Tanishima had such a cute girlfriend, but she was always getting distracted by all the pretty people outside and itching to dump him.
Hah. As if he'd let her get away with that.
Tanishima, who had always been a master of handling relationships, started his first-ever "keep an eye on her" campaign.
[Target One: A certain No. 1 boss]
Looking at that sharply defined face on the court, Tanishima remembered his darling girlfriend casually remarking a couple of days ago, "Actually, your captain is pretty handsome."
He recalled the captain's unshaven, unkempt appearance from before, and a sly smile curled his lips.
"Sorry, bo~ss~. For the sake of your club members' 'physical and mental health,' you'd better keep that beard glued to your face."
Byodoin: ...
[Target Two: A certain sickly pretty boy]
Tanishima noticed that lately his darling girlfriend kept going to the hospital. When she came back, she'd sigh, "My little brother's captain is so gentle. Heaven has been so cruel to him."
Remembering the cold, serious look on the pretty boy's face as he supervised the team training when Tanishima had passed by before, he pulled out the latest training schedule he'd copied from the coach.
"Sorry, little brother's captain. For the sake of this senpai's happy relationship, you can keep the title of 'Ice-Cold Captain.'"
Yukimura: ...
The Rikkai Dai players, battered from training: ...
[Target Three: A certain little pillar]
Tanishima watched his darling girlfriend repeatedly scroll through photos and videos of a certain first-year player. She was also chatting away in his fan group: "He's the legendary Prince of Tennis, all right! So handsome and cute, and great at tennis, too. I hear he's going to be the next pillar."
Tanishima couldn't understand what was cute about this cocky little kid, but he remembered that Tokugawa was paying attention to him, too. So he found Tokugawa and had a deep conversation about the growth that came from training on the mountain.
"Sorry, little pillar. For the sake of us bystanders' enjoyment, you'd better make the most of this mountain training package."
Echizen: ...
Aoba: ...
Yungu Aoba fell for her classmate.
He had an arrogant shock of white hair, played tennis with carefree abandon, and had a wickedly flirtatious smile. He looked like trouble.
Her friend was adamant: "Tanishima? He's a classic playboy!"
Yungu Aoba actually agreed with her friend.
But looking at that face that perfectly matched her tastes, she decided to give him a try. At worst, she'd dump him before he could play her.
But no matter how long she waited, Yungu Aoba couldn't find any sign that Tanishima was playing her. If anything, he was getting more and more clingy.
"Tsk. What a shame."
"What a shame about what?" Tanishima suddenly appeared.
"What a shame... I didn't get that pretty girl's contact info just now. She was really beautiful..."
Tanishima: "..." So now he had to watch out for girls as well as guys, huh?
