New Prince of Tennis: Love is Our Zest

Ep 10

>>>>>>>Alivia's POV>>>>>>>

Entering the bistro, I see most of the members eating during this hour. Looking out the window walls, rain is pouring down like there's no tomorrow.

"Tusge-senpai!"

All at once, the first-years Horio, Dan, and Urayama rush up to me.

"Good afternoon, Tsuge-senpai."

"Hey, there. Did you need something?"

"We're hoping to sign up for the new activity."

"Are there any available spots, desu?"

"There is on (date/time). I should be able to fill you in."

"Thank you, de yansu."

"Tsuge-neechan~!"

GLOMP!

Out of nowhere, Shitenhoji's first-year tackles me from behind.

"H-Hey, watch it, Kintaro-kun. You almost knocked me over."

"Sorry," he sheepishly smiles, "ne, ne~ can you make takoyaki for dinner again? Please~?"

"Ah, that's not fair, Toyama-chan!"

Jirou-kun gets into the chat while hugging my neck.

"If Toyama-chan wants more takoyaki, then I want more parfait."

"Sorry, but I can't give in to every little thing you guys ask me. This is still my job, temporary or not."

"(Both)Ehh~?!"

"Stop whining...and please get off me."

"Alivia-san/Nee-chan~!"

FWIP!

"H-Hey/Wuahh!"

That's when Hyotei's biggest second-year lifts them up like they weigh nothing.

"Uh...thank you, Kabaji-kun."

"Usu."

I deadpan at the aristocratic boy sipping his tea away.

'That pompous bat...he could've dealt with this himself.'

"As for you two, just wait until then. There's plenty of other sweets and drinks being served."

"(Both)Okay~."

"Hey, Daiki, can you call the triplets to come meet me?"

"Sure thing."

It only took a few seconds for my cousins to arrive.

"Hey, you three. Ready for another review?"

"What/Eh~/A-Already?"

"I warned you this would happen at any time. Now then, Hiroshi..."

"Y-Yes!"

"Using the ingredients I left on the bar counter, make a seasonal drink that would best suit me."

"I'll do my best."

"Hiroki, I didn't eat lunch yet, so please make something that isn't too fatty, but not too light."

"Okay."

"As for you, Hideki, make a dessert with fewer ingredients and that isn't on the menu."

"You got it, cuz!"
