In the anime, who is not a childhood sweetheart?

"In the form of a massage, right..."

"Well! Don't underestimate massage. Qianye actually enjoys it! Especially right after sword practice. In his own words, tense muscles relax with the massage. It's like being in the clouds, light and comfortable! And, let me tell you..."

Rikka suddenly lowered her voice and leaned close to Eriri's ear, sounding mysterious.

"Qian Ye usually pretends to mutter to himself, whether he has something to do or not, saying things like his arms are sore, his waist is swollen, etc. He is embarrassed to ask me to do it directly, so he uses this method to let me go over and give him a massage.

He always thought he was acting perfectly, but he didn't know that I had seen through it all a long time ago! I'm not the fool my sister said I was!

But I didn't intend to expose him. After all, he's usually very nice to me, and I really don't mind helping him with some small things within my ability. It's also quite fun to watch him pretend from time to time."

"What are you talking about? You're laughing so happily."

Yuan Qianye came out after drying his hair.

"Nothing, nothing! I was just telling Eriri that we can both give you a massage today."

what? !

Is it really possible to touch Qianye's body?

Rikka didn't notice that Eriri's brain was trembling at this moment!

She patted the bed impatiently, signaling Yuan Qianye to come over quickly. "We've all been so supportive of you today, you must do your best tomorrow! But don't put so much pressure on yourself. Results aren't that important. Just enjoy the competition wholeheartedly!"

Yuan Qianye took off his slippers, climbed onto the bed, and lay down between the two of them: "Didn't you say that before we left? You said you would make me win the championship or something, so that you can show off in front of your friends next semester... Hmm..."

Liuhua's little hands have already started pressing, the pressure is light, but it is quite comfortable.

"Don't talk anymore. Just relax. I'll only give you a half-hour massage today. After all, you need to rest early."

"Uh-huh……"

After Eriri timidly stretched out her hands and began to exert force at Rikka's signal, Yuan Qianye closed his eyes comfortably and didn't want to talk anymore.

Not to mention, when two people with four hands massaging at the same time, the level of happiness does increase a lot.

Today, one of them was wearing knee-high socks, and the other was wearing stockings. They had been walking outside all day and hadn't showered before coming here. Now they had taken off their shoes, and the ducks were sitting on either side of them. I could smell a slight odor...

But what was strange was that Yuan Qianye didn't seem as resistant as usual, perhaps because they were indeed acquaintances.

Listening to their soft conversation and enjoying the massage service of their warm little hands, he fell asleep unknowingly while lying there.

Afterwards, Eriri and Rikka covered him with a blanket and left on tiptoe.

He slept soundly the whole night.

----

Eight o'clock the next day.

In the hotel lobby, the Sichuan Blue Kendo Club finished roll call and gathered, and came to the competition venue in a mighty procession.

"Chiye, Saeko, let's go to the audience seats then."

"Come on you guys!"

"Don't feel so stressed; the important thing is to participate!"

"Stop saying such depressing things."

Gen Chiye and Busujima Saeko smiled as they separated from the others and entered the competition venue.

The national finals is much more formal and grand than the previous regional competitions.

Yuan Qianye took a quick glance at the scene and saw the camera crews of the country's leading TV stations such as NHK, TBS, and FJTV waiting on the sidelines to debug their equipment.

It seems that today's game will be broadcast live on some sports channels.

Many staff members wearing headsets were running around, coordinating the entry and waiting of the contestants, and informing them of the subsequent competition procedures.

The team leader is responsible for this aspect. Contestants such as Gen Chiye and Busujima Saeko only need to focus on the competition later and don't have to worry about other things.

After sitting down in the waiting area, Gen Qianye looked at Busujima Saeko and asked, "Senior, your father hasn't arrived yet?"

Busujima Saeko shook her head, not seeming to care. "My father's flight was delayed, so he'll probably be late. But don't worry, I won't let it affect my competition."

Yuan Qianye was not worried about this, he just asked this question out of concern.

The live broadcast has been reporting on various matters related to today's game.

The air conditioning in the stadium was running at full blast, but there were so many people that the effect seemed minimal.

At around nine o'clock, after a series of complicated opening ceremonies, it was finally time for the competition to officially begin.

There are a total of sixteen teams from all over the country that have reached the finals.

In other words, in order to achieve the ultimate victory and become the strongest in the country in this competition, one must win four times in a row.

The instructor who came back from the draw gave the three players who were about to play a game a general idea of their opponents' situation.

He didn't sleep the whole night yesterday, ignoring his wife who was wearing sexy lingerie and whispering sweet hints to him, and was concentrating on studying the past battle videos of all the contestants participating in the finals!

Transformed into a Sigma Man for a short while! Just for this moment!

He didn't have good luck in the finals.

Unlike the previous regional competition, Busujima Saeko and Minamoto Chiya saw that the atmosphere was too tense, so they made a joke.

His luck is really bad this time!

Right from the start, you have to face a tough nut to crack!

"... Takayama Junior High School's Kendo Club! They're a frequent participant in the national finals, and their best result ever... is the national championship."

After hearing what the teacher said, senior Niushan from the regular team started sweating profusely and his heart started beating faster!

But Gen Chiye and Busujima Saeko had calm expressions and their hearts were as still as water, without much fluctuation.

it is good!

With the demeanor of a great general who remains calm even when faced with a mountain of collapse, you have already won in terms of your state of mind!

The teacher couldn't help but praise secretly and continued,

"The other team is two third-year students and a second-year student. The key lies in those two third-year students. Their last name is Iwaha, and they are twin brothers. Their family is similar to yours, Dokujima, and they also run a kendo gym.

They are both tall and strong, with good basic skills. Their performance in the regional competition is the same as yours, both of them are undefeated. It is not an exaggeration to call them geniuses.

They are good at turning their own advantages into competitive advantages. Facing them, Dudao, as a woman, you are at a physical disadvantage. Therefore, try to avoid passive defense and try not to fight head-on. Use your skills to find more opportunities to break through. Qianye, you should do the same..."

The teacher gave them tactical instructions, and Gen Chiye and Busujima Saeko listened attentively.

After the teacher finished speaking, Ushiyama Yusuke slowly raised his hand and asked his own question: "Teacher, what positions did this pair of brothers play in previous competitions?"

"It's not fixed. They seem to be intentionally trying to develop the younger generation, so if they meet a weak team, they'll occasionally let the younger generation play as forwards."

"In that case, why not put me first or second in the first race?"

His idea is very simple, the principle of Tian Ji's horse racing.

If he could directly face one of the two difficult opponents and replace the opponent's superior horse with an inferior horse, then their school's chances of winning would be greatly improved.

The tactical teacher had also thought of this, but did not mention it due to various concerns.

But now that Niu Shan has said it, he doesn't mind hearing what the other two ace players think.

Busujima Saeko didn't say anything, but turned her head to look at Yuan Qianye.

When she saw him shaking his head without hesitation, she smiled as expected.

"No need to go to all that trouble. It's the same as always. Yuan-Jun and I will go out one after the other. As for Senior Niu Shan, you will be responsible for covering for us. If one of us is defeated, then we will rely on you to turn the tide."

Although Busujima Saeko refused, the way she said it was so convincing! Even the proposer, Ushiyama himself, had no objections!

Because of her words, I even felt that I was entrusted with an important task, and felt very honored and trusted!

This is the art of language!

"I understand, Minister!"

He pounded his chest hard!

The others came over, put their hands together and shouted "Come on Sichuan Blue!"

Game start.

Busujima Saeko was the first to come on stage. As a girl, she naturally looked petite in front of boys.

Half-crouching in front of the starting line, she saw through her visor the murderous gaze of her opponent with no contempt.

Well, that's the best...

The familiar feeling is back.

Last year, her kendo club also made it to the national competition. She successfully defeated her opponent, but her teammates unfortunately lost. In the end, they only came to the finals for a formality, which she felt a little regretful about.

But now, it's completely different...

"Whoosh!"

"Throat! Throat!"

As Busujima Saeko let out a heroic cry, her opponent was hit on the throat by her sword and retreated several steps!

The three referees raised the red flags in their hands at the same time!

Busujima Saeko gets a copy first!

There was silence for a moment, and then there was warm applause and cheers!

At the same time, Eriri finally knew what the long object wrapped in cloth that Rikka was carrying was!

The moment Busujima Saeko scored the first point, she stood up, pulled open the cloth strip, and then raised her hands high and started waving!

On a large white flag, the names of Busujima Saeko and Minamoto Chiya were written in childish and round handwriting, with a big thumbs-up symbol in the middle and the English word "Fighting" below it!

"Come on Qianye! Come on, senior sister! Come on, Chuanlan!!!"

Rikka was quite pleased with herself, waving flags and cheering loudly with great excitement!

This silly little sister, after spending so much time with Qianye, has her eye bags become more and more obvious? Or does this girl just have the hidden gene of being a bit of a jerk?

Tohka couldn't bear to look at it. She noticed the curious glances of the people around her, but she was too embarrassed to stop them. She even had the idea of pretending that she didn't know Rikka.

Many photographers on the sidelines noticed the situation in the audience and focused their cameras on Rikka, giving her a close-up!

Rikka noticed this and happily reached out to pull Eriri, wanting to take her to become famous on TV.

But Eriri, like Touka, buried her head in the blushing water and couldn't pull it up!

Busujima Saeko on the field had no time to pay attention to the situation outside the field. She had already started the second game of the first set.

The opponent had just suffered a defeat and was very wary of her instantaneous explosive power and was on guard.

He always stood in front of him with a sword, acting like a turtle, and was able to block several attacks from Busujima Saeko.

Despite having the physical advantage, he played so timidly that there was a lot of booing from the sidelines.

Although he is as strong as an adult, he is just a junior high school student in his mentality.

Disturbed by the atmosphere on the sidelines, his defense soon revealed a flaw, and he was hit in the abdomen by Busujima Saeko's clean and clean horizontal blow!

The referee raised the red flag again!

In the first game, Busujima Saeko won easily.

"Thank you for your hard work, Senior."

Yuan Qianye handed her a tissue after she took off her armor.

"The opponent's level is not low. Yuanjun, you should also do your best and enjoy the game."

"Yes."

Yuan Qianye, wearing protective gear, walked onto the stage, saluted the referee and his opponent, and half-crouched in front of the starting line.

The moment the referee gave the order, he rushed out immediately, the bamboo sword in his hand was as fast as lightning, chopping down on the head, and moving forward!

Seeing how fiercely he attacked right from the start, the opponent was completely overwhelmed by his momentum! He leaned back in panic and moved sideways to neutralize his attack!
