[Prince of Tennis] Still Tormenting the Tennis Club Today

A seemingly angelic girl with goddess-like strength x a cold-faced, yet gentle and kind, ice-cold beauty.

I totally underestimated her!!!

How can a girl be so good at tennis?

How can someone look so delicate and harmless, yet hit the ball with such force?

They're both working hard to reach a wider world.

(I've read a lot of stories where the girl is the weaker one, so I wanted to write a strong x strong pairing.)

(Also, I didn't do a good job with my last story. I'll do my best not to leave any major plot holes this time. Please forgive me if there are any minor ones, sob.)

"You're unexpectedly honest." Tsurukawa was briefly delighted by her honesty. A surprising sense of satisfaction rose deep within her, and before she knew it, she was in a good mood. Pressing her advantage, she asked, "Do you like me?"

Tezuka stopped walking. A flicker of hesitation crossed her light brown eyes, as if she were trying to figure out whether Tsurukawa was serious or joking.

Tsurukawa wasn't in a hurry. She slowly turned back to face her and watched.

A faint blush, rare on that lovely face, appeared. At last, as if she had made up her mind, she answered in her signature cool voice, "I do."

What would happen next? Would she be rejected and sent back behind that wall, like all the others, to become an ordinary schoolmate of Tsurukawa's, never allowed to get any closer?

Tezuka lowered her eyes and clenched the hand at her side, as if waiting for a verdict.

Bang, bang. One firework after another scorched holes in the pitch-black night, dazzling and brilliant. What would her answer be?

Tsurukawa-senpai is pretty cute.
