Tokyo's most affectionate

“I’m from Hokkaido.”

"..."

Hearing this answer, the middle-aged man was speechless.

Does this guy think that just because he is from Hokkaido, he can be considered a professional?

"Uncle, what's that look in your eyes? Do you want to compete with me?"

The young and energetic Yamamoto Daiki immediately felt unhappy with this look.

"Please come back after 10 o'clock."

Faced with such provocation, the middle-aged man was very impatient and didn't bother to pay attention to him. He just threw down a word and was about to turn around and leave.

"Please wait a moment."

Seeing his attitude, Kurosawa Hikaru spoke.

"No matter how much you say, I can't let you in to skate before 10 o'clock. If you can show me your membership card, that's another matter."

Hearing this request to stay, the middle-aged man turned around, looked at him and said.

Although this man looked quite elegant, gentle and intellectual, not as rude as that country guy from Hokkaido, it was not yet business hours.

"We can't go in and skate, so can we go in and take a look first?"

Kurosawa Hikaru knew that they didn't have membership cards, but he still negotiated politely.

"Go in and take a look?"

Hearing this request, the middle-aged man was stunned.

"It's only 9:15 now. You see, we're already here. We'll have to wait here or inside. It'll only take more than half an hour. Please be flexible."

Kurosawa Hikaru took out his cell phone, took a look at it, and said.

"It's not impossible... But you absolutely cannot go on the ice skating field. Before it is officially open, the ice needs to be compacted, cleaned, and refilled. You can only watch from the sidelines. You are not allowed to make loud noises and disturb others."

The middle-aged man saw that he had a good attitude, then looked at their group of eight people, and changed his mind after thinking about it.

These people are all kids who are interested in skating, and there is no need to turn them away.

If he has potential, maybe he can become a permanent member of the skating rink in the future.

"Thank you very much for your understanding."

The negotiation was successful. Kurosawa Mitsuru looked at everyone, smiled at each other, and then bowed his head slightly to thank him.

"Remember to buy your ticket so you can go on stage at the appointed time, and don't cause trouble to others."

Seeing that the group of children had a very correct attitude, the middle-aged man nodded slightly and gave Yamamoto Daiki a warning look.

Although this group of people are dressed rather uncouthly, judging from their previous conversation, this guy is the most noisy.

"understood."

"By the way, you guys have to play in the outer circle. The outer circle is for tourists. Don't rush into the inner circle."

After thinking about it, the staff member gave a very nagging reminder.

The inner circle is mainly for rotation and jumping training, while the outer circle is for slow skating.

"it is good."

Everyone responded to this reminder. When playing in someone else's place, they naturally have to follow their rules.

The staff looked at Kurosawa a few more times, reminded him to keep an eye on everyone, and then opened the door for them.

"You obviously have to buy a ticket and pay for it, but there are so many restrictions. It's not like I haven't been here before."

Finally, they crossed the gate of Gaien. After the gate was closed, Yamamoto Daiki couldn't help but complain.

They had been to Gaien once before and had an impression of the place, but that time they had been there in the afternoon, not early in the morning.

"You can enter the inner circle if you want, but you have to wait until the official opening time and don't cause trouble for others."

Qiu Yue Kui knew that he really could skate and had been in the inner circle before, so she just reminded him.

Soon, they moved all the way to the entrance of the ice rink, next to which was a ticket machine.

Buying tickets is very simple. Neon's ticket vending machines are very developed, basically covering all industries.

High school students aged 15 and above are considered adults and a one-day ticket costs 1890 yen, plus rental skates cost 520 yen separately.

However, such a price is nothing to them.

After all, they go to various occasions to play all day long, and they are willing to spend money on playing.

There are many windows and passages inside the huge building.

Inside the window, there are staff members in dark uniforms standing behind the counter. Tourists need to first collect rental skates and protective gear, such as knee pads and helmets.

After some trouble, they finally officially entered the outer garden.

The Gaien Skating Rink is a standard world competition venue with a large area and a high ceiling. There are paths for people to walk on the periphery, all separated by fences, so that tourists can hold on to the fences while experiencing ice skating on the periphery.

As we arrived at the venue, the temperature inside was very cool, as if we had walked directly into an air-conditioned room.

"Wow, that's cool."

Finally arriving at the ice rink, Shiina Ai felt the cold wind blowing towards her and was very surprised. She opened her hands holding the tourists' ice skates and embraced the comfort of the air-conditioned room.

Maybe it was still past 9 o'clock, but the sun was high in the sky, and she had been running around outside for so long that she was already feeling hot.

"Keep your voice down."

Qiu Yue Kui heard her loud voice and reminded her.

“There are so few people this time.”

Hinata looked out at the scene on the ice rink and couldn't help but sigh.

They came in the afternoon before, and the skating rink was very lively. It couldn't be said to be overcrowded, but it was still quite crowded, making it difficult for people to enjoy themselves.

But this time, there are only a few people on the ice rink, and the venue is incredibly large, so we can have a great time later.

"Hey...she's here too."

Sato, who was also looking around, was surprised.

On the ice rink, I saw a white figure skating in the center of the field.

Her movements were graceful, like a butterfly dancing on ice, light and dreamy.

Although her long white hair was tied up, her beauty, like an elf from a fairy tale, was stunning.

She has a beautiful face, a face as white as a lotus, three-dimensional facial features, delicate cheeks, and a beautiful face.

She has a unique temperament. She is wearing a costume with purple as the base and black as the secondary color, which perfectly sets off her skin that is so white that it seems to be glowing.

"It was the beautiful sister I saw at the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan that day."

When Shiina Lan heard this, he looked in the direction of his gaze and was suddenly surprised.

"Is it really such a coincidence?"

In fact, when Kurosawa Hikaru walked in, he noticed Miki Baiyu at a glance, faster than anyone else, and couldn't help but feel a little headache.

When he drew the ice rink, he actually discovered that... this place might be where Miki Shiraha would appear.

But then he thought, there are so many ice skating rinks in Tokyo, and it is summer vacation, so he may not be able to find one.

You know, it is actually very difficult for two people to meet by chance in a big city like Tokyo without making an appointment in advance.

"Miki Shiraha?"

Just then, someone suddenly called out a name.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was Yamamoto Daiki.

"do you know her?"

Matsushita Hitomi was a little surprised when she saw her boyfriend's reaction.

Her boyfriend is a big and strong man. He is usually interested in video games, fitness, fighting skills and other things. He knows basically nothing about celebrities and beauties.

Yamamoto Daiki nodded and explained, "She is a celebrity in Hokkaido. She is a beautiful figure skating genius who became famous at a young age. She won the Neon Junior Figure Skating Championship at the age of ten, and won the World Championship for Junior Women at the age of fifteen. Every city in Hokkaido was shocked by this."

"Wow!"

When Shiina Lan heard these introductions, she couldn't help but be amazed. She looked at the white-haired beauty on the field again, full of admiration and envy.

She admires powerful people... Because she knows her own incompetence, she is particularly interested in stories about strong people and geniuses.

"Is she that powerful?"

Ichinose Yuki smacked her lips in amazement.

She had an impression of Miki Shiraha... She knew that this white-haired sister was an excellent student at the University of Tokyo and a junior of Guang Ge. She also knew that this sister was her potential rival in love.

But what she never expected was that this sister won the national championship in figure skating at the age of ten and the world champion at the age of fifteen. Isn’t that too amazing?

I always feel that every girl around Brother Guang is very capable.

"She's really amazing. Hokkaido was almost praising her to the sky. Unfortunately, she suddenly retired three years ago. It was said that she broke her leg while practicing figure skating... Since then, she has never participated in any competitions and even disappeared. I didn't expect that she would come to Tokyo, and she is still skating, and skating so well!"

The dusty memories were awakened. Seeing the figure of Miki Baiyu, Yamamoto Daiki took two steps forward and leaned on the fence, feeling a little excited.

"There is also this matter..."

When Kurosawa Hikaru heard this, he looked at Miki Shiraha on the field with some surprise, his eyes wandering on her bandaged thighs and knees.

Compared to his glorious past, what concerned him more was the injury.

If he had seen it correctly, when they met for the second time at the camera store, Miki Shiraha was probably not practicing figure skating because she was injured.

Maybe he doesn't know much about figure skating, but he knows very well that every competitive sport will be accompanied by various kinds of injuries.

It is common for athletes to get injured.

That's right, he didn't care much about the injury.

Because her injury didn't seem to be very serious, she probably just hurt her knee, so she felt a little awkward when walking. When she stood on tiptoes to help him hold the spotlight, her whole body was tense and she looked like she was in pain.

But if the old injuries haven’t healed and new injuries occur... then the problem becomes serious and worrying.

"She broke her leg before. Where did she fall?"

Thinking of this, Kurosawa Mitsuru couldn't help but feel irritated and asked involuntarily.

"The knee. Look, her knee is still wrapped in a bandage... Is it the injury from that time? Has it not healed yet?"

When Daiki Yamamoto saw the appearance of his childhood goddess, he immediately forgot about the duel and the grudges, and instead became worried.

For professional athletes, their attention is often highly focused in sports that require high concentration and intense activity. During the game, no matter what happens in the audience, they will not care.

But competition is competition, and training is training, and there are still subtle differences.

Miki Shiraha, who was concentrating on training, glided at a constant speed, swayed with the movements of his feet, then took off into the air and tried to jump forward.

Her movements are graceful, light and smooth.

But just as she was spinning in the air, a figure appeared out of the corner of her eye.

Perhaps the residual light at that moment is like sitting in a car moving at a very high speed and watching the trees flash by outside the window. It is difficult to see clearly and it is not noticed.

But what if this tree is special in both shape and color?

"Kurosawa-senpai?"

Even though it was just a blurry outline that flashed by, Miki Baiyu still noticed it and was shocked.

As the answer came to his mind, Miki Baiyu, who was spinning in the air, instinctively turned his head to look.

"!"

As her head moved at unnatural angles, Kurosawa Mitsuru was startled.

Maybe his skating skills are not permanent yet, but just a trial card... But with the skates in his hand, his understanding of skating is triggered.

That's right, he knows very well that in skating, jumping is one of the most attractive moves for the audience, but it is also a very difficult move.

When jumping in figure skating, one must master the rhythm before taking off, because this action is very risky. Once a mistake is made, one may suffer serious injury if one is not careful.

The next moment, Miki Shiraha landed, but she did not fall to the ground. Instead, she landed on both feet after a triple jump.

The landing was not perfect and the body was a little unbalanced.
