"Higashino-san, let me introduce you, this is Tsuyoshi Kikuchi, a third-year ...... in the Faculty of Engineering."

"Hello, Kikuchi-senpai. ”

"Again, this is Yutai Yamanaka, who is also a senior and is from the Faculty of Agriculture like me. ”

"Hello, Principal Yama. ”

"Over here, this guy as tall as Higashino-san, he is Kazuma Hanoi, a junior this year, and he is from the Department of Economics. ”

"Hello ......"

The race walking department on the Eastern Continent finally got all the people, and Sho Asano, as the minister, began to introduce Higashino Qiang.

In other words, until now, Higashino Qiang has not really expressed his intention to join this department, but Sho Asano is still very enthusiastic about making introductions.

Including Sho Asano, a total of nine people, they are:

Tsuyoshi Kikuchi is a third-year architect in the Faculty of Engineering.

Yutai Yamanaka, fourth year in the Faculty of Agriculture.

Kazuma Hanoi, third year in the Faculty of Economics.

Takafumi Umehara is a second-year student in the Faculty of Agriculture.

Hosokawa Tai, third year of the Faculty of Law.

Kyosuke Ichihara, third year of architecture, Faculty of Engineering.

An Dongchuang is in the second year of the Faculty of Literature.

Arima Kazuhei, second year of the Faculty of Literature.

These nine people have their own characteristics, but to Higashinoqiang's great surprise, there are no blacks in this land race walking department of Tokyo University, which is the so-called foreign students.

You know, when you look at Hakone Ekiden, you will have a very intuitive feeling that there are so many black people in Japan.

Many blacks, all of whom are international students, participate in this competition.

It can't be helped, some schools will do this in order to get good grades.

After all, this is allowed by the rules, and in terms of long-distance running, Japan's strength is indeed very strong, but compared to some countries in Africa, it is still slightly worse.

The level of long-distance running in Japan is really very high, and it seems that people in this country like this kind of long-distance competition, but there are some people of color who are really talented.

Now, the situation of the race walking department on the East Continent makes Dong Ye Qiang slightly satisfied.

He really didn't discriminate or anything, but he just felt that since this Hakone Ekiden has college students as the main contestants, then, there are a lot of black people, although these blacks are indeed college students, but seriously, who still doesn't understand in their hearts?

Many of them are internationally renowned long-distance runners.

It's like cheating.

In fact, the level of competition in Hakone Ekiden is already very, very high, and there is data for this high.

Basically, there are some university teams that can play in this competition, ten people, and the record score of 10,000 meters is within 30 minutes.

There are even whole teams that are under 30 minutes.

Anyone who knows the sport of running will know that such a result is terrifying.

So...

"I don't seem to be up to par right now. Higashino finally made a statement.

This is indeed a reality.

However, Sho Asano is extremely confident, "In terms of the quality of Higashino, there is no difficulty at all, as long as the 5km runs for 17 minutes, I believe that as long as a little training, Higashino can pass the record race, and then he can participate in the qualifiers." ”

When he spoke, his eyes were incomparably clear and bright.

The other eight people also looked at Higashino Qiang with an extremely expectant gaze.

That's right, it's really hard to form a team of 10 people at a school like Tokyo.

Asano Xuan pulled Higashino Qiang at this time, "Saikyo, you still refuse, brother, he just doesn't give up, I'm sorry for causing you trouble." ”

After all, everyone used to be classmates, and Asano Xuan actually admired Higashino Qiang very much, but he also knew that his classmates were more mavericks.

The misfit Higashino.

However, there is a guy who has been dancing there for a long time.

"Saikyo! Please! Try it! This is Hakone Ekiden! This is a dream event for college students all over Japan! Saikyo, I really envy you, you can be admitted to Tokyo University, and you have the opportunity to participate in such an event, such a life, I will cry! If I can play in Hakone Ekiden, it would be good just to appear, the name of Higashino's strongest will definitely be even more legendary! Kigo Sensei will definitely be even more legendary!"

Mr. Keigo was afraid that Higashino would refuse, and he was already in a state of begging.

Hakone Ekiden, this event is really incomparable for Japanese university students.

And Mr. Keigo himself was not admitted to university, and university was a pity for him, and Hakone Ekiden was an unattainable dream, and even Mr. Keigo felt that it was already a dream to be able to cheer for the players on the spot in this event.

Now, Higashino has the opportunity to be a part of it, even if it is possible to fail, but this experience is really ...... That's great!

So, what will happen to Higashino?

He took a good look at Sho Asano, and then at Asano Xuan, and eight other people.

"You really can't find anyone else?"

The other ten people present looked at each other.

"Higashino-san, it's approaching the competition now. ”

"If everyone else's words, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the record race. ”

"Help, please. ”

Seeing this, Higashino Qiang couldn't help laughing, "Then, I'm ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Sho Asano said directly, "Higashino-san is our savior!"

Sure enough, a running idiot really said anything,

But, is that a promise?

"Well, since everyone is so enthusiastic, I can participate, but it's not up to me to decide whether the results are good or bad. In addition, I have one condition, if I can't do it, then I can only say goodbye. ”

Grades are not the point in the first place, but what is the matter with this condition?

"It will definitely be done!" Sho Asano is really crisp enough.

Perhaps, a hot-blooded character like him, that's it.

Others were a little worried, especially Asano Xuan, as an old classmate, he knew how powerful Saikyo was.

But I heard Dong Yeqiang say: "The condition is very simple, ten people are only considered to have just met the number of people, this is not good, there must be a backup, this is not wrong, right." Okay, then, my condition is to find two back-ups, these two people, I hope to be the ones who deliver the news to Asano-senpai, understand?"

Deliver a message...... It should be the guy who betrayed Higashino Qiang who is very good at running.

THAT CONDITION ...

"Please rest assured!"

Sho Asano is confident.

......

Night.

I ran back to Roppongi from the cultural bath, and after taking a shower, Higashino was refreshed and still holding his coffee to watch the night view of Tokyo.

"Saikyo! Great! I knew you were a gentle fellow, listen to me, absolutely yes, trust me......"

"Mr. Keigo, please understand one thing, that is, to participate in Hakone Ekiden, this is what I want to participate in, not the result of your persuasion, understand?"

"Huh?"

"Still don't understand?"

"Could it be that you kid Saikyo have thought about it early in the morning?"

"Mr. Keigo, what you said is very good, if life can be so colorful and there is such an opportunity, why should I miss it?"

"But......" Mr. Keigo originally wanted to take credit, but where did he think that the truth turned out to be like this, "You kid, then why do you have to put on such a show?"

yes, that's so unpleasant.

Faced with Mr. Keigo's complaint, Higashino laughed.

"Haven't you ever wondered who is behind this?"

"This ......" Mr. Keigo also understood, "there must be someone who is saying bad things about you behind your back, or simply not bad words, but using Sho Asano as a runner, the purpose is probably to make you have a conflict with Sho Asano, or, if you agree to join the race walking club, then, this running is also a very hard sport, so, you guessed, so you hit back with it, and even clearly said 'two people', you can be sure that it is two." ”

Higashino Qiang smiled: "I guess it's Fumiha Omatsu and Yuki Nishimura." ”

"Haha...... How did you guess that?"

"It's very simple, apart from the two of them, I can't think of anyone else I have a conflict with in Todari. ”

"Yes, yes, it must be the two of them!but, saikyo, do you think they'll say yes?"

Mr. Keigo laughed and couldn't help but admire Higashino's mind.

"They will definitely agree, if they refuse, then, the two of them are the enemies of the nine Togashi presidents, so that everyone loses the last chance of Hakone Ekiden, will the life of Omatsu and Nishimura be better?" Higashino Qiang smiled and took a sip of coffee.

"Hahaha...... Great! I can't help but want to see the bitter faces of both of them!" Mr. Keigo was in a good mood, but he still said, "I think that Omatsu is okay, and he is very kind to you." ”

"Isn't it true that Mr. Keigo is in danger of such a talent?"

Mr. Keigo laughed again.

In fact, Higashino Qiang's reasoning is very simple, but it can also be seen from this aspect that his life at Todai is a little too unsociable, and he is not involved in many of the school.

This Hakone Ekiden, Higashino Qiang found it very interesting.

If you can participate in such an event, you can't really make an appearance, but you can say a word.

This university is not in vain.

Higashino Qiang originally thought that his college life was over early, but now it seems that the excitement is about to begin.

But even more crucially...

Higashino Qiang drank all his coffee and took out the manuscript paper and pen.

"Saikyo, I'm going to write again, right?"

"Of course, but this time, I wanted to write a new work. ”

"Wow haha! I'm finally going to write a new work, it's the "New Participant", right? ”

Mr. Keigo is looking forward to it.

However, Higashino Qiang shook his head, "Mr. Keigo, in fact, it is good to participate in the race walking club this time and be able to participate in Hakone Ekiden, as you said, my life is more colorful." But, at the same time, I had an inspiration. ”

"What inspiration?" said Mr. Keigo's eyes lit up.

Higashino Qiang thought for a moment and said: "It's very simple, the "New Participant" mentioned before, after all, is the work of the middle and late stages of the Kaga Kyoichiro series, and I'm a little unwilling to write it directly. Now, what if Kyoichiro Kaga came to Hakone Ekiden as a 'new participant'?"

"This ......," Mr. Keigo thought for a moment, and only felt that the ghost was shocked, "Great! In other words, Kaga will make an appearance as a college student! Moreover, for the sake of the attack on Lake Ashi on Mt. Hakone, this must be ......"

Higashino Qiang interrupted directly, complained slightly, and said: "According to your Mr. Keigo's style, it must be in this game, Mo someone died, and the murderer was so-and-so, or, ten or twenty years later, so-and-so died, and the truth is in this Hakone post story." ”

This...

"Hahaha......" Mr. Keigo laughed and was overjoyed, "You kid, you're talking about my "Magic Ball". ”

Well, about the sports genre, this work that almost won an award is such a routine.

Higashino Qiang also smiled and said, "This time, let's write about life, how about it?"

"Life ......" Mr. Keigo smiled, "This running is life, right?" ”

Higashino nodded, and then started writing.

"There is a secret to winning Hakone Ekiden.

Just keep your left foot and your right foot, step by step, and you're good to go.

......”

This is the beginning of the new "New Participant".
