[Prince of Tennis] The Prophecy Paradox

"If you had the chance to learn the date or cause of your death, which would you choose?"

"If the ending can't be changed, I'd choose the date. I wouldn't want to spend the rest of my life constantly on edge."

|Date of death: Next spring|

|An unchangeable ending.|

So, should she give in to an ending that has already been written?

Is there really no chance of winning against the rules?

At least, Kamataka thinks things should change.

She'll go against the world.

Kamataka has a simple mind. When she couldn't figure out the cause of her death, she naturally found herself in front of the school mystery novels.

But why has her second-year classmate, Yagyu, changed so much?

It's bad enough that he keeps acting out of character, but why has the chance of him showing up in front of her increased so much?

It wasn't until Kamataka watched the doubles match between Niou and Yagyu that she realized anything could happen.

Kamataka: Niou, you've been found out.

Niou: Puri, I made it so obvious. You only just noticed today?

After Niou was found out, their previously roundabout, tentative relationship became much more direct and unvarnished.

"You're doing this for a reason, aren't you?"

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you. I want to live."

Niou: Somehow I became her teammate, piyo.

Kamataka knew from the start that the ending couldn't be changed.

But she never thought it would be her own choice.

Even knowing it would cost her life, she still chose it.
