After all, if there is something dirty, it is definitely not a good idea to publicly promote it and make the whole city raging, so the local practitioners in Kyoto must conceal it as much as possible.

But it is more likely that they thought too much before.

It was just a coincidence that the praying mantis's arm was broken, and it was only a short while ago. The disturbance was not very big, and it was not ready to be in the news.

"It seems to be overly nervous..."

Bai Shuiqiu murmured a few words in his heart, and closed the page smoothly.

Since it has been determined that there is nothing wrong, she does not intend to continue to investigate this. Anyway, there is a countermeasure team in Kyoto, and the "Mantis Mountain" itself is managed by Yasaka Shrine, even if there are monsters at work. Specialized personnel can handle it, and it is not her turn to be a witch and high school student from Chiba Prefecture to take care of her affairs.

Except for the Gion Festival, the most content part of the news is about the IH competition...

On some local online media platforms in Kyoto, videos related to the first day of the group match have appeared, which seems to be the highlights of today's more than a dozen groups of trials.

Bai Shuiqiu clicked on one of them, looked down for a while, waited halfway through the progress bar, and discovered his appearance for a few seconds.

"Um... it seems to be pretty good?"

Bai Shuiqiu rubbed his chin and thought.

Although I am not interested in being famous, it is still a little bit fulfilling to be able to see my shots on such a more formal platform.

I probably looked through several videos on the news platform. It was already very late. Considering that there will be a game tomorrow, Bai Shuiqiu cleaned up early and washed up in advance when it came to nine o'clock in the evening and went to bed.

...

The next day, the competition in the stadium continued.

Compared with the previous few days, there has been a little change in today's game.

——Because the school travel team of Narita High School finally arrived in Kyoto this morning.

Bai Shuiqiu probably knew about this matter.

But she didn't know what the middle school's travel plan was like. Originally, she wanted to look for Keiko Kanda to ask when she had time later...

I don’t know who initiated the proposal first. After getting off the bus, these high school students did not go to the booked hotel to rest as originally planned. Instead, they formed a group directly to the Shimadzu Stadium, entered the venue through the ticket, and sat in the stadium together. On the side of the auditorium.

The school trip is based on grades. This time, most of the students who came to Kyoto in the entire first grade looked like two hundred students.

With so many people sitting together, they still look very eye-catching.

Moreover, a few students took out banners from their backpacks and opened them in the stands. The words "Narita High School", "Bai Shui Qiu", and "Come on" were written on them.

When noticing the scene over there, Bai Shuiqiu couldn't help but glanced around.

I saw a few familiar figures waving their hands towards the rest area, shouting with excitement to cheer.

"Hey, are there people from our school over there? Why are you calling Xiaoqiu your name... Well, I seem to have seen Keiko and the others, as well as Asuka and the monitor?"

Hashimoto China put a hand on his forehead, recognized it carefully, and turned his head and said.

"..."

Bai Shuiqiu opened his mouth, a little wondering what to say.

It was also at this time that the mobile phone she had put in her pocket suddenly buzzed and quivered a few times, and when she took it out, it was a message from Keiko Kamidai:

"Eiko: I'm sorry, Qiujiang, I wanted to tell you in advance, but the monitor said they wanted to surprise you, so after we came to Kyoto today, we came directly from the place where we got off... this kind of thing, It shouldn't cause any psychological pressure on you, right?"

"Autumn: That's not the case, by the way... When did you buy the tickets?"

Although Bai Shuiqiu was a little surprised by the arrival of Keiko Kashiro and others, it was just that.

And what really puzzled her was where these guys got the stadium tickets...

Shimadzu Stadium has become a popular attraction in the Kansai area as early as half a month ago because it will host the IH competition. Most of the tickets have been booked a few days or even more than a dozen days in advance. If you only grab a dozen or twenty The tickets are fairly normal, but more than two hundred people have got the tickets, which is a bit weird.

Not to mention, a huge part of these tickets are all next to each other.

The cost of so many tickets should be a considerable expense, right?

"Keiko: Actually, on the day of your departure, we had already ordered tickets for the stadium through the Internet. The IH competition is a major event for the school, and everyone spontaneously came to support you...men, to help you cheer. As for the price of the tickets, In fact, it didn't cost much, and the school will also be reimbursed."

This reply was followed by a smiley face.

"Yes……"

This kind of thing is actually very common.

If it is the kind of rich private school, it will even directly cover all the expenses of the students for food, clothing, and housing, and let them go to the IH competition site to serve as a support team. Narita High School belongs to the kind of public school that is not too rich. So wealthy, but reimbursing part of the ticket money for the support game is not a difficult thing.

Even in a sense, the school encourages this behavior.

Now that Keiko said so, Bai Shuiqiu didn't ask any more questions.

The two briefly chatted again.

Considering that the game is still going on, the rest area where Bai Shuiqiu is located will be noticed by cameras in the stadium from time to time, so she can’t always play with her mobile phone. After clarifying the current situation, Keiko Kashiro was the first to interrupt. Topic, let her prepare for war with peace of mind.

After putting the phone back away, Bai Shuiqiu took out the booklet about the formation from his arms and looked down.

...

"Student Baishui is really serious."

In the auditorium.

The squad leader of Class B of the first year said with admiration: "Unexpectedly, classmate Bai Shui even recorded his experience in the archery practice with pen and paper. I did not forget to take it out before the game and review it. No wonder Such excellent results were achieved in the county competition."

"Yes, this is the so-called effort to get rewards."

"What do you think Baishui can achieve this time? The first place in the trial of Chiba Prefecture, how can you say that you should be able to advance to the quarterfinals of the national competition..."

"No, I think I can at least break into the semi-finals. I heard from the older brother of the archery club that Baishui's archery level is no less than that of the third grade sister Kurimi, who was the third runner-up in the country last year. Baishui should also Isn't it too much difference?"

All of a sudden, the students of Narita High School talked and talked about everything.

Compared to other people who were noisy and yelling, Keiko Kamishiro's performance was rather calm, just sitting on the side of the stand with his cheeks supported, his eyes fixed on someone in the rest area, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Another quieter performance is Hyuga Asuka.

However, the girl was still quite nervous inside, but she didn't say it directly. At this time, she was holding the hem of the dress with her hands. In my heart silently shouting words of cheering and cheering.

Two hours passed in a hurry.

Finally, it was Bai Shuiqiu's turn.

Bai Shuiqiu put away the "Notes on Archery Practice", finally sorted out his clothes and prepared to enter the venue.

When she came out of the aisle, the support team from Narita High School suddenly raised her voice. The voices of more than 200 people were mixed together, and the decibels were still high, so it quickly attracted some people's attention. Some well-informed people have checked Bai Shuiqiu's information through the Internet.

After confirming that she was the first place in the preliminaries of Chiba Prefecture, these guys became more mindful and put the name "Bai Shui Qiu" on their watch list.

Naturally, Bai Shuiqiu himself was unaware of these things.

Facing the kindness from her school, she just smiled, nodded to the audience, and walked to the archery range.

Compared with the previous round, among the opponents in the same group as Bai Shuiqiu this time, a strong player appeared. It is said that he was in the quarter-finals last year and he performed quite well in the competition.

However, in Bai Shuiqiu's view, no matter whether it is the top eight or the top sixteen, it is no different from everyone else.

In the face of strong opponents, she still maintained a 100% shooting rate and successfully got the promotion to the next round.

And this time the group match successfully allowed Bai Shuiqiu to enter the field of vision of some local media as a "dark horse".

Mime private 490

At this time last year, Kurimi Sanae also shined on the court, and was once considered a favorable candidate for the championship.

It's a pity that in the final finals, he lost to the even better Ryu Yuan Mika.

And now, just a year later, Bai Shuiqiu, also from Narita High School, has once again demonstrated a level of archery that far surpasses his peers. A series of performances from the prefectural competition to the present are almost the same as last year's Kurimi Sanae. The turnover rate is almost the same. It is always maintained at the zero position, which is terribly low.

Although the group stage has just reached the second round, from the current results, Bai Shuiqiu has reached the quarterfinals without any suspense.

It is even possible to compete with defending champion Ryu Yuan Mika in the final finals.

This situation is a bit fanciful.

Could it be...

This first-time newcomer is a secret weapon that Narita High School has spent a year to cultivate carefully. Want to make a shame on the court for his senior?

A revenge battle between the [Narita High School Supernova] who has inherited the will of the predecessors and the impeccable [Ritsumeikan High School Hexagon Warrior]?

Although it sounds a bit second, but this type of nickname is not uncommon in sports reports.

And the drama of revenge of the beautiful girl, which is mixed with revenge, friendship, strength, and inheritance, can easily attract the attention of outsiders.

Going a step further, you can also try to dig out the information of Narita High School's Kyudo Division...

Kurimi Sanae also has at least one prestigious father, Kurimi Linshen, who can make it to the finals. But Bai Shuiqiu is an unknown newcomer, and he doesn’t have any relevant game experience in his resume. It is hard not to make people curious to be able to show the strength of the crushing class on the field.

The instructor who can train such two seeded players should also be a very powerful person, right?

Some active reporters have already started to write up articles, ready to make a fuss in this regard.

If Bai Shuiqiu can really make it to the finals as a dark horse, then the media that first reported on her will undoubtedly attract the most traffic...

As the person involved, Bai Shuiqiu bowed slightly to the audience after the end of the group stage, and then turned back to the rest area amidst applause. First, he took off the chest protector and the deerskin gloves of the archery suit, and then he brushed his sweaty hair, and fanned himself with the palm of his hand as a fan.

In the midsummer season of July, the temperature is not low.

Even if the gymnasium is indoors and the air conditioner has been turned on to its maximum power, it is easy to feel hot when so many people gather together.

After the impetuous feeling faded, Bai Shuiqiu turned out the phone and saw the message from Keiko Kashiro.

In the news, the girl congratulated her just now.

In addition, I took a short video and sent it along with it.

Bai Shuiqiu smiled, replied a little embarrassedly, and asked about the school trip plan by the way.

Teacher Tianzhu has already talked about this in the class meeting.

Honganji Temple, Kiyomizu Temple, Kyoto Imperial Palace, Nijo Castle...

These few classics with strong historical and cultural atmosphere are necessary for almost every school trip, especially Hongan Temple. The story about Oda Nobunaga, Akechi Mitsuhide and others can be said to be the most important article in the ancient history of Toei. Since I came to Kyoto, I must take the opportunity of traveling to review it.

As for the Kyoto Imperial Palace and Nijo Castle, one is the imperial palace of the past dynasties, and the other witnessed the rise and fall of the Tokugawa shogunate. They are also the focus of school trips.

As for the others, it's not necessarily true.

Because this season is the peak tourist season in Kyoto, some attractions may not be able to buy tickets, so there is no way to make a plan of action in advance.

In addition, there are too many temples and shrines in Kyoto. Quite a few of them were built during the Heian period. They contain rich historical and cultural heritage. Even if you stay for a week, you cannot transfer them all. You can only choose Part of it for excursions.

Therefore, the action plan of each class is different, depending on the specific situation.

"Keiko: Will Qiujiang be with us then, if the game is not busy and there is time?"

"Autumn: Well, it's okay... So where do you live?"

"Keiko: Well, I heard from Teacher Tianzhu that it is a hotel in Sijo, not far from the subway station, and it is convenient to travel in all directions."

"Four..."

Bai Shuiqiu frowned slightly.

This subway station is actually somewhere in the middle of the "Shitiaotong".

Shijo-dori is a main road in Kyoto, traversing the entire city center from east to west. The east end is the Yasaka Shrine dedicated to Susanoo, and the west end is the Matsuo Shrine dedicated to the **** of Bacchus.

——By the way, the Qin clan in charge of the Matsuo Taisha is said to have something to do with the Qin people in China. It was established by a group of people who lived in exile after the fall of the Qin Dynasty, but after nearly two thousand years of time change, it has been said I don't know the origin, and even if these Dongying Qin clan are really descendants of Qin Shihuang, it doesn't matter until now. If you are not a historian, you don't need to get to the bottom of it.

Compared to these confusing ancient history...

What makes Shirasuiqiu even more concerned is that the Gion Festival is held along the route of Shijo-dori.

And the west cave courtyard where "Mantis Mountain" is located is also in this area.

In this way, Bai Shuiqiu felt a little worried about the broken arm of the praying mantis that the old monster had said before.

If something is really causing trouble, then that thing probably hasn't left the Shijo area. If it is encountered by Keiko Kandaro and others, it will be a very troublesome thing...

"Autumn: After a while, I will go to the hostel with you and have a look."

"Keiko: Okay~"

After discussing it properly, Bai Shuiqiu put down the phone and thought silently in his heart.

After an hour or two.

Today's game finally ended. Players from various schools and spectators in the audience stood up and left. Bai Shuiqiu greeted Ogata and the others, then walked around from the rest area to the side of the auditorium, and met with Keiko Kandaro and others in a corner of the gymnasium.
