Tokyo: My debt collection methods are a bit off.

Yusuke Takasaki clearly did it on purpose.

Seeing that there were too many people trying to persuade Hoshino Jun, Gao Liucheng worried that he wouldn't agree, so he led the commotion again:

"Hoshino Jun, don't be a coward. It's just a bet."

"You wouldn't be too scared, would you!"

The youthful-looking beauty, Kato Nana, glanced back and forth between Hoshino Jun and Takasaki Yusuke, her eyes gleaming slightly as she looked at Takasaki Yusuke.

Yusuke is different when he's with Hoshino-kun than before.

It has a slightly mischievous feel to it.

It was only when he sensed the somewhat burning gaze from Qingmei that Takasaki Yusuke realized what was happening.

Because he was too eager to suppress Hoshino Jun, the "gentle boy" persona he usually maintained in front of Kato Nana began to crumble.

Yusuke Takasaki immediately tried to salvage his image, saying in a gentle tone:

"Haha, I just wanted to make the game more interesting, Hoshino-kun shouldn't mind, right?"

【Ding! 】

[Malicious provocation detected from Yusuke Takasaki!]

Choosing not to pursue the matter will result in acquiring a D-level debt of affection.

System, this won't do.

“I can’t forgive someone who’s provokes me so openly, just for a mere 50,000 yen. It would have to be at least 200,000 yen.”

"If you don't give me a B-grade debt, I'll beat you to a pulp."

D-level debt is not enough to make Hoshino Jun bow down.

Need more money!

The system ultimately didn't add any money, and after Hoshino Jun refused to pursue the matter, the mission ended abruptly.

Fifty thousand yen simply vanished into thin air.

This further fueled Hoshino Jun's already bad mood. He lowered his body, gripped his racket tightly, and said in a deep voice:

"Stop talking nonsense. I agree to whatever the conditions are."

"Serve!"

Instantly, a murmur of surprise rippled through the crowd. Everyone felt that Hoshino Jun was far too reckless to agree to such an unreasonable bet.

"Tsk, you're really confident, Hoshino-kun."

Yusuke Takasaki laughed freely, tossed the tennis ball high into the air, leaned his body, and then struck the ball hard with his wrist.

"Snapped--"

There was a crisp sound.

The tennis ball flew through the air in an arc, cleared the center net, and fell towards Hoshino Jun's side, near the sideline.

Can you catch this ball from one of the top ten athletes?

Jun Hoshino!

The tennis ball hit the ground, bounced back into the air, and looked like it was about to go out of bounds.

"What a huge gap!" The audience watching from the sidelines laughed. As expected, Hoshino Jun was bound to lose. How could a regular slacker possibly beat a top ten player?

so funny.

Just when everyone thought Hoshino Jun was about to lose the first point quickly, he suddenly ran towards the tennis ball, bent down and scooped it up just as it was about to fall, and gently smashed it back.

Fishing for the moon in the bottom of the sea!

He actually caught it!

And he even lightly hit the ball back, stopping just above the center of the net.

At this point, Yusuke Takasaki was still quite far from the China Open. No matter how fast he ran, he could only watch helplessly as he lost a point.

"what's the situation?!"

"Hoshino won?"

"really!"

"I guess they were just very lucky."

There was an uproar all around.

"Tch, it's just a stroke of good luck." Takasaki Yusuke also thought that Hoshino Jun was just lucky.

He won by one point, which greatly reduced the effect of the massacre. It's really despicable.

Second ball.

Yusuke Takasaki, positioned in a versatile middle position, quickly volleyed the tennis ball across the line, aiming for Jun Hoshino's position near the back line.

Attacking along the sidelines is Takasaki Yusuke's signature move; he always excels at tormenting his opponents in this way.

Seeing this, Hoshino Jun lazily backed away.

Yusuke Takasaki thought he was going to pull that trick of hitting the ball off the net again, so he quickly followed up at the net.

Unexpectedly, when the racket touched the ball, Jun Hoshino suddenly exerted force.

"Snapped--"

The tennis ball was hit hard and sent flying, leaving a green afterimage as it sped past Yusuke Takasaki before landing with a thud near the sideline.

His strength was too great, and his speed was too fast.

However, their expressions were exactly the opposite of their actions.

His laid-back demeanor led him to deliver the most powerful shots.

They successfully fooled Yusuke Takasaki.

"Boom-thump-thump-"

The tennis ball bounced several times after landing, making a dull yet resounding sound.

The entire room fell silent.

Subsequently

"Honey, you're so cold!!!"

"Hongdouda!!!"

"Hoshino, you've won another point."

Hoshino Jun's fans outside the venue exclaimed in surprise, having been prepared to see her embarrass herself and then go to comfort her.

As a result, Jun Hoshino pulled a fast one on them, winning two points in a row.

A completely overwhelming victory.

Chapter 15 Let the bullets fly for a while

Ignoring everyone's shocked expressions.

Hoshino Jun yawned listlessly, put one hand in his pocket, and walked towards Takasaki Yusuke, who was now in a daze.

Lost!

How could we have lost?

How could I possibly lose to someone who has basically never trained?

Yusuke Takasaki really couldn't understand it.

Hoshino Jun, naturally, wouldn't act like a talkative villain, rambling on and on about how he was able to defeat him. He simply said coldly:

"You lost. Keep your promise."

"Now, call me Big Brother!"

As she spoke, Hoshino Jun raised her chin and stared down at Takasaki Yusuke.

He was about five centimeters taller than Yusuke Takasaki, and he exuded an imposing aura.

"Hoshino-kun, there's no need for that."

With a dark expression, Takasaki Yusuke tried to get Hoshino Jun to act as if nothing had happened, just like last time.

But Hoshino Jun didn't even want to give him a chance to continue, and interrupted him directly:

"What do you mean it's unnecessary?!"

"What, do you want to be a coward who breaks his promise, Takasaki-kun!"

The one who challenged him was Yusuke Takasaki.

The one to gamble on is Takasaki Yusuke.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, it was Takasaki Yusuke who tried to cheat.

"How disgusting!"

"Can you please stop being so shameless? You set the rules yourself, so you can't afford to lose."

"What a bummer."

The criticism from the crowd made Takasaki Yusuke's face turn bright red, especially since his beloved childhood friend was watching right there, making him even more ashamed.

Yusuke Takasaki may not care about everyone's opinions, but he can't bear to let Nana Kato, his childhood friend, look down on him.

"Brother Hoshino!"

After quickly shouting, Yusuke Takasaki gritted his teeth and left the tennis court without saying a word.

He thought that at least he was a person who dared to take responsibility for his actions, and that Nana, such a good girl, shouldn't be angry with him because of this.

Little did he know that the moment he opened his mouth to honor the bet, a look of disappointment flashed across Nana Kato's face.

Rather than accepting defeat, this lovely and talented girl might prefer that Yusuke Takasaki forcefully break his promise.
