Mutual pining, a cunning, teasing Yukimura x a slow-witted, sweetly clueless girl
Yagyu Sayaka fell in love with her brother's club captain.
The good news: thanks to her brother, she had plenty of chances to see her senior, Yukimura!
The bad news: because of her brother, Senior Yukimura saw her entirely as a little sister...
Her brother was both the reason she succeeded and the reason she failed!
Senior Yukimura was known as the Child of God, while Sayaka was just an ordinary member of Rikkai Dai.
If there is a god, could you send the Child of God down to earth for me? Sayaka prayed at the shrine.
The gods really did hear her!
He fell seriously ill...
Sayaka returned to the shrine in tears, begging the gods not to bring him down to the mortal world.
Senior Yukimura wiped away her tears and comforted her. "I'll get better. I won't give up on tennis, and I won't give up on you, Sayaka."
