Thinking like this, the marching footsteps stopped at the corner that was only one corner and a short distance away from the exit of the player tunnel.

Because, Echizen Jinshu's keen sense of hearing captured the chatter of many people at the exit.

"Echizen-chan did really well today!"

"Yeah, yeah, I wonder if I can see her later."

"You can't say for sure. After all, it depends on the coach and your own wishes!"

"Yes, if Echizen-chan didn't want to be interviewed, she probably wouldn't have come."

"..."

Listening to these words, Echizen Jinshu complained secretly in her heart: 'I really got it right...'

After he finished complaining, he quietly poked his head out a little and looked towards the exit.

I saw a dozen reporters standing at the exit with press badges and microphones or recorders, and some were followed by photographers.

Behind the reporters and photographers, there were many fans. The words I heard just now were fans talking to each other.

Seeing this, Echizen Jinshu withdrew her head and covered her forehead with a look of helplessness, complaining in her heart: 'Ah... there are too many people here! How do I get out? ! ’

While complaining like this, he looked at the team uniform he was wearing: 'You can't hide from so many people in this outfit...'

‘Oh~ I should have brought casual clothes when I came here this morning, so I could change into different clothes and hide away. ’

Just as he was distressed like this, he saw the head coach and Qianben walking towards here from the corner of his eye.

Seeing that the two of them were about to say hello, Echizen Jinshu quickly raised her hand to make a silent gesture.

Seeing this gesture, the two of them remained silent.

After walking over, Qianben, who had a smile on his face, asked in a low voice: "Jin Shu, why are you still here?" ’

Hearing this, Echizen Jinshu spread her hands helplessly and responded in a low voice: "Many reporters and fans have gathered at the exit."

Knowing this, head coach Shi Chun who was standing aside smiled and persuaded in a low voice: "If you ask me, Shushu, you might as well accept the interview with the reporter together with the two of us." ’

Hearing this, Echizen Jinshu shook her head and refused in a low voice: "I have to go to the game. I don't know which game it is now."

As he said this, he was thinking about ways to escape.

Suddenly, the audience flashed in her mind. Echizen Jinshu looked at the two people in front of her with bright eyes and whispered to confirm: "The audience in the competition venue should have finished by now, right?!"

Qian Yue, who thought of the audience passage through these words, smiled and responded softly: "It's probably over. After all, the awards ceremony is over."

Seeing this, Echizen Jinshu nodded, with a bit of excitement in his tone: "I'll go to the entrance to see if no one leaves from there."

Head coach Shi Chun, who had no intention of stopping him, nodded and whispered: "Remember to go back to the player village early after watching the game. We are flying back to Japan tonight."

Echizen Jinshu heard this and nodded and responded quietly: "Okay, I will go back early."

After saying that, he walked towards the contestant entrance.

After seeing Echizen Jinshu leave, head coach Shi Chun and Qian Yue also walked toward the exit to accept interviews from reporters.

After walking to the corner of the entrance, Echizen Jinshu, who had not heard any movement in the competition venue, poked her head out, glanced at the seats in the auditorium opposite, and when she saw no one, she walked forward furtively. .

On the way, after hearing no one talking in the venue, he quickly walked out, stepped up the steps, and walked towards the entrance of the audience passage farthest from him.

After walking into the passage, Echizen Jinshu let out a long sigh of relief and sighed in her heart: 'Fortunately, the audience dispersed quickly, otherwise we would have to wait again. ’

After walking through the deserted passage, Echizen Jinshu looked around and saw that there was no one nearby and walked quickly towards the outside of the World Cup venue.

Just when Echizen Jinshu safely left the venue and walked towards the man, the mobile phone she carried with her vibrated.

Feeling this, Echizen Jinshu took it out and quickly picked it up after seeing that the person on the screen was Echizen Haru. The figures of Echizen Haru and Xiaoyu appeared on the screen.

Seeing her daughter wearing a hat and walking, Echizen Haru smiled and praised: "Shu Shu played well today~ She got another medal!"

After hearing the compliment, Echizen Jinshu raised her eyebrows and responded: "It's okay~ Besides, it's not necessary to get another medal~"

As he spoke, he winked at Echizen Haru.

When Xiaoyu saw Echizen Jinshu blinking, he stretched out his front paws to pull up the screen, his cat eyes full of curiosity.

Seeing the little fish pulling up the screen, Echizen Haru smiled and stretched out her hand to rub its head, then raised her eyes to look at Echizen Jinshu and said, "Little fish misses you so much~"

Echizen Jinshu, who heard the implication, responded with a smile: "I have a flight tonight and can go back tomorrow morning."

After hearing the news, Echizen Haru's eyes flashed with surprise, and she asked in a joking tone: "Don't you need to celebrate?"

Seeing his question, Echizen Jinshu replied: "We already celebrated in the semi-finals."

Hearing this, Echizen Haru nodded, rubbed Xiaoyu's head and asked with a smile: "Didn't I mention New Year's cards to you before you went to Australia? How about it? How many do you want to write?"

Hearing that Echizen Jinshu was asking about this matter, his brain suddenly shut down, and the CPU in his brain was calculating frantically: 'The head coach and the others... the senior sisters and the others... and Yukimura and the others... emmm, if the three of them come back after the game, In the United States, it's not easy to send New Year's cards...'

Thinking like this, Echizen Jinshu raised her eyes to look at Echizen Haru on the screen and responded: "Probably... one or two hundred pictures."

Echizen Haru, who was not surprised by the number, nodded: "I think so. After all, you have written dozens of them before when the New Year is approaching. This year, I have met more friends, so I naturally wrote more."

After finishing speaking, he paused, looked at his daughter and continued: "Then I will buy you two hundred sheets first. When you come back tomorrow and you are free, you can start writing directly."

Echizen Jinshu, who had no objection to this, nodded and thought about how to write a New Year's greeting.

Seeing the thoughtful look on her daughter's face, Echizen Haru asked: "Shu Shu, are you going to watch the Men's World Cup match?"

Hearing the inquiry, Echizen Jinshu put away her thoughts and nodded in response: "Well, today my brother who is on the Spanish team is going to play against Ryoma, so I have to go and see."

Echizen Haru looked away from the live broadcast of the men's World Cup match on TV, looked at her daughter and said: "The second set of the doubles match is going on now~"

Knowing that she still had time, Echizen Jinshu exhaled and responded: "That's it~ Then I still have time to go over. The match between my brother and Ryoma is the next one."

Echizen Haru nodded when she heard this, looked at Echizen Jinshu with a smile and said: "Okay~ Shushu, please pay attention to your own safety, I will hang up first."

Echizen Jinshu, who arched her eyebrows, responded. Seeing this, Echizen Haru hung up the video.

------

It was also at this time that the men's final competition venue was in the audience.

After receiving the news that Echizen Jinshu did not participate in the interview, the audience started gossiping quietly.

"New news, Echizen-chan did not participate in the interview. The interview was conducted by the head coach and the team captain together."

"Ah?! No! Echizen Zaizai didn't participate in the interview?!"

"If you weren't interviewed...how did Echizen-chan leave the competition venue?!"

"There must be a way...and since Echizen Zaizai didn't participate in the interview, he should come here earlier to watch the game."

"By the way, if Echizen-chan didn't let the reporter interview, would the reporter write random things in the magazine?!"

"I can't say for sure, but... Echizen Zaizai doesn't seem to care much about this aspect."

"It's not a big problem. We don't listen to what reporters say."

"That's right! The reporter's words won't stop us from loving Echizen-chan!"

"..."

-

On the sidelines, the Spanish team.

After learning that Echizen Jinshu did not participate in the interview, Echizen Nanjiro chuckled and said in a joking tone: "She is indeed my niece~ She even hesitated to be interviewed by reporters."

Hearing this, Echizen Ryuya, who was standing behind him, said with a bit of irony in his tone: "This is nothing compared to you, dad. You won't go to the World Open in a row if you don't want to!"

Echizen Nanjiro, who sat up straight and put his hands in his arms, raised his eyebrows and responded: "I can't help it~ Who told me to find something more interesting to do."

Behind him, Ryuya Echizen opened his half-moon eyes and said, "Don't lead my sister astray!"

"I didn't~" Echizen Nanjiro responded with a chuckle: "At least, Xiao Jinshu won't do it now, but it won't necessarily be the case in the future."

-

In the other half, the Japanese team.

Knowing that his sister did not participate in the interview, Echizen Ryoma lowered his head and was thinking about whether this matter would have any impact on his sister.

At this moment, Kirihara Akaya, who was standing with Shiraishi Kuranosuke, asked: "Speaking of Echizen, will there be any problems with Echizen-san doing this?"

After hearing the question, Echizen Ryoma was interrupted by Byodoin Phoenix on the side before he could answer: "There will be no problem. After all, the team is led by high school students, so it stands to reason that the coach and captain will be interviewed together. Echizen... It doesn’t matter if your classmates go or not.”

After he finished speaking, Echizen Ryoma, who stretched out his hand to press the brim of his hat, then echoed: "My sister is sensible. Since she didn't participate in the interview, it means she doesn't have to go."

-

On the court, Toyama Kintaro was still having a fierce tug-of-war with Mars Di Coron and Seda. No one wanted to let the other side win the ball.

I saw the tennis ball passing over the net being intercepted by Mars Di Calon who stopped in his tracks. At the same time, he locked his eyes on the "paralyzed gap" on the tennis racket, and then fired back: "Position to hit the ball!"

"despair!"

Kintaro Toyama didn't panic at all when he saw the tennis ball being 'sniped' at him. He changed his left hand to hold the racket while chasing the tennis ball.

Just when he stopped, he swung the tennis ball hard towards Seda who was in front.

"despair!!"

Looking at the tennis ball coming towards him, Seda swung the racket hard to meet it.

"despair!"

"Squeaky..."

Although Toyama Kintaro did not use tennis moves, the power and impact from the tennis ball still made Seda a little bit unable to bear it.

Kintaro Toyama also took the tennis racket in his paralyzed left hand with his right hand during the few seconds when Seda paused to catch the ball, and quickly judged where he would hit the tennis ball.

Seda held the tennis racket steady and swung the tennis ball out of the racket.

"call out!"

Kintaro Toyama, who was already prepared, took a few steps to catch up. He gently swung the racket with his right hand and hit the tennis ball to the right side of the unguarded net between the two opponents.

"despair."

The tennis ball jumped over the net due to the force, and fell to the ground at the same time as Mars Di Calon ran forward and Seda chased and stretched out his racket to block the ball.

"Patter..."

Seeing this scene, the referee announced: "The Japanese team scores, 15 to 15!"

After hearing the verdict, the audience supporting the Japanese team shouted: "Japan...Japan...Japan..."

-

Echizen Ryuya, who saw Kintaro Toyama changing shots just now, smiled and said, "Toyama learns very quickly~"

Echizen Nanjiro, who quite agreed with this, nodded and responded: "His tennis talent is also very good."

-

On the opposite side, everyone cheered happily when they saw the tug-of-war ended and Kintaro Toyama scored.

Oni Jujiro looked at Kintaro Toyama, who was growing rapidly on the field, and smiled: "It's quite impressive. He has adapted to the battle so quickly."

Irie Kanata, who was standing aside with a smile on his face, responded: "It will be much easier to handle next, and there is also a seamless blessing that prevents it from displaying its true strength."

Looking at Omagari Ryuji who was still in the state of 'mental control', Tokugawa Kazuya said: "I just don't know when Omagari-senpai will wake up."

-

On the court, Kintaro Toyama, who scored, stood back to the serving point again, and the paralysis on his left hand had long since disappeared.

Immediately, Kintaro Toyama, with a smile on his face, threw the tennis ball in his hand high, crouched down and jumped high into the air with his legs. At the same time, he rotated himself to bring up strong wind and dust, and hit the tennis ball with his powerful swing: "Megaton Super Magical and gorgeous skill - volcanic eruption ball!"

"despair!!!"

The tennis ball broke away in an instant and hit the ground near the left baseline of Mars Di Calon in a straight line, stirring up a large amount of dust.

"boom!!"

Mars Di Calon, who was chasing the ball with a racket, stopped because of the dust. He choked and coughed twice while waving away the dust in front of him.

After the dust cleared, the referee looked at the ball mark on the ground and announced: "The Japanese team scores, 30 to 15!"

But Ryuuji Oguri, who was in the tennis court but was not hit by the flying tennis balls, felt the strong wind coming from the surroundings.

This feeling made Daqu Ryuji, who had been in the white space, feel confused: 'Strong wind? Why do I feel strong wind blowing? Where am I? ’

This doubt made Omagari Ryuji, who didn't know who he was, subconsciously think of Toyama Kintaro, whom he wanted to take, as well as Kuranosuke Shiraishi and Shuji Tanejima who entrusted him to him.

At this moment, a sentence rang out in his mind: "Daqu... you have the best partner! Don't you?"

After hearing the words of Byodoin Phoenix, Daqu Ryuji was even more confused: 'Who is Daqu...? ’

"You're not at your wits' end yet, are you? Ryuji."

"Don't doubt your 'tenacity' and tennis, Daqu."

Daqu Ryuji, who remembered these two sentences, murmured to himself uncertainly: "Daqu...Ryuji...is my name? 'Tenacious', this word is so familiar..."

Immediately, Daqu Ryuji heard his own voice again.

"Hey, Kintaro, why did you shoot to the left just now?"

"Thanks to you, Kintaro has overcome the weakness of doubles. Let's start our doubles! Kintaro!"

"You have to be careful... Brother Daqu."

"Hey! Brother Daqu?!"

Oguri Ryuji's pupils trembled slightly when he heard Toyama Kintaro's voice, and he murmured: "I am Oguri Ryuji! I am Oguri Ryuji who will be 'tenacious' and challenge no matter what he encounters!!"

"Crack..."

The white space cracked open and shattered due to these words.

Seda's eyes were full of shock when he sensed that Daguri Ryuji had broken away from his 'mental control'. He stopped blocking the ball and stopped in place, turning his head and looking over.

"boom!"

The referee who saw the ball mark announced: "The Japanese team won this game, the score is 2 to 1!"
