Net King: Nioh Phantom

Sure enough, when everyone in the team has a common goal, the team will become particularly cohesive.

Nioh watched with great relief as everyone but his Tanejima-senpai came to a united front.

He was deeply moved by this, so he handed Tanegashima a tennis bag and urged his dear high school senior to get on the road quickly and stay out of the way.

"Taneshima-senpai, hurry up and get in the car."

Nioh said to the high school seniors while handing over the tennis bag.

"…………"

Taneshima Shuji was stunned for a while.

He stared at the tennis bag Nioh handed him, almost seeing the flowers in it.

——After looking at it for a while, he really saw something!

——This tennis bag seems to have a lot of things. There is only one racket in his tennis bag, and there is no tennis ball in it. There is absolutely no way it is so big.

"Nioh, this is not my tennis bag!"

Because everyone carries the same style of tennis bag, so in the eyes of others, it is difficult to distinguish the tennis bags if they are placed in a mess, and it is almost impossible to see the difference.

But in the eyes of the careful Tanejima Shuji, It’s different. Even if it’s just a few centimeters thick, Shuji Taneshima can see the difference if he calms down and observes carefully. Does it turn out that the younger generation still has a conscience?

Shuji Taneshima was very moved at this moment. He thought Nioh was like this The reason for doing this is not to urge him to get in the car, but to give him the steps!

"Oh, I seem to have picked up the wrong one……"

Nioh withdrew his hand.

But in order to find out who the tennis bag he took by mistake belonged to, Nioh opened the tennis bag in front of everyone.

The items contained in a tennis bag are usually of course a tennis racket and one or two tennis balls. There may be other things placed in it, but the tennis racket must be indispensable.

The players on the U17 representative team are all veterans of tennis. Everyone has their own preferences for tennis rackets. Therefore, usually, you can find the real owner of the tennis bag by opening the tennis racket and looking at the model of the tennis racket..

This is generally true.

However, Marui, who was watching Nioh's brisk and natural movement of opening the tennis bag, had a different view on this.

Inspiration flashed through the mind of the red-haired Rikkai player - the tennis bags currently carried by the players of the U17 representative team are uniformly distributed by the coaches, just like uniform team uniforms, excluding large and small models. Visually it looks very neat.

They were about to set off in the car. Except for Tanegashima Shuji, everyone else had their tennis bags on their backs.

The"extra tennis bag" Nioh is holding must have been taken out from the dormitory where Taneshima was last night along with Taneshima's suitcase.

——Then the answer to the question will be obvious

——This tennis bag is most likely Sanada’s!

【It’s definitely Sanada’s! 】

Although Tanegashima-senpai had two roommates yesterday, Marui Bunta didn't consider Akutsujin at all.

Because Nioh had taken out the tennis bag and suitcase, there was no need for Nioh to target Akutsu.

What Marui is now focused on is another question - was Sanada's dormitory key given to Nioh by Yukimura?

The captain of the U17 team has backup keys to each dormitory.

How about Akutsujin, Marui Bunta doesn't know very well. But Genichiro Sanada is such a serious and serious person, Marui, who has been his teammate for three years, still knows him very well.

It is impossible for Sanada to lose his key and then happen to be picked up by Nioh. Although this possibility is possible, it is too low. So the only person who can"help" Nioh easily enter Sanada's dormitory is Yukimura.

Thinking of this, Marui fell completely silent.

He watched quietly as Nioh opened the tennis bag, and then pulled out a wooden knife from the tennis bag!

"ah! It’s the deputy minister’s tennis bag!!"

Kirihara immediately began to identify.

Who can put a wooden knife in his tennis bag? Except for his Deputy Minister Sanada, Kirihara can't think of anyone else who can do this.

"Nioh! what happened!!"

Sanada was also shocked.

Of course he recognized his own wooden sword, but the key to the problem is that he is carrying a tennis bag now!

Could it be that he was too lax and picked up the wrong tennis bag?!

Sanada started Self-doubt arose.

Sanada, who had basic full trust in Nioh, had no doubt that Nioh was causing trouble, because Sanada had great confidence in himself. What Marui thought was"Nioh sneaked into Sanada's dormitory and exchanged words with each other." In Sanada’s opinion, this kind of thing,"I changed my tennis bag for Sanada and Tanejima-senpai", is simply impossible.

"wrong——"

Unlike other players who just guessed or were surprised that Sanada actually had a wooden knife in his tennis bag, although Sanada doubted himself for a few seconds when he first saw his wooden knife, he quickly recalled it and Think it through

"I didn’t even put the wooden knife in my tennis bag! Sanada defended himself.

He finally found the loophole."——

"So lax!"

They had to take a car and then a plane to go to Melbourne.

Although Sanada brought his usual wooden sword to this temporary training camp because of his habit of morning exercise, and also planned to bring the wooden sword to Melbourne, he didn't want to bring it with him. Go on a plane with a wooden knife!

Although it is an unedged wooden knife and does not seem to have much lethality, it is also a"dangerous tool""——

The law-abiding player Genichiro Sanada had no intention of getting on the plane with his wooden sword!!

He originally planned to check it in!

He has already agreed with Yukimura to consign this wooden knife to Melbourne... wait!

Sanada, who wanted to make a fool of himself at Nioh, forced himself to calm down at this moment because of his rationality.

【I gave the knife to Yukimura after my morning exercise……】

How did this sword get into Nioh's hands?

Who put his wooden knife in the tennis bag?

It’s scary to think about it -

Sanada felt the chill in his heart brought by the cold wind in Okinawa, which was as warm as spring.

——He and his sword were"sold" by his little friend and tamer, right?

【Could it be that Yukimura wants to... let Tanejima-senpai be stopped by security!】

【It turns out that Nioh and Yukimura thought so. They were worried that Tanejima-senpai would have problems while flying, so they came up with this method. 】

Although this method seems to Sanada to be on the edge of the rules, theoretically speaking, he should sternly reject it and protest seriously. but——

【Why didn't you tell me in advance?! ]

Sanada thought to himself, he is not such a rigid person!

If Yukimura or Nioh had told him about this"plan" in advance, Sanada felt that although he would persuade the other party to give up at first, he would not cruelly refuse in the end!

——It’s the last step, but Sanada still can’t match Yukimura’s brain circuitry.

——No wonder his little tame always hated him so much.

Ps, Yukimura: This is probably the reason why Ichiro and I can’t be in the same tune~
