Yui Doma glanced at Hayama Kazuto and said, "Umi-chan knows."
After saying that, he ran back to the room.
Chapter 819 Messenger... Save Me
Golden Sunday, Toyosaki Stadium.
In last week's Ryuo tournament, Kazuto Yuyama advanced to the next round with a score of 2-0, but in the other half of the group, the two players fought to a 1-1 tie, so they have to fight again in the first round of the elimination match this week.
As a result, Yushan Kazuto was able to take some time off and continued training on the court on Friday afternoon.
"The weather is still a bit cold." Toyosaki No. 11 shook his jersey and trotted to the edge of the court.
"It's much better than last week. I think the games will be able to proceed normally starting next week." said No. 5 Fengzhizaki standing on the sidelines.
"I heard that the competition system has been changed this time. The Kanto region will first compete to decide the champion, and then have a final battle with the other regions." Fengzhizaki No. 11 continued.
“It may be because the original event was cancelled, so the team should try to avoid traveling too far.”
Originally, all the teams participating in the national competition would gather in Tokyo during the winter vacation for intensive competition.
However, this winter vacation was too cold and the weather was not suitable for playing the games. After the cancellation, in order to avoid long journeys for most teams, most of the games were held nearby.
"We have Yushan anyway, so what are you worried about?" Toyonosaki No. 9 came over. He was also paying close attention to the national competition, but the more he paid attention to other teams, the more he could find out how different Yushan and others were.
"Beep beep."
Suddenly, several people heard a cell phone ringing.
"Your cell phone is ringing?"
"That's not my ringtone."
"The sound of the cell phone seems to come from over there!"
"Isn't that Yushan's phone?"
Several people shook their heads and turned to Yushan and others: "Yushan, your phone is ringing!"
"Oh! I get it!" Yushan Kazuto was juggling the ball. After hearing the shouts of several people, he juggled the ball a little higher, took a small step back, and made a chic lob shot, and the ball went straight into the far corner of the goal.
"Who's calling?" Yushan and others ran over.
"I'm not sure, I didn't see it." Fengzhizaki No. 11 said.
Yushan Kazuto picked up the phone and the caller was from an unfamiliar number. Yushan Kazuto was very sure that he had never seen this number before.
[Is it some kind of sales pitch? ]
Yushan Heren blinked and decided to answer the phone, but there was silence on the other end of the line, without a single sound.
"Hello?" Yushan Heren couldn't help but ask.
"Messenger...Messenger, is that you?" The voice on the other end of the phone was Rikka Takanashi's. She sounded a little helpless, yet a little surprised, as if she had found the first ray of light in the endless darkness.
"It's me? Rikka, what's wrong with you? How are you doing after returning to your hometown?" asked Yushan Kazuto.
"Messenger...save me, I don't want to stay any longer..."
“Bang, clang!”
There was a noise coming from the cell phone, and I could tell it was the sound of someone angrily hanging up the phone and slamming the receiver onto the host.
The voice was a little harsh, and Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink, and then there was a busy tone.
Yushan Kazuto called back, but the call was hung up less than a second after it was connected. It could be felt that the phone was no longer in Rikka Takanashi's hands.
[Could it be that... after Rikka returned to her hometown...]
Yushan Heren gritted his teeth and put away his phone: "Sorry, please tell the minister for me, I have something to do and I have to leave early."
"It's okay, it's okay. We will help you explain it to the dean."
Last semester, due to taking care of Shirasaki Hana, Hayama Kazuto rarely participated in training, but he was still unstoppable during competitions.
This semester, Yushan Kazuto has a slightly lighter burden and is more active in training.
No one would blame him if he left early occasionally, after all, today was originally for extra training.
……
"Scumbag senior, why did you come back so early today?" Seeing Yushan and others open the door, Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but be a little surprised.
As soon as she entered the door, Yushan Kazuto had already arrived home.
"Rikka called me." Yushan Kazuto said.
"Rikka, Rikka called you? Why didn't she call me?" Doma Mai suddenly felt that it was a little unfair. Rikka Takanashi didn't even call her!
"Let's not talk about all that for now. Tell me first, that day you and Sanae went to see Touka-sister and asked about Rikka's situation. Are there any details you haven't told me?" asked Yushan Kazuto.
"Details? I don't think there are any." Domama Mai thought about it seriously, but couldn't think of anything.
"Think about it carefully again." Yushan Heren said.
"What's wrong? Rikka called you. Did she say anything?" Domama Mai asked, but her mind was thinking about what happened in Vittorio's cabin that day.
"Oh, I remember now. When Touka-sister said that Rikka's grandfather was very strict, her eyes blinked a little." said Domama.
"Blink?"
Blinking actually represents many psychological reactions. You may blink when you feel guilty, when you feel embarrassed, or when you are thinking. Of course, these are all based on the assumption that blinking is unnatural.
Touka Takanashi said that her grandfather was very strict, but in fact it was more than that. In addition to being strict, he was also very old-fashioned and a typical patriarch.
"There are several possibilities, but it is certain that Liuhua's situation is not very good now." Yushan Heren breathed a sigh of relief and said
.
"This... didn't you know this before?" Domama asked, "Did Rikka say anything to you over the phone?"
"She told me to save her." Yushan Kazuto looked at Doma Mai, "and before she could finish her words, her grandfather hung up."
"How can this be possible!" Domama clenched her fists, "Let's go to Fukui quickly!"
"Don't be anxious." Yushan Heren said.
"This...how can I not be anxious? Rikka, Rikka wants you to help her!" Domame lowered her head.
Originally, Yushan Kazuto didn't want to get involved in Rikka Takanashi's family affairs. In his opinion, these were private matters, but given the current situation, he had no choice but to ignore them.
"You're leaving without saying anything. Do you know where Rikka's hometown is? Who will take care of Sagiri? What will happen to Xiaoxue in the next few days?" Yushan Kazuto asked back.
Tsuchiya blinked and admitted that she was so overwhelmed by her emotions that she didn't consider all of this.
If we just rush to Fukui without any preparation, we might just end up running around like a headless fly and not even be able to find Kotori Yujia.
"The most urgent thing is to find Sister Touka and ask her for the specific address of her hometown, and also find someone to take care of Sagiri and Koyuki." Yushan Kazuto said.
In fact, Doma Mai is the best candidate, and Touma Sanae is also good. She has a good relationship with Izumi Sagiri, but judging from their situations, they should both go to Fukui.
Chapter 820: Touka Kotori's stance
[Should we ask Xiaohui to help, or should we ask Yukinoshita to take care of it for a while? 】
On the way to Touka Apartment in Kotori, Yushan Kazuto was still a little conflicted.
Asking Kato Megumi for help would be the most appropriate thing to do. After all, Kato Megumi lives very close to you and knows how to take care of people.
But Yukinoshita Yukino is coming to see Xiaoxue tomorrow, and in order not to trouble two people, Yushan Kazuto thinks it would be easier to let Yukinoshita Yukino take care of the child.
"Hey, Umaru-chan, do you think it would be better for me to ask Kei to help take care of the house, or should I ask Yukinoshita to help take care of the house?" asked Kazuto Hayama.
"Ah? This question?" Domama blinked.
"I think it would be better to ask Yukinoshita-senpai for help."
After thinking for a while, Tujian buried the road.
"Huh? Why?" asked Yushan Kazuto.
"Isn't Senior Yukinoshita going to visit Koyuki tomorrow? According to the plan, if things go well, we will be back tomorrow night, so there will be no need to trouble Senior Kei." said Doma.
Yushan Kazuto blinked, as if that made sense, and nodded.
Doma Mai felt a little guilty. She would never say that she chose Yukinoshita Yukino because she had a better relationship with her.
Although it seems that Tsuchima Mai and Yukinoshita Yukino are not close, she has an alt! Xiao Kun has received a lot of care from Yukinoshita Yukino, so it is normal for her to be slightly inclined towards Yukinoshita Yukino.
……
The car stopped downstairs of Touka Takanari's apartment building. Touka Takanari's car had not left yet. At this time, she had not gone to work yet.
Vittorio's Cottage mainly serves dinner and main meals, and Touka Kotori usually drives to the restaurant at 4:30 to 5:00.
Hayama Kazuto took a deep breath and called Touka Takanashi.
But he heard from Doma Mai that Touka Kotori had rejected all calls from her and Touma Sanae, so if he called himself, he might be rejected.
If he refused, he would have to force his way upstairs.
The phone rang twice and then was picked up. Yushan Kazuto looked at Tsuchima Mei with some confusion. She said that she had made dozens of calls to Touma Sanae, but no one answered.
Doma Yui still doesn't know that the reason why Touka Takanashi refused to answer the phone was not because she didn't want to communicate with them, but because she didn't save her phone number!
"Kazuto?" Tohka Takanashi felt a little strange.
"Sister Shihua." Yushan Heren was also a little surprised. Just now he was a little worried whether the other party would answer the phone!
"Is there something?" Tohka Takanashi was still so frugal with her words.
"I would like to ask, where is Rikka's hometown in Fukui?" asked Yushan Kazuto.
"Mihama-cho, Mikata-gun..." Tohka Takanashi said a long list of place names, even down to the precise house numbers.
Yushan Kazuto blinked. He didn't expect that he could get Rikka Takanashi's address so easily. As for this address, he believed that Touka Takanashi did not lie to him. Touka Takanashi was not the kind of person who would lie.
If he had known it was so easy to get the address, he wouldn't have bothered making any preparations. He could have just made a phone call at home and been done with it.
"Sister Touka, aren't you curious why I asked for the address of Rika's hometown?" Yushan Kazuto asked back.
"Then... why are you asking?" asked Tohka Takanashi.
Yushan Heren grinned and said, "Wow, you even shortened my sentence. Is it so difficult to say a few more words?"
"To be honest, Rikka called me for help. I could tell she must be having some pain during her time at home. I plan to go to Fukui and bring her back to Tokyo."
Touka Takanashi is an honest person, and Kazuto Hayama is too lazy to hide anything from her.
"Calling you?"
Yushan Kazuto felt a little strange as to why both Doma Yui and Takanashi Touka liked to pay attention to some strange places.
In fact, it was an accident that Rikka Takanashi called Kazuto Hayama, but it was also inevitable. Her mobile phone was confiscated, and there was no other way to save phone numbers. In her mind, only Kazuto Hayama's number was the clearest and easiest to remember.
So I called Yushan Kazuto.
"Sister Touka, do you have anything to say?" asked Kazuto Yuyama. He wanted to hear what Touka Takanashi thought.
Although he had already made up his mind whether Touka Takanashi agreed with him or not, he still wanted to hear Touka Takanashi's opinion.
"I can't take a leave and can't go back." said Tohka Takanashi.
Hearing this, Yushan Kazuto was surprised at first, and then he smiled. It seems that Touka Takanashi actually does not agree with letting Rikka Takanashi stay in her hometown.
"Don't worry, I will bring Rikka back safely." Yushan Heren said.
"Ah."
……
Back in the car, Doma Mai looked at Yushan Kazuto and said, "Scumbag senior, what did you talk about with Touka-san? Why did you talk so much?"
"I got the address. I also asked Sister Touka what she thought. She shouldn't object to us taking Rikka back to Tokyo." Yushan Kazuto said.
"You don't object?" Domama blinked. "Then why didn't she bring Rikka back to Tokyo before?"
"I'm not sure. Maybe she has her own difficulties." Yushan Heren said.
In fact, Touka Takanashi was also struggling at first. She felt that keeping Rikka Takanashi at home would be of some help to her future.
Besides, grandparents are old and don’t need
At work, she should be able to take more comprehensive care of Rikka Takanashi, unlike Touka Takanashi herself, who has to work late every day and it is difficult for her to take care of Rikka Takanashi in every aspect.
