Episode 75 - The Section Chief Who Leapt Through Time (Part 3)

My Telekinetic Office Lady Girlfriend Is Way Too Powerful!


【Section Chief Ryoko Aims for the Ace!】

The early summer sunlight gently bathed the tennis courts of the campus.

A soft breeze rustled the young leaves of the trees. The sky, clear without a single cloud, seemed to welcome the dramatic match about to unfold.

Students gathered to watch, murmuring with excitement as their eyes followed the two players.

On one side of the court stood Aki, dressed in a crisp white tennis outfit. She had already been swinging her racket repeatedly, clearly well-prepared. Her sun-kissed skin and trained posture gave off the aura of a true professional.

On the opposite baseline stood—Ryoko.

She wore a vibrant navy tennis skirt and a white tank top with mint green lines. The breezy yet elegant design looked like something out of a brand ad.

Her bangs were held back with a headband, and her long hair was tied into a low ponytail. A glint of polish sparkled on her nails as she gripped her racket.

(I’ve never played sports before… but at least I’ve got the look down! Well, I’ll manage somehow ♡)

Ryoko surveyed the court with a smile, but in her eyes gleamed a hunter’s sharp focus.

“Well then… Shall we begin, Miss Tachibana?♡”

The whistle blew to start the match. Aki stepped into serve position without hesitation. She bounced the ball lightly and unleashed the first serve in a graceful motion.

With a whoosh, the sharp serve pierced Ryoko’s court.

“—!”

Caught off guard, Ryoko barely moved, letting the ball fly past her.

“15–0.”

Cheers rose from the stands. Aki sent Ryoko a playful wink.

“You okay? Everyone gets nervous at the start.♪”

“…Yes, I’m fine.♡”

Ryoko adjusted her grip and wiped away a cold sweat.

(She’s the real deal. This won’t be easy.)

In the following points, Aki’s skillful rallies overwhelmed Ryoko. She barely managed to connect her racket with the ball.

(Ugh… I can’t read her movements at all… And this match is for Shota…)

Sweat trickled down her forehead, but her face showed no signs of giving up.

(It’s not over yet.)

Still, the score progressed mercilessly. Aki held match point.

“40–0, match point!”

The murmuring crowd grew louder. Ryoko bent over, hands on her knees, catching her breath.

(At this rate… why did I even come here?)

Just then, Shota ran over to retrieve a stray ball near the edge of the court.

“Miss Takahashi, here’s the ball…”

When Ryoko looked up, she found Shota’s eyes staring straight into hers.

“…Miss Takahashi, good luck.”

For a moment, the court fell silent, as if the wind had stopped.

(Shota-kun… even though he doesn’t remember… those eyes…)

Ryoko accepted the ball, smiled gently, and pulled Shota into a tight embrace.

“Thank you, Shota-kun♡ Even if you forgot, it’s okay. I’ll make sure you remember.”

“…This hug feels familiar… Like I’ve… Ryoko-senpai!?”

Ryoko’s Counterattack】

Ryoko stood tall once more.

“Miss Tachibana, the real match starts now♡”

Then, in the very next moment—

The ball soared into the air.

Ryoko’s gaze, as she swung her racket, had changed completely. No longer desperate—it was razor-sharp.

Her serve shot through the air in an unexpected arc and slammed into the court.

“An ace…!?”

The crowd buzzed.

(Hehe ♡ I’ve kept my telekinesis sealed… but just this once, I’ll allow a little cheat♡)

Next point. The rally continued. Aki now looked clearly cautious.

“That serve just now… What the heck? That spin was unreal…”

Ryoko returned each shot effortlessly, smiling inwardly.

(Fufufu ♡ I’m adding a little ‘love twist’ to the ball using my telekinesis♡)

The crowd stirred again at the bizarre ball movement.

Then—another ace.

“40–15.”

“40–30.”

“Deuce!”

The atmosphere shifted. Aki looked flustered. Ryoko wore a calm, confident smile.

(Watch me, Shota-kun. I’ll prove that your future wife—right here in this memory—is your one and only real girlfriend♡)

Then came match point.

Ryoko’s serve shot forward like a bullet. Aki returned it sharply. The rally continued, eyes fixed on the court.

Ryoko sliced the ball and rushed the net. Aki, scrambling, barely returned the ball with a perfect lob over Ryoko’s head.

_(Back to deuce,) Aki thought, confident she’d earned the point.

But Ryoko was already floating ten feet in the air—waiting.

Aki: “What!?”

Then Ryoko unleashed her telekinesis-enhanced full-power swing for the final blow.

DOOOOOM!!

The ball smashed into the baseline at top-pro-level first serve speed, bounced high, and flew outside the court.

The audience, the umpire, even Aki froze, stunned.

But on the clay court where the ball had landed… a deep, raw crater remained.

“…G-Game set!!” The umpire’s dry voice echoed across the court.

Then—

“No way… she was floating…”

Aki, stunned, lowered her racket and stared at Ryoko, her face twisted in fear.

Ryoko wiped her sweat and smiled triumphantly.

“Sorry♡ The only one allowed to remain in Shota-kun’s memories… is me.”

Shota ran to her.

“Ryoko-senpai, why didn’t you contact me? I’ve been searching for you all this time!”

Ryoko narrowed her eyes and whispered playfully in his ear:

“Fufu♡ Good boy, Shota-kun. You’re still mine… So let’s head back to the present—punishment confirmed♡

In that instant—

The world blurred and faded.

【When Shota opened his eyes again, 】
he was back in their apartment, being cuddled by Ryoko on the sofa.

“Welcome back, Shota-kun♡”

Back in reality, Shota stared at Ryoko, speechless.

(That was… a dream, right?)

Ryoko smiled and gently kissed his forehead.

“Okay, Shota-kun, pop quiz. When you were in your third year of college, who was your girlfriend?♡”

“Huh? What the—? I feel like it was you, Ryoko-senpai, not Tachibana-senpai!”

“Nfu~ ♡ Perfect answer. But really, how long did you date Tachibana-san?”

“I was totally under my sister’s control growing up. When she left for Australia, I felt so lonely that I dated Tachibana-senpai… but her control just wasn’t enough, so we broke up quickly.”

“…So Shota-kun was already ‘trained’ by Yumi. As expected from my bestie Yumi-chan! Don’t worry, Shota-kun—I’ve properly inherited you♡”

—Ryoko then hugged him tightly, full of satisfaction.

\The End/
