Thanks for understanding :) “That first-year rookie is a real monster! He’s unbelievably good!” “Who are you talking about? Byodoin Houou, the one who came back from the losers’ bracket?” “Yeah! Who else?” “He’s definitely good, but I heard Byodoin Houou used to play doubles at Makino Fuji!” “Really? But I haven’t seen him play doubles at training camp! And with that temper of his... would anyone really partner up with him? Wouldn’t they get beaten to death?” “It’s absolutely true! I heard Byodoin Houou and his doubles partner were incredibly close. Like... I heard Byodoin never once spoke harshly to his partner!” “No way! With his explosive temper? Did his partner not make it into U-17?” “No, it seems they had a falling-out and went their separate ways, so his partner didn’t join U-17. I heard it from a friend at Makino Fuji. Nobody dares bring him up around Byodoin, but his name was on the invitation.” “So there’s a story behind it. Anyway, after all that, what’s his partner’s name?” “I heard... it’s Nanri Jijitsu!” Theme: None
