The schedule of the national competition is still the same as before. As the national champion, Li Hai Da has absolute geographical and psychological advantages.

He also won the first few games easily.

In the blink of an eye, we came to the top four opponents.

Tatekai Dai in Kanagawa, Shitenhoji Temple in Kansai, Shishi Raku in Kyushu, and Hyotei in Kanto.

The four schools will be divided into two groups to compete in the upcoming semi-finals.

After the previous rounds of duels, Niou is now in a much calmer mood. It's his racket——

"How many rackets are you planning to break this year?" Marui asked angrily.

This guy's first few games were like crazy. He flipped his hair, and with me and without him, he was a brutal bunch.

But this guy's ferocity was also restrained. Every move he made was to play with the fox in the world, beating his opponent round and round without even noticing that he was lying. He was so angry that he kept hitting him with the ball - and the racket suffered as a result!

"Pfft~ You won't do this next time. Are these schools so easy to fool?" Nioh chuckled.

The opponents in the previous rounds all had the word "weak". So it's easy to deal with, but this time, no matter who you meet, it's not easy to deal with.

"Seniors, the results of the lottery are out."

Kirihara ran over excitedly and announced the final result, "Our final opponent is - the Shitenhoji Temple in Kansai!"

This is also a prestigious and powerful tennis school, and Kirihara is particularly looking forward to it.

"When is the game?"

"Starting at eight o'clock tomorrow morning—" Sanada followed Kirihara back calmly. "Now get ready to go back to your B&B to rest!"

Niou packed up his luggage as everyone else, and walked out with the big guys. He calmly passed by a cheerful and cheerful young man, and then turned a blind eye to the bouncing little boy.

Finally, when he saw a half-skinned man in sportswear with an expressionless face, Nioh couldn't stand it anymore.

"Can you guys please stop following me? I'm just here to compete, not to go to the execution ground!"

He was at the end, speaking in a low voice to the people around him.

Ding dong, the phone rang, and the text message appeared.

[Lord, we just want to protect you! ——Smiling Mutsu Moriyuki. 】

Nioh: "..."

I don't really want such protection, thank you.

"Yukimura, can I make a call?" As they happened to be at the door of the B&B, Niou made an excuse.

"Well! Be careful!"

There is nothing unusual about making phone calls outside the door. After all, some calls are quite urgent.

Nioh watched everyone go in, and walked to the corner with his mobile phone, "You guys, come out..."

Mutsu Moriyoshi smiled and stuck his head out, "My lord, did you miss me?"

Behind the smiling one was a little brilliant one and an expressionless one.

"Dota Kanmasakuni, Hotaru, why are you two here?" Nioh looked down at Hotamaru, who was dressed in military green clothes, and sighed.

What a terrible combination is this? Two fighting swords plus an Odachi sword. Are you planning to launch an attack from here?

"Everyone said that my master has been too busy playing games recently and easily ignores the dangers around him, so he asked us to come and follow him."

In the past, their protection range was only in Kanagawa. This was my first time coming to Tokyo. This place is really big.

"Is this the world that Honnosuke has seen all day? It's so fresh!" Mutsu Moriyoshi, who is the most receptive to new things, almost blinked his eyes.

"Horumaru is extremely envious of Konosuke——"

The child put his hands on his chin and looked envious.

"What danger could I be in Tokyo?"

Niou held his forehead speechlessly. The last few times he came to Tokyo, he had never seen these guys following behind him secretly.

If you want to come out and play, just say so, no excuses.

"No way, we follow every time, but this time we were too close and you discovered it..."

Yingwan happily accepted the previous secrets.

Nioh opened his mouth and opened his well-maintained white teeth: "...What did you say?"

"Uh..." Mutsu Moriyuki quickly covered Hotaru's mouth, "He meant that we wanted to come a few times before... but we were stopped by others!"

This compensation is ideal, but it is a pity that Nioh is not blind, his ears are not ringing, and his heart is not deaf. "Haha, I'm afraid you were accompanied by a small dagger the first few times!"

The maneuverability and vigilance of the small dagger are higher than those of the large dachi and the tachi. With the dagger around, it will be more stealthy and less likely to be noticed.

And this time...

Two of the three people are very adventurous, one is a swordsman and the other is an Odachi swordsman. The last one had an expressionless face, but held his neck as firmly as ever.

Who came up with this combination——

and many more!

Most people wouldn't match up like this. Even if Hasebe wanted to follow him because he had protection, he wouldn't send these three people who couldn't hide.

"You three are really following me here secretly, right?"

Niou's eyes were full of suspicion.

The three of them, who were originally smiling calmly, looked at the sky, the earth, left and right, and the scenery, but not at Niou.

"Pfft~" He has been so busy and so nice lately, what has become of Honmaru's discipline.

"I'm sorry, my lord..." Hotaru, who was pushed out, looked at him with tears in his eyes, "You have been quite anxious during this period and are very serious every day, so we are worried about you!"

Each of Honmaru's swords can feel that something is not right about Nioh's recent state. The original tracking trip to Tokyo was indeed accompanied by a dagger every time.

In addition, there is no fighting in reality, and there is no need for Nioh to deliberately summon and pay attention. That’s why Niou failed to notice.

This time——

"We are very worried about you, so after everyone discussed it, we decided to send three more powerful people out!"

Hotaru is a powerful Odachi, and despite his small stature, he can confuse the enemy's mind the most.

Once someone looks down on you and kills you with a knife, it will be easy.

Mutsu Moriyoshi is a sword that only appeared in the past few hundred years, and his adaptability is the strongest among swords.

As for Dota Kanmasakuni, he stood out due to his excellent force value from training all day long.

This face is very fierce at first glance, no one dares to mess with it——

"You have thought a lot about it!"

Niou was both relieved and speechless. Fortunately, he had complained before, but none of Honmaru's swords noticed his a little angry heart.

The result - not only noticed it, but also started to protect him secretly, and protected his original self-esteem, not daring to take the initiative to ask him!

Phew~ Even though I’m a little angry, this feeling of being cared for and cared for by someone is really...

Nioh pursed his lips and flicked his fingers on the foreheads of the three of them.

bang bang bang-

After three crisp blows.

He said, "This is punishment——"

""Now! "

"I forgive you!"

Who can be truly angry at a cute sword?
