that man lost his horse

After the trifecta is achieved,

The teenagers of Lihai University brought pennants and trophies, and met the Maori seniors who left the team halfway outside the venue.

Maori's red hair stands out among a crowd of brunettes.As soon as the people from Lihaida walked out of the gate of the venue, they saw the "outstanding" Mori Kosaburo at a glance.

—for his height,

It is not an exaggeration to stand out from the crowd.

"Hey! Well done!" When they got closer, Mao Li raised his hand to greet them, and the red-haired senior smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes: "Long time no see~!"

"Senior, did you come to watch the game by yourself today?" Marui looked around,

There is no one to accompany you...

Mao Li tilted his head, "It's not considered to be a visit, is it? But I want to have dinner with everyone,

Of course you can't take them with you! "

"They are all seniors from high school,

How about inviting us over? "

Kuwahara also had good intentions, but Mouri frowned after hearing this.

"How should I put it... I came with my teammates,

But it's not the group of people in high school. "Maori considered how to explain u17 to them, but after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't come up with it. Maori gave up decisively: "There are too many people here, and I will explain it to you in detail when we get to the dinner party!" "

Speaking of dinner parties,

The three second graders were visibly excited.

Kirihara was the first to express his wish: "Okay! Dinner! We want barbecue! BBQ!"

Imai and Chiba also had a look of excitement on their faces.It's not uncommon to have dinner together in Lihai University,

It's just that this dinner is a celebration dinner for Li Haida after he won the Triple Champion.

The significance is extraordinary. Although they don't play many games as reserve players, witnessing the establishment of a dynasty with their own eyes is enough to make them excited.

Yes,

Lihai University, who has won the national championship for three consecutive years, can already be said to have established a "dynasty" belonging to Lihai University in the middle school tennis world.

Speaking of what to eat for dinner,

Everyone's chatterbox can't be closed.

"Hey—is it barbecue again?" Marui threw a bubble gum into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then blew a bubble, "The last barbecue gave me a shadow."

It is true to say so.

Thinking of what happened to the barbecue last time and the unspeakable drink, Kirihara began to hesitate.

Lin also said, "It's been less than a week since the last time I ate barbecue?"

That's really less than a week.

"If you eat barbecue at such a close distance, it will have a bad effect on your stomach."

As soon as these words came out, Yukimura and Yanagi directly gave up the place of barbecue, and even Sanada, who was determined to be a barbecue pie, began to waver.

Although it is true that he is a barbecue pie...but he also learned kendo from his grandfather since he was a child, and he pays special attention to health preservation! !

As a late-stage picky eater, Nioh doesn't care about what to eat for dinner (he doesn't eat much anyway), not to mention he doesn't want to eat after the game.

Liu Sheng's favorite food is jelly.And that kind of food obviously won't be in a kebab shop. ...Or rather, it's strange that jelly appears in a yakiniku restaurant, right?

Kuwahara's father owns a Brazilian restaurant. Although he likes barbecue, he usually eats a lot, so he doesn't care what he eats for dinner.

Maori is also in trouble now.

"Then where are we going now?" After the barbecue was crossed out from the dinner party options, the choice of dinner party location became the next question.

When he said this, Maori looked at Liu.

He had been living in Kansai before he transferred to another school, and he was not familiar with the Kanto area; after he transferred to another school, he stayed in Kanagawa, and rarely came to Tokyo except for the tennis league, and he was not very familiar with Tokyo's food.

And Liu, as the team's staff and the person in charge of financial power, must have a good understanding of this aspect.

Liu who accurately received the gaze from the senior: ...

Although he plays data tennis, it doesn't have to be.

Lin rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then clenched his right fist and tapped his palm, "I remembered!"

"I remember that there is an Okonomiyaki restaurant near here that tastes good, do you think it's okay?"

The Okonomiyaki shop is not far from the competition venue, only one street away.Such a distance is not worth mentioning for sports teenagers who exercise all the year round.

Considering that Senior Maori obviously had something to explain to them, Lin specifically asked the owner of Okonomiyaki to have a large private room.

The Okonomiyaki shop is also a two-story shop, but although they are all two-story shops, this shop is much larger than the previous barbecue shop.At least, the private room on the second floor of their house has a door, and the sound insulation is also good.

After the dishes were served, the boss closed the door politely and left.

At this time, Maori continued the topic just now.

But he didn't directly cut into the topic, but bought a pass first.

"Speaking of which, do you have any goals, ideas, etc. after the three consecutive battles?" Mori Kosaburo asked as he ate, "Wow! The taste of this restaurant is really good!"

Everyone: ...Sure enough, Senior Mao Li was serious for only three seconds.

When the three of Kirihara entered school, Mouri was already in the third grade, and there was no interaction between them except for daily training, and the little interaction between them was very small after Mouri repeatedly skipped training.This also caused the three people who were very relaxed in front of the seniors to be a little nervous today.

These scenes were watched by several third graders.But it's not a big deal to be cautious in front of the seniors, and let go after a chat, and the few people didn't take it too seriously.

As the minister, Yukimura was of course the first to speak.And his answer was also expected by everyone.

"For me, of course I will continue to play tennis. I will not be worthy of myself until I play professional tennis." Although the tone was gentle, everyone could hear the determination in Yukimura's words.

"Job.com..." Maori slammed his mouth without saying anything, "Where are Sanada and Liu? Do you two also want to play job.com?"

"Maybe I will continue to play tennis in high school. After that, I still want to be a policeman."

Because he was inside the house, Sanada also took off his hat, and everyone could see his expression clearly.It was a look that had already made up its mind and would not change it, going forward indomitably.

Liu still half-closed his eyes, with a smile on his lips: "My words are similar to Xianichiro's. But my career plan is to engage in accounting-related work, which can be regarded as inheriting my father's career."

Molly nodded.It is relatively common for sons to inherit their father's business in Japan.Many people have the idea that "it is better for the children to work in similarly related jobs to what kind of work the father does".

Lin’s thoughts are similar to Liu’s, “For me, I will go to university after I graduate from high school, and I’ll go back to inherit the family business after I graduate from university.” Although he started playing tennis because of Inari God, he has really loved tennis now. Take up the sport of tennis.But compared to tennis and the monster extermination, it's still more important to play one game.But it doesn't mean to give up completely, and I will play a few games of tennis occasionally, but I won't play professional tennis like Yukimura.

The next few people also expressed their own plans: Yagyu wanted to be a doctor, Nioh wanted to study architectural design, Marui planned to open a cake shop, and Kuwahara planned to take over his father’s Brazilian restaurant after graduating from high school and going to a culinary school.

Although they are still junior high school students, everyone has basically thought about the future.Among them, more than half of them "inherit their father's business".

Among the three sophomores, apart from Kirihara who also wanted to work on the job site, the remaining Chiba and Imai also planned to engage in careers related to their parents.

However, the teenagers of Lihai University did not plan to leave Lihai University to go to other schools after graduating from junior high school, nor did they plan to not join the tennis club in high school.

Maori breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.If it's true that everyone doesn't plan to play tennis in high school, it's really hard for him to continue talking about it.

"Since you all decided that you will continue to play tennis in high school, then I can tell you with confidence."

"—Have you heard of u17?"

u17?

Seeing the bewildered expressions of the juniors, Maori began to explain further to them.

"You can understand u17 as a training camp for outstanding young tennis players under the age of 17. The u17 Japan team is the one who represents Japan in the u17 World Cup."

What Mao Li said was very simple, but the teenagers at Lihai University already understood what he meant.

"Senior, what do you mean by this... U17 has changed this year?" Liu asked tentatively.

This is actually not difficult to guess.Those of them who are already in the third grade have never even heard of the name "u17". The previous Suzuki seniors did not reveal a word when they retired. There is an 80.00% possibility of 17% that everyone does not know. , that is to say, the recruitment of u17 in previous years was not for junior high school students. Under the age of [-], but not for middle school students, it is only for high school students.

Combined with the information that senior Maori just revealed: they are teammates but not teammates from high school, it is inconvenient to take them, they leave the team, and talk to them about u17 knowledge...

Yukimura and Lin said in unison: "Are u17 planning to recruit junior high school students this year?"

Maori clapped and clapped, "Awesome!"

Yukimura & Rin: ... I don't know why, but I can't be happy at all.

After teasing the younger generation a little, Mao Li restrained himself and got to the point.

"Actually, there have been rumors in the past few years that the U17 World Cup wanted to join the team of junior high school students, but it has never been successful. Ah, I heard these from the seniors in the team. After all, I was recruited just this year."

"However, at the end of July this year, I just received a notice that the competition organizing committee has passed the decision to join junior high school students. This U17 World Cup will use a mixed competition between high school students and junior high school students." Mao Li I briefly introduced the situation, and the focus is on the second half of the sentence, "So no matter whether you play professional tennis or not, I think this will be a good opportunity. After all, I have played tennis for so long. How much regret will it be?"
