Previously on Softenni:

So we can go to camp,

we traveled into the mountains and then ended up at the home of Kurodama's Soft Tennis Club President,

Shidou Misaki-san.

It's more like a boot camp.

Then, on the second day...

I'm on a trip.

I'm on a trip.

Kotone-chan went missing, leaving us a note.

Why did Kotone-chan have to run off?

Run and keep running!

Game 9

For Now

Um... Misaki-san, where are we going?

You want to know where Kotone-chan went, right?

Don't worry, I'll definitely find her for you.

In here.

This is...!

See?

The whole mountain is surveyed from this monitoring room.

You see, the mountain is too large.

A single person can't oversee such a huge area alone.

I'm not boasting, but you won't find this kind of tech anywhere else.

Hey, are you listening?

Misaki-san, what are those red dots?

Ah, those.

Sensors throughout the mountain detect humans and display their positions.

By the way, this is where we are right now.

It even records all the image data.

Amazing! It can do even that!

Do you want to see?

Doesn't have to be from today either.

Really?

Well, let's see... Three nights ago...

An image from around here...

Weird.

Just now, for a moment...

Ah, this dot in a far off place

must be Kotone-chan!

It's possible. Let's have a look at the images from that place.

That's a pretty familiar silhouette.

But, it's hard to recognize it.

Let's pull up shots from other angles.

What the hell?

It's so blurry!

It does look a little like Kotone-chan.

Weird.

This was supposed to be shot by a high-speed camera.

Her feral instincts must've kept her from being captured on film.

Kotone-chan is really going all out.

T-That's...

Huh?

There's something else nearby.

Could it be...?

It really is Mishimaki-sensei!

Amazing. I've never seen the coach look so concerned.

He probably chased after Kotone when he found out about her.

That's good.

Well, everyone can calm down now, so let's have breakfast.

We'll practice afterwards.

Yeah.

Seriously, to make us worry like this...

Eli-chan, let's go.

Yes!

Damn it!

You didn't have to fondle right in front of me!

If it's like that, I might as well train nonstop while hiding in the mountains!

Whatever. They'll be sure to get along great now that I left.

Maybe they'll even go into Mishi's room...

And then... And then...

Love.

Heartbeat!

No!

Oh, no! Shit!

Mishi...

Man! What are you doing?!

Stop worrying everyone so much!

Don't let go, got it?

I'll think of a way...

You better think of a way!

L-Listen up, definitely don't let go.

I don't wanna!

Don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna!

Seriously, you're annoying.

I already said I'll be leaving.

Won't it be embarrassing if I go back now?

Isn't a one-day trip a vacation as well?

Stop talking! Let me go!

Kotone?

Mishi... Mishi, you don't have to mind me at all!

Just go have fun with Eli!

Have fun with Eli...

Could it be... Did you see everything yesterday?

I see, that's why...

But, if you want it badly, I can give it to you if you ask.

I understand, Kotone.

Then I'll let you experience the spice of an adult.

Although the stimulation might be too much.

W-Wait a minute, Mishi!

I might want it a lot,

but I haven't yet sorted out my emotions.

Peach Cider

Habanero Chili

Huh?

I didn't think you'd like HabaPe soda too.

You're pretty high maintenance.

Huh?

What?

I was thinking,

yesterday you weren't wearing anything under your yukata.

Isn't that how it's normally done?

I heard people didn't wear anything under traditional clothes in the past,

but not wearing anything while in a yukata is a bit...

I got it! It's because yesterday was humid!

Right! R-R-R-Right!

I understood it with just a bit of thinking now, didn't I?

I-I don't do well with humidity, so I wasn't wearing anything by mistake!

S-Saved. How close...

By the way, here's how she sleeps.

No!

The wall over there smiled at me!

How's that even possible?

Just an illusion, an illusion.

It was definitely smiling!

Anyway, why do we have to go through this cave?

It looked faster.

We ended up absolutely lost anyway, didn't we?!

It's all over!

We're gonna get butchered by the evil spirits in this cave!

Don't!

Placeholder

Save me!

What a troublesome princess.

No no no no no!

Mishi, what are you doing?

Aren't you afraid of the walls?

Just look at me all the time.

That way you won't see useless stuff, will you?

Mm, looking at you... all the time...

Huh, you're surprisingly heavy.

I-It's muscles, idiot!

All right. We'll let Mishimaki-sensei take care of Kotone-chan.

Let's have a bit of light practice.

Yes!

Wait a minute!

What is it, Sumino-chan?

Don't mention easy stuff like light practice.

How about an all-out match, national champion?

What? You want revenge for yesterday?

I can't have you looking down on me because of those games.

Not that I care, but you'll regret this.

Not bad indeed.

But, she hasn't yet laid her cards on the table.

Show me...

how strong a national champion is!

That's the ultimate trump card Sumino kept hidden for a real tournament!

Sure-kill: Moratorium Jet Fire!

Sure-kill?

If you dare call it "sure-kill," then it has to take out the opponent one hundred percent of the time.

Like this:

Sure-kill: Invisible Counter!

She returned it!

No, what really matters...

The ball disappeared?!

N-No way! What sort of trick is this?!

Damn it, what is it?

A cross? Or a spinning straight?

I-It was actually a direct hit!

Sumino-chan!

It's not a trick.

I just hit the ball so hard that the impact makes it fly slightly above light speed.

That's why it seems invisible to normal eyes.

Didn't I tell her she'll regret this?

S-She actually sent the opponent flying with her hit.

The fearsome Invisible Counter.

What we should talk about is the frightening power...

Invisible Counter.

Damn! I'll avenge Sumino!

Ten People, Ten Colors Strike!

Amamiya Style, Flower of the Sixteenth Night!

Forbidden Shot, Paparazzi Requiem!

Farewell!

Have a nice day!

Akadama Middle, Second Year:

Tsuchita Sachiko (14)

Okay. Seems like the Akadama people have been cleared out.

That's right.

Akadama Middle, Second Year:

Tsuchita Sachiko (14)

Have a nice day!

Huh? Someone flew by again.

Are they having some sort of human cannon contest?

No idea. I didn't hear about it.

Forget it.

What's important now is tennis.

I'm going to let everyone see how much I've powered up.

Let everyone see... But did you do any special training?

How have you powered up?

Right here.

Really? I don't see any power going up.

What?

I'm talking about the inside! Inside!

Are you guys still not ready?

Weird, we keep getting a tie.

Get ready quickly.

Your fate is to be sent flying anyway, so just come in whatever order.

F-Fate can be changed!

Show it to me with your skills!

Did you hear her?

We've stalled as much as we could. What do we do?

Misaki-san seems a little impatient.

There's no other way.

As the Club President, I will go first!

Chitose-san!

No, I have the least experience. I should go!

Eli-san too!

I'm the youngest seed anyway.

Even Kurusu-chan!

I-If that's how it is, I can't stay back!

Please let me go first!

Go ahead, go ahead.

Damn it, they got me!

Are you done yet? Come faster.

I'm so scared... How many miles will I fly?

If I'm unlucky, I might even die.

Why do you have to say such things?

Kurusu-chan.

You won't die.

I'll protect you.

Are you going to fight alongside me?!

Yay!

If Kurusu-chan is here, I'm saved!

K-K-Kurusu-sama, are you abandoning me?!

First, you must have confidence.

Even if you say so... She's just too strong!

Don't worry.

The barricade in your heart can be broken from the outside.

Come on.

Worldwide Jealousy Makeup.

Is this me?

I feel like I could seduce the masses!

Mm, that's the mood.

Sure-kill, Asience Moisture!

Just putting on that makeup made her much more agile.

She seems to be controlled by her fantasies.

Is this the so-called placebo effect?

I noticed during warming up.

These people are hard to get a grip on.

Even so...

I'm still far better!

Asuna-chan!

Are you all right?!

Wake up!

K-Kurusu-chan, should I open my legs even wider?

Like this?

If you overdo it, you'll look slutty.

I s-see.

Good. You seem to be full of energy.

Kurusu-chan, no matter how confident I am,

I still can't overcome this opponent.

Is there no way out?

There's no other way.

We must use our sure-kill.

We got one?

Abandon hope! No one can escape from my Invisible Counter!

Hokkaido San.

A giant salamander?!

If I hurt the giant salamander, I'll violate the endangered animals laws,

and become a juvenile delinquent!

That's our Kurusu-chan!

Now she won't have to worry about being hi...

Huh? If the target isn't Kurusu, that leaves...

Elimination.

Thought so!

Asuna-chan!

That is what happened to Akadama!

I see.

I was wondering why people keep flying around.

So this is what's going on.

Kotone-chan!

Mishi!

But that will end now!

I'll stop you. But...

G-G-Give me another ten minutes.

Anyway, is she really that powerful?

She's on another level altogether.

Then if I fight her...

Instant kill.

That so?

Instant kill...

Nothing about it then.

We'll play doubles against her for now.

Um... Those who haven't played yet are Eli-chan and...

Then it's up to... you, Eli.

Yes!

Watch this!

Did Kotone-chan power-up?

She didn't. She's just more excited than usual.

Maybe getting in touch with nature worked for her.

T-Touched by nature?!

That would definitely excite someone!

I estimate it won't last long.

It's only temporary.

A magic ball that can disappear?

But isn't it just a straight in the end?

Yes.

Then there's a way to counter it.

Um... I have always wondered about something.

What is it? Let's hear it.

Kotone... do you like Mishi?

W-Why'd you ask this kind of weird question out of the blue?!

If you don't concentrate on the game, we'll lose!

Eli-chan!

Hey, are you all right?!

Pull yourself together, Eli!

I...

I like Mishi.

I love him!

Seriously... She really got me with an absolute, total straight ball!

Then...

I must hit a straight back too!

I-I l-l-like... love too...

No-Not a bit less than you!

T-To Mishi, I'm...

Like—

Ah, Kotone-chan!

Thanks, Kotone.

Work hard, Chitose-san!

Save your energy!

Don't worry, this time I have a strategy.

That's why I'll definitely get a point—

She got blown away right after speaking!

Chitose-san!

How can you look around while fighting me?

No way! She actually caught the ball with her teeth!

Could it be that Chitose-san can see the ball?

No. I'll clue you in.

She might have hypnotized herself like this: "The ball is a daifuku bun, the ball is a daifuku bun."

Then she just let her gourmet instincts take care of the rest.

C-Can that even be done?

Watch.

There's your evidence.

She's chewing.

She's really chewing.

She's chewing.

Unsightly.

How long is she going to keep eating them?

She should play like a normal—

S-She got a point.

A point, Chitose-san!

She really got a point from Misaki-san!

Lets play tennis... please.

Thank you for the past three days.

Be careful on the way back.

Don't worry, that bear guy will bring us back.

I-I see, I'm relieved.

Then see you on the battlefield next time.

Before that, you must all become better.

Okay. Next time we'll get a point from you through real stren—

Why are you being so halfheartedly?

Kotone-chan.

It should be, "We'll win the next time!"

Right. The challenger needs to be fired up like this.

Otherwise, it isn't even worth crushing you.

All of you work hard!

That's what you're saying now?!

I'll definitely cut you down to size on the tournament court!

Bye!

And like that our camp ended.

We'll find out in the upcoming tournament

how much we have grown in these three days.

Win against me the next time we meet?

It'd be great, if that'd be possible.

However, the next time we meet,

you, who are filled with hope, will get to know what true despair is.

As the court will run crimson with your blood.

And, just what are you doing?

Um... Internal monologue?

Oh, really?

Hiratsuka Yura, skilled ventriloquist...

or not...

Into the black room with you!

But why?!

That should be your first priority.
