The kendo tournament began.

The audience in the stands on the second floor was sparse, a handful here, and a piece there, and it was not as crowded as a concert.

And rightfully so.

On the one hand, it's just a qualifier for the kendo tournament.

On the other hand, kendo is not a national sport, and the circle is so big, naturally there will not be many spectators.

Sakurai Hanari came early.

Even earlier than the school team, enter the Tokyo Budokan and wait.

The reason why it came so early.

In order to see the moment when Ninomiya Ritsu followed the school phalanx into the venue, she also took a photo with her mobile phone as a souvenir.

Of course, in order not to be discovered by the second house.

She deliberately chose a blind spot seat that no one would notice, and was ready to silently follow Ninomiya Ritsu alone until the end of Ninomiya Ritsu's game.

It stands to reason.

The seat she chose didn't have a good line of sight, and she didn't usually have people coming.

But what surprised her.

A girl wearing a mask and about the same height and age as her came sneakily.

Maybe it's because I'm too nervous.

The girl didn't notice that there was a living person in this corner.

She also had to look at the other person carefully, because she always felt that this figure was a little familiar, like where they met.

A flash of light flashed by.

She finally remembered who this girl wearing a mask looked like, and she asked tentatively, "Hayakawa-san?" ”

Someone was heard calling.

Shiori Hayakawa subconsciously turned her head, and then met Sakurai Hanari's gaze.

“……”

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

An emotion called embarrassment spreads between each other.

The two of them were almost at the same time, remembering last night's line chat, one of them kept saying that he didn't care about the win or loss of Ninomiya Ritsu, and Mr. Pukawa's math class was more interesting than the kendo conference.

The other one chimed in.

What kendo competition passed in a flash, and I didn't watch it at all, so I wouldn't go all the way to watch the game for a few minutes.

It turned out well.

The two who swore last night.

Not only did they all come, but they also bumped into each other awkwardly.

Shiori Hayakawa seemed to have been immobilized, and it took a long time to turn her head away, not to look at Sakurai Hanashi, and then said leisurely: "You recognize the wrong person, I'm not Shiori Hayakawa." ”

"Hayakawa-san, don't hide."

Sakurai Hanari ruthlessly exposed: "Don't think that if you are wearing a mask, I don't know you, I just called Hayakawa-san, but I didn't call Ling's full name, but you directly said that it was not Shiori Hayakawa, this is the best evidence." ”

“……”

Shiori Hayakawa took off her mask: "Sakurai-san, no one told you that in life, sometimes it is rare to be confused?" If it were a sick and weak king, I would definitely not be exposed at this time. ”

Speaking of which.

Shiori Hayakawa paused.

There is no gap, there is no gap, and sure enough, only the law of the second palace has that indescribable tacit understanding.

"Yes, is that so?"

Kari Sakurai stuck out her tongue cutely: "Sorry, I didn't mean to. ”

"I didn't mean to blame Sakurai-san."

Shiori Hayakawa replied, "Why is Sakurai-san staying here compared to this?" The view on the first floor is much better than here, and you can also see the competition of the sick and weak up close. ”

"Shh

Sakurai Hanari put her index finger on her lips: "I asked for leave to come over to watch the game, and I asked Hayakawa-san to help me keep it secret, don't tell Ritsu-kun, if Ritsu-kun knows, he will definitely be disappointed in me." ”

"I'll keep it a secret."

Shiori Hayakawa agreed: "But Sakurai-san really cares about the sick and weak king, and he actually asked for leave for him." ”

"I ......"

If it had been before, she might have denied it.

But this time she looked directly into Shiori Hayakawa's gaze: "For me, Ritsu-kun is the most important person to me, just like my family. ”

"I see."

Shiori Hayakawa's face was calm and she stopped talking.

Sakurai Hanashi turned to ask, "Compared to me, didn't Hayakawa-san also take leave to watch the game?" It seems that you also attach great importance to the Ritsuki. ”

"Sakurai-san misunderstood."

Shiori Hayakawa denied: "I just got a recommendation from Tokyo University, I didn't have the pressure to study, and I happened to know that today was the day when the kendo tournament qualifiers began, so I took a leave of absence to come and have a look." ”

"Hey, Ritsu-kun is on the field."

Sakurai Hanari suddenly exclaimed.

Shiori Hayakawa subconsciously looked at the venue, but she didn't see the figure of Ninomiya Ritsu, she was afraid of missing Ninomiya Ritsu's game, so she couldn't help but ask, "Which venue is the sick and weak, why didn't I find him." ”

"Hayakawa-san, I lied to you."

Sakurai Hanari looked like she had succeeded in her plan: "You also said that you came to take a look, obviously you came to see Ritsu-kun." ”

“……”

Shiori Hayakawa didn't want to speak.

Concern is chaos.

She felt that it was such a failure, involving the second palace law, last night on the line, she didn't see through Sakurai Hanari's lies, and today she didn't even see through this third-rate deception.

If it had been placed before.

Ten Sakurai pear, don't want to deceive her.

"It's all to blame on the sick and weak king."

She unreasonably threw the pot on the head of Ninomiya Ritsu.

……

"Huhuhu, finally caught up."

Yoina Ichinose walked into the Tokyo Budokan out of breath.

Originally, she had made a plan last night.

I came here before eight o'clock this morning to witness the entrance of Futaba High School...... Well, it's definitely not to see Ninomiya Ritsu enter or anything, she Ichinose Yona is an upright teacher, and she can't do that kind of teacher disqualification.

But I took a leave of absence to watch a kendo match.

But it is an undeniable misconduct of teachers.

She conducted a deep inner review of this behavior, which lasted until late at night.

The huge guilt made her toss and turn and couldn't sleep.

But review is review, guilt is guilty, leave is invited, and it is still necessary to come.

It's just that she woke up late because she went to bed too late.

In the end, I hurried and hurried to the Tokyo Budokan, and finally didn't miss the entrance of Ninomiya Ritsu.

"Ergong-kun, it's still the same hanging child."

Yona Ichinose couldn't help but show a bright smile, obviously Ninomiya Ritsu was no different from usual, but I don't know why, seeing Ninomiya Ritsu as a general entering the arena with the school team, and the audience was watching, she immediately felt that it was worth the ticket price.

After reading the entrance of the second house.

She knew there was still some time before the game started.

Therefore, she silently walked towards the corner position, that place is normally not eye-catching, and the view is not good, when the time comes, Ninomiya Ritsu will play, she can see it really.

But she didn't expect it.

That location has long existed, and there are still two.

As soon as she walked over on her front foot, a call came from her back foot - "Ichinose, Ichinose-sensei!?" ”
