Tokyo's most affectionate

"What I just said was not to compete with you, but to cheer you up."

Seeing her reaction, Kurosawa Hikaru felt helpless and reached out to pinch her little face.

For her, this game is her first game after retiring due to injury. Her competitive state is unclear, so she needs more encouragement.

"Senior, you're still in the mood to cheer me up. You're so relaxed, right? This is obviously your first time participating in a figure skating competition."

Bending down to take out his shoulder bag from the trunk, Miki Baiyu realized his purpose and couldn't help but say.

“Do I look relaxed?”

After pressing the automatic closing button of the trunk, Kurosawa Mitsuru said in confusion.

"It's not just relaxing..."

Miki Baiyu nodded and looked at him in surprise.

Although not being nervous on the field is the competitive state that every player pursues...but the senior is too relaxed.

Looking at his look and expression, he was the same as usual. People who didn't know him would think he was here to watch the game, not to participate.

"Because this is a small competition, there's no need to be nervous."

Kurosawa Hikaru was indeed feeling very relaxed, because the mastery-level skating and mastery-level ballet, as well as the extra training he had done these days before the competition day, gave him unlimited confidence.

In the past at the Budokan, he attracted cheers from the whole audience with his perfect archery skills. Experiencing the peak moment elevated his vision and mentality.

Not to mention that this is a small figure skating pairs competition in the Kanto region, even if it is the Winter Olympics or the World Championships final, he will not be likely to be stage fright.

The pressure that the competition brought him was not even as great as meeting his parents.

"you're right."

Miki Baiyu was stunned when he heard this, then reacted.

Yes, this is a small competition, held in various regions of Japan to promote the sport of skating.

And although she is still very famous, she has retired for many years and no longer shoulders the expectations of countless people like she did in the past.

It doesn't matter even if they fail to win the championship in this competition. After all, they have only been learning pair skating for a short time, about half a month at most... If we really talk about training time, it has only been a few days.

As this thought came to her mind, the frown on her brows relaxed a little.

"Let's go."

Kurosawa Hikaru saw that her frown relaxed slightly, and he finally calmed down, locked the car and started walking.

Although it was his first time to visit Yoyogi National Gymnasium and he had no idea the way there, this did not stop him from walking without hesitation.

Because there are some signboards on the road showing the way, as long as you are not blind or illiterate, you can definitely reach the stadium by following the signs.

"Uh-huh."

Seeing him walking first, Sanmu Baiyu immediately followed him.

Chapter 538: Hitting the wall

Yoyogi National Gymnasium is a large venue that has hosted many well-known sporting events.

The pairs skating competition will start at 9:30.

There was still more than an hour left before the game started, and the backstage and corridors of the venue were extremely lively.

Tall, slender beauties with graceful curves can be seen everywhere here, as if it were the backstage of a beauty pageant.

There are also many tall, strong and handsome guys with a certain temperament, and you can even see pretty boys occasionally.

Figure skating is different from basketball, football and other sports because you have to practice dancing from a young age and many skating moves require a long time of practice. Basically everyone has a good figure, and both men and women are handsome.

When Kurosawa Hikaru and Miki Shiraha came to the backstage where tourists were prohibited from entering, people turned their heads to look at them wherever they went.

First, Miki Shiraha is too famous.

Perhaps he retired due to injury and has faded from the public eye for more than three years, but the athletes who come to participate in the competition specifically all have a passion for figure skating.

Hokkaido's figure skating princess once had such brilliant fame and achievements that everyone, young or old, has more or less seen her competition videos.

Second, this pairing is so pleasing to the eyes.

Their appearance seems to represent the pinnacle of appearance. It is not just about being pretty and handsome, but super beautiful and super handsome.

Many players met acquaintances and had friendly exchanges and laughter before the game.

Even in Japan, figure skating is very famous and is a national sport, but there are still very few people who really put their heart and soul into it, put in the effort to practice, and participate in competitions.

This is a small circle, and since this is a competition in the Kanto region, the circle is even smaller, and the contestants are usually familiar faces.

In such a small circle, any little bit of news will be known.

For example, Shiroha Miki practiced pair skating with a male partner at the foreign aid skating rink in Tokyo, and she skated very well. This rumor was also known by all the players.

"She actually came to participate in this kind of competition, and as a pair skater..."

Although it had been heard before, some people were still shocked when they actually saw Miki Baiyu coming to the contestants' backstage.

In this era, there are too many false news based on hearsay, and many people do not take the rumors seriously.

That's right, when the truth appears before our eyes, it really catches us off guard.

"She gave up single skating and started pair skating instead... Doesn't she think she's a genius in pair skating?"

Some people felt very unbalanced when they saw the scene.

Athletes are often competitive, otherwise they wouldn't be able to endure the hard training.

"Where did she find this male companion? His conditions are too good."

There was a petite and cute girl who was really amazed and deeply attracted to Kurosawa Hikaru's appearance.

"Good looks don't mean good conditions. If you look good but are useless, what's the point?"

The male companion who followed her felt very uncomfortable when he heard this. He crossed his arms and snorted sourly.

"Miki is so beautiful..."

There was a boy who saw Miki Baiyu and was really fascinated by her.

"You like her so much, why don't you go skate with her."

Hearing this, the female companion immediately became unhappy.

This pair isn't the only one having this kind of reaction.

Pair skating is very similar to pair dancing, both require cooperation between men and women, and they must spend every day together and practice together.

Out of 10 pairs, usually 5 will become lovers... For the remaining 5 pairs, even if they have not yet become lovers, their relationship will be very ambiguous, more than friends but less than lovers.

In this situation, who can stand seeing their companions being attracted to other people?

"Figure Skating Princess, I started learning figure skating after watching your competition videos. Could you please sign an autograph for me?"

Just then, a female fan plucked up the courage and stepped forward to block the way.

Miki Shiraha was very friendly to the fan and gave her an autograph on the spot.

After a while, they followed the signs in the passage, found the locker room, and split up for the time being.

In the locker room, someone from the organizer was in charge of management. He used his mobile phone to confirm the player number and opened the corresponding locker.

Because he had never been involved in the figure skating circle before and was unfamiliar with the place, Kurosawa Hikaru didn't communicate with anyone and just started changing clothes in front of the locker.

During daily training, he can wear whatever he wants.

But it's not the same for competitions, even if it's a small competition, the rules are the rules, serious and formal

"Who is this handsome guy? He doesn't look simple."

Seeing him walk to the cabinet, silent and taciturn, some people were attracted by his handsome appearance.

"He is Miki's male partner. I just asked around and no one recognized him. He probably has never participated in the competition."

There was a man who had already changed his clothes and followed into the locker room on purpose. When he found someone curious, he also broke the news.

"Miki? Are you talking about the Miki I know?"

"Is this true? Player Miki is coming to participate in the competition?"

“Isn’t she a singles skater?”

"Didn't she retire?"

Hearing this, there was a commotion in the locker room.

"Really? Miki is the figure skating princess of Hokkaido... I just saw her. It seems like she's going to make a comeback, switch to pairs skating, and compete with this guy."

"Why does he do that? Just because he's handsome?"

"This guy deserves to die..."

"I'll slap this little skinny monkey."

After confirming the authenticity of the news, the seven boys who were changing clothes in the locker room immediately looked at each other unfriendly.

The fan base of female stars is usually mostly male, and vice versa.

Maybe Shiraha Miki is not an artist, but she is an idol of countless people in the figure skating world.

Even if they are not single skaters, this does not affect their admiration for female figure skating athletes.

"Little skinny monkey?"

Kurosawa Hikaru put the bag in the cabinet and took out the Costen competition suit. He originally didn't care about everyone's discussions, but when he heard this comment, he was immediately happy and looked over with his attention drawn.

The man who said this was very tall, nearly 1.9 meters tall. He put on his competition suit, and his thighs and arms were muscular, looking very strong.

In the figure skating pair event, the standard height of male skaters is between 180 and 190 cm. The physical requirements are extremely high. They need to cooperate with their female partners to perform many difficult moves and are usually very strong.

The standard height for female players is around 160cm, not too tall.

The taller you are, the heavier you will inevitably be, which will bring more burden to the coordination in pair skating.

"What are you looking at?"

The man, who was 189cm tall, was caught saying harsh words by the person who was responsible and was being stared at. He was not afraid at all. His face darkened and he asked fiercely.

Kurosawa Mitsuru noticed how arrogant he was, so he didn't say anything but just looked away.

When Japanese people socialize with others in their daily lives, they are usually dull and introverted, very polite and reasonable.

People with such fierce personalities are actually rare. They may be athletes who have strong physiques and strength and think of themselves as strong people, which is why they have such hot tempers.

Immediately, he put his competition uniform in the closet and began to undress.

He grabbed the collar of the T-shirt with both hands, pulled it up, and took it off.

Because of the deliberate stretching of his body while taking off his clothes, his strong muscles were taut and full of lines, just like a cheetah stretching its muscles.

This kind of body is not as exaggerated as that of a bodybuilder, but the abdominal muscles, pectoral muscles, and biceps all obviously contain powerful explosive power.

"Would you like to have an arm wrestling match to see who is the skinny one?"

Showing off his assets, Kurosawa Hikaru turned sideways and looked at him.

He doesn't like to cause trouble, but he is never afraid of trouble.

He really enjoys being envied and jealous by others...but being looked down upon by others makes him unhappy.

Anyway, as a girl, Bai Yu takes more time to change clothes, so she can just take advantage of this free time to have some fun.

As he spoke, the envious and unhappy looks of the crowd suddenly changed, and they felt fearful. They didn't expect that this handsome man had such a strong body under his clothes.

"come."

In response to this, the arrogant man naturally had no chance of backing down.

Perhaps there is a visible difference between them in terms of body shape, but men are all competitive.

"Be careful and don't fight."

The staff in charge of managing the locker room saw this scene and only reminded them but did not stop it.

Athletes are full of vigor and like to compete. Competitions such as arm wrestling and strength tests are very common.

Because in pair skating, the male skaters are usually very strong and need to help the female skaters complete throws, lifts, spirals and other movements. Putting aside the technique, strength is very important.
