Four Seasons Garden Apartment, Hayakawa House.

Shiori Hayakawa is curled up on the living room sofa in her pajamas, the blue light emitted by the screen of her mobile phone reflected on her flawless face.

Ding dong.

There was a continuous LINE prompt on her phone, and it was obvious that she was chatting with someone.

She has very few friends.

The only people who can talk are Ritsu Ninomiya and Hanari Sakurai.

And Ninomiya Ritsu is usually busy brushing up on experience.,Except for something.,Basically, I don't use LINE to chat.,So the person who chats with Shiori Hayakawa at this time.,Naturally, Sakurai Hanashi.。

"Hayakawa-san, good evening (▽)/."

"Tomorrow is the qualifiers for the kendo tournament, and Ritsu-kun seems to be the main player in the men's division."

"Hayakawa-san is going to cheer for Ritsu-kun?"

Looking at the three messages sent on the screen one after another, Shiori Hayakawa fell into hesitation.

How to answer that?

Going is definitely going to go.

She asked Kensuke Urakawa, the teacher in class A, for leave, and if she didn't go, it would be in vain.

But just because she wants to go doesn't mean she wants people to know.

Just like the last time Ritsu Ninomiya challenged the kendo department, she just found a seat and watched silently, and this kendo conference, she obviously had the same idea.

The difference from the last time is.

This time, not only did she not want Ninomiya Ritsu to know, but she also didn't want Sakurai Hanari to know, so if Sakurai Hanari was going, she would have to think about it: "Then will Sakurai-san go?" ”

"I—Of course I'm not going."

Sakurai Hanari didn't dare to tell the truth, she hadn't forgotten that Shiori Hayakawa lived in the same building as Ritsu Ninomiya, and she also had a pet together, if she said that she would go to the kendo tournament tomorrow, then Shiori Hayakawa would talk to Ritsu Ninomiya about it, and it would be troublesome.

After all, the central exam is coming soon.

Ninomiya Ritsu spent so much effort so much in order for her to be admitted to university.

How disappointed it should be to be disappointed that Ritsu Ninomiya knew that she was not doing her job properly and asked for leave to come to the kendo tournament.

She didn't want Ritsu Ninomiya to be disappointed in her.

So anyway.

To go to see the kendo tournament, you have to hide it from Ninomiya Ritsu.

Here's why.

She suddenly sent a line to Shiori Hayakawa and asked her if she would go to the kendo tournament as a reason.

If Shiori Hayakawa goes.

She's going to be disguised and on high alert, and she must not be discovered.

Got a reply from Hanari Sakurai.

Shiori Hayakawa immediately put her mind at ease, and at the same time replied: "Even Sakurai-san won't go, I naturally won't go, in the end, whether the sick and weak kun loses or wins, I don't care." ”

There was a pause.

In order to strengthen her persuasiveness, she also continued to emphasize: "Compared to watching a kendo conference or something, Mr. Puchuan's math class is much more interesting than that." ”

"yes, yes, I think so too."

Sakurai Hanari was in a good mood, and hurriedly echoed: "The kendo competition or something, it's over in a moment, it's not interesting at all, so I won't go all the way to the martial arts hall for a few minutes of competition." ”

The two chatted for a while.

That's the end of the line.

……

Eight o'clock the next morning.

The people from the kendo club of the private Futaba High School gathered and boarded the bus to the budokan.

The format of this year's National High School Kendo Tournament is based on the neon kendo tournament, the top tournament of neon kendo, and only the teams that have won the championship of each prefecture tournament can participate in the main competition of the kendo tournament.

Neon counties are equivalent to the provincial-level administrative regions of Huaguo.

In other words.

In a provincial-level administrative region, only one team can advance to the main competition.

This shows how brutal the qualifiers were.

Fortunately, some large prefectures with large populations and developed economies, such as Chiba Prefecture, Tokyo Prefecture, Osaka Prefecture, and other regions, can also qualify for the main competition.

As soon as the team of private Futaba High School entered the Tokyo Budokkan.

Immediately ushered in the attention ceremony.

After all, the private Futaba High School is a famous kendo school, especially the women's group, which has won two consecutive national championships.

This alone point.

It's enough to make the teams of other schools regard it as the biggest enemy.

Compared to the women's division.

The men's group led by Ritsu Ninomiya has received a lot less attention.

After all, the men's group only took a lead last year and won the third place in the national competition, and even failed to pass the qualifiers earlier, so it is not worth mentioning at all.

"Junichi Shimono, you're finally here!"

Takeo Hiratsuka, the head of the private Shiraki High School next door, walked over: "This year, our Shiraki High School, whether it is an individual competition or a team competition, will definitely take revenge for last year's one-shot attack and beat you down."

"Wait!

"Where's that guy Hiroyuki Ishiomoto?

"It can't be that you're afraid of me, hiding in some corner, right?"

"Hiratsuka, you're looking for the wrong person."

Jun Shimono sat down on the water dispenser and sneered: "This year's opponent is not me, but a few over there." ”

"Huh?"

Takeo Hiratsuka looked to the right.

I saw that Iijima Taisho and several mansions were nervously huddled together, especially when their backbone Ernomiya Ritsu entered the gym and didn't know where to run, which made them even more bottomless.

"They're your electors?"

Hiratsuka Takeo frowned and said, "What are you kidding, they don't even have bamboo sword protectors, they don't look like they practice kendo at all, you told me that they are the right choice?" Don't try to lie to me, let Yuyuki Ishimoto come out quickly. ”

"They're the right choice."

Junichi Shimono shrugged: "If you don't believe me, you can ask our minister, Satomi Asama." ”

Speaking of which, for the sake of it.

I can't help but take Takeo Hiratsuka doesn't believe it.

He felt that the whole person was not good, and after a year of hard training, he waited for this year's revenge battle, and the result told him that the men's group of the kendo club of the private Futaba High School was choosing a collective change, which was a thing.

"So who are you generals?"

Hiratsuka Takeo held his breath in his heart, and he could only pray that the general would be stronger.

Otherwise, I'll abuse Futaba High School later.,There's no sense of accomplishment at all.。

"It's the clown."

When Junichi Shimono saw Ritsu Ninomiya coming out of the locker room, he immediately made mocking words, because Ritsu Ninomiya changed out of the uniform of the private Futaba High School at this time, put on a suit and leather shoes, tied a tie, and wore a professional attire.

I don't know.

I thought he was not coming to the kendo tournament, but the speech tournament.

But the second palace law is also very helpless.

When a referee has to wear formal clothes, he can't be specialized.

"Ninomiya, why are you dressed like this!"

Even Iijima Taisho, a sworn friend, inevitably looked at Ritsu Ninomiya with strange eyes.

In fact, not only Daisho Iijima.

Including Deputy Minister Yuko Mishima and Advisor Teacher Nagasawa Yuo, they all glanced at Ninomiya Ritsu intentionally or unintentionally at this time.

Participate in kendo tournaments.

It's understandable to change into protective gear and uniforms in advance.

But it's the first time they've seen each other.

Hiratsuka Takeo walked over with a black line on his head: "You are the general of the men's group of the kendo club of the private Futaba High School?" Are you sure it's not a clown from the circus? Anyway, the private Futaba High School is also a famous kendo school.,Why did you make this kind of farce this year.。 ”

It's not just Hiratsuka Takeo.

There are a few schools next door.,Attention is also on the side of Futaba High School.。

When I learned that Ninomiya Ritsu, who was in a suit and leather shoes, was a general, and the four mansions that didn't bring bamboo knife protectors were the right choice.

The weirdness that every face can't describe.

The dogs shook their heads when they saw it.

That's when it happened.

Dongxiang Yoshihuai hurriedly walked over: "Ninomiya-kun, you can be counted as coming, the working meeting of the qualifiers will start soon, and you, as one of the referees, can't be absent for no reason." ”
