Chapter XXVIII: Before the Final of the County Qualifiers
In this case, the first game of the semifinals of the prefectural qualifiers will be over! The winner is Kamimatsu Middle School! So let's look forward to the final results of the other three races! The four schools that won the morning contest in the end. The final of www.biquge.info the prefectural qualifiers will start at 12:00 p.m. ”
After the game at Kamimatsu Middle School, the live female commentator explained the arrangements for the afternoon.
This year's prefectural qualifiers have only 16 teams and are counted as two rounds. So the official decision was made to settle everything in one day without any delay -- which is a lot faster than the high school league where it takes a full two days to solve the county qualifiers.
The first is the early timing of the opening match - in fact, when the opening game was played, most of the pioneers of the 16th School, with the exception of Kokurayama Keiro, who lives in Nagano City, where the tournament venue is located, went into battle on an empty stomach. Many of them came to Nagano City on the first train. (PS: As you can see from the animation's mobile phone, the gathering time before Kiyosumi's first day of competition is almost 5:20am.) And that day also had to count the pre-match time such as the draw and media interviews, so this is the time to cut it here. Straight to the early hours of the morning. )
The first round of the county qualifiers in the morning, one and a half villages per person for each of the 5 positions. However, there is only a 5-minute break between the two positions. This makes the pace very tight. If there is only one and a half bankers per person, the first round of the game can be finished before 11 o'clock under normal circumstances.
After the end of the first round and until 12:00, the players are officially given lunch and rest. Then came the second round in the afternoon, the final of the prefectural qualifiers.
The final starts at 12:00, and under normal circumstances, each player plays two half-banks, and the players have a five-minute break between the two half-banks. And the time for the alternation is only five minutes – also a very tense rhythm.
But even so, according to the normal game time, the battle of the generals would probably end very late. So at this time, you can choose whether to go back on your own or choose to stay in the official student dormitory for one night (self-set).
By the way, it is worth mentioning. In fact, in the afternoon finals, the hardest people will probably be the live commentators - unlike the finch commentators, who are relatively free and can rest or eat at any time; In addition to the short meal/toilet time that can be replaced by a substitute commentary; You have to sit honestly in the commentary room and do your work.
"Wow, except for that pitiful break, I have to spend the whole half day on that chair!" These are the original words of Fei Renqi, who couldn't help but express sympathy after knowing the situation his partner was about to face. Although it is true that there will be subsidies or rewards from the authorities. But it's a lot of work.
―――――――――――――――――― dividing line
On the other side, after the battle of the generals, Shue and Xilu went to the player preparation room prepared for them (one of the top four finals) under the arrangement of the staff. After arriving at the designated location, Xilu asked her teammates, "Do you mind eating early now"; And after getting a reply that everyone didn't mind, she took out her mobile phone and made a call to her family. Then, forty minutes later, she received a phone call.
After putting down her phone, she said to Xilu, "Shue, let's go and get a bento." ”
"Hmm."
―――――――――――――― dividing line
Walking in the corridor with Shue, Xilu glanced at her and suddenly said, "Shue, it feels really special to walk in the middle of the venue." ”
"Huh?" After hearing Xilu's words, Shue was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Although I don't know if you think the special place is the same as mine...... But I also think it's really special. ”
Xilu smiled slightly, then took Shuhua's hand, and then said softly, "You know, Shuhua?" The difference between this year and last year is that this year I came here with the belief that I will win and the goal of definitely qualifying. So I'm going to be a lot more nervous than last year, I'm going to be more afraid of making mistakes than I was last year – but because of you, I'm a lot more confident and happier. Every time I sit at the mahjong table and press the dice, I always think that there are my important, trusted companions and best friends behind me cheering me on. So I was able to give my full attention to the game. ”
Shue held Xilu's hand a little harder, but he didn't speak.
The two of them walked all the way to the door and went back with a lunch box for five people.
―――――――――――――― dividing line
"Alas...... So how did it come to this? Looking at the quietly pillow on his lap, his eyes closed, his smile was calm and pleasant, and there was a hint of shyness on his face. Shuhua felt that he was definitely not stupid, and his brain was a little insufficient.
Hmm, although the face of this little girl looks really cute...... Oh no! Let's think about it for a moment. Shue shook his head and sensed distracting thoughts out of his mind.
"Hmm~~ After the meal, the walk is over! It's time to take a break. After eating, in order to digest the food in her stomach, Xilu went out for a short walk alone. And when she came back from the walk, she said that she wanted to close her eyes and pretend to sleep.
After all, it will be the vanguard battle after a while, so of course she said that she wants to take a break. It's just that there is not much time left until the start of the race. So she didn't choose to go to the players' lounge to rest. Instead, I chose the sofa in the preparation room.
On the other hand, Nana Tsukinomiya and Shinshi, who are the second strikers and backbones, are in good spirits, and they say that they don't need to rest. As a lieutenant, Asakawa consciously went to the players' lounge to rest.
Speaking of which, the mental state of the five people in Shangsong Academy is actually quite good. After all, you are a local, so as long as you go to bed early, you don't have to get up too early to get a good night's sleep. It's just that there are at least a few hours left before the deputy general's game, so she chooses to sleep to ensure her energy.
As for Shue, she still has a lot of time to play now, and she doesn't have to rest so soon.
And then......
Shue looked at Xilu who was quietly pillowed on his lap and sighed lightly again.
Where did this little girl learn, such a powerful ability to be coquettish and cute!
The reason why things are the way they are is is simple. It was Xilu who suddenly had an idea, looked at Shuhua sitting on the edge of the bench, and wanted her to give her a knee pillow. And then the request was made.
Shue was stunned, and then suddenly thought of the pair of CPs of Qianli Mountain's Meng Shen and Long Hua. So I felt a little embarrassed, and then politely declined.
And then......
"Eh~~But I really want to give it a try~~ I haven't tried such a feeling since I was born. And you should be accommodating me in order to fulfill my wishes. Facing the bright and shiny eyes of the dawn and looking directly at him with anticipation, Shuhua chose to admit defeat.
So Xilu smiled very cutely, and then lay down with her eyes closed with a hint of shyness. And the number of paintings was a little dazzling by the last smile of the dew. So when she came back to her senses, Xilu was already lying down.
(Alas.) If I haven't ever felt like this since I was born, I am actually the same...... But the feeling of giving people a knee pillow is not bad. Not...... Dawn is really cute. Gently stroking Xilu's long black hair, Shue thought. Then she also leaned her upper body against the back of the sofa.
