"Whew."

Yuki Kataoka lay down in a chair and looked at the lights on the ceiling, relaxing her whole body.

This time, the game was far more than I imagined, not only the opponent was strong, but I was also under pressure to go to the whole country. But, it all ended at this time.

She was also very satisfied with her performance, and glanced at the tall player sitting on her right with a smug eye. I looked down on myself just now, but now I finally recognize the difference in strength, right?

Jun Inoue sighed slightly, he didn't play as well as usual. The rhythm of the east wind field was completely disrupted by the clear little man, and the south field was also in a chaotic battle with Ikeda Hana, but the opponent's fortune today was obviously better.

However, she was not worried. After all, it's just a vanguard battle. Even if there is a lot of lag in front, there are Touhua and Yi who can recover the score.

"Huh?"

At this time, she finally noticed Yuki's defiant eyes staring at her, her eyebrows twitched, and she suddenly asked, "Your name?" ”

"Yuki Kataoka."

"I remember."

Jun Inoue nodded to her, threw the cards he was playing into the shuffle slot, stood up and left the game room directly.

"Now, coach, how's it going? What do you think? ”

Yuki, who had just returned from the battle room, jumped up in front of Amano and squinted his eyes with a smile. Yuki, who won the TOP in the first battle, really got off to a good start for the game.

Looking at her waiting for compliments, Amano couldn't help but smile and praised, "Yuki, your performance is very good. Whether it's the offense and adventure of the east wind field, or the defense and stability of the south wind field, they are all done according to what I taught you. ”

"Uh-huh~~"

Yuki looked very happy, and her eyes smiled like a crescent moon.

And Amano didn't mention anything about Yuki Toichiba not forcibly attacking Jun Inoue, who had already been exposed, according to his own requirements at the beginning. Sometimes, it is necessary to make mistakes, because only painful memories are more profound.

Of course, Amano doesn't really think that these girls who are still high school students can completely follow the habits of their profession, and these require the accumulation of experience. There is still a period of time before the national competition, and using this gap should also improve the mahjong skills of the girls a lot.

"Yuki, well done."

Hisashi Takei praised at the right time, and then asked his friend who was sitting on the sofa: "Mako, it's your turn for the next game, are you ready?" ”

"Well, look at me."

Mako Someya got up from the couch and helped her glasses. There seems to be a flash of light through the lenses, and this year's she is definitely a new look compared to last year.

Before she left, Amano thought for a moment and said, "Mako, let's observe the first two sets first." In this way, you will know what kind of cards to use. ”

"Zhilu Dao, coach~"

Faced with his reminder, Mako smiled and nodded, accepting it all. Because, she originally planned to do this. Your ability to memorize the game should also be combined with the opponent's card skills, fortune, and habits. It is also necessary to observe carefully for a few rounds before taking off the glasses.

"Then, I'll go~"

"Someya-senpai, please come on!"

Yuki, who was in a good mood, was trying to cheer her on, and Mako smiled and beckoned, and went to the game room.

“Zzz……”

At this time, Amano heard the cute snoring of a young girl. Looking in the direction of the sound, I don't know when Miyanaga Saki was already asleep on the sofa.

No wonder, I haven't heard her speak, and it turns out that Yuki closed her eyes and dreamed halfway through the game.

"Looks like I'm tired, and I think there's still seven hours left in Saki's turn. By the way, there's a lounge, why don't you take a break? ”

Looking at the unsuspecting sleeping face of the literary girl Saki for a long time, he couldn't help but sneer, and said to Haramura Kazu, who also looked half-closed and his eyes were not very good.

"No, my words, it's fine......"

And blushing shook his head.

"A good rest is the only way to have a good game. Then, do you want me to take you there, or do you want the coach to ......"

As soon as Takei Hisashi was halfway through his words, Haramura, who heard [Coach] twice, stood up from the sofa in shock, and hurriedly said: "No need, I also know how to get to the lounge, so I won't trouble the minister." ”

She shook Saki's thin shoulders and whispered, "Saki, wake up, I'll catch a cold here, go sleep in the lounge." ”

"Quack."

Saki was confused and took his hand and led him to the lounge.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

In the game room, Mako Someya observes her opponent.

In the first two sentences, she didn't choose to attack, just played cards as plain as water. She felt a hint of luck, as the coach said, it was very useful to hold on at first.

Tomoki Sawamura, who has black smooth straight hair and wears thick glasses, has played against each other twice in the individual competition last year, and it is also a data stream, so he knows the opponent's style of play very well.

And Ji Liuweichun, who has short white hair at Fengyue Women's High School, also has good finch power and is Fengyue's third strongest player.

It wasn't these two people who surprised her.,It's Kaori Tsuruga's sister of Tsuruga School Park.。 She never thought that a player of such a level would come to participate in the finals of the county competition and be a starter!

Either the other party's level is far beyond his own understanding, or the other party's strength is really too bad to look at directly.

The beginning of the two consecutive points of the sister tail Kaori obviously belongs to the latter,As a beginner, she,Playing cards is still stuck in a pile of cards,Finally keep chattering about two pairs,Three in a group。

Luckily, I got the coach's card for beginners. ’

Thinking of this, Mako couldn't help but laugh.

But, then, her face flushed slightly. Because, when she thought of the video and card game that Amano gave herself about the novice at that time, she didn't pay much attention to it at all, and even a little disdainful.

Touching the cards in her hand, Mako slowly took off her glasses with her right hand.

With her glasses off, she looks noticeably cuter. The bright eyes reveal confidence, such a hand.

10,000:2679; Tube: 145 (red) 68; Cord 28; North Central

The hand is ordinary, not very bad and not very good.

Mako, who took off her glasses, could only vaguely see the shape of the cards. However, it helps her recall similar cards in her head.

And as the game progressed, Mako's hand got better and better.

On the 14th round, Mako decided to take the lead in Riichi.

"Riichi!!"

The three ropes were beaten horizontally into the river of cards.

10,000:567; Tube 45 (red) 6; Cord: 225 (red) 6789; Draw: 47 cords

She studied the playing habits of the previous sister Yoshiori, and the other party put the cards in two piles together, and it was obvious that it was a pair of seven.

However, what made her care slightly was that she didn't know if Lu Dao was an illusion, and the other party had only played a [one tube].

"Well, a group of two, a group of two? Hey, or a bunch of three? ”

Kaori Meiwei meditated a little painfully, and kept pointing with her fingers. Unlike her dazzling blonde hair and lovely face, she is indeed a complete novice to mahjong.

Tomoki Sawamura, who was next to her, frowned, and had been listening to the next family muttering something from the beginning of the game, which made her feel upset when she liked to be quiet. So when playing cards, I also made a lot of mistakes.

'Wait, wait, two in a group, three in a pile, and it's a dyeing hand...... So, not good!! ’

Mako's thoughts followed her memory to a game that was once known as a legend, where a professional finch interacted with a newcomer who didn't know much about mahjong. An extremely rare card made by taking the opponent too lightly.
