He Sheng didn't really have much interest in kite competitions. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

To be precise, he has the soul of an otaku and is not interested in all outdoor sports, unless you forcibly classify 'field' as an outdoor sport.

He would propose to go to a kite race, but it was just boring.

After all, this is not the world it used to be, and even if you return to the ship, there are no graphic novels, anime and movies for you to entertain, and there are just a group of hideous-looking strong pirates, who shout 'Pudding Daxian, boundless mana' when they see you.

And in order to store enough magnetism, they had to stay here for three days, but the situation in Alabastan was unclear.

If he had been on the boat and had done nothing, He Sheng estimated that he might have been worried about whether he would be late and have trouble sleeping.

So it's better to just walk around and relax.

Mochi's translator conveyed Ho Sheng's meaning, and the bar owner's daughter readily agreed to take Ho Sheng and them to see the kite competition.

The bar owner's daughter's name is Leia, a very boyish girl, and she is not afraid of life, and when she walks with He Sheng and his party, she chatters non-stop and seems extremely enthusiastic.

During this period, he expressed envy for Yarrita's good figure many times, and asked if there was any trick.

used to be a fat woman, relying on eating 'slippery fruits', and instantly counterattacked overnight, Yarrita, who became a big beauty, said that she was born beautiful and had no tricks.

"......" He Sheng.

Born beautiful and a ghost......

Soon after, under the leadership of Leia, He Sheng and the others finally arrived at the scene of the kite competition.

As soon as they arrived, a mountain of commotion rushed towards He Sheng and them.

The kite competition is far more lively than He Sheng imagined.

In front of us, there is a clearing surrounded by a guardrail, and in the open space is a group of young people holding kite strings and looking up at the sky.

They are not very old, the oldest is seventeen or eighteen years old, and the younger one is only eleven or twelve years old.

Their eyes are fixed on the sky flying kites, and the kite strings in their hands are flying and retracting, as if they are carrying out some very important operation.

Outside the guardrail were crowded spectators, who were excited and kept shouting and cheering.

It's just a kite competition, how did such a fierce atmosphere come about? He Sheng looked surprised.

"This way, this way." At this time, Leia beckoned, walked in front and said, "We have to stand in a fixed audience position according to the rules." ”

Squeezed through the surging crowd and came to what Leia called the 'audience position', listening to the shouts of the audience next to her.

Yarrita, who is not interested in kite competitions, can't help but be curious.

"Leia." Jarrita asked, "Why are you so fanatical about kite competitions?" ”

"Because the kite symbolizes our soul." Leia grinned.

"Huh?" Yarrita and the others looked at each other with a puzzled expression.

"It's actually a custom on our island." Lea leaned against the guardrail, looked at the fierce competition inside, and said, "What the origin is, no one knows anymore. In conclusion, kite flying is a very serious matter in our opinion. The kite symbolizes the soul, so flying a kite means flying your own soul. The soul, which is separated from the body, soars freely in the sky, washing itself of filth with the breath of nature and making itself a better person. ”

"Really? It turns out that there is such an allegory. Al Rita was surprised: "Then why is there a kite competition?" At the end of the day, what are you comparing? Whose kite flies higher? ”

"No, it's not. It's a little more brutal than you think. Leia stretched out her index finger and said, "The person flying the kite represents the body, and the kite represents the soul, so what does the kite string that connects the two represent?" ”

Without waiting for Arrita to respond, Lhea asked herself again, "It's will." The will connects the body and the soul, and the stronger the will, the less likely it is to break. And the rule of kite competition is to find a way to cut someone else's kite string with your own kite string. ”

In other words, a kite race is a race of will. Able to cut the kite strings of all enemies, the winner who survives is also the strongest-willed man on the entire island. That's a great honor. After Leia finished speaking, she pointed ahead again, there was a seat, it was obviously not an ordinary audience seat, there were tables and chairs, and there were people serving beside it, obviously a special seat for leaders.

Leia is one of the middle-aged women, and said, "She is the leader of our kite island, Chelsea, and the champion of the kite competition in previous years!" ”

"It's always unreliable to rely on competition kites to determine the strength ......of your will," Jarrita said with a strange expression, "And if the kite represents the soul, isn't it too much to cut someone else's kite string?" ”

"yes. So everybody will have a partner. Leia pointed into the arena and said, "Look, there are a lot of people in there who don't have kite strings." Most of them are friends and relatives of the contestants, and once the kite string is cut, they will rush out to retrieve the kite, symbolizing the return of the soul. ”

"Oh......" Arrita nodded.

Mochi, on the other hand, put his hands on his chest and pouted, "What a troublesome and inexplicable rule." ”

"Well, in the eyes of you outsiders, maybe so. But we're very important. Leia said.

"Meow!" At this time, He Sheng, who had been listening to the conversation between the three of them, suddenly screamed, and he stretched out his paw and pointed at a girl with a ponytail in the playing field, and asked questions.

The girl...... It seems that there is no partner.

After Mochi translated He Sheng's words, Leia's expression suddenly changed, revealing a slight look of disdain and disgust.

"Because no one wants to be her partner." Leia sneered, "But I don't think she cares about these things." ”

He Sheng turned his head and looked at Leia in surprise, not quite understanding why her attitude had suddenly changed so much.

The ponytail girl...... What the hell is going on?

And as time progressed, the kite competition became more and more intense, and kites continued to be cut and flew away. The number of teenagers and girls left in the stadium is decreasing.

In the end, there were only two people left on the field.

One was a young and strong boy, and the other was the pony-tailed girl.

In the sky, a well-made coiled eagle kite hovers overhead, and below it is a much more rudimentary yellow diamond-shaped kite.

The owner of the Coiled Eagle kite is a boy, I saw that he looked nervous, his forehead continued to sweat, he kept adjusting the position, retracting the kite string, so that the Coiled Eagle kite was always above the diamond-shaped kite, as if looking for an opportunity.

The pony-tailed girl seemed much calmer, her expression was indifferent, and her big black eyes were fixed on the kite.

Suddenly, she whispered, "The wind is coming." ”

The next moment, she suddenly flown the kite string, and the diamond-shaped kite suddenly rose at a very fast speed, and the kite string that was quickly pulled out made a gurgling sound.

The rapid release caused the kite to spin, and it spiraled upward, closing in on the coiled eagle kite, and then quickly wrapped around it.

The kite strings of the two kites are tightly intertwined.

"Ahh The boy screamed.

The moment of decisive battle suddenly came.

Most of the audience held their breath.

A middle-aged woman, suspected to be the mother of a boy, shouted cheers with extreme excitement.

At this moment, the boy felt that his heart was beating violently, as if he was about to burst through his chest and jump out.

There is only one step left before the final. The hope of realizing your dreams is at hand.

He also followed the kite string in a hurry, but his hand trembled too much compared to the ponytail girl's steady hand.

It's okay. The boy said in his heart: My kite is specially made, the kite string is also specially made, and the quality is many times higher than hers, and I have no reason to lose this kind of grappling!

The two kites were quickly raised by the strong wind, and the intertwined kite strings were constantly rubbing, and everyone was staring at the thin kite strings, waiting for the defeat of one side.

The will of both sides...... Fighting!

Suddenly, the ponytail girl stopped releasing the line, the diamond-shaped kite stopped climbing, and the coiled eagle kite continued to rise, rise, until it flew past the diamond-shaped kite and continued to fly upwards.

The boy stared blankly at his kite, and as soon as the diamond-shaped kite stopped climbing, he heard a 'jump' sound, and the string of the kite in his hand, which was stretched straight, broke abruptly.

He lost.

The ponytail girl slowly retracted the kite string, and according to the island custom, as the winner, she should let go of the kite string and let the kite fly away, so that her partner around her would have a chance to perform, which also meant that she had the ability to control her will.

But she doesn't have a partner by her side now, so she can't do this kind of thing.

At this moment, although the pony-tailed girl's face is calm and calm, her heart is diametrically opposite.

She breathed a sigh of relief and thought, "Ah...... I almost lost, so dangerous.

But at this moment, she suddenly heard a sound of footsteps approaching, and she turned her head in surprise to see the defeated boy rushing towards him with a hideous face.
