Chapter 60: Red Sign
On the second day of the Mafan Festival, it was 6:30 in the morning.
Venue for the finals, Ryugu Shrine -
"Good morning, Akino-san!"
In the morning light, someone appeared from the side of the steps, dressed in a mage robe, and greeted him in high spirits, and trotted over.
"Good morning, Mr. Najib. ”
"Wow, Mingna-san, you're so beautiful today, this is a ...... Kimono!?"
Someone in a cherry blossom-colored kimono, coupled with her perfect face, today's Konoe Akino's charm value, it's like riding a rocket, you can go to the sky!
Someone who was praised by Najib, she lowered her head a little shyly and a little happily, and said shyly: "Where, Teacher Najib's robe looks very cool......
"Oh!?really?, but I think it's pretty average......" Najib looked down at her outfit, then sighed and said, "Well, I was going to come here in casual clothes, but Kitty didn't let me, so I had to wear this to the game, so I could say that this would be more important, hehe, anyway, I don't know what she was thinking." With that, someone patted the hem of the robe, and then began to look around.
"What's wrong, Mr. Najib!?Who are you looking for??Kitty?"
"Oh no, Kitty said this contest was too childish so she didn't come, hey!
When Konoe nodded clearly, a ghostly figure appeared behind him.
"Yo, morning, Zaghi!"
"Hmmm......"
Konoe Akino moved his steps a little unnaturally, and pulled a little distance from someone and said with a dry smile: "Aha, it turned out to be Zaji, you're early." ”
"Hmm!"
Konoe Akino smiled awkwardly at this time, I don't know why, from the accent that answered herself, she seemed to be able to feel that someone's hostility towards her seemed to be aggravated again!?
"Hehe, Zaghi-chan is really ...... today It's different. ”
After a few glances at Zaji's appearance today, well, if you really want Najib to comment on something, ugly, he definitely won't say it, but if you want to say 'beautiful', it doesn't seem to have anything to do with someone.
Look at the oil makeup on someone's face, and the clown hat on the top, a pair of flat clown shoes on the feet, a set of jeans, and a string of colorful balloons pinned to the waistband behind him. Combined, I'm afraid the first image given to people is probably ...... This man must have come out of the circus!
"Well, that's good! This outfit is really unique, it's quite suitable for you, Yo Zaji!" someone gave a thumbs up, and with a clear conscience, he said something that made people laugh and cry.
It is said that the IQ of a woman in love is reduced, and someone's encouragement actually made Zaji bow her head shyly! Then, she took out a circus ticket from her jeans pocket and handed it to someone.
"Thank you...... I've got a show in the afternoon, do you want to come and see it!?"
"Go, of course, there's a free show to watch, and if you don't go, isn't it a brain drain?" ”
Najib happily took the ticket, casually glanced at it a few times, and put it in the mezzanine inside the robe. Suddenly, he noticed that Zaji seemed to be giving him a ticket to the circus alone, so he asked, "Uh...... Zaji, just one!?What about Mingnai's share?"
Konoe Akino waved his hand a little embarrassed at this time and said, "No, no, no, I don't need to, really, I have other things to deal with in the afternoon, and I don't have time to watch the show, so I understand the kindness, hehe." ”
"Well, I didn't plan to give you a ticket......
Although someone turned his head and spoke in a small voice, the two people opposite could still hear it clearly...... So, it's awkward.
"Uh, Mingno-san...... Did you offend her somewhere!?"
"No, I don't think it's weird!?"
Looking at the two who turned their backs and whispered, Zaji looked at them with empty eyes, and a thick black mist slowly rose behind him......
Maybe they noticed someone's blackened aura, and the two who were still whispering instantly widened the distance between them and each other. Then, in order to ease the awkward atmosphere between the two daughters, Najib took out a handful of strange-tasting lollipops from his pocket.
"Hehe, do you want to eat Zaji!? Take whatever flavor you like, although some kinds of flavors are quite weird, but they are all delicious!"
"Well, then you're welcome......"
After saying that, someone picked a few out at random. Seeing this, Najib still had a smile on his face, but then, he wanted to die...... Someone gave him back the lollipops he had picked out, and then put the dozen or so lollipops he had picked out in his hand and put them all in his pants pocket.
"Heh, hehe, it's good if you're happy...... It's good to be happy......"
Looking at Zaji who was eating lollipops there, someone wanted to cry without tears, those were his three meals today!
"Forget it, I'm going to play, anyway...... I'm going to decide on the five million for the champion!!"
Looking at someone who turned grief and anger into strength, Konoe Akino on the side, she didn't know how to comfort him. Someone thought about it and felt that it was better for him to smile and not speak......
So, the next process is simple, and at seven o'clock, the finalists start to enter.
Walking through the main entrance of Ryugu Shrine and passing through the corridor through the open space of the preliminaries in the front yard, Najib and his party soon arrived at the shrine's worship hall, where the finalists' backstage lounge was located. In addition, the stage for today's finals is in the backyard of the shrine, which is a square stage with a length and width of 15 meters built on the artificial lake of Mabanra.
"Not bad! I didn't think it was so spacious...... Uh, spacious!?What about the other race guys!?"
In the worship hall, looking at the emptiness, even if you add the scene where he and Konoe Akino are only four people, Naji is dumbfounded.
"Don't worry, it's just the four of us who will start the finals today, and no one else will disturb our ......"
As soon as Konoe Akino saw someone sitting quietly in the room, her temper suddenly rose.
"Humph!"
Someone had a cold face, didn't say anything, walked to the side and sat down quietly, put the knife case across his lap and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
"Uh...... By the way, what is this!?"
At this moment, an idiot can smell a room full of gunpowder. Naji looked at Konoe Akino in the recuperation with a confused expression, and then turned his head to look at the other side, but at this moment, Naji suddenly left the place in an instant, and the next second, a hand that grabbed his heavenly spirit with a bruised tendon suddenly fell short.
"That's good, stinky little ghost, I didn't expect you to be quite fast. ”
"Hey, thanks for the compliment, I don't know what my brother is looking for me!?"
smiled mischievously, someone didn't know that the anger in Wing Chun's heart at this moment had burned all night!
"Hehe, what's the matter? You dare to ask me...... What's the matter!?"
Wing Chun covered his face, lowered his head, shook his shoulders, and sneered and said, "Because of you, it's because of you, it's all because of you!!"
Speaking of the end, someone began to roar angrily: "I have obviously planned this October perfectly! First I will cancel the engagement, then I will travel to England for a few days, and finally I will go to the 'door' to travel to another world, but it is because of you! My journey, my beautiful life, all in vain!!"
"I first lost my luggage, and then I was forced by a group of female college students to drink a cup of coffee that cost tens of thousands of yuan to death, and when I came back to my senses and found that my knife was missing again, when I realized that it might have been picked up by you, I spent five days wasting my time here, just to find you!!"
"You know, something that could have been perfectly resolved through negotiation is because of you! Just because you gave my knife to that woman and gave her my handle!!Now, not only did I miss the opening time of the 'door' and couldn't go to that world, but I also spent tens of thousands of dollars more in this ghost place for no reason, and I was misunderstood even more, and most importantly, I haven't gotten my Yunagi back yet!!
Someone's grief is really like the Yellow River overflowing, out of control. So, full of grief and indignation, someone started playing cat and mouse with Najib......
"Stop me, stinky little ghost!!"
"Ahaha, although I'm a little sorry, but I can't blame all the things that happened to you, your knife obviously fell by accident by yourself, I helped you pick it up, and you haven't said thank you yet. ”
With a single step under his feet, Wing Chun's excited eyes turned black and white, and he looked very scary and said, "Hehe, thank you!?
"Wow, how can your eyes change color, it's amazing!"
Looking at someone jumping up and down, while avoiding his own pursuit, he could easily tease with himself, Wing Chun couldn't help but be a little shocked in his heart.
"Hmph! I'm a bit capable, but ...... If that's all you have, stinky little ghost, then I'm going to beat your ass today!!
"Wow, wow, wow, you can actually use your palm knife to slash, four eyes, your strength is good!"
As he spoke, someone stepped on the void and easily turned over and dodged the attack.
"Four...... Four-Eyed ...... Who do you say is four-eyed, bastard!! eat me with a knife!
Someone who was stimulated and almost blew up his lungs, and finally, he wasn't going to play anymore, so he pulled out his knife!
"Stop!!"
With a bang, Konoe Akino, who came first, also drew her sword at the same time the moment when someone drew her sword, and rushed over in an instant.
"Uh......"
Looking at the lovely person who suddenly appeared in front of him, Wing Chun was almost suffocated by her beauty for a while!
"That...... Players are asked not to use real knives as a race weapon, as it is ...... to do so. Violation, violation of the ......"
I don't know when a certain host appeared outside the door of the worship hall, he looked at the scene inside with the smell of gunpowder, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to walk into the threshold casually......
"I know the rules of the game, it's not a real knife, it's just a wooden knife. ”
In order to clarify, the two who were slowly separating, Wing Chun put away his wooden knife, and Konoe Mingno also slowly untied the knife box and took out the wooden knife placed inside.
A certain host saw that the atmosphere had eased slightly, so he had the courage to walk in.
"Ahem, that, because the time for the finals is almost here, and all the players are ...... Now that we're done, I'll start with a brief introduction to the two groups and rules for the finals. ”
"I'm sorry, but there are only a few of us in the final? Didn't you say there were sixteen of us?"
Najib asked curiously.
A host looked at Wing Chun who was pushing his glasses not far away, and then wiped his cold sweat and said: "Hehe, yes, because in the preliminaries yesterday, the Wing Chun players alone beat all the other more than 100 players, so today only the four of you will play the finals......"
"Oh! Awesome! One person singled out more than a hundred, uh-huh! This level can almost catch up with me, I think about it, my highest record is a person who beat over...... Well, it seems that there were five martial arts clubs that time, and there were probably about five or six hundred people, hehehehe!"
"Uh...... Oh, yes, Najib is really good. ”
A certain host no longer continued to dwell on that topic, and after a brushstroke, he began to briefly talk about the rules of the finals.
"That, that's right, because now there are only four of you, so it's still a lottery to decide who is the opponent and whom, the rules are already very simple, or those two, in addition, there are a few points in the finals, please pay attention, as long as you fall to the ground for ten seconds, fall out of the field for ten seconds, faint, surrender, you will lose, above......!
After speaking, a host took out a small bamboo tube from his arms, and four sticks were placed in the bamboo tube.
Najib was the first to step forward and pulled out a stick from the bamboo tube, and the head of the stick was red.
Subsequently, Konoe Akino drew lots, and it was blue.
The third person to draw lots is...... Mizue Kazami!
"Ahh
"Hehe, yes, I was standing there just now, didn't you all pay attention?"
Looking at someone who hadn't appeared for a long time, Naji and Konoe shook their heads in unison.
"Alas...... Well, forget it, who makes me feel less presence. ”
After speaking, Kazami Ruihui drew lots, yes...... Blue.
"Yay, Xiao Ming, we're a group!"
"Uh...... Sister Ruihui, you may not have understood the rules of the game, the color of the lottery is not in a group, but the opponent of the game......"
Feng saw Ruihui stunned for a moment, and then laughed cutely: "Eh, whatever! Then Xiao Mingnai has to let me when the time comes, I'm weak." ”
Konoe Mingno was in no mood to care about other things at this time, she was now staring at the last stick in the bamboo tube with a pair of eyes, and there was no doubt that Wing Chun pulled it out and saw that it was a red stick......
At this moment, Wing Chun smiled happily.
At this moment, Najib smiled helplessly.
