A few days after returning to school, the training of the Lingnan team continued, and Coach Taoka focused on the tactical practice under strong confrontation, especially paying attention to the tactical drills of different lineups. It seems that he is determined to bring the rotation to the national competition.

On the last day of July, Coach Kooka gave everyone a day off to rest and prepare for the next day's journey.

On the morning of the 31st, Hikoichi slept comfortably and didn't get up until lunchtime.

"Huh?" Hikoichi, who opened the door to forage for food, heard a noise from the kitchen, and wondered: It's a working day, why is there someone at home?

"Sister? How are you at home? Opening the kitchen door, Hikoichi saw Yayoi's busy back.

"Got up? Come and help! Yayoi was in a hurry, and when she saw Hikoichi, she immediately found a savior.

"Hikoichi is helpless, how can Yayoi cook, it is estimated that the rice will not be cooked.

"I'll do it anyway." Hikoichi took the spatula from Yayoi's hand and decided to take matters into his own hands to make sure there was food to eat at noon.

After a while, the two finally ate.

"Why didn't you go to work today?" Hikonichi took a bite of his meal and asked the question that Yayoi hadn't answered just now.

"Like you, come back and pack your bags." Yayoi's tone was cheerful.

"Packing? Are you going too? Hikoichi reacted immediately.

"That's right, the editorial department sent me to follow up and cover the whole process of the national competition! So, I'm going to Hiroshima tomorrow too! By the way, where do you stay in a hostel? Yayoi asked with interest.

"What do you want to do?" Hikoi was alert.

"I'm booking the same hostel as you!" Of course, "In addition to covering the competition, as an older sister, I also have the responsibility of taking care of my younger brother!" ”

"Care? The corners of Yan Yi's mouth twitched, he couldn't cook the rice, I think it was to facilitate the interview with Xiandao, right?

Unable to withstand Yayoi's entanglement, Hikoichi still told Yayoi about the hostel, and Yayoi wrote it down with satisfaction.

"By the way, did you read the schedule? Is the opponent strong? Yayoi suddenly thought of this crucial question.

"Coach Taoka hasn't talked to us about the grouping yet." Hikoichi continued to eat.

"Huh? But the results of the grouping have been announced a few days ago? "Yayoi is strange.

"The coach said that being strong is the last word." Hikoichi didn't care much about who his opponent was, "By the way, did your previous manuscript be published?" ”

"Hmmm! I was also called to the office by the editor-in-chief," said Yayoi, "and the editor-in-chief, although he looked fierce, was actually a reasonable person. Also, I know that he used to be a basketball player too, so I must be hoping that Kanagawa will do well in the national tournament! ”

Thinking of the content of Yayoi's article, Hikoichi felt the pressure double.

"By the way, are you okay in the afternoon? Accompany me to the streets. ”

"Shopping?! No, I'm going to rest at home! Hikoi was startled and quickly refused.

"No! Last time I accompanied you to buy shoes, this time you will accompany me too. Yayoi glared at Hikoichi.

If I'm not mistaken, it seems, it seems, last time, it seems, it should be you who are going to buy shoes with me, right?! Hikoichi felt bitter.

------------------------------------------------

On the morning of August 1, the Ryonan team gathered at the station and took the Shinkansen to Hiroshima.

"Huh? Little white face! ”

Yan, who was waiting for the car in a daze, heard a ghost shouting and woke up, and then he was helpless, it seems that this nickname can't be taken off, no, you must bask in the sun when you go back!

Everyone looked at it, and it was Xiangbei, and it was Sakuragi who rushed to the front.

"Hello Coach Anzai!" Coach Taoka hurriedly said hello.

"Oh hehehe, Coach Taoka, hello." Coach Anthy smiled and waved.

"Hey! ~" Sendo greeted Rukawa Kaede with a smile.

"I got a cold face from Rukawa Kaede.

"Haha, Xiandao, how did it feel to lose at the hands of my genius Sakuragi last time?" Sakuragi came up laughing arrogantly at this time.

Xiandao could only smile helplessly.

"Bang!"

"Bastard, shut up!" On the road to the national competition, Akagi's "Iron Fist of Love" is also full of energy, but he feels sorry for Sakuragi, and the bag on his head seems to be bigger than usual.

"Hmph, Akagi, we'll take revenge at the national competition!" Uozi looked at Akagi solemnly.

"See you in the semifinals then!" Teams from the same region will not meet until at least the semi-finals.

The two teams got on the bus, and they were actually in the same carriage, with the Lingnan team in front and the Xiangbei team in the back.

The two teams didn't communicate much and sat quietly in their seats.

"What?!! What's going on! Hikochi was closing his eyes when he suddenly heard an exclamation from Akagi behind him.

What's wrong with this, making the always steady Akagi so out of shape?

As soon as Yan turned around, the Xiangbei team was gathering together, holding a book in their hands.

"I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! Mu Mu quickly apologized to the passengers around him, disturbing everyone's rest. However, his apology was drowned out by the sound of the train announcing the station.

"Shin-Osaka has arrived! Shin-Osaka has arrived! ”

When the sound of the newspaper station ended, Hikoichi heard Akagi's voice again, and although it had been deliberately suppressed, it was still heard very clearly.

"How did we end up in a group with the King of the Mountain! And, the second one is coming?! Akagi was a little emotional.

Although Akagi's goal has always been to dominate the country, Akagi is a little overwhelmed when the mountain king actually appears in front of him. Moreover, in his imagination, the plot should be that the two teams overcame all the way and finally met in the finals, how could they meet so early!

Looking at the schedule? At this time, Yanyi also heard what Xiangbei was doing.

The Lingnan team has not looked at the schedule so far, but they are still a little different from Xiangbei. Coach Anzay deliberately concealed it after reading the matchup table, so as not to let the players watch it too early, so as not to affect the training due to too much pressure.

"If you defeat the King of the Mountain, behind it is Aihe Academy, last year's semi-finals, and it is also a strong team!" Mitsui's face was also a little solemn.

Hikoyi turned his head to look at the Xiangbei team to discuss the schedule, and he also wanted to watch it first.

Listen to what they have to say

At this moment, Hikoichi saw a somewhat familiar back figure walking towards the wooden curtain standing on his back.

He put it on the shoulder of the wooden curtain: "Hey, you have been discussing the Mountain King and Aihe, do you think that Fengyu is just a team that does not enter the stream?" ”

It's Kishimoto! Hikoichi heard the voice!

Before the words fell, Kishimoto's arm hooking the shoulder of the wooden curtain directly strangled the neck of the wooden curtain!

“？！” Mumu grabbed Kishimoto's arm with both hands and struggled.

"You're Xiangbei, right?" Kishimoto obviously knew about the battle table, and not only did he not let go, but he worked harder!

"Hey! Kishimoto, what are you doing! Don't stop yet! A middle-aged man shouted anxiously, it was Fengyu's coach.

"Humph!" The coach's words didn't work very well, Kishimoto snorted coldly and wanted to teach Xiangbei another lesson!

"Bastard!" Seeing that Miyagi and Mitsui are about to rush up!

“？！” Something hit Kishimoto's head, and when it fell to the ground, he saw that it was a ball of paper, and Kishimoto turned his head angrily!

"Hey, long time no see! ~" Hikochi greeted him with a smile, and he didn't know that he thought the two were good friends.
