Reincarnated as the Legitimate Son of a Duke Family's ~ Just Trying To Live Live My Life Normally, But Somehow I've Got a Harem?~ - Chapter 18 : Youth!

Chapter 18 : Youth!

…No, it was just a pure coincidence.

Relaxing my body and tense muscles I became more conscious of my surroundings.

“Ugh—!! One more time!”

“Yeah, sure.”

Once again, the ball approached me at a high speed, and I consciously hit it back with precision!

Huh?… Come to think of it… Did I hit it back faster than before?

“A… Rising shot?!”

“Huh… can he really use those tough shots so easily?”

Rise shot is a move where you return the ball the moment it enters your side of the court, if my memory serves right.

I remember seeing that in Prince of Tennis or something like that, my memory is still vague.

Well, in a way, I’m like a prince, so it’s not wrong!… Not that it matters.

“Grr… That’s not fair! You’ve been secretly practicing somewhere, haven’t you!”

“No, I haven’t been doing anything like that. Besides, if I had that kind of free time, I’d be sleeping.”

“But… I’ve been practicing for years… Ugh, this hurts my pride as a princess…”

Uh-oh, that’s not good.

Come to think of it, Serena was always fiercely competitive.

When we were kids, she used to challenge me at games a lot.

…Now that I think about it, Serena was probably the only one who played with me.

Kaera hadn’t been with me during that time, and it was before I got to know Thor.

By the time I was aware of things, we were already engaged, and we used to play a lot together back when we were still kids.

My little sister was just born… Looking back, maybe having Serena around made me not feel so lonely.

“Geez, you’re still as competitive as ever.”

“Ugh, shut up!”

“Come on, let’s continue. We’ll keep going until you are satisfied.”

“…Really?”

“Yeah, just like in the old days.”

“…Okay!”

Saying that, she chuckled like a child.

At that moment, her expressions resembled an ordinary, cute girl.

For a while after that, we continued the rally with some adjustments…

Now that I have some breathing room, it seems I’m losing in a different sense.

“Hehe~, what’s wrong? Your performance seems to be fading.”

“W-Well…”

“Guess it was because you were lacking in stamina after all? You’ll need to practice from now on.”

“…Hahaha, I know I have to work on my stamina.”

Indeed, I hardly have any stamina left.

But there’s something even more troubling… and that is her massive b***s.

Because I had the luxury of being able to return the shots easily, I had a good view of my opponent.

With each swing that Serena made as she moved from side to side, her b*****s bounced and jiggled.

Naturally, being a healthy sixteen-year-old boy, I couldn’t help but… well, bend forward a bit to take a closer look at the alluring sight.

“Alright…. There is the final shot!”

“Whoa?!….. I lost.”

“I did it! I finally won!”

“You’re still persistent, huh?”

“Fufu~, but you weren’t holding back, were you?”

“No, I wasn’t holding back. That much is true.”

This time again, I wasn’t lying.

It’s just that her jiggling b*****s made it hard to concentrate.

Perhaps sensing this scene and to protect the dignity of our kingdom’s princess, the girls had ushered the guys away from the court.

So, I was the only one watching this scene… How lucky of me!

“Really? Well, if that’s the case…”

“More importantly, it’s been a while since we played like this. It felt like we were back in those days.”

“You still remember it?”

“Well, after playing with you so much…”

“But we stopped doing that a long time ago.”

Ultimately, things got complicated because I became more and more aimless afterward…

Now that I think about it, I do owe Serena a lot.

…Can’t be helped, maybe I should repay her now.

“Well then, I’ll try to drop by once in a while from now on. Well, with the permission of the club president who’s right in front of me.”

“T-That means…?”

“And the rest depends on Merle-san…. I’m tired, so I’m gonna take some rest now.”

“Hey! …Are you already leaving?”

Leaving those words behind, I head over to where Merle-san was.

“Merle-san, don’t worry, you can do it too.”

“Yes! It looks like so much fun!”

“That’s good to hear. Well, I might try joining the club occasionally, so if the club president here is okay with that.”

“For now, I’ll give it a shot.”

Saying that, she grabbed her racket and dashed off.

“Master, welcome back.”

“Haah… Seriously, when was the last time I moved this much?”

“Hehe~, isn’t it nice to do it once in a while?”

“Well… yeah, it’s good for my body.”

Not caring about getting dirty, I laid down on the grass.

The sky above was clear, and a pleasant breeze was blowing with a pleasant smell of nature.

Yeah, this kinda feels like youth… Enjoying it once in a while, it’s not a bad thing.
