"No, I want to add a little more fun to the competition. I will try it just this once. I will not treat the competition so casually in the future..." Feimo looked at Mizuno Yoshikazu at the Kagura Hall, "Uncle Yoshikazu has already
I drew one, and I thought you might also want to play this game, so I came here to find you."
"Then let's try to pick one out," Yuantai looked at the song card in Fei Mozhengtai's hand, and took a step forward eagerly, "Can we just pick out one at random?"
"If I let you choose one by one, it will take a lot of time." Fei Mo staggered the song cards with both hands and grabbed the lower corners of the song cards as if holding a thick folding fan. "I will soon pick them up."
I have to prepare. I don’t have much time. You can just draw one.”
Yuantai immediately took out a song card and looked down at the words on the song card.
Fei Mozhengtai asked the other four children to draw singing cards.
Conan and Haibara Ai didn't want to participate in the game at first, but they were urged by the three children and each of them drew a card.
Later, Chi Feichi, Dr. A Li and others were invited by Feimo Zhengtai, and each of them also drew a card. Even Feichi clicked one with the tip of his tail.
After everyone else finished drawing the cards, Fei Mozhengtai put away the set of practice cards, said goodbye and left, heading to Hongye Garden to prepare.
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko thought about visiting the shrine and hurried to the main hall. As soon as they took their five children to complete the shrine ceremony, the singing competition officially started.
The first competition was the E-level competition that Feimo participated in. In the same Japanese-style room in Hongye Garden, eight contestants were wearing kimonos, forming a group of two. They divided the cards on the tatami, laid them out, and began to memorize them.
In the viewing area outside, people watching the game gradually gathered in front of the big screen in front of the hall.
Among the eight contestants in the Japanese room, four are high school students, two are older, almost twenty years old, and one is probably in the second or third grade of junior high school, with a face that is older than the four high school students.
Be a little more immature.
Of course, the youngest one is still Fei Mo.
The broadcast camera captured all four groups of people in the Japanese-style room. Fei Mo was at least a little smaller than the others. However, when the camera took a close-up of each player, Fei Mo's expression when recording cards seemed to be smaller than the others.
Others are more relaxed.
"Xiao Mo is the youngest," Nanatsuki Koshizui looked at the broadcast and sighed in a low voice, "He should be the youngest top eight player in the national competition over the years."
"His opponent is a high school student," Ayumi was a little worried, "There won't be any problems, right?"
Yuantai looked at the stern-looking face of the high school boy and sweated, "I feel like his opponent is very fierce. He looks very difficult to deal with at first glance."
"Facing high school students is not the most troublesome, right? Those two junior high school students can enter the top eight at the junior high school age. Their strength will definitely not be worse than that of high school students. Their talent or game mentality may be better. Those two
Junior high school students may be the most troublesome," Mouri Kogoro analyzed with a casual expression, and sighed, "Children today are really amazing..."
Suzuki Sonoko laughed and teased Mouri Kogoro, "Uncle, according to you, shouldn't Xiao Mo be the most powerful? He has already entered the top eight in elementary school!"
Mouri Kogoro choked for a moment and muttered in a low voice, "That brat must have the strength to enter the quarterfinals, but the strength of his opponent cannot be underestimated..."
"But I think Xiao Mo can definitely win," Mao Lilan said with a smile, "You can tell by looking at their expressions!"
"I also think Xiao Mo can win," Nanatsuki Koshizui looked at the broadcast on the screen and said with a smile, "Just like kendo and karate competitions, they will definitely know some information about their competitors before the competition.
At the beginning of the game, you can know their inner evaluation of their opponents by looking at their reactions. Most of the players' inner evaluations are relatively pertinent, and their accuracy is much higher than those of laypeople..."
"Yes, Xiao Mo's opponent looks very fierce, but you can tell by looking at his facial muscles. He didn't mean to make a bad face, but felt the pressure," Mao Lilan said with a confident smile as she had experience in participating in competitions.
Said, "When people are under pressure and feel nervous, some facial muscles will tighten unconsciously. When we were doing special training for competitions, we specifically talked about this situation..."
As he said that, the smile on Mao Lilan's face disappeared, his eyes became determined, and he made a fist with his right hand and waved, "When you see your opponent reacting like that, you must fight with confidence! Use the posture of believing that you will win, and from the momentum,
Overwhelm your opponent!"
Conan turned his head and looked at Mao Lilan's fist, sweating in his heart.
Xiaolan looks really impressive now.
Maybe the opponent was not nervous at first, but he became nervous when he saw Xiaolan like this.
…
After fifteen minutes of memorizing the card array, the eight contestants stood up and saluted, sat down again, and stared intently at the song cards placed on the tatami.
"The flowers bloom in Namba, but the shy face is closed in the cold winter..."
The singer-reader recited a Japanese song other than "Ogura Hundred Artists" as the prelude. This is also the most commonly used Japanese song in competitions organized by the All-Japan Utaku Association.
The hundreds of waka in the competition have long and short sounds, with a fixed pause of a few seconds in between. Each singer and reader must read the hundred waka in a standard manner. If you recite too many waka, for those other than the hundred waka,
Waka can also be recited with an orderly pause and is full of traditional charm.
Some kata fans also chanted the introductory song excitedly.
"This spring is all over the place..."
"The flowers are blooming and fragrant..."
The three children happily joined in.
"This spring is all over the place..."
"The flowers are blooming and fragrant..."
On the screen, the singer-reader randomly pulled out a piece of reading note and read it in a specific tune, "Ancient Capital..."
A card flew out of Fei Mo's hand, and the crowd watching the broadcast let out uniform exclamations.
The other players were obviously slower than Fei Mo Zhengtai in terms of both shooting speed and card picking speed. The person whose speed was closest to Fei Mo only touched the card with his finger after Fei Mo swept the card out of the competition line.
However, in the live broadcast, the other contestants were not distracted by Fei Mo. Everyone was staring at the song card in front of them.
"...Nara Castle, the fragrance is strong today..."
The singer-reader finished reading the entire previous sentence, paused, and then read the content of the next reading note, "The whole courtyard is full of..."
"It's me..." Bumi was about to say, 'It's the song card I drew,' but as soon as she started speaking, she saw a card swept out of the competition line by Feimo, and she cheered excitedly,
"Got it!"
Genta and Mitsuhiko were also filled with expectations. They stared eagerly at the broadcast screen and whispered the Japanese songs on the song cards they had drawn before.
Chi Feichi looked at the children's reactions and then moved his eyes back to the screen.
Feimo probably wanted to use this move to 'deal with' Mizuno Yoshikazu at the beginning, so that Mizuno Yoshikazu would feel a sense of participation in his own game, and gain happiness or pride from 'successful card acquisition'. This might make him
Mizuno Yoshikazu softened his attitude and no longer opposed Feimo to continue competing.
Later, Feimo thought of adding them.
Everyone is happy together, and the children may want to come to the game tomorrow.
Although Feimo clearly said, "I'll try this only once, I won't treat competitions so casually in the future", indicating that he doesn't want to do such troublesome things in the future, but people will subconsciously get closer to things that make them feel exciting and happy, even that thing
Even if something has made you emotionally turbulent in the past, people will continue to choose to get close to it in the short term, and they will not give up all at once.
The singer-reader looked at the next reading note and read the content above, "Nothing..."
Probably because there were no song cards with similar pronunciation at the beginning, Feimo accurately swept a card out of the competition line after hearing the first two sounds.
In the viewing area next to the main hall, two young men in their twenties stood together, both wearing well-tailored kimonos. One of them was holding a small fan in his hand. The jade used to make the fan bones was shiny and smooth, just like peace.
Two young people who came out of this era.
Mouri Kogoro felt that their images were too retro, so he couldn't help but pay attention to them.
"...When people ask about loneliness, who has pity for a broken heart..."
As the singer-reader chanted, the two people turned their heads and whispered.
"Did you see that? That kid who is still in elementary school... is the one from the Mizuno family... I am not lying to you, am I? His strength is at least C-level. I heard someone from the Chidori Club say before that he defeated C-level
Players, I thought they were joking with me, but I didn’t expect that kid to be really strong..."
"The close-up shot just now didn't capture the song card in front of them clearly, and I didn't see their card formation clearly, but his shooting speed is indeed very fast... I remember you said before that he also won the E-level category in the last competition.
Champion, do you have any video of him playing in the final?"
"I recorded it. If you want to see it, you can go to my place to record it another day. He won the E-level competition too easily. He seems to have a lot of energy left. I can't see his specific level. You don't want to
Be careless, maybe you will meet him in the B-level competition soon."
"Probably not, I'm just a ten-year-old kid, but what you said puts me under a lot of pressure. I don't want to compete with a kid. If I lose, I'll be hurt. If I win, there's nothing to be happy about.
…”
Mouri Kogoro looked back at the broadcast screen and muttered in a low voice, "That kid looks quite powerful."
"sough……"
Behind the crowd, Ooka Momiji stood by the guardrail of the main hall. Hearing the chanting of the singer-reader, his eyes quickly focused on Feimo Shota in the broadcast screen.
"...Floating red leaves, autumn breeze on Sanshi Mountain..."
Iori Muga stood behind Ooka Momiji. She thought she would stand with Ooka Momiji for a while longer. Unexpectedly, Ooka Momiji suddenly walked towards the shrine approach and started to follow him. "Aren't you going to continue watching?"
"Don't look at it, he is hiding his strength." Ooka Hongye looked back at the figure of a hateful child on the screen, and continued to walk out along the shrine with some speechlessness. "The same card, he used it last time.
When he picked up the cards, he was a little faster than this time, but some of the cards took longer than last time. The level he showed was so unstable, which can only mean that he was hiding his true strength. Even if he
The current fastest record, I suspect, may not be his true strength. There were some rumors from the Chidori Club before, saying that his strength may be more than C-level. I think so, he may already be at the B-level level.
, but I’m not sure how he will compare to the average B-level player.”
