I like traveling the most

Under Leone's gnashing gaze, Kobayashi left his seat and walked towards the ring as if nothing had happened.

He walked slowly to Tatsumi's front and looked at the fan-shaped statistical chart that revealed one part of surprise, two parts of joy, three parts of sadness and four parts of anger in his eyes.

If nothing had really happened between them, he would have thought he was some heartless and unfaithful man.

"Ah, long time no see, Tatsumi."

"... Kobayashi."

"Should I say it's a coincidence or fate? I didn't expect to meet again in such an occasion."

This is a lie.

In fact, Kobayashi deliberately asked Celyu to help cut in. Although he felt strange, he said that he and Tatsumi were good friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time and were ready to meet again on the ring to give each other a surprise, so Celyu readily agreed.

And the purpose of doing this is naturally to be a good green leaf and set off Tatsumi, the little white flower.

"Why, why are you here?!"

Tatsumi was very angry when he saw Kobayashi. He asked angrily: "Do you know that after you left, everyone was so...!!!"

"Tatsumi! Hush--"

Kobayashi stopped him softly, and at the same time put his index finger on his lips, and his eyes indicated that there were outsiders around.

Tatsumi wanted to ask impulsively, but finally clenched his fist and endured it.

Will's mouth twitched and smiled awkwardly.

It seems that although the two are old acquaintances, there seems to be some grudge between them, so it is better not to get involved.

Then he raised his right hand high.

"Next, the ninth group's battle begins!"

"...It begins.

Lan on the imperial capital viewing platform couldn't help but whispered, because Esdeath had been bored with the battle on the ring from the beginning, until the two sides of the ninth group came on the stage, her eyes lit up and she was slightly alert.

"General Esdeath, are you interested in the two people on the stage?"

"I just saw an interesting person. "

Esdeath saw the boy who made her feel strangely familiar, and she paid some attention to his appearance.

"Is that so?"

Lan was also slightly surprised, and turned her eyes back to the ring.

The two people on the ring were fighting at a high frequency.

"Tatsumi, you have become stronger."

Kobayashi kept blocking the straight punches that came, with great speed and momentum, very much in Brand's style.

"Hmph!"

Tatsumi snorted.

Seeing Kobayashi doing it with ease, he certainly felt unhappy, and the fist in his hand increased the speed.

"Obviously, he is a junior who joined later than me."

"No, Tatsumi. I didn't join you, and I am older than you, you should call me senior."

"What did you say? ! "

It would have been better if he hadn't said it. Once he said it, Tatsumi got even angrier.

During the time when Krillin was away, Leone drank all day and called Krillin a bastard. Akame seemed to have not changed, but she would always put Krillin's name on the scarecrow for sword testing. Even Main often put the clothes she bought for him before on it and blasted it. Najeshitan and Lubbock were also worried because they regarded Krillin as an imaginary enemy.

It's conceivable how important Krillin is to them.

Now he actually said that it has nothing to do with them?!

Krillin, who was peeking into his heart, couldn't help but open his mouth to defend himself: "Wait, did you misunderstand something?"

"Shut up! I don't want to hear it! "

After Tatsumi's anger exceeded the critical value, both the speed and strength of his fists increased by several points, but the price was that the attack paths were disorganized and no effective combos were formed, resulting in omissions.

--Flaw!

Kobayashi pushed away the oncoming fist, causing his center of gravity to be unstable and stiff for a short time, and then punched Tatsumi's waist and abdomen at a very fast speed.

"Puff!"

Tatsumi's face tightened, covering his waist and abdomen and taking a big step back, and then quickly adjusted his scattered breathing.

"No, no, how can you be emotional? Even if you are angry, you have to keep it. "

Kobayashi tapped his forehead with his index finger and taught him: "Brand is also an excited and passionate man, but he is not burning the fire on the surface. His body just becomes hot but his mind is always calm. You still have a lot to learn from this. ”

“Brother…”

→

Tatsumi would recall what his elder brother had said and what he had taught him on the dragon boat.

Then he became even angrier.

Because it was only after hearing the news of his elder brother’s death that Kobayashi decided to leave them.

“Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!!! "

Tatsumi rushed forward again, and his fists quickly aimed at Kobayashi's weak points every time. Unfortunately, his intentions were too obvious and he was easily dodged and blocked every time. This would only waste his energy.

--It was time to decide the winner.

Will, who was acting as the referee, made a judgment subconsciously.

After the two had fought for a while, he knew that Tatsumi was far from being Kobayashi's opponent.

Although it seemed that Tatsumi was constantly punching and attacking, forcing Kobayashi to retreat and be forced to defend, in fact, Kobayashi was very comfortable with it.

In addition, if he could not attack for a long time, Tatsumi would soon be defeated due to lack of physical strength.

At this time, the battle also changed violently, not only fists, but also legs joined the attack.

Kick forward, kick forward again!

Raise your legs and kick towards Kobayashi's waist and abdomen. Two extremely fast kicks, but they were easily blocked.

Tatsumi was not discouraged.

Pull your legs back, twist your waist, turn around...!

Wait!

Why does this move look so familiar?

Kobayashi recalled the scene of his first fight with Brand.

At that time, Tatsumi was also watching.

Was it a back kick to the chest?

But judging from the micro-movement of the muscles, it was a high kick to the chin.

——Insight!

Unsure, Kobayashi immediately peeked into his mind, but found that he was just desperately thinking about the scene of Brand's death in his mind, which made Kobayashi's defense a little careless.

At the same time, Tatsumi's eyes lit up, and he used all his strength to concentrate on this attack.

——Kick to the chest!

Did he choose to trust Brand instead of following his instinct?

Kobayashi quickly raised his arms and crossed them in front of his chest to block. Although he barely blocked it, he still slid back several meters because the kick was too strong.

Coincidentally, he fell under the ring.

"I didn't expect that the impulsive attack before was all acting, the purpose was to force me to the edge of the ring, and then use a powerful blow to make me fall down."

Kobayashi exposed his plan in a short sentence, and praised: "I really underestimated you, I lost, Tatsumi."

-Liar.

Will, who is a bystander, knows that things are not as Kobayashi said.

It is true that Kobayashi did not react in time when he was kicked, but in fact, he had adjusted his posture at that time and would not slide so far.

But for some reason, he deliberately adjusted the angle to make himself slide further, and "just happened" to fall off the ring.

It seems that there is something between them.

But these have nothing to do with him, he only has one thing to do.

"-Winner, Tatsumi!"

"Oh oh oh oh oh!!!"xN

Facing the constant cheers from the surroundings, Tatsumi was still in a slightly dazed state.

Kobayashi encouraged, "It's my fault that you're not calm. You're the same as Brand. He'll be happy to know. So, stand up and accept everyone's cheers."

"Cheer for me... It feels good!"

Tatsumi raised her right hand and smiled innocently.

This infectious smile instantly turned into an arrow of love, shooting at Esdeath on the viewing platform and successfully captured her mind.

Then, she came to the ring.

After asking Tatsumi's name, the strong Esdeath immediately said that he would take him away without giving him a chance to resist.

Kobayashi, who was watching the show, was a little disappointed because Esdeath didn't look at him the whole time. He thought that the previous conversation would leave some impression so that he could borrow the convenience.

But forget it, this is exactly what he expected.

Girls in love have zero IQ.

Although Esdeath is not a pure love brain, the appearance of Tatsumi did reduce her IQ.

Let him make good use of this gap.

"——Excuse me! I want to join the hunters!"

As for the question of whether to let it go or not, would I do something so risky?
