Chapter 16: Regional Qualifiers (3)
- The next day
Sub-regional arenas
A deafening exclamation caused Echizen and Ebi, who were sitting next to them, who were drinking Fanta, and the minister who was resting, to get out of their minds.
"What? Persimmon Junior High School lost? No way, they were the runners-up last year!. Momojo screamed in surprise.
Eiko blinked
It turned out that it was the news that had just been brought by the end of the year that surprised Momojo.
However, Fudo Peak was able to defeat Kakiki, the seeded team that was the runner-up last year, which is very strong.
"Yes, it's true." Tezuka spoke leisurely beside him.
Then he added, "I think Ah Gan should go to investigate." ”
Sure enough, after a while, I saw Ah Qian come to everyone with a notebook
"I went to investigate the Fudo Peak competition, they are completely different from last year's Fudo Peak, the main players are all newcomers, except for the third-year minister, the others are all second-year, the key to their victory lies in that great leader, their minister Tachibana Tachibana."
After hearing the investigation of the senior Qian, he expressed his question: "Last year? Did something happen to them before? ”
"As far as I know, since the violent incident in Fudomine, Minister Tachibana Tachibana has formed a new tennis club, and from then on, every member of the team has a goal and a belief." Ei turned her head to look at Fuji, who had just been listening to the next door, and suddenly agreed.
Hearing Fuji's added information, Eiji's brows tightened slightly, and he saw that Echizen, who was also drinking Fanta, had a flat and helpless face when he heard the news.
This guy is really as tsundere as ever.
"Anyway, with Qingxue, I won't lose to the kind of player who has violent incidents and has no name, and it's ......" Horio covered his mouth halfway through speaking.
"What, I said...... Yes...... Fudo Peak. ”
Just in the middle of Horio's speech, Tachibana of Fudomine came over with the team.
"Is Tezuka, the minister of Seigaku?"
"Yes."
"I'm the Minister of Fudo Peak, Tachibana Tachibana, let's wait for a good fight." After speaking, the two shook hands with each other.
"Hmm"
……
Ben's tense and serious atmosphere is broken by a lively female voice: "Hey, the little fox meets again!" ”
I saw that a girl with an apricot-colored doll-headed head suddenly jumped out behind the minister of Fudo Peak, and waved at Eiko.
"Ah, it's you Xiaoxing" Eri saw the familiar figure, and subconsciously beckoned to her.
His gaze echoed around Tachibana Yoshihei standing in front of her and her.
I searched silently in my heart
Tachibana Apricot, Tachibana Yoshihei... Originally...
In an instant, it dawned on the civet, "It turns out that you are the sister of Minister Tachibana." ”
Xiao Xing smiled and nodded.
Then his eyes drifted to the two people next to the painted fox, raised his eyebrows and said hello, "Hey, you two are too!" ”
Momojo, who heard the familiar voice, looked at the small and cute orange apricot in front of him, and scratched his head a little embarrassed.
"Huh? Xiao Xing turned out to be you! ”
And Echizen just glanced in the direction of Tachibana when he heard the words, and he didn't make any other moves.
"Huh?" Kikumaru watched the three of them interact with Tachibana, like a cat discovering something new, and his vision echoed back and forth among the four of them.
After a short time of observation, Kikumaru spit out boringly, "What, it turns out that you know each other." ”
"Then that's the end of the greetings, we'll see you in the arena" Tachibana Yoshihei saw that the time was almost up, and said to the opponent mosa.
Tezuka responded with a serious face, "We'll see"
Immediately afterwards, Tachibana Yoshihei left with the team members behind him.
"Huh? Why is there only six members of the team, and there are two more? ”
Looking at the six Fudo Peak members following behind Tachibana, Eiko questioned and questioned, but at this moment, she saw the other two members wearing the Fudo Peak uniform in front of the vending machine not far away, one red and one purple, with their eyes closed, juggling the ball with the edge of the racket.
"Fudo Peak is so strong, it has such good technology." Katsuro also saw this scene and spit out such a sentence from his mouth.
"Huh? Echizen? ”
Suddenly, Echizen saw Echizen running there at some point, walked straight between the two of them, and went straight to the vending machine to buy another bottle of Fanta, and then learned how to use the edge of their rackets to drink Fanta while flapping the tennis ball.
"What, it's very simple!" Provocative words also spat out of his mouth.
"This guy is really!" Seeing this, Eiko got up and ran over.
The two members of Fudo Peak were slightly stunned when they saw Echizen, who suddenly passed between them easily and imitated their juggling ball, then frowned slightly and stopped what they were doing.
"You guy, the game is about to start, and you're still running around." Eri gasped and stopped beside Echizen, then pulled the corner of his coat and walked towards the playing field, "Let's go!" ”
Hearing a familiar voice in front of him, Echizen stopped what he was doing, glanced at the fox who was a head shorter than him and was still pulling the corner of his clothes, and followed her without saying a word.
While pulling Echizen to walk, Ei Lifu didn't forget to turn around and apologize to the two behind him, "I'm sorry for that!" ”
In this way, the two members of Fudo Peak looked at the tanuki who was drifting away, and the two of them left.
"Hey, Fukaji was so familiar with that girl just now, I seem to have seen it somewhere." I saw that the red-haired young man suddenly said this.
The red-haired boy's words fell, and the boy named Fukaji on the side watched the back of the fox and slowly spit out
"I think too"
……
