Chapter 134 Chapter 134 National Competition Second Round (Part 1)...
When Mr. Ango mentioned this, Saionji Tamon was stunned. She remembered that the little girl Sakura was indeed very concerned about her in the hospital that day. Later, if she had not been in a hurry to fulfill her agreement with Atobe, she would not have left in a hurry without leaving any news.
"I was negligent," Yuyin said after a moment's thought. "Mr. Ango, do you have Mr. Oda's contact information? If it's convenient, please let me know. I'll contact him later so that Mr. Oda and Sakura don't worry anymore."
The Armed Detective Agency is the focus of attention of all forces in Yokohama. There are super sharp detectives like Edogawa Ranpo and former Port Mafia like Dazai Osamu. Tamane doesn't want to attract their attention, so she plans to contact Oda Sakunosuke by phone to inform him and Sakura that she is fine and asks Mr. Oda to keep it a secret for her.
After Sakaguchi Ango agreed, he told Yuon Oda Sakunosuke's personal contact information. Finally, they agreed again that if anything happened, especially anything related to the psychic killer, he must be contacted in time, and then he hung up the phone.
Yuyin threw the hung-up phone onto the bed and sighed heavily: "Why do things keep coming one after another, with no end in sight..."
But think about it, when she was in only one world before, her workload was already very heavy. Now that the four worlds have merged together, her workload has been quadrupled. It is not surprising that it is like this now.
On the bright side, thanks to her insistence, although the vest was removed, it was not a complete job. It was equivalent to just having four more part-time jobs. Although there was no hope of being a salted fish, at least she didn't have to work 24 hours a day, seven days a week like 007.
Then she thought divergently that there would be the second round of Ice Emperor's competition tomorrow, and she would definitely have to be there. She didn't know whether the mutant killer would look for her. Although she was confident in her own ability, she still had to make more preparations to face the enemy just in case.
Thinking of this, Yuyin patted her cheeks and sat up, "Okay! First, make hundreds of different talismans overnight and store them for future use!"

"The vine of Mu, the vine of Mu!" "Ice Emperor! Ice Emperor!"
On the field, the young athletes are sweating profusely, and off the field, the cheering teams on both sides are not to be outdone. If you cheer loudly, I will cheer even louder than you.
In particular, Hyotei's opponent in this round, Makinofuji, is a veteran powerhouse in the national competition and has won the Kansai Conference and the national competition many times.
Even though they came from afar for this competition, Makino Teng still brought a large cheering team. Although the scale was not as large as Hyotei's 200 people, it was already a lot compared to other teams.
However, reality has proved that the outcome of a match will not be affected by human will, even if the cheers are loud. At the beginning of the match, Hyotei won two games in a row, winning both singles three and doubles two.
Yuyin sat in the Hyotei main draw area, just like yesterday. No one from the main draw to the fan club raised any objections, as if her presence was a matter of course.
But what was different from yesterday was that today, while she was watching the game, she would occasionally pay attention to her surroundings to see if there was anyone acting suspiciously or trying to do something wrong.
However, the surrounding audience seats were filled with enthusiastic young people, all of whom were cheerleaders brought by the two teams to cheer. It was obvious whether there were outsiders or not, which made it easy for her to distinguish them.
Yuyin paid attention for a while but found nothing. She couldn't help but laugh at herself for being too nervous. Mr. Ango had just called her yesterday. Even if the other party intended to continue committing crimes, he might not act so quickly. There were many people with special abilities in the island country, so he might not necessarily come after her.
Yuyin thought her gaze was very calm and discreet, but just as she looked away, she heard Atobe Keigo ask, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong today?"
Before Yuyin could answer, Atobe's tone suddenly became a little nervous. He looked around and asked nervously, "Is there something like that nearby?"
Yuyin was a little slow to react to what Atobe said, and couldn't help but say with a smile, "Of course not." But afraid that Atobe wouldn't believe her, she further explained, "As soon as I arrived here today, before the game started, I deliberately looked around and ruled out the possibility of problems around the venue."
This was also the fundamental skill she acquired as a personal bodyguard, performing escort duties. She would eliminate all possible dangers before arriving at any location. With her years of experience, she certainly wouldn't allow any malicious monsters or cursed spirits to cause trouble.
Only then did Keigo Atobe suddenly remember that the reason why Tamane was here and stayed with him until now was not because she was the manager of the tennis club, but because his family hired Tamane as his personal bodyguard.
If it weren't for this commission, given his and Yuyin's previous relationship as ordinary classmates, the two would not have had the chance to meet in person during the more than one month from the end of the forest school to the start of the new semester.
In the past, Keigo Atobe would have disliked his mother for being a little overprotective of him, but now he couldn't help but be grateful for his mother's excessive protectiveness. If it weren't for his mother and the others thinking of giving him the commission, he wouldn't be so close to Tamane now.
Atobe Keigo couldn't help but think deeply. The commission was certainly not without a time limit. His family originally planned to let him study abroad at Eton in high school, so the commission was only signed for about half a year. If it needed to be renewed, Atobe himself certainly hoped so, but it also depended on Yuyin's willingness.
Atobe was not sure how the four institutions or forces that originally accepted the commission all assigned the task to Yuyin by mistake, but he was not completely sure whether it would remain the same in the future.
"6:0, Hyotei Oshikazu wins."
The sound of the referee's decision and the cheers of the surrounding Hyotei supporters brought Keigo Atobe back to his senses.
He clapped his hands for the rare occasion, smiled at the Oshima who was leaving, and praised him, "Well done."
"No, no," Oshitari Yuushi pushed up his glasses. Although his tone was modest, the curve of his mouth revealed his true feelings. "It's just that Makinofuji's level has dropped so much this year. It's rare that I thought the opponent was the second-place singles player of the Kansai Tournament runner-up, so I took it a little seriously."
Yuyin felt that it was a good thing that only the few people in front of her could hear what Oshitsuki said. If the people on the opposite side of Makinoto heard it, she suspected that Oshitsuki would be put in a sack and beaten just a few steps away from the venue.
"If we win three games, we win, right?" Seeing that everyone was still sitting in their seats and that Atobe and Oshitari had no intention of canceling lunch, Yuyin asked, "Are we going to continue the game this afternoon?"
"Ah, yes, it's the new rule of this national competition. Every team must play five full games in the first three rounds, even if they have already qualified." Atobe Keigo explained to her.
"I see," Yuyin glanced at Atobe and couldn't help but laugh, "This rule is very friendly to Keigo and me."
Atobe Keigo was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
"I think I understand what the manager means," Oshitari Yuushi said, stroking his chin. "We always advance by winning the first three games in a row. If it weren't for this new rule, Atobe, a perennial singles star, wouldn't even have a chance to play. Wouldn't Saionji's visit to the game be in vain?"
In fact, according to the information that Yuushi Ozuchi heard, the organizing committee of the competition specially set this competition rule so that all the players of the weaker teams eliminated in the first three rounds can experience the competition process of the national competition, instead of rushing thousands of miles and returning home without even making a single appearance.
Moreover, as for the national competition itself, it is a national competition that is held to select outstanding young athletes from across the country as reserve talents for the future Olympics and other international competitions.
In this regard, the results of team competitions are a secondary goal. Allowing as many players as possible to compete will also make it easier for professional coaches to evaluate the players' preparation.
"What you said, Inuzuka, makes a lot of sense."
Tamane thought back, wasn't that the case with the regional tournaments and the metropolitan tournaments? In the first two rounds, when the five-game match was complete, Atobe himself didn't play. And in the subsequent matches, unless Hyotei got stuck in a tough fight and dragged it out until the final singles match, Atobe had no chance to appear on the court.
"It's a good thing there's this new rule, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see your heroic performance in the competition, Jingwu."
Atobe Keigo was secretly pleased for a moment by Yuyin's unintentional statement, but he didn't show it on his face. He clenched his fist over his lips and coughed twice before turning to Yuyin and saying, "It's still early for lunch, Yuyin, why don't you come with me to check out other venues?"
The game on Hyotei's side ended quickly, and there was still some time before lunch. Most of the other teams were still playing at this time. Atobe recalled the game schedule and found that there were several teams that he was very interested in, so he invited Tamane.
"Okay," Yuyin agreed without thinking too much, "It's a good time to go see Shitenhoji Temple and how the Seigaku match is going." By the way, she asked the team members sent to "spy" on the enemy situation whether they had finished filming the video.
"Hey, Captain, are you guys going to watch other schools' games? I want to go too, I want to go~!" Xiangri Yueren, who was standing next to him, heard this and quickly jumped out and raised his hand to signal.
Oshitari Yuushi quickly covered his mouth and dragged him away, laughing dryly: "Haha, Yueren, didn't you say before that you wanted to buy that feather ornament displayed in the window of that boutique we passed on the way? We still have time now, so I'll go with you..."
Yuyin watched them playfully leaving and couldn't help but sigh, "Oshitari and Taketo had such a good relationship. What a pity..."
Atobe Keigo understood her unspoken intention, but unfortunately, for the overall performance of Hyotei, such a tacit doubles combination had to be broken up.
"Actually, when I first joined the tennis club in junior high school, I was a singles player." Atobe suddenly said.
"Huh? So..." Yuyin widened her eyes slightly.
Atobe Keigo nodded and said, "That's right. In the past, because Hyotei's doubles team was insufficient, they were trained to form a doubles team for cooperation."
Hyotei now has the stronger combination of Shishido and Feng in doubles. This gives him and the coach more options in changing the formation, so Obuta's positioning has changed again.
Recalling Oshina's glorious transfer experience in the past, Atobe stroked his chin and thought, only someone like Oshina who can adapt to changes in the surrounding environment so quickly would be able to change his position in a short period of time without worrying about him being able to adapt.
