Chapter 367: The Tournament Officially Begins
Starfish remembers that she fell asleep on Edge's shoulder when she asked Edge's why she didn't chase Kate. She wondered from the beginning why the misunderstanding occurred when it was clear that Edge had a deep affection for Kate. She was shocked when she remembered her intimate behavior with Age, and blushed in embarrassment and didn't dare to look at Edge.
But Edge didn't blame her. Edge knew very well that the problems between himself and Kate would not just be due to a misunderstanding caused by the starfish, but more about the distance between the two after a long period of no contact. What's more, Kate is a woman who is not frank. If the problem is not solved in time, the problem will become bigger and bigger in her heart until it is difficult to solve.
"Age?!" Just as Edgey and Starfish were worried about Kate's affairs, a voice of surprise sounded behind them.
When Age heard this, he looked back, it was Orwell! Orwell became more and more handsome, and he had not seen him for a year and a half, and his temperament was much more noble.
"Orwell, it's been a long time!" Exclaimed Edge, looking at Orwell, excitedly.
At this moment Orwell stepped out from behind a tall man, almost a head taller than Edge. He looked at Age, his expression did not change, and he looked at Age and said very unceremoniously: "Crete, I didn't expect it to be you!"
Crete, which is Age's surname, is usually called so when others are polite, but this name is somewhat unusual.
Edge was very familiar with such a voice, and when he looked up, it was Tacley!
"Takli, long time no see!" Edge, looking at the tall and handsome Tacley, cried out with the same excitement.
Orwell and Tuckerley were both his friends at Caanster. Now that I have been reunited after a long absence, I am excited, as if I have a thousand words to say.
Starfish saw that Edge was so familiar with two young and handsome men. It's a slight compliment, it seems that this guy is not just a group of troublesome women, but finally a friend or two.
"......Who is this?" Orwell asked politely, noticing the starfish behind Age.
Only then did Aigie remember that the starfish was behind him, so he quickly pulled the starfish over and said, "She is the starfish, it is mine...... Partners and friends. She will fight alongside me for this pilgrimage!"
"Yes...... It seems that Aggie is really a representative of the competition......" Orwell didn't seem very excited when he heard that Aggie would also participate in the pilgrimage. There was some surprise and sorrow.
His mood at this time was the same as when Edge learned that he, Kate and Tuckerly were also representatives of the pilgrimage ceremony. As long as each other wants to achieve the ultimate victory, it is possible to become enemies.
"Crete, we won't lose to you!" it was Takli who made it clear that he didn't care so much. Sooner or later, this kind of problem will have to be faced. It's better to show your attitude at this time.
Looking at Ai Ji and continued: "I will not let everyone's efforts be in vain! In the past year and a half, in order to participate in the pilgrimage ceremony and achieve the final victory, Orwell and Kate have paid hard work that you can't imagine, especially Kate!"
"I won't let her down!" Tuckery said, staring at Edge, his tone resolute.
Edge was stunned, but he didn't expect Tuckley to say such a thing directly. Orwell felt that it would hurt the atmosphere to say such things when they had just met, and scolded softly, "Tuckley. Don't say these brainless words, it's not too late to say it then!"
"It's okay!" said Aggie as Orwell yelled at Tuckerley. smiled: "I was relieved to hear you say that, Tacley." Originally, I didn't know how to deal with such a situation, but now that everyone knows that if we can stand in the same ring at that time, let's all go all out and don't leave ourselves with regrets. ”
"Good!" Orwell agreed with Edge.
"Hmph!" Tuckerley tilted his head in disdain, indicating that he was too lazy to pay attention to Aegie and Orwell.
Seeing him like this, Edge still smiled lightly. Tuckerley has changed a lot, his relationship with Orwell has become better, and his personality has become more straightforward.
"Well, Ageie, didn't you see Kate, Kate arrived a little before us, she should have come......" Orwell noticed that Kate was missing, and thought strange. Edge was here, how could Kate not see it, and if she did, how could the two be separated so quickly?
Orwell's words embarrassed both Edges and Starfish, and Edgefish looked at Starfish, and Starfish looked at Age, and neither of them knew how to answer for a while.
"Hmm? Yes...... What's the problem?" Orwell asked, noticing the anomaly of Aggie and the starfish.
"Oh, it's okay!" Eggie replied as she was urged by the starfish to say to Orwell, "Kate said she was a little tired, so go back and rest first." Anyway, we're all here, and we have time to get together, so why rush for a while. Also, tomorrow our respective events start, it's time to rest. ”
"Well, Aegie is right!" Hearing Aggie's words, Orwell nodded, "We arrived on time because we were delayed in Caanster City, so we happened to arrive on time, and we did seem to be in a hurry." ”
"Now that Kate has gone to rest, then Tuckerley and I should go over early, but we can't let the cold princess wait, hehe. Orwell motioned to him and Tuckerley to pass over, and that it was not good to linger any longer.
Because of Kate's business, Agey and Starfish would like to do this. Orwell's words were exactly what they meant, and Aegie hurriedly replied, "Okay, Orwell, Tuckerley, you should go and rest first, and get ready for tomorrow's showdown!"
"Good!" Orwell and Tuckerley gestured to Edge, and left for the courtyard where they were resting.
After Orwell and the others left, Edgey and Starfish stopped lingering and returned to their own courtyard.
After returning to the courtyard, the starfish felt particularly disturbed. She blamed herself a little when she remembered that Kate and Age had a conflict, and actually slept on Age's shoulder like that! Now that the relationship between Kate and Age has become stiff, she is worried that it will affect Age's performance tomorrow, and she always wants to say something to Age, but she always doesn't know how to speak.
"Edge......
"I know what you want to say, Starfish, don't worry, although I care about Kate's affairs, but tomorrow's confrontation with the people of the Bhikkhu Empire is more important, and I will definitely not be distracted. Edges interrupted starfish before waiting for her to say more.
Edge's words sounded sensible, but Starfish always thought something odd, as if Kate wasn't as important as tomorrow's event. Maybe it's because she's a woman, and being ignored in women's affairs makes her think about things from Kate's shoes.
She wanted to say something to Age, but Age told her to rest. Although I don't want to, I have no choice. Aegie has gone to rest, what else can she do. In that case, let's take care of our energy first and deal with tomorrow's showdown together! We must not lose to those hateful representatives of the Bhikkhu Empire!
After the starfish fell asleep, Edge quietly opened the door and silently swept out.
The place he went to was the courtyard where Kate was resting.
There were some things he wanted to make clear to Kate. Kate's character he knows best, and he doesn't want to cause irreparable consequences because of a momentary delay.
Arriving at the courtyard where Kate was resting, Edge saw that Kate was not resting, so he wanted to sneak in. But Kate soon spotted him, and the two of them remained standing, looking at each other, but without any other movements, without even speaking, and the atmosphere was very stiff.
Thinking that he was going to explain it to Kate, Edge plucked up the courage to speak first, looked at Kate and said, "Kate, I'm ...... Today's events are not what you see......"
He just explained it very clumsily. If you think about it, Kate wouldn't forgive him or be relieved so easily.
After explaining what happened to the starfish, Edge didn't know what to say and fell silent again. And Kate didn't intend to just stand with him like this, and seeing that he stopped talking, she turned her head to leave, her expression was still so cold.
Seeing this, Aegie was very anxious, and generally went up to take Kate's hand and said, "Kate, I know that there is a big problem between us now, and we all wonder how such a problem was born and how to solve it. It's just that...... Now none of us know what to say. But I don't want us to be stiff like that, I ......."
Edgie paused, then looked at Kate and said, "I don't want to lose you like this!"
Kate's fingers moved when she heard him say this, and her eyes moved. But soon her reaction, which was not easy to detect, disappeared, and was replaced by her coldness. Seeing her like this, Aggie was extremely disappointed, could it be that Kate blamed herself like that?
He didn't say anything more, didn't know what to say again, and let go of Kate with great reluctance, bowing his head gloomily. Maybe Kate needs time now to think about how she shouldn't bother her so much.
Kate glanced at him, her eyes no longer so cold, but it didn't mean that she had forgiven Edge. She turned, striding back to her room. Seeing this, Agee knew that she would not get Kate's answer today, and she also turned to leave.
"You ......" And at this moment, Kate, who had not spoken, stopped and spoke, she turned her back to Aggie, and said, "You remember to win tomorrow, I don't mind the final showdown, it is in the same ring as you." ”
Hearing Kate's words, Edge was overjoyed. When Kate said this, it meant that he forgave most of him. He turned to look at Kate, but Kate was gone.
Although he didn't meet Kate, Edge was very happy. As if he had let go of some baggage, he breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the courtyard where he was resting with a smile.
And after he left, Tuckerley walked out of the side. Tuckerly looked at the direction he had left with a complicated expression, and then also at the place where Kate had left just now.
Now that the matter of Kate and Agey has been confirmed, he is very disappointed, but seems to be completely relieved, although very unwilling.
The next day, representatives of various countries gathered, and the first knockout round of the pilgrimage ceremony officially began. (To be continued......)
