Kimura Kazuki did not reject Ikioi Ito's overwhelming enthusiasm.
On the contrary, he now wished that he could have more contact with the people from the Deity Rising Palace. Ikioi Ito's family could be a good place to start.
While Kimura Kazuki was considering this, it was already his turn to compete.
The audience was already impressed by Kimura Kazuki during Sakura Kyu's team competition. Now every time he appeared on stage, his presence was accompanied by waves of cheers.
Every cheer of "Head of Department!" had an impact on the other competitors' mental strength.
To the audience, Kimura Kazuki was already the Tokyo champion this year. They all had their hopes pinned on him to represent Tokyo in the National Jade Dragon Flag Competition, and for him to clinch the title of champion.
