Rainy Day Fun (Part 2)

"Spring! Next, Changeup!" After hitting several inside and outside corner balls, Oni-san spoke up.

"OK!" Koharu replied and began moving.

"Changeup?" Sendou looked completely baffled as well...

But he did not say anything, because Koharu's next actions would answer his question.

"Oh, Koharu!

Why are you walking to Oni-san's rear side?

And what do you mean, Changeup?" However, Sawamura could not hold back his curiosity.

In other words, my technique is still far behind his!!" Sendou said with a shrug.

"That's amazing!!!" Sawamura turned to Koharu and exclaimed
