Starting Line

Time flies by so fast.
In no time at all, the day of the Pro-hopple Japan tournament arrived.
The venue for the tournament was set up in Shibuya, where Lugh’s headquarters is located.
“Whew!”
I let out a big breath.
No matter how many times I have experienced the tension of a tournament, I never get used to it.
“Are you nervous, brother?”
I was in the washroom, doing my hair, when Yuzuki called out to me from behind.
“Did you notice?”
“I’m your sister. You’ve been so nervous ever since you woke up today.”
Certainly, I feel like I’ve been out of my mind since breakfast today.
“No matter how many times you go to a competition, it’s always nerve-wracking.”
The expectations placed on me are different from the norm.
I had already won the world championship once, so the pressure was on.
“I’m sure my brother will be fine! Go with confidence.”
Yuzuki gives me the same smile she always does.
I felt a little more at ease seeing her smile.
“Thank you.”
I said as I patted Yuzuki on the head.
“I can’t make it to the tournament, but I’ll be watching the streaming and cheering you on!”
“I’ll do my best.”
After I finished all the preparations, I left the house.
“I’m off.”
“Have a good day.”
Yuzuki saw me off and I headed to the venue.
When I arrived at Shibuya, where the event was to be held, I found Rio waiting for me at the meeting place.
I was supposed to go with her to the venue.
“Ryo, thanks for waiting for me.”
When Rio saw me, she came up to me running.
“I didn’t wait for you. That outfit …….”
Today Rio was dressed in what is called a “minefield type” outfit.
The pink and black color scheme is often seen in the Kabukicho district of Shinjuku.
“I’m not sure if it’s weird or not. Isn’t it a bit like a gamer girl?”
“You look really cute. You’re wearing different makeup than usual.”
I felt that she had changed her makeup to match her clothes.
“I thought boys didn’t care about makeup.”
“Rio is cute and looks good in any clothes.”
The usual neat and tidy young lady’s outfit is good, but this kind of mine is also quite good.
I have quite a propensity for mine-type make-up and clothes.
“Oh, thank you. ……”
Rio said with her eyes a little downcast.
“Well, let’s go.”
The venue is just a short walk from here.
The preliminary rounds of the Japan Tournament will be held at the event site owned by Lugh.
The winners of the nationwide competition for the ticket to the Japan Tournament will gather at this year’s Japan Tournament.
Naturally, the feeling was very high.
“Takamori and Natsume.”
We showed our entrance passes to the security guards and entered the venue.
The venue had been changed to Pro-hopple specifications.
We had to wait in the waiting room for the tournament to start.
As the winner of the previous tournament, I felt that we were being treated wonderfully.
“Can’t you calm down?”
Rio has been restless since a while ago.
“I think it’s finally happening.”
“Well, it is, isn’t it? But I’m sure me and Rio will be fine. Let’s do it as usual.”
Compared to the first time, the coordination has become much better.
After understanding each individual’s ability, I think that we can play each other’s roles in a way that complements it.
“Yeah, that’s right. Let’s do our best together.”
Rio said so with her usual smile that even Angel-sama could not resist.
