Chapter 89: Update 1 + Update 2 Players are rescued by Atobe Keigo! ...
The enthusiastic Shitenhoji and Ichiuji Yuji who tried to fill the huge cauliflower gap with some mosaics left an indelible impression on Rikkai University and Hyotei.
The holy light before his eyes was so intense that it left a deep mark on his retina.
After a long pause, everyone finally managed to free themselves from that awkward scene.
However, on the court, the battle between Rikkai University and Shitenhoji is still going on!
As someone who witnessed this scene directly, Atobe Keigo's mentality was somewhere between Schrödinger's collapse and perseverance.
It seems that I can bear it, but the threshold of tolerance doesn't seem to be that high.
It can be said that it is unbearable, but it doesn’t seem to have reached the point where I would collapse and quit.
But when I looked more closely, I saw on the left! It was a huge cauliflower that was held by my teammate Jibaimao——
On the right! A dazzling mosaic of holy light, completely pulled down by a chicken-and-cat-like opponent—!
He was sandwiched between two sides, and Keigo Atobe, who was alone, seemed particularly out of place.
As for whether it was too normal and therefore out of place, Atobe Keigo really had nothing to say.
Of course, besides Atobe Keigo, there is another lucky guest who is also caught in the white-hot and anxious battlefield -
That's it! Golden Koharu!!
He was stepped on the head by Yuji Ichiuji, and then witnessed Yuji Ichiuji's Holy Light Ojinjin at the closest distance!
Before they could even feel shy or blush, the next people to arrive at the battlefield were the trouser-clad army from Shitenhoji!
"Put on your pants, Ichi-shi!"
"——Someone, come and save him! It will be over if Yishi wakes up!!"
"Enter in an orderly manner—Lady first!"
Golden Xiaochun slowly stretched out Erkang's hand: "No——"
He hadn't seen Yuji-kun's Ou Jinjin thoroughly yet——
“Wow!!”
Golden Koharu was punished by Shiraishi Kuranosuke who saw through his thoughts at a glance.
After the chaos, Ichiuji Yuji and Golden Koharu finally calmed down. Holding their rackets, they finally stopped standing on one leg and stood on the court like normal doubles partners.
Everyone in Shi Tianbao Temple was so nervous that they broke out in a cold sweat.
"It's really not easy, not easy..."
"Yeah yeah."
They really paid a lot for Yuji Ichiuji's innocence.
Oshitari Yuushi, who had returned to his serious demeanor, blew the whistle again.
"Rikkai University vs. Shitenhoji——2:0!"
Since the beginning, Yagi Kei won two sets in a row, suppressing the golden Koharu and Ichiuji Yuji combination.
Even Keigo Atobe next to him was treated as a vase.
"...Is this still doubles?"
The members of Shitenhoji couldn't help but whisper, "This is just a one-on-one match for him..."
Niou Masaharu caught it with his sharp ears and silently glanced at the group of Shitenhoji members who were unaware of the truth.
It's really... It's rare that a bitch doesn't cherish the time when he behaves like a human being. When this guy starts to behave like a bad person... That's really bad...
Niou Masaharu smiled but said nothing, and everyone in Rikkai who shared the same idea smiled but said nothing.
Sensing the sinister atmosphere around them, Shiraishi Kuranosuke and the others turned around in confusion.
Wow——!
The Rikkai people, who were lying on the ground with their hands on their heads, laughed out loud at the floor.
There was a moment of silence.
Kintaro Toyama shook Shiraishi Kuranosuke's neck curiously: "Shiraishi Shiraishi—what are they laughing at?"
"...No, I don't know either," Shiraishi Kuranosuke said slowly.
"But for now... it's better to pretend you don't know, Xiao Jin."
The serve changes, Shitenhoji serves!
Now, Atobe Keigo is facing——
It’s teammate Kei Yagi carrying a giant cauliflower!
And the cosplay of Kei Yagi's dead-eye version of Yuji Ichiuji!
As for Golden Koharu, he was already deeply immersed in the sorrow of being forgotten by Yuji Ichiuji.
Golden Xiaochun's sadness, like the wide noodles of tears hanging on his face, flows like a river.
Everyone outside the field focused their attention on Yagi Kei. Of course, they had to focus even if they didn't want to.
After all, who is the member of the tennis club... and he started carrying a giant cauliflower while playing!
Is this really not a foul?! It's clearly disturbing everyone!
In response to this, Rikkai University's president, Yukimura Seiichi, had this to say: "Well... this part can be considered Kei's characteristic..."
He smiled calmly and said kindly, "If you really feel bad, you could think of that cauliflower as a slightly larger... tennis racket? Wouldn't that make it seem a lot easier?"
“…”
“………”
"...Is that a slightly larger size?"
As if thinking of something, Yukimura Seiichi added, "Of course, if you're worried about getting hurt, you can just crawl on the ground like us, holding your head."
He even got up from the ground and demonstrated again with his head in his hands. The team jacket draped over his shoulders fluttered throughout the process, but he remained firm and firm. Yukimura smiled and nodded as if guiding him.
"—How about that, it's pretty simple, right?"
Silence, silence is the Shitenboji Temple today.
Although everyone has always been proud of being a "famous family of showmanship", it does not mean that it is all nonsense showmanship!
At least there has to be some logic!!
But compared with the Rikkai freshman in front of them, they were just like rookies.
No, what on earth do these people at Rikkai University go through every day? ! !
Is there really no problem with this school?!
It feels like not only the members, but even the manager is acting abnormally!!
Resisting the urge to complain, everyone at Shitenbo Temple laughed it off and politely changed the subject with a smile.
Naturally, he missed Yukimura Seiichi's slightly regretful look.
Liu, who was crawling on the ground and still flipping through his notes, slowly shook his head, "It's okay, Jingshi, you've done your best."
"Just save as many people as you can,"
Yukimura Seiichi looked at the field from afar, "I really hope Kei can show some mercy to Shitenhoji..."
On the court,
The player carrying the giant cauliflower has no idea about the NPC's mental activities.
The player was surprised when he found the giant cauliflower he had picked up on a whim and felt the long-lost feel of it when he equipped it in his weapon slot.
Wait, this feeling... in other words,
Players are finally not weakened? ! !
On the status bar, there is no red lock, no debuff, no numerical reduction,
Players have gained the long-lost freedom!
Player Power——is back!!
Atobe Keigo held the racket, distractedly sensing the state of his teammates beside him, while concentrating most of his attention on resisting the golden Koharu and Ichiuji Yuji combination at any time.
Although the opponent's performance is not very reliable now, Atobe Keigo did not take it lightly.
After all, it is Shitenhoji, a national power, so let him see what this duo has to show so far.
Yuji Ichiji took out a tennis ball from his pocket, pinched it between his fingers and twisted his wrist slightly, causing the ball to spin in an arc as it fell.
Yuji Ichiuji jumped up, bent his knees, and swung his racket—
“Bang!!”
Atobe Keigo's pupils shrank slightly.
The yellow ball came straight towards me with a hum like lightning.
This, this is——
The butterfly shot that Yagi Keina had used in his previous service game...
No, there are still some subtle differences!
It's not that fast, and the naked eye can barely catch the trajectory of the ball.
"Bang!"
A racket stretched out from the front of my eyes like a vine extending its branches.
Atobe Keigo, who was frozen in place by the opening move of the Butterfly Ball, suddenly saw a blur in his vision. He caught a glimpse of an approaching figure from the corner of his eye.
It was Kei Yagi who helped him block the ball?
Is this guy so kind...
Atobe Keigo's emotions are a little complicated.
This is a rare moment of humanization for Jibai Cat, and he even provides support at a critical moment.
The subtle emotion that was about to fill my heart suddenly disappeared without a trace when my eyes glanced at a certain point.
No, that's not right!
This guy is carrying a green shadow...
Atobe Keigo finally saw clearly what was happening in front of him.
No, Yagi Kei wasn't holding a racket at all—he was clearly carrying a giant cauliflower! !
How can this thing actually be used to play ball? ! !
A gust of wind blew from the side of his face, and Keigo Atobe's body instinctively took over. He quickly flexed his legs and retreated, almost crawling backwards.
For the sake of life, don't be embarrassed!
Even so, he was almost targeted by the giant cauliflower following behind him.
After having managed to save his life through great difficulty, Atobe Keigo raised his head again and saw
The tennis ball that was thrown like yellow lightning was blasted back without hesitation by the figure who took a step to the landing point!
Previously, the ball had only made a slight buzzing sound when it was served, but now, after being counterattacked by the giant cauliflower, it had become an exploding sonic ball. It even faintly tore through the space around it, and strange green sparks appeared...
Everyone watched as he rushed straight towards the other side of the net, Yuji Ichiuji... no, golden Koharu!
Shiraishi Kuranosuke clutched the guardrail tightly, his face stern, full of worry and tension: "Koharu!!"
Golden Xiaochun was completely unaware, and by the time his keen senses caught something unusual, it was already too late!
The yellow-green tennis ball, like a cannonball, was coming straight at his face, carrying immense power.
Golden Xiaochun: “!!”
There was only 0.00001 seconds left at the critical moment. He quickly raised the tennis ball with his backhand to barely serve as a barrier between the ball and himself!
“——BOOM!! CRASH!!”
The teeth-grinding friction sounds came one after another, like a hundred cats scratching glass with their sharp claws at the same time, noisy and harsh.
In just a moment of breathing, not even a second of pause, the fierce tennis ball had already mercilessly broken and destroyed the racket strings!
The ball almost knocked Golden Xiaochun out with such force that he was almost pushed away by it!
He spun 360 degrees, his hands and feet moving non-stop, and flew away with a "clattering" sound like a windmill.
Atobe Keigo, who was not implicated because he ran fast: "..."
Although he was not hit, Yuji Ichiji was disheveled in the wind: "..."
This fierce and powerful ball finally woke up Yuji Ichiuji who was immersed in imitation.
After staring intently for a while, Ichiuji Yuji slowly came back to his senses and looked around blankly.
"Koharu... Where's Koharu?"
At this time, everyone didn't know whether to express their admiration for the strong relationship between the doubles partners.
We should still sigh that Kei Yagi's goal was simply a miracle cure, as he cured Yuji Ichiuji's sudden illness in one go.
No one spoke, only Ichiuji Yuji kept asking, "Where is Koharu? Will she be home for dinner tonight?"
Silently gazing at the ceiling above the tennis court, a human-shaped hole was blasted out.
And the golden Xiaochun who was nestled right in the human-shaped hole.
Watanabe Osamu, the coach of Shitenboji Temple, slowly took out the toothpick from his mouth and turned his head. "Shiraishi,"
Shiraishi Kuranosuke: “…”
He resigned himself to his fate, "Everyone... lend a hand to save Xiaochun."
Not only Shitenhoji Temple, but even Rikkai University lent a hand this time.
After all, in the final analysis, there is no way around the relationship with them.
During the fight, he even knocked his teammates to the ceiling or something...
Helping silently, enduring and enduring, Shiraishi Kuranosuke still couldn't help it, and quietly asked Sanada Genichirō next to him,
"Deputy Minister Sanada, did situations like this happen often when you were at Rikkai University...?"
Genichiro Sanada: "..."
It's not often that a member is knocked up to the ceiling.
What seems to appear more often are bombs, nuclear bombs, mushroom clouds...
Looking at Genichirō Sanada who had fallen into inexplicable silence, Shiraishi Kuranosuke seemed to have understood something. Looking at the people in Rikkai, he felt an inexplicable pity in his heart.
He slowly patted Sanada Genichirō's shoulder and said, "It's okay, Sanada-kun, it's okay."
The rescued Golden Xiaochun has entered a semi-comatose state.
Everyone at Shitenbo Temple looked at each other in bewilderment. "Oh no! What should we do now?"
"Should I call the school doctor or an ambulance?"
Atobe Keigo pushed the crowd aside and said, "Leave it to me! The emergency team under the Atobe Foundation, just one call from me -"
“Crash!”
The clear sound of water pouring down,
Everyone turned around in confusion. The golden Xiaochun lying on the ground had been poured a bucket of an unknown dark green liquid emitting a turbid and ominous smell by the mushroom head who was squatting in front of him at some point.
“…”
“………”
"...Is poisoning now so open and aboveboard?"
Shitenhoji didn't know what was going on, but Rikkai University responded.
Kirihara Akaya exclaimed in surprise: "It's Kei Juice!!"
"...Keishi?" Kenya Oshitari repeated.
Niou Masaharu: "Puri~ Since Kei has brought out Kei Juice, then there won't be any problem, probably... 3."
Chitose Chisato: “…3?”
Marui Bunta held his head in his hands while chewing bubble gum, blowing out bubbles while mumbling, "Hi hi... 2!"
Zaizen Guang: "What 3? What 2?"
Toyama Kintaro looked around and suddenly realized: "--I know! It's the countdown!!"
“——1!”
“Wa ...
Golden Xiaochun jumped up from the spot with a somersault, covering his mouth with his hands, his face pale and he looked as bad as if he had eaten a pound of stinky rags from the sewer.
"Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh..."
Ichiuji Yuji was overjoyed and rushed forward to give her a hug full of love——
Golden Xiaochun struggled to push away the people blocking her way, such as Shiraishi Kuranosuke, Chitose Chisato, Oshitari Kenya, Zaizen Hikaru, and Toyama Kintaro...
Finally, he saw the glimmer of hope of escaping, but Ichiuji Yuji raised his head and pouting his flaming red lips, flying towards him.
Time, in this second, extends
Slow motion playback, Ichiuji Yuji's red lips, Jinse Koharu's pale face,
And then, the mosaic came crashing down on me!
Continuously, the more you spit out, the more you have.
The people gathered in a circle around them all took a step back uncontrollably, making room for the only two people in the center.
Although they tried their best to pretend not to notice, everyone's face showed more or less pain.
Mosaic... Ugh... Mosaic...
No one was spared from this scene,
Apart from the crowd, there is Mushroom Head, who has hidden his merits and fame.
After an unknown amount of time, the situation was finally under control.
Ichiuji Yuji went to wash his hair alone, while Golden Koharu lay weakly on the ground.
He muttered in his sleep, "Just now... I seemed to see my destined prince SAMA..."
As Golden Xiaochun spoke, her cheeks flushed. "Prince SAMA lowered his head and gently poured the elixir that could heal everything into my mouth, saying, 'Wake up, my lovely Xiaochun, or I'll kiss you'..."
"Prince Sama...Prince..."
“…”
“…Is he dreaming?”
"Just bear with it, it's not just today."
When Ichiuji Yuji finished washing his hair and came back dripping wet, Golden Koharu finally recovered enough and was able to get up from the ground.
Shiraishi Kuranosuke had a headache and looked at his coach Watanabe Osamu.
"...Coach, shall we continue?"
Watanabe Shuma was standing under the human-shaped hole in the ceiling, looking into the distance. Upon hearing this, he slowly turned his head and spoke in a trance.
"If we continue, will there be another hole?"
“…”
“………”
Rikkai University launches emergency insurance,
Because the junior acted too human throughout the Kanto Tournament, the Rikkai community relaxed their vigilance against him.
After all... this kid is a powerful killer who can rub bombs with his hands and create mushroom clouds!
Yukimura Seiichi gathered his words, leaned down slightly, and whispered softly to the junior in front of him: "Kyu, if it's okay...why don't you just tone it down a bit...or something like that?"
He tried not to dampen the enthusiasm of his juniors and said tactfully, "After all, this is Shitenhoji Temple, not Rikkai University. If we keep demolishing it, it might be hard to explain."
Suddenly, the player was blocked by the NPC and was about to skip the conversation with a quick click.
There was a "click" sound of locking prompt, and a red light flashed, and the player had a bad premonition in his heart.
Looking down,
[Value locked]
【Weapon Locked】
Player: ...
Here he comes, here he comes!
He's here to chop the players again!
But players will never give in!
Thirty-six Stratagems: Running Away is the Best
Genichirō Sanada, Renji Yanagi, Bunta Marui, Jack Kuwabara, Masaharu Niou, and Hiroshi Yagyu slowly tightened the encirclement, trying to catch the cat.
Kirihara Akaya was shaking his head outside the crowd, and in an instant, he met Yagi Kei's eyes.
Kirihara Akaya: “!”
Player: “…”
Kirihara Akaya: “!!”
Player: “…”
Kirihara Akaya approached hesitantly and raised his hand cautiously: "Hey, everyone, why don't you be a little more tolerant of Kei..."
Yukimura turned around with a smile and said gently: "Akaye, go play somewhere else first."
Kirihara Akaya turned around quickly: "Okay."
Kirihara Akaya left with wide noodles tears,
"Wuwu, Kei! Just bear with it for now! Don't worry—I'll definitely find a way to save you!!"
Everyone in Rikkai dispersed, leaving only one player who was almost chopped into pieces.
There is also Keigo Atobe, who wants to leave very much with his racket in hand, but is bound to the spot by a sense of responsibility due to the temporary doubles partnership.
Atobe Keigo: “…”
Player: “…”
Atobe Keigo said with difficulty: "It doesn't matter, it's just a ceiling, go ahead and hit it, I'll take responsibility!"
Watanabe Osamu reappeared in an instant and reverently took his hands, shaking them up and down. "Thank you, thank you so much, Atobe-san! It's such a blessing to have you!"
Atobe Keigo: “…”
Yuushi Oshizuka returned to the court and took on the role of referee again under the sunlight pouring in through the human-shaped hole in the ceiling above his head.
He blew the whistle, "Beep!"
A net separated the two sides, and the Yagi Kei and Atobe Keigo duo and the Ichiuji and Golden Koharu duo stood on both sides again.
But this time, the situation has changed.
Because - Golden Koharu has been gazing lovingly at Yagi Kei on the other side of the net.
"Prince SAMA... Oh~ The figure that appeared before me... This is simply LOVE~!"
Suddenly, I doubted my ears: "?"
Golden Koharu boldly expressed his love, and Ichiuji bit his handkerchief with resentment and anger.
But these have no effect on Mushroom Head, whose eyes look empty and dead.
"——Don't take my Xiaochun away!"
Yuji Ichiuji performed the role of a warrior charging for love on the spot, picked up the racket and took out the tennis ball, bent his knees, jumped, and swung the racket——
"knock!!!"
The yellow tennis ball went straight towards the black-haired figure.
He was motionless, seemingly unresponsive, and saw the tennis ball about to hit him.
At the critical moment, he intercepted with his palm and turned around to strike back——!
A set of smooth and clear sentences,
"ha……"
The racket blocked the ball and hit it back cleanly. Atobe Keigo tilted his head.
"Really? Why are you daydreaming at a time like this, kid?"
He raised his head arrogantly, like a king resurrected with full blood, slowly raised his hand, and snapped his fingers clearly and loudly.
"——Don't forget my existence."
Yukimura Seiichi and Shiraishi Kuranosuke on the sidelines raised their eyebrows simultaneously.
Although he has always been nicknamed a "vase" in the past, as the captain of Hyotei, Atobe Keigo's strength is unquestionable.
"Xiaochun——"
Ichiji Yuji turned around and shouted, startling the golden-haired Koharu who was currently infatuated with Yagi Kei.
"Ah! Yuji-kun!"
He was in a dilemma, "Wait, that's Prince SAMA over there, but Yuji-kun over here is also very good..."
"But Prince Sama..."
"But Yuji-kun..."
Golden Xiaochun swayed left and right, swayed left and right, and the difficult decision became even more hesitant.
Shiraishi Kuranosuke slowly pressed down his throbbing eyebrows: "It's started again, this guy..."
In just a few moments, Atobe Keigo had already reached his full strength, suppressing Ichiuji Yuji and continuously hitting his weak points.
He placed his slender fingertips on his brow bone, raised his eyes slightly, and stared at the two people on the other side of the net with his sharp hawk-like eyes.
Suddenly, the whole body's aura turned cold.
The player who silently stared at the string of red debuffs on the status bar, took a heavy blow and looked up at the idle version.
Wow——!
Our teammate NPC——actively used his ultimate move!
[Teammate Atobe Keigo used support on you! ]
[Special Skill: Ice World was used successfully!]
The gorgeous ice crystals sparkle, and the cross-sections reflect brilliantly, with each side reflecting the face and figure on the opposite side!
"Haha, after my observation, I've discovered that your weaknesses can no longer be hidden!"
Just as he was about to step forward to fight back, Ichiji Yuji suddenly stopped in his tracks. He realized something and slowly lowered his head.
I can’t move!
These legs... can't move at all!
"——I have seen your blind spots clearly!"
The corners of Keigo Atobe's lips curled up, his pupils slightly condensed and expanded, his delicate face was full of excitement——
"Accept your failure!"
"--No!!!"
Following Atobe Keigo's gorgeous moves, in an instant, Golden Koharu let out a heart-wrenching cry.
“It’s too difficult! This question! I can’t do it!!”
"Whether it's Prince Sama or Yuji-kun, it's really hard to choose—"
The golden spring is full of affection and vigor.
"Rather than losing Prince Sama or Yuji-kun—I'd rather lose myself!"
He opened his arms, stepped forward bravely, and threw himself into the fire.
“——Let the storm get even more violent!!”
He shouted, grabbed the racket and rushed towards the return shot from Atobe Keigo.
Without a doubt,
Got knocked away.
Ichiuji stumbled to his knees, and stretched out his hand to the distant golden Xiaochun.
"No - Koharu -!!"
Atobe Keigo, who had just wanted to show off after delivering a cool attack: "..."
The rising emotions cooled down in an instant.
Atobe Keigo: ...
No, you guys in Shitenboji are sick, right?
ah? ! !
