Chapter 106 Various JK Girls
Tokyo Budokan is located in Kitanomaru Park, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.
The original purpose of construction was to hold the 1964 Tokyo Olympics venue, and later it gradually became the so-called "peak of talent".
Although the Budokan plays an important role both in its current status and in the historical sense, in fact, the Budokan seems a bit unimpressive because of its "age problem".
At least that's what Haruno Sawayama thinks.
"It feels a little smaller than I thought."
After entering the infield, he couldn't help but look at the surrounding environment, and whispered to Feng Shiori beside him.
This is not a little small, it is much smaller than imagined.
Although I already knew that the martial arts gym that could accommodate more than 10,000 people was not that big, it was only after I actually arrived that I realized how simple it was.
How should I put it, I feel like I only realize that this place is just like this after I actually arrive. Maybe only people with a special obsession with honor will find this place to be sacred.
Sawayama Haruno thinks that it needs to be expanded at least to create a venue that can accommodate about 50,000 to 60,000 people?
"Is this still young?"
After hearing what he said, Feng Shiori was obviously a little confused.
She explained in a low voice: "Under normal circumstances, the use period of the martial arts hall is strictly sorted, and except for things like concerts, most of the events are not open to the public. This area is actually It’s more than enough.”
"All right."
Sawayama Haruno touched his chin and said with a smile: "It does seem to make sense."
"Then, which way should we go?"
As he spoke, he cast his gaze to the center of the field below.
There are already many people gathered there, but it seems that the competition has not started yet, but it is a session of mutual communication.
In the whole hall, perhaps only the venue was more lively. There were only a few people like him and Shiori Mine who entered the auditorium through the audience passage after entering from the ticket gate.
"Can you find a seat closer to the front?"
Mine Shiori's eyes flicked back and forth in the field more than once, and there was an inexplicable look of longing in the pupils of the petite girl.
She pointed to another passage not far away and explained patiently: "There should be many people who haven't appeared and haven't seen where Suguha is."
"Are the people down there from other high schools?"
Sawayama Haruno looked around, found a seat and sat down, and said with a smile: "You don't look very old."
This is true. Most of the people standing in the center of the field at this moment are mainly young people.
The only surprising thing is that there are actually quite a few girls.
But thinking about it, Ezaki Suguha must be participating in a women's kendo competition, and her opponents will definitely be all kinds of JK girls with strong skills.
It's a pity that the armor he wore was too thick and he couldn't see anything clearly during the game, Sawayama Haruno thought with some regret.
Mine Shiori sat next to him obediently, not paying much attention to the situation in the venue. Instead, she took her mobile phone and sent a message to Esaki Suguha.
"It seems that the exchange competition is about to start."
She whispered: "It is said that the men's group has ended just now, so Suguha is preparing in the lounge now."
"Is she nervous?"
Sawayama Haruno asked casually. But Mine Shiori actually typed and asked the other party, but the reply she got in the end was very straightforward.
This straight-forward girl doesn’t seem to know what nervousness is, and she has already expressed her confidence that she “will win” on LINE.
"It should be fine, but Suguha suddenly asked me to come over, Haruno."
Mine Shiori turned around and looked at Haruno Sawayama apologetically.
She has received the other party's message from LINE. Esaki Suguha hopes that she can go to the lounge now. It seems that she wants to ask her for something.
"It's okay, go ahead."
Sawayama Haruno seemed a little indifferent. After waving his hand, he motioned for Mine Shiori to hurry over.
Judging from this situation, the exchange competition of the women's group should start soon. It shouldn't be too boring to sit here, right?
If that doesn't work, just record some video and show it to Maki Miyazawa, or maybe make a video call directly to the other party?
Sawayama Haruno leaned back and stared lazily at what was going on in the venue.
Less than ten minutes after Shiori Mine left, the other players on the field gradually withdrew.
A few people even retreated to the auditorium in the infield, not far below Haruno Sawayama.
Then a referee wearing a black hat appeared, and neatly dressed kendo girls appeared in the aisles on both sides.
Sawayama Haruno became slightly more interested. He squinted his eyes and looked over but could not see a familiar figure.
——I don’t even know which one is Ezaki Suguha.
On the contrary, it was Mine Shiori who saw him standing at the exit of the passage holding a camera. When Haruno Sawayama looked over, she smiled awkwardly.
"The ones on the left are the exchange teams from Kanagawa and Hokkaido Kendo Federation, and the ones on the right are our local alliance members in Tokyo."
A man in a suit and half-rimmed glasses sat in a row behind Haruno Sawayama at some point.
He leaned forward slightly and explained with interest: "Kanagawa's exchange team is very strong. Their swordsmanship instructor is said to be a member of the local public security department, and has won the championship of the island's national kendo championships several times. "
"So awesome."
Hearing this, Haruno Sawayama couldn't help but glance at the man in suit behind him.
He didn't expect that the other party was so aware of his opponent's strength and really loved kendo.
"Then according to what you said, wouldn't the people in the Tokyo team be very dangerous?" Haruno Sawayama said casually, " The champion of the Kendo Championship must be very strong, right?”
"Of course it's very strong, but it's not bad here in Tokyo."
The man in a suit shrugged and said, "Tokyo's coach was hired from Kanagawa and is the teacher of the opponent's instructor."
"."
I don’t know why, but it feels like it’s not unexpected.
During the conversation, the contestants entering from the aisle were already arranged in order and ready to take their seats.
What surprised Haruno Sawayama was that the exchange competition was not held one at a time, but took the form of multiple games at a time.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems quite reasonable. After all, the venue is so big that two people don't need so much space for a competition. The time used in the martial arts hall is very precious, so semi-public exchange events naturally focus on efficiency.
"Here we go, the team in the middle of the field."
The man in the suit suddenly spoke.
