After the shock subsided from Akane's face, her lips curved up helplessly as she understood what I ant when I apologized to her. Nevertheless, that's not enough to scare her into
facing my serves.
In preparation for my monstrous service, she took two steps back, waiting further behind the baseline.
Although I still only have a shallow knowledge of the sport, I could understand the logic behind that.
In the assumption that all my serves will go in her service box, her field of vision will widen, allowing her to see where the fast-as-a-bullet serve will land. As long as she sees that, it won't be like the first one wherein her eyes failed to catch where it bounced off.
"Bring it on, husband! Keep 'em coming!"
That's my girl.
And with that, I steeled my decision to never hold back with my serves. I wanted to win but so was Akane.
For Akane, staying at ho to wait for was already enough. She didn't want to divert attention to other things.
On the other hand, I just want her to occupy herself with sothing else even if she's waiting for to co ho. That's why I also encouraged my girls to pursue their dreams.
Yue was ready to step down from her career just to be with .
Otoha didn't care about anything as long as she could also be with .
Hana who returned to this country just for the chance to reconnect with .
They all have bright futures ahead and I'm already satisfied to be the one who will spend that future alongside them. I really don't want them to be like who have nothing to think about but how to serve all of them.
Granted, my situation is different because I can just divide my ti to be with all of them. But that's really the reason why I am advocating for Akane to not lock herself up with ...
"Here I go, wife. I'll comfort you again if you lose to !" I replied as I tossed the ball up high.
"In your dreams. Hehe."
At the sa ti as I felt the ball make contact in the middle of my racket, Akane's sweet giggling abruptly stopped as she already focused her eyes on following the ball.
Woosh!
The ball crisply landed on her service box, but thanks to her positioning, she reached it on its bounce. She frowned because of the force behind it but she held on and returned it to my court.
Luckily for , it was a lob shot and her control towards it was minimal.
Seeing it floating downwards slowly, the avenues on how to score against her opened up in front of my eyes.
The most ideal one was to smash it down before she could run up and defend against it. But would she have the endurance to withstand that?
As I waited down on the ground, I began the motion.
And sure enough, Akane hurriedly ran up as soon as she stabilized herself.
Unfortunately for her, if I have sothing I hold an advantage against her and Fuyu, it will be my stamina, speed, and strength.
PAA!
The ball smashed down the opposite side of her service box and near the net, causing the ball to bounce outside. She was still halfway up the court when that happened, denying her any chance to retaliate.
"30-0. Ruki-kun leads."
Fuyu's voice fell down like cold water waking up Akane.
She gritted her teeth and picked up the ball that rolled away.
When she returned it to , the fire within her eyes burned ever brightly.
"Kiss , husband." She said,
What a demand.
But who am I to refuse that?
And so, under Fuyu's watch, I reached in to kiss my girl as she handed the ball back to . It was short but intimate, conveying her will not to back down against . Likewise, I expressed to her my intention to take this ga away from her.
At this point, there's really no turning back. Whatever the outco may be, we will accept it.
The ga resud but I heard Fuyu's voice shaking a little. Seeing us kiss like that shook her? I winked at her, conveying my intention to do the sa with her if it ca to our match.
Well, I had no idea if she understood my gesture, she just blushed and then faked a cough before shouting to continue the ga.
Maybe I got too confident after getting two points against Akane, but my third serve ended with a double fault.
As for the fourth serve, Akane got back at by luckily returning a smash. She sliced it in the middle, causing the ball to quickly bounce off and land behind .
That's an impressive move that even Fuyu clapped her hand from the umpire's seat.
Really, I shouldn't celebrate too early. My girl really stepped up her ga.
With our scores tied 30-30, I shook my head and cleared my thoughts.
The only way I could win against Akane was to leverage my advantages.
The faults were expected but that slice was a lucky shot from her.
For my fifth serve, I made it look like I was going at it in full force again, catching Akane off- guard.
As got used to the speed of my serves, the ball she was expecting bounced twice just right
before leaving her baseline.
I got another Service Ace.
"40-30. Ruki-kun ga point."
I heard Fuyu sucked in a deep breath, she probably never expected a newbie like to reach this point when I clearly showed inexperience with my movents.
As I intended to take this ga on my next serve and prevent Akane from deucing, I started employing mind gas with her.
Staring at her from my side of the court, I put on a mischievous smile that my silly wife would surely pick up.
Of course, distracting her was against the rule. But we were not in an official match. And Fuyu could only see looking at my opponent.
And with that, with her mind shaken a little, Akane who still managed to return the ball back to lost it when I managed to put in the pressure with her by erratically moving around the
court.
I relied on my speed on that. In a normal match, that wasn't endorsed since it could easily cause an injury on the ligant but well, I hadn't even sweated that much yet, much less used
my stamina.
Rumi's miraculous tea turned into an inexhaustible bull while Akane not only tired herself out playing against Fuyu but there's also the lingering effect of our early morning exercise in
bed.
"Ga. Ruki-kun!"
Fuyu confidently waved her hand as she called out the ruling.
Akane spent a few seconds standing in the court before returning to join us at the side.
And when she did, my silly wife jumped on my lap, causing Fuyu who was sitting next to
and holding the water bottle to be startled.
"Hmph. I demand another kiss, husband."
"Will that boost your confidence?"
"Not only that. It's also my energizer. Husband, I have long discovered the existence of Ruki
Energy that Hiyori pioneered!"
What an adorable ss... I couldn't help but chuckle from hearing that. In any case, I didn't deny her of it. With my arms wrapping around her waist, I kissed Akane again.
Once that was done, I turned to the flabbergasted Fuyu and said, "I think I will also get a refill
of my Fuyu Energy. Will that be fine?"
"... You. What Fuyu Energy?"
With Akane left satisfied and now resting on my chest, Fuyu fumbled a bit but ultimately
closed her eyes.
Naturally, I made that up but upon hearing our conversation, she probably related it to that.
I extended my arm to Fuyu's slim waist and pulled her closer to , "Thank you."
At the mont I finished whispering those words of gratitude, I kissed Fuyu the sa way I
kissed Akane. Long and intimate...
What better way to prepare ourselves for the third ga, right?
