Author's Notes: Second letter, from Ryoma to Shinji. The underlined text was originally struck out, but that option isn't here, so just pretend?


Ibu:

For future reference, never listen to a word that Fuji-sempai says. He lies. And don't tell him I said that either. He also has strange powers. America is…not Japan. That's all that can be said about it.

I know that you did not just seriously call me cute. Tennis is tennis. I can find challenging opponents, but I have to look for them. I guess…in a way, I do miss Japan, because of that.

You talk about Tachibana too much. It's disturbing. Quit it. If, for some reason, you bother to write again, don't talk about him unless it's connected with tennis. And tell him that it's rude to read over people's shoulders, and even ruder to read letters over someone's shoulder.

Che. Why am I writing back to you at all? Oh, yeah. 'Kassan is making me. This wasn't my choice.
