They Say Stubborn Pursuit Can Win You a True Love

I genuinely want to write this one right now. Before the passion fades, I'm jumping the queue at 100 advance reservations!! 3.6

While discussing their ideal types with her friends, Yuejian Huari says, "Sanada," and kills the conversation on the spot.

- Her ideal type is a super old-fashioned guy who can turn love songs into military enlistment songs, corrects the grammar in a confession letter before rejecting it, and roars, "You're a student! How can you date so young? This is completely unacceptable!"

- Her ideal type is a disciplinarian who bites couples clustering together to death, insists everyone obey the school rules around him, and brings down iron-fisted punishment on anyone who doesn't!

- Huari, what on earth is wrong with you that you like Sanada-senpai?!

Yuejian Huari blinked, then calmly lifted her head. "But he's so disciplined, and he has a great body. More importantly, he seems like the type you could win over if you just keep pestering him."

"If he's your ideal type, wouldn't it be even better if you could win him over, date him, and sleep with him?"

Yuejian Huari was making a perfectly reasonable argument when a voice behind her suddenly roared with barely contained fury.

Sanada: "Win me over, date me, sleep with me? You're so young, and your head is already full of wicked thoughts. This is completely unacceptable!!!"

Yuejian Huari: "..."

Question: What do you do when you run your mouth right in front of the person you're talking about? Asking online, and it's pretty urgent!

Sanada, having been called the sort of guy you could win over by pestering him, was seething. He swore he would show that girl, barely 160 centimeters tall, tiny and with a fair, tender face, just how cold and hard to win over he really was.

He ran into her at the school gate and ignored her!

He ran into her in the office and ignored her!

He ran into her on the sports field and kept ignoring her!

Then one day, his nephew, who usually refused to listen to anyone, suddenly sweetly called him "Big Brother" and asked him to bring back a cup of coffee.

Though Sanada didn't approve of children drinking so much coffee, after evening practice he still followed the address his nephew sent and found a uniquely decorated cafe.

He pushed open the door. A cat-eared girl in a maid outfit appeared before him, smiling sweetly. "Welcome home, Master..."

Sanada: ...

She's really trying so hard to win me over...

Content notes:

1. A sweet Sanada romance. The girl only talks big and doesn't actually do a thing, while Sanada completely wins himself over after a few chance encounters.

2. Mainly Prince of Tennis, with a focus on Rikkai. This time there really is very little tournament plot. It's a short, pure romance.

3. Might cross over with Kaguya-sama: Love Is War, though I think that series fell apart. We'll see.
