Chapter 661: No sense of participation!
"Clear the cards, Kaikata Academy, Toyama Kazuha wins!"
"Izumi-shin Academy, Ooka Momiji advances to the top 4!"
With the referee's announcement, the karuta competition that had lasted for a whole day was coming to an end. A large number of contestants were eliminated one after another, dragging their tired bodies and walking out of the arena dejectedly.
The top four are born: Kazuba, Momiji, and two veteran players from Kyoto and Tokyo.
The entire Gaoyue Cup is to be completed within one day.
This is undoubtedly a huge test of the players' physical strength, which is why Ikenami Shizuka and Kazuha's karuta club president Mirai both think that Kazuha is very suitable for competitive karuta.
The Aikido girl is very good at many things, except that she is very strong.
She may not be the most technically proficient among so many contestants, but she is definitely the one with the best physical strength. As the situation changes, He Ye will have more and more advantages as time goes by.
Halftime.
Ooka Momiji stood in the shadow of the corridor, staring at the boy in the audience through the glass window, her fingers gently stroking the cuff of her kimono.
"Miss." Iori Muga appeared silently behind her and bowed his head respectfully, "It has been confirmed that Kaieda is in the venue. President Achiba gave him a special pass."
Hongye's eyes didn't leave the boy, "Where's President Achiba?"
"Still in the judges' booth, looking nervous." Iori Muga replied, "He seems to have noticed that we are investigating him."
"Keep an eye on them. If they dare to disturb my game in front of my husband..." The girl adjusted her kimono sleeves elegantly: "I will deal with them according to the rules of the Ooka family..."
Her voice trailed off, and a cold gleam flashed in her eyes.
"As you command, miss."
Iori Wuyi nodded knowingly and retreated quietly.
The girl looked at the boy again, the coldness in her eyes faded away, leaving only endless tenderness.
"My husband is watching..."
On the other side, He Ye also took the opportunity to take a breath during the break of the game.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead. Her white Aikido uniform was already soaked with sweat and stuck to her back.
After a day's competition, the other players were already showing signs of fatigue, but the abundant physical strength that she had gained from years of Aikido practice showed her advantage at this moment.
"You did a good job~" Hanyu Kusunoki's voice sounded in my ears.
He Ye's face turned red: "Nan, Nan! There are a lot of people here..."
"What are you afraid of?" Hanyu Nan chuckled and deliberately blew into her ear, "What's wrong with me hugging my wife? We have met their parents, are you going to deny it?"
"No way!!!"
He Ye hurriedly turned around to deny it, but was met with Hanyu Kusunoki's mischievous smile. She immediately puffed up her cheeks like a cute pufferfish: "Kusan, you're teasing me again..."
"Haha, who made our little He Ye so cute~" Hanyu Kusunoki couldn't help laughing and leaned over to kiss her on the corner of her mouth.
The girl's lips are soft and sweet, with a faint scent of strawberry lipstick, refreshing.
The sudden kiss made He Ye dizzy and her heart pounding. The looks from all around made her so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Just as she was about to retreat, the door was pried open and someone walked in straight away.
Her body softened and she subconsciously wrapped her arms around Hanyu Kusunoki's waist. The momentum she had when facing her opponent on the court disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
All that was left was to clumsily stick out her tongue under the guidance of her lover.
After a long while, Hanyu Kusunoki slowly let go.
He Ye's fair and tender face had turned as red as a ripe apple. She could only lie in Hanyu Nan's arms like an ostrich, unable to raise her head.
"In public..." She muttered softly with a red face, but she couldn't help licking her lips, as if she was savoring the kiss just now.
Hanyu Nan smiled wickedly and rubbed her high ponytail, letting the hair slide through his fingertips: "What's wrong with being in public? I'm just cheering you on!"
"Well...how can you cheer like that..." He Ye felt dizzy. Being watched by so many people while being intimate, she felt like a bad girl. It was really terrible.
Her voice became smaller and smaller, and her head lowered even lower.
The two were talking sweetly when a gentle and graceful voice suddenly interrupted: "Husband~"
Ooka Hongye stood not far away without knowing when, with a half-smile in her eyes: "Hongye also wants to be cheered up by her husband~"
The girl bit her lip, her gesture full of affection.
Hearing this, Kazuha immediately straightened up like a cat with its fur standing on end and jumped out of Hanyu Kusunoki's arms: "Ooka Momiji!"
Hongye bowed gracefully: "If Xiaoye doesn't want your husband's cheering, why don't you give it to me?"
"You think beautiful!"
He Ye bared his teeth, suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed Hanyu Kusunoki, and licked his lips demonstratively.
She can kiss her man whenever she wants and wherever she likes.
Hanyu Nan looked at the two girls who were arguing with each other and was about to speak, but He Ye interrupted him: "Nan, let me do it myself!"
She glared at Hongye, her eyes burning with fighting spirit.
As a latecomer, Kazuha never thought that there was anything wrong with Ooka Koye liking Nan - after all, Nan was so outstanding, which girl would not like him?
Not to mention that Nan had saved the other person before.
But Ooka Hongye’s mistake was that she was too arrogant. If her arrogance is not curbed, she will really have to be demoted in the future.
Struggles between women should be resolved by women.
He Ye, Xiao Lan and the others had already discussed it and decided that without Nan's intervention, they would teach this domineering noble lady a lesson themselves.
However, a certain loli is pessimistic about their alliance.
"The top eight contestants, please return to the inner court. The next round of competition is about to begin." The venue broadcast sounded at the right time, interrupting the conflict that was about to escalate.
He Ye took a deep breath and clenched his fists: "I'm going!"
Hongye also nodded slightly: "Husband, please look forward to my performance."
Watching the two people leaving, Hanyu Kusunoki touched his lips which were still warm and smiled helplessly.
He seems... excluded from this "war"?
There was no need for him to get involved at all. He and Ye and Ooka Hongye could solve the problem on their own. He just needed to wait until the end to award the winner and then give some comfort to the loser.
It sounds like it would be great.
But the problem is, this makes him feel like he has no involvement!
.........
The competition resumed, and the quarterfinals were much more intense than before. He Ye's opponent was a veteran player from Nara.
"Come on! Kazuha! Kazuha! Come on!"
Sonoko and Xiaolan acted as cheerleaders for their good sisters outside.
Hanyu Nan looked at the high-definition images of the girls' competition transmitted in real time by the drone on his mobile phone. After a while, he swiped the screen and the picture changed to show scenes from other parts of the venue.
Conan and his group of detectives and police are waiting at the security checkpoint.
Several men in black were looking for something in the hall.
Not far away, a burly staff member lowered his head and walked towards the monitoring room.
"It's so lively..."
Hanyu Kusunoki tapped his fingers and whispered to himself.
