Sure enough, Shido soon discovered the problem: The guy with the thick eyebrows must have been with the tall girl.
Yotsuba perfectly suppressed the opponent, but when she scored, the thick eyebrow guy often judged that her shots were out and gave the score to the tall girl. He must have done it on purpose; after all, a guy with bad eyesights shouldn't be a judge anyway.
With Shido's eyesight, he could naturally see where each ball landed. Every one of Yotsuba's killer shots was in. According to the rules, she should get the point; however, it was judged as out.
Of course, Yotsuba tried to protest, but he said that he had the authority to judge the ball placements; after all, he was a member of the runner-up team in the League Finals. He knew tennis more than anyone here.
Naturally, Yotsuba realized what he was up to, but she didn't say anything. She simply chose to hit the ball in the center of the field; after all, no matter how shameless he was, he couldn't declare that those shots were out too.
But in this way, the pressure on the tall girl was less than before, and the field she had to cover became less as well. As long as she stood in the middle of the court, the game became almost evenly matched.
On the other hand, Shido, who was on the sidelines, kept squinting his eyes. He watched the game very seriously. If there was any problem, he had to help Yotsuba as soon as possible. He was also watching out for that guy with thick eyebrows, in case he made a dangerous move.
However, the incident that Shido was worried about did not happen, and the game continued smoothly, but to his surprise, Yotsuba won in the end with 6-4. Even in such an unfavorable situation, her physical strength was relatively superior. In the end, the tall girl no longer had the strength to return Yotsuba's powerful serve.
Shido smiled, took out a new towel from somewhere, and handed it to Yotsuba. He recognized Yotsuba's efforts, and he had to say that it was very impressive of her to win in such an adversary situation.
"Thanks."
Yotsuba took it with a little blushing, wiped the sweat from her face, and sniffed it...
It didn't have the scent of Shido since it was a new towel, so she couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
Yoshino, who saw this scene, had a strange feeling in her heart. She should have done this kind of behavior for Shido! If only he was going to play...
As if answering her wishes, the guy with thick eyebrows suddenly turned to Shido with a tennis racket in his hand and said:
"After women's tennis, we should have men's tennis!"
His idea was simple: Avenge the tall girl. He couldn't stand seeing his girlfriend getting defeated. Shido seemed very close with Yotsuba, and they looked like a couple, so he chose Shido as his opponent.
