On the third day after the competition, everyone went to the hospital to pick up Ms. Kunoki and was discharged.

After three days of treatment, Sister Kunoki's complexion has improved a lot, and most of the swollen bags on her feet have disappeared.

"Congratulations, you got the Jade Dragon Banner this year." As soon as she got out of the hospital, Sister Kunoki congratulated the boys.

However, her gaze was also faintly gloomy - for her junior year of high school, she had completely parted ways with the Jade Dragon Banner competition.

But youth is always full of regrets, just like every year there are hundreds of participants in various high school competitions, all over the country, but there is always only one team that wins the championship. For most people, their eighteen years have finally come to naught, but they have also become their most memorable memories and inspire them to forge ahead.

"Thanks, we just got lucky." A boy humbly scratched his head: "We will continue to work hard next year, even if we can't get the Jade Dragon Flag, we have to enter the top 16!" ”

"What is that? At the very least, make it to the semi-finals! The other boy patted him on the head.

"What a joke! We're going to win the championship next time! Another boy slapped the second boy on the head:

"Ember Academy Kendo Club! Our goal is the sea of stars, the royal journey! ”

The others burst into laughter.

Makoto Kyushu didn't go with everyone to pick up the senior sister because he was asked out by Eliza in the morning.

The two sat on either side of a bench on the side of the street, and across from them was a humanoid statue of a strawberry head, which was quite comical.

"The strawberry face, which is as cute as a ruby, is a symbol of Fukuoka's specialty Ganwang strawberry. He wears a unique eel sailor knot on his forehead, a cute Takesaki crab waist bag with a crotch around his waist, and a manly fishing suit. This is the mascot of our Kyushu region - Michio Kyushu! ”

This is what the leaflet placed next to the statue reads.

"That statue is also surnamed Kyushu, so it should be your relative, right?" Eliza dropped the leaflet and sat lazily on the handle of the bench.

"If I have a relative with a strawberry head, wouldn't it be that I'm a youkai?" Makoto Kyushu also responded with a joke:

"You specially asked me over, could it be that you want to pull me to do the task again?"

"Are you guilty of PTSD, Stone Man? I can't take you to do a Class B commission now, and I can't afford the drizzle reward of Level C. Eliza sighed and said slowly:

"You're going back to Tokyo tomorrow, that's great~"

"You're still going to stay here?" Kyushu asked.

"About a week." Eliza replied, "Fukuoka is still at the level of Class C danger, so I'll stay and help for the time being." ”

"I guess they must be giving a lot of points, right?" Makoto Kyushu smiled slightly.

"Of course~ But I'm working alone now, and I'm much less efficient." Eliza leaned back in her chair and shook her head absently.

"Isn't your family still going to let you team up with anyone else?" Makoto Kyushu shook his head helplessly.

"That's right, they say 'I'm worried that you'll be hurt by people with bad intentions,' but I won't believe a word from them." Eliza closed her eyes irritably.

"You've worked so hard, too." Makoto Kyushu cast a sympathetic gaze.

Such a young girl, just because she disagreed with her elders, was forced by her closest blood relatives to learn to accept loneliness, and wanted to make her succumb to it.

Of course, Makoto Kyushu is also self-aware. Eliza is also a famous lady no matter how she says it, and in the eyes of people of their class, she is just a nameless junior, and she is not qualified to worry about their trivial matters.

But for friends in difficulty, regardless of the identity of the other party, Kyushu Makoto does not mind offering his meager efforts.

"If you have a hard time at work, just contact me." Makoto Kyushu crossed his fingers with his hands and sat up with his back hunched:

"Even if it's a Class B commission, I can help you with it. As for the remuneration, it should be a little favor for you. ”

“.” Eliza turned her head in surprise, stared at him for a while, and said with a straight face:

"No, Class B entrustment is not a 'small favor'. Don't always be so warm-hearted, I just can't stand your temper. ”

"Then you can make up your own mind." Kyushu Makoto didn't care about being rejected: "Whether you need me or not, I'm here." ”

"Okay, then I'll ask you for help as soon as I encounter danger in the future, shouting "Big hero, come and save me!". Ha, will you be happy that way? Eliza took a deep breath and teased in a stick-reading tone.

"If you do this, I may be really happy~" Kyushu Cheng smiled recklessly:

"At least it proves that you trust me and are willing to treat me as a friend."

"Hey, you're too naïve, 'friend' is really as beautiful as you say~?" She glanced at Makoto Kyushu, took out her mobile phone, and swiped a few times on the screen.

"Ding-dong——! You have received XXX million yuan~" Kyushu Cheng's mobile phone suddenly vibrated and prompted.

"Hey, what are you giving me so much money for?" Makoto Kyushu looked at the sudden increase in the amount on his account and asked puzzledly.

"This is the reward for the crusade against the bride, and you, a C-level officer, can't get a reward, so the reward will be all sent to me." Eliza's tone suddenly became cold, and she said a little reluctantly:

"In addition to your half, I gave you my part as well. After all, you have a lot of credit, and you saved my life, and let me get a lot of points for nothing, and this money should be regarded as thank you" She seemed to bite her tongue: "Thank you." ”

"You still have a good conscience~" Kyushu Makoto smiled easily: "Is this the purpose of you calling me today?" ”

Although Eliza has an awkward personality, she is unwilling to owe favors. For Makoto Kyushu, who had helped her, Eliza stuffed him with talisman paper and money at every turn, which should be her way of being eager to express her gratitude, because she had nothing but these things.

"That's right, just pay it back, otherwise I'll feel very unhappy." Eliza stood up and waved at him, "Mission accomplished, I'm going to go on patrol." ”

"Then you have to be safe." Kyushu raised his chin and said heartily: "I will be promoted to Class B as soon as possible, and we will work together again when the time comes!" ”

"Hmph, memorize the "Encyclopedia of Spirit Species" word for word first, and then talk to me~" Eliza laughed contemptuously and left with her hands in her pockets.

After walking away, Eliza unconsciously covered her chest, and her heart finally began to shake at an accelerated pace undisguisedly.

"It's so annoying, you don't forget to say that you care about me before you leave." She tilted her head and took a deep breath, until her chest bulged slightly, and then exhaled soothingly:

"Every time I am cared about by him, I feel very irritable. It's disgusting, it's really... What is called "friendship"? ”
