Three weeks later, the Kanto Competition also reached the semi-finals. The top four in this year's Kanto Competition were Rikkai University, Hyotei, Seigaku and Rokkaku Middle School.
Moreover - Rikkai University's opponent in the semi-finals is Qingxue.
After seeing this result, Nioh was a little surprised. Not to mention whether Qingxue could enter the top four of the winner group at this time, just talking about the lottery situation, there was also some unexplainable fate. Just make fun of it inside.
"Tomorrow's game, I will play three singles."
In the conference room, Sanada said.
"No!" Kirihara slapped the table and stood up, "The singles three is mine!"
"I can give you the other three singles positions, but tomorrow I will play against Qingxue. It must be me in the third singles position.”
“Minister,” Kirihara looked at Yukimura with an accusing look on his face, “You clearly promised me to be the third singles player to train me before this year’s national competition, but the deputy minister’s words don’t count. ."
"Genichiro, this is indeed what we promised to Akaya before." After looking at Sanada, Yukimura continued: "Can you tell me why you must play three singles tomorrow? "
"You clearly know," Sanada met Yukimura's gaze, "Tezuka will definitely fight three."
"Okay, Deputy Minister." Kirihara put his hands on his hips. "You've obviously been thinking about that Tezuka-senpai. You didn't admit it before, but now you've exposed it!"
"You're too lax, Kirihara Akaya!" Sanada also stood up, "I I have always regarded Tezuka as a respectable opponent!”
“As a junior, I also want to fight against the nationally famous Tezuka-senpai!”
“Xian! "Ichiro, Akaya, you two sit down first." Yukimura had a headache. This situation was indeed something he had not expected before, because in his calculations, Qingxue was obviously unlikely to enter the top four of the winner's group this year. But now that things have happened, as a minister, he has to solve the problem of his two partners.
"Genichiro, Qingxue is now sure to enter the national competition, so there is no need to rush."
"But the grouping of the national competition is beyond our control. If What if we only have this chance to fight against Qingxue this year?"
"Deputy Minister." As soon as Niou spoke, he drew everyone's attention to him, "If Qingxue can't fight against the heroes, why not fight with us? Meeting in the finals, what else should we care about?"
"Nioh——"
"I haven't finished speaking yet," Nioh interrupted Sanada's retort and looked. To Kirihara, "But no matter what, the showdown with Tezuka is what the deputy minister has always dreamed of. Now we have finally waited for this opportunity. If we stop it, it may be a harm to the deputy minister. So Akaya , let’s leave tomorrow’s singles to the deputy minister.”
Sanada did not expect that Nioh would stand on his side and speak for him, which made him feel a little guilty. However, once this opportunity is missed, he will have to wait until the next time he confronts Seigaku, so Sanada only You can choose to follow your heart.
"Kirihara, tomorrow——"
"Okay." As soon as Nioh opened his mouth, Kirihara suddenly became indifferent, "Minister, let's let the deputy minister play in the three-single match tomorrow. After sitting down again, Kirihara continued: "I have no objection."
Although Kirihara behaved very well, Yukimura didn't know if he was treating Kirihara as an elder's filter for children. Inexplicably, I saw a little bit of disappointment in this child.
"Genichiro," Yukimura looked at Sanada with a deep look, "I can agree that you will play in the singles three tomorrow, but you must promise me to win the game 6:0."
6:0... Such a familiar number, this is the score Tezuka once gave Sanada.
After hearing this request, Sanada and Yukimura looked at each other, and the eyes between them were like lightning flashes that others could not see through.

"I have no problem." Sanada lowered the brim of his hat and spoke in a low voice. He had worked hard for so long just to get this ugly result back!
"Very good, since you have confidence, I will let you do it, but as compensation..." Yukimura looked at Kirihara, "Tomorrow every time you lose a ball, you will have to fight Akaya more A battle. I remember that Akaya has a lot of tricks that were sealed by Masaharu? No problem." Sanada agreed without hesitation.
Kirihara was also a little excited when he heard Yukimura's decision: "Really, Minister! Can I use those tricks?!"
"Yeah."
" Great!" Kirihara looked at Sanada enthusiastically, "Can you throw more balls tomorrow?"
"I won't let it go! Ball! ! "
"Hahaha..." Yukimura smiled, "You are very motivated, Genichiro, then the singles three is settled, and there is no need to change the singles two, Mori-senpai. One-on-one... Let Aka and I be the substitutes."
"What?! You want me to do one-on-one?" Kirihara pointed at himself and said in disbelief.
"Yes, Akaya should be fine, right?"
"No problem, no problem." Kirihara shook his head repeatedly, happily like a small fish in water, and his happiness was beyond words. .
Although they were confident that they would not be able to play one-on-one, which meant that Kirihara had no chance to play. But the playing list is never a one-sided issue of whether to play or not, but a matter of decision-making.manner.
Since Yukimura is willing to write Kirihara Akaya’s name in the singles position, it is enough to show that he cares about Kirihara. He is telling Kirihara in this way: You and Ichiro are both here with me. Is an important companion.

In this way, the list for the battle against Seigaku was happily decided. Until they went back to their respective houses in the evening, Kirihara was still jumping up and down with joy that he was playing alone.
"Akaya, let me ask you a question."
"Huh? What's the problem, Nioh-senpai?"
"I just asked you to give up the singles for three Did you feel uncomfortable?"
"No." Kirihara immediately gave the answer, "Why would Nioh-senpai ask this question? It’s not too late for me to go out and train! As for the competition with the deputy minister for the singles and three positions, it was not because I was worried that the deputy minister would be abducted~ But as you said, Nioh-senpai, if the opportunity to fulfill our long-cherished wish is right in front of us, we will still do it. If I try to stop the deputy minister, I will be hurting him! That’s why I won’t really make trouble~ Nioh-senpai said that we are all family members and we must care for each other, right? ” p>
"How lucky you are." Nioh looked at Kirihara with unconcealed fondness, "We will have such a caring junior like Akaya."
"Emotions are two-way! Because everyone is good to me, I have to respect and care for my seniors more! Also, Niou-senpai, the minister is so good to me! I never thought that my name would appear in the singles position!"
"Idiot, you are our first-year ace. If it is not good for you, no one will be good for you."
"Hehehehe... After all, it's still a one-on-one fight~ Nioh-senpai, Do you think I am the first freshman to be ranked No. 1 in Singles? No! The minister was ranked No. 1 in Singles last year! I mean, am I the first to be ranked No. 1 in Singles? ?"
"Puri, at least within the scope of the country."
"Yeah! That's great!" Kirihara suddenly jumped on Niou's back. He hung on Nioh like a koala, "Nioh-senpai, you, the minister, and everyone in the tennis club are really nice to me. I feel so happy."
