Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

Matsumoto Sachiko wiped the table with her hands, and the battle was about to begin...

Chapter 280: Monster Girl from Tokyo

On the other side, Chiaki Hoshino did not retreat at all.

After all, there is only one champion in the end. Only by defeating the opponent can she date Sosuke in the forest at night.

Ah, no, actually we were participating in a courage contest together...

So she looked straight at Matsumoto Sachiko in front of her with the determination to win.

Only at this moment did she reveal a rare sharp look.

“At this point, I can only boldly ask Sister Qianqiu to teach me! No, I should ask Sister Qianqiu to become my defeated opponent!”

"I couldn't ask for more! Come and try to surpass me, Sachiko!"

Perhaps infected by the surrounding atmosphere, Chiaki Hoshino actually began to actively cooperate with her opponent's performance as if she was getting into the role.

"Sachiko serves, the score is 0:0."

Referee Yukiko Sasaki loudly announced the start of the match.

"Let's have a fair fight!"

Matsumoto Sachiko shouted in a way that made one wonder if she was a samurai.

Her fighting spirit is high, but she seems to have little experience in table tennis matches.

It's really funny to see him shouting loudly while doing the pigeon-toed and toilet-squatting positions.

"Come on, Sachiko—!"

"Take it, Sister Qianqiu!"

Sachiko Matsumoto swung her racket, placed all her hopes on the ping-pong ball, and served her first ball.

The ball, full of energy, drew a parabola in the air and fell towards Chiaki Hoshino's table.

Ginjo Sousuke and the three ladies who were watching the fight couldn't help but blink.

This is not surprising, because the fly ball thrown by Matsumoto Sachiko was extremely slow.

The ping-pong ball that bounced high was simply a free point, making people wonder if she was underestimating her opponent.

This behavior, which was completely contrary to her previous passionate speech, surprised everyone.

Faced with this super good ball that "can be easily returned by just picking up the racket and swinging it down", Chiaki Hoshino obviously didn't react.

"Is Sachiko provoking me? Or is she testing my strength?"

'Is she trying to show weakness and then find my weakness to strike back?'

While Chiaki Hoshino was constantly calculating in her mind, she also responded with a high fly ball.

The ball drew a high arc in the air and fell towards the opposite table.

Matsumoto Sachiko hit the ball high back to Chiaki Hoshino's table again.

After a few rounds of a friendly match between two old ladies in the afternoon sun -

"Hey, hey, what are you two doing? Please be serious."

Chie Hoshino couldn't stand her impatience and started to urge her on.

Ginjo Sosuke also found it a bit strange. Even if it was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, wasn't it pretending to be a pig for too long?

"This kind of temptation seems meaningless, doesn't it?"

"Anyway, let's try to strike first."

After making up her mind, Chiaki Hoshino increased the force of her return in the next round.

Although it was only slightly more difficult than the previous high fly ball, the ball returned by Matsumoto Sachiko still hit the net.

"Very good, very good, someone finally scored. I almost fell asleep watching this."

Chie Hoshino flipped over the scoreboard on her sister's side and shouted excitedly.

"Then it's my turn to serve."

"Got it! Let's get started!"

Chiaki Hoshino strikes a serving pose.

Her serve is definitely not amazing, it's just an ordinary serve.

But──

This time it did not touch the net, but Matsumoto Sachiko's racket did not even touch the ball, and her swing missed.

"Could it be that Sachiko simply doesn't know how to play table tennis?"

Such doubts slowly arose in Chiaki Hoshino's mind.

When it was Matsumoto Sachiko's turn to serve again, her little doubt was quickly answered.

MISS!

MISS!

Whether it was serving or returning, all of them were MISS!

The status afterwards was also full of MISS.

The intense tug-of-war that everyone was expecting did not happen, and in the blink of an eye, Chiaki Hoshino scored the winning goal.

This should be Matsumoto Sachiko's last serving chance, and Hoshino Chiaki couldn't help but want to ask clearly.

"Um...Excuse me..."

"What...what happened...Sister Qianqiu?"

"Sachiko, are you not very good at playing ping-pong?"

The degree of instability is extreme.

Matsumoto Sachiko pursed her pale lips and looked away guiltily. It seemed that there was no need to answer.

I originally thought she was also an athlete, but unexpectedly she revealed such an unknown side of her.

There was nothing she could do after being discovered, so Matsumoto Sachiko put the palm of one hand on the racket.

"Well, should we change the competition?"

"It seems so easy to watch players playing table tennis on TV, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult..."

It turns out that she has no experience at all. Is she so confident going into the game just because she watched the live broadcast of the game a few times?

Ginjo remembered that Matsumoto Sachiko was quite active when playing beach volleyball, so why is she so slow when it comes to table tennis?

Could it be that she is only good at playing with big balls and is not used to this kind of small ball sport?

Ginjo looked at the plump fruit that was as big as a volleyball dangling in front of her and came to this conclusion...

Her attitude of not giving up the game is truly great, and her coquettish tone is even more heart-warming.

Unfortunately, these are still not as great as the desire for Silver City.

"Sachiko, it's the last ball."

Chiaki Hoshino quickly rejected her request to change her competition event.

"Woo~ Well, I won't give up so easily!"

Although Matsumoto Sachiko made her final wail, the numbers on the scoreboard remained so cruel.

The game is over.

The final score is 11:0.

It is said that there is always a tacit understanding in table tennis matches to "let the opponent get at least 1 point", but if Matsumoto Sachiko can't even hit the most basic serve, then there is really nothing we can do.

"Woo woo woo, mom..."

After the crushing defeat, Matsumoto Sachiko threw herself pitifully into her wife's arms.

"It's okay, Sachiko, it's just a fun game."

Tomoko Matsumoto smiled and stroked her daughter's hair to comfort her.

Finally it’s the finals.

The sister showdown, the final stage is undoubtedly a great opportunity to defeat each other.

Yukiko Sasaki reset the scoreboard to zero. The Hoshino sisters looked at each other and then returned to their positions to wait.

Sachiko Matsumoto, who had lost the game before, has been reduced to the role of live commentator.

"Mom, who do you think has a better chance of winning between the two of them?"

"Hmm~ Well, this one should be Chie."

"Hmm? Why do you say that? Sister Qianqiu's performance just now was obviously very good too."

"Maybe it's because Chie's athletic ability is so outstanding. Although Chiaki looks good, she seems to be a little behind her sister."

Matsumoto Sachiko observed the two people who were preparing for the battle again, then nodded, as if she agreed with her wife's point of view.

Although Chiaki Hoshino had just finished the competition, her eyes were fixed on the other person who was most likely to be the champion.

That is the monster girl from Tokyo who has outstanding athletic ability, her elder sister, Chie Hoshino.

Just by looking at her posture, you can tell she is an expert.

The swing of the racket was very small, but you could still hear the sharp sound of wind, because she stabilized her lower body and used her waist strength to turn her upper body.

"Short-grain rubber is better, but there's nothing I can do. Hmm, these are actually match balls~"

"Don't be picky about the racket or the ball... You're too professional... Sister..."

When Chie Hoshino heard her sister's mumbling, the corners of her mouth suddenly rose slightly.

"Qianqiu, although I didn't want to join this fight at first, now that the competition has begun, I won't show mercy~"

"Don't worry, sister. I also hope you can be more serious. That way, defeating you will be meaningful."
