I, Toyotomi Arashi, am a first-year high school student at Rikkai University.
When I was in junior high school, I and my teammates set a brilliant record of sixteen consecutive championships in Kanto and three consecutive national championships. I thought that high school life would be simple: play tennis, win the championship, and dominate the country again with my teammates.
But I never expected that what came before the praise was a new round of outrageous rumors:
"Have you heard? Shiraishi from Shitenhoji Temple went to ask Toyotomi-kun for his LINE after the game!"
"Hyotei's Atobe-senpai also publicly said that Toyotomi-senpai is his 'most admired opponent'!"
"Also, Seigaku's Tezuka and Fuji were just for Toyotomi..."
More despair is yet to come:
"Toyotomi-kun had dinner alone with someone from school A last week!"
"What?! What about the guy from school B?"
"You don't know, right? The guy from School C is the main palace..."
"Tsk, it's the King of the Sea."
Who? Neptune? Me? !
I looked at the training invitations and friendly match invitations from players from various schools on my phone, as well as the greetings from the overflowing mailbox, and fell into deep thought.
So my high school life was just about jumping back and forth between playing tennis and refuting rumors, right?
What made me even more devastated was that after my parents heard about this, they happily held a birthday party for me.
On the day of the banquet, my parents and I were silent for a long time as we looked at the endless stream of guests and the gifts piled up in the entire living room.
"Lan-chan," my mother said carefully, "Mom, remember you were just playing tennis..."
I don't know either!
I swear, I'm really just playing tennis.
My dad had a complicated expression, with shock mixed with a hint of relief: "We, Lan-chan, are just a hundred million points more popular!"
Me: "..."
