After my parents' jobs were transferred, I followed them to transfer schools and came to Tokyo.
The good news is: the story of my youth is about to begin.
Bad news: On the first day of school, I was rushed to the infirmary because I was hit by a ball.
"I almost thought I was going to be bullied."
"On the first day of school, a small yellow-green ball hit my clever head. At that time, I thought I was so lucky to unlock the classic plot of Japanese comics."
"Then what?"
"Happy to have a day off."
"That's great. Is there any compensation plan?"
"... Does it count to invite me to be the manager of the tennis department and exempt me from club activities?"
"You have no ambition."
I rolled up the paper in my hand deeply and put it in my mouth.
You have no idea how scary Japanese club activities are for a nerd like me.
"Do you have anything else to share? My dear campus drama heroine?"
"Yes, yes."
"Can you send me a copy of "A Complete Collection of Commonly Used Internet Memes"?"
"What do you want that for?"
"Make up lessons."

Ever since Airi Hara became the manager of the tennis department, everyone in Qingxue has always heard some strange things.
"... If Tezuka and Fuji start running from opposite ends of the tennis court at the same time, how long will it take for them to meet?"
"Why can't they run together?"
"Because there's a sense of unnecessary beauty."
"It takes ten minutes to fill a basket with tennis balls and three minutes to empty it. If Echizen picks up the ball and throws it, how long will it take to fill the basket?"
"... Why did Kikumaru-senpai throw the ball while I was picking it up??"
"Wouldn't that mean you'd never be able to pretend to be full? Meow?!"
"... No one understands my strangeness. You all think of me as a fool. But it doesn't matter. If the world kisses me painfully, I will die of pain."
"Which of you messed with her again?"
Airi Hara: It's really tiring to get along with a group of people who don't understand (sigh)
Intention: Only by continuous grinding can we become better
