Won't go down without a fight (1)
As we walked out of the court for a short break after Fuyu broke my service game, the girl didn't revel in her victory or comfort me for my loss. Instead, Fuyu grabbed my hand and brought me with her to sit on the bench where she continued advising me on how I could improve.
With a fiery glint in her eyes that was not burning for competition anymore, she put forth her enthusiasm to coach me. It's like it became her mission to have me improve in this little match of ours.
As for Akane, my silly wife remained silent and just stood behind me to massage my shoulders.
Mhm. Such a pleasant break time.
"I'll keep all of that in mind, Fuyu. Thank you."
"Don't mention it... I've seen your potential and I think... if you really put your time into tennis, you'll reach my level quickly."
“That’s a high evaluation."
"It's true! I've never seen someone like you from the boys in our club! Even that guy they called prodigy won't be able to match your speed and strength."
