Chapter 207: Players lead U17 vs. West...
[Ding!]
【Would you like to accept the 'special invitation from Echizen Nanjiro'? 】
【-YES】 【-NO】
The system pop-up window was hanging brightly in front of the eyes, flashing, and completely blocking the player's vision.
Not to mention other things, even the culprit Echizen Nanjiro who was right next to him was blurred by mosaics.
The system pop-up window stayed for a long time, as if it would not disappear unless he made a choice.
Player: “…”
I looked at the additional TIPS and studied them carefully.
Is this... poaching at the last minute?
['If you accept, you can change your team to the U-17 Spanish national team!']
Unlock new faction or new map?
The players looked through it, confirming it was just the faction and not the map, and glanced again with regret.
Just press your claws, Click·【NO】!
Echizen Nanjiro waited very patiently.
Looking at the black-haired boy in front of me,
'Yagi Kei',
Logically speaking, I shouldn't have invited him now~
However, as early as when this warship was formed, the core figure that was already targeted was——
As it should be, the finale
What difference does it make whether it’s earlier or later? It’s better to say - it’s more interesting because it’s now.
Echizen Nanjiro was just watching the fun, not minding the trouble, and even fanning the flames, hoping the situation would become more chaotic.
Witnessing the new U-17 Japanese national team, led by Kei Yagi, overcome all obstacles and rise to the U-17 World Cup finals—
The time has come.
"--How about it, young man, are you excited?"
Echizen Nanjiro's careless voice came again.
"Becoming rivals with current teammates and heading out into the wider world—it's all very interesting, isn't it?"
Echizen Nanjiro could almost be sure that the person in front of him,
Yagi Kei has no concept of country or faction.
"This guy...was born for pure tennis and victory!"
Smiling casually, with his sharp teeth biting his cheek, Echizen Nanjiro stared at him with his upturned eyes.
Having dealt with this kid before, he knew it very well - in Yagi Kei's heart, there was no such thing as any companions!
Even his teammates from the previous second would be quickly beaten to the other side of the net if they were to hinder him from advancing on the ladder of victory.
Indifferent and cruel to the point of being indifferent,
Well, well—but that’s exactly what’s going on.
The Spanish team with 'Kei Yagi' as the core,
It fits perfectly!
Echizen Nanjiro cast the bait and hook, patiently waiting for the cat in his mind to take the bait.
After all——but I really can't think of any other reason that could hold Yagi Kei back.
There is no sense of family and country, no concept of teammates,
I only long for victory, for a new kind of tennis.
So for him, the U-17 Japanese national team can no longer bring any freshness.
It's simply the best springboard——!
Echizen Nanjiro almost keenly saw the greedy monster in the heart of Yagi Kei.
To win, to lose, to everything...
——So, now he can be absolutely sure,
This guy would definitely accept his invitation, abandon the U-17 Japanese team that could no longer bring him freshness, and turn his attention to the completely unfamiliar and more interesting U-17 Spanish team.
"oh."
The cat said, "I don't want it."
“…”
“…”
"Huh?"
Quite crisp, quite neat, quite decisive,
Echizen Nanjiro's ambitions and grand speeches,
He was tripped all of a sudden and was shocked.
“…”
Yagi Kei looked at him,
He looked at Yagi Kei,
Big eyes versus dead fish eyes,
The players waited and waited,
Are you okay?
So the reason for stopping the players is just for this little thing?
Waste of time.
A sharp comment, without even looking at the special weekly boss Echizen Nanjiro who has lost his effect,
The black-haired boy brushed past and walked straight to the end without looking back.
Echizen Nanjiro was left standing there dumbfounded, unable to recover from the shock.
“——Huh? Huh! Huh!?!”
No, this, that... Why doesn't this guy play by the rules?!
His Spanish warships—the Grand Fleet—
Wait, don't leave yet—
Only Echizen Nanjiro stretched out his hand from behind to cry and beg to stay.
The hard-hearted Jibaimao still didn't turn back.
——There is no obligation to switch camps,
Players, to the 'U-17 Spanish National Team' who may or will become their opponent,
The only simple thought was 'a new BOSS is coming'.
For the special weekly boss that comes to the door, with just one sentence, he wants to force the player to turn around, change camps, and start from a soldier.
——Don’t even think about it, no way!
You don't give the horse grass to eat, but expect it to run fast.
In the 'U-17 Japan National Team', the player is the head coach of less than 0 players and more than 100 players!
How could I possibly give up my current position just to try a new faction?
While thinking this, he left without looking back and saved the game.
However, after completing this ending, if players are still interested, they can go back and reload the file to try again.
Forget about the short-lived Nanjiro Echizen and the U-17 Spanish national team.
While checking the latest task progress, automatically navigate out of the contestant channel,
At the end, the U-17 Japanese team, which had already left the field, was already waiting there.
As soon as the black-haired boy appeared, the evil kelp-headed poisonous Wei of the Jibai Cat Quan Ke Cult pounced directly on him——
"Wow, Kei! So slow! How could it be so slow? It took you so long to walk such a short distance!"
Not only him, but others also gathered around.
With a perfect finish, they won the U-17 World Cup quarter-finals.
JAPAN VS AMERICA,
Against the captain of the U.S. team, Ralph Rinehart,
A complete crushing victory - this is what it means to be above everyone in the U-17 Japanese national team.
The pinnacle - Yagi Kei's strength!
As if noticing something, Byodoin Phoenix raised his eyes and saw the contestant passage where Yagi Kei came out.
There were shadows, as if there were other figures.
He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Did something happen?"
This statement hit the nail on the head.
Suddenly, several people from U-17 who hadn't noticed anything else and had vaguely sensed something were looking at the same time.
Several pairs of eyes stared at the chicken and the cat.
In the center of the sight, the player being watched is still refreshing the pop-up window prompt.
I quickly glanced at the conversation between the NPCs gathered in front of me,
I replied casually,
"Spanish."
“……?”
This sudden sentence made everyone confused.
"Spanish?"
"...What does that mean?"
At this moment, a cat language translator is urgently needed.
With a sigh, he had no choice but to send his most patient one, Yukimura Seiichi, forward to ask in a roundabout way with kind words.
"Kyu, 'Spaniards' means..."
He paused, then something occurred to him. "Is it the U-17 Spanish national team?"
Jibaimao took the time out of his busy schedule to glance at him and gave him a look of affirmation.
Sensing the sight, Yukimura Seiichi's brows jumped.
After all, the U-17 Spanish national team appeared in the players' tunnel.
So far, we are completely strangers and have never met each other.
But, what exactly do they want to do by appearing in front of Kei...
"Are you here to declare war? Or to provoke? Or perhaps..."
He raised questions one after another, closely watching the expression on the younger generation's face, although he couldn't see anything.
But with the knowledge of cats among the people at Rikkai,
If the correct answer is given, then it will definitely be——
"—I get it, you're here to recruit, right? I know! That's how it's played out on TV!"
Toyama Kintaro's voice suddenly rang out, hinting at excitement.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became quiet.
Jibaimao, who seemed to be distracted, glanced at him again.
Just one glance and the answer is fresh.
“…”
"Ha, ha ha, ha ha ha..."
I know, but I don’t really want to know.
poach people,
It would be bad enough if they poached people, but they poached their own people.
It would be fine if we dug it on their heads,
As soon as I dug, I found a piece of chicken and a cat!
Who would poach someone by digging directly into the aorta?
Suddenly, everyone's favorable impression of the U-17 Spanish national team dropped rapidly.
Players don't care what the NPCs are thinking.
Finally finished clicking all the new information pop-up windows, but I still have a little time left to complete the daily tasks.
He flew straight past the NPCs blocking his way and left without even looking back!
——Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up,
The player's trash can hasn't been rummaged through yet!!
I watched helplessly as the figure of Jibaimao left gracefully.
The U-17 players who were left behind were in mixed emotions.
I dare not ask whether the cat was dug or not dug or directly dug in the opposite direction.
However, what is certain now is that—
They dug people right in front of them, which was simply digging up trouble.
——So far, apart from Jibaimao coming out of the contestant channel, no one has left.
In other words - the guy who blatantly poached people is still there! !
“…”
Looking at each other, a common idea came into their minds.
Even without communication, just a glance,
Everyone tacitly picked up their rackets. Those who didn't bring their own borrowed one from those who had extra rackets.
At this time, there is no distinction between each other,
After all, they now have a common goal——
——Punish the cat thief!
“——Aa ...
"How dare you poach someone from Yagi-sama! How can I fix this——!"
"Damn Spaniards! Kill that Spaniard!!"
Shouting slogans silently, everyone lay in ambush, waiting for the opportunity.
A passerby, Ryoma Echizen, who had joined the show in the chaos, whistled.
He probably knew something about the inside story, so he was just watching the fun without any hesitation.
He folded his arms and dodged to the side, watching the whole process calmly and at the front line.
“…Here he comes, out, that guy is out—”
"Hurry, hurry, get ready, listen to my command - count down -"
“——3!!”
“2——!”
“——1!!”
“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!”
Echizen Nanjiro, Rejected Edition, scratched his head, put his hands in his sleeves, and walked out of the contestant tunnel slowly.
When I looked up, the sky brightened, and then it became dark again.
Echizen Nanjiro: "...?"
It's getting dark so fast, what's going on...
——No, something’s wrong!!
What came crashing down on us wasn't darkness, it was clearly layers of human figures!
Even if Echizen Nanjiro is agile and skilled, and can defeat ten enemies at once,
But there are more than ten!
As soon as they heard someone was going to dig up chickens and cats, the entire U-17 Japanese national team rushed over.
Junior high school students, high school students, and the cheering members from each school who hadn't left the audience yet,
A huge crowd of people came over, carrying tennis rackets, cheering banners, and even popcorn.
The exit of the contestant channel was surrounded by crowds of people!
“——”
“—I got it! I got it!!”
"——We caught the cat thief!!"
The loud shout came from none other than Takeshi Momoshiro who jumped down from the audience seats, took action and led the way!
Surrounded by the crowd, he grabbed the cat thief's wrist and clasped it behind his back.
"——Damn cat thief, let us see your true face!!"
Momoshiro Takeshi reached out and pulled the black cloth bag off the face of the "cat thief"!
Under the black cloth bag - are sunglasses!
The familiar sunglasses, hurried over, Horio Satoshi, Kato Katsuo, and Mizuno Katsuro, all said "huh" in surprise.
"It's... it's that weird uncle who just suddenly disappeared!"
The three people's voices were so small and fragmented that they quickly blended into the tide of noise and no one noticed.
At this moment, Momoshiro Takeshi reached out and took off his sunglasses!
Under the sunglasses, a face that was bruised and battered suddenly appeared before his eyes.
Taocheng Wu widened his eyes, wanting to look around to see who dared to do such a heinous thing in front of them!
A face to face,
Momoshiro Takeshi: “!!”
His expression couldn't deceive anyone; it was stiff, stuck, hesitant, and—
Confused.
"Hey, hey, why is it you——"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a connection.
——The cat thief is actually an acquaintance?!
As soon as Momoshiro Takeshi spoke, everyone from Qingxue squeezed to the front row.
"Momoshiro, what happened?"
Tezuka was the first to speak, followed closely by Fuji who also narrowed his eyes and looked over.
"A Tao...?"
After being called out twice in succession, even the big-hearted Momoshiro Takeshi was a little hesitant.
Not for himself, but for those who have not appeared in this place yet...
"Senior Tao?"
——Appeared!
"——He's usually so unavailable, yet now he shows up when something bad happens. What kind of luck is that?!"
Taocheng Wu complained in his heart, "Hey, this, that..."
An idea suddenly struck him, and he immediately stretched out his hand and pointed far outward.
"—Look! Yagi is flying in the sky!!"
All of them "swish" together,
Several heads were in perfect order, all looking in the direction that Taocheng Wu pointed!
There was no time to catch his breath - Taocheng was about to push a certain "cat thief" away from the crime scene.
"sack,"
Suddenly, a sound suddenly appeared in the chaos at this moment -
It is Ryoma Echizen who refuses to go along with the corrupt and is extremely sober!
Staring coldly at Momoshiro Takeshi who was trying to hide something, Echizen Ryoma pointed out the truth.
"That guy, doesn't he fly in the sky every day?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked!
truth!
——This is simply the truth!
If it were normal, Momoshiro Takeshi would definitely feel that Echizen Ryoma's words were true.
But now—
He silently looked at Echizen Ryoma, then at Echizen Nanjiro.
Emotions, complex and intertwined,
Hey, Ryoma.
Do you know who you are holding on to now?
Momoshiro Takeshi did not let go, and Echizen Ryoma did not retreat.
There was a stalemate between the two, and even others noticed that something was wrong.
The gaze moves back and forth,
Shiraishi Kuranosuke, who wanted to smooth things over, spoke up.
"Haha, everyone, please don't hurt the harmony. Now that we've caught them, just announce it directly. No matter who it is, let's just stick to the facts, right..."
"Yes, yes."
“That’s right!”
As soon as these words were spoken, they all followed suit.
Momoshiro Takeshi was silent, and looked deeply at Echizen Ryoma.
"...He really did his best."
"Whatever happens next, he can no longer be blamed."
"Ryoma, hold on."
Reaching out and grabbing, the true face of the 'cat thief' finally appeared before everyone's eyes—
Qingxue was stunned.
Li Hai was stunned for a moment.
We have met and interacted with each other.
Others were unaware of this, but the atmosphere suddenly changed.
Driven by the momentum, they all turned their heads, their sights slowly focusing, and finally stopped at——
On Ryoma Echizen and Ryoma Echizen!
After all, the so-called 'cat thief' has the exact same face as them!!
“…Oh, so this is…”
"yes……"
It doesn't need to be stated, you already know it.
It looks like it can't be fooled.
Echizen Ryoma was silent, and Echizen Ryoma took out an orange from his pocket and was about to acknowledge it.
"Yes, this person is..."
"—I don't know him."
Interrupting the conversation, Echizen Ryoma spoke very quickly, turning his head as he spoke.
"How dare he steal a cat? This old man must be taught a lesson."
He pulled down his hat, pushed down the visor, and said quickly,
"Go ahead and beat them up, I'll keep watch."
“…”
“…”
Even the people in Rikkai had to remain silent.
"—But that person is not clearly—"
Kirihara Akaya also has something to say. After all, when accompanying Jibaimao to challenge the weekly BOSS,
They had seen this face of Echizen Nanjiro countless times.
It is impossible to admit mistakes.
So, this guy is definitely——
Yanagi Renji reached out his hand, held Kirihara Akaya, shook his head, and blocked his next words.
Yukimura Seiichi also sighed slightly.
Kirihara Akaya: "Minister Yukimura..."
Genichirō Sanada: "To sacrifice one's own interests for the greater good, one must retreat bravely from the current situation."
“…”
"At a time like this...it's a good strategy."
"yes."
“——”
The cat-stealing incident caused by Echizen Nanjiro ultimately achieved nothing.
The U-17 Japanese national team remains unchanged, with Kei Yagi as head coach.
Lead, rule, judge,
In contrast,
——The super battleship of the U-17 Spanish national team, the "soul core" figure targeted by Echizen Nanjiro, has now been confirmed to be unable to return.
Not only Kei Yagi, but also Ryuga Echizen.
"The coach's idea failed..."
"Well, didn't you feel it when you saw that Center—"
"Frio——"
"Okay, okay, I'll shut up, Mars,"
"And what do you think—Romifil?"
The person whose name was called was sitting on a sofa in the public lounge area of the U-17 Spanish team, looking back and smiling.
"My thoughts?"
"Since our Center is unwilling to return—then, all we need to do is let him see us clearly, right?"
"——Romiphil, you always say something that pleases people!"
Mars, who looked like a beautiful woman, said happily, and turned around again,
"So, over there—Medanore, and... Seda, what are your thoughts—"
Medanore, who looked solemn, and Seda, who was wearing a mask and covering his expression, did not speak.
However, one of them was looking at a certain figure on the broadcast, namely - Tokugawa Kazuya.
Another one was staring straight at two junior high school students - Ryoma Echizen and Kintaro Toyama!
"Oh...oh, it seems that these two on our side have also been completely hooked."
Mars du Collom laughed and joked,
Fririo looked around. "—So, the coach is now..."
"Hospital,"
Romeo Fernandez put on his clothes, lifted up his Spanish royal dress-style coat and put it directly on his shoulders.
"I'm going to see him now. Is there anything you want me to tell you?"
"Ah... in that case,"
Mars di Collone remembered something and laughed happily.
"Just tell the coach—even if there's no Center,"
"Our battleship will definitely be able to successfully sail out to sea!"
Hearing this, Romeo Fernandez smiled and said,
"Of course, Mars."
“——”
“It’s out! It’s out!!”
"The next opponent is here!!"
U-17 Japan National Team, Public Rest Area,
Thunder roared suddenly from the sky.
Suddenly opened the door,
The voice arrives before the person arrives.
There was no time to feel any extra emotion about his rudeness, the content of his words had already taken over everything.
No suspense, racing against time, speaking very fast,
Saito Toichi's projection, publicly screened,
"Today's match between the German national team and the Spanish national team,"
"The world's No. 1 German team suffered a major upset, and the Spanish team overtook them."
"In this U-17 World Cup final, we're going to face the Spanish national team!"
“…”
“…”
He poured out all his words like a string of pearls, waiting for a reaction from the U-17 people below, but nothing came.
The coaching staff looked at it in confusion, and then took a closer look.
The expressions on the faces of the people gathered here were somewhat subtle.
"What's wrong with you guys?"
"Eh, eh..."
"It's not that there's anything wrong, it's just..."
Hesitant to speak,
After all, the Spanish national team sent their coach to steal cats...
"I just didn't expect... that the German team would actually lose to the Spanish team."
The sentence came back round again,
The coaching staff accepted the words and said,
"After all, everyone on this year's Spanish team is no ordinary player,"
"and……"
He pressed, "And what—?"
Takushi Ryuji spoke mysteriously, "And I heard that the official coach of the Spanish national team has finally returned—!"
"Legend has it that he single-handedly built this year's Spanish national team,"
"It is said that he is a famous legendary figure..."
They looked at each other, paused,
"'Legendary'...?"
The U-17 Japanese team, who had all participated in the punishment and beating of the "cat thief", felt a little guilty, but soon they regained their courage.
——For the cat, no matter what Spanish "legendary coach" is,
Even if the king of heaven comes, I will still beat you!
"...In that case, the opponent for the next battle has indeed been determined."
"yes,"
"The Spanish team..."
"Now, we must prepare,"
The coaching staff spoke out.
"...What preparations?"
Saito, Kurobe Yukifu, and even Takushi Ryuji all looked at them.
"Of course - preparations for the decision in the preliminary round!"
"Each of you has the opportunity to play, but only the final seven will actually stand on the court!"
"That is to say—"
"—Seven people representing the country,"
"I will choose from among you!"
The momentum is ignited and ready to explode!
Everyone is eager to try, hoping, expecting and looking forward to it!
For players,
