When I entered the world of Internet King

The scene returned to Echizen Jinshu's side. Everyone took the bus back to the Japanese team resting area of ​​the hotel where the players rested in the Athletes Village.

Everyone sat down one after another. Head coach Shi Chun saw Echizen Jinshu and others sitting down and said with a smile: "You guys wait a moment, Saihara, Qianjima and I are going to prepare the bamboo chopsticks for the draw."

After seeing everyone nodding, head coach Shi Chun and the other three turned around and left the rest area to prepare.

After seeing the three head coaches Ishizumi leaving, Takahashi Tsuna slumped on the back of the sofa and said, "The group stage is finally over, and we can still have three days of rest."

Seeing Takahashi Tsuna's imageless middle and high school students chuckled, Qian Yue also raised the corner of his mouth and turned to look at Echizen Jinshu next to him and asked: "Jinshu, what have you been doing these days before the finals start?" What are you going to do?"

Everyone else who heard Qian Yue asked what Echizen Jinshu was doing also looked at Echizen Jinshu.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Echizen Jinshu said: "If there is nothing else, I will wait a while to choose a doubles partner and work on our coordination in the past few days."

After hearing Echizen Jinshu's arrangements in the past few days, Yamazaki Kana, who was also slumped on the back of the sofa, said: "I don't know which country the opponent will be in the next final."

Tomomi Kawashima told what she knew: "I heard that the top eight countries in the world have all advanced to the finals."

After learning about this, Yamazaki Kana sat up and exclaimed: "Doesn't that mean that there is a high probability that our next final will be against the top 8 countries in the world?!"

The calm Takahashi Tsuna leaned on the back of the sofa and said: "There is indeed a high probability. However, it still depends on how the organizers of the U-17 World Cup arrange it."

Immediately afterwards, Yukinoshita Chiu looked at the junior high school students and continued: "Anyway, since we have advanced to the finals, there is the possibility of competing with the top countries in the world, and we must all be prepared."

After hearing this, Qian Yue nodded and continued: "Although we have played against the fifth-ranked American team, if we can get to the end, we will only play the finals against one of the top four countries."

Just when the topic was getting a little dull, head coach Shi Chun walked in from outside, holding a pair of bamboo chopsticks in both hands.

After arriving in front of the middle and high school students, head coach Shi Chun looked at everyone and said, "Everyone has one stick, and the one with the longest draw is Shu Shu's doubles partner."

After saying that, head coach Shi Chun stretched out his arms and motioned Qian Yue and others to come forward to draw lots.

Seeing this, Qian Yue was the first to step forward to draw lots. After scanning a circle of bamboo chopsticks, he picked one that pleased his eyes and took it out. However, the result was not satisfactory. Qian Yue got short bamboo chopsticks.

After seeing that there was still a 26/[-] chance of winning, everyone stepped forward and picked up the bamboo chopsticks in the hands of head coach Shi Chun.

In the end, Ogawa Haruga got the longest bamboo chopstick and became Echizen Jinshu's doubles partner. (The author took the note and drew the candidate three times.)

After everyone saw that it was Ogawa Qingya who had won the prize, they all looked at her with faint eyes.

Ogawa Qingya, who had a thorn on her back, smiled at everyone with her long bamboo chopsticks, and then hurriedly sat next to Echizen Jinshu.

Seeing this, head coach Shi Chun clapped his hands twice and said, "Okay, now that Shu Shu's doubles partner has been decided, you should all go back to your room to rest. Those who want to practice, go and practice."

After speaking, he paused, looked at Echizen Jinshu and said, "Shushu stays."

After everyone saw that head coach Shi Chun had something to talk to Echizen Jinshu alone, they all stood up and walked out of the rest area.

After everyone left, head coach Shi Chun walked to the sofa, sat opposite Echizen Jinshu and asked: "Shushu, since you chose to play doubles in the first game of the World Cup, which game do you think it will be?" Did you play in the final?"

Echizen Jinshu, who was asked by head coach Ishizumi when he would play the game, replied: "The next game will be in the quarter-finals."

Head coach Shi Chun, who learned that Echizen Jinshu was going to play in the quarter-finals doubles, was shocked and said: "You are playing in the quarter-finals?! Shushu, are you overqualified to play in the quarter-finals? Eighth. The quarter-finals are still the same as the group stage, with two doubles matches and then three singles matches, and only one set is played.”

Hearing this, Echizen Jinshu shook her head and said, "No. Qian Yue and I will take turns sitting in the quarter-finals and semi-finals."

After a pause, Echizen Jinshu looked at head coach Shi Chun and continued: "I will play two singles in the finals."

Seeing that Echizen Jinshu had already planned his next game order, head coach Shi Chun sighed helplessly: "Shushu, you really trust your teammates~"

Listening to the sigh of head coach Shi Chun, Echizen Jinshu responded with a raised eyebrow: "Coach, you also said that we are teammates. Isn't it right to trust your teammates? Besides, if there is an accident, as long as they win two On the field, Qianbon and I can make a comeback."

Head coach Shi Chun, who saw Echizen Jinshu's clear thinking, sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, let's decide the order of the game first."

After saying that, head coach Shi Chun remembered Echizen Jinshu's words about playing the second singles in the finals, and then looked at her and asked: "Shu Shu, why did you play the second singles in the finals?"

When coach Ishizumi asked about it, Echizen Jinshu raised her eyebrows, looked at her firmly and replied, "Because I want to win the World Cup in three games."

Knowing that Echizen Jinshu had such thoughts, head coach Shi Chun was stunned for a few seconds, then stretched out his hand to touch his forehead and said in a helpless tone: "After leading the team so many times and watching such a World Cup finals, I have no idea. I have never seen any representative team win the World Cup in three games."

Echizen Jinshu, who knew that the head coach Ishi Chun would find it difficult to accept, replied with an arched eyebrow: "You will be able to meet the head coach this year."

After taking a deep breath, head coach Shi Chun felt that his fast-beating heart had calmed down. He looked up at the smiling Echizen Jinshu and said, "Okay, I will make arrangements for the order of the game. You and Qianben, feel free to do it boldly."

Echizen Jinshu, who knew from the beginning that head coach Ishizumi would agree, nodded and said: "Okay." This was not only to promise Senior Sister Qianyuan to lead Japan to the first place in the world, but also to be able to finish in three games. Later, he caught up with his elder brother and younger brother in the game.

In the men's athletes' village, on the road illuminated by the setting sun, Echizen Ryoma carried a tennis racket on his shoulders. As he walked, he lowered his head and thought about the match between Akutsujin and Alexander Amadeus that he watched today.

His thoughts were interrupted when he heard the sound of running. Echizen Ryoma stopped and looked up at Tezuka Kunimitsu, who was jogging over.

When Tezuka Kunimitsu saw Echizen Ryoma, he ran in front of him, stopped and said, "Echizen."

After being silent for a few seconds, Echizen Ryoma raised his head and said, "Mr. Tezuka, did the German team win?"

Tezuka Kunimitsu, who heard Echizen Ryoma's question, responded: "Yes."

After a pause, Tezuka Kunimitsu lowered his head and looked at Echizen Ryoma and asked: "Echizen, who do you want to defeat most right now?"

"Eh?"

Seeing this, Tezuka Kunimitsu then said to Echizen Ryoma: "Sooner or later, the confusion in your heart will affect the US team."

Hearing this, Echizen Ryoma repeated: "Confused?"

Tezuka Kunimitsu, who had been looking at Echizen Ryoma, continued: "Who do you really want to defeat?"

-

On the other side, Ralf Reinhardt, who was standing with Ryuya Echizen who was playing with oranges, asked: "Where do you think Ryoma... is looking at right now. I once told him to Look at the world, but who should he look at the world with? Maybe he already has the answer in his heart."

Ryuya Echizen, who was standing next to Ralf Reinhardt, did not answer, but just put the orange in his hand to his mouth and took a bite.

The next day, Echizen Ryoma stood by the tennis court and watched the fight in the court absently.

At this moment, Chico Balentin, holding a tennis racket in his hand, walked up to Echizen Ryoma and asked: "Ryoma, did you watch the match between Switzerland and Japan yesterday?"

Hearing Chico Balentin ask him if he was watching the game, Echizen Ryoma responded calmly.

Chico Balentin, who learned that Echizen Ryoma had watched the game, then asked: "How did you feel after actually watching the Swiss team?"

Dudu Obandu on the side continued: "We will enter the final the day after tomorrow. If we keep playing like this, we will face the Swiss team in the second game."

Seeing Dudu Obandu mentioning the Swiss team's Chico Valentin, he said: "I heard that the Japanese team players competed against Amadeus?"

Standing aside, Echizen Ryoma couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth when he heard Chico Balentin mention Akutsujin.

Chico Balentin and Dudu Obondo looked at each other in confusion upon seeing this.

On the other side of the tennis court, Alan Hopkins turned to look at Echizen Ryuya sitting on the bench behind him and asked: "Ryuya, what's wrong with your brother? He has been acting like this after watching the match between Japan and Switzerland yesterday. It doesn’t look like it’s uncomfortable.”

Echizen Ryuya, who was sitting on the bench, responded calmly: "Who knows."

And here, Echizen Ryoma frowned and recalled what Tezuka Kunimitsu had said to him last evening.

"boom!"

After seeing the game on the field, Chico Balentin said to Echizen Ryoma with a smile on his face: "Ryoma, let's enter the field."

Dudu Obondo on the side then spoke up and said to Echizen Ryoma: "Come and fight with me, Ryoma."

Echizen Ryoma, who was not in the mood to deal with the two of them, turned his back to them and responded: "Can you fight on your own?"

Seeing Echizen Ryoma turning around and leaving, Dudu Obondu stopped him and said, "Hey, Ryoma..."

Before Echizen Ryoma could take two steps, he was stopped by Max Weir: "It's almost the finals, and you still look haggard. Is this okay? If you're afraid of competing against a strong team, how about me playing instead?"

Loki Melody stepped forward to stop Max Will and said: "Stop talking, Max Will. Have you forgotten how badly you lost on the day Longma reported for duty? You and I should be very aware of his strength, right?" .”

Max Weir snorted softly upon hearing this and did not stop Echizen Ryoma from leaving.

No one said anything to stop Echizen Ryoma, holding a tennis racket and walking out of the tennis court.

At night, Echizen Ryoma sat by the swimming pool and thought about what Tezuka Kunimitsu asked him, and then murmured to himself: "The person I want to defeat..."

Immediately, Echizen Ryoma remembered the ball he caught by Byodoin Phoenix in the U-17 training camp and his words to defeat him.

At this moment, Echizen Ryuya came over from a distance and asked: "What's wrong, little one?"

After saying that, he squatted down and put his arm on Echizen Ryoma's shoulder, caught it and teased: "Are you trapped by love?"

Seeing Echizen Ryuya teasing him, Echizen Ryoma frowned and sighed.

Then I heard Echizen Ryuya continue: "Tell me about it~"

Echizen Ryoma, who didn't want to talk to Echizen Ryuya, picked up the tennis racket beside him, then stroked Echizen Ryuya's arm away and responded: "No."

After saying that, Echizen Ryoma stepped forward to leave.

Seeing Echizen Ryoma turn around and leave, Echizen Ryuya sighed: "Oh~ he's so cold."

Hearing this, Echizen Ryoma stopped and called him.

Seeing this, Echizen Ryuya continued to tease: "Oh? Are you willing to tell me?"

Echizen Ryoma tried his best and said: "Let's play, let's play now."

After a moment of silence, Echizen Ryuya refused with a smile: "No, we are both on the American team~"

Seeing Echizen Ryuya's rejection, Echizen Ryouma turned his head and said: "Since coming here, I have never seen you play tennis once."

Echizen Ryuya chuckled and responded: "You know~ I can't play tennis with people on the same team."

Echizen Ryoma, who also knew the reason why Echizen Ryuya couldn't play, clenched the tennis racket in his hand.

Seeing that Echizen Ryoma was in a really depressed mood, Echizen Ryuya continued: "Little one, why don't you call your sister."

Echizen Ryoma, who didn't respond, stepped towards the distance.

Looking at the back of Echizen Ryoma leaving, Echizen Ryuya stood up and whispered softly: "Little one."

Then, Echizen Ryuya sighed, took out his cell phone from his pocket and dialed his sister.

Echizen Jinshu, who was thinking about how to cooperate with Ogawa Seiya in doubles, heard the ringtone of her cell phone, then picked it up and looked at the caller before picking up: "Brother, what's wrong?"

Hearing his sister's questioning voice, Echizen Ryuya glanced at the direction Echizen Ryoma left and said, "Yesterday, I went to watch the match between Japan and Switzerland. Until now, I have been absent-minded."

Echizen Jinshu, who learned about Echizen Ryoma's situation, responded: "When I went to watch the game the day before yesterday, I told Ryoma that he cared about the Japanese team."

Echizen Ryuya sighed helplessly after hearing this and said: "It is true. When the American team is not playing, the little one will watch the Japanese team's games indoors."

Echizen Jinshu, who knew why Echizen Ryuya called him, said: "Then I will persuade Ryouma to return to the Japanese team~"

Echizen Ryuya, who also knew that Echizen Ryoma's heart was not with Team USA, responded: "Okay, I won't stop the little one from going back."

After saying that, Echizen Ryuya continued: "I just reminded the little one to look for you, Shushu, so I hung up the phone. Don't worry, the little one can't find you."

Hearing this, Echizen Jinshu chuckled and responded: "Okay."

After saying that, he hung up the phone first.

When Echizen Ryuya hung up the phone, he began to think about his whereabouts.

And here, after putting the tennis racket back into the tennis bag, Echizen Ryoma, who was in a really bad mood, jogged on the road to the players' village, and then ran to the place where he met Tezuka Kunimitsu in the evening.

After stopping to think for a moment, Echizen Ryoma gritted his teeth and turned back to the hotel room.
