Shitenhoji's new captain Shiraishi faces an unexpected crisis: the tennis club needs fresh recruits to survive. When the members spot potential in Zaizen, they scheme to win him over through increasingly absurd attempts at humor. Their desperation clashes with his indifference, creating an awkward comedy of errors that reveals just how far they'll go to keep their club breathing. Across town at Seigaku, ghost stories circulate through the third-year students like urban legends. Momoshiro gleefully shares these tales with Ryoma, but the reactions from the older players hint at something darker beneath the surface. When Fuji finally breaks his silence about an incident from two years prior, the atmosphere shifts entirely. What began as campfire gossip transforms into a genuine mystery, one that connects multiple threads from the team's past. These two narrative threads explore what happens when young athletes face obstacles beyond match scores. Recruitment struggles and unresolved history become the real opponents here.
