So Tennis Isn't Scientific After All

A-01 Honmaru's Saniwa, Dong Qingyou, has always thought of himself as an ordinary person. Though he already had a job before he started school (meaning he was a Saniwa), and though his family was made up of rather unusual members (meaning Tsukumogami), and though... he really is an ordinary person! After all, spiritual power, the world's favor, and supernatural abilities can all be explained with the Time Government's scientific theories. But he doesn't have the amazing ability his childhood friend has, casually wiping out someone's five senses just by swinging a racket. Yukimura: ^_^? Sanada: ... No, compared to moves like theirs that can be explained by mental power, your ability to produce light without relying on any external force is even less scientific, isn't it?!! Dong Qingyou: 0v0 Forget it. The pot calling the kettle black. JPG. * On Akaya's first day at Rikkai University, he successfully got lost on his way to the tennis club. But heaven had not forsaken Lord Akaya. Halfway through his wandering, he met a very kind upperclassman. The upperclassman was so nice that he not only pointed him toward the tennis club, but also offered to take him there to challenge the team after hearing why he'd come. However, the upperclassman said that before Akaya could challenge them, he had to prove he was good enough. When it comes to matches, Lord Akaya has never been afraid of anyone! So, just over ten minutes later, he very smoothly... lost by a score of zero. Akaya had never lost so badly before. He'd always been unbeatable among his peers, and tears were already welling in his eyes. But before he could even cry, the upperclassman grabbed him by the collar and dragged him like a kitten right in front of the tennis club captain. Dong Qingyou: "Seiichi, Seiichi, look what I found!" Yukimura helplessly pinched the bridge of his nose. "Dongdong, he's a person, not a thing... No, he's a thing... Anyway, let him go." Akaya, who's a thing but not a thing: ??? What?! That kind upperclassman is actually on the tennis team? So I was set up by the establishment!!! Notes: This novel is also known as: How Did My Two Childhood Friends Start Dating Behind My Back? If You Get Married, You'd Better Invite Us to Be Your Groomsmen. Pairing with Yukimura. A cozy, everyday story about raising a kid, and childhood sweethearts getting together as naturally as can be. Rikkai's 16+3, no changing my mind. Kicking every single death flag out of the way. The character isn't the sunny type. He's not actually bright and cheerful, and his nature is even a little dark. Yukimura is at his peak strength and won't lose. Dongdong is second only to him, an absolute genius. I wanted to write something light and fun, so I dug up an old story from a few years ago and started it up again. I'll add more if I think of anything. A preview of an upcoming story: Kakumi Ri is an ordinary person whose life philosophy is to eat, drink, have fun, and take things as they come. He's full of flaws in both literary and martial arts, and his catchphrases are "I want to die" and "I don't want to live anymore." He thought his life would be calm and uneventful, and that he'd simply live out his days like that. But after a certain black-haired guy with an M-shaped fringe smacked him in the left cheek with a volleyball, then another black-haired guy with an M-shaped fringe smacked him in the right cheek with a soccer ball, and finally he humiliatingly tripped over his own feet while holding a racket and bowed a full 180 degrees to his older brother, two things became his most hated things in life. First, playing ball. Second, watching other people play ball. But his older brother loves tennis, his online friend is all fired up about volleyball... even the gaming buddy he'd just met is studying hard to get into a school renowned for its tennis results, giving up the only game that had brought them closer! Kakumi Ri: I really do hate balls the most! Before he could even finish fuming, a mechanical voice suddenly rang out in his head. The System, ten years late, made its grand entrance and immediately maxed out his stats, adding fuel to the fire of his still-ongoing chuunibyou phase and trying to pave his path to godhood. Kakumi Ri opened his character screen. Looking at the cheat that had finally shown up, he gave a sinister smile. Tennis, volleyball, soccer, huh? They say a gentleman's revenge is never too late, even after ten years. Now your gentleman has arrived! * Two exceptionally talented first-years enrolled at Rikkai this year. They were so strong that they could easily become starters at any school, making everyone else green with envy. Later, when those words reached Rikkai, a group of boys let out weary sighs and gave bitter smiles. Everyone could see their impressive surface, but no one could see the wear and tear of time in their increasingly aged faces. Those two! They're absolute demons! One is clueless and the other is delighted. One comes up with the moves and the other carries them out. One takes the blame and the other gets punished. According to Yanagi Renji's incomplete records, in just one month since enrolling, they had provoked second- and third-year students thirty-eight times, written Sanada fifteen challenge letters, and been put under control after causing a ruckus eight times... Yukimura, whose workload had suddenly skyrocketed: ... Do we really need this year's first-years? * Kakumi Ri: Only dogs like chasing balls. Kakumi Ri: Woof. Theme: Even winter has its warm, sunny days.
