Net King: Edogawa Sakuraichi

Chapter 1 First Arrival at Net King (Modified Version)

The wind in March is warm, with the breath of early spring floating over, a little wet and a little cold.

If the wind is too strong, there will be a rushing sound of waves, and then pieces of broken cherry blossoms will flutter down.

Through the layers of leaves, the girl lying on the tree slowly opened her eyes. She seemed a little uncomfortable with the glare of the sun, so she stretched out her hands to cover her eyes.

After his eyes got used to it, he slowly lowered it down, but halfway through it, he froze in the air again. He casually grabbed the air with his five fingers, and then let it go. There was still a faint fragrance of cherry blossoms between the fingers.

The moment she let go, she saw her shrunken hand and sighed slightly.

Can not go back!

Really can't go back.

Sighing lightly, this kind of inability to go back is different from other people's inability to go back.

Others may really have no way to go back, but she is waiting for the people from her place to pick her up.

Her name is Chen Yuran, Chinese, 28 years old, captain of the 46th century tn Galaxy team, nicknamed Spade K.

Once, when escorting the prisoners back to planet K121, she encountered a space-time storm, and her subordinate artificial man l131 suddenly rebelled, and brought a large number of artificial men to rebel together, making her have to escape from her battleship. Unexpectedly , was accidentally caught in the space-time storm, and ended up here after waking up.

When she woke up, the too dazzling light made her uncomfortable, so she had to cover it with her hands, and then slowly lowered her eyes after they got used to it. The finely crushed cherry blossoms are very beautiful.

She has never seen cherry blossoms before, but she probably knows that such flourishing flowers are only available in spring.However, looking at her shrunken hands, she couldn't help sighing, she has become smaller!
Being strangled by the space-time storm, no matter how strong her body was, she was lucky not to be strangled, so she could accept it even if she became smaller, as long as the family members came to pick her up, she was not short of time.

Pushing the spare bag that came with her behind her, she leaned against the tree trunk and thought about the things that bothered her these days.

She found that she could not understand the things here as well as the words, so she had to sleep on this tree all the time, go out once in a while, stand under some large electronic screens, and silently follow the people on the screens to learn the things she could not understand. text and pronunciation.

There is nothing for her to write down, so it is a bit difficult to learn, but she practices repeatedly every day, hoping to learn the language of this place as soon as possible so that she can communicate.

In addition, she also discovered one thing.

This place is a very strange place, people here have different hair colors and eyes, even her own hair suddenly turned silvery white.Moreover, it is really peaceful here, there is no smoke, no war, and no artificial humans.

People seem to get along very harmoniously, and there are tit-for-tat confrontations, but they are rare, and more of them are close friendships. Compared with the complicated relationships around her, the people here are obviously much simpler.

Looking up, the dark red eyes looked at the pink and light green cherry tree above, the morning wind hit, the sound of the tide was rushing, and the petals were flying like rain all over the sky, the beauty was illusory.

He took a deep breath of the air, felt the faint fragrance of cherry blossoms in it, stretched out his hand, gently pinched the brim of the hat with his index finger and pressed it down slightly, the K in the black logo was undoubtedly revealed.

Compared with her world, this is really a beautiful place.

"Hey, Dashi." A slightly youthful voice sounded not far away, attracting Chen Yuran's attention. Looking past the voice, he saw two teenagers in dark blue school uniforms walking slowly from the bottom of the ramp. Walk up slowly.

He is not very old, looks about 13 years old, and his height is almost 165.

One of them has wine-red hair, the ends of which are upturned, and looks very energetic. There is a band-aid on the right side of his slightly immature face, giving people a feeling of flying away.

And next to him was an egg-headed boy, holding the tennis bag strap with his left hand and inserting his right hand into his purse. When he heard the boy next to him speak, he turned his head slightly: "What?"

"We will participate in the competition next week." Perhaps because of this incident, the red-haired boy's voice did not have any high-pitched tone, but with a trace of solemnity and worry, "I don't know if Senior Yamato will choose us. , after all, the seniors from the third grade are still there, and... we are all only in the first grade."

Hearing what he said, the boy named Oishi couldn't help but pause, and then moved on. He was also looking forward to being the main candidate, but as he said, they were only in the first grade, and except for the guy with glasses In addition, he is not yet qualified to contact the position of the main election.

But even though he thought so, Oishi still comforted softly: "Eiji, don't worry, we can run for the main election in the second half of this year, and next year, we can participate."

"Although this is the case, I still want to participate in the competition." Kikumaru said with some frustration. He has liked tennis since he was very young, and he has been looking forward to the day when he can stand on the court and compete with those powerful people. I have always been looking forward to the game, and this wish has never changed.

But his partner Maeda-senpai is about to graduate, how can he play doubles without a partner?

When it comes to singles, his physical strength is really poor. He can't hold on to the end every time. He can only support eight rounds at most before reaching the end. For this reason, he has lost confidence.

"Eiji, don't be discouraged, there will always be..."

"Hey, Oishi." Suddenly, Kikumaru stopped, turned around and looked at Oishi, with a grin at the corner of his mouth, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "What do you think, how about the two of us forming a doubles?"

"Eh?!!" Dashi's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.

"Let's form a doubles." Kikumaru smiled and stepped in front of him and stood still. The frustration on his face disappeared and was replaced by a sunny smile: "We will start with the regional qualifiers, then the metropolitan tournament, and the Kanto tournament , and finally, dominate the country!"

"Dominate... the whole country???" Dashi stared at him blankly, and his backlit figure inadvertently cast a layer of golden brilliance on him, making people unconsciously believe, "I, can I? Your partner is ..."

"Ah, it's okay," Kikumaru nodded with a smile, and grabbed his hand: "Believe in yourself, the two of us will definitely dominate the country, for sure! And..."

Suddenly, he paused, raised his head and inadvertently glanced at Chen Yuran among the branches, his wine-red cat pupils blinked, and then blinked again, "That...you are???"

What is he saying? ? ?
Chen Yuran narrowed her dark red eyes. She couldn't understand this language. Although she had learned it in front of those big screens for a day, she still had a lot of vocabulary that she didn't master. The words ''big stone'', 'competition' and 'right selection', I don't understand anything else.

However, judging by his appearance, he probably wanted to ask her name, right?But she can't express it in the language here!He opened his mouth, but in the end, he still didn't speak.

"Can't talk?" Kikumaru asked suspiciously. Seeing her lips move but she didn't speak, she thought she couldn't speak, so she turned to look at Dashi: "Why don't we take her back ? Look how pitiful she is alone. Well, have you eaten yet?"

The last sentence was addressed to Chen Yuran. Kikumaru had a pure heart and a very kind heart. He couldn't see the poor creature wandering outside, especially the child in front of him looked so young, about ten years old.

"You can't, eh?"

wow-

Just as Kikumaru spoke, he saw the child on the top of the tree carrying a particularly large schoolbag, jumped off the tree, and ran into the depths of the forest.

"Run, run away..." Kikumaru stared blankly at the direction where his back disappeared, with a dejected look in his eyes, "Nya~ What a pity, see you next week."

Chen Yuran didn't run far, but stopped after running for a while, climbed another tree and sat down.

Shashasha~
Soon, the sound of soles rubbing against grass blades sounded, causing Chen Yuran to look down curiously, only to see a girl with brown shawl and long hair coming over, put a book on the ground and sat on it, leaning on her back. Looking at the tree where Chen Yuran was sitting, she picked up the big pair of earphones on her shoulders and put them on, then closed her royal blue eyes and began to listen to the song.

Blinking her eyes, Chen Yuran also leaned against the tree trunk and looked into the distance.For three days, the two of them sat on the top to doze off, and the other sat on the bottom to listen to music, and neither disturbed the other. This seemed to have formed a tacit understanding.

The breeze came, and the hair of the two people fluttered gently, and the broken cherry blossoms flew around and landed on the two of them, and then flew away again, bringing a faint fragrance of cherry blossoms, which made people feel refreshed.

Chen Yuran put her hands behind her head, looked over the layers of cherry blossoms, and landed on the girl listening to the song below, and then slowly retracted it. It seems that it is necessary to find someone to ask where this place is.
