Chapter 18

Morning arrives and after eating breakfast Uchika has Soji practice his one-handed backhand slice on the wall room, while Aki does her usual routine with Uchika.

Since this is the last day of Soji here Uchika decided to just spend the afternoon teaching Soji the importance of rest as she knows that Soji doubles his workout most of the time in school.

"You said that during your first year you didn't get to use the court much since the upperclassmen are hogging it right?"

"Yes, since we only have 4 tennis court for the boys and also four for girls and the girls' side are also fully booked."

Chapter 18

"I see so you mostly do double the physical training most of the time. If I may suggest something concerning that?"

"Of course you can coach." Answered Soji enthusiastically.

"Since you are now a second year and you can at least use a court to practice, how about having a 7 point game with your clubmates and the winner gets to stay while the loser has to switch out."

"So that you can use the court much more if you win and you also get to have an important game experience going against different players?"

"I could try and suggest that to them and also so that the first years also get a chance that I didn't get."

"Also although you can do this now it is also important to have a rest day in a week or something unless it is near match time"

"Well it is just a suggestion and you could also go to the club where I work if that doesn't get to them." Said Uchika while handing Soji a business card.

"You really did not miss the timing to promote this coach."

"Well, it is run by me and my friends so it is fairly new also you can stop calling me to coach now and go back to what you call me before because your training with me officially ended."

"Okay, Uchika ba-san."

"Also your parents are gonna get you in a while so help me up clean this mess."

After cleaning up the mess Aki gives Soji more payers to watch to try and make him improve his overall game and also to find a winning formula for himself while they are waiting for Soji's parents to pick him up.

Receiving a message, Uchika checks her phone and after reading it turns to Soji and says. "Seems like your father is already here to pick you up."

Soji then goes to the room where he stayed and gets all of his things in there and says his goodbye to both Uchika and Aki.

"Thanks for taking care of me this past few days," he said while bowing toward both of them.

Before riding the car with his dad getting him Soji and Aki exchanges numbers so they can contact each other and so he can have talked with Aki more.

And also recommend something for her to watch since when he stays with them he didn't even see her watch some movie or anything other than sports-related things.

So he plans to ask her about her free days and have her watch some movies or dramas since he can't let the poor girl not know of the classics.

In the car, Mitsu asks Soji how his golden week goes. "So how was your training fare?"

"It was tough but I at least acquire a new weapon." Said Soji while beaming.

"I see then it was worth it having your mom contact her."

"But she is kinda mad about you two though since it looks like you have her babysit me while both of you go and have time for just yourself."

"Not really cause all we did was visit your grandparents and after that, we just work like normal since our jobs don't give us that type of luxury."

Hearing that Soji knows that it is true as his mom a designer and tailor while his dad is an editor while also doing some side job as a freelance critic.

He knows how hard their work is as he works with his mom as a part-time model because of money and also helps his father review some stuff when he is busy with his full time work.

That's why he isn't really worried about money since he has some sort of fail-safe for it and he just saves it as he didn't need it aside for his tennis equipment since he doesn't play games that since he goes home really tired most of the time.

And for clothes and luxuries, he doesn't really need those as his mom already buy those and for his spare time, he just watches movies and stuff since his father has him review some of it sometime.
