In a sunny morning of Keyakizaka High School, a girl with twintail was practicing tennis with a brown haired girl who seems fired up.
"Not like this! Come on Memi! Release all of your strength!" shouted the brown haired girl.
"Yes Akane-senpai!!" shouted the twintail girl named Kakizaki Memi.A day before yesterday, Memi asked Akane to teach her how to play tennis. Memi was amazed by Akane's play at her first day of school when Tennis Club held a demo play to attract the 1st grade. She admired Akane and applied the form for Tennis Club.
"Yeah! Like that! Now run around the field 10 times!" said Akane.
"Eeh??!" shocked Memi.
"Do you want to be a pro like me?! Come on I challenge you to see who is the fastest runner!" said Akane fired up.
"Ooh!! Okay! I won't lose to you Akane-senpai!" Memi also get fired up.Akane and Memi are on the field track, they both are on fire to prove who is the best runner. Shida Manaka who watched them from the side then walked to near them. She gave a cue to them before they run.
"Everyone is ready?" asked Manaka.
"Yosh!!" answered Memi and Akane.
"In 3.. 2.. 1.. go!!"Akane and Memi run with all of their might, Akane who had the strongest guts in the school run in front of Memi. They both run faster in the field track.
Suddenly Watanabe Risa come approaching Manaka who walked to the bench.
"Manaka, what are you doing here?" asked Risa.
"Oh! Ricchan! Come sit with me, let's watch these brats competing each other." giggled Manaka.Risa joined Manaka to watch Akane and Memi running on the field. Risa sit next to Manaka who laughed because Akane's eyes was fired up while running.
"What Akane and that 1st grade doing here?" asked Risa.
"Akane giving a special lesson to Kakizaki Memi." answered Manaka while giggled.
"What's funny?" confused Risa as she saw Manaka giggled.
"Don't you see Akane's face? Her face changed when she start to run, hahaha." giggled Manaka again.Risa sighed while smiling as she saw Manaka giggled a lot. She is happy to see her precious person smiled a lot.
"Isn't that too strict to Memi? Memi's face looks tired." said Risa.
"Ah.. hahaha.. you are right.." said Manaka as she finished her giggles.
"I'll buy a drink.." said Risa then she stand up and walked inside to school building to get some drinks from vending machine.After running around 10 times they both draw at the finish line. Akane and Memi were exhausted because their crazy running. They both lied on the ground then Manaka approaching them while bringing 2 towels for both of them.
"You both really crazy.." said Manaka handed Memi a towel for her.
"Thank you Manaka-senpai." thanked Memi then she wiped her sweats around her face.
"Where is my towel? Manaka.. give me my towel.." said Akane.Manaka throwed the towel to Akane's face then Akane reflected to wake up.
"Oi! Why you treated Memi kindly while me not?!" complained Akane.
"Hehehe, because Memi is a little kid that must be treated nicely than you." teased Manaka.
"Geez.. I wish Yuuka came here." wished Akane.
"She will scold you because you treated Memi too strict." said Manaka.
"Ehh I'm fine with that.. This is a training to be a pro that I have to take." said Memi."See? She said that she is fine herself. Did my training is too harsh for you?" asked Akane to Memi.
"Not really. I'm enjoying it!" answered Memi happily."Memi was affected by Akane's crazy guts.." mumbled Manaka as she looked at Memi and Akane laughed each other.
As they had a light conversation, Risa approached them with a plastic bag of drinks. She gave memi a bottle of water and smiling.
"Here is for you, you must be tired right?" said Risa to Memi.
"Ah thank you very much Risa-senpai. You are so kind to me.." thanked Memi as she smile received a bottle of water from Risa."Can I have 1?" asked Akane to Risa.
"Sure, I bought 1 for you." said Risa then she handed a bottle of water to Akane.
"Thanks!" thanked Akane then she drink the water.Suddenly a girl with long hair come approaching them and it was Matsuda Konoka who is in the same class as Kakizaki Memi.
"Good morning senpai, Memi!" greeted Konoka.
"Aah morning.." greeted Manaka followed by Risa's nods.
"Morning Konoka." greeted Memi.
"Is she your friend?" asked Akane.
"Un! She is my classmate." answered Memi.Suddenly Akane stand up and she wrapped her left arm around Konoka's shoulder.
"Yo! 1st grader, what is your name?" smiled Akane.
"E-eh.. M-my name is Matsuda Konoka." answered Konoka haltingly."Here we go the devil Akanen trying to persuade the first grade.." whisper Manaka to Risa as they looked at Akane.
"Araa! Konoka-chan! Welcome to the Tennis Club!" said Akane happily.
"E-eehh?? But I didn't apply for Tennis Club.." said Konoka.
"Do you already have a club?" said Akane as she stared Konoka's eyes.
"N-not yet.." said Konoka shakes her head.
"Then why not you join to Tennis Club? There are lots of benefits in this club. First! You will get healthy because you do sports everyday." explained Akane.
"Ng.. I will think again to join your club senpai.." smiled Konoka awkwardly.Seems like Akane's persuade is not success to bring another first grade to join the club
'If plan A can not work to her, let's use plan B!' think Akane."Hmm hmm.. okay but wait here.." said Akane then she run to the bench to take a note.
"Akanen is really forcing her to join the club.." said Risa to Manaka.
"That brat.." sighed Manaka.Then Akane come back with her note and she handed to Konoka.
"Could you please write your name here? I want to know your name and be friendly to first grade. Since there are lots of them, I can't memorize them if I don't have their name." said Akane.
"Okay. Where I should write my name?" asked Konoka that handed the suspicious note.
"Here.. here.. write your name in the box." said Akane happily.Then Konoka write down her name as Akane ordered to her, after writing her name, she handed the note back to Akane.
"Thank you Konoka-chan! Now you are a part of Tennis Club! Yay!!" said Akane happily.
"E-eh?! Since when??" confused Konoka.
"Since you wrote your name on Akanen's note." said Manaka
"E-eeehhhh??!" shocked Konoka."Yay! I have my classmate in the club!" said Memi happily then she hug Konoka.
"You are really a demon.. Akanen." sighed Risa.
"Welcome to the club!! To celebrate Konoka join our club, I'll treat you after school!" said Akane to Konoka and Memi.
"Yeah! Thank you Akane-senpai!!" Memi happy."U-uh.. thank you Akane-senpai..." said Konoka.
Manaka and Risa shakes their head as she saw Akane get along with her new club member and Memi.
"If Yuuka see this, she might scold Akanen for doing this to 1st grade." said Manaka.
"Yeah, you are right.." agreed Risa.'I guess there is no way to go back..' think Konoka as she smiled being hugged by Memi and Akane.
