"Tajima - why are you here?" Irie Kanata looked up and looked at the dark-skinned young man behind him in surprise. "Aren't you taking a break?" How could Taneshima have the leisure to come and watch their game?
"I'm just too bored, so I came to watch your game--" He was the only one left in the U17 team training camp, and he was bored to death all day. To be honest, it was fortunate that Mitsuya Akuto told him that Niou would come, so he was a little more interested, otherwise, he would be bored to death!
Irie Kanata asked, "What do you mean by that?" What does Niou's behavior have to do with Rikkai Dai's protection? And what does it have to do with Yamato?
"Of course it is related--" Tanejima said, "Don't you know how Tezuka got the wound?"
Speaking of this, Irie Kanata was silent for a moment, "I know, Yamato told us about this--" Alas... sometimes, fate is really!
"So - this is why he hates Yamato? But we can't blame Yamato entirely for this." Irie Kanata had not expected this reason, but when he thought about it, it seemed normal. Those who play tennis are all passionate young men.
If so, from this perspective, it is not an exaggeration to have such an idea!
But--
"What does Seigaku have to do with Rikkai University?" Isn't that a bit overstepping one's authority? Although he thought so, Irie Kanata was relieved. Nioh was strong and would be the pillar of the future U17 team. He didn't want this person to have any problems with his character.
But there is another thing. Irie Kanata turned to look at Onijujiro. He only understood the truth after Shima Shuji came to explain. As for Onijujiro, this guy seemed to have believed in Nioh's character from the beginning.
How did he know the character of the King?
"Ghost, are you hiding something from me? About that Niou Masaharu!" Irie Kanata had a 'sincere' smile on his face. "Please answer this question seriously~"
Ghost: "..." Well~ should I tell you?
The look of Onijūjiro who seemed to be hesitant to say it made Tanejima Shuji excited. Oh~ we are a fellow traveler!
"Oh, I thought I was the only one in the entire training camp who knew about this, but - I didn't expect it!" Shuji Tanejima's eyes lit up.
Onijūjiro was stunned, "You know that too?" How did this guy know that? The Byodoin Phoenix guy should have kept it a secret.
Oh, that's not right~ In that game, some of Nioh's actions did have some shadows of Shima Shuji. So -
There's something wrong with Onijujiro's expression~
This guy, Byodoin Phoenix, is really good! He has almost found everyone in the training camp!
"So, what are you two talking about?" Irie Kanade tried hard to smile. When did so many things happen in this training camp that he didn't know about, and why did these two guys in front of him know about them?
"Hehe~ It's about Niou, you can ask Gui for details!" Tanejima Shuji didn't want to be the leaker. What if Byodoin Phoenix had other plans by then, and he revealed Niou Masaharu's information to Irie Kanata in advance, wouldn't that be bad!
Therefore, this kind of offensive thing should be done by Onijujiro.
Onijūjiro: “…” It’s really you, Shuji Tanejima.
Facing Irie Kanata's eyes that were full of interest and even a little dark, Onijujiro was speechless, should he say it or not?
Let's talk about it. It's hard to explain the situation with the Phoenix of Byodoin. This mainly involves some secrets of U17 and the problem of Niou, a junior. Even as a senior, Kijujiro can't say anything rashly.
Considering Niou, Kijujiro was a little hesitant. He was still very optimistic about the strength of Niou, the junior, and Kijujiro also admired his tireless spirit.
But let’s not talk about this. Now that Irie Kanata is here, it’s hard to explain here!
"Um...why don't you go ask him yourself?" said Oni Jujiro. "After all, it involves Niou's personal secrets, so it's better to ask him. It's not good for us as seniors to expose too many of his secrets!"
In the beginning, Kijujiro was a little hesitant, but the more he spoke, the more he felt he was right. Yes, that's the truth. To be a senior, you must act like a senior.
"…Okay then!" Irie Kanata said without changing his expression. It seemed that he had already known clearly that Onijūjiro would not tell him this ending.
He said calmly, "But, Ghost, you actually rejected my first request for the sake of an outsider, so you shouldn't reject the second one!"
When Onijushirou heard this, he paused:...What do you mean by for outsiders? Why does this sound weird?
Tanejima Shuji, who hadn't walked far yet, was also stunned. Yay, he seemed to have heard some gossip...
"Tell me what happened first!" Onijujiro decided to listen first and then work.
"In the one-on-one fight later - let this Niou Masaharu come down and fight me. I'll come and see for myself what he can do!"
This position replacement match was jointly initiated by Onijūjiro and Irie Kanata.
In addition to informing the members of both sides of the match in advance, the rest of the information was not told to others. And this information included the participants. Since it was Nioh's secret, neither Onijiro nor Tanejima Shuji chose to tell it.
Well - let him figure it all out himself!
"How is it?" Irie Kanata said, "Isn't this request too much for you who is currently guarding the fifth court?"
Kijujiro frowned slightly, "But the singles player I chose at the beginning was Atobe Keigo!" Although he didn't tell Atobe Keigo, it seemed that such a secret change of players was not a good idea.
"That's easy - Atobe Keigo continues to play singles, and I'll be the substitute, and we'll add a substitute match!"
Today, Irie Kanade is determined to fight with Nioh today.
"Okay!" At this point, Onijushirou couldn't refuse. So - "Then you can arrange it!"
…
In the competition field, the match between Yamato and Tezuka was still going on. After Yamato said something to Tezuka, in front of everyone's shocked eyes, Tezuka actually developed a perfect move.
"This must be the third person who developed the perfect solution!"
"Yeah, first it was Echizen Ryoma, then it was Niou, and now it's finally Tezuka's turn!"
Because of its flawless design, Nioh attracted a lot of attention again.
Compared to his lazy state just now, because it was so seamless, Niou looked at Tezuka with a much more serious look.
but--
Niou snorted at Yukimura, "That's why I feel even more resentful and heartbroken for him!"
Tezuka Kunimitsu was so powerful that he was only one step away from perfection, but he was stuck at this step for three whole years because of one person.
Alas~
"If Tezuka hadn't been injured that year and had been able to develop perfectly in time, perhaps the Seigaku team led by him would have made us the biggest rival for the national championship!"
Yukimura sighed as he looked at Tezuka, who was shining brightly on the court.
