Everyone raised their glasses and just took a snip, while Kanae drank it all in one gulp. Fortunately the store refused to sell them wine, otherwise she would get drunk if drinking like this.
Kanae had to wash her face many times in the bathroom before she finally believed that the club won a champion and broke the record. This was really overjoyed, so she patted Haruna on the back hard and said seriously: "Haruna, thank you for your hard work this time!"
Haruna touched her head and said cheerfully: "It's not hard. If you have anything to do, call me again. I will definitely work hard again."
Riko also held up the glass and said softly: "Haruna, thank you!" She was actually the luckiest. She got a champion after sitting in the audience for two days. Haruna was as a substitute player, so she was still a member of the team even though she was injured. She got some honors without doing anything, while everyone else was at least involved in the battle.
Hide Ochi and Minami Takano were also very happy. They had never expected that this time would go so well. They also raised the glasses together. But Haruka was not very happy. It was good to win, but she hoped that she had fought hard to win the championship herself instead of sitting there to watch others fighting.
Haruna quickly raised her glass: "Riko Sister was injured because of me. I must take my responsibility. Fortunately, I didn't lose. Otherwise, I would really have no face to see my brothers living in the north of the river."
Riko was stuck for a moment and couldn't say anything, while Kazuya kindly reminded: "She is referring to Tomie (a river's name) in Nagoya. Our school is north of Tomie."
She understood and Kanae was very protective of Haruna now: "Haruna, Riko's injury has nothing to do with you! Riko, I will settle this thing with that bastard Hojo when we go back. I will definitely give an explanation! to you!"
Riko had a gentle personality and said with a smile: "Captain, forget it, it's all over."
"I have decided it!" Kanae had a very determined character. She had her own plans in mind and didn't want to mention Suzu Hojo too much. "The eel rice is coming, let's get started!"
Haruna had been looking forward to it for a long time, and a big bowl was placed in front of her. She took a closer look and said excitedly: "Three layers?" The grilled eel slices were stacked one on top of another, and the aroma was overflowing.
She didn't even dare to expect that she could eat eels as many as she wanted. As long as the eel could cover the bowl and pour the sauce on it, she was satisfied. The first layer brought her happiness, two layers were an unexpected surprise, and she couldn't believe it there were three layers.
Kanae touched her head tenderly: "Eat it quickly!" She really liked Haruna. If she could exchange her brother for such a cute sister, she was even willing to give the Sakura family 10 million yen.
"Itadakimasu!" Haruna clapped her hands, picked up a piece of eel with thick sauce and took a small bite. After a moment, her whole face was filled with happiness: "It tastes better than I imagined! "
Then she turned to Kazuya, "Kazuya, let's make eel ourselves at home from now on!"
Kazuya was also tasting it. He felt that the century-old shop's reputation was probably not a lie. There was no fishy smell at all. The eels were probably raised on an empty stomach for a day or two first, and then cooked. It was steamed and grilled with sauce at the end, and the heat in all aspects was very well controlled, which had obviously gone through repeated trials. It was fat but not greasy in the mouth, melting in the mouth and leaving only a rich aroma in the mouth.
If the cook could be calculated the level of cooking skills, he must reach LV 8. It was indeed the ultimate expression of generations of accumulation in this moment.
Kazuya was thinking that if this store opened next to the Pure Flavor House, he would be unable to compete with it without those amazing skills attached to cooking. Hearing Haruna's words, he just smiled at her.
Just eat this meal and stop daydreaming. It's impossible that your sister will allow you to eat eels at home. She will even complaint even if you eat meat buns every day.
However, he still wanted to know this store's century-old secret recipe, but after tasting carefully for a while, he felt that it was impossible. The taste was too complex and no one knew what they added inside.
He gave up, turned around and looked at Yoko, finding that she was being circled by Chika and Ayaka at another table and eating sweetly. She was very sensitive and noticed that Kazuya was looking at her, so she immediately gave him a big smile. She was really very happy to go out, make new friends and can eat delicious food. Of course, the kendo competition was also very interesting.
After winning the women's group championship, everyone was in a happy mood. They ate happily and kept joking. Yuma asked Kanae: "Captain, you treat us to eat eel rice for the women's team won the championship. Then if our men's team also wins, what are you treating us to?"
Kanae was content now. No matter how big her brain was, she dared not think that this year's champions would both be their own. However, she was in a very good mood now so she was also patient with Yuma, the bastard who always taught her younger brother something messy. "You just need to work hard. If the men's team really win, I will treat all of you to play in Hakata for two days. All the expenses will be paid to me."
Yuma said in surprise: "Really?" He just asked casually, mostly jokingly. He didn't expect Kanae to be so generous.
"Really!" She agreed casually. Even if the men's team really won, she would max out her credit cards. It would definitely be worth it to change a champion.
Kazuya raised his head and looked at Kanae, feeling that she might be too excited now, while Yuma turned to Kazuya and said seriously: "Matsuoka, Come on. Whether we can stay at Hakata Amusement Park for two days more counts on you. Please!"
The next day, it was the turn of the Hope Peak Kendo men's team to compet. This time they had female team members as support staff, but they were too embarrassed to let the girls carry big and small bags, so most of these tasks still fell to them. And Kazuya, Yuma and Shin were the three who carried the most.
Yukio explained that he needed to conserve his energy and prepare to show off his prowess today, so he was the only one who carried nothing. He felt good about himself and believed that he was as powerful as Haruna, and he kept chatting with Haruna without giving up, determined to snatch Kazuya's girlfriend.
But he soon offended Haruka and was ridiculed by the depressed little radish. She scolded him all the way, which made him half angry to death. Haruka was definitely a good "Tank". Whether it is a single taunt or a group taunt, she could use it well.
Yuma kept stirring up dissension. He didn't like either Yukio or Haruka. He wished they could fight on the spot. There is probably nothing in the world that makes people more excited than watching two enemies fight each other.
They went to the stadium noisily all the way, preparing to participate in the men's five-round match on the first day. The atmosphere in the stadium was also crowded. Many spectators hoped that the men's game would be as exciting as the women's game, while the media was not so enthusiastic. They felt that the highlights of this Gyokuryuu Competition had passed after a legend was born.
Most people were discussing the "genius kendo girl Haruna Sakura", speculating whether she would consider to become a professional female swordsman in the future or sign a management company to follow the idol route. There were many people who guess she might be an idol because the average female swordsman's income was not very good.
