The Prince of Tennis: My tennis skills come from Naruto

Chapter 132 Limited Edition of Cat-Eared Kikumaru

As a result, Yukimura Seiichi was genuinely surprised that after drinking just one bottle of Kamiya's special blend, the tingling sensation in the nerves near his spine had significantly decreased.

Yukimura Seiichi had initially thought this consolation prize was actually a form of punishment, but now it seemed—

He was indeed being petty.

Then Yukimura Seiichi learned from the waiting male servants that the next arrangements were as well as the punishment for the red team.

The members of the Green Team immediately felt a pang of sympathy. Thank goodness, thank goodness, thank goodness they were only drinking Kamiya's special drink and not wearing maid outfits.

At 3:30 p.m., in the middle of the bustling shopping street of Komachi-dori in Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture, there is a cute pink shop called "Sweet Maid Milk Tea Shop".

The shop's signboard is pink, featuring a cute maid holding a heart. The window displays exquisite milk tea models and tempting desserts, while a string of blue seashell-shaped wind chimes hangs at the entrance.

"So, Kikumaru and the others work at this shop?" Although he couldn't see what it looked like, the shop's decor made Jiro Akutagawa feel both expectant and amused.

Atobe Keigo also found it quite interesting. Shinobu, who usually behaves so elegantly and is one of the few members of Hyotei who pays as much attention to his image as his master Atobe, is now wearing a maid outfit? Just thinking about it makes him amused.

As expected of Kamiya, who loves to play, he always comes up with fun (and torturous) ideas.

The eight members of the Blue Team entered the Sweet Maid Milk Tea Shop one by one, and the wind chimes at the door rang the moment they entered.

"Ring ring ring".

Then came Kanata Irie's gentle voice, "Welcome! What would you like to order?"

Unexpectedly, it wasn't customers who came in, but the members of the Blue Team.

At this moment, Irie Kanata, dressed in a standard black and white maid outfit, with a white lace apron and a black bow headband, saw Kamiya You at the front. Her smile remained unchanged. Kamiya You and Irie Kanata met eyes. Hmm? That voice—

Although the appearance is a bit off, the height, build, and voice confirm it's Irie?!

You're wearing makeup, aren't you?!

Didn't he tell people not to prepare cosmetics for them? So how did he put on his makeup?!

Kamiya You stroked his chin, not lingering on this question for too long, but instead turning his gaze to the other people in the shop.

Marui Bunta, wearing a red wig and a modified tutu-skirted maid outfit, is putting black tapioca pearls into a milk tea cup, while Yanagi Renji, dressed in a traditional maid outfit with long black hair, is squinting and expressionlessly following the instructions of the shop manager (who also serves as the supervisor).

He was teaching the steps, precisely measuring the ratio of black tea to milk, and Masato Ikeda was with him.

Meanwhile, Kikumaru Eiji, dressed in a red modified maid outfit and wearing a cat ear headband, was sealing the milk tea that had just been made. Next to a small round table covered with a lace tablecloth, Jack Kuwahara, dressed in a brown maid outfit, was vigorously wiping milk tea stains off a table with a rag. Oshitari Yuushi and Yagyu Hiroshi, dressed in blue maid outfits and wearing blue deer ear headbands, were bringing the milk tea to the table.

After scanning, Kamiya You mentally evaluated the results:

Well, Irie, Kikumaru, Marui, and Yanagi all look perfectly natural dressed as maids. Irie, in particular, looks like the perfect gentle yet cunning maid after she puts on makeup with cosmetics she somehow got. As for Kikumaru and Marui, they are the cute type, and Yanagi is the icy maid type, but the others look awkward.

Especially Masato Ikeda, whose broad figure really doesn't match the maid outfit at all, and Jack Kuwabara, whose dark skin and face shape look strange even with a wig on.

After mentally reviewing his order, Kamiya You happened to be in line. He then said, "One brown sugar pearl milk tea, no ice, pure milk, 50% sweetness."

Kanata Irie smiled. "Okay, that'll be 150 yen."

Upon closer listening, Kikumaru Eiji felt the voice sounded familiar. He looked up, then immediately looked down again.

"How embarrassing."

Help! Help! What's with the minister?!

So, wearing a maid outfit is awkward enough, but running into an acquaintance, or even the department head, makes it even more awkward.

Jiro Akutagawa wanted to laugh, but seeing Kikumaru's embarrassment, he outwardly held back, though his expression was a little strange, with the corner of his mouth constantly twitching.

Shuichiro Oishi was taken aback when he saw Eiji Kikumaru's outfit. Although he felt a little sorry for Eiji having to dress up as a woman, he thought that Eiji was really cute (not really).

After ordering his milk tea, Kamiya You snapped a few photos of everyone.

Upon hearing this voice, Kikumaru Eiji immediately felt a sense of justice and that karma was a thing of the past.

Not long ago he mocked Sengoku for having his embarrassing past exposed by the minister, and now it's his turn?

And his dark history is obviously even darker, qaq.

If only he were a master of the art of disappearing on the spot.

Of course, besides Kamiya You, passersby who entered the store later also did this.

"I didn't expect this shop to have so many new maids."

"I feel like they're not very old, right? Aren't they considered child laborers?"

"And for some reason, even though they are very beautiful, they always give me a strange feeling."

"What's wrong with you? You're just a little shy at most."

The surrounding whispers were like tiny needles pricking the nerves of the red team members.

Yuushi Oshitari thought that enduring Irie-senpai playing the saxophone while he was fishing and sketching was the limit, but he didn't expect that there was always someone better.

The members of the blue team each made a purchase at the shop, contributing a small amount to the red team's travel funds, and then took their milk tea to stroll around the shopping street.

That evening, Kamiya You booked out the entire hot spring bath (this was at his own expense, not using any tourist credits).

The huge open-air hot spring pool was filled with white steam, and the warm spring water carried a faint sulfurous smell. The laughter of the Blue Team members could be heard from time to time. Kamiya You leaned lazily against the smooth stone wall, enjoying an ice-cold cola.

On the bank next to the hot spring pool, there are many exquisite trays with hot spring boiled eggs, watermelon, cantaloupe, tomatoes and so on.

There were also various iced drinks, from freshly squeezed orange juice to Coca-Cola to jasmine tea to latte. Over there, Saito Hide took a bite of a boiled egg and exclaimed, "These hot spring boiled black eggs are really good."

Moreover, as expected of a minister, he booked the entire venue – quite a generous gesture.

While the Blue Team was enjoying the hot springs and the Green Team was having a great time traveling, the Red Team was still working hard. After all, what bubble tea shop closes at night? *shrug*

So, it was at this moment that the Red Team members learned the painful truth: they actually only had half a day for their trip.
