[Flower card love] turned into a thousand winds

A total of 28 colleges and universities from all over the country participated in this year's national high school Xiaocang Hundred People One Song Team Competition. To become the final winner, you must pass five consecutive reincarnation tests and win the final victory. Stand on top.

Several bunches of fireworks resounded across the sky, and dazzling flowers bloomed in the sky. All the representatives of the 28 colleges and universities stood in front of the open space of the shrine in neat team uniforms and admired this ancient building with unique significance to them.As a first-year freshman, Mahiru and Ruizawa's seniors wore the same style of white T-shirts and stood at the end of the line.

This seems to be Ruize's uniform for the new season. In addition to the customary words "Ruize will win" printed on the back of each piece of clothing, even the words "King Wang" are boldly written on the chest. typeface.Mahiru lowered her head and glanced at the pattern on her chest, then turned her gaze back to Ayase Chihaya who was at the head of the line.I heard that the design of the chest print of this uniform came from her strong suggestion.

The opening speech ended in a melodious Japanese tune, and the banner of the champion was handed over to the committee members by Chihaya.At the same time, there were timid whispers from junior players from other schools in the neighboring teams.

"That's last year's winning team, Rize."

"Huh? Are these the only ones they have?"

"Shh, I heard from seniors that Ruize's main force is only two or three kittens, and besides, they are all in the third grade this year."

"Haha, it seems that Rui Ze is about to die."

"That's right. It was a fluke that they won last year. It's a fluke. This year's champion must be Fujizaki."

"By the way, I heard that Fujizaki's first graders are very good this year."

"Which one? Ah, I really want to fight against them, even once."

A girl in a pink T-shirt beside her clasped her hands together, while the other was chirping and pointing at a certain team in the distance, completely ignoring the members of Ruize Geliu's team beside her.

It is clear that Ruize was the champion team in the high school player rights team competition last year, but such a victory does not seem to make Ruize's name leave a strong shadow in the history of the national competition. On the contrary, it is considered by some people to be a fluke have to come.This kind of contempt really made Mahiru feel unhappy. Although she didn't know much about the history of Rui Zegeliu, the hard work of the seniors vividly appeared in her mind.Whether it's Chihaya's selfless waving, Komano's thick notes, or the beautiful Waka stories told by Xiaozao, in the short one-and-a-half days of Katoritabu apprenticeship, she can use her best What my eyes clearly see is their respect for, love for and boundless enthusiasm for Gepa.However, the results obtained through hard work are easily described as "fluke" by others, which is really uncomfortable.

The loudspeaker rebroadcasted the chairman of the committee's introduction to the national competition, but the girls around him didn't seem to hear the general voice getting louder, and the unbearable Mahiru cast a sullen look at them.

Rule [-] of Shimanto City People: If the other party's words and deeds touch the bottom line, you should point it out frankly without reservation, in order to uphold justice.

"Sorry, you..."

"Don't you think your voice is too loud?"

Suddenly, almost overlapping, a male voice from in front of him suppressed Mahiru's voice.She turned her gaze to the front in a daze, only to see Shinobu Tamano, who was wearing a white T-shirt, slowly turned her head to the side, and silently looked at the girl who had just made a noise with a pair of slightly lazy eyes.His face looked a little pale, and his straight lips seemed to be sending out a warning "don't mess with me" to the other party.

The eyes of the two girls were straightened up suddenly by Tamano Shinobi, and they looked away from each other, bowing their heads in shame.

Yu Ye still seemed unwilling to stop staring at each other, pursed his lips and said: "Hey, if you are lucky enough to win Fujizaki this year, come and challenge Ruize again."

There was still nearly an hour before the start of the competition, and the end of the long corridor was already crowded with representatives from various colleges and universities.The first-round preliminaries distribution list has been announced. Except for last year's top four teams - Ruize, Fujizaki, Akashi Girls' High School and Beiyang's first-round bye, all other teams have entered the intense preparation stage.

Winning the first round without a fight will naturally give the four major colleges a break. Looking at the other three teams except Ruize, it seems that they all locked themselves in the lounge to discuss the combat strategy, but Ruize was neat and orderly. formed a circle.

Komano Tsutomu handed the two blank notebooks to Mahiru and Tamano, through the thick lens, it seemed that he could see his meticulous gaze: "Tamano-san, Yura-san, although you are not official department members yet However, you have participated in this competition as trainees of many departments of Ruize Geliu, and I hope you can also contribute to everyone."

Komano briefly explained to the two first-year freshmen the important information needed to detect hostilities, especially for the rosters of the first-year rookies of some strong teams.Originally, he thought such trivial work would be troublesome for Tamano, but he seemed to be biting his pen leisurely, and listened carefully to Komano's words without saying a word.

Twenty minutes later, the first round of the match officially began, and Mahiru was assigned to scout the battles between several colleges in Chiba, Osaka, Kanagawa, and Miyagi.She is partnered with Soko Oe. During the battle, she gave a detailed introduction to the main rules of the competitive kotatsu to Mahiru, and at the same time translated the beautiful waka from the teacher's mouth into colorful pictures.

In many parts of Ruize Geliu, Xiaozao has always been regarded as a very gentle person.But from her small face, there is no trace of childishness at all, on the contrary, it is enviable firmness and fortitude.Even Mahiru, who is a girl, can't help but fall in love with her, so she recorded the rules she said while observing the changes in the game.

The sound of clapping cards resounded one after another on the tatami, and those sounds were like the rolling waves in the waves, bringing people's thoughts into a blue silence.With the rhythmic waka chanting from the reader's mouth, the sweat falling on the tatami, and the uneven hands raised in sight across the flat shoulders, everything becomes harmonious and passionate.Mahiru couldn't help but widen his eyes, silently standing aside and staring at this world that he had never touched before.

"Does Yura have a natal card?" At this moment, the girl next to Mahiru suddenly asked.

"The natal card?"

"Among the hundred cards, the ones you want to grab anyway."

Mahiru looked at the petite girl wonderingly, and said, "Will there be? Such a card. I want to grab it no matter what..."

Xiao Zuo slightly curled up the corners of her lips: "There will be, there will definitely be."

——"If you want to cross the Yuliang Gorge, there is no trace of the boat. Wherever you go, you are like falling in love."

As the sound of waka invaded the ears, Xiaozao's tone was like moist spring rain sprinkled on the ground: "People who are intoxicated in love are always involuntary and do not know where they will end."

'The natal card that I must want to grab, one day, I... probably will have it too. '

Mahiru couldn't help thinking.

The first round of the game ended smoothly after an hour.The handbook in front of him had already been filled with several pages, Xiaozao giggled at Mahiru and said, "Your friend Yura is really serious."

Mahiru, who was exaggerated by her like this, patted the back of her head in embarrassment.

All Ruize's team members gathered together, Komano nodded and listened to Mahiru and Tamano's report seriously.Yu Ye, who was worried about not taking notes properly, unexpectedly reported the scouting situation of the first round match in detail, including the strength analysis of the opponent's players, and made his own detailed notes one by one.In the end, Komano couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Has Tamano-san really never been in touch with Ge Pai before?"

Yu Ye closed his hand account and said calmly: "This kind of game, you can almost fully understand it after watching it once."

Mahiru was secretly shocked, presumably Komano was no less surprised than her.But he faintly showed a satisfied smile, raised his head and said to Yuye: "It's great that you can come."

What makes Mahiru puzzled is whether Komano is referring to Tamano coming to participate in the internship, or coming to Ruize to become the new driving force for Utabe.

She was still thinking about Mr. Komano's words of unclear meaning, but Yuye seemed to think of something and said "ah", and then said to Komano: "By the way, does senior know this person? Fukui Li Fujioka The head of Utaritabe." Tamano suddenly stopped talking, and paused, "Watani Shin, this person."

As if struck by lightning, Tsutomu Komano adjusted his glasses, leaned over to Tamano's pocket book, and stared at the name on it.

"Hey~ Sure enough, senior knows." Yu Ye seemed to have expected Koma Ye's reaction a long time ago, took a step back, looked past Koma Ye-senpai's thin shoulders, and cast his eyes on Ruize's main force trio in the distance, "Look This person named Miyatani Shin will be the strongest enemy standing in Ruize's way to become king."

After a 10-minute break, the second round of the battle table has been posted.Ruize's opponent is Shenbei Yigao from Kyoto, a dark horse team in Kyoto this year.They defeated the three-time champion Wakaakigawa Gakuen and advanced to this year's national competition.Shenbei No. [-] High School's Utarita Department has just been formed in recent years. There are five members, one of A-level, two of B-level, and two beginners Wuduan. They are strikingly similar to Ruize who was a fledgling two years ago.

The young first-year players looked full of vigor and eagerness to challenge last year's champion.The female minister of Kamikiichi High School, who had an appearance comparable to Chihaya Ayase, led the team to shout slogans in high spirits, and standing quietly beside her was a pair of clever eyes and a heroic deputy. minister.Compared with the girls' high-profile and high-spirited, his quietness builds a better backing foundation for the whole team and gathers the trust of the whole team together.Even if he was just watching, he could clearly see that she was the leader and he was the pillar.

Such a coincidence is too similar to Rui Ze.

——"Flowers bloom in Namba Tsu, and the cold winter closes the shameful face. This spring is full of flowers, and the flowers are fragrant and fragrant."

With the sound of the prelude, the first battle of Ruize Geliu's many parts started at Omi Shrine.

Many years later, Mahiru couldn't help but think back to the first time she set foot on the Omi Shrine as a trainee. Among all the competitions, the most memorable one for her was perhaps this preliminary competition.Maybe it wasn't as tense as the final finals that made her heart stop, and it wasn't as suffocating as the battle between her predecessors and their fateful opponents, but every time she thought about it, she couldn't forget the match with Shenbei Yigao.Perhaps it was because of the rookie team from Kyoto that she saw Ruize's youthfulness, bewilderment, and frustration, but it was also this game that allowed her to see the light of life when the chicks emerged from their shells.

Following the words "Rize wins one!" "Rize wins two!"Sweat slid down the beautiful girl's forehead, and the boy beside her quietly passed the handkerchief in front of the girl.

"Jiexia, don't give up, we haven't lost yet."

His flat tone really cheered even Ruize, who was an opponent.The girl seemed to regain her courage in his painting, and took his handkerchief neatly, and made an OK gesture: "Don't underestimate me, Ah Tou, I don't lose so easily."

Although in the end, Ruize defeated Beishen Yigao with a record of complete victory and entered the third round, but the figure of the five members of Beishen Yigao bowing their heads neatly and saying "Thank you for your advice" made Ruize's players unforgettable .

Unconcealable tears filled the eyes of the girl named Jiexia. She wiped it with her hands from time to time, but it was futile.The water stains on the tatami made the girl's tense nerves slowly collapse. She covered her face and said shamefully: "It's all my fault, if there were not so many mistakes before..."

"No, if it's wrong, it should be me." The boy who was called Atou by the girl said, "It's because I failed to win a victory first to boost the morale of the team."

"no."

The two voices on the opposite side of the tatami at the same time made the male and female ministers of Beishen Yigao slightly taken aback.In front of them, the ponytailed girl and the coral-haired boy refuted their mutual blame in unison.At this time, they seemed to realize that the woman with exaggerated expression and the man with gentle face in front of them seemed to symbolize their future.

"Everyone of the North God, you are not weak, please continue to work hard next year."

A ray of dazzling sunlight shines on the tatami through the refraction of the glass, creating a long halo line.It seems that it is this emptiness line that has spanned two years, reflecting the maturity between the eyebrows of girls and boys.Tears are still in the eyes. For the losers, those tears are not so sad, because they are worthy of their own efforts. Everyone in Ruize who has fought against them believes that there will be many copies of Beishen Yigao's song. There must be a bright future.

Unknowingly, the time was approaching noon, and the third round of the competition, which was stipulated to start at [-]:[-] noon, greatly affected the appetite of the contestants.Looking at the entire Ruize Geliutabu, except for Tamano and Nishida Yuzheng who had to eat to calm down, everyone seemed to have a loss of appetite.Taiyi and Chihaya just replenished some water and started preparing for the next match.

Chihaya's attention seems to stay somewhere in the distance from time to time, which makes Taiyi very concerned.Although he tried his best to appear calm, he could still inadvertently notice his slightly furrowed brows and the disappointment in his eyes.

"Mahiru also thinks it's weird, why are the two of them so absent-minded?" Tamano's voice suddenly came from beside him, he appeared next to the girl with a piece of baguette in his mouth, his arms folded, but his eyes were fixed. Chihaya and Taichi were staring at the front.

Mahiru looked at Yuye silently, his sharp-edged profile became clear in her sight.

"Tamano-kun knows the reason?"

"What they care about should be that person called Mitani Shin."

"Watani?" Except for hearing it from Tamano's report after the first round, this name was completely unfamiliar to Mahiru.

"From Komano-senpai's expression, we can tell a little bit that the relationship between Ayase-senpai and Mashima-san must be unusual with Watatani-san."

"Is it too arbitrary to infer it just like this?"

Just as Mahiru was asking questions, the match list for the third round had already been posted.

The eight participating teams that entered the third round rushed forward, and Mahiru also squeezed behind the crowd, standing on tiptoe to see the name of the opponent's school clearly.

At this moment, Yu Ye behind him put his hand on her shoulder lightly.Then, she heard his voice coming from her ear: "It's Tatsuoka, Rui Ze's opponent in the next round is Tatsuoka Utakutabe led by Shin Watani."

Mahiru's heart trembled slightly, and his eyes met Tamano's slightly curled mouth.

"Finally there is a good show to watch." He said a little excitedly.
