As soon as Byodoin and the others left, Marui and the others came running over, their eyes full of curiosity about the reason why Tanejima-senpai was like this.
Kirihara was even more noisy and surrounded Zizhou, and even Sanada could no longer control him. Others did not pull Kirihara back because they were also curious about the news that Zizhou had received.
"Zizhou-senpai, why did you go to Shima-senpai? You are one of our members!"
The angry Kirihara is now like a little pufferfish, with his cheeks bulging, and he still can't figure out the situation.
"Ahem, Akaya, let's talk about this next time. Right now we should plan what to do in the next game."
Kirihara, who thought he had grown up, could tell that Zizu was trying to change the subject. When he was about to say no, Marui stepped forward and covered his mouth in time. Kirihara, who was originally unprepared, was dragged away by Marui with his mouth covered.
Seeing that Kirihara, who liked to get to the bottom of things, had finally left, Zizu gave Yukimura a look to signal him to slip away first. After getting Yukimura's agreeing look, Zizu ran away without wasting a moment.
The people around were stunned. Tezuka touched the teardrop mole at the corner of his eye and rolled his eyes.
"It's not very glamorous, isn't it?" 「
"yes. 「
"I didn't expect that the most hidden person here is Sahara."
Although Oshitari often talks nonsense, he is actually a very cautious and careful person.
"Shiraishi, I've brought this senior with me, where should I take him?"
Yuanshan, who had been dragging the senior, has been carrying him on his back for a long time now, and he didn't even let go when he saw Byodoin and the others talking just now. Now that Shiraishi was finally free, he hurriedly asked Shiraishi to help take the senior to the infirmary.
In the evening, Zizhou drank milk tea in the cafeteria while waiting for the island planting.
Unlike in the afternoon, Zhongdao came over happily, and his brisk steps revealed his owner's happy mood.
"Xiao Zizhou, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. The weather is a bit cold, so be careful not to catch a cold."
"Actually it's okay. It's not that cold in the cafeteria." Although she said this, she still accepted Tanejima's concern.
Zhongdao had noticed that Zizhou was not wearing any extra clothes today, and in order to train better, he did not wear too many clothes like everyone else. But Zhongdao knows that Zizhou’s health is not as good as before, maybe it’s the sequelae of the car accident, so the saying “no one is perfect” refers to Zizhou.
Zhongdao sat down next to Zizhou, and as soon as he sat down he started talking about his expedition trip some time ago. Zizhou listened carefully to the interesting things Zhongdao shared. Zhongdao also complained to Zizhou about the unscrupulousness of Byodoin. Zizhou patted Zhongdao's shoulder in amusement.
Signaled Zhongdao to pay attention to his surroundings and not disturb everyone. Also, be careful if Byodoin senior hears it, Tanejima will be in trouble, so let’s just keep it to ourselves?????
"Zhongdao, are you feeling better? It really wasn't good to see you look like this today. If you're not feeling well, don't try to be strong. You know an athlete's health is the most important thing." Zizhou stared into Zhongdao's eyes. He knew Zhongdao, and it was possible that Zhongdao lied in order not to make him worry.
Zhongdao scratched his head awkwardly, not knowing how to explain that it was not because of injury or anything, but because of airsickness. But would it make him seem too weak if he said it out loud?
Zizhou noticed that Zhongdao was a little embarrassed, so in order to prevent him from feeling embarrassed anymore, he changed the subject.
"Taneshima-senpai, it's been a while since I last saw Jiao Mi Guo. He missed you a lot during that time and often stared at your photo in a daze."
The burnt rice cake on Zizhou's shoulder was already making a squeaking sound to greet Zhongdao.
But Jiao Miguo didn't think so in his heart. The reason why Jiao Miguo often stared at the photos of Zizhou and Zhongdao was because Zhongdao stole the attention of his host. So he often prayed to the main system to bring bad luck to Zhongdao, although the main system rejected it on the grounds that it was unreasonable. But Jiao Miguo still hoped for success, but he also liked the idea of the island bringing him snacks and hoped that he would come back soon.
As a result, Jiao Miguo became a little "schizophrenic" during that period, which made Zizhou think that there was a bug in the system.
Seeing that Jiaomiguo was still so lively, Zhongdao happily touched Jiaomiguo's head and took out the snacks from his shirt pocket and gave them to Jiaomiguo. Considering that Jiaomiguo was too small, Zhongdao took out the snacks one by one before giving them to Jiaomiguo.
Zizhou looked at Zhongdao who was skillfully feeding the scorched rice cakes and shook his head helplessly. Zhongdao really liked the scorched rice cakes.
But Zizhou didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. Now everyone is a mature person and can feel what is happening.
"Are you going to participate in the competition tomorrow, Tanejima-senpai?"
"Yes, actually, everyone in the first team will participate in the competition tomorrow. It will be a tough battle tomorrow. Be prepared. Xiao Zizhou, who do you want to challenge? Do you want to have a showdown with your senior? I am different now. I have made progress in my mental strength and my skills have made a qualitative leap. If I play doubles with Xiao Zizhou, I will definitely be invincible!"
Zizhou thought Zhongdao's self-praising manner was extremely adorable.
But he still clearly heard that Tanedo wanted to play doubles with him. Although it was secretive, he still heard it.
Moreover, he had no plans to challenge anyone tomorrow. For him, his mental strength was now so strong that it could be said that he was unrivaled in the world.
After telling Zhongdao about his idea, Zhongdao was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Zizhou would have no one he wanted to challenge. He always thought that even if Zizhou lacked enthusiasm in tennis, his tennis could also feel his gentleness. In addition, on this platform where there is only one champion, the only way to move forward is to have firm belief.
"Don't you want to participate in the World Cup, Xiao Zizhou?" 「
Zhongdao's words seemed to trigger a button, and the voice of the main system that had been unable to be queried before appeared in Zizhou's mind. However, this time the voice appeared because the mission of this World Cup match finally appeared.
"Ding, side quest - U17 World Cup champion." "
Zizhou was caught off guard and choked while drinking milk tea in the shop.
“Ahem!”
After a flurry of activity, Zizhou finally felt better.
Zhongdao took out a gift box and gave it to Zizhou.
"It's a souvenir~"
Zizhou held the gift box in both hands and thanked Zhongdao happily. Of course he was very happy that such a good senior brought him a gift.
"Thank you! Tanejima-senpai!"
