In the 16th to 8th round, Tachibana successfully advanced in three consecutive games. However, since it was the first match, he was required to play five games, so the final score between Tachibana and Maikozaka was 5-0.
On August 21st, in the semi-finals, Lihai once again played with the same lineup and won. At this time, people really looked forward to this magical team led by a first-year minister.
"Li Hai is so strong. I feel like I have the strength to win the national championship."
"That's for sure. Both games were 3-0. The minister and deputy minister have not yet Come on, Makino is in danger this year."
"Maki's strength is obviously not as good as last year. This change of leadership has a huge impact."
"It's also a change of leadership, so how can I stand up? It’s even more powerful.”
“That Hyokui is not bad either. The entire first-year lineup was able to beat Makinofuji 3-1, and it almost ended in a singles match. It was really close. , It's all the way to the tiebreaker."
"Yes! This is really a pity! It's just a little bit worse. Maybe Ice Emperor can advance even if it's delayed to singles! Their minister defeated all the main candidates to get to this position, so he must be very strong!"
"Hey, after all, it is a first-year team, and it is not bad for the top eight."
"Speaking of first-year students, the two first-year students in Shishi Le are also very strong this year!"
"Ah! I know what you are talking about! It's the Tachibana Jupei and Chitose Chisato, right?" < /p>
"That's right, even though they are first-year students, they have already become the ace tag team of Lion Music. Many people now call them the Kyushu Double Heroes, which sounds very majestic."
"The groups are out! The semi-finals are Rikkai VS Shishi Raku, Makinoto VS Shitenhoji!"
"With a bottle of Coke, I bet on the Shishi Raku champion. The Kyushu duo will be unstoppable."
"I bet on Li Hai! Their deputy minister is not easy to mess with at first glance!"
"Then I bet on Makinoto defending the championship!"
" Uh...Is it so bad in four days? I bet on four days. In terms of stability, it must be four days. Other schools have changed too much and it's hard to judge."
...
< p> I don’t know how many people in Lihai have listened to such conversations along the way, but no matter what others say, it can’t affect them at all. After all, they are now full of confidence in their own strength, and this confidence is based on countless actual combat and data analysis. What you get is not blind confidence."Eh? Aren't there people from Hyōtei in front of you?" Everyone looked in the direction Marui pointed, and sure enough they saw Hyōtei's main candidates gathered beside a roadside flower bed, seemingly discussing something. matter.
"Do you want to say hello?"
"Go, I'm not in a hurry to go back anyway."
"Let's go."
A group of people just walked towardsAfter seeing Ice Emperor, not long after, Ice Emperor's people also saw this row of conspicuous khaki team uniforms.
"Wow! It's Bunta! Bunta Bunta! Long time no see!"
"What, we just met the day before yesterday."
Jirou Akutagawa took a look When he arrived at Marui, he pounced on him. Others were already used to this, and even Atobe had to accept this, which was very unglorious in his eyes.
"Yukimura, why don't you transfer your Marui to Hyotei? I'll cover all the expenses, how about it?"
"Hehehe... I think it's better to let Akutagawa It would be better for my classmates to transfer to Lihai."
"It's really not gorgeous. Well, work hard for the game tomorrow. I will go and watch it."
" That will definitely not disappoint you. Our goal is to win the national championship."
"I'll wait and see." After a pause, Atobe glanced at Niou without any trace, and continued: "You should not. Are you anxious to return to Kanagawa?"
"I'm not in a hurry, but I don't know what's going on with Minister Atobe?"
"It's going to be dinner time in a while, why don't we come together? How about having a meal with me as a treat?"
"Since the Minister of Finance has kindly invited me, I won't refuse it."
"Enjoy my splendor to the fullest. Let’s have delicious food.” After saying that, Atobe looked at Yushi Ninzu, “Nanzu, you can take everyone to Chibahara first.”
“Well, everyone, please come with me, Chiba. It's right here, we'll be there in ten minutes' walk."
Everyone in Lihai glanced at Atobe, who was not planning to go with them, and Nioh, who was most familiar with Atobe, and looked at him. Si Di and the rest of Ice Emperor left.
Nioh naturally knew what Atobe wanted to say to him, so he stayed without Atobe having to say more.

Looking at his teammates who were gradually walking away, Nioh said: "What do you want to whisper to me, Xiaojing, huh?"
"You can't call me such a fancy name. Have you forgotten?"
"Puri, uncle and aunt asked me to call you that, how could I just forget about it?"
"They also told you not to be picky and eat more. Why don't you listen?"
"..."
After successfully confronting King Ni, Atobe happily talked about the business: "Has found me."
Nioh glanced at the necklace around Atobe's neck and replied, "I noticed it as soon as we met."
"That's not the point. The point is that he told me about you."
"Well, what's wrong?"
"Are you going to deal with that Yamata-no-Orochi?"
"Yes, but not now, why not How many yearsI will take action later. "
"I was told about the danger of Yamata-no-Orochi at first, and I also looked up a lot of information. It is not comparable to the monsters we have come into contact with before. The Yamata-no-Orochi is no longer a monster in the strict sense. It's a monster. It's a monster comparable to a god. Even if you have a divine sword, I wouldn't trust you. The same goes for Chu. We really can't let you take risks alone. "
"You don't want to go there with me, do you? "
"Not just us, Chu and I are thinking about joining forces with other people, such as the Sun and Moon Group, and the elders in the family, so maybe-"
"I don't I don’t want to expose Tiancong Yunjian. "
"What? "
"This is my trump card. At present, the only people who know about its existence are Phoenix and you two. I don't want more people to know about it, because this sword... It's so special, it's in my body, as if it's integrated with me. Once someone covets me, you can imagine my situation. "
"...I was negligent on this level. ”
“Concern leads to chaos, I understand. "
"But we are not mature enough after all. No matter how talented and powerful you are... you are still an ancient evil god. "
"Don't worry, I won't do it easily before I have enough confidence. Anyway, it is still sleeping and won't wake up for a while. "
"Then do you know when it will wake up? "
"Almost ten years from now. Anyway, we are not pressed for time, so you don't have to worry too much. "
"...If you need anything, tell me and my father at any time. ”
“When have I ever been polite to you?” "
"Well...and...thank you. "
"Oh? Thank you for what? "It was rare to see an expression similar to shyness on the young master's face, and Nioh's eyes suddenly became hot.
"Ahem... It's really, so not gorgeous! "
"Yes, yes, I am the least gorgeous, so what does Xiaojing want to thank me for? "
"It's just... what happened at first. If it weren't for you, I don't know how long he would have kept it from me. And your junior brother, without him, it would have been impossible to endure their strength. It improved so quickly, thank you anyway. "
"It's okay, this is what friends should do. "
"One more thing, there are about ten days before the start of school. I want to bring Kirihara to my villa and let my club members practice with him during this time. "
"I'll ask Chiya what he thinks tonight and then give you an answer. ”
“No problem. ”
“Okay, if there is nothing else, let’s follow the army. It’s been a long time since I had Chibahara’s barbecue, and I miss it a bit.” ”
"Ah, let's go."
The two smiled at each other and walked towards Chibahara together.
