The heroines want to confess

To her, Sakurai is more important than the kendo competition.

She doesn't even understand the rules of kendo, but does that stop her from watching the competition?Sorry, it has nothing to do with it!

"Hey! Nino, you're not here for the family trip just because of Sakurai-kun, are you?"

Er Nai stopped talking.

The reason why she came here was of course because of the four sisters.

You know, she is the one who cares about her family the most among the five sisters in the Nakano family.

But if you said that she didn't come here to see Sakurai Saki, you were just lying.

Halfway through the exchange between the three of them, footsteps came from next to them.

"Da Da~"

Nakano Miku also came over holding a yukata.

"Saki-kun?"

Her soft and pleasant voice sounded next to her, and Sakurai looked at her.

Miku approached Sakurai and her sisters, then looked curious.

"Won't Nino come in? You have been away from the room for a long time, and have you been chatting with Saki-kun?" Sanjiu asked softly.

"No, we just...just came here." Nino stammered.

"Sakurai-san, when you compete, I will go and cheer you on! Bye!" Nino said with a blush after hearing this, and then pushed Satsuki in with question marks on his face.

Er Nai felt extremely ashamed: "Has it been a long time?"I don't feel anything at all...'

Sanjiu did not follow.

She looked up at Sakurai and said with a gentle expression: "Saki-kun, there is a temple fair nearby on the day the competition ends. Do you want to go together?"

Sakurai did not refuse, but asked: "A request for a wish coupon?"

This time in the final exam, he also handed out two, and also gave them to the two with the best scores.

Even if Sanjiu used a wish coupon this time, she would still have one, because Erno owed her one.

"If you don't use the wish coupon, Saki-kun, are you willing?" Sanjiu lowered his head and whispered.

Sakurai thought for a few seconds and said uncertainly: "I probably don't want to."

"Oh, I'd better use it then." Sanjiu said, taking out a wish coupon written by Sakurai Saki from the pocket of her pleated skirt.

This simple note allows Sakurai Saki to help fulfill a wish without violating his wishes.

Sakurai's eyes followed her movements.

Today, the other party is wearing a white short-sleeved top and a black pleated skirt on the lower body. She is not wearing the black pantyhose she usually wears.

It's probably too hot.

It’s hard to imagine how hellish it is to wear pantyhose in the summer.

Taking her wish ticket into her hand, Sakurai Saki said:

"I received your wish."

"On the night of July 7st, I will go to the temple fair with you."

Sanjiu smiled at him when he heard this, "Yeah."

Sakurai was a little stunned when he saw her smile. It wasn't until she turned around and entered the bathroom that Sakurai came back to his senses.

The speechless girl who rarely showed expressions suddenly came to do this, which was indeed a bit shocking.

'This should be considered a date, right?A lonely man and a widow. Sakurai thought for a few seconds.

'But Sanjiu's fondness for me is not as exaggerated as Erno's, so it should be no problem to go to the temple fair. '

Sakurai threw the coffee milk jug in his hand into the trash can and prepared to go back.

There is really nothing to say about the following training camp. Every day is sword swing and sparring. Yagyu Sohide, who was abused by Sakurai once, is a little unconvinced. He and Miyazaki Ikki have the same personality. The scars are healed and the pain is forgotten. Sakurai Naturally, Saki didn't give him any good things to eat, and even took care of his team members.

Sakurai couldn't understand that such a novice was still a minister.

If the leaders of the semi-finals are at this level, there will really be no suspense in the game.

On the morning of July 7, a group of people from the Shuchiin Kendo Club arrived in a car at the Fukuoka Prefectural Gymnasium to prepare for the selection of the left half.

This matter has nothing to do with Sakurai. He didn't think he could play today.

In the audience, Kojima and Sakurai sat together.

The two of them didn't look like they were here to compete, but like they were here to watch.

"The Jade Dragon Banner has set up a prize for daring to fight. The person who defeats the most people in a row without losing will be awarded the title of Western Country Unparalleled." Xiaodao asked: "Don't you think about winning it?"

"Why don't you go?" Sakurai rolled her eyes at him.

We are from Tokyo.

Having won the title of Xiguo Wushuang, are you sure you can walk out of this venue?Although this title is really cool!

"I can only tell you that the previous dare to fight kings were all from Kyushu and Shikoku."

"Is this politically correct?"

"No, it's just a rule that everyone has agreed on. But you can go and get it. In the future, the road will be bright when you become a police officer. People in the Metropolitan Police Department like kendo. There are also kendo competitions specially organized for police officers." Gonghuo Road.

"I don't want to work in the Metropolitan Police Department." Sakurai glanced at the Shuchiin team's game.

They are right at your feet.

Throughout the gymnasium, no less than 30 kendo competitions were taking place at the same time.

The elimination speed can be called a meat grinder, just like a battlefield. Within a few minutes, a school will withdraw from the competition stage.

Some of the unlucky ones even won the big prize at the beginning, and they were extremely unlucky to collide with last year's top eight or even the top four.

Suddenly there was more movement in the venue.

"Someone got knocked down over there."

Sakurai spoke.

"That big guy is last year's runner-up, the deputy director of the kendo department of Kyushu Academy, a school in Kumamoto Prefecture." Kojima told the information.

A black mascot suddenly appeared in Sakurai's mind.

To be honest, his only impression of Kumamoto Prefecture was Kumamon Bear and nothing else.

----

Chapter 203 Knockout

It is indeed a skill for a county's mascot to sell well all over the country and even the world.

Everyone who practices kendo in Kumamoto Prefecture looks like a bear.

Generally speaking, the stronger the body, the greater the strength. This is a big advantage when the venue is not large.

At this moment, many people have been attacked by Kumamon, and their swords have fallen to the ground.

Crush.It's like a big car running over a child, not on the same level.

"Which school was last year's Jade Dragon Banner winner?" Sakurai asked.

"Fukuoka Daiichi, full name, Fukuoka Daiichi High School."

"No shady story?" Sakurai whispered.

This is Fukuoka. Is it true that only schools in Fukuoka can take first place?

"No, I'm just simply strong. Shuchiin was also unlucky last year. He met Fukuoka's number one at the beginning, otherwise he would have been at the level of the top eight." Kojima said and sighed.

If you block someone else's way to win the championship during the trials, you are an unlucky person.

To be honest last year, the Shuchiin Kendo Club was able to fight a lot, but Kojima was the only one who could be called a strong one.

The director of Fukuoka Daiichi High School, that guy is ridiculously strong. He studies ancient swordsmanship and has been practicing Shinto-style techniques since he was a child.Kojima couldn't beat him, and the school couldn't compare with him in terms of overall strength, so it was reasonable for him to lose.

Kojima recalled it and said with emotion: "There is indeed a saying in ancient swordsmanship. The legend that the heart and sword are one, and the sword is controlled by the heart may be true."

"Xiaojima, I think humans still have to believe in science. You should listen less to these unreliable things." Sakurai said.

You looked serious and acted as if you were real.

How can there be such a thing as heart and sword?I've been touching the bamboo sword for so long, why don't I feel anything at all?

【…】

Um?It felt like Shinobu had something to say.

Do you want to complain?

Xiaodao nodded when he heard this: "That's right. In modern society, there are no supernatural powers."

Kojima continued to watch the game.

"Our school's team seems to have met its opponent."

Sakurai heard this and found that it was Ikki Miyazaki who was the second peak and was in a hard fight.

He and his opponent's swords were intertwined, and with each other's strength, neither could do anything to the other.

I vaguely heard a sound - 'Drink! '

Ikki Miyazaki shouted and stepped back, slashing up and down again.

Not to be outdone, the opponent pointed the tip of the bamboo sword at his gauntlet, intending to attack.

Seeing this, Miyazaki-san had no choice but to retreat and defend.

Only the tip of the bamboo sword is effective. If you want to defend your hands, you need to control the distance. Naturally, you cannot rush to attack, as it is easy to expose flaws.

After a while.

The bamboo swords of both sides once again touched each other.

There was a snapping sound.

The two men were like two bulls wrestling.

"I froze." Kojima commented: "Miyazaki wanted to feint to deceive the opponent's movements in order to counterattack, but his opponent was a reckless man with more problems than him."

Ikki Miyazaki, at best, can be considered a rough but fine person, but the opposite is pure and brainless.

"A fool defeats a master. This time, he meets an evenly matched opponent."

Sakurai said nothing.

"Then can I go change clothes?"

Sakurai is the deputy general.

"No, Miyazaki has a bad mouth and a bad temper, but he still has some strength." Kojima just finished speaking.

Ikki Miyazaki seized the opportunity and hit the opponent's head in the middle of the enemy's attack, taking the lead in getting a copy.

"Mean!!!" he yelled.

-

"He has never held a copy in my hand. I thought..." Sakurai didn't know how strong the other party was.

"Don't let him hear this, otherwise, well, he can't do anything to you, it seems he can only hold it in."

Next, the preliminaries went smoothly without running into any scary guys. Shuchiin's kendo club successfully advanced to the top 64.

The first round of eliminations will be held the day after tomorrow.

You can take a day off to adjust tomorrow.

The next day, when I got up and went to have breakfast, I met the five sisters of the Nakano family. I heard from them that they were going to visit other places in Kyushu today, and they had already finished visiting Hakata.

May even rubbed her belly while talking. She probably ate a lot of ramen yesterday.
