Bird Soul: Unparalleled National Warriors at the Beginning.

Chapter 563

Her relationship with Minamihiko and Shishihara is different. Even after winning the competition, Saki still behaves as humble as usual in front of her sister with a cold expression.

She felt a hint of her sister's anger during the competition.

Even though her anger had dissipated and was no longer noticeable, her sister, who had lost the game, had a blank expression on her face, making it impossible for Saki to guess what she was thinking.

"sister……"

Saki's dry lips opened slightly and she was about to call out to the other person.

"Congratulations, keep up the good work."

His expression remained unchanged. He just nodded lightly to his sister, then said to the other two families, "Thank you for your hard work," and slowly walked out of the game room.

"Hehe. We have made history."

Seeing the defending champion being stopped in this round, Lion Yuanshuang breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she was not the one who advanced in the end, she definitely played a big role in stopping the defending champion from winning the title.

"Since you have advanced, I hope you two will play well tomorrow. I will continue to watch the game."

"it is good."

Nan Yan nodded.

The battle with the defending champion was finally over, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, the pure Nine Lotus Lantern in the last game was indeed completed with the help of Saki. Without Saki's assistance, the only options for him were four bars + clearing the old man or all green.

But this route is far inferior to the double yakuman that he had never performed before with the cooperation of Saki, and it was completed in front of Miyanaga Teru.

Saki watched her sister leave, and for some reason she felt relieved.

She felt that her sister still put a lot of pressure on her, but this pressure completely disappeared after the game.

Generally speaking, it’s the scariest thing if your sister doesn’t talk to you.

But she encouraged herself at the end, which means that her sister may still care about her.

She will play well in tomorrow's game.

"Nanhiko-senpai, Saki, come over here..."

At this time, the voices of Kyotaro and Yuki were heard outside the game room.

Seeing their teammates calling them, Nan Yan and Saki finally relaxed completely and walked quickly towards their teammates.

Afterwards, Xiaohe and Jiudi also joined them.

The official of the national competition also focused the camera on the scene where Qingcheng and others were gathered together.

Because the champion of tomorrow's final will be decided among the four people in this team!

“I never thought that this year’s individual finals would become an internal gathering in Nagano Prefecture.”

“In fact, we could already see this possibility in the third round of the semi-finals. Among the eight players in the third round of the semi-finals, only two were not from Nagano Prefecture.”

"So that's right. Player Miyanaga Teru is also from Nagano Prefecture. It seems that Nagano Prefecture is really full of talented people. Not only did it produce a genius like Miyanaga Teru, but it also produced a monster like Minami Yumenga."

"The national individual finals became a civil war among the Qingcheng teams, and only the captain of the Qingcheng team is a third-year student. This is probably the worst news in recent years for many old giants."

“At least in the past two years, it’s hard for other teams to have big ideas about the national championship.”

Commentators including Fujita Seiko and Mukaimura Yuichi could not help but sigh when they saw that the four biggest players in the country this year were all from Kiyosumi High School.

Originally, because Nan Mengyan's brilliance illuminated the entire Qingcheng High School, many people ignored the personal strength of Qingcheng player.

For example, Qingcheng's pioneering performance before Shuangtianhe's short-lived success did give people a bright feeling, but unfortunately Shuangtianhe is a scene that is difficult to replicate. Even though Qingcheng's pioneering performance was indeed quite eye-catching, it did not highlight his strong personal strength.

Therefore, many people think that Kiyosumi is like Shiraitodai, a team that can only achieve good results with the support of pillars such as Miyanaga Teru and Minami Yumenga.

If the pillar falls, the team will fall apart in an instant.

Many wealthy teams have considered hiring Qingcheng's Nan Mengyan to join their own teams at a high price. After all, as long as Nan Mengyan is not there, Qingcheng is just a low-tier mahjong club.

How can a team that is seriously short of departmental funds be compared with wealthy and powerful families?

As for Kiyosumi, having a star-level beautiful girl like Haramura Kazue was the key factor in attracting Nan Mengyan to stay in Kiyosumi, but it was nothing for the wealthy.

After all, there are as many beautiful young girls as the rich and powerful want.

It would not be a problem at all to even build a Lustful River battleship specifically for Nan Mengyan, composed entirely of beautiful girls with baby faces and big breasts.

There are already wealthy families willing to spend a large sum of money to build such a team of beautiful girls for Nan Mengyan.

But this scene in the final dispelled such thoughts of many giants.

Judging from this result, it seems that not only Nan Mengyan is strong in Kiyosumi High School, his teammates are also very good mahjong players, and each of them possesses extraordinary strength that is among the best in the country.

The results of the individual competition are achieved by playing one and a half at a time. Teammates cannot provide any help. A criminal must perform like a criminal. It is impossible for him to reach the finals just because his teammates are strong.

Judging from the fact that most of the members of Kiyosumi have made it to the finals, except for the graduation of the captain, the original team configuration will be retained next year. In other words, as long as Nan Mengyan stays in Kiyosumi, winning the championship next year is a foregone conclusion.

In this way, even if there is a team willing to build a Lustful River battleship made up of all beautiful girls for Nan Mengyan, and to serve Nan Mengyan alone, it will not be that attractive to Nan Mengyan.

Because compared with the national championship that is almost within reach next year, any normal person with a sound mind would know what to choose if it is for the sake of their own future development.

In this world where mahjong is respected.

Becoming a national champion means a bright future. You will surely rise rapidly in the future, and reaching the pinnacle of your career will basically be no problem.

Especially since Nan Mengyan is still young, the terrifying achievement brought by winning two championships is like the difference between phoenix marrow and dragon liver and earthy rice compared to a year of indulgence in debauchery.

Everyone knows how to choose.

If someone chooses the latter, it means that he must not be able to win the championship, so he has to settle for second best!
Nan Mengyan is a smart man and will definitely not delay his smooth career for a year of enjoyment.

For the media, the news that Qingcheng and his four teammates advanced to the finals was naturally a major event in the mahjong world and must have been reported extensively.

After the semi-finals, the official also arranged an interview session.

However, this time Nan Yan did not accept the interview, but gave it to the minister.

After all, compared with him and Xiaohe, Jiudi has too few opportunities to show up in front of the media, so interviews should be handled by Jiudi.

Facing the interview, Jiudi felt somewhat nervous.

She wasn't really good at handling big situations, but she made it to the finals on her own strength, so she didn't show any fear. Although she had never experienced such a national-level interview, Jiudi was still the president of the student council of Qingcheng High School, and he often gave speeches in front of all the students in the school, so he still had the dignity of a council president.

"No matter what the result of today's game is, as long as there are the smiles and care of my teammates, success or failure is just embellishment in the end."

Of course, only the winner can give such an acceptance speech. To the loser, these words sound a bit ironic.

"Regarding tomorrow's finals, you will be facing the players from your own team. As the captain of Qingcheng, how do you feel now?"

Kumiko Hanibuchi, a reporter who had a good relationship with Junko Nishida, asked this question.

As the minister of Qingcheng, he will have to play against the players of his own team tomorrow, which can be said to be a very tough task. Therefore, tomorrow's final will obviously make the minister feel a little complicated.

“In fact, in the individual competition of the county level competition, there was a very crucial promotion match, which was a civil war with my teammates. Unfortunately, I lost that game. Didn’t I fail to defeat my teammates?
But this national competition gave me a chance, allowing me to seize this opportunity and meet them again in the finals.

And this time, it will be my battle of revenge."

Takei Hisahi then smiled and said, "Just kidding, my teammates and I actually made a gentleman's agreement during the county competition. Even if we have to have a civil war, each of us will go all out and show 100% of our strength. No one can be soft-hearted just because they are our own players.

Even though my teammates knew this year would be my last match, they kept their promise and eliminated me in the county tournament.

Therefore, in tomorrow's battle, all members of Qingcheng will still abide by this agreement and will fight to the end with all their might."

As Jiudi spoke, there was thunderous applause from the audience.

It must be said that Jiudi had been the president of the student council after all, so he still had leadership qualities.

Compared to Nan Yan's speech, which seemed perfunctory at first glance, her speech resonated more with people.

“Thank you very much for Minister Kiyosumi’s speech. We are also looking forward to seeing what kind of exciting game Kiyosumi’s players will play tomorrow.”

"..."

In the audience, everyone watched Jiudi being interviewed by countless media and reporters.

Sometani Mako couldn't help but feel happy for her.

There used to be only two of them in the mahjong club, and Mako once asked Jiudi what he would most like to do if he were to participate in the national competition?
Takei Hisahisa was silent for a moment.

Then he answered: "How should I put it? What I want to do most is to enjoy the lights after the game, accept media interviews, and then give a heroic victory speech."

Mako: "You guys, didn't you say you're not good at handling big situations?"

Takei Hisa answered: "I'm not really good at it, but when I was a junior student, I heard the seniors in this mahjong club fantasize about everyone participating in the national competition together, and then everyone being interviewed. It was definitely a beautiful dream. So I also thought about what kind of victory declaration I could make when I lead my members to the national competition one day. I even have a draft in my mind. Mako, do you want to listen to it?"

I recall the scene when Hisa Takei read out his extremely arrogant victory speech.

At this moment, Mako couldn't help but shook his head and smiled playfully.

"Minister, you are still too reserved now."

He had clearly accomplished his former ambition, but when it came time to give his victory speech, he was nowhere near as arrogant as before.

Is it because Qingcheng now has so many members that Jiudi has some airs as a minister that he can't let go of?
It's not as unrestrained and wild as before.

However, it is not bad for a minister to be a little more reserved.
.
The game is over and the interview is over.

At night, on the top floor of Qingcheng's dormitory.

Haramura Kazu received a call from his father.

"Your competition is over, and you will have to go through the procedures for leaving school next year. Now that you have won the championship, you should not have too many regrets."

"But father..."

Upon hearing the news, Haramura Kazu was struck by lightning. She had not expected that even if she won the team championship, she still could not shake her father's determination.

She felt a little panicked, and her hand holding the phone began to tremble uncontrollably.

"I can't help it. This is not something you can decide. Because of your mother's and my work, we have to move to Tokyo. I have already established connections in Shiraitodai, Tokyo. They are both champion schools. It's the same to study in Kiyosumi or Shiraitodai."

In fact, from the very beginning, Haramura Kei didn't care about the agreement with her daughter.

Although he was a little surprised that his daughter won the championship, he had to go to Tokyo for work and could not leave his daughter alone in Nagano Prefecture.

What's more, if he wins the championship, his daughter and that little bastard Nan Mengyan will be even closer. What if the young boy and girl accidentally spark love, what will he do as a grandfather?

Whether for selfish reasons or work, he had to move.

After receiving this news, Haramura was extremely sad.

But soon she heard the phone being snatched away, and then her mother's gentle voice came from the other end.

“Xiaohe, don’t listen to your father’s nonsense. It is true that we need to move for work, but I still respect your personal decision. If you want to stay, then continue to stay in Nagano Prefecture. It won’t be too late to come to Tokyo after you finish high school. I will leave enough money for your living expenses, so you don’t have to worry about food, clothing and other expenses.

Your father simply said such stupid things because he doesn't like Nan Mengyan. You have finally made friends in Qingcheng and have made achievements in the field of mahjong. He is so happy that he can't contain himself.

What he said before was just to scare you, don't take it too seriously!"

At this time, Haramura Kei snorted coldly.

He originally wanted to scare Xiaohe a little and make her agree to leave Nagano and go to Tokyo with him.

But he didn't expect that his wife would directly thwart his sinister plan.

After all, winning the championship is a very prestigious thing. Even if Haramura Kei, who has always been very concerned about his reputation, looks down on games like mahjong, winning the championship means an improvement in his social status. It is not only a face-saving project, but also brings practical benefits. It is impossible for him not to be happy.

And then, Haramura Rika said something that made Haramura Kei furious.

“Besides, I can guarantee that Nan Mengyan’s future achievements will be no worse than your father’s. He is also a very sensible and good child, and he will definitely not be as fond of physical manipulation as your father was when he was young.

If possible, rent with him next year. It's fine for you to live with him. Don't care what your father says.

If you can get such an excellent boy as soon as possible..."

"mom!!!"

Haramura's cheeks suddenly turned red.

Originally, her father's words made her very uncomfortable, but her mother's words surprised and delighted her, leaving her in a state of confusion and a complete mess of mood.

"Alright, that's it. Play well in tomorrow's game. You don't have to worry about the family matters. I'll take care of whatever complaints your father has! Go to the game without worry!"

After saying this, Haramura Rika hung up the game directly without giving Haramura Kei any chance to refute.
