Great Swordsman Ke Xue.

Chapter 610 Who will win?
"Flowers bloom in Nanbojin, but they hide in shame in the cold winter."

There are some sentences in the karuta that are indeed poetic in Koji Shimizu's opinion, but most of them are sad little poems about the sorrow of spring and autumn, the withering and flourishing of plants, etc. In terms of artistic conception, they are really a bit petty. This is why Koji Shimizu lost interest in karuta after playing a few games after traveling through time.

But at this moment, in the Achiha Hall, as a spectator in the audience, looking at the scene of dozens of people lined up on the field, sitting upright and playing chess, apart from anything else, it is still very impressive.

Koji Shimizu was holding Haibara Ai, like an ordinary brother and sister who came to watch a karuta competition. Xiaolan and Maori Kogoro were sitting on his left. Maori Kogoro was yawning, while Xiaolan was staring at a corner of the stage nervously.

The competition adopted an elimination system. The early stages of the competition were like this, a big fight among dozens of randomly assigned people. Hongye and Ye were both on the stage, but fortunately they did not meet in advance.

Otherwise, I'm afraid one of the two people will be eliminated, and that person will most likely be He Ye. He will cry very hard because now he has lost and has no ranking at all.

Before the game started, Koji Shimizu saw that the senior from Mirai who had an injured arm personally found Kazuha and cheered her up.

But in Koji Shimizu's view, it is more of a pressure than encouragement.

You see, the game has just begun and He Ye's arms are trembling slightly. With Shimizu Koji's eyesight, although he is sitting in a sea of ​​people in the audience, he can still see these details clearly, and he doesn't even need the help of a large screen for live broadcast.

"This spring, the whole house is filled with flowers in bloom and the fragrance is fragrant~~~."

The sound of karuta continued to play. On the field, there was a fierce clash of "pa pa pa". Countless karuta were knocked away. Among them, Ooka Momiji was full of energy and slapped the boy opposite her with one palm. The boy was so scared that he was dumbfounded and trembling.

Although He Ye is not as strong as Hong Ye, his eyes are firm and he is more and more focused. He does not even give his opponent a chance to touch a card.

For those who can understand karuta and pay attention to the contestants, the competition is actually quite interesting, but for those who know nothing about it, it is a torture.

Koji Shimizu glanced at Kogoro Mori and saw that the uncle was leaning back in a chair and drowsy. It was obvious that the aftereffects of not getting enough rest last night were still getting worse.

However, he didn't want to watch the game while listening to Kogoro Mori's snoring.

"Xiaolan, uncle seems to be snoring."

?!"Um?!"

Kogoro Mori was startled and sat up straight, looking at Shimizu Koji with disbelief in his eyes.

He hasn't fallen asleep yet!
"Ah, uncle is awake, it's okay, let's continue watching the game."

Shimizu Koji smiled gently, but Maori Kogoro looked at him strangely, as if he had just met him.

Shimizu-kun, you have become sinister!
Of course, Xiaolan understood what Shimizu Koji meant, and knew that Shimizu Koji was paying attention to the game, so she turned her head away in annoyance and forcibly reached out to straighten Kogoro Mouri's head.

"Dad, you disturbed Shimizu-kun from watching the game!"

"If you really don't want to watch it, just go outside and sleep."

Xiaolan's tone was resentful. Although Maori Kogoro really wanted to go out to sleep, he didn't dare to do so because he was not sure whether Xiaolan would wake him up before leaving after he fell asleep.

"Who do you think will win between the two of them?"

Ai Haibara sat in Shimizu Koji's arms and asked softly.

Shimizu Koji held her hand, teasing her as if she were his own sister. He touched her face twice, and when he heard her speak, he thought for a moment and said, "You should ask which of them I hope will win."

The two of them spoke in a very low voice, at least Xiaolan couldn't hear it, otherwise, she would probably have a deeper understanding of Shimizu Koji's 'scumbag' nature.

Huihara Ai didn't care much and blinked curiously, "Hmm? Then who among them do you hope will win?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, Hongye will probably win, but I hope Kazuha will win."

"Do you want to see that young lady fail?"

Haibara Ai is indeed a worm in Shimizu Koji's stomach. Shimizu Koji smiled and did not deny it. Haibara Ai naturally remembered what Ooka Hongye said in front of them yesterday. Hugging Kazuha's thighs and begging pitifully?
There was also a little more interest in her eyes.

However, as Koji Shimizu said, if the game goes to the finals, the winner will most likely be the young lady Ooka Momiji.

The only one crying and looking pitiful is Yuanshan Heye.

"Broken on the rapids and rocks, helplessly separated~~"

after an hour.

"After a long and intense battle! Now, we announce that Ms. Toyama Kazuha, the representative of the Kakaruta Club of Kaikata High School, and Ms. Ooka Momiji, who won the title of the previous Kakaruta Queen of Kyoto Izumishin High School, have officially won the finals of this Kigetsukai Hyakunin Isshu Waka Contest!!"

"Everyone! Cheer!"

The atmosphere in the audience was very lively, not only because of the commentator's support, but more because of the two contestants on the stage themselves.

Ooka Momiji and Toyama Kazuha, two beautiful girls whose names seemed to carry the flavor of a fateful duel, were standing upright on the stage at this moment, staring at each other intently, as if they were the only two left in this world.

The Japanese were most interested in this kind of match that had a flavor of a fateful showdown, so many people started to cheer.

But no matter how noisy they are, it will not affect the two people on the stage in the slightest.

"I will defeat you!"

"Really?! Then I'll wait and see!"

Ooka Momiji looked calm, smiled and slightly puffed out her chest. Although she didn't say anything harsh, Kazuha seemed to be at a disadvantage in an instant.

Kazuha stared at Ooka Koye closely, but Ooka Koye remained calm. She lifted her hair with her hand, turned around in a very free and easy manner, and walked behind the stage.

And the host, President Achiha, was already waiting for them outside.

Seeing this, He Ye looked back at the venue and saw Xiaolan waving at him in the crowd, and Shimizu Koji smiling and encouraging her. His heart was instantly filled with energy again.

"Gangbadeyo!"

The energetic girl clenched her fist very seriously on the stage to cheer herself up, which also caused cheers from the audience!
“KAWAHI!!!”

"Whoa oh oh!!"

"She is really cute. I think I know why you like her~." Haibara Ai suddenly retracted her gaze and looked at Shimizu Koji.

"Why, didn't you notice it before?"

"To say I didn't notice, it's not really. It's just that I really can't do the same thing as her. I'm a mature woman now."

Haibara Ai reached out her hand and lifted the hair beside her ear just like Ooka Momiji did just now, but while she said this, her little body was leaning in Shimizu Koji's arms.

Really, there is a kind of indescribable cuteness and charm, which makes Koji Shimizu want to laugh.

"what are you laughing at?"

"No, no, you're seeing things."

"Hmph~."
