Stealing Spree

After the shock subsided from Akane's face, her lips curved up helplessly as she understood what I meant when I apologized to her. Nevertheless, that's not enough to scare her into

facing my serves.

In preparation for my monstrous service, she took two steps back, waiting further behind the baseline.

Although I still only have a shallow knowledge of the sport, I could understand the logic behind that.

In the assumption that all my serves will go in her service box, her field of vision will widen, allowing her to see where the fast-as-a-bullet serve will land. As long as she sees that, it won't be like the first one wherein her eyes failed to catch where it bounced off.

"Bring it on, husband! Keep 'em coming!"

That's my girl.

And with that, I steeled my decision to never hold back with my serves. I wanted to win but so was Akane.

For Akane, staying at home to wait for me was already enough. She didn't want to divert attention to other things.

On the other hand, I just want her to occupy herself with something else even if she's waiting for me to come home. That's why I also encouraged my girls to pursue their dreams.

Yue was ready to step down from her career just to be with me.

Otoha didn't care about anything as long as she could also be with me.

Hana who returned to this country just for the chance to reconnect with me.

They all have bright futures ahead and I'm already satisfied to be the one who will spend that future alongside them. I really don't want them to be like me who have nothing to think about but how to serve all of them.

Granted, my situation is different because I can just divide my time to be with all of them. But that's really the reason why I am advocating for Akane to not lock herself up with me...

"Here I go, wife. I'll comfort you again if you lose to me!" I replied as I tossed the ball up high.

"In your dreams. Hehe."

At the same time as I felt the ball make contact in the middle of my racket, Akane's sweet giggling abruptly stopped as she already focused her eyes on following the ball.

Woosh!

The ball crisply landed on her service box, but thanks to her positioning, she reached it on its bounce. She frowned because of the force behind it but she held on and returned it to my court.

Luckily for me, it was a lob shot and her control towards it was minimal.

Seeing it floating downwards slowly, the avenues on how to score against her opened up in front of my eyes.

The most ideal one was to smash it down before she could run up and defend against it. But would she have the endurance to withstand that?

As I waited down on the ground, I began the motion.

And sure enough, Akane hurriedly ran up as soon as she stabilized herself.

Unfortunately for her, if I have something I hold an advantage against her and Fuyu, it will be my stamina, speed, and strength.

Of course, distracting her was against the rule. But we were not in an official match. And Fuyu could only see me looking at my opponent.

And with that, with her mind shaken a little, Akane who still managed to return the ball back to me lost it when I managed to put in the pressure with her by erratically moving around the

court.

I relied on my speed on that. In a normal match, that wasn't endorsed since it could easily cause an injury on the ligament but well, I hadn't even sweated that much yet, much less used

my stamina.

Rumi's miraculous tea turned me into an inexhaustible bull while Akane not only tired herself out playing against Fuyu but there's also the lingering effect of our early morning exercise in

bed.

"Game. Ruki-kun!"

Fuyu confidently waved her hand as she called out the ruling.

Akane spent a few seconds standing in the court before returning to join us at the side.

And when she did, my silly wife jumped on my lap, causing Fuyu who was sitting next to me

and holding the water bottle to be startled.

"Hmph. I demand another kiss, husband."

"Will that boost your confidence?"

"Not only that. It's also my energizer. Husband, I have long discovered the existence of Ruki

Energy that Hiyori pioneered!"

What an adorable mess... I couldn't help but chuckle from hearing that. In any case, I didn't deny her of it. With my arms wrapping around her waist, I kissed Akane again.

Once that was done, I turned to the flabbergasted Fuyu and said, "I think I will also get a refill

of my Fuyu Energy. Will that be fine?"

"... You. What Fuyu Energy?"

With Akane left satisfied and now resting on my chest, Fuyu fumbled a bit but ultimately

closed her eyes.

Naturally, I made that up but upon hearing our conversation, she probably related it to that.

I extended my arm to Fuyu's slim waist and pulled her closer to me, "Thank you."

At the moment I finished whispering those words of gratitude, I kissed Fuyu the same way I

kissed Akane. Long and intimate...

What better way to prepare ourselves for the third game, right?
