My Anime Girlfriends

Hearing him say that, I immediately laughed and said, "You guys also made it into the top eight! I watched your matches too. Grandpa Zhenyuanzhai hardly played at all. The matches were almost all won by you and Xiaoya. That proves that you guys are very strong!"

When I said that, Shii Kensou scratched the back of his head and grinned foolishly, saying, "I'm a little embarrassed to be told that by Brother Dong! Aha...haha!"

Seeing Kensou grinning foolishly, I immediately bowed to Chin Gentsai behind him and said with a smile, "Grandpa Chin Gentsai, we meet again! And Xiaoya, your clothes suit you very well today!"

Zhen Yuanzhai immediately said, "Hehe...yes! We meet again, Xiao Tian. Come and have a drink!" He poured another glass of wine and handed it to me.

This time, not only me, but everyone except Chin Gentsai had a large bead of sweat on their foreheads, and they all thought to themselves: 'Do we have to do this every time?'

After an awkward cough, I said with a smile, "Grandpa Zhenyuanzhai, let's skip this one. Let's drink after the competition!"

"Haha... Alright then!" Zhen Yuanzhai said after downing the wine in his hand.

Then a few girls started chatting, leaving the three of us aside. I had no choice but to find a quiet place with Chin Gentsai to talk about the competition and some martial arts insights. As a Chinese martial arts master, Chin Gentsai's understanding of martial arts and various fighting techniques was insightful and to the point. Since I was also a martial arts master in my past life, Chin Gentsai and I had a very lively conversation, while poor Kensou couldn't get a word in edgewise and was getting so anxious he was jumping up and down.

Before we knew it, it was already noon, so we decided to go out for lunch together. After ordering more than a dozen dishes, everyone started eating. Among them, Kensou ate the fastest, probably because of his grudge from this morning! I continued my conversation with Chin Gentsai, and the women didn't stop their conversation either.

After dinner, for some reason, Xiao Wu, Jing, and Yuri suddenly said they had something to do and left. After Athena said a few words to Chin Gentsai, Chin Gentsai also pulled Shii Kensou away, leaving me alone with Athena. For some reason, I felt the atmosphere suddenly became very awkward!

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but Xiaowu's attitude towards me has changed subtly lately. It seems like she, Jing, and Yuri have some kind of agreement. They often team up against me, and now they've left me alone with Hao Dianna. What does that mean?

While I was lost in thought, Athena spoke up, "Brother Tian, ​​can you come for a walk with me?"

Her words broke the awkward silence, and I immediately nodded and said, "Sure!"

Athena immediately grabbed my hand happily, and we walked hand in hand down the street. Athena was like a joyful sprite, occasionally letting out a charming laugh, completely delighted. We strolled around the streets for about two hours before she decided to head back. On the way back, she said happily, "It's been so long since I've gone shopping with Brother Tian. The last time was two years ago."

Hearing her say that, I thought for a moment and then smiled, "I didn't expect Xiaoya to remember! You were just a child back then..."

Before I could finish speaking, Athena immediately looked at me and said loudly, "I've grown up..." Then she hesitated for a moment, lowered her head and said, "Well... I remember every single day I spent with Brother Tian!"

When I heard her say that, I immediately laughed and said, "Actually... I remember it very clearly too!"

"really?"

"kindness!"

"Um... Brother Tian, ​​can you kiss me? I saw you kiss... Sister Wu, Yuri, and Sister Jing before!" Athena said, her face flushed.

Hearing her say that, I paused for a moment, looked at her, and asked in confusion, "Before...?"

Hearing my question, Athena blushed even more and lowered her head, saying, "In...New York, after Sister Xiaowu's match with the American team...!"

After Athena finished speaking, I remembered that she was also competing in the United States at the time, so I said, "You mean that time! I didn't expect you to see it!" As I spoke, I lowered my head and whispered in her ear, "Xiaoya, tell Brother Tian what Wu and Jing talked about today...!"

Athena blushed immediately at my rather ambiguous gesture, but she still answered my question, saying with her head down and a little stammering, "...Sister Wu...they didn't talk about anything...!"

“Really…?” I asked.

“Really…really…didn’t say anything!” Athena said immediately, looking nervous.

I laughed and whispered in her ear, "Oh, but I heard everything! My ears are very sharp!" Then I paused for a moment, "So you were lying back then?"

Hearing me say that, Athena immediately retorted, "No! Brother Tian, ​​what Xiaoya said is all true, I really like Brother Tian..." She didn't continue, because when she turned her head to defend me, she saw my smiling face with my head close to her neck. The clever girl immediately knew that I was trying to trick her into saying something.

I looked at her and continued, "Tell me, what exactly did they tell you!"

After understanding my purpose, she blushed and slowly said, "Sister Wu told me that as long as... as long as I truly like Brother Tian, ​​she won't object... and Sister Jing said that she's trying to make you fall in love with her, and Yuri said the same thing...!"

My expression froze immediately after she finished speaking; I hadn't expected them to make such a decision. I sighed softly, straightened up, slapped my forehead, and said helplessly, "Kyo is one thing, but I didn't expect Yuri to get involved too. No wonder lately…!" As I spoke, I glanced down at Athena, who was blushing, slowly lowered my hand, kissed her forehead, and smiled, saying, "We should go back, or they'll misunderstand!" With that, I took Athena's hand and walked towards the hotel.

Chapter 62 Draw Groups

When I escorted Athena back to her room, she immediately tiptoed and gave me a farewell kiss before blushing and running into her room, while I smiled and returned to the suite belonging to the British team.

There was no one in the living room. I walked to Mai Shiranui's door and knocked. Yuri opened the door. Mai and Kyo were sitting there chatting and laughing. When Yuri saw me, she immediately smiled and said, "Brother Tian, ​​you're back!"

I smiled and nodded, saying, "I'm back!" I looked at Jing and Xiaowu, who were chatting, and asked, "Why are you smiling so happily?"

Jing looked at me and smiled, saying, "We were talking about the group draw tonight. Xiaowu, Youli, and I have decided that Youli is afraid to see her father and brother, and Xiaowu and I don't like these kinds of banquets, so we've decided to go to the night market tonight..."

"Then who will attend tonight's lottery party?" I asked, puzzled, after hearing their question.

As soon as I finished speaking, all three of them pointed at me, and I immediately asked in surprise, "Me...?"

Seeing my surprised expression, Jing immediately laughed and said, "That's right! It's you. We're planning to go out with Diana, and as for you, you can go to the banquet!"

Hearing her say that, I immediately laughed and said, "It's fine for me to go, but don't stay out too late, the official competition starts tomorrow."

Jing smiled slightly and said, "As long as you go, that's fine! So it's decided then. Yuri, go back to your room first. Xiaowu, get ready. I'll go discuss it with Athena right away." After saying that, she took Yuri's hand, who was holding mine, and walked out.

Watching Kyo and Yuri walk away, I smiled, walked over and sat down next to Xiaowu, and slowly said to her, "Xiaowu, I want to know... why would you, as my fiancée, allow another woman to fall in love with me?"

Xiao Wu looked at me with surprise when I asked that, but she quickly understood and looked at me with a pitiful expression, asking slowly, "Brother Tian, ​​are you angry?"

Seeing her expression, I immediately softened my tone and said slowly, "I'm not angry, I just want to understand why?"

As soon as I finished speaking, Mai Shiranui hugged me from behind and said, "Brother Tian, ​​do you know how happy and scared I was when I found out that Grandpa was going to marry me off to you? I was afraid you wouldn't agree, but you did. At that moment, I felt like the happiest person in the world. But now, I understand... there are other people who have fallen in love with Brother Tian besides me, namely Sister Jing and Yuri..."

I didn't let her continue. I turned around, hugged her, and said, "Wu... I love you." Then I leaned down...

Mai and I were both lost in the kiss, our hands exploring each other's bodies. Then there was a knock on the door, which made Mai and I stop what we were doing. My hand had already climbed up to her breasts from under her clothes, and her clothes were almost off. She looked at me with a flushed face, and I looked at her quietly. Then Yuri's voice came from outside the door, "Sister Mai, I'm coming in!"

Upon hearing Yuri's words, Mai Shiranui hurriedly said, "Yuri, wait a minute!" After saying that, she quickly straightened her clothes, her face glowing even more.

Seeing her hurried appearance, I stood up and went to open the door. Yuli was standing outside with a flushed face. When she saw me come out, she immediately lowered her head and said, "Brother Tian, ​​Sister Jing asked me to come back and tell Sister Xiaowu to change her clothes and meet in the lobby on the first floor!"

"Oh, you go tell Xiaowu! I'm going to change my clothes!" After saying that, I quickly walked back to my room.

Back in my room, I opened the wardrobe. Inside were nice clothes provided by the hotel, all kinds of styles, and the most expensive brands. I chose a British butler's uniform that I wore in my previous life, tied my long hair up with the red hair tie Xiao Wu had given me, and put on my charming smile again.

After I left the room, the three girls were stunned for a while when they saw my outfit. Jing said first, "How come we never noticed this side of you before? This outfit suits you very well!"

After Jing finished speaking, I immediately stood up straight, raised my right hand to my chest, gave a slight bow, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your compliment, Miss!" Then I returned to my previous posture and said to Jing, "However, I haven't worn this for a long time! Wearing it suddenly feels a little awkward!"

Just then, Yuri said from the side, "Brother Tian looks very handsome in this outfit, doesn't he? Sister Xiaowu!"

"Yes, it's really beautiful!" Mai Shiranui immediately exclaimed.

Seeing the three women looking at me as if I were a rare treasure, I quickly smiled and said, "Then I'll go down to the banquet. Remember to come back early!"

"Okay!" the three women replied immediately with a smile.

I walked out the door, entered the elevator, and pressed the button to go to the first floor. A minute later, I arrived at the venue on the first floor, where all sorts of people were gathered. I quietly walked into the crowd.

I was walking around in the crowd when a waitress dressed as a bunny girl held up a tray of red wine and said to me, "Sir, what would you like to order?"

I immediately flashed a charming smile and said, "If you may, please give me a glass of water."

The waiter immediately blushed and said, "Please wait a moment, sir..." and then turned and left.

Then, among the crowd, I saw the person I wanted to see: Colonel Heaton, dressed in a suit but exuding the air of a soldier. I walked over and greeted him with a smile, saying, "Colonel Heaton, it's been a while. How have you been? Is Leona alright?"

Heaton looked at me and said slowly, "Long time no see, my God! Leona...she's doing well!"

"Really? Then I'm relieved. I hope she gets used to life there. She's such a kind little girl!" I said with a smile.

Heaton said, "Don't worry, Leanna has been in the army for so long, she's already used to it."

Just then, the waitress dressed as a bunny girl came over with a glass of water and said with a smile, "Sir, here's your water!"

"Thank you!" I smiled and was about to take it, but a voice made me stop. It was Zhen Yuanzhai who said in his smoky voice, "Xiao Tian, ​​why are you drinking water? You have to drink a cup this time."

I said to Heaton, "Sorry, let's talk later!" Then I smiled and said to Chin Gentsai, "Grandpa Chin Gentsai, today is a rather formal occasion, so please don't embarrass me, okay? Besides, didn't I promise you that I'd have a proper match with you after the competition?"

Grandpa Zhenyuanzhai looked at me and said, "That's true, let's let it go this time. By the way, where are your fiancée and those two young girls?"

No sooner had he finished asking than Kensou, standing nearby, hurriedly said, "Master, have you forgotten? When we arrived just now, didn't Athena tell you that she was going to go to the night market with Miss Kyo and Miss Mai?"

Zhen Yuanzhai immediately looked enlightened and said, "Getting old! I just saw it, how could I forget?"

During my conversation with Chin Gentsai and Heaton, I discovered that almost all my acquaintances had arrived. Among them were Terry and his two companions from the Italian team, who were feasting at the food table, and the Sakazaki father and son from the Mexican team, who were also eating heartily. Nikaido Benimaru was chatting and laughing with several ladies, his arm around a waitress's waist. Daimon Goro was standing there with a stern face, dressed in a kimono. In short, there were people from all the teams who came to the banquet.

A waiter approached Heaton and asked, "Mr. Heaton, what would you like to drink?" At that moment, Heaton seemed to remember something important and immediately ran out. The waiter quickly stopped him, saying, "Mr. Heaton, the drawing of lots is about to begin. Each team needs at least one person present…!" Before she could finish, Heaton had already dashed out the door, saying as he ran, "Excuse me, could you please draw the lots for us?"

The waitress was stunned for a moment, then pointed to herself and said, "Oh, I'll take a draw...!"

I walked over to her and said, "It seems he has something important to take care of, so I'll leave the drawing of lots to you!"

When the waitress saw me, she immediately blushed and said, "It's alright, sir, it's what we should do." It turned out she was the same waitress who had brought me a glass of water.

The draw officially began. Since the matches were to be held on the same stage, they would be divided into four rounds, with each round divided into two groups, A and B. The Mexican team drew group B for the second round, followed by the Japanese team, who drew group B for the third round. The Soviet Union drew group A for the fourth round, and the Netherlands drew group B for the fourth round. Then it was my turn, and I drew group B for the first round. Kensou drew group A for the third round—was this a feud between China and Japan? The Italian team was the most exciting, as their opponents were either Britain or Mexico. When Terry handed the announcer his slip of paper for group B for the second round, all three Italians immediately looked at the Sakazaki father and son with eyes full of fighting spirit. Ryo Sakazaki immediately shouted, "The word 'defeat' is not found in our Kyokugenryu dictionary!" (It seems he lost to me once). As for the waitress who drew the lots for the British team, she was the last one, so she wasn't allowed to go on stage.

After the draw, everyone left the banquet and returned to their rooms. As for me, just as I was about to go back, a security guard ran up to me and said, "Mr. Dong, your teammates are all injured...!"

——————————————————Divider Line————————————————

I looked at the four injured girls and asked, "What happened? Didn't you go to the night market? How did you get hurt?"

Then Jing explained to me, “After we went out, we saw two members of the Pound Team climbing up to the top floor. Mai and Yuri thought they were thieves, so they were going to teach them a lesson. But when we got to the top floor, they were already seriously injured. Then we were beaten up by a man who claimed to be the behind-the-scenes host of this event. If someone hadn’t saved us, we don’t know what would have happened.”

“You will die. Those who are targeted by Rugal usually become his collectibles!” I said coldly after finishing speaking in Kyoto.

"Collectibles... what are those?!" Jing asked, looking at my somewhat cold expression.

"He killed me, and made me into a bronze statue as a memento," I said calmly.

After I finished speaking, the four women were stunned. I immediately said angrily, "What, are you scared out of your wits? If someone hadn't saved you, I don't think I would ever see you again."

After I finished speaking, Xiao Wu and You Li came up to me and quietly said, "Brother Tian... I'm sorry!"

Seeing their aggrieved expressions, I could only comfort them, saying, "Will you still like to meddle in other people's business like this in the future?"

"No...!"

"That's good. Let me treat you first. The official competition is tomorrow, and you can't compete with injuries." I said, patting their heads. Then I turned to Athena and said, "Athena, come here too. Although you have this ability, it will weaken your strength. In that case, you should compete at full strength."

Athena looked at me and nodded, saying, "Yes! Thank you, Brother Tian!"

After I treated them all, I went to the hospital where the Pound Team was staying and treated Ralph and Clark as well. Although they weren't completely cured, their injuries were about 70% healed. After doing all this, I slowly said to Heaton, who was sitting to the side, "Rugal's strength is not something you can handle. You don't want to lose your men again, do you?" After saying that, I turned and left.

Heaton watched me walk away, then glanced at Ralph and Clark and slowly said, "Thank you...!"

Chapter 63 Defeating Clark

"First to enter are the British representatives, the Women Fighters, who entered from the blue corner!"

"The team entering from the red corner is the Pound representative team."

Amidst the referee's introduction and the cheers of the audience, Xiao Wu, You Li, and I entered the arena. Because of my appearance, Jing didn't come; he simply sat smiling in the stands. Then, the Pound team slowly entered the arena amidst the cheers of the audience.

In a corner of the stands, in a special section prepared by the organizers for other participating teams, Kyo Kusanagi looked at the crowd on the field, who appeared perfectly normal, and exclaimed in surprise, "Their injuries have actually healed!"

Benimaru Nikaido, who was chatting with a waitress nearby, immediately turned around and said with a smile, "Kyo, you seem to know something! But I didn't expect him to be on the field today! It seems the chances of me fighting him have increased again."
