For a long time, Echizen didn't say a word, just watched the minister return to the venue step by step.

To become the pillar of Qing Xue, he will become the core of Qing Xue after Tezuka.

He understood that this was what Tezuka wanted to tell him.So in this game, the minister will compete until the end, and he should also watch the end seriously.

"Minister." Echizen turned his eyes away, "Don't lose to someone else after you beat me." If that's the case, it's a long way off!

Tezuka paused, and slowly said: "I will definitely win." But...

Sorry, Echizen.I probably... really can't win.However, you have to win.And you will win.

Echizen stood up.He didn't think he was qualified to sit on this bench.Not because of the duty of coaching on the field, but because of the man standing in the field.He is not yet qualified to be this person's mentor.

Now, it's time to warm up.

Although Echizen didn't want to admit it, he also understood that he had to play next.

Tezuka returned to the venue and said to Atobe, "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. Now, let's finish it."

This time, Atobe was speechless.

Let's end it, for this two-part battle.Zhizi thought quietly, Keigo Atobe, you are playing the role of a villain now.She scanned the eyes of others little by little, whether it was Aigaku, Li Haidai, Yamabuki, or even some of Hyotei's students, their eyes told Zhizi that they were already on Tezuka's side.

The tie-break was carried out bit by bit, and the tight score made everyone feel complicated.

But unlike others, the most uncomfortable thing at the moment should be the bad guy.

Thoughtful and calm, this is what Atobe has always said about Tezuka.However, from this moment on, he realized that this person still had a passionate side.

It seemed endless, Atobe had only one thought at this time - if possible, just keep fighting like this, even if you lose to Tezuka...it doesn't matter.

Tezuka couldn't hit the zero-cut ball anymore, and he used Tezuka's field for the last time-at this moment, Atobe couldn't return in time because he was scrambling to save the ball.

But the ball didn't go over the net.

Seven to six, the ice emperor won.

But on the side of the Ice Empress, no one cheered.

Zhizi lowered her eyelids, Bingdi won, Atobe won, she should be happy, but she couldn't laugh.

Atobe sat on a chair with a bit of weakness, covered with a towel, and couldn't speak smoothly.He won, but not by force.Next time... if there is a next time.

Due to two wins, two losses and one tie, Echizen will play in overtime.

Atobe closed his eyes weakly, the current Hiyoshi is not good enough.So, call it a day.

The extra time went on very quickly, and until the referee finally announced the score was [-]-[-], most of the Ice Empress hadn't reacted, let alone accepted it.

lost?

Minister Atobe worked so hard to win, why did Ice Emperor still lose? !

Zhizi can't blame Hiyoshi, after all, Echizen is undefeated in official competitions, isn't he?Even though the competition ended like this, it ended like this.

After the game, Supervisor Sakaki simply mentioned a few words and then disbanded the team, telling the players to go back and have a good rest.

In this game, it's not a loss.

Seeing that everyone was about to go back, Tomoka ran over angrily and stopped in front of Atobe: "Minister Ice Emperor, it's not fair for you to win at all, you should feel ashamed!"

Atobe paused.

Zhizi was startled, and pursed his lips: "Pengxiang!" There was already a sense of resentment in the words.No matter what the two-part battle is like, it's... It's not up to outsiders to judge——

"I'm sorry..." Ying Nao, who chased after her, was full of perplexity, but her eyes told Zhizi that she apologized only because of Tomoka's impolite attitude, and she supported Tomoka's words.

Zhizi didn't say anything, came in front of them, and met Shang Pengxiang's eyes without saying a word.She doesn't have a position to meddle in this, but it doesn't stop her friend from being rude to...another friend.And she knew very well that more than one person had said that her cold expression was more oppressive than any words.

Pengxiang stared at her blankly for a long time: "...Sorry." After saying that, she turned and ran away.

Sakura Nao bowed lightly and then left, but Zhizi felt sad for a while.

"Please don't mind." Zhizi said softly.

Atobe patted her head and walked straight away—but not in the direction of going back.

Zhizi was still hesitating, but saw that Huadi didn't follow him, but came in front of him: "Mr. Wangyue." After that, Huadi didn't continue.

But Zhizi knew what he meant.so……

Zhizi smiled lightly, like the haze who never lost in Ice Emperor: "Everyone worked hard, go back and have a good rest." After that, she decided to quietly follow Atobe to see where this guy would go to calm down.

Watching Atobe and Zhizi disappear one after another, Xiang Ri was a little uncertain: "Zhizi has always been reliable, right?" It can be seen that the minister's mood is extremely bad.

Shinobu let out a long breath: "Don't worry." If Atobe can tolerate someone approaching him at this time, then that person should be Mochizuki.What a wonderful conclusion—but next time, Ice Empress will not lose again!

The members scattered in twos and threes, preparing for the normal study and life in the next period of time, and the Kanto competition in the near future.

Kanto Contest, not a bad word, isn't it?

On the other side, Zhizi followed Atobe from a distance. She thought that the other party should have discovered herself a long time ago. After all, the insight was there-even if he was still tired after the game, he was still Atobe.So Atobe is still very good, she has a little doubt that Atobe deliberately maintained this speed, enough to make herself close to trotting but not too fast.

Passing the corner, suddenly, she almost bumped into——

"Atobe, why did you stop?"

Seeing Zhizi's very normal expression, Atobe only felt that his aggrieved and bored mood was even more aggrieved: "You still asked directly?" He followed behind him openly, who taught her to do this?But it's not that boring.

Zhizi rubbed his nose and said in a low voice: "They are worried about you, so they sent me to take care of you—don't show such a disgusted expression—and, I think you played very well and very well." Although you are a bad person , the villain.

Atobe stared at her for a while, then turned and left.

Did I say something wrong?Zhizi really didn't know what to say, so she just lagged behind him by half a step to show her respect—actually, she didn't know where Atobu was going, so she fell behind a little.

Following the silent Atobe around, Zhizi slowly relaxed a little: "Are you hungry?" It was time for dinner, and she felt that she could treat Atobe to a meal to ease his mood——the premise It is the other party who pays as much attention to eating and drinking as himself.

"No." Atobe replied calmly.

"Oh." Zhizi replied very understandingly, and after a while whispered, "I'm a little hungry." After that, she saw that the Ministry of Tracing had no intention of disgusting her, so she tentatively began to lead the way——

After a few steps, Atobe followed her as if accepting his fate.

Zhizi's mood just now can be described as mixed, including disappointment and annoyance at Bingdi's loss of the championship, guilt and guilt at the Minister of Qing Xue, worry and concern for his own minister, and at a loss for the current atmosphere.But by now, the biggest part has been dinner cravings.I have to say, to some extent, she is very big-hearted.

Atobe easily recognized her destination, but still didn't intend to speak.

After she pressed Atobe on the seat and ordered two bowls of noodles from the shopkeeper unskillfully, Atobe came back to his senses: "I am not very hungry." So ordinary bowls are fine.

Zhizi was very relieved that he could continue to call himself my uncle, which meant that Atobe might not be in such a bad mood: "So I just ordered a big bowl for myself."

"You..." Atobe felt choked again, no matter how long they had known each other, this girl would always find a way to refresh her cognition.

Zhizi specially told her ramen to be spicy, and came back to sit down: "I remember that you don't like spicy food very much, so you can eat a small bowl - after all, chili is appetizing, and I don't think you are hungry. I said last time because It’s my first time here, so I’m sorry I didn’t ask for anything, so I’m not going to be polite today.”

After hearing her say so much in a long list, Atobe felt that it wasn't that bad anymore, but he still didn't want to ask: "Really."

"Of course, after all, I'm quite tired after watching the game all day." Zhizi quietly touched his flat stomach, feeling that the smell of noodles made him even hungrier.

……Oh.

Atobe didn't want to talk to her anymore.

Zhizi was afraid of being cold, so he said something here and there, which made Atobe feel novel—he had never seen this girl raise the topic because of being afraid of being cold.

When the two bowls of noodles were served, Zhizi enthusiastically helped Atobe push the noodle bowls—of course the smaller one belonged to him—and began to eat seriously.

From Atobe’s point of view, the world is now quiet.This is the quietness he wanted, but without the noise, it feels... Anyway, seeing her eating noodles will make others feel very satisfied.

The first few mouthfuls were just casual, and gradually it became that both of them were serious about filling their stomachs.Zhizi's mind was on the noodles, so no one spoke again, but the atmosphere was not awkward.

Zhizi first solved the food in one step, and drank the noodle soup contentedly: "It tastes really good, and your recommendation is really good."

"You said that." There was a slight smile in Atobe's voice.Is this a forced chat?

Zhizi didn't care: "But it's the truth." She stretched her waist, seeing that the trace department had almost eaten, and said cautiously, "Hey, about today's game, you are still angry, no, you are still upset ?"

Atobe felt that it was ridiculous that he was still very uncomfortable just now: "What do you think?!" Did you ask such a question!

Zhizi shrunk her neck and carefully looked at Atobe's expression: "Actually, there is nothing fair or unfair. You won by your own strength..." At this point, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. Maybe it was because Tezuka deliberately let go of the water. , "I mean, you're doing pretty well." It's just... it's really a bit out of place.

Atobe had already seen what she wanted to say, so he was not angry at the moment, and said slowly: "Of course I know." So what do you want to say next?

"So, even if I do it all over again, I will still say the same thing—Minister Atobu, please do your best—don't listen to what others say, there are always boring people, right?" Zhizi thought silently, Pengxiang , I won't forgive you if you don't treat me to ice cream on weekends. —Forget it, my attitude is even worse, let me treat you.

Atobe smiled: "Your performance today is okay, I am barely satisfied." He doesn't like other people's comfort, but at this moment, looking at the subtle and soft emotions in the other person's eyes, he is not so sure.It's not bad if it goes on like this, isn't it?

"Hey..." Still barely!Zhizi thought for a while and then said, "Over there at Qingxue, I want to ask about their tennis club. It's about...the other minister." Her voice became weaker and weaker.

"Here." Atobe pushed over a business card——

"Is this... German or French?" Zhizi was a little confused, unable to recognize the letters on it.

Atobe said indifferently: "Give this to Tezuka. You don't need to worry about the rest." She couldn't even recognize this, not gorgeous woman.

Zhizi thought about it, Tezuka would go to Germany to treat his arm, maybe it was also due to Atobe's credit-of course, he had to go for treatment because of the match against Atobe.

Thinking of this, she quickly put it away: "Thank you! Actually, you are a good person." Recalling the eyes of others at the end of the game, she still felt uncomfortable.Even she, who was a bystander and didn't care much about other people's opinions, felt sad, so how uncomfortable should Mo Mo feel?

"Of course I'm a good man." Atobe let out a muffled laugh and got up to pay the bill.

Zhizi was a step late, comforting himself: This bowl of noodles is my reward for enlightening him.

"Let's go." Atobe raised his chin, "I will take you home."

Zhizi was taken aback: "Hey, but how do you feel now?"

Atobe was even more taken aback: "It's okay. Why are you asking this?" Weird question.

Zhizi laughed dryly and said, "If you're in a bad mood, I won't worry about going home—in that case, it's better for me to send you back." According to her experience, tennis princes are a group of people who are easy to find trouble. It's easy to say that a large group of people will be involved in accidents for ironic reasons.The same is true for Atobe, what if something happens, Ice Emperor cannot live without a minister.

Atobe patted her on the head unceremoniously: "Trouble-going!" His thoughts were all written on his face, why would he know such a person?

"Oh..." Zhizi honestly didn't refute, he thought to himself that you are in a bad mood, let me bear with it.

It is said that this competition is over, and the next time is the Kanto Competition—this time, it will definitely not be against Shang Qingxue in the first match, and the road of Bingdi will be smoother.

——Zhi Zi, who had cheated Fudo Peak, thought with peace of mind.
