When she saw Shima Rin, Izumi Sagiri couldn't believe her eyes.
Isn't Shima Rin a friend that Hayama Kazuto met when he went to Yamanashi? Why is she staying at home now?
Shima Rin also noticed Izumi Sagiri and looked a little embarrassed.
She didn't know how to explain to Sagiri Izumi, so she could only take off her airpods silently, her beautiful eyes wandering.
Izumi Sagiri sat on the sofa, separate from Shima Rin.
Shima Rin didn't dare to say hello actively, and Izumi Sagiri was even more afraid. If she didn't know Shima Rin, Izumi Sagiri would have probably returned to her room.
Seeing Izumi Sagiri's reaction, Shima Rin breathed a sigh of relief. This state of not disturbing each other was the best choice. If they had to break this balance and tranquility, it would make both of them feel embarrassed.
In a strange and balanced tacit understanding, the two sat on the sofa, living in peace.
……
"Kazuto-nii-nii!"
As soon as the morning exercise ended and after seeing off Kato Megumi and returning to the intersection, a small figure couldn't wait to throw himself into Yushan Kazuto's arms.
"Xiaohua, why are you here?" Seeing Baisakihua, Yushan Heren couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Today is an important match for you, Brother Kazuto. We are here to cheer for you, Brother Kazuto!" said Shirosaki Hana with a smile.
"You guys?" Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but look around. As expected, Shirasaki Haruka was hiding in the apartment building. In addition, Hoshino Hinata, Himesaka Noa and even Matsumoto Yuna were lying on the glass, looking at Yushan Kazuto and Shirasaki Hana.
"So many people are here." Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but grin and led Shirasaki Hana into the apartment.
"Has everyone had breakfast?" Yushan Heren asked angrily.
If everyone hasn't eaten, it would be a bit troublesome to prepare breakfast for so many people.
"I had already eaten before we set off." Shirasaki Haruka said with a smile.
"Is that so?" Yushan Heren nodded and felt relieved.
"Brother Kazuto, did you go for morning exercise just now?" Hoshino Hinata came over and looked at Yushan Kazuto with some admiration.
She also has some interest in football. When she learned that Hayama Kazuto led Toyonosaki to the national finals, she completely turned into a little fangirl.
"Well, I exercised for a while." Yushanheren said.
"But... we have a competition in the morning. Wouldn't it be a waste of energy to exercise in the morning?" Hoshino Hinata asked worriedly.
"It's okay, just a warm-up." Yushan Heren smiled and walked forward.
Matsumoto Yuna, who was originally standing next to Himesaka Noa, couldn't help but take a step back and hugged Himesaka Noa.
"Little Yuna, we meet again." Yushan Kazuto bent down and looked at Matsumoto Yuna.
"Kazuto, Kazuto-brother?" Children just grow up fast. After not seeing him for a while, Matsumoto Yuna looks a lot taller and more sensible.
"Well, little Yuna is here to watch the game too?" Yushan Kazuto touched Matsumoto Yuna's little head.
"Touna stayed at my house yesterday, so I brought her here today." Hoshino Hinata said with a chuckle.
"Huh? Is that so?" Yushan Kazuto looked at Matsumoto Yuna.
Matsumoto Yuna hid behind Himesaka Noa and nodded slightly.
"Let's go, let's go upstairs first." Yushan Heren smiled. Time was still a little tight. Reminiscing and chatting might have to be postponed. The current priority was to go home and take a shower.
Several people nodded and followed Yushan and others into the elevator.
Matsumoto Yuna took a few quick steps and grabbed the corner of Yushan Kazuto's clothes.
……
"Sagiri-sister! Yukinoshita class! Hmm, and Shima-sister?"
Seeing Izumi Sagiri, Yukinoshita Yukino, and Shima Rin sitting on the sofa, Shirasaki Hana couldn't help but shout.
While Hayama Kazuto was still doing morning exercises, Yukinoshita Yukino had already arrived. She originally planned to wait for Hayama Kazuto downstairs, but when she saw the arrival of Shirosaki Hana and her group, she hurried upstairs in advance.
"Is that the one you mentioned at home, Xiaohua, the cool sister who loved camping that you met in Yamanashi?" asked Shirasaki Haruka.
I have also seen Yukinoshita Yukino and Shirasaki Haruka before, not to mention Izumi Sagiri, they are so familiar to each other. The only person present who I have not seen before is Shima Rin.
After being inadvertently praised by Shirasaki Haruka, Shima Rin couldn't help but blush and lowered her head.
"Yes, that's right, Mom, it's Sister Shima." Shirosaki Hana nodded.
"Sister Shima, why did you come to Tokyo?" Noa Himesaka came close to Shima Rin and asked.
Shima Rin blinked slightly, not knowing where to start.
"Urban camping?" Shirasaki Haruka asked with a smile.
Since Shima Rin likes camping, we should start analyzing her hobbies.
Shima Rin looked up at Shirasaki Haruka and finally nodded slightly.
Even though Haruka Shirasaki is now the mother of Hana Shirasaki and looks gentle and graceful, she was also very fashionable when she was young.
"But it must have rained heavily in Tokyo yesterday. I'm afraid it's not very suitable for city camping?" Shirasaki Haruka raised her head, looked at the ceiling, and couldn't help but say.
Last night's rain was torrential. Although the wind and rain have stopped for a while now, there is still water on the ground and even broken branches of trees.
Everything indicates that yesterday's rainstorm has arrived.
How big is the bottom.
Camping is really difficult in such heavy rain.
"Because it's raining, I'm staying here with Kazuto for one night." Shima Rin said in a low voice.
Yukinoshita Yukino and Izumi Sagiri couldn't help but prick up their ears, and only after hearing Shima Rin's explanation did they breathe a sigh of relief.
"I saw someone posted a photo saying that Tokyo is about to sink. How heavy was the rain last night?" Noa Himesaka came over and asked.
Looking at the photos in Himesaka Noa's phone, Shima Rin couldn't help but blink slightly. The composition of this photo is still good, but the photo-editing technique is a bit poor, and the whole Tokyo was edited into an endless ocean.
If the situation in the picture really happens, saying that Tokyo is sinking doesn't seem to be a big problem.
"It's not that exaggerated." Shima Lin shook her head, took out her cell phone, and pulled up a photo she took at the campsite.
"It's only this deep?" Hoshino Hinata looked a little disappointed.
"It was shortly after the heavy rain, and then I came here," Shima Rin explained.
Hoshino Hinata nodded as if she understood, and asked like a curious baby. Although Shima Rin's reply was not quick, she responded in a serious manner.
Watching the conversation between the few people, Yushan Heren couldn't help but smile.
As expected, Shima Rin only appears to be a bit cold, but her actual personality is not that cold.
This can also be seen when the two of them communicate.
Chapter 1304: Invitation from Aomori Yamada
After taking a shower and walking out of the room, Shirasaki Haruka had already helped prepare breakfast.
Although he felt a little embarrassed, Yushan Kazuto still accepted Shirasaki Haruka's kindness. After all, the game was about to start at 10 ., and he needed to enter the stadium early. He basically had to arrive at the Tokyo Stadium before 9 ., which was actually quite tight.
After breakfast, Yushan and Ren drove a few people to the Tokyo Stadium.
Although Toyonosaki had a sponsored bus, unfortunately, the bus driver was on vacation during the spring break, so all the players had to go to the stadium on their own.
In sharp contrast to this is Aomori Yamada.
Aomori Yamada came all the way from Aomori Prefecture. The school provided them with five-star accommodation, and their daily training ground was in the Tokyo Stadium. It can be said that the Tokyo Stadium is equivalent to half of Aomori Yamada's home field.
Although the quality of the grass at Toyonotsaki's football field is not bad, it is still some distance away from the Tokyo Stadium. To be honest, this is not a good thing for Toyonotsaki.
Especially since the private Toyonosaki Gakuen is located in Tokyo, the Tokyo Stadium has become half of Aomori Yamada's home stadium, which always gives people a feeling of usurping the magpie's nest.
But there is no other way. After all, football in Toyonosaki has just started, and the school will definitely not spend a lot of money to train members of the football club.
Although compared to other clubs, the football club is already a very well-equipped and wealthy club, it is still far behind those famous schools with a football tradition.
Apart from anything else, in terms of team sponsorship alone, Toyosaki can't even catch up with Aomori Yamada.
If Toyonosaki was not located in Tokyo, the team might have to resort to online crowdfunding to raise enough money to participate in the national competition.
Over the years, some dark horse teams that have made it to national competitions have had crowdfunding experiences, and netizens have also donated generously.
However, Toyonozaki is a school in Tokyo, and most of the students of Toyonozaki live in Tokyo, so the costs of accommodation and training fees are naturally saved. This can barely be called good news.
……
In the locker room, Yushan Kazuto was the last to arrive.
Although he tried his best to arrive early, he was still a little late compared to the other players.
"Kazuto, you're here."
When they saw Yushan and his men arrive, everyone seemed to have found their backbone and came over one after another.
Yushan Kazuto nodded, walked to his closet, and asked, "It's not even nine o'clock yet, are you all so enthusiastic?"
"Isn't it? This is the first time in Toyonozaki's history that they have entered the national competition, and it is also the first time in Toyonozaki's history that they have entered the finals of the national competition!" Toyonozaki No. 5 couldn't help but say.
"You weren't so excited that you couldn't sleep last night, were you?" Looking at the other person's excited look, Yushan Heren couldn't help but ask worriedly.
"That's not the case." Fengzhizaki No. 5 said hurriedly.
Everyone has been preparing for this final for a long time, so naturally they would not make such a low-level mistake.
"Let's go and take a look at the stadium first." said the head of the football department.
Everyone nodded. Although they had played in Tokyo Stadium several times, the last game was several days ago, so they were still a little unfamiliar with the venue.
Moreover, it just rained yesterday, so there must be some differences between the stadium after the rain and the stadium in normal conditions.
Although it may not cause too much impact, you still have to adapt to it in advance.
Losing a championship due to a slip is not uncommon in the football world. Before the official start of the game, the organizing committee also sets aside some time for the players to adapt to the stadium.
……
"The ground feels a bit slippery!" After walking around the court, Toyosaki No. 11 couldn't help but say.
"It's indeed a bit slippery, but it should be fine if you are a little careful." Yushan Heren said.
It had just rained and the Tokyo Stadium is not an indoor stadium, so it was good that there was no water accumulation.
"If we play ground ball, it might have some impact." Toyosaki No. 11 nodded and said.
"Yeah, but luckily there's no wind, so at least I can hit half-high balls and high balls without any problems."
If it is as stormy as last night, the high ball will face an embarrassing situation - the ball will fly towards your own goal.
Of course, the ball may also fly towards the opponent's goal. It depends on who is lucky and occupies a favorable geographical location, right?
"Come on." Toyonosaki No. 11 looked at Yuyama Kazuto.
"Still unable to start today?" Yushan Kazuto asked. He remembered that Toyosaki No. 11's recovery effect was very good.
With the help of Toyonosaki XI, Hayama Kazuto can blast his way through the battlefield on his own without facing the risk of being attacked by most of the defenders at the same time.
Even though Toyosaki No. 11 is not in good form, with his speed to attack the defense, the possibility of creating opportunities is higher.
"I'm afraid not. Stability is more important right now." Fengzhizaki No. 11 said helplessly.
In terms of strength, Toyosaki XI can definitely start, but for the sake of stability, it is difficult for the minister to give up the lineup he has trained for a long time.
The minister would only send out Toyosaki Eleven when something unexpected happened and the attack needed to be intensified.
And to be honest, he also had to consider Toyosaki Eleven's muscle problems.
Although he had recovered before, can Toyosaki No. 11 withstand the continuous impact in the 90-minute high-intensity game?
Housing is also an unknown.
From the perspective of the director of the football club, he would rather Toyosaki No. 11 not have the chance to be sent on the field.
After all, that means that Toyonosaki firmly suppressed Aomori Yamada during the game, so that there was no need to send in any more attackers.
However, he also knew that the probability of this happening was very low, and putting Toyosaki No. 11 on the bench could also serve as a substitute.
In the second half of the game, when Aomori Yamada's players were a little exhausted, letting Toyosaki No. 11 come on to attack the defense line might have yielded unexpected results.
After walking around the court, the players from Aomori Yamada also began to enter and check the field.
They were obviously not satisfied with the venue that had just rained, and they couldn't help but frown.
