Chapter 106 Various JK Girls
Tokyo Budokan is located in Kitanomaru Park, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.
It was originally built to host the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, but later became the so-called "pinnacle of talent."
Although the status of the Budokan is very important both in its current status and in historical significance, in fact the Budokan seems a little less grand due to its "age problem".
At least that's what Sawayama Haruno thought.
“It feels a little smaller than I imagined.”
After entering the inner field, he couldn't help but look around and whispered to Mine Shiori beside him.
This is not just a little small, it is much smaller than I imagined.
Although we already knew that a martial arts hall that could accommodate more than 10,000 people would not be that big, it was only after we actually arrived that we realized how simple it was.
How should I put it? It feels like only after you actually get there will you realize that this place is just like that. Maybe only people who have a special obsession with honor will find this place sacred.
Zeshan Haruno felt that it should at least be expanded to create a venue that could accommodate about 50,000 to 60,000 people?
"Is this still young?"
After hearing what he said, Mine Shiori was obviously a little puzzled.
She explained in a low voice: "Generally speaking, the use period of the martial arts hall is strictly scheduled, and apart from concerts, most events are not open to the public. This area is more than enough."
"All right."
Sawayama Haruno stroked his chin and said with a smile: "If you put it that way, it does seem to make some sense."
"So, where should we go?"
As he spoke, his gaze turned to the center of the field below.
There were already quite a few people gathered there, but it seemed that the competition had not started yet, but rather a session of communication with each other.
Perhaps only the venue in the entire hall seemed lively. There were not many people like him and Mine Shiori, who entered the audience seats through the audience passage after entering the ticket gate.
"Can you find a seat closer to the front?"
Mine Shiori's gaze swept back and forth across the scene more than once, and there was an inexplicable look of longing in the petite girl's pupils.
She pointed to another passage not far away and explained patiently, "There should be quite a few people who haven't left yet, and I haven't seen where Suguha is."
"The people below are from other high schools, right?"
Sawayama Haruno looked around, found a random seat and sat down, then smiled and said, "He doesn't look very old."
This is the truth. Most of the people standing in the center of the venue are young people.
The only surprising thing is that there are quite a few girls.
But it makes sense, as Suguha Ezaki must have participated in a women's kendo competition, and her opponents must have been all kinds of JK girls with superb skills.
It's a pity that the protective gear I wear is too thick. I can't see anything clearly during the competition, Sawayama Haruno thought with some regret.
Mine Shiori sat obediently next to him, not paying much attention to the situation in the venue, but instead took out her cell phone to send a message to Ezaki Suguha.
"It seems that the exchange competition is about to begin."
She whispered, "It is said that the men's team has just finished, so Suguha is preparing in the lounge now."
"Is she nervous?"
Sawayama Haruno asked casually. But Mine Shiori actually typed in and asked the other party, but the answer she got in the end was also very straightforward.
This straightforward girl seems to have no idea what nervousness is, and has already revealed 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 Sawayama Haruno with some apology.
She had received a message from the other party on LINE. Suguha Ezaki hoped that she could go to the lounge now, as if she had something to ask her.
"It's okay, just go ahead."
Sawayama Haruno seemed to be indifferent. He waved his hand and signaled Mine Shiori to come over quickly.
Judging from the situation, the women's exchange competition should start soon. It shouldn't be too boring sitting here, right?
If it doesn't work, just record a video for Miyazawa Maki, or just make a video call to her directly?
Sawayama Haruno leaned back and stared lazily at what was happening in the venue.
Less than ten minutes after Mine Shiori left, the other players on the field gradually withdrew.
A few people even retreated back to the inner audience seats, not far below Sawayama Haruno.
Then a referee wearing a black hat appeared, and neatly dressed kendo girls appeared in the aisles on both sides one after another.
Sawayama Haruno became slightly interested, squinted his eyes and looked over but couldn't see the familiar figure.
——I have no idea which one is Ezaki Suguha.
Instead, it was Mine Shiori who saw her. She was standing at the exit of the passage holding a camera. When she saw Sawayama Haruno looking at her, she smiled awkwardly.
"The ones on the left are the exchange team 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-framed glasses sat down in the row behind Sawayama Haruno at some point.
He leaned forward slightly and explained with interest, "The exchange team in Kanagawa is very strong. Their swordsmanship instructor is said to be a member of the local police department and has won the national kendo championship several times."
"so smart."
Hearing this, Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but take a few more glances at the man in a suit behind him.
He didn't expect that the other party was so clear about the opponent's strength. He really loves kendo.
"Then according to what you said, wouldn't the people in the Tokyo team be in great danger?" Sawayama Haruno said casually, "The champion of the Kendo Championship should be very strong, right?"
"Of course they are strong, but Tokyo isn't bad either."
The man in the suit shrugged and said, "The coach in Tokyo was recruited from Kanagawa. He is the teacher of the other coach's teacher."
"."
I don't know why, but it feels unsurprising.
During the conversation, the contestants entering from the aisle were already lining up in order and preparing to take their seats.
What surprised Sawayama Haruno was that the exchange competition was not held one at a time, but in the form of multiple games at once.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems to be quite reasonable. After all, the venue is so large, and two people competing do not need so much space. The usage time of the martial arts hall is very precious, and semi-public exchange competitions are naturally based on efficiency.
"Here we go, the team in the middle of the field."
The man in the suit suddenly spoke.
