The competition clubhouse was unusually quiet, and everyone showed expressions of astonishment without any surprise.

With a "crash", the person who opened the sliding door from the side was Sudou Akto.He had a gloomy face, probably overheard the newly announced second round of the truce when he was standing outside the door.

"Watani, are you underestimating me?"

"Yeah, Shin, why did you do that?" Chihaya stood up hesitantly, with an ugly expression no less than that of Sudou.

"He wants to stand on the same starting line as you." The person who suddenly interrupted was Yui Toyama. Standing in front of Chihaya, her long and narrow eyes shifted from Chihaya's body to the man behind her, "It's a pity that it's useless." Yes, even if you abstain from the second round, she has no chance of winning, and in the end it will only end like losing two rounds."

"Why do you know?" This time the interrogator was replaced by Sudou.

Yuan Shanwei replied without blinking his eyes: "Because the one who challenges Wakamiya Shichang in the end and defeats her can only be me."

Xin seemed to understand something from Yuan Shanyui's expression, and asked suspiciously: "Does Yuan Shan...know Shi Chang?"

"Why..." Yuan Shanwei subconsciously looked away.

The expression on Xin's face was quiet and peaceful: "It's just that I have this feeling, I always feel that you and Shi Chang are very similar in many places, maybe..."

"A ghost is like her!" Yui Yuanshan interrupted the new words angrily, she clasped her knuckles tightly with her thumb, and roared, "I, I have always hated her existence! That selfish The self-interested man! The lingering man! The . . . "

"what?"

Yuan Shanwei stopped his voice in astonishment, turned around, and stopped talking. Chihaya could only see from her trembling back that she seemed to be holding back a strong emotion in her heart.

This series of sudden incidents made everyone present unable to react in time. First, the representative of West Japan in the Masters Tournament suddenly stopped, and then the representative of West Japan in the Queens Tournament unexpectedly went into a rage.It seems that there are too many omens, all revealing that this year's competition will become bloody.

When everyone dared not breathe, Xin still maintained a calm expression.He turned to Sudou, bowed and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Sudeng, I know you must be feeling uncomfortable right now. Probably no one here can understand your unwillingness better than me."

Following the new words, everyone focused their attention on him.

In last year's East-West Japan Representative Decision Match, East Japan's representative Hideo Harada gave up the second match after winning the first match against Shin Watani.At that time, Xin was in the same position as Sudou now, and the repression, shame, and hesitation mixed in his heart were no less than Sudou's.However, it is precisely because of this that he knows that only when a person is driven to a desperate situation can he truly display his strength.

"Because Sudou-kun said, I will repay you twice in the future, so please forgive my willfulness." Shin bent down deeply, expressing his sincerity to Sudou.

"That's all." Sudou put his hands on his hips, turned his head and said, "Anyway, just wait a while so you don't regret your decision now." He paused, and turned his gaze to Chihaya in the distance, "In exchange, Ayase, you can Don’t embarrass East Japan.”

"I……"

"Chihaya, come on."

Xin lightly pressed Chihaya's shoulder, the whisper-like voice pierced her eardrums and stabbed her nerves straight.

She turned her head and looked at Xinyi's unchanging eyes, those eyes as deep as sea water seemed to transmit him an extremely powerful force, which made her instantly relieved from the panic just now.

She is not fighting alone.

Qianzao clearly heard the inner voice at that moment.No matter when, no matter where, she has her most precious companion by her side.Those two little teenagers would always stand on the same side of the horizontal line as her, facing the people on the other side of the card array.Xin is right, the three of them have always been a community of destiny.

"Xiao Wei, let's have a showdown!"

Chihaya pointed to Yui Toyama, and said a classic line that was repeated countless times by the protagonist in the hot-blooded boy manga.

The next second match was like a story that every inspirational manga would show. Although Chihaya and Yui Toyama were the only queen representative contestants left to compete, she was able to win every match. Both offense and defense showed a completely different strength from the first game.

Obviously there are two friendly cards for both the own team and the enemy team, but when he heard the first word, Chihaya made a move.Yui Toyama found it difficult to keep up with her speed.However, once the previously maintained pace and rhythm are disrupted, the subsequent offense and defense will become even more exhausting.

With seven consecutive wins, Chihaya gained a huge lead.

For the first time, Yui Toyama picked up a towel beside her and began to wipe off her sweat. Judging from the pale expression on her face, she was indeed cornered by the sudden eruption of the girl in front of her.She clenched her teeth tightly, and her back began to tremble uncontrollably.

When the opponent once again captured a card of his own, Toyama Yui buried his head and let out a "hateful" muttering to himself.The voice was as thin as a mosquito moaning, probably no one heard it except Chihaya.

Chihaya raised her hand and handed out her big mountain card.Then, as expected, the other party responded with cold eyes and glaring.

"Xiao Wei seems to be right-handed."

"What?" Yui Toyama was slightly taken aback, unaware of Chihaya's thoughtless question.

Chihaya didn't pay too much attention, but continued to smile and said: "Because Shi Chang is left-handed, so although your cards are very similar, I discovered that you and her are completely different people."

"Eh?" Toyama Yui widened his eyes, looking at the pretty girl in front of him.

"You have strengths that Shi Chang doesn't have, didn't Xiao Wei realize it?"

As if a vast ocean suddenly poured into his chest, Yuan Shan felt that he couldn't breathe.She couldn't make out what the girl just opposite said to her, and couldn't even see her expression clearly.For a moment, she felt that she was in a blank virtual space, where she kept walking and wandering, and then saw a door, she stood on tiptoe, stretched out her hand, but still couldn't reach the doorknob .

She turned into a four or five-year-old, wearing a kindergarten uniform and a small yellow hat, sitting in front of the steps where the rain was pouring, waiting for her mother.The sky was as black as ink, and all the children in the same class had been taken home by their parents, but she was sitting there alone, holding a worn-out puppet toy in her hand.

They said that because she didn't have a father, she was always alone until late.She had no way to refute, so she could only rub her red eye sockets, and kept suppressing her sobs.

She really doesn't have a father. Since she can remember, she has only her mother by her side.Mom needs to work, otherwise there is no way to support her.So she can only endure loneliness, only one person.

After crying for an unknown amount of time, she heard a ticking sound coming from the eaves in front of her. She raised her head and saw a tall and handsome man standing in front of her with wet hands towards her.

"Sorry, Xiaowei, something happened in the shop where your mother works. There is no way to pick you up. It rained suddenly just now, and I was a little lost. She only gave me this address. Anyway, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

The man's incoherent words almost caused him to be thought by the nursery school teacher to be a villain and call the police. After finally explaining his identity and obtaining confirmation with Haruko Toyama, they gave the girl to him with confidence.

In the end, the two of them could only go home with a small umbrella. The man didn't bring an umbrella. Although he said that it didn't matter if he got a little rain, she still handed her small umbrella to the man.

He carried her on his back and lifted her high on his shoulders.She held him an umbrella, at least to keep his artist hair drenched.

Only later did she know that that person was her mother's remarriage partner, Yuichiro Toyama.

A year later, my mother became the bride of that person, and she was naturalized along with her, and her surname was changed to "Yuanshan".

Before that, her impression of that man was only on his pale face and faint smile, and her address for him changed from "Yuichiro" to "Uncle" and finally "Dad".

She is very happy that she has a father, and after entering elementary school, all her friends envy her for having such a handsome father.

"Xiao Wei, you really look like your father."

That's what she likes to hear the most.

Regardless of blood relationship, she felt that Yuichiro was her father, unique.

Until later, Wakamiya Shichang appeared.

"The Youngest Queen of the Karuta World Is Born!" ", the newspaper that published this news was placed in Yuichiro's studio, and she occasionally saw it when she came home from school.At that time, she was just wondering why Yuichiro, who never liked to read the news, had a newspaper in his studio, but when she saw the photo of the 15-year-old young queen, she seemed to suddenly understand something.

The person named "Shi Chang" looks more similar to Yuichiro than himself.

She knew that her father had a daughter, and at that moment, she was almost sure that Ruogong Shichang was his daughter.Moreover, her father has been thinking about her until now.

Deep jealousy overwhelmed her mind, she imitated Shi Chang, from words and deeds to manners, she joined the Geluduo Club, and set up in her heart the idea that one day she would replace her.But in fact, she knows that everything she does is constantly proving her incompetence. The more she fears losing something, the easier it is to leave it. This is the unchanging truth of the world, and so is the human heart.

She is always just a fake, and will always be forgotten in the corner.

However, at this time, someone told her: "You and Shi Chang are completely different people. You have strengths that Shi Chang doesn't have."

She once again focused her gaze on the girl in front of her. Compared with her humble self, she was too dazzling.

She lost, lost to herself who was a frog in a well.

"The second round of the Queen's Representative Tournament is over, and East Japan representative Chihaya Ayase wins!"

After a long battle, there was an untouchable noise in the vast sky.The representatives of East Japan and West Japan are facing the final battle to decide their own destiny!
