Tokyo life starting with painting

While Konoe Tsuima was holding the table tennis ball, he raised his head and looked at Higashino Tsukasa, who was standing there casually holding a racket across from him.

He is indeed very good-looking, with fine features and elegant features. At first glance, he looks like a literary young man who is engaged in art or studying. His eyes are lively, and when his eyebrows are stretched out, he has the feeling that a gentleman should not be insulted.

This first impression is very good.

It's just that this kind of literary young man also has a disadvantage, which is that his body is weak and he can't move his hands. He is out of breath when he exercises.

It's not that Konoe Tsushima doesn't like literary youths, but he still feels that if he's looking for a boyfriend, it's better to find someone who can give him a sense of security and be tougher, especially someone like his daughter, who has a weak personality.

If Higashinoji as her boyfriend is also the kind of weak and weak person, the effect of plus one is not equal to two.

He took advantage of the opportunity of serving to fully look at Higashinoji. Higashinoji on the other side was not idle either, and was also looking up and down at the father-in-law in front of him.

Konoe Tsushima's body looked very strong at first glance, and his brows were always furrowed, giving him an inhumane and cold look.

This is a tough guy character, he doesn’t feel like a daughter-in-law.

This made Higashino feel more or less relieved, thinking that there wouldn't be any big problems this time.

"Would you like to play two warm-up balls first?" Konoe suddenly asked Tsuima.

He still considered Higashinoji's physical fitness a little and did not serve directly.

"No."

Um?

Hearing what Higashinoji said, Konoe raised his eyebrows at the horse, wondering if the Higashinoji in front of him was a table tennis novice.

You have just held the racket, your body is not warm yet, and you want to play with me who has already activated your body?

That's why a novice who doesn't know much about the sport of table tennis would say something like this.

Konoe Tsuima has always been very confident in his own skills. He won't say that he is invincible in the world, but if he beats you, a weak student, it won't be a big problem, right?

With this thought in mind, Konoe Tsuima held the racket firmly and said, "Then I'll just tee off, please pay attention."

He threw the ball up and served directly!

The light yellow table tennis ball crossed the net, hit the table, and rushed towards the opponent!

This is the level at which Konoe Tsushima took care of Higashinoji and let him go.

After all, he is his daughter's boyfriend, so he can't just press him down on the table tennis table and ravage him casually.

He also had many questions to ask Higashinoji, so he couldn't let him lose directly.

But to be honest, Higashinoji's standing posture while holding the racket is too unprofessional. In the eyes of a semi-amateur like him, this posture is too horrible to look at.

Konoe Tsuima shook his head inwardly, a little hopeless.

Then--

Snapped!

The yellow afterimage bounced off the table and then flew past him.

ah?

Konoe Tsuima was stunned.

What happened just now?

what's the situation?

He picked up the ball, glanced at Higashinoji in surprise, and after a moment of silence, he kicked off again.

The shadow of the ball flickered again. This time it was different from last time. Konoe Tsushima caught the ball several times, and then the ping-pong ball flew past him again.

Um? ? ?

Seeing Higashinoji's face not changing much, Konoe Tsushima frowned this time. Although he had stopped his hand, his ball was not something that others could catch casually. It seemed that Higashinoji was not what he thought. He is such a table tennis novice.

Konoe Tsushima was temporarily behind, but he was not panicked. After all, he still had five or six moves left. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he had given Higashinoji a Pacific Ocean, and he was just playing with such a junior, so there was no need for him at all. To be honest, he mainly wanted to get to know Higashinoji this time, so he let him come on stage.

With this in mind, Konoe asked the horse, "Have you practiced table tennis somewhere?"

In response to Konoe's question about horses, Higashinoji replied with a smile: "I can only say that I understand a little, father-in-law."

After Higashino answered like this, he was actually a little annoyed in his heart.

Why did you hit the ball back? I should give the ball to my father-in-law.

It's just that Higashinoji didn't expect that his father-in-law would be so dissatisfied with him that he almost lost the water of the Milky Way, and he still couldn't catch his ball.

Isn’t this too difficult to serve? If you keep letting the water go, maybe the other party will see that you are letting the water go.

Higashikata was a little helpless.

People like Konoe Tsushima who know a little bit about table tennis are almost the most difficult to let go. If you let it go too obviously, the opponent will also be able to see it. But if you don't let it go, this battle will be too one-sided. .

"Father-in-law.?" Konoe Tsushima couldn't help but narrow his eyes after hearing Higashinoji call him that, feeling more or less angry in his heart.

He had not yet agreed to marry his daughter to him, so he hurriedly accepted the marriage. This was too fast.

Konoe Tsushima thought he had probably won two balls, causing Higashinoji to lose sight of the situation.

So he pinched the ping pong ball again and decided to use seven or eight of his own strength to deal with Higashinoji.

The water must be released, but before that, I have to get a few balls to attack this kid's spirit.

Konoe Tsushima restarts the kick.

“But don’t forget the main purpose.”

Konoe Tsushima thought to himself.

He can't act on impulse. Instead of beating Higashinoji with table tennis, he wants to ask some questions about Konoe Ryoka.

But this time, Higashinoji felt different.

nice. improve rapidly.

Higashinoji nodded while catching the ball - he still maintained the state of "putting a galaxy of water", thinking that the opponent was indeed pretty good and could actually keep up with the speed of the ball after he put in so much water.

Then you can give the ball a little bit.

Touyesi breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that he would accidentally slap his father-in-law to death again.

For this reason, he even made a special trip to pick a high ball and waited for the opponent to come over.

What Higashinoji didn't expect was that his father-in-law made a mistake and didn't even catch the high ball.

this.

Higashino opened his mouth, he was really not expecting this situation.

My father-in-law is too dishonest, right?

I almost fed the ball directly to his mouth.

Higashikata was a little depressed for no reason.

On the other side, Konoe Tsushima, who had missed a great opportunity, was also anxious.

Higashikata made such a big mistake just now, but I didn't even seize this opportunity?

0:4 is all over.

This is completely different from what Konoe Tsushima thought at first.

Originally, he thought he was the one who could calmly watch Higashikata being tortured, but his position was completely reversed.

And how to say it.

Konoe Tsushima was more or less agitated.

After all, my daughter is watching from the side. If I can't even control her boyfriend, I will really lose my temper.

The next ball must be won.

He frowned here, throwing away his previous thought of 'don't be impulsive'.

On the other side, Higashinoji also made up his mind - the next ball must be missed.

Otherwise, this would be too much, and my father-in-law wouldn’t get a cent from it.

They both made up their minds and started to get serious.

The guard on one side tried his best to score points.

On the other side, Higashinoji desperately wanted to give the ball away, and at the same time, he couldn't let Konoe Tsuiuma see the flaw.

Seeing that both of them seemed to be getting serious, Konoe Madou, who had been watching, couldn't help but sigh: "Lianghua, your boyfriend is very good at playing golf, but your dad is already getting serious."

"Huh?" Konoe Ryoka, who looked nervous next to her, looked at Konoe Mato in surprise.

The fight was so intense just now, are you still just warming up?

"Actually, your dad has always been letting off steam." Konoe Mato was a little amused, and pointed at Higashinoji on the other side, who was "preparing for battle": "But this kid is too ignorant. He is so serious and doesn't care about every ball. It's a bit too much to refuse to let it go to your father."

His words left Konoe Ryoka speechless for a while.

immature.

If this was said to others, Konoe Ryoka would understand.

But Higashinoji is definitely not the kind of unreasonable person. He will definitely give the ball away.

It's just that it's 0:4 now, and Higashinoji really didn't concede a single point.

This made Konoe Ryoka a little confused, and she could only sit in the rest seat and watch the two of them compete.

Higashinoji really wanted to give up the ball, and his desire to give up the ball was very strong, and he even felt like putting down the table tennis bat and surrendering.

But if he really did that, Konoe Tsuima might think he was provoking.

Therefore, Higashinoji could only try his best to maintain the state of "barely catching the ball" while looking for opportunities to let go.

This is the first time that Higashino has tried so hard in table tennis to get out of the way.

But things went against expectations. Every time either Higashinoji found an opportunity to release the ball, but Konoe Tsuima failed to seize it, or Konoe Tsuima had already lost the ball before he found the opportunity to release the ball.

This made Higashino couldn't help but sigh - it was the first time he found that it was so difficult to concede the ball.

Simply! I have so many flaws, can't you just beat me to death in one shot? Father-in-law, why are you so useless?

Naturally, it was impossible for Higashinoji to say this. He could only look for opportunities to give the ball away.

And with Higashinoji's all-out effort, Konoe Tsushima finally got two points from him with great difficulty, and finally managed to avoid being shaved off.

It was pure torture.

It was the first time that Higashino felt that playing table tennis was such a tiring thing.

When the beating was finally finished, he put down the racket without hesitation: "This is the end, father-in-law."

"One more game." Konoe said directly to the horse with a sullen face.

It was really embarrassing for him to lose, especially in front of his own daughter. His face was not only embarrassing but also shameless.

Konoe was obviously jealous of the horse. In layman's terms, he was already enthusiastic and had no intention of retreating.

On the other side, Higashinoji rubbed his temples.

Another round?

Isn't it enough to torture me for a round, Higashinoji thought? Want another round?

To be honest, he really didn't want to fight.

But looking at Konoe Tsuima's ashen expression, Higashino thought for a while and nodded.

Okay, okay, come again.

This time, he summarized his experience last time and placed a galaxy of water at the same time, and basically placed all the balls that could be placed.

Higashinoji couldn't believe that even Konoe Tsushima couldn't beat him.

This progress can be said to be very smooth. Higashinoji frequently released the ball and Konoe Tsuishima frequently scored. In the end, Higashinoji won 9:11.

To be honest, this made Toyoji a little confused.

He even wondered if his father-in-law had let him off on purpose. If his father-in-law hadn't done it on purpose, would he still be able to win against me?

Konoe Tsushima obviously didn't want to pay attention to Higashinoji's thoughts. This time he felt that he had found the trick, so he stretched out his finger and said, "Do it again."

Do it again?

Tonoji let out a heavy breath.

The torture seemed to have no end.

But to be honest, my father-in-law is really good and fun-loving, and even if he loses like this, he still has to keep fighting. He really has an indomitable spirit.

But come on come on!

The fight has been going on so far, Higashinoji can't just take a few steps back and say he won't fight, right?

That would be too disgusting.

At least you have to let the other side win.

Higashinoji regained his energy, held the racket steady, and began to release water.

That's it, after six games.

Konoe Tsuima finally managed to 'defeat' Higashinoji with one goal difference and won the victory.

This made Tonoji let out a long breath and his mood improved - he finally lost.

He had waited too long for this defeat.

Konoe Tsushima finally won.

To be honest, by the middle of the game, Higashinoji had actually discovered that Konoe Tsushima was a little confused after being beaten. His thoughts on catching the ball and returning the ball were blurred, and he was playing completely by intuition.

If Higashinoji hadn't released two galaxies of water, he would have won the game again.

"What a wonderful contest." Higashinoji said with satisfaction, reaching out his hand to shake Konoe Tsuima's hand.

The Konoe on the other side was completely satisfied with the horse.

After finally winning a game, his face was finally not too ugly, and a smile appeared on his face as deep as water: "Indeed, it was a good contest. Mr. Higashino's skills are superb. I lost five games in a row." field, and finally won a victory.”

Konoe Tsushima, who had defeated Higashinoji, was obviously in good spirits, but he paused as he spoke and raised his eyebrows, as if he remembered something.

Wait a minute.

What were you thinking before you played the ball just now?

You should ask Higashino some questions by playing table tennis. Don't be impulsive and give the ball as much as you can.

But after playing six games in a row, I didn’t seem to ask a single question? Are you thinking about winning?

Konoe Tsuima was silent.

In front of his daughter, he was indeed a little bit out of sorts.

He didn't even ask anything. He really just spent most of his time playing golf seriously.

This made him a little confused.

But when he thought about winning against Higashinoji, his mood obviously improved again.

It feels good to win against this guy.

At least I won, not too much of a loss.
