"Escaped my control?"
Mitsuya frowned, surprised that Muneyoshi had managed to break free of his manipulation.
"Still, data doesn't lie. I've already gathered enough data. At worst, I'll just build a new model..."
Unable to understand the reason, he had only felt his heart tremble for an instant in the darkness just now.
He merely became somewhat vigilant and did not truly believe that his data had become invalid.

Smack... smack... smack...
After lightly pressing the tennis ball a few times, Muneyoshi raised his brown eyes,
