Second period PE.
Our class was gathered on the tennis court.
“Well, then, I want each of you to form a pair.”
The teacher instructed, and the classmates paired up with their closest friends.
……This is a problem.
I don’t have any friends in my class. The teacher instructed the classmates to pair up with their good friends.
Haa…I think I’ll just sit on the bench and slack off today.
Thinking that, I was about to head towards the spectator seats when someone tapped me on the shoulder.
When I turned around, Nanase was standing there.
“Hey, Ichijo kun, you don’t have a partner, right? Come with me.”
As she said this, Nanase’s face was colder than when she was at home, truly a cold-hearted princess.
“……Oh, let’s do that.”
For a moment, I didn’t recognize Nanase because her attitude was so different from her attitude at home……but she’s more genuine at home, right?
The more you think so, the more distant her personality was from the one at home.
“Oh, hey, Ruthless Princess and Ichijo are paired up.”
“Seriously…the two cool types of the class teaming up.”
“I wanted to be paired with her, but I can’t complain if it’s Ichijho !”
I don’t know when we became the representatives of the cool type……
While I was listening to the conversation of my classmates, the gym teacher brought the ball to me.
“The pairs have been decided. Now, let’s begin the match ! Each of you choose your opponent.”
Opponents……
I could play tennis, but I didn’t want to play with someone too good.
That’s what I thought, but my thoughts were shattered by a pair of girls from the tennis club who came over here.
“Nanase san and Ichijo kun, would you like to play a match with us?”
The ones who approached me were Ando and Kikuchi from the women’s tennis club. Both of them are the regular of the current tennis team and are quite formidable.
I’d rather avoid playing these two. ….
When I looked at Nanase, she nodded slightly, as if she agreed.
“I’m sorry, we can’t handle the two of you.”
In fact, we are probably no match for the two of them playing tennis in the club.
“Are you afraid to play with us, by any chance?”
Kikuchi said provocatively.
Nanase’s face becomes a little scary.
Oh, this is a bad one……
“Kikuchi chan, don’t, if you say such a thing.”
“……Let’s do it.”
“Eh?”
“I’ll do it. Please get ready as soon as possible.”
“That’s good. That’s the way to do it.”
“Hey, Nanase, they’re then tennis—-“
I tried to persuade her, but Nanase was completely murderous and it felt like I would be killed if I tried to stop her.
Haa, why does this happen…
◇
“Okay, we’re ready, let’s get started!”
When Kikuchi loudly declared, Nanase’s hands tightened as she gripped the racket.
The tennis club was going to start suddenly, and all the classmates were paying attention to the match between a ruthless beautiful girl and a guy pair.
“Nanase, have you played tennis before?”
“I used to be in the tennis club for a little while. I think I can play a little.”
“I hope so.”
If she told me I was a beginner at this, I’d have to give a wry smile.
“What about you?”
“I can at least play tennis.”
“Well, that’s fine, but don’t drag me down.”
“Who are you talking to?”
Then Kikuchi threw a ball in the air and hit it, and the game began.
At first, the other team seemed to be watching the game and did not seem to be aggressive, so we played along with the other team and returned the ball to them.
It would be the most peaceful way to end the game……
But my wish was not fulfilled, and the fun time of tennis came to an end. Kikuchi, with a different look in her eyes, hit the ball vigorously.
The momentum of the ball is so fast that it would never meet an ordinary person.
However, the ball did not touch the ground and was blocked by Nanase.
“Heh, you’re good.”
“I hope you don’t underestimate me.”
Next, Nanase launched the ball with great force into the opponent’s camp. The other team managed to return the ball, but they were in agony.
A fast, sharp, supreme exchange of blows.
Ando san and I were following the two of them, but it was almost a two-person battle.
But the battle was brought to a close by Nanase’s too-fast smash.
“Haa !”
“Wha !”
Nanase looked very satisfied after she had successfully hit the opponent’s position.
“We won.”
“Haa, haa……we lost, you’re strong…..”
“But you were strong too. It was a good match.”
“Same here.”
The two shook hands thickly and smiled at each other.
“Good job, Nanase.”
I offered Nanase, who was resting on the bench, a bottle of water I had bought.
“Thanks.”
Nanase took the water from me and drank it with a refined smile.
Why is it that the sight of a beautiful girl reading the water is so striking?
When I sat down next to Nanase, she moved a little distance away from me.
“I’m sorry, did you not like it?”
“No, it’s not that…um…I was moving around earlier and I was sweating.”
“I see what you mean.”
“But it’s not that I don’t like being with you…..so can I go near you when I get home?”
“……You worked hard today, I wouldn’t mind that much.”
“Fufu, thanks.”
Nanase smiled happily.
