Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

After returning from their respective activities.

The boys' group of Jingwen High School can be said to have gained a lot.

Several people bought a large bag of specialties to take back to the city.

But it was different from the relaxing atmosphere of sightseeing here.

The atmosphere in the girls' group was more dull.

After all, they were nervous.

They hadn't even sat down yet and encountered the incident of Adachi Gakuen.

This made them, who already lacked experience in major competitions, even more uneasy.

Although Kitagawa Hanako encouraged them, the effect was weak and could only boost morale for a short time.

This gave Kitagawa Hanako a headache.

Nervousness is a taboo before a kendo competition.

And she is not a professional psychological counselor - the consultant teacher of the kendo club may only come when the men's group competes because of something urgent.

This made her a little helpless.

Seeing that the situation in the women's group was not very good.

After all, Kitagawa Hanako is Leiko's sister, and she is now a member of the kendo club. It is reasonable that she should do her part.

So Kita Sumi thought about it and decided that instead of doing nothing, it would be better to try it, so as not to regret it later.

And Kita Sumi's attempt was also very simple - to cook for the women's team of the Kendo Club.

Yes.

Kita Sumi didn't forget that he also had the drugging skill of cooking (happiness).

Although this weird skill is marked as making people feel happy, it may not be able to relieve the tension of the women's team facing the competition.

But what if it works?

He called Kitagawa Hanako out and told her his idea.

These words made Kitagawa Hanako couldn't help but look at him more. Are you serious?

She really admired Kita Sumi's swordsmanship level. After all, the fact that the other party could defeat her father was enough to explain everything.

But Kita Sumi's words were too metaphysical.

It was just to replace the food with the food made by Kita Sumi himself.

Just changing someone to cook, can it change the low morale of their women's team?

Don’t you really think that it’s like what’s shown in animations or TV – as long as you eat delicious food, you can get motivated?

That thing is not called cooking, it’s called drugging.

But after all, it’s Kita Sumire’s good intention.

Although Kitagawa Hanako didn’t have any expectations for Kita Sumire’s “encouraging” cooking.

But after hesitating for a while, she finally nodded and agreed to Kita Sumire – as long as he didn’t cook it badly, she would basically accept it.

The next day, the sky was clear and cloudless.

In the Fukuoka General Sports Center, the opening ceremony of the Jade Dragon Flag was successfully held.

The women’s group in kendo uniforms lined up neatly and listened to the Kendo Union boss above them.

The audience seats in the general sports center were already full at this moment.

There were also many reporters pacing back and forth in the venue, and flash lights were lit from time to time.

This is a scene of a competition where almost all people are seen.

In addition, there is a tense atmosphere in the air.

Even Kitagawa Hanako, who had participated in the Jade Dragon Flag once, felt a little nervous.

She was like this, let alone the women's team she led.

Several people's faces turned pale, obviously not used to the spotlight and so many spectators.

Of course, it was not just them.

Some teams from other schools were not much better.

Some even turned pale and were a little unsteady on their feet.

After the big boss of the Kendo League finished speaking and introduced the sponsors of this competition, the women's Jade Dragon Flag competition officially began.

This year's Jade Dragon Flag event has a lot more participants than in previous years.

So the women's team competition is divided into areas A to H.

According to the competition process.

Jingwen High School will play six games today alone - three games in the morning and three games in the afternoon, directly sending away 268 of the 300 women's teams, leaving the top 32 to play tomorrow.

But——

"It's not a good start."

Looking at the dejected teammates behind her, Kitagawa Hanako frowned.

It was indeed a bad start.

The Yulongqi competition had just started.

They, the Jingwen women, were beaten three by the vanguard of the opponent Saga Kita.

Fortunately, their deputy general did his best to replace the opponent's vanguard, and then cut down the opponent's secondary vanguard with a beautiful cut, which solved the urgent problem.

Of course, if it was just a simple one-on-three, Kitagawa Hanako would not care so much.

The key is that she knows the Saga Kita team.

It is definitely not a strong team.

Last year, they only made it to the third round of the regional competition and did not even qualify for the regional competition.

Although they, the Jingwen women, are not a strong team except for her.

But at least they are the team that won the county competition.

They are not opponents who can challenge them in the third round of the regional competition.

If they, the Jingwen women, can play their usual strength, they will definitely not be beaten so badly.

And the most important thing is.

This is just the first round of the battle, and she needs to come out as a general to fight three against one to save the situation.

There will be two rounds and three rounds to come, and she may meet a strong school.

Kitagawa Hanako is not a superman, and kendo competitions are very physically and mentally demanding, so even she can make mistakes.

Not to mention if the opponent adopts a delaying tactic and uses a human wave tactic to consume her physical strength. That would be the end.

But no matter how you think about it, now it's her turn to appear.

Kitagawa Hanako could only sigh, and while standing up with a bamboo sword, she secretly prayed that her teammates would be able to adjust their mentality next time.

What happened next followed exactly what Kitagawa Hanako had expected.

Probably because of a bad start, he was directly penetrated by others.

Kana Matsuhashi, who is also a sophomore and is the pioneer of their women's group, begins to become timid.

Several times I had pretty good opportunities but didn't dare to attack aggressively.

As a result, he was defeated by an opponent who was obviously not as strong as him.

Don't think this is uncommon.

It's just like when you play a game, some people become stronger when they are strong. The other party's rank mark such as Grandmaster or Master will only make him more excited.

But some people will shrink back when they meet a master or a master. After being killed once, they will not dare to resist anymore and lose their morale, so they become "weakened the more they fight."

Matsuhashi Kana was in this state of despair.

This made Kitagawa Hanako so angry that she almost vomited blood.

Finally, I went up and finished wearing four at a time.

After coming down, she immediately told Matsuhashi Kana and the others to let go and fight, so don't be afraid.

Everyone understands the truth, and Matsuhashi Kana also understands it, and she also wants to let go.

But as soon as he comes on stage.

The tense atmosphere of a big competition.

The oppressive feeling when the spotlight flashes from time to time is really completely different from that of the county competition.

that's all.

in such a low pressure environment.

In the last game of the morning, Kitagawa Hanako, as a general, came up and defeated five at a time, completing the five-man dare award with an extremely difficult attitude.

And this is also the first time since the start of the Jade Dragon Banner that five people dared to fight for a reward.

Like sharks that smelled something fishy, ​​reporters rushed to Kitagawa Hanako for interviews.

How could Kitagawa Hanako have any intention of accepting an interview? I just said a few words and then sat down to rest.

She was almost dead from exhaustion, and her kendo uniform was almost soaked with sweat.

This is of course.

In the first game, she wore three, in the second game, she wore four, and in the third game, she wore one and five. It was so painful that she couldn't handle a donkey that way, right?

She originally thought that the men's team led by Kitami Minoru was just a bunch of rotten fish and shrimps and could not make it to the stage.

Unexpectedly, the women's team he trusted most also stabbed him in the back.

And the scariest thing is that the first game in the afternoon is a school called Nakamura Girls' School.

This school is one that Hanako Kitagawa has researched and is considered a truly strong school.

In the last Jade Dragon Banner competition, they reached the top 16, and everyone from the vanguard to the generals was quite difficult to deal with.

Not to mention that her physical strength can no longer keep up at the moment.

Damn it, what should I do? If this continues, I might really lose.

When she thought that she was really going to be part of a traveling team, Kitagawa Hanako couldn't even eat anymore. She just took a few rice balls that the men's group bought at the convenience store while running errands to simply satisfy her hunger, and then she lay down half-closed. Rest your eyes and save your energy.

no way.

No one in the women's group is reliable.

If she fell, it would really be all over.

only--

"Um?"

Kitagawa Hanako, who was resting with her eyes closed, was woken up by a burst of crying.

It was a small, yet extremely unwilling cry.

She felt a little strange and opened her eyes, intending to ask what happened.

Then--

Then she was hugged hard by Matsuhashi Kana and others.

At the same time were their half-crying voices.

"We are so lucky to have President Kitagawa willing to lead incompetent members like us to participate in the Jade Dragon Flag Competition!"

They cried with tears all over their faces, and there were still unfinished rice grains hanging from their mouths.

He hugged Kitagawa Hanako tightly and refused to let go.

This sudden scene made Kitagawa Hanako confused.

What confused her even more was what Matsuhashi Kana said next.

"Don't worry, President! We will definitely show our full strength in the afternoon game! If we still lose, then all of us will have our heads shaved!"

"ah?"

Kitagawa Hanako was stunned.

Matsuhashi Kana is a club member who joined the club at the same time as her, and she is a very gentle girl.

There are very few days when I talk loudly.

But what did she just say?

Shave your head?

are you serious?

Kitagawa Hanako's face turned red.

In this kind of sports competition, students from many schools will use the method of "sharpening their will" to show their determination to win.

But most of them are boys.

How can any girl shave her head? !

There is obviously something wrong with the state of my own members.

What happened?

With a confused face, she glanced around, and then she saw Minoru Kitachi, who had been missing all morning, saying he was going to prepare food.

The other party was looking at her with some embarrassment at the moment.

Seeing Kitumi Minoru's 'sorry' expression.

Kitagawa Hanako felt that the inexplicable state of her club members was most likely the fault of the other party. Her face turned red and she was holding back her anger:

"Beicheng! What on earth is going on?!"

"Ahem, it's nothing. Uh... I just gave my sisters some handmade rice balls and some home-cooked side dishes."

Kitaki Minoru had an almost empty lunch box on hand.

Seeing Kitagawa Hanako noticed him, he couldn't help but cough dryly, feeling quite embarrassed.

Mainly because he didn't expect that his cooking (happiness) skill would be so 'destructive'.

These girls from the Kendo Club burst into tears when they were only halfway through eating.

While stuffing rice balls into their mouths, they shouted that they must repay Kitagawa Hanako for covering for them all morning.

"Just some rice balls and side dishes?"

Kitagawa Hanako looked at Kita Sumire suspiciously, and then looked at the members who were surrounding her, wondering if the other party had given her some unclean medicine.

Do their reactions look like they've eaten?

It looks like they've taken drugs.

To make matters worse, while she was struggling, the lunch break of Yulongqi was over.

Looking at her own members who were still holding her and refusing to let go, she was so depressed that she wanted to vomit blood.

She had originally planned to take advantage of the short lunch break to recuperate and prepare for the afternoon game.

In the end, there was no point in resting!

As expected, Kita Sumire should not have been asked to prepare the "pumping food".

She had no choice but to let the women's team members stand up and sit in the competition area. She felt her scalp tingling when she thought about the next match against the top 16 of the previous Yulong Banner.

It was really tingling.

Because according to the performance of her own women's team in the three rounds of the morning.

Basically, there was no need to think about it.

They would definitely be defeated by the pioneer of the Nakamura women.

There was a high probability that she would have to go on the court under the huge pressure of defeating four.

The key point was that the Nakamura women were not amateurs.

If they saw that the situation was not good, they would definitely adopt a tactic of delaying time and physical strength.

If that happened, it would be really over.

At this time.

Although she was very reluctant.

But Kitagawa Hanako could only pin all her hopes on Kita Sumire's so-called "pumping rice ball" - just hoping that it would have a little effect.

The game started soon.

Matsuhashi Kana vs. Nakamura Women's Pioneer Ogiwara Naga.

As a team of 16.

Ogiwara Naga naturally studied the contestants.

Jingwen High School was also among them.

But to be honest, except for the general, the other four people in Jingwen High School were basically rotten fish and shrimps, and they were completely unworthy.

Especially in terms of psychological quality, they were already pale before they even went on the court.

And at this moment, seeing Matsuhashi Kana on the court.

Ogiwara Naga did not hesitate to launch a psychological attack strategy and laughed sarcastically.

"The people who came to make up the numbers are on the court. You Jingwen women, except for Kitagawa Hanako, none of them can fight, do you know?"

She wanted to use the verbal offensive to shake Matsuhashi Kana, who already had poor psychological quality.

Take advantage of the situation to take her down in one fell swoop, and at the same time consume as much of Kitagawa Hanako's physical strength as possible, squeezing her space for a one-on-five.

But what Ogiwara Naga didn't expect was.

Matsuhashi Kana was indeed shaken.

But it was not like what she imagined, with a pale face and trembling hands and feet.

Instead, it seemed that she was irritated by herself, and she rushed over with a loud shout of "Kill!"

The speed was quite fast.

Even Ogihara Nagaia didn't have time to react before she was hit in the face.

What happened? !

Ogihara Nagaia was stunned.

The pioneer of Jingwen High School was completely different from the eye-catching performance in the morning?

Was she taking drugs or was she replaced?

She widened her eyes, unbelievable. The opponent she looked down on scored a point with such an easy means, and her mentality was obviously greatly hit.

It was also the opportunity to seize the opportunity when her mentality was hit.

Matsuhashi Kana did not hesitate, and in the next round, she cut it down with a perfect cut, "killing" it under the bamboo sword.

This blow caused an uproar in the audience.

The Kansai audience present were all surprised.

After all, Nakamura Women's Team belongs to their Kansai region's hot team.

They have always been paying attention.

But this result was beyond their expectations.

How come the Nakamura women's vanguard was killed by Jingwen High School before they could even react?

What happened to Jingwen High School?

A dark horse from Kanto?

Kanto and Kansai have always had a tradition of looking down on each other.

They were naturally surprised to see Jingwen High School in Kanto beat their favorite vanguard.

And not just them.

Even Kitagawa Hanako, who was sitting on the sidelines and recuperating, said "Ah?" with an incredible look on her face.

What happened?

When did the women's team of her own kendo club become so powerful?

She had already prepared for her own kendo club to be defeated five by one.

But who would have thought that Matsuhashi Kana would give her a good start right from the start - taking down the opponent's threatening vanguard directly.

And -

Looking at the Nakamura women's second vanguard, who was sweating profusely under the desperate attack of Matsuhashi Kana and the subsequent second vanguard.

Kitagawa Hanako opened her mouth.

What happened?

Were you guys playing me this morning? It's not like that at all.

Did Kitasumi feed me some unclean medicine? So fierce?

4600 words - Good night everyone!
