Being runner-up in Brisbane wasn't exactly the start to the season I had planned, but I can't complain. Australia is still stupidly hot and I feel like I've gone through more sunscreen than tennis balls. And now I feel like Renji is doing scheming about a sunscreen company sponsorship.

Mika and my mom had to head home after Brisbane since my sister starts up school again soon, but mom already agreed that she'd figure out a way to get Mika out of classes so they can come to Paris. I told her that I could talk to the administration. Would they really say no to a former student who won more than a couple of National tennis titles and is also a professional tennis player? I doubt it.

Australia has been great for art. I've done a number of sketches and gotten plenty of use out of my travel watercolor kit. I sent one of the sketchbooks back with my mom so she could drop it off at university for me.

Congratulations on runner-up. That is a great start to the season. Do you have one of those handheld fans that spritz you with a light spray of water? That could help.

You are undoubtedly one of Rikkai's greatest treasures. I would think that they would excuse your sister's absence. Perhaps in exchange you could visit their current tennis team.

That's an excellent idea. I'll have to see if they're sold here.

You're full of good ideas, Tachibana. I'll pitch visiting the team and see where that gets me.

If not, I can pick one up the next time I'm out, and keep it for you until you're home.

I'm here to help. That sounds great. You could have a reunion since all of you are still in touch.
