In the indoor court of Tennis Club, Tenraku and Rias were facing off against Abe Kiyome and her Demonic Being.
“There are four of us, Rias-San, so why don’t you go and find two more companions as well?” Abe Kiyome said with a confident face as she once again changed into a short outfit for sports.
If it’s a competition of magic and fighting then she’s definitely no match for Rias and Tenraku, but if it’s a tennis match then she’s not afraid of anyone!
“I will call Akeno and Koneko over.”
“Don’t bother, Rias.” Tenraku snapped his fingers, and several clouds of water appeared in the air, then coalesced to form Undine Queen’s figure.
“Elf Undine of Water…”
“No, this aura is Undine’s Queen!~”
Recognizing Undine Queen’s identity, Abe Kiyome couldn’t help but look shocked.
“As expected of Tenraku-San, Undine’s Queen is actually your Familiar.” Abe Kiyome sighed and said as she tried to calm herself down.
Even the ordinary Undine is already a rare Demonic Being, not to mention Undine’s Queen, this level of Familiar is rare even in their Abe family!
“Kiyome-San has already let her Familiar participate in the battle, so I’ll let my own Familiar come out and have some fun, you have no problem with that, right?” Tenraku said with a light smile on his face.
“Since Undine’s Queen is Tenraku-San’s Familiar then naturally, it’s fine, but even so you’re still one short.”
While she admits to being surprised by Tenraku’s familiar, Abe Kiyome is still confident on her side, as tennis doesn’t always get better with more power.
Originally, Tenraku intended to let Rias summon her Familiar, but Rias’ Familiar had been sent out by her to do other things. In desperation, Tenraku could only look at Undine Queen again:
“Undine.”
“Yes, Master.” Tenraku shouted, and the Undine Queen immediately complied.
Several streams of water separated from the floating belt behind the Undine Queen and then transformed into another Undine Queen which looked exactly the same.
Using water and Magic Power to make a clone of her is a breeze for Undine Queen.
“Kiyome-San, is it all right now?”
“Hm, although it would be considered as cheating, but I guess you guys pass.”
“Now I will explain the instructions for the competition, using the rule of 4 vs 4 two out of three games, one doubles and two singles. There is no restriction except that the use of Magic is forbidden in the competition, do you understand?”
The rules were very simple, and both Rias and Tenraku nodded their heads to indicate that they had no problems.
“Then, let’s start now.”
“The first game, Christie, you go!” A successful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth as Abe Kiyome sent out her first player.
Thump Thump Thump…
“Roar!!!”
The snow-colored gorilla with a bow tie stepped onto the court, looking a bit timid at first, but as soon as she picked up the huge racket, she seemed to burn up with confidence.
Christie is said to be a kind of Demonic Being called Yuki-Onna, and also a female among Yuki-Onna, but how she looks is far from the Yuki-Onna Tenraku had imagined. ……
“I’ll take the first game.” Rias walked onto the court while swinging the racket to find the right feel.
“Wow …… Rias-san is on for the first game?”
“Christie, let that Devil Princess have a good look at your power!”
“Hohoho…” At the order of her master, the Yuki-Onna gorilla responded loudly, then flung the ball up and made a flapping motion.
She obviously looks so clumsy, but her movements are quite skillful. Presumably, Abe Kiyome has trained her Familiars.
The moment the tennis ball was hit by the huge racket, the ball, which was originally the size of a fist, turned into a head-sized puck and shot towards Rias’ half of the court with a hiss like a cannonball.
Boom!!!
“What……” Rias was caught off guard and a loud bang was heard on the court as a layer of ice-blue mist suddenly filled the entire stadium.
If it hadn’t been for the ground that had been strengthened by Magic in advance, I’m afraid that this blow would have been enough to smash half of the stadium where Rias was located!
“Hey, Kiyome-san, your Familiar fouled, right?”
“Ohhhhhhh …… The rules only forbid the use of Magic, but Christie’s freezing is her natural ability, so it’s not considered a foul.” Tenraku protested loudly, while Abe Kiyome smiled treacherously.
Well, Tenraku has nothing to say to that, according to the opponent’s statement, it is indeed not a foul!
“So I was set up right from the start ……”
“But that’s not enough to beat me!” With a flash of color in her beautiful eyes, Rias also tossed the ball into the air and smashed it.
Even though she couldn’t use Magic, as a pure-blooded superior Devil, Rias’ physical strength alone was no worse than these Demonic Being’s!
Boom! Boom! ! Hōng Hōng Hōng! ! !
It doesn’t look like a tennis match anymore. The little tennis ball is like a cannonball being shot around by Rias and Yuki-Onna gorilla. The whole court was filled with the sound of Hōng Hōng Hōng.
Finally, with a powerful smash from Rias, the Yuki-Onna was hit in the head by the reflected tennis ball and fell to the ground with a dazed look on her face.
“Christie, are you okay?”
“Wū Wū Wū……”
“Damn Rias, you have won this round!”
“Hē Hē Hē, Ok then.” Under Abe Kiyome’s gritted teeth, the first game ended with Rias’ victory.
“Hābi, come on!”
In the second game, Abe Kiyome sent two other Familiars of her own, a winged girl named Hābi and a snake girl from the Lamian clan.
“Undine, you guys go too.” The second game was a double and Tenraku also sent out the Undine Queen and her clone.
“Yes, Master.”
In response, the Undine Queen and her clone walked onto the court together.
“Even Undine’s Queen is fearless.”
“Be sure to dedicate the victory to Kiyome-Sama!” They are all loyal Familiars and the winged girl named Hābi and the snake girl of the Lamiya clan both had determined expressions on their faces.
This time the duel was finally not as violent as the previous one, and Tenraku was looking forward to it.
As his Familiar, the Undine Queen is excellent in every aspect, and Tenraku trusts her very much. As long as they win this game, they will have the chance to win.
However–
“Master, I lost.” It didn’t take long for the Undine Queen to return to Tenraku with an ashamed look on her face.
If it was a competition of Magic or other aspects, the Undine Queen could have crushed the two Familiar girls with one hand tied behind her back, but because the competition was Tennis, the Undine Queen was crushed by the two Familiar girls!
No matter how strong she is, she doesn’t even understand the most basic rules of the game, and she hit his ball on her own court several times…
“It’s not your fault, it’s all my fault, I didn’t think about it.” Tenraku slapped his forehead, while Rias and Abe Kiyome were holding their stomachs and tears were almost coming out of their eyes because of laughing.
The Undine Queen’s clumsy skills are so fun to watch!
Letting Undine attach herself back to his body, Tenraku also picked up her racket and walked onto the court.
Now it’s one win, one loss, so he’ll finish this last game!
