bottle around, you stupid brother!"
Hmm... let's see if Kirihara comes to see me tomorrow. If that doesn't work, I'll go ask the gardening department.
The next morning, I went to work early because I had to be on duty. However, the first person I saw when I entered the classroom was not the usual chattering classmate sitting behind me, but Jinghua who had returned to the classroom.
"morning."
"Ah, good morning."
By the way, today she and I were on duty together.
"Um, nothing happened yesterday, right?"
"No." Kyoka-san was quietly cleaning the blackboard, holding the eraser. "Don't worry, Hongo Tatsuya's problem has been resolved."
Well, that's not what I wanted to ask. "I thought you wouldn't be coming back to school." The girl stopped wiping the blackboard. I quickly added, "No, I don't mean anything else. I'm just... glad to see you again."
Izumi didn't answer, and from the side her expression didn't change. After about five seconds, she lowered the hand holding the blackboard eraser.
"Atsushi-kun said he hasn't experienced school life."
Huh? Dun... Oh, right, he said he was an orphan.
"So he was very happy to see me back in school, as were Mr. Kunikida and the others."
I don't know why, but I felt a little sad. "So, when I'm in school, I, ahem..." I cleared my throat, took a deep breath, and turned to tidy up the chalk and stationery on the podium. "Can I still stay with you?"
"……Um."
So, does this mean you agree?
The two of us had almost finished our class duty, and other students also came to the classroom one after another.
"Huh? Oh, it's Jiu Jing classmate, good morning~"
But the strange thing is that several girls in the class who usually kept their distance from me, for some reason, greeted me kindly as soon as they came today, and soon surrounded me.
What have I done recently to make them happy?
"Hey, classmate Jiu Jing, who was that boy who came to see you at the school gate yesterday?"
"ah?"
"It's the red-haired boy with the balloons, the one with a very J-O-S vibe!"
The guy wearing a balloon and standing at the school gate looking for me, wasn't that Saburo? But what exactly is "J-O-S temperament"?
"Oh, he's my cousin."
"Eh! But you two look about the same age."
After all, he is only half a year older than me, but he doesn't usually act like an older brother.
"Na Jiujing, does your brother have a girlfriend?"
“Huh?” How would I know… Shit! No, some terrible memories came to mind!! “Uh…! I don’t know either.” I forgot, I almost forgot someone’s DT graduation speech. Too bad! “But he skipped class yesterday and went to the amusement park with the girls. It wouldn’t be surprising if he had a girlfriend.”
"Eh—" The girls surrounding me looked unconvinced. "Aren't you his sister? You don't even know this?"
What's that saying? Sanlang and I don't live together. Even if we take a step back, why should I care whether he has a girlfriend or not?
“Ah! Found it! Jiu Jing!”
Just then, a loud voice rang out in the class. I looked up and saw a certain kelp-head rushing in from the doorway through the gap between the people.
"The seniors have all agreed. Come with me to the tennis club today. Humph! Marui-senpai still doesn't believe that I really found someone. I'll take you there today to scare them!"
"Huh? Jiu...Jiu Jing-san?"
"To the tennis club?"
"What happened?"
The girls looked at each other and took a step back. The enthusiasm they had just felt disappeared.
"Huh? The sun's rising from the west. Why are there so many people here today?" They seemed to be a little concerned about Kirihara. By the time he came to my seat, those girls had already cleared the aisle. "Never mind. I have good news for you—!"
"Your senior agreed, right?"
“Yes, yes.”
"What about Sanada-senpai? Did he agree too?"
"Uh...!" He paused, his eyes drifting. "As for the deputy minister, he was in a meeting yesterday afternoon. I didn't lie to you. The seniors are all third years anyway, so they'll definitely know by today."
Really? Oh, but speaking of that—
"By the way, can I bring a friend to your tennis club?"
"Huh? Who is it?"
"Kagami…Izumi-san."
Kirihara placed his bag on his desk. "Oh yeah, come to think of it, you two are usually inseparable. That's fine. Izumi-san doesn't look like he'll interfere with practice anyway."
As for Jinghua's answer—
"May I?"
"Well, I don't mind, and Kirihara-kun doesn't mind either, so it should be fine." I shrugged, looking at the kelp-haired boy who was already sitting in his seat chatting with other boys. "If it's really that strict, then I don't think I'll pass. Or do you not want to go?"
She looked at me in silence for a few seconds, then lowered her eyes. "No."
Although Kirihara explained the whole story to us during the day and repeatedly assured his seniors that he was telling the truth, when Jinghua and I showed up at the tennis club during the club activities, it still caused quite a stir.
"Huh—?!! Akaya actually brought a girl to the club!"
"So I told you there really is a suitable candidate, why don't you believe me?"
"No, because you usually look like you have no luck with girls."
"ha?!"
Wow, I knew Rikkai University had a lot of international students, but I didn't expect there was one in the tennis club. And the other senior who was arguing with Kirihara also had red hair. They looked like they were on good terms. He must be the "Marui-senpai" he often mentioned.
"Jiu Jingyan, Class D, Year 2, 160cm tall, transferred to Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School last November and hasn't joined any clubs yet. He once used a book to deflect a tennis ball thrown by Akaya during his red-eye state, so his athletic ability is probably pretty good, but his attendance rate is still low."
Uh, ah, this is all correct. How come they even know my height and when I transferred schools?!
"Eh?! Is this really her?"
"Ah, Senior Liu still remembers that incident."
It turns out that he is the senior Liu who always stuffs the Guangcilin into his schoolbag and has excellent Chinese grades.
"Oh my, it seems that Akaya gets along well with the girls in his class."
"That's not the case, Niou-senpai. Jiu Jing and I... how should I put it... it's a bit complicated to explain, but we didn't become close because of tennis anyway."
"Why is that?"
"Uh, anyway...anyway, it's because of something else!"
"If Kirihara-kun doesn't want to talk about it, then forget it, but what's going on with this girl?"
"Woohoo! I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't told me."
The one with pigtails and a mole on the corner of his mouth should be Niou-senpai who always pretends to be other club members to tease Kirihara, and the one wearing glasses should be Yagyu-senpai who plays doubles with him and also switches disguises.
"Izumi Kyoka, 2nd year, Class D, 148cm tall, transferred to Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School in May of this year, and also hasn't joined any clubs."
...It's okay for me, but he even knows Jinghua's information. Should we say that this Senior Liu is powerful or terrifying?
"I came here with Yan, please don't mind me."
As soon as I finished speaking, the whole tennis club fell silent, but Jinghua continued to stand quietly beside me.
"What happened?"
"Ah! You've come just in time, Sanada."
At this point, the other most important person in the incident finally appeared.
Well, Kirihara-kun, I will pray for you.

Actually, if I watch Prince of Tennis again now, the beginning, I mean the beginning, is still quite interesting.
Later on, U17... Anyway, it's fun! Very fun! Just be a fun person!
