New Prince of Tennis: Love is Our Zest

Ep 11

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

"...Yawn~..."

"Tired?"

"Wouldn't you be if you were escaping a bunch of nutzos on the hunt for their dream cuisine like the mutinies from Treasure Island?"

"Hahaha! You sure had a rough night. Don't worry, I'll give you the day off today."

"Hah~..."

I slump my shoulders while leaning on the railing. Junpei, Daiki, and I are finally at the airport, waiting near the entrance/exit.

"That sandwich wasn't enough. I'm still hungry."

"We'll stop by at a grocery store."

"I don't think they're the kind to be patient."

"From what I heard some are well-mannered enough to be considerate."

"I hope so."

POCK-POCK-POCK-POCK-POCK!

FWIP-FWIP—FWIP!

BAM!

Though tired, physically, my mind still works from sensing the attack. The three of us catch a horde of tennis balls with each hands, as we face the men in red, white, and black.

"About time you kids showed up."

"Heh...you're no older than us, man."

Daiki shrugs, caring less what one of them said.

"...Hm?"

I then realize the only teen with blonde hair standing in front of everyone else, is staring right at me. I pay no mind to his sharp gaze, just tilt my head, humming in curiosity.

"We're Team Cerberus," Junpei introduces, "temporary chefs and head security staff of U-17."

"A chef and a guard? You must be joking."

"Who says we can't be both? Anyway, the name's Shimizu Daiki and 19-years-old. A.k.a. your senpai, so don't get cocky or you'll might end up going hungry."

"I'm Fujiwara Junpei, 23-years-old and second-in-command."

"And who's the girl?"

"Don't tell me this kid sister of yours is the head honcho?"

"You could say that, Tono Atsukyo."

"Uh...?"

"Your favorite is apple pie, I believe. Your doubles partner Kimijima Ikuto, favors paella. Two very different palettes for ruthless players, but good choice of variety. Although, you can't beat a classic onigiri. I'm surprised you favor that more than your hometown's cooking, Watanabe-san."

"You've done your research, miss."

"It's the job of a chef to figure out a customer's preferred diet, even the cheat meals."

The mohawk teen chuckles with a friendly smile.

"Nice to meet you. I'm the 16-year-old daughter of Tsuge Ryuji...Tsuge Alivia. While dad may be the devil coach of the courts..."

TOSS!

SHAA/WHIRL~

"Ngh!"

WHOOSH~!
