[Flower card love] turned into a thousand winds

Reese's third round ended with a [-]-[-] win.It's just that the only one who lost was Taichi Mashima.

The gap of 17 pieces, what this result means to Tai Yi, no one knows.But judging from the expression on his face that closed his eyes and silently took a deep breath, it seemed that such a defeat was not as unacceptable as he had imagined.

After the game is the customary salute, and then the players exit.The atmosphere of Ruize people gathered in the lounge was indescribably tense.

"It doesn't matter to Mashima." Nishida said while eating the char siew buns that Hanano bought from the cafeteria, "But if the other party is Shin Watani, he is really unlucky."

It is Xi Tian's habit to replenish food after each game. Unfortunately, the meat buns in the cafeteria have been sold out, leaving only barbecued pork buns to barely replace.

Hanano bent her willow eyebrows, and her eyes hadn't faded from the redness from just now: "Mashima-senpai is too pitiful, what should we do in the next two games? Speaking of which, why was Mashima-senpai the only one who lost this time?" , It doesn’t matter if you lose another one, at least Mashima-senpai will feel better.”

"Student Hanano, what nonsense are you talking about!" Xiao Zou snapped at her, "It doesn't matter if you lose the game. As long as you stand on that court, no matter how strong your opponent is, no one wants to lose on purpose." Yes, you have been playing Kapai for a year, so you should understand the truth. The minister will definitely not want his teammates to deliberately lose the game."

"But, but..." Hanano's tears were still falling down.It wasn't that she didn't understand, she just watched from a distance that the person she yearned for was so lonely and helpless on the field, and she felt ashamed that she couldn't even pass any power to him.

"There are still 30 minutes until the semi-final against Beiyang. Everyone should adjust their emotions first. Mashima is a trustworthy person, and he will never be defeated because of this."

Komano Tsutomu clapped his hands a few times as he spoke, gathered everyone in Ruize together, and began to discuss the format of the next round of competition.

After the attention was slightly diverted, the atmosphere in the lounge finally calmed down and became normal.

Mahiru, who has been standing by the side without a word, feels like a stranger who stays out of the matter, even if he wants to encourage, he can't say it, even if he wants to comfort him, he doesn't know what to say.Yu Ye on the side probably feels the same as her.Mahiru sighed silently, this is probably the sorrow of the newcomer, although it was a good trainee, but he always felt that he was out of place.

Can such a self really fall in love with Gepai?Mahiru couldn't help but start to doubt.

She suddenly felt a chill on her arm, her heart skipped a beat, and in a blink of an eye she saw Yu Ye standing beside her suddenly holding her arm.

Yu Ye's hands were colder than expected, and his fingers were a little cold, maybe it was because of the iced drink he had just had.He cast a knowing look at Mahiru, then pulled her up, and led her to the door naturally.

There were people coming and going in the corridor outside the lounge, and Mahiru and Tamano seemed somewhat inconspicuous among the crowd.As soon as he walked out the door, he put down her arm, retreated to the window sill and said, "It's better not to go in and disturb them."

So he was thinking about the seniors and the seniors?Mahiru couldn't help but look at Tamano with admiration.

The wind outside the window was blowing slowly, but it couldn't dispel the hotness in the air.Mahiru followed Tamano nonchalantly through the promenade, climbed the steps, and walked through the crowded venue, the scenery in front of her was like scrolls of pictures.Some teams that have already lost the game began to pack up and return to the hotel one after another. I heard that there will be a one-day individual competition here tomorrow, and the strongest players among the high school students will also appear.Mahiru originally thought that people like Ayase-senpai and Minister Mashima were powerful enough, but she never thought that there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky. The world of Karata is really hard to look up at.

When passing by someone, Tamano's cell phone fell to the ground with a thud.

The girl on the opposite side bent down to pick it up, and then stared blankly at the bead chain that fell on the phone for a second.

"Is しのぶ your name?"

Yu Ye, who took the phone, stared blankly at the girl with slightly permed hair on the opposite side, and replied, "Yes, do you have any questions?"

The other party shook his head, a spotless smile appeared on his slightly pale face: "No, it's just a coincidence."

Before the two could react, the girl wearing an unknown high school uniform turned her back.It was only then that Mahiru realized that she was really thin, almost comparable to a person like her who was called malnourished since childhood.

She couldn't help but look up at her a few more times, wondering in her heart, is that person also a player of Gepai?

Tamano beside him gritted his teeth, and Mahiru saw that his hand was tightly grasping the returned mobile phone.

After a long time, he opened his mouth and said to her: "Mahiru, do you still remember what the seniors said when they met for the first time?"

"what?"

"The current queen of Kara has the same name as me."

There was a period of blankness in his mind, and then as if he had been hit by something, Mahiru returned to look at the leaving figure again.

Is that girl the current queen of Gepa Wakamiya Shichang?The goal that Ayase-senpai dreams of, the one that all high school students want to beat.Mahiru covered her slightly open mouth with her hand.

"I might not go to the next game." Yu Ye said to himself.

"why?"

He didn't answer Mahiru's question, but his expression was full of blood.He turned around and walked towards an open lounge, and the girl who didn't understand why could only walk in behind him.

Yu Ye's so-called not watching the next game, just not going to the scene to watch the game.At this moment, he knelt down in the lounge covered with tatami mats, unwrapped a hundred singing cards that had been put aside by someone, and spread them neatly on the floor one by one.

"Is it alright for Tamano-kun to come in casually like this?" Mahiru pulled his sleeve nervously, "I don't know what kind of school lounge this is, their backpacks are still here, and they should be back soon."

Yu Ye didn't answer the girl, but put all the cards in front of him carefully, and then turned on the small wall-mounted TV on the side with the remote control.

The semi-finals are being broadcast from the four cameras on the small TV.In recent years, due to the increase of Kappa lovers, the seats in the venue, especially the competitions in the final circle of the team competition and individual competition, have been fully occupied. Therefore, the committee has installed such wall-mounted TVs in eye-catching positions in each lounge and corridor. Live matches.

Not long after, the semifinals between Ruize and Beiyang began.The familiar figure of Ruize's team members appeared on the screen. Mashima Taichi stood at the front with a very calm expression on his face. No matter how a boy in the opposing team who looked like a thin monkey canceled the provocation, he would not be moved.

"Mashima-senpai is such an amazing person." Tamano stared straight at the screen, sighing silently.

Tamano has always been a proud person, and this is the first time Mahiru has heard such praise from him.Recalling the first time I took the entrance exam with him in the classroom, the guy who had been sluggish and lazy unexpectedly completed the exam paper with full marks.He has a pair of very smart eyes, and he has unexpected talents both in learning and singing cards.It's really surprising that such a self-satisfied and arrogant person would admire another person from the bottom of his heart.

Tamano didn't notice Mahiru's reaction, but still stared at Majima on the screen and said slowly: "When I was studying abroad, I joined the volleyball club. It's kind of funny, I have a physique like this, in those tall and High and strong foreigners are the main attackers in the team. Our team is not strong, but because of the hard work in training and the cooperation of everyone, we finally made it to the regional finals of the middle school.”

The first time I heard about his past from Tamano, Mahiru couldn't help being surprised.

"At that time, I was the head of the volleyball department, and my teammates trusted me very much, but I was injured in a practice before a final." Yu Ye said and raised his right hand, which can't see the slightest scar now There may have been thick bandages on his hands.

"During the finals, I ran away. I betrayed my teammates and my team."

"Huh?" Mahiru opened his eyes wide, seeing Yu Ye's slightly furrowed brows, and his heart became a ball.

He gradually turned to the girl, with a sad expression on his face: "Compared to Mashima-senpai, a minister like me is really bad enough. Not only escaped from the finals, but even fled back to Japan. To join any club, to be honest, even when invited by seniors to Omi Jingu, most of them came with the mentality of watching a good show. Mahiru, I am a useless person, you will look down on me."

"Will not."

"..."

"I won't look down on Tamano-kun." Mahiru was sitting opposite him, looking straight at him and said, "Because isn't Tamano-kun particularly regretful now? With such a mood, I miss my companions on the other side of the ocean. They will surely forgive you."

He gradually clenched his hands on the tatami, and then closed his eyes forcefully, as if he wanted to completely clear everything in his mind.When he opened his eyes again, Mahiru saw his own reflection in his pupils which became clearer.

"If Tamano-kun wants to start over in Utabe, I will accompany you."

She couldn't help holding his hand.It is probably caused by the souls of Shimanto people. Once you see a vulnerable person in front of you, you must hold their hands tightly and encourage them to say: "You can do it, you will definitely do it." This is one of the rules of Shimanto people three.

"So, let's join Utaratabe together, Tamano-kun. Here, you will definitely be able to find yourself again." The girl said firmly.

Then, she felt her hand was held backwards, and her knuckles tightened.

"Thank you." She heard Yu Ye say to her.

Tamano was in the waiting room simulating the game broadcast on TV, while Mahiru stepped back outside to help him wind up.

Suppressing the ups and downs of her chest, she took a deep breath of the fresh air in the corridor.Slightly raised his head to look at the blue sky outside the opposite window, there was a black cicada on the tender green leaves, flapping its wings desperately.It is said that cicadas lived alone in the soil when they were young. One day, they will break out of the ground and find a blue sky of their own.It's a pity that their life under the sky can only last for seven days. Although it is only seven short days, they can experience the most beautiful feeling in their life.

A person's life is naturally different from that of a cicada. There are joys, pains, loneliness, and gains.But Mahiru believes that the reason why people are human is because they have to deal with countless groups in this world, to experience those ups and downs, and then one day, they will tell themselves that they have grown up.In those pages and chapters that belong to youth, what kind of imprint can they leave on each other?

Maybe Gepai will be an unknown road.

Just as he was thinking, there was a sound of playful footsteps at the end of the corridor.A group of tall boys came over, and Mahiru took a closer look, and it turned out to be everyone from Tate Fujioka.

Immediately, there was a feeling that the road to enemies was narrow, and the girl lowered her head, trying to reduce her sense of existence.Unexpectedly, after a while, several boys from Li Fujioka gathered around her and said, "Who are you looking for when you stand in front of our lounge?"

As if struck by lightning, Mahiru turned her head to look at the card on the door, which read "Ritookahigashi High School Lounge" impressively.

This time it's really hard to argue, Yu Ye chose Li Fujioka who had just been defeated by Ruize, and now he is still occupying the TV and singing cards in their lounge, and the battle is in full swing.

"Hey, you seem to be from Ruize." One of them noticed Mahiru's team uniform, and the print of the king on the chest made her face suddenly turn red.

"Why do people from Ruize come to us? Aren't your teammates in the semi-finals?"

"Ah! Did you come here to find the new seniors? What's the matter? Did you fall in love with our new seniors during the competition just now? Do you want to transfer to Fukui? We don't have any girls in many songs, so pitiful."

"Yeah, the new senior himself made such a beautiful girlfriend in Tokyo, but it's really disgusting to let us play bachelors."

"Speaking of which, don't you think Ruize's minister, ah, Mashima is a good match for the new senior's girlfriend?"

"Yeah, as the opponent of the new senior, he is indeed very qualified."

"By the way, the new senior has said that he wants to win this year's Celebrity Challenge. It seems that a university in Tokyo has recruited him recently. Is it true that he wants to wait until he is admitted to the university and go to Tokyo to live with his girlfriend? "

"Yes, yes, otherwise, wouldn't you be very worried, the other party is stepping on two boats or something."

"It's terrible, it's terrible..."

For some reason, the people opposite suddenly changed the topic to such gossip.Mahiru hadn't even opened his mouth to say a word yet, yet he was able to go so far.I heard that the people in Fukui have always been recognized as being honest and optimistic, but they just lost the game but showed no scruples. It seems that this is true.

"Hey, let me tell you guys."

Suddenly, a female voice from behind stopped the conversation of several Tatsuoka boys.They all turned around to look, only to see a slender girl with black hair standing opposite her.

The girl's face was slightly pale, and a pair of slender eyes slowly lifted up, creating a huge sense of oppression in the air.

"When talking about right and wrong behind others, can you not turn up the volume so loudly, it will disturb other people, won't it?"

Being scolded casually by the girl, all the people stood on their heads without any hair on their heads.

Just when everyone didn't know what was wrong, a tall and thin figure came from around the corner.

The handsome young man with glasses was taken aback when he saw the crowd gathered in front of the lounge, and then turned his eyes to the girl who said cold words: "Shi Chang, why are you here? The birdman competition is not played today. Cancel the rain."

The girl called "Shi Chang" glanced at the man coldly, folded her hands on her chest, and said, "Yeah, it's rare that I want to come to support some idiot's team, and it's too early to lose so quickly. It's disappointing. It caused me to lose the account of the birdman competition, how are you going to settle it with me?"

"Well..." Shin Miyatani laughed shyly, he stroked the back of his head, ashamed of the girl.

Shi Chang walked towards Shin Miantani from the clear path left by the other team members of Li Fujioka who automatically dodged on both sides, and pushed his backpack in front of him with one hand: "Anyway, treat me to dinner first, anyway, your game is over, right?" .”

"But my purse is still in the hotel."

"Huh? What a useless man, can you eat lunch in the cafeteria for free just because you are a player?" hairy and messy teenager.

"Senior, I still have meal tickets here, why don't you use them first..."

With the rescue of his teammates, Miyatani finally got the approval of the girl's silence.The backs of the two gradually drifted away on the long corridor, until they were separated by a long distance, and their quiet conversation could still be heard.

"I heard you're going to Tokyo."

"Where is Shi Chang? What do you plan to do after graduation?"

"Kyoto."

"Really, you really like Kyoto."

"Yeah, naturally stronger than the traitors in your hometown."

As the conversation faded away at the end of the corridor, Mahiru heard the short first-year boy among the group of people standing beside her suddenly say: "Oh my God, maybe someone who is in two boats , it is not necessarily a new senior."
