The next morning.
"Where are Kunimitsu and Sakura?" Tezuka Grandpa poked his head out from behind the newspaper and asked.
"Ah, the two of them went out early in the morning," Tezuka's mother replied.
"But it's a pity, Dad. Ah Guang went back to school to participate in the tennis practice. Sakura said that she's meeting a friend in Tokyo that she hasn't seen in a long time. She's probably going shopping today."
Tezuka Grandpa gritted his teeth, "Kunimitsu is too careless!" — The newspaper in his hand gradually changed shape …
"Aiya, Dad, it's okay. Sakura is meeting girls!"
Tezuka's mother comforted Tezuka Grandpa, "But —" She frowned, "Sakura seems to be going to a concert with the boys from her school's tennis club in the afternoon …"
"She's too careless!"
— Rukawa Sakura, you're too careless!
You even told Tezuka's mother about her schedule!
Ginza, Tokyo.
"Sakura, Sakura!
Here, here! "
"Shizyin, Chizusa.
Good morning! "Rukawa Sakura smiled at her two friends.
Natsume Shizyin smiled, "Of course!
When I told Chizusa yesterday, she was so excited.
She came to my house early in the morning before the sun was up and dragged me out. "Her gaze became dangerous, and her smile became holy …
Kazuki Chizusa looked at her fingers, "I haven't seen Sakura in a long time …" She shrank back a little.
"Yes, yes, yes!
You're the only one who hasn't seen her in a long time!
I'm not the only one!
Do you have to be like this? "Natsume Shizyin curled her lips and said unhappily.
"Alright, aren't we seeing her now?
Let's go. We came out especially for shopping today.
It's rare for me to come to Tokyo. "Rukawa Sakura held their hands, and the three of them strolled down the street.
At a sneaker store.
"Eh?!
Sakura, you want to buy basketball shoes? "Chigusa asked in surprise.
"No, it's for my brother.
Wasn't the county tournament about to begin?
Take it back as a gift and congratulate him on winning the championship. "
"You really have a lot of confidence in your brother. The county competition hasn't even started and you're already congratulating him for being the champion." Xiamu Shizin teased.
"Ah, Sakura, you're so good to your brother!
I would never buy such expensive shoes for my brother.
It's the latest model from Adidas, tsk tsk! "
Fengling Qiancao looked at the pair of shoes in front of her with emotion. "Besides, under normal circumstances, it's normal for a brother to give his sister a gift, right?
Whenever I want something, I'll pester my brother. If he dares not to buy it for me, he's dead meat! "
Rukawa Sakura narrowed her eyes. "Ah, that's really unfortunate!
Our family is the exact opposite. After all, the financial power of the family is in my hands! "Rukawa Sakura smiled brightly." If I hand it over to my brother, I will go bankrupt! "
"Hehe …" Xiamu Shizin laughed dryly.
Sakura's brother, I'm extremely sympathetic towards you!
"Sakura … .are you so confident that your brother can win the championship?" Fengling Qiancao asked.
"Ah, of course!
My family's brother is so idiotic that he can win the championship. As for the rest, don't count on it!
If he can't even win the championship, then he doesn't need to plan on eating my cooking.
Un, he won't have any pocket money either! "Rukawa Sakura smiled brightly. Her background was filled with little flowers.
So … .so scary … Xiamu Shizin shuddered at Fengling Qiancao's words.
This is a blatant threat okay …. Sakura's brother, you're so pitiful ….
Rukawa Sakura smiled as she watched the salesperson pack the shoes and then go to the counter to pay.
In front of the counter, a tall boy with a hedgehog head stood with his back facing Rukawa Sakura.
When he turned around, Rukawa Sakura saw the lazy smile on his face.
"Sendo …" Rukawa Sakura murmured.
"Hm?" Sendo Akira lowered his head to look at Rukawa Sakura.
The little girl in front of him was wearing a white long-sleeved shirt and a blue jacket. She wore black jeans and a pair of white sneakers.
Her long black hair was tied into a high ponytail, and her long bangs covered her small face.
Her height only reached his chest at most, and she looked very petite.
He … .shouldn't recognize her ….
"Are you calling me?" A sunny and lazy smile hung on his face.
"Ah, Sendo Akira.
What?
You don't remember me?
Kanagawa's Rukawa Sakura.
Hm, Sendo Big Brother? "Rukawa Sakura looked at Sendo Akira in amusement.
"Rukawa Sakura?
Hm … .that … Sakura … .the little girl who kicked me into the sea? "Sendo Akira raised his eyebrows and smiled at Rukawa Sakura.
"Can you not use that to remember me?
It wasn't on purpose. "
"I can't help it. I have a deep impression of you." Sendo Akira shrugged. "Are you in Tokyo?
By yourself? "
"Something like that.
I made an appointment with a friend to come to the concert.
I arrived first, so I'll go shopping first. "
"Oh, is it that 'Heavenly Sound'?
My family gave me a ticket too. How troublesome. I don't like that sort of thing …. "Sendo Akira scratched his head.
"See you at the concert then — we should meet again.
My friend is waiting for me. I want to pay first. "
"Ah, are you buying basketball shoes?"
"I'm buying them for my brother.
The prefectural tournament is about to start.
Hey, Sendo Akira, you have to work hard too. Getting an MVP or something would be good. "
"Haha, how troublesome!
You're already cheering for me … .then I'll go first. See you at the concert in the afternoon. "
"Hm, bye."
Rukawa Sakura watched Sendo Akira leave. His tall figure blended into the crowd and stood out like a crane in a flock of chickens.
