[Xinwangwang] On that distant mountain

"...So you just lost like this, it's too shameful." Jiazhi looked at Mao Li from the bed in the infirmary with a delicate expression.

At this time, it is already after all the games are over.In the later games, both Maori and Ochi watched in the second army's team.Their height allows them to easily see the game clearly from the back row of the crowd (Mori is much shorter than Ochi, yes, but normal Japanese high school students, even athletic teenagers, rarely up to 1.9 meters long).

In fact, if you don’t sit with the first army, you can complain more easily. There are really too few first soldiers, and they occupy such a large space. Opposite is a group of second soldiers. It’s really clear when you bite your ears. , I always feel that something is weird.

When Maori saw that Senior Watanabe used Duke's home run, which was definitely more than [-]% of his strength, he suddenly knew what the inexplicable eyes from several seniors when passing by the First Army camp just now meant.

Then, he witnessed the scene where senior Jundao, who had been trying to change partners for almost a year but failed, hooked up with the red-haired junior, causing senior Tono to drag his legs to the infirmary for a relapse of his old injury.

The only winner in this match is Kimishima-senpai.

But to be honest, watching the scene where Senior Tono dragged his legs step by step, staggered on the ground and got up again when he couldn't walk... It was very sad.

"... I can't stand it any longer." He leaned into Ochi's ear and whispered.

Ochi said expressionlessly: "Think about it, people who were 'judged' by Tono in the past also ended up like this. Last time Hakamata couldn't even walk by himself, so he was dragged to the infirmary."

"……Right."

"It's his retribution." Yue Zhi said without any emotion in his tone, "Of course I'm not worth it for him. It's just that since he chose to trust Jundao back then, he even let Jundao know about the sensitive knee injury. , I haven't noticed that Kimishima wants to break up with him... In short, you need to bear the consequences of what you do, and Tohno has this awareness, so you don't need to worry about him."

"I understand." Maori replied in a daze.

He thought that the game was already very tragic at this level.The subsequent games further refreshed his cognition.

The match between Senior Ghost and the red-haired boy from Sitianbao Temple was nothing more than a demonstration of the unparalleled talent and enthusiasm of that red-haired first-year-old.Although the fact that Senior Ghost would be infected by such a little ghost and enter a seamless state is quite tempting to complain about.We all know that Senior Ghost usually likes to worry about the training camp. I heard that when the junior high school students entered the training camp, he also provided a lot of help and guidance in the open and in the dark... Although it is not obvious from the outside, Senior Ghost is such a person. Compassionate people?

But when Senior Ghost beat Senior Jiazhi this morning, wasn't he also very ruthless?

So still have to divide the object?

Although Kaji-senpai is not too tall, he is still a senior in the third year of high school, and the attitude of the ghost-watching senior is an equal help to Tokugawa, and an admiring guide to junior high school students, but he especially likes the two countries. …

Senior Ghost just likes children!

Molly summed it up like this.

In the match between Sanada and Akutsu, Mori didn't think Sanada could win at first.

Their opponent is that Taneshima.

It was the enthusiastic Kansai boy who undoubtedly came from the upper echelons of the food chain of the first army, who dared to make jokes, and who was full of training camps to play black and white matching, and no one could refuse.

Sanada's toughest opponent is probably this type of opponent.

Good at technology and mental strength, and showing that everything is in control of the lazy look...

What Sanada hates the most is probably this type of opponent.

But Mori was amazed that Sanada would understand the qualities he lacked, and chose Akutsu as a partner to improve his level and eliminate his weaknesses.

I thought that even if a stubborn person like Sanada realizes his mistake, he will silently adjust in a place where others can't see, and it is easy to go to another dead end.

The result is... more cheerful?

Probably because of Yukimura.

Yukimura, who has returned from illness, is obviously more capable and domineering than Yukimura, who led the entire tennis club forward as a junior junior.

Although Yukimura's prestige in the tennis club is unrivaled, and the primary election in the first grade was done in an open and honest manner after defeating the seniors and changing the dynasty through formal channels, but the juniors treat the seniors, no matter how confident they are, they must maintain a sense of etiquette and distance.

And when Yukimura became a third-year student and was himself a "senior" in the department, he didn't need to spend extra thought on coordinating the emotions of all grades.

More relaxed, more open, more relieved.

The Yukimura that Mori saw already had such a clear image.

Son of God...?

The somewhat exaggerated title given by the magazine at the beginning has become more appropriate now.

But maybe his judgment on Sanada was a bit one-sided. After all, he always avoided Sanada in order to avoid training.And there are often scenes where Sanada reprimands Kirihara loudly?I heard that during the period when Yukimura was hospitalized while he was in high school, what kind of "iron fist sanction" did the Tachikai Tennis Club... Ah, what a mystery, Sanada's change.

Better to blame Yukimura for the change.

Maori thought.

The last game was a match between Byodoin and Tokugawa.

Not only the two parties have been looking forward to this match for a long time, but other players who know the past of these two people are also very concerned about this match.Tokugawa's startling start, astonishing progress, and tricks beyond people's imagination... and Byodoin's domineering strength, violent temper, and psychological disintegration of Tokugawa as the No. 1 army The determination, on the contrary, aroused the irony of Tokugawa's potential...Huh?Maybe Byodoin itself wants to stimulate Tokugawa's potential?

Maori couldn't read the game.

Only those two people understand this game, if other people intervene...

Looking at Tokugawa, who vomited blood and fell to his knees, Maori suddenly remembered the scene he saw after climbing up the tree the night before.

Did that ball really hurt Tokugawa's body?

And even if you are injured, you have to defeat Byodoin with the determination to die?

Such determination...

Is this kind of determination what the Court of Equality has expected from the beginning to the end?

I really don't understand.Maori thought.

This group of seniors who usually joke around and play games at the symposium at night, what they look like on the field...

So shocking.

"Finally, Tokugawa-senpai fainted and was sent to the infirmary...ah, it's probably next to you, senpai. The next door should be the room where Tono-senpai lived with the junior high school students who were injured by him." Mori said .

Jiazhi, who was silent and listened to the end, nodded, showing a mocking expression: "What, it sounds like, in the six games, only your game is the most sloppy. If you don't intend to play with the determination to win, why not Just admit defeat before the game. Why is Ochi still letting you?"

"Don't say that, senior." Maori touched his nose.

Jiazhi picked up a marshmallow from the cabinet next to him and stuffed it into his mouth, squinting at Maori: "Hmph, did I say something wrong?"

"...No." Mao Li thought for a while and shook his head with a wry smile, "Senior, you are right."

"It's good to know." Jiazhi snorted coldly, "Don't be a big man, don't you feel ashamed that the opponent is a junior high school student and lost?"

He said and picked up another marshmallow.

Maori looked at him and felt like laughing instead.

He turned his head to the side and coughed softly: "By the way, senior, your injury...is it alright?"

Speaking of this, Jiazhi's face became gloomy again.

He chewed the marshmallow viciously: "Damn that guy!... Huh, what's the difference between a hypocritical and gentle appearance and Byodoin Temple? Tennis is a cruel sport! It was he who taught Tokugawa to be that limp Me? My injury didn’t heal so quickly!... I can’t make it to the preliminaries, and if the roster is handed in, I shouldn’t have anything to do with the national team this time.”

When he said the last sentence, his tone became flat.

Maori was stunned: "Huh?...Is it so serious?"

"...It's not all his problem." Jiazhi said angrily, "The previous injury has never healed, and it broke out all at once, and was given an ultimatum by the doctor. Ahhh, it's so annoying, every time it is at the most critical point It's time to lose the chain! I must go to Yamato to have a chat!"

Mori: ...What does it have to do with Minister Yamato?

Yamato: ...Even though I am a seriously wounded person, you really don't need to chat with me.

After being scolded, Mao Li walked out of the infirmary with an empty plate. He didn't dare to let the doctor know that he brought the marshmallow to Senior Jiazhi... Although there is no need to fast for trauma, but he is inexplicably guilty?

When he walked out the door, Mori turned his head and saw Oshichi standing with his back against the wall.

"Moonlight-san?" He blinked, "Why are you here?"

"Let me listen to how Jiazhi educates you." Yuezhi said lightly, "How is his injury?"

"...Senior, if you are worried, why don't you go in by yourself..." Mao Li's tone became weak as he spoke, and he laughed twice: "Let's go to train, Senior Moonlight~"

Ochi let out a soft snort.

As for why he didn't go to see Gaji...

It's fine if Mao Li is a first-year student, but if he goes in with Kaji's character, he will be scolded even worse! ... Didn't play a guiding role or something?

But Yue Zhi felt that it was not bad for Mao Li to be like this.

"Don't listen to Jiaji's complaints." He said flatly, "You can't interfere with the dispute between ghosts and the Byodoin Court. The end of interference by irrelevant people is just like Jiaji's."

"Oh." Molly replied.He paused, and said carefully: "Senior Jiazhi said that he would not be able to catch up with the national team."

Yue Zhi Wen Yan's footsteps stopped, and his voice became a little lower: "Tell him to be careful..."

The next few words of this sentence are low and Maori can't hear clearly.

But he heard clearly, Yue Zhi couldn't hold back his sigh before speaking.

This made him feel down too.

After training in the afternoon, a group of people from the First Army met again on the way to the cafeteria.

Maori was not in a good mood all afternoon, so he hung on to Ochi and walked towards the cafeteria.

He lazily propped up Ochi's shoulders, and he noticed that the eyes of his colleagues were involuntarily looking towards him.

Oops, trouble is dead.

Raising his eyelids, Mao Li dragged his voice and said: "If you want to see it, you can look at it openly, and if you want to ask something, you can ask it openly. It's weird for the seniors to look at me like this."

"I've known you for so long, but I didn't realize that you are so considerate, Maori." Irie said with a smile.

"Considerable?" Molly asked back.

"After losing the game, I specially gave the younger generation a coat..." Irie tilted his head, "The relationship must be very good."

"Of course." Maori nodded calmly, "I've spent more time with Xiao Renwang than with Moonlight."

He paused for a moment and said with a smile: "Senior, if I think I'm considerate...you can also learn how to use it against Tokugawa-san."

...and can you stop emphasizing that he lost.

Really, I didn't think there was anything...

Seniors are too hateful!

As soon as he got to the cafeteria, Moori let go of Ochi.

He felt that if he sat in the camp of high school students, he would definitely lose his appetite. Just by looking at the eyes of Senior Irie and Senior Taneshima, he knew that he would be squeezed out miserably.

I'd better go to Xiaoxing Village and the others to catch up!

Thinking of this, Mao Li slipped into Li Haida's camp.

When he passed by, King Ni was sitting in a corner with his head down, not knowing what to look at.

Mao Li walked over and hooked King Ni's neck: "What are you doing, little King Ren?"

He had sharp eyes, and when he saw the name of the recipient, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"Honey?" Maori blinked, "Is this a name or a title?"

"A pet name." King Ren replied without changing his face.

"...A pet name?" Mao Li opened his eyes slightly, "Xiao Ren Wang, are you in love?"

"This guy has been in love for a long time. Although it looks the same as not in love." Marui complained.

"What are you talking about?" Nio Yizheng retorted, "I'm serious about dating. Of course it's different after we talk about it with you. I'm going to talk directly from first love to marriage."

The others sitting around suddenly paused.

And at the same time as the voice fell, the sound of poof was endless.

Marui blushed from being choked.

He managed to catch his breath, and couldn't help but said, "Wait, have you considered getting married so early?"

"Isn't it?" King Ren asked back.

He raised his hand and pointed at Sanada: "I think Sanada will understand me very well."

Holding his breath, Sanada raised his hand and pressed the brim of his hat, and couldn't help saying in a deep voice, "It's too slack!"

Maori, who didn't react at all: Wait... in love?

"Xiao Niwang, you didn't tell my dear senior about your love affair!" Mao Li gritted his teeth and tightened the hand that hooked Niwang's neck, "It's so embarrassing!"

"...Pfft, if you let go, Senior will suffocate!"

A few hours later, Yuezhi picked up a sad-looking Maori in the dormitory.

He was silent for a while: "... What's the matter with you? Didn't you feel fine during training? Or is it because you have such a long reflex arc that you only feel sad now?"

"No, it's not for the competition." Maori sighed for a long time, "I was hit by a piece of news. You said, they are people who play tennis every day and have no time to go out except for training. People can fall in love and have girlfriends?"

Yuezhi: "..."

He felt that if Mao Li didn't lazily climb a tree to sleep or sleep in a corner alone after each training... then there should be no trouble in this regard.

Of course, he didn't intend to really say that.

"Don't think about it so much, train with a correct attitude." He said lightly.

"Yes yes yes..." Mao Li rested his chin, "Training training training. To be honest, senior, I always have a premonition that you will be single longer than me."

Yuezhi: "..."

"After all, not every girl can bear the pressure of a height of 226 cm~"

Yuezhi: "..."

Just kidding me, right?

Ah.

The author has something to say:

The next chapter enters the international competition!

The first is the beach strike-up with a full body dislocation!

Oh, it's so cute to write from a Maori perspective...

Why did I slowly make the character of Maori into this?incomprehensible...

Probably because Mori, who only reaches Ochi's shoulders in his imagination, really has a cute feeling of being a little bird... Maybe...

Hey, you annoying little goblins, the comments in the last chapter were blown up~

Just like that kind of plot, right?

I know.
