The strongest high school student in Japan

"It's okay!" Asana replied quickly.

So, Zhenyou put the racket on the ground and strode towards the bathroom.

It was only then that she realized her legs were almost limp.

Although she often performs on stage, she hasn't done such strenuous exercise for a long time.

Yes, it's very uncomfortable.

She washed her face in the ladies' room, then rested for a while against the wall with her eyes squinted.

After a while, she came out again, and outside the women's bathroom, she suddenly found someone handing her a handkerchief.

"Wipe your face." Jun Mogami whispered.

Zhenyou hesitated for a moment, but still took the handkerchief and wiped the water off her face.

"I'm so embarrassed today..." she then said with a wry smile.

"I don't think so," Mogami Jun replied, "You have tried your best. There is nothing shameful in losing to a strong opponent."

"But at first I wanted to beat her..." Although she was comforted, Zhenyou suddenly felt her nose sore, "I didn't expect her to be so powerful. I ended up being the one being taught a lesson..."

"So what? Losing a tennis match doesn't mean anything. At least you tried your best." Mogami Jun smiled. "And I'm afraid my performance will be even worse later. I heard that Umemiya-senpai is even better than Asana. What do you think I should do?"

Seeing Mogami Jun's smile, Mayu couldn't help but laugh, and the depression and pain that had just accumulated seemed to be swept away.

"Really... you won't look down on Yu-chan? You won't think Yu-chan is not qualified enough to compare with others?" She asked again as if to confirm.

"How could that be? I'm not blind." Mogami Jun was still smiling, and then, like before, he raised his hand and gave a thumbs up to Mayu, "Yuzu-chan... so awesome! So cute!"

A perfect smile appeared on Zhenyou's face, but then tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

"You're so annoying! Why do I have to see Yuzu-chan embarrassed every time? Can't I shine in front of you?" She couldn't help but hit the boy's arm, "Yuzu-chan..."

Finally, she couldn't say anything, so she pushed Mogami Jun and said, "I'll go back and wash my face!"

Then she ran back without looking back.

Listening to the sound of the faucet, Jun Mogami couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Well, at least she was comforted.

It's time to leave.

However, just as he walked out of the bathroom door, he suddenly found that someone was looking at him.

"Asana...?" Mogami Jun was a little surprised.

Asana's face is now a little red due to the exercise just now, and the sweat has stuck her hair to her forehead, but even so, she still looks quite cute.

However, Asana's expression now was a little strange. She looked at Mogami Jun, then bit her lip and turned her head away, as if she didn't want to talk.

This was an expression that Jun Mogami had never seen on Asana.

"Angry...?" Mogami Jun was a little surprised, but he quickly figured it out, "Did you hear me comforting her just now?"

Asana still didn't say anything, but just nodded.

"You've already won, so there's no need to be angry, right?" Mogami Jun couldn't help but laugh, "I'm just comforting the loser..."

"But, I... I... I don't accept it!" Asana finally turned back, looked at Mogami Jun and said, "Aren't the children who perform better the ones who get favored and rewarded? Why is it that I tried my best to perform better and won the game, but you are encouraging others... Isn't this unfair?"

Then, she bit her lip slightly, pouted, and glared at Mogami Jun's protest. "This is the wrong value orientation! Doing this will only discourage those who work hard! I don't agree!"

"Huh..." Mogami Jun opened his mouth, somewhat incredulous. "Then what do you want to do..."

"I want a reward too!" Asana looked at Mogami Jun angrily, "Otherwise what's the point of winning!"

Izumo Asana character design

After the artist worked overtime, Asana's character design is finished. Thanks to the artist again... So cute! It's almost what I imagined...

The clothes I wore were the same as when we first met at the shrine...

Ah, I feel so lucky once again. I don’t know what to say except thank you!

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

190, both sides please

"I want a reward too! Otherwise what's the point of winning!"

Asana's protest made Mogami Jun a little overwhelmed.

Come to think of it, although the two of them have known each other for a while and have a "bad fate" with each other, it was the first time he saw Asana angry - this also proves that Asana is really a girl with a very good temper.

At the moment, she was pouting and staring at him. To be honest, she was really... so cute.

Jun Mogami didn't feel any pressure or tension, he just thought Asana was so cute.

And her protest just now was also very funny - "This is the wrong value orientation! It will only discourage those who work hard! I don't agree with it!"

Should I say she is worthy of being a lady? She can even blame others so elegantly... Mogami Jun almost laughed when he thought of how she said that just now.

Of course, even though he thought so in his heart, he didn't laugh out loud in front of her.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot to congratulate you." Mogami Jun lowered his head in a serious tone, "I'm really sorry, please forgive me for my rudeness, Miss Izumo!"

After hearing Mogami Jun's serious apology, Asana's expression finally softened, but she was still a little indignant. "Just saying it won't work!"

"You're right. Since you won, you should get a reward." Mogami Jun said generously, "So what reward do you want?"

"This...this..." Asana blinked in embarrassment, as if she had not yet figured out the problem.

After a moment, she looked at Mogami Jun hesitantly, "Um... Can I keep the account first? I'll think about it..."

“Hahahaha…” This time Mogami Jun couldn’t help laughing, and agreed directly, “Okay, no problem, tell me when you’ve thought of a reward. Even if it’s something very expensive, I will definitely buy it for you!”

"I won't make such an excessive request!" Chao Na was a little anxious and explained quickly, "Please rest assured."

"Yeah, I know, Asana is the most reasonable..." Jun Mogami answered with a smile, then reached out his hand very naturally and touched her head.

Because of the intense exercise just now, Asana's head was sweating a lot, and the sweat stuck to her hair. When Mogami Jun touched it, he also got a little bit of sticky sweat on it, but he didn't feel disgusted at all. He continued to stroke it back and forth a few times, feeling the touch of Asana's hair.

Do you want to take your finger back and suck it?

Better not to do that, it's too perverted and will scare the children...

"Well, you've sweated so much that your whole body is wet. You must have come here to wash your face, right? Go quickly." Mogami Jun said with a smile.

"Hmm...Gu..." When someone touched his head, Chaonai instinctively shrank back and a blush suddenly appeared on his face.

But her movements were not too intense. On the contrary, she narrowed her eyes slightly, like a cat that had just been petted.

"Well, I know..." She said softly after a moment. "Anyway, you must remember -"

At this moment, the door next to them was suddenly slammed shut, and then there was a loud bang, which startled both of them and made them stop. Mogami Jun withdrew his hand, and then looked back to see Mayu standing at the door staring at them.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Zhenyou, who had just exercised and washed her face, looked radiant, but with her frown and fierce eyes, she gave people an unreasonable sense of oppression.

Compared to Asana who just protested, Mayu is truly angry.

"Sorry to bother you!" After a moment's silence, Zhenyou spoke, and then without even looking at the two people, he walked straight past them and walked out.

Jun Mogami wanted to call her and explain, but after thinking it over, he didn't say anything.

Now that Asana is here, it seems like nothing I say would be good.

"Jun, are you okay..." After she left, Asana finally recovered a little and asked Mogami Jun carefully. "She seems very unhappy...?"

"I just lost to you, there's no way you can be happy." Mogami Jun smiled bitterly.

"It's not just that kind of unhappiness..." Asana shook her head, "It should be a more serious unhappiness..."

"That's a bit confusing. I don't quite understand it." Mogami Jun replied.

Asana hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke. "Actually, it's easy to understand... She was unhappy when she saw us together. She was like that when she greeted us just now..."

Then, she smiled again. "Just now she wanted to compete with me, definitely... definitely just to teach me a lesson, right? Unfortunately, she lost. I can imagine how angry she was. Now seeing us like this, she must be even angrier..."

Mogami Jun looked at the other person with a little surprise.

"I didn't expect you could see that."

"I'm not really stupid, of course I can see something so obvious..." Asana replied with a wry smile, "It's just that everyone finally got the chance to come out, and I don't want everyone's mood to be affected by my own affairs, so I'll just pretend I know nothing and get along with her... But don't get me wrong, I don't hate her at all, I think she's actually a very easy person to get along with... She's hostile to me, is it just because of you, right...?"

Mogami Jun could only nod silently. "Probably."

The two of them had never met before and had no common interests. If there was any conflict, it would probably be only this one reason.

On the other hand, this seems to be an honor for him?

"So, what do you think?" Asana asked carefully again, "You tried every means to get Umemiya-senpai to help promote her. It can be seen that you have a very good relationship with her."

"Yes, she is my good friend." Mogami Jun nodded again, acknowledging the obvious fact, "We have helped each other and admire each other."

"So that's how it is... I thought so too." Asana was not surprised and just nodded slightly.

At this moment, the original joyful mood suddenly disappeared, and Asana lowered his head.

Although I wasn't angry, I started to feel a little depressed.

"Why don't you go and comfort her..." After a moment, Chao Na suggested, "She was already very sad because she lost the game, and now seeing us like that when we first arrived, she must be even sadder... She must think highly of you."

Mogami Jun was silent.

Although everything Zhenyou did was actually her own action and he had no obligation, he really couldn't bear to do anything about it.

After all, if she didn't care about herself, why would she humiliate herself?

"Asana, thank you." Jun Mogami said suddenly.

"Eh? Why are you thanking me suddenly?" Asana was a little surprised.

"Even though you knew she was hostile to you, you didn't get angry. You tried every way to take care of everyone's feelings. Now you have to take care of her feelings... I definitely couldn't do it if it were me." Mogami Jun sighed, "Asana is really a good kid."

"You don't have to praise me like that..." Asana blushed slightly, "I just... I just want everyone to get along happily."

"Then, can you agree to one of my requests?" asked Jun Mogami.

"What...request?" Asana was still confused.

"Can you just continue to be friends?" Mogami asked seriously, "I know this request may be a little difficult, but I still want you to agree to it. Even without any preference, based on objective facts, you both have inestimable value. I really don't want to see such excellent and lovely you hate each other for someone as insignificant as me, and destroy your original glory. It's totally not worth it."

Looking at Jun Mogami's serious expression, Asana was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing.

"It's not like you to suddenly say that you are insignificant..."

Then, she put away her smile and answered solemnly, "I can, just because you praised me so much just now!"

Great, it's Asana after all.

Mogami Jun couldn't help but laugh again.

"If praising you can make you so easy to talk to, then I can praise you every time, Asana, you are the cutest!"

Asana blushed again and lowered her head, not daring to look at Mogami Jun again.

"That's how you lie to other people..." After a moment, she protested quietly, "That's too much."

"But not everyone is worth being deceived by me—" Mogami Jun gestured goodbye and turned to leave. "Okay, I won't delay you from washing up. See you later!"

Then he strode away.

"But, even if we're all friends..." Asana said softly as she watched Jun Mogami leave. "I still hope to be at the front..."

................................................

Jun Mogami left Asana and strode back to the tennis court.

Logically speaking, the next turn would be his turn to compete with Umemiya Natsuki.

But now he doesn't care about any game, his eyes are on things beyond the tennis court.

He was looking for Zhenyou.

There are no tennis courts nearby.

Isn't he gone...

With this thought in mind, he walked towards the stairs.

Sure enough, he soon saw Mayu and Fujiyoshi Ayami. They had already walked to the stairs and seemed to be preparing to leave.
