There must be no problem with the youthful struggle story between me and the horse racing girl

"That's just right. By the way, I also want to talk to you about that bastard."

Obviously, Kiryuin invited Kazuomi for another purpose.

that bastard—

All He Chen could think of was that person.

.

"Ah!"

Koji sneezed violently again.

Sitting in front of the bar counter, he shivered unconsciously, and that indescribable chilly feeling appeared again.

"Look, someone misses you again, right?"

Yoshida happily picked up the soda vodka and took a sip.

"No - sneezing is just a stress response of the nasal mucosa. It's nothing to think about."

Koji rolled his eyes at him directly, feeling a little speechless at the old man's joke.

The relationship between the two of them as both teachers and friends lasted for more than a day or two. Sitting in a bar in Chiba, this was a rare break.

This bar was recommended by Yoshida.The retro decoration design, combined with the old-fashioned gramophone playing a vinyl record, and the melancholy blues that can be heard throughout the bar.

It's quite like a European-style tavern from the Middle Ages.

The two of them sat at the bar and had a drink. It turned out that Yoshida had made the decision to make an appointment with Tojo Hana.But after all, tomorrow is the emperor's key battle. At this time, she doesn't want to be affected by these things. What's more, she has more important things to do now than relaxing, so she politely rejected the teacher's request.

"I originally wanted to ask Tojo to come with me, but if she doesn't come, it doesn't matter."

Yoshida said as he put down his wine glass.

Turning sideways, his face did not have the rare smile of an old fox. Instead, he stared at Koji seriously.

"Having been back for so long, shouldn't you tell me the reason?"

.

pat-

The water basin is placed above the head, and the refreshing feeling of hot water showering is like the soul being sublimated in the mist.

Before entering the large bathhouse, you must shower your body first. After Kazuo rinsed the foam off his body, he walked to the bathtub with a towel around his body.

Although it is not a large recreational bathhouse like Oedo Monogatari, this bathing pool specially opened for citizens is simply a good place to dispel the fatigue of the day.

Of course, it would be a great blessing in life if you can enjoy an open-air bath in winter.

Kiryuin had already entered one step ahead of Kazuomi, leaning back against the flush pipe with a towel on his head, and closed his eyes as if enjoying himself.

Kazuo slowly sat in the hot spring, and the warm feeling spread all over his body instantly, and the pores in his body seemed to expand accordingly. As soon as his whole body was soaked, the fatigue of the day was swept away.

"Oh~~"

Kazuo couldn't help but sigh, no one can resist the comfort of taking a bath.

Although Qingliao also has such facilities, in terms of scale, such a public bath is more enjoyable.

"It's comfortable, isn't it?"

With his eyes closed, Kiryuin sighed like this to him.

"Um..."

Kazuomi seems to be able to express his feelings only in monosyllables.

However, apart from this, Hechen also noticed another thing.

Although I think my physique is not too bad, it still pales in comparison to the store manager next to me.

It was not obvious when he was wearing loose short-sleeves before, but now when they met frankly in the bathhouse, they realized that the lean-looking Kiryuin store manager could be said to be full of tendons.Although his main job is to adjust and prepare professional accessories, he has not neglected his own training.

After all, it was almost ten o'clock now. After an old man got up and left, they were the only two people left in the bath.

"What do you want to say about that guy?"

Still closing his eyes, his tone was nonchalant, but——

"...this..."

What do you want to say about that guy Koji?

He Chen thought about it carefully, he was lustful, immoral, unreliable, liked thighs, and didn’t want to work——

There are a lot of things I want to say...

but--

"Kouji...how should I put it...he seems to have his own thoughts."

Kazuomi always thinks of what Koji said when he was drunk that day. Although he behaves casually on weekdays, he seems to retain a deeper side of himself.

"...Something on your mind?"

Kiryuin's voice didn't waver at all, sounding indifferent.

"Well... Although Guang Si is usually idle and careless, he once cried very sadly when he was drunk."

"I'm sorry for not helping her fulfill her wish... or something -"

Although it is easy to overlook, Kouji must be a very powerful trainer.

When he met him, Kazuo thought so from the bottom of his heart.

"...Is that so? Did that bastard say that again..."

The atmosphere seemed to be much quieter, and Kiryuin lowered his head as if thinking.

"... I don't know what happened to him. I only know that last December he flew to the United States to participate in the world competition as a college representative. After that... he lost in the end..."

"He returned to China in early April, right? That means he stayed in the United States for at least more than a month. During that time - what exactly did he experience in the United States...Ahua didn't want to mention it. However, he He has obviously encountered some kind of dilemma, at least compared to what he used to be, he seems to be running away from something now."

"Although I find him very unpleasant... but as his roommate, if one day I really need your help," Kiryuin turned around, opened his eyes and replied seriously, "I hope you can reach out. Give him a hand."

This was a request from a former classmate and best friend. Although Kiryuin was reluctant to mention these things, he cared about this guy very much.

This request was conveyed here together.

He Chen looked at the pleading eyes and nodded solemnly.

"Well...I understand. If necessary, I will do my best."

This is also the case -

A request from Koji's former roommate to his current roommate.

ps:

ps:

In the past two days, it seems that the campus network has been unstable due to the heavy rain the night before, so it was relatively slow to get the word to write.

I think if necessary, I will go to the Internet cafe to update it.

Tonight I basically resumed posting after early morning. I tried my best to write the game chapter (The Battle of the Emperor's Satsuki Sword) in the first part of the second volume again.

Please vote for the blade

Chapter 26 Potential Rivals

The cold moonlight shines on the track, and only scattered lights shine on the silent arena.

Rudo symbolizes a person walking on the track, one step at a time, stepping lightly on the soft turf.

I closed my eyes slightly and felt the lonely but peaceful feeling on the track with ease.

Tomorrow, she will stand here, try her best, sprint hard, and win the championship.

This is the first step she needs to take and where it all begins.

More than a year of preparation can be said to be just for now.

Walking quietly, it seems that I can already see the warm sun tomorrow, the roaring crowd, and the scene of everyone vying for that championship on the spacious track.

while walking.

Stroking the fence of the track, the emperor couldn't help but think of the figure standing far away from her. She is still chasing her. One day, will he be able to stand beside her or surpass her——

while walking.

This was a match exactly one year after she and Tojo met. It was both the end and the beginning.

while walking.

Stepping on the moonlight, Lu Duo could not help but stop.

At this time, a person standing on the opposite side stared at her motionless.

The girl with a chestnut ponytail stared at the emperor with a solemn expression, the emotion in her eyes was very strong.

There were still people staying in the arena at this time, which made the emperor slightly startled. After all, she had to find the person in charge to get permission to stay in the arena for a while before closing...

Although every player came here to familiarize themselves with the track during the previous warm-up, when she saw the girl's face clearly, her pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly... The appearance of this person in front of her couldn't help but arouse Her memories.

In the G2 Yayoi Award, Satsuki Award frontline battle——

"The last 200 meters!! Rudo Symbol caught up from the outside, Rudo Symbol!!! She rushed out!! Bizennishi, Bizennishiki are still trying desperately to distance themselves!! But it's no use! Rudo Symbolizing that extremely oppressive running style! In the last 50 meters, it was even! Crossing the line!! It is the symbol of Rudo! It is our emperor!! Won this outpost preparatory battle and ended Bizen Nishiki's streak Win!!”

The sounds from that time still seem to surround my ears, and the memories evoked gradually overlap with the figure from that day.

Looking at the girl in front of him, the emperor also corrected his attitude.

"...Bizen Nishiki-san..."

"...Shut up, I am no longer your classmate...Rudo symbol."

The girl's attitude was full of defensiveness and unspeakable disgust.

Yes, hate is written all over his face.

It can even be said to be an emotion of hatred and hostility.

"..."

The emperor was silent for a while, but he didn't know how to say it.

The fact that the girl in front of her left Tereson College was more or less closely related to her.

but--

"Tomorrow's game, I will definitely defeat you! Use my strength to prove that you and Mr. Tojo are wrong! I will prove that Mr. Tojo... the choice he made at that time was wrong!"

The girl's trembling voice was filled with emotions that had been suppressed for a long time. Listening to what she said, the emperor silently shook his head and said, "Are you still grudges about what happened at that time? Actually -"

"To shut up!!"

Her emotions suddenly became excited, "You don't understand anything at all, and you are not the one who was abandoned!!"

Everything she said happened at this time a year ago...

but--

"...Tomorrow, I will definitely defeat you in the game, end everything for you, and take away what you want... the symbol of Rudo, this is my revenge——"

After saying this, the girl turned around and walked towards the player tunnel.

The emperor was left alone standing there as if thinking about something.

.

"Sure enough...is she still thinking about what happened back then..."

Standing in the corner of the viewing platform, Tojo Hana watched all this happening in silence. If she appeared at this time, it would undoubtedly make the situation more complicated.

However, if she chooses to wait and see, it will also be a torturous feeling for herself.

Because the current situation was caused by her.

"Is this obvious? Although she has her own problems - but as a trainer, you are the one who chose to let her go. You are the one who made such a decision, right?"

A calm voice with a hint of amusement came from behind, and then a horse racing girl with long black hair and a small top hat walked directly to her side, also looking at the emperor standing in the distance in the field.
