"Ye Shan, it's okay, mom still loves you!"
In the center of the north stand, Yukinoshita Yukino, Yukinoshita Haruno, and Joekai Giri were sitting side by side. Their huge aura made the others consciously give up their seats on both sides of them.
Yukinoshita Yukino sat upright, her face expressionless, looking at the court calmly. Joekai Pan looked a little sulky. She was the student union president and had always attached more importance to the honor of the school. As for Yukinoshita Haruno, although she was wearing a previous Sobu school uniform, she looked giggling and a little heartless.
"Yukino-chan, the one who scored the goal was Kowato!"
"The broadcast is very loud, there's no need for you to repeat yourself, sister."
Yukinoshita Yukino's tone was flat. She originally didn't want to watch the game, but was forcibly pulled out by Yukinoshita Haruno early in the morning.
"Xue-no-chan really still remembers Kazuto-chan! Can you share with me how you feel about meeting him after such a long time? Is your heart pounding with excitement?"
Yukinoshita Haruno leaned in front of Yukinoshita Yukino and blinked her left eye cutely.
"I have a good memory. Even if he is just a humble prokaryotic organism, I can remember him."
Yukinoshita Yukino turned her head away. Ever since she saw what Yushan Kazuto said about her, she has been holding a grudge against him.
"Xue-no remembered all the prokaryotes. It seems that Xiaohe is very important to Xue-no!"
No one noticed that not far from the three people, a girl with short flaxen hair had a twinkling look in her eyes.
[Isn't that Mr. Yushan? Why did he come to Tokyo to study? No wonder I didn't find him when I visited Sobu.]
[But, since Hayama-senpai’s grades are so good, even if he came to Tokyo to study, he would go to Shuchiin or Kaisei High School, right? Why would he come to Toyonotsaki…]
……
Losing the ball at the beginning of the game is a tradition of this Sobu team. The honors accumulated over the years have made Sobu a little arrogant, and the beginning is always slow. However, within less than a minute, a one-on-one goal was scored, which was the first time.
The Sobu players looked unhappy, and they gnashed their teeth, as if they wanted to bite a piece of meat off of Yushan Kazuto. However, Yushan Kazuto looked normal, as he was already used to scoring goals, and even skipped the celebration and trotted back to his position.
"Restart! Hayama Hayato has the ball. Hayama Hayato is also a rising star, and he is being trained as a trump card in Sobu. He is not fast, but his pace is steady and he controls the ball very well."
"Toyonozaki No. 20 approaches, and Hayato Hayama passes the ball decisively! The ball is passed to Tobe Sho! Toyonozaki No. 17 steals the ball, and Tobe Sho controls the ball. He does a good job and his footwork is very skillful!"
"The Sobu team seems to have learned their lesson. They are defending harder. Three of their players are marking Kazuto Yuyama. Yuyama is surrounded by a triangle defense! This is the best treatment! It seems that in the next period of time, Kazuto Yuyama may have a hard time!"
"The game was a bit tense. The ball was transferred several times, but it was still deadlocked near the midfield! Sobu Ginbe made an accurate through pass, and the ball returned to Tobe Sho's feet! Tobe Sho's stop was a little too big, and Toyosaki No. 17 and No. 20 are approaching quickly!"
"Double-team from front and back! Tobe Sho, dunk, very good, dribbled past Toyonosaki No. 17 and passed the ball to Sobu Howler. Sobu Howler is the fastest player on the Sobu team. His advances on both wings always put huge pressure on the opponent's defense. It seems that Sobu is going to attack from the wing this time!"
"The Sobu Howler breaks through quickly. On the right side, no Toyonosaki player can contend with it! Toyonosaki is in danger now!"
"Cross the ball! Near the sideline, the Sobu Howler did not choose to continue to risk breaking through, but directly crossed the ball! There is some chaos in the penalty area now, with more than a dozen players crowded together. Let's see who can get the ball."
"Sobu Ginbe! At the crucial moment, the two-meter-tall Sobu Ginbe played a role! He headed the ball directly into the goal! Unfortunately, it was hit by Toyonosaki goalkeeper! Missed the opportunity!"
"Although the ball went out of the penalty area, it was still caught by Soubu. Soubu's passing was very simple and it seemed difficult for Toyosaki to steal the ball from them now."
"Tobe Sho! No hesitation, Hayama Hayato! Sobu Baboon! Sobu Howler! Sobu Howler breaks through again! Toyosaki No. 14 steals the ball in front, it's a foul! The referee shows the yellow card without hesitation! Penalty!"
"The penalty kick was taken by Hayato Hayama. He took a run-up! He scored in one go! The goalkeeper Toyonosaki misjudged the direction! The two sides are tied at 1:1!"
……
"Forty minutes have passed in the first half. Apart from the lightning goal at the beginning, Toyonosaki has been in a suppressed state. The super ace Yuyama Kazuto has also been restricted. It seems that the tactics carefully arranged by Sobu have worked."
"Tobe Sho's high ball found the Sobu Howler! Sobu's offensive tactics are very clear. Relying on the Sobu Howler's powerful impact force that can move left or right, it constantly pulls at Toyonosaki's defense line!"
"Oh, no! Yushan Kazuto appeared at the position of the Sobu Howler and intercepted the ball directly! Yushan Kazuto is not
In the three-man defense circle?"
"The Sobu Howler wanted to steal the ball, but failed. It's so difficult to steal the ball from the Super Ace! Hayama Hayato is approaching, and Hayama Kazuto has his back to the goal. He didn't defend and actually dribbled past the goalkeeper! The ball was hooked up by Hayama Kazuto, who dribbled past the goalkeeper with his back to the goal! It's an imaginative move! It's out of this world!"
"Hayama Kazuto didn't stick to the ball. He kicked the ball out and found Toyonosaki No. 11. Toyonosaki No. 11 is also a fast horse. His speed is not inferior to the Sobu Howler. He quickly rushed forward on the left!"
"Cross the ball! I feel like it's a bit too powerful. There's no one to receive it. This opportunity is wasted... Oh my god! God has descended from heaven! Yushan Kazuto appears in the receiving position. He's so elusive! The player marking him is left behind by him again!"
"Volley! Oh, impossible, that move just now was actually a pass! Sobu Gibbon was completely fooled, he has already made a save!"
"Shoot! Toyonosaki No. 17 tiptoes and shoots the ball into the goal! Sobu Gibbon is helpless, he has already fallen to the ground and there is no way he can save the ball!"
"In the 17nd minute of the first half, Hayama Kazuto made a wonderful assist to Toyonosaki No. 2, changing the score to 1:! This is a great assist! Toyonosaki is leading again!"
Chapter 30 Stalemate
Toyozhisaki teaching building, rooftop.
Two blonde girls were wearing hats and lying on the railing of the rooftop, curled up in a ball, looking a little sneaky.
"Damn it, Great Demon King Yushan is always showing off his death! Those stupid humans, don't be fooled by Great Demon King Yushan's disguise!" Toumori Sanae was holding a small telescope in her hand, and her little face was full of anger.
"It's so cold, Dongguamiao, why did you have to come to the rooftop to watch the game?"
A breeze blew by and Ying Lili shivered. She was wearing cool clothes, but now she had only one feeling: the wind on the rooftop was so strong!
"Hehehe, you don't understand this, right? Only by standing high up can you have a bird's-eye view of the whole situation!" Sanae Touma said proudly, wearing a windproof vest. Compared to Eriri, Sanae Touma was much more prepared.
"You look at people like ants, and you still want to get a general idea of the situation? If you want to watch the game, it's better to watch it in the stands."
Ying Lili was very dissatisfied. Her eyesight was not good to begin with, and even with glasses it was still worse than that of ordinary people. Now standing on the rooftop watching the game, it was like watching a long shot of a movie with completely degraded picture quality.
"I'm not watching the ball. I'm observing our enemy, Death! The Great Demon Lord Yushan is insidious and cunning. He has a strong ability to deceive people and has many lackeys! Only by standing here can I observe them properly."
Toumori Sanae tightly grasped the telescope and searched for the target: "Look in that direction, the center of the Arctic North! There are the two henchmen of the Great Demon Lord Yushan! The Treasure Demon Lord Yukinoshita Haruno, and her sister, the Ice Soul Witch Yukinoshita Yukino!"
Eriri opened her eyes wide, but could only see a dark mass on the north stand. The offense and defense changed on the field, and the fans were also coming and going, but for Eriri who couldn't see clearly, she just felt a little nauseous, as if she was carsick.
"Dongguamiao, you watch it for a while. I'll go take a rest aside!" Ying Lili shrank her body and walked to a windless corner.
"Useless Ying Pingping! Let the Thor's Hammer User take over your mission!"
……
Yushan Kazuto communicated with his teammates with his eyes for a few times, and then walked silently to his position. When passing by Hayama Hayato, Yushan Kazuto could see the fighting spirit burning in Hayama Hayato's eyes.
"Come on, Xiaoheren!"
A clear cheer came from the north stand, which was mixed with the boos from the north stand. Yushan Kazuto turned around and saw that it was Yukinoshita Haruno who shouted.
[What do you want to do? Do you want to provoke Hayato Hayama? ]
Yushan Kazuto looked at Yukinoshita Haruno with a half-smile on his expression, and Yukinoshita Haruno responded to him with a sweet smile.
Turning his head to look at Hayato Hayama, the fighting spirit in Hayato Hayama's eyes was even more surging and sharp. Under that raging fighting spirit, there seemed to be a bit of anger hidden.
……
"There were three minutes of extra time in the first half. Although the first half was almost over, the game was still very exciting! Several wonderful steals and counter-steals were exciting! This is what football should be like!"
"Toyonozaki No. 14 steals the ball! This steal is clean and beautiful, and it reminds me of Hikaru Matsuyama in Captain Tsubasa. The Sobu baboon tried to steal the ball but failed to get it. No. 14 passed the ball with his heel to Toyonozaki No. 5 who is good at long passes!"
"Toyonosaki No. 5 was very decisive after getting the ball, and passed the ball to the front court with a long pass! Toyonosaki No. 11 and the Sobu Howlers are chasing the ball. It's a race between two fast horses. Who can be one step faster and win the ball?"
"Toyonozaki No. 11 got the ball, and it seems that he is a little faster! But the Sobu Howler is not slow either, just one step late! Toyonozaki No. 11 wants to break through, but the Sobu Howler slides and the ball goes out of bounds! Sobu once again disrupts Toyonozaki's attack! Out of bounds!"
"Hmm? When the Sobu Howler slid, the ball bounced up and hit Toyonosaki No. 11, and then bounced out of bounds! Sobu was lucky this time and got the throw-in! Otherwise, a throw-in at this position would be a bit dangerous!"
"The Sobu Ginbe kicks off! The Sobu Ginbe's defense is very fierce, and their powerful out-of-bounds ball is also unique! I wonder if the Sobu can seize this opportunity and quickly counterattack to score a goal?"
"A powerful out-of-bounds ball directly crossed half of the court and found Hayato Hayama! Hayato Hayama dribbled the ball at a leisurely pace! He has a good mentality and it seems that the lagging score has not affected him at all!"
"Toyonozaki 14 approaches, but Hayato Hayama doesn't dodge at all! He does a great job of cycling! He dodges Toyonozaki 14! This time he has a chance to attack!"
"Tobe Sho receives the ball! He kicks it out and it returns to Hayato Hayama's feet! Toyosaki No. 14 runs back and forth, but the effect is not significant!"
"Sobu's tactics seem to have been adjusted. The passing has become more concise! Each player holds the ball for no more than ten seconds. Even the Sobu Howlers responsible for advancing the ball don't stick to the ball. They pass the ball and attack cleanly! This reminds me of tiki-taka!"
"Toyonosaki seems to be unable to cope with Sobu's change in style! The continuous running consumed his energy in vain, but the ball was still at Sobu's feet! Sobu's new tactics are very successful!"
"18 passes! Toyonosaki hasn't even touched the ball yet! The ball has already been passed into the penalty area by Sobu! Toyonosaki goalkeeper makes a decisive move!"
"Butterflies! Huge, huge, super, super low-level mistake! Toyonosaki goalkeeper's hand slipped when he was holding the ball! Sobu baboon immediately followed and shot decisively! Toyonosaki goalkeeper gave the opponent a goal!"
“This mistake! I don’t know what words to use to describe it.
All in all, Sobu scored a wonderful goal. In the last minute of the first half, Sobu gave Toyosaki a fierce counterattack and tied the score to 2:2! "
"Although the direct cause of this goal was the goalkeeper's mistake, Toyonosaki's failure to respond to the Sobu tactics was the real culprit!"
With a "whoosh" sound, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half. Yushan Kazuto walked to the goalkeeper, patted him on the shoulder, and after a brief comfort, he helped him walk to the locker room.
In front of the lounge passage, two girls blocked the passage tightly, one on the left and one on the right. Yushan and Renren knew the two girls, one was Kasumigaoka Utaha and the other was Sora Ginko.
"You guys go in first." Yushanhe greeted the team members.
Kasumigaoka Utaha and Sora Ginko made way for others to pass through. When all the team members entered the lounge, Yushan and Ren cast their eyes on Sora Ginko: "Why are you here?"
Kong Yinzi didn't hold an umbrella. The afternoon sun made her feel dizzy, but she still took out her folding fan and patted Yushan Heren on the body: "Why didn't you tell me about this game?"
Chapter 31 Intermission
"This match was added at short notice, so I didn't tell you about it." Yushan Heren said awkwardly. He was indeed wrong in this matter. In addition, Kong Yinzi looked exhausted and didn't even bring an umbrella. It was obvious that she came here at short notice after hearing the news. Yushan Heren had to admit that he was in the wrong.
However, Yushan Kazuto only thought that Sora Ginko came from Kiyotaki Kosuke's house, but he didn't know that Sora Ginko was still in Fukuoka in the morning. After hearing the news about Kato Megumi, she hurriedly flew back to Tokyo without even having breakfast. The Go Institute does not have holidays during the Golden Week.
"Tell me about this kind of competition in the future!" Kong Yinzi's fan hit Yushan Heren again. Yushan Heren's eyebrows moved and he nodded.
"You look a little tired. Go sit with Kato for a while."
Kong Yinzi's condition did not look very good. She was sweating, her breathing was uneven, and her skin was pale. Her health was not very good to begin with, and her current condition was even more worrying.
"Kato?" Kong Ginko glanced at the competition venue, but still couldn't find Kato Megumi. It must be said that Kato Megumi's stealth skills were still as superb as ever. "Where is she?"
"Over there." Yushan Heren pointed in the direction.
"Then I'll go first." After looking in the direction of Yushan Kazuto's finger for more than ten seconds, Kong Yinzi finally saw Kato Megumi, nodded slightly, and walked in that direction. A breeze blew by, and Kong Yinzi suddenly felt dizzy, staggered, and almost fell to the ground.
Yushan Heren hurriedly supported her: "Wait a moment, I'll get you something."
Kong Yinzi nodded blankly. She felt her mind was a mess, her body was unusually heavy, and her thinking and movements were much slower.
Kasumigaoka Utaha stood quietly by the side, with a hint of resentment hidden in her wine-red eyes, as she watched Yushan Kazuto run into the players' lounge.
Soon, Yushan and his men ran out with something. He did not give the thing to Sora Ginko, but delivered it to Kasumigaoka Utaha instead.
A black umbrella, a towel, a few bottles of sports drinks, and a handful of candy.
"Can you please send Sora Ginko to Kato?" Hayama Kazuto looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha and said calmly.
"Is that cute junior high school student your new love, Kazuki-kun?" Kasumigaoka Utaha's voice was so soft that only Yushan Kazuto could hear it.
"New love? Then who is my old love? You?" Yushan Heren glanced at Kong Yinzi, and after making sure that she didn't hear him, he spoke in a low voice.
"Heqi-kun is really good at climbing up the pole? So am I your designated ex-girlfriend?" Kasumigaoka Utaha lifted her hair and moved a little closer to Yushan Kazuto.
"The first half of the sentence can be returned to you intact." Yushan Heren raised his head a little higher and said, "If you don't want to send Kong Yinzi over, I will send her over myself."
"Heqi-kun should have a good rest and prepare for the second half of the game. As long as you say something nice, I will do you a small favor!" Looking at the reaction of Yushan Kazuto, Kasumigaoka Utaha laughed as if she had found a fun toy.
"Thank you for your help, senior." Yushan Kazuto smiled, lowered his head to Kasumigaoka Utaha's ear, and whispered softly.
A blush instantly covered Kasumigaoka Utaha's face, like the clouds in the sky at dusk in summer.
[Damn it, I lost to him again this time. ]
Kasumigaoka Utaha took the things from Yushan Kazuto angrily and walked to Sora Ginko's side: "The junior asked me to take you to Kato-san."
"Hmm." Kong Yinzi murmured. She was already feeling a little dizzy and thought that she probably wouldn't be able to find Kato Megumi by herself.
"Open the umbrella." Yushan Heren shouted. After seeing Kasumigaoka Utaha open the umbrella to protect Sora Ginko, Yushan Heren turned around and went back to the lounge.
Yushan Kazuto did not notice that in the distance, there was a faint light flashing in Kato Megumi's eyes.
……
"Oh, damn it! The great devil Yushan has recruited new minions! The evil power has strengthened death again!" On the rooftop, Toumori Sanae, who had been observing the entire interaction between Yushan and the two girls, stomped her feet in anger.
"Dongguamiao, what are you talking about?" Ying Lili in the corner wanted to go over to take a look, but as soon as she stuck her head out, a gust of cold wind destroyed her courage.
"Have Kitahara Yuki Onna and the Abyss Succubus also become servants of the Great Demon Lord Yushan? The power of the Great Demon Lord Yushan has expanded to this extent! When will justice come to Death!"
Eriri glanced at Toumori Sanae with disdain. It seemed that the two of them couldn't communicate normally.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound of footsteps coming from the stairs. Eriri quickly pulled Touma Sanae to the corner and covered her mouth. Fengzhiqi did not allow students to enter the rooftop at will, so the two of them sneaked up.
"Hmm? Where is the person who was peeking at me with a telescope just now?" A shadow appeared in front of Eriri and Sanae Touma. Just by looking at this shadow, one could imagine the graceful figure of the person who came, which was a level that Eriri and Sanae Touma could never reach no matter how hard they tried.
Ying Lili looked at the shadow that made her feel ashamed of herself and couldn't help but gasp.
"Found it, it's over here." A smiling face appeared in front of the two. The smile was gentle and warm, but it scared the two of them so much that they shrank their bodies, huddled together, and trembled.
