#228 - Angel
Upon learning that it was the German team, he had already tried to contact some of the German players.
Facts proved that this was impossible.
Negotiating with ordinary German players was useless.
And contact with official German team members was forbidden, especially before the start of the competition.
So, Kitajima Ikuto could only negotiate on the court.
Everything he had done just now was an effort to ensure successful negotiations in the latter half of the match.
Moreover, there were many ways to negotiate.
And no one stipulated that you could only negotiate with opponents.
It could also be teammates!
That's right!
This time, Kitajima Ikuto conducted a three-way negotiation.
The negotiation with Kirihara Akaya went very smoothly.
Kitajima Ikuto's negotiation condition was to have Kirihara Akaya and Byodoin Houou form a doubles team once.
And what Kirihara Akaya had to do in this match was to obey completely.
On the court.
After receiving Kitajima Ikuto's instructions.
Kirihara Akaya's hair gradually turned white, his pupils turned light green, and the skin all over his body began to turn white.
This is!
Angelification!
"That guy from the Neon team's hair turned white!!?"
"His eyes have changed too!"
"No matter what he turns into, he's no match for the German team!"
Inoue Mamoru said in shock.
"Senior? What is angelification?"
Shiba Saori asked in confusion.
"Well, you should have seen Kirihara Akaya's previous demonification, right."
Inoue Mamoru looked at Shiba Saori and said, "Demonification will make Kirihara very irritable, but angelification will not have this situation, and it will also improve the feeling of playing tennis."
"So, Kirihara is very powerful now?"
Shiba Saori asked with a smile on her face.
"Yes."
"Then the Neon team will definitely win this game!"
Shiba Saori asked with a more excited expression on her face.
"No, it's not certain yet, we can only know by continuing to watch."
Inoue Mamoru shook his head, and then the two continued to watch the game.
This was, after all, a world-class competition, and the opponent was the German team.
No one knew what the result of this game would be.
In the Neon team.
"It seems Kitajima also negotiated with Kirihara."
Irie Kanata smiled lightly and said, "No wonder Kirihara has been so obedient since just now."
"But what is the condition for Kirihara to be able to negotiate?"
Mitsuya Akuto paused for a moment and said, "If it is to win the game, this is a meaningless negotiation, and the effect of the negotiation will be greatly reduced."
"Kitajima-senpai's negotiation condition should be that Kirihara and Byodoin form a doubles team once."
"And Kirihara has to listen to Kitajima-senpai's instructions throughout this game."
Yukimura smiled faintly.
Instantly.
Everyone was stunned.
They had indeed heard Kirihara Akaya mention this before.
But that was when everyone was chatting in the car.
No one thought it was true.
After all, Byodoin Houou's personality made it difficult to form a doubles team with others.
At this time, the first team and others were still a little unsure.
"Yukimura, how did you know?"
Duke Watanabe asked with a squinting smile.
Everyone was curious about this question and looked at Yukimura together.
"Because when Irie-senpai said the negotiation conditions, Byodoin-senpai's expression changed a little."
Yukimura smiled slightly.
Hearing this, everyone's faces changed.
What kind of observation is this?
Yukimura was able to make a judgment based on this kind of thing when it was impossible for anyone to notice such a subtle detail.
Instantly, everyone looked at Byodoin Houou.
Byodoin Houou just nodded.
"So, even you, Byodoin, negotiated with Kitajima?"
Irie Kanata asked a little curiously.
"Byodoin Houou should not have retained the negotiation conditions."
Oni Jujiro helped him answer this question when he saw Byodoin Houou's silence.
At this time.
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
It turned out that Kitajima Ikuto needed so many negotiations before each game.
How did he sort out such a complicated relationship?
When he couldn't negotiate with his opponents, he would also try to do other negotiations.
This is the negotiator on the court.
Sure enough, only Yukimura could discover this kind of thing.
On the court.
Bismarck and Siegfried were stunned when they saw Kirihara Akaya's angelification.
"Siegfried, be careful, I don't know what else they will do."
Bismarck's tone was cautious.
"It's just a change in hair color, what's the big deal?"
Siegfried tossed the tennis ball in his hand and said, "Anyway, they still can't win!"
After saying that, Siegfried aimed at the tennis ball and swung it hard!
Bang! The tennis ball generated a powerful explosive force the moment it touched the racket, flying out like a sharp blade.
Kirihara Akaya's figure appeared as an afterimage, and the next moment he appeared at the hitting point.
The moment the tennis ball bounced, he backhanded it back.
Bang! The sound of the racket and tennis ball colliding came, flying towards the opponent's court like an arrow leaving the string.
"See! Senpai, his tennis is still so trash!"
After Siegfried said that, he ran towards the landing point and hit the tennis ball back.
"Anyway, don't be careless."
Bismarck said in a deep voice.
When the tennis ball went back to the baseline.
Kirihara Akaya flashed, stood at the hitting point, jumped up, and smashed the tennis ball!
"Kitajima-senpai! I saw the crack you mentioned!"
Bang! The tennis ball flew rapidly to the opponent's court like a shooting star at this moment.
Bismarck and Siegfried seemed to be blocked on both sides by an invisible crack.
And the tennis ball pointed directly at the crack, making it impossible for Siegfried and Bismarck to touch the tennis ball.
Then, the tennis ball smashed to the ground and flew out of the court!
"40:15!"
The referee announced.
After that.
With Kirihara Akaya's angelified state, he scored again.
"Game, Neon team, score 1:0!"
"Game, Neon team, score 2:0!"
"Game, Neon team, score 3:0!"
"That king German team was actually beaten like this?!"
"No way, the German team can't beat the Neon team?!"
"What's wrong with the German team?"
In just fifteen minutes, the score was instantly widened.
And no matter how hard Bismarck and Siegfried tried to swing their rackets and catch the ball.
They always felt that there was an invisible crack on the court that separated them.
And the tennis court of Kirihara Akaya and Kitajima Ikuto seemed to be only half the size.
Two people stood in half a court, and any ball would be returned.
At this moment.
Siegfried's first time participating in the competition and his emotional state made him dripping with sweat and panting.
Even Bismarck could receive all the balls.
But doubles is not a one-person game.
All the rhythm was in Kitajima Ikuto's hands.
