The host is really working hard.

"So, Senior, when can we meet with Minister Yukimura? What should we prepare? Should we bring some scorched rice cakes? Oh, I guess we can't bring them to the hospital. How about we bring them next time? Shall we go tomorrow?"

After everyone started training, Kirihara thought he had quietly moved over, looking around vigilantly without blinking, determined to be the first to know.

His cat eyes rolled around so wide that he didn't notice the helpless sighs of the seniors around him. How could there be such a naive little seaweed in such a serious team like Rikkai University?

Is this the price of victory?

"Kirhara, don't be anxious. You can prepare a gift for Yukimura first. Then you will be the first one to give it to him. Yukimura will definitely be very happy."

Alas, he really can't keep his secrets? Let's calm him down first.

In order to find something for his younger generation to do, Zizhou decided to divert his attention.

"Kirihara, let's have a competition, so that Senior can see if you have improved during this period of time?"

"Hey, Senior, I will definitely defeat you!"

Kirihara walked to the other side of the court with his racket in his hand with a solemn look on his face. He couldn't hide the provocation and his excited smile never faded.

Both Sanada and Yanagi wanted to see how strong Zizhou had become after his recovery. Sanada took the referee's seat, while Yanagi sat in the coach's chair beside him, writing with his pen flying.

"Pfft, little Haikai is still too naive. He believed such a simple change of subject so easily?" Niou leaned lazily on his partner and curled his pigtail with one hand.

With his shoulders pressed down by Niou, Yagyu felt that the weight of his partner seemed to be noticeably lighter. It turned out that this guy didn't eat well again.

Pushing up his reflective glasses, he thought to himself: I'd better tell Liu, otherwise this guy won't be able to play because of anemia before the Kanto competition starts.

"Nio-kun is really a man of leisure. I wonder if Kirihara would cry if he knew that his dear Nio-senpai was disguised as a vice-minister and tricked him into running 50 more laps?"

"Ah! Partner, don't be like this. Where is the love you promised me as a teammate? Don't you love me anymore?"

She was still pulling at Liu Sheng pitifully, looking at him with fake tears, as if she was looking at a heartless man.

"Niou-kun, I don't love you, so just be honest."

After saying that, he pushed away the person lying on him and walked away with a ruthless look on his face.

Marui and Kuwabara, who were standing not far away, were speechless. Even Yanagi, who was in the coaching booth, hurriedly wrote this information into his notebook and decided in a good mood to update the training list for Nioh.

No matter what happens off the court, the two people on the court don't know.

Zizhou's serve was quickly hit back by Qiyuan, but he did not think that Qiyuan would not be able to hit this ball back. He ran quickly to the landing point of the ball, exerted force on his wrist, and hit a high-profile ball.

"Senior Zizhou, come on, I want to be the number one."

After saying that, he was about to run over to catch the ball, but why did the surroundings change? How did it become a game hall?

"Kirihara, come on! Kuwabara and I found a fun game."

"Marui-senpai, Kuwabara-senpai, why are you here? Am I not competing?"

"What are you talking about? Didn't we agree to come and play a long time ago? Are you sleeping stupid?"

He immediately stepped forward and placed his hand on Kirihara's forehead, trying to check his temperature.

Xiaokaiqihara scratched his head stupidly, unable to react.

"Did I remember it wrongly?"

－－－－On the court－－－－－－

Marui looked at Kirihara, who was motionless on the court, and groped his chin with his fingers, muttering, "Hiss, Zizhou's mental power has increased again. He brought Xiao Haikai in in a few seconds. It's terrifying!"

Sanada looked at Kirihara, pulled his hat and said unhappily, "Too lax!"

"Well, Sanada, don't say that. My move is an evolution. If you don't have strong mental strength, you will hardly be able to break free."

"Let's end it then." He said and walked out of the court with his racket.

"Liu, wait for him to wake up first. As long as I stop using my mental power, he will wake up soon. But it's best not to touch him."

Liu kept writing and became more and more excited. He was very curious about why Zizhou said that.

"Is there any secret technique?"

"Ah, if I'm still using my mental power, moving him will cause his false world to collapse and break easily."

hiss~

The people standing around couldn't help but step back. This was on par with Yukimura's five senses destruction.

Is this why you shouldn't mess with people who love to laugh?

"Oh, I will be sad if you do this." She lowered her head and cried sadly.

Uh, that's too fake.

Liu swallowed, clenched the pen in his hand, thought about it, and finally spoke for the sake of his lovely juniors.

"What should Zizhou do with Kirihara now?"

"Um, let me think about it." Zizhou scratched his face awkwardly and glanced at Liu with his crackling eyes.

"Too lax. Zizhou's training will be doubled, Kirihara's training will be doubled, and Yanagi will add a mental training menu to Kirihara."

"Okay, it will be made tomorrow."

Alas, I can’t avoid it.

In the end, Kirihara woke up on his own, and when he opened his eyes, it was almost time to go home.

"Senior Liu, I'm hungry~" He looked so pitiful, as if he was about to cry, and even the kelp on his head was wilted.

Alas, I don’t know why I sighed so much during this period.

"Let's go, Kirihara."

"Ah? Yes!"

Dragging his tired body, he followed Liu closely.

It’s so pitiful. Never mind. Kirihara is still young and we should take good care of him.

Thinking of this, he walked over, took Kirihara's arm, put one hand around Kirihara's waist, and helped him walk out.

"Kirihara, did you see anything when you were playing just now?"

"Um...well, I saw Marui-senpai and Kuwabara-senpai, we went to play games together, and then I couldn't remember anything." Kirihara was embarrassed and annoyed.

"Is that so? It seems that Zizhou has recovered and his mental strength has improved. It seems that I was too lax. "

The cherry blossoms in March are like carefree little elves. They like to fly around energetic young boys and girls. Sometimes when they get tired of flying, they also like to stay on people's bodies.

But after school, there were fewer students on the road, and it was rare that only Zizhou and Sanada went back together, while Yanagi was going to send Kirihara back.

"Sanada, do you think Rikkai University is the most beautiful at this time?"

"Ah, it's Mei."

"Sanada, you're too tense. Yukimura will be back soon. Relax."

Zizhou seldom tells this to Sanada, for he is afraid of putting pressure on Sanada. But now it is different, his eyes have recovered, and Yukimura's body is almost recovered. There is no need for Sanada to push himself like this. This responsibility is too heavy, and everyone should carry it together.

"..."

Sanada is not good at speaking, he is considerate of everyone and everyone understands him. He is not a piece of wood, he can feel it, and everyone tolerates his bad temper.

"Sanada, do you like the hidden dagger?"

"Hidden knife? Is it the short knife from China?"

"Yes, I found it while walking in Chinatown a while ago. It's forged from steel and looks very sharp. The handle and blade are very ethnic in style. I thought you would like this since you practice kendo, so I bought it."

He took out the hidden knife from his bag and handed it to Sanada.

Sanada took the exquisite short sword with both hands, unable to conceal the love in his eyes.

"Zizhou, thank you, but it's too expensive. How about this, I'll pay you."

"No need, I bought it because I saw it suits you very well. If you really like it, please take good care of it."

"Yes! I will!"

As the afterglow falls, the young men under the cherry blossoms reflect their friendship.
