[Black Basket] Sakura's Basketball

"Student Takahashi," after Xiaoxiu had eaten, the girl next door, Asakawa Nanmi, returned to the classroom with me, and suddenly smiled and held up a poster to me, "shall we sign up together?" It is a Ukiyo-e series painting competition that is signed up in the form of a combination.

──Where did the poster come from?

I took the poster, "If you don't mind my poor skills, that's fine." Nanmi Asakawa has won many awards in painting competitions, and I will drag her down.

"Yeah!" Nanmi Asakawa took my hand, "Let's go together. As long as you paint seriously, like Takahashi's love for Xiong Xiong, you can draw a good painting, which can't be exchanged for any number of awards. Oh." She blushed shyly, "I want to draw with Takahashi-san, the competition is actually just a formality. I want to see the world that Takahashi-san sees."

"Black."

"Yeah?" She tilted her head, looking super cute.

As we were talking, we heard screams from the girls as soon as we stepped into the classroom, and a magazine sealed in vinyl was thrown at our feet.

"Tuqiaohai!" a girl yelled, "You wretched man!"

Ah, today is cleaning day, the students on duty have to clean the classroom.I turned my head away silently.How many times will this obscene magazine appear in the school?All the girls screamed and denounced, all the boys died of laughter, only Tuqiaohai, who caused the accident, turned pale.

"Takahashi-san," Asakawa Nanmi whispered in my ear, "don't many of them have experience? Why are you so surprised?"

"Ghost knows." A few days ago, some girls were still discussing more exciting topics in the locker room, so that I, who sat next to me and didn't need to change into sports clothes, listened to the whole thing and learned something.

"I, I," Asakawa Nanmi was about to cry, "Ugh, actually, I despise Dohashi-san, but even though I don't have a boyfriend, I actually play [-] forbidden otome games... Am I being hypocritical? Oh, Takahashi-san, don't despise me!"

I paused, "Don't worry, I've played it before." It was just that I disliked it being blown up too easily, so I didn't play it again.I saw Tuqiaohai blushing so hard that I wanted to die, so I bent down to pick up the magazine, opened it, and said, "Wretched." Then I walked over and slapped him on the face with my backhand, and turned to the other students, "This bag of garbage is to be thrown away. ? Let me help too, the time is coming soon." Changed the subject.

"I'll come too!" Asakawa Nanmi clenched her fist and raised her arm muscles that she didn't have at all.

So everyone finally remembered that this was not a crusade against obscene magazines, but a cleaning time that had to be completed before class.At noon, I had dinner with Asakawa Nammi. To discuss the competition, I filled out the registration form first.I saw that there was still time left, so I took my notebook and sketch pen and went to the school roof to practice.This is the first time I went to the rooftop of Luoshan Mountain, but after climbing up for 10 minutes, the scenery I saw was not bad.

"Good afternoon, Dai." After taking two steps, I raised my hand to Dai Qianxun who was reading a novel in a corner, "Excuse me?" They have lunch together with these regular starters.

"Takahashi?" Dai Qianxun pulled out the earphones and looked at me, "You saw me again."

"People look for him thousands of Baidu."

"...huh?" Chihiro was taken aback.

"Just kidding. Because there is a junior who is very similar to you, I am more used to it."

"Ah... I said, is this a public place? I can't drive you out either."

"..." I meant to hinder him.I turned to go to the other side of the roof.

"Okay, don't let Akashi know that I'm bullying you." Dai Qianxun raised her chin to signal me to stay casually, then lay down and went back to read the novel.

I walked over slowly with no expression on my face, bent down and unplugged his earphones, and pulled off his novel covering his face, "Dai, if you want to talk about bullying, you have to apologize to me."

"What?" Dai Qianxun, who often had dull eyes, also looked at me expressionlessly.

"You look at the bottom of my skirt and then you should have seen the sweatpants inside, sorry. Do you think I'm really the type to be bullied? Also, you leaned over me so you let go Is there a problem with the neckline?"

"I can't see anything at all, well, I haven't moved any muscles on my face."

I raised my eyebrows, "So you read it."

"The angle, hey, of course I'll see it when I'm lying down. Ah, okay, I'm so annoying, sorry."

I let go of my hands and straightened my waist, "You read it subconsciously." My gaze swept over the novel in his hand.The title of the book is, cute little sister or something.This is an otaku, not lethal, let's forget it this time, don't kick him to death for now.

"You despise it, don't you?"

"If you read Eighteen Forbidden, I wouldn't despise it to this extent." This is just a strange otaku light novel.

"Tch, you're even more rude than Akashi."

I turned around and leaned on the railing to sit on the other side, sneezed against the February wind, opened the picture book and started practicing.It was the first time to use Luoshan Campus as the object of practice, and what I observed was different than usual.For example, it turns out that the literary and art clubs are full of old buildings, and the taste is completely different from the brand-new sports park. You can go there someday.

"Don't you need to go down?" When the class bell rang, Dai Qianxun, who was lying down, unplugged her earphones again, and put the novel on her chest, "Let me help you."

"Thanks, it's all right. Get away," I twirled the pen, catching it just as it stopped and about to fall, "nothing to do."

"Your appearance is really annoying, how can that young master Akashi bear you." Dai Qianxun didn't want to get up either, "Hey, let me tell you, you look very cute, and you are a bit of a school girl for me awareness?"

"You mean the consciousness of letting the seniors take advantage of you?"

"I said that I can't see it. You are too tight. And the skirt. Kyoto is the city with the shortest average skirt length for female high school students in the Kansai area. Are you pretending to be a lady? The school doesn't care. Although the knee One centimeter up, you are also a pretty length, but the average is sixteen."

I turned my head and looked at him, "Wretched." Dai, who has been silent all this time, is this kind of person.

"Boys can read it. This is human nature. You are authoritarian enough. Besides, you are the first to despise my novels, right?"

"You must have no friends." You can speak directly to this point, no friends, poof.

"You're not very polite."

"But it's not that you're out of your mind. Talk about the length of a girl's skirt in front of her, are you out of your mind?"

"I'm just telling the truth, there's nothing you can do if you don't like it. You're also arrogant enough, and it's obviously extremely bad."

"It's none of your business. I didn't offend you, and I won't apologize."

Dai Qianxun turned her face away and let out a breath.

"So what does 'school girl' refer to?" I put down my pen and looked at him.He has something to say, but it's too much fun to be taken away so easily.

"Ah, this. I mean, I'm in the third grade. You have to respect me. Even if it's superficial, you should call me senior anyway. To be honest, it's very annoying to call you Dai, Dai or something. It's hot."

"Senior Dai." I turned my face and picked up the pen and continued to draw.

"..." Dai Qianxun was stunned.

"If you want people's respect, you have to fight for it yourself. I don't think your arrogance is any better than mine." If he hadn't said this to me, I didn't plan to say anything, but he said, I also said.

Dai Qianxun calmed down for a while before saying: "Forget about the others, anyway, they are only realistic based on strength, and hypocritical only for profit. If you are, you don't like me from the beginning to the end."

"Strength is one of the foundations for them to recognize people. They are paranoid, but don't you? Do you want others to admit that you haven't done anything, and it's not your biological mother. I also have my own standards." Dai may have spirit Cleanliness? "But if you think too much, I don't have any feelings for you at all."

"Tsk, you really know how to teach people. You are so autocratic yourself." Dai Qianxun tutted and stood up holding the novel, "Young master at least values ​​victory, you don't care about anything at all. I said, even if The young master doesn't want you now, you can't go to the basketball court anymore, and you will definitely not cry and die, right? In the end, the most indifferent one is you, the real devil."

"You devil sister, I just learned to accept it." I threw a pencil at him with my backhand, and Dai Qianxun quickly dodged it, "It's okay to care, but if you take everything to heart, you will be exhausted for the rest of your life. I've already put too many things in." Upper body. If you have the guts, you can say that I didn’t really work hard for the team this year. I don’t need to explain to you what I really care about. Anyway, it’s not for you. Senior Dai, please die.” He didn’t want to die , I don't have time to pull him casually.

"...So it's a little devil type. Takahashi, try to shorten the skirt a little bit, you can keep the sweatpants as a cute thing, and then keep your face expressionless. It's better to put on some makeup. It's a pity that the hair is long, Shoulder-length curly hair like before is also pretty good. Then, wear less underwear to leave some openings. I said, it’s enough to only wear a bra, how many extra vests did you add?”

"What are you looking at?" It's better to kick to death.I rolled my eyes, "Senior Dai, don't you also like basketball?" When Akashi took full advantage of him on the court, he never asked to leave the court. Paradoxically, he asked to leave the team at the beginning of the semester.

"I like myself better."

Even.So, it's not like I don't like basketball.

This was the only long conversation Dai Qianxun and I had in Luoshan University until the third year graduated. After that, I didn’t see him again when I went to the rooftop. Dai Qianxun must have gone to find a new quiet place where he would not be disturbed by others. Disturbed, he continued to read his sister's light novels, which were actually very obscene.Well, give me the place, and I'll accept it gratefully.

One morning, I skipped class to paint on the roof. When I went down to have lunch with Asakawa Nanmei at the next table at noon, the boys had already left, and only the girls left the classroom with the curtains drawn and the lights turned off, sitting around a laptop. They didn't know what they were doing in front of the computer, their faces were flushed, but their eyes were bright.

"Takahashi-san," Asakawa Nanmi saw me, "you, you," she rubbed the hem of her clothes with both hands, "do you want to come and see? Mori-san brought the latest one," she paused, then shook her hand Holding her fist, she said, "Otome game!"

Carry on.

Mori Yangna smiled strangely, "Come on, Takahashi-san, step in together, and I will take you to open the door of Otome."

Hey.

The other girls said: "But, but, Takahashi-san is so pure and quiet, and she is Akashi-sama's beautiful and lovely little white flower. We brought her in, that's too..." Then they screamed, "It's so exciting and shy !"

I'm not very familiar with them, but this misunderstanding is too big.I raised my hand and said, "Is there a book about character introduction? No, there is no need for a strategy guide, just something that explains the character of the character." I walked over to the seat they gave me and sat down, "Time is limited, let's play the official protagonist first." Go ahead. Give me 15 minutes."

When I finally played the ending game picture of Eighteen Prohibition, the girls surrounded me and screamed desperately. I folded my arms, leaned back on the back of the chair and watched them twist and turn, and laughed out loud with my head bowed.Akashi, who noticed that I didn't go to lunch, just walked into our classroom and opened the door to look for me.

"...Did I disturb everyone?" Akashi asked calmly with an apologetic but polite smile.

"Takahashi-san," Mori Yangna, who brought the game, grabbed my hands, his eyes bright, "please do strange things to Akashi-sama with this innocent expression! Like the game CG! After this In 15 minutes, I am convinced that you can definitely do it!"

Everyone screamed again.

During the club activities that day, I discussed with Akashi and Supervisor Platinum that I would go to middle school to find high-quality newcomers, and then I went to the warehouse to check the supplies inspection list.

"Saki," Akashi, who was wearing a sports coat over his shoulders, also came over, looking over my head at my work, "I told you that you can call me when you go up to the rooftop, and I'll carry you up."

"You won't have time to eat with Shibuchi and the others. Ah Zheng, I'm not a useless person."

"That was not what I meant."

"But you also have to let me do what I do on the premise that I know you can help me at any time."

"Okay, I understand, and you understand too." He suddenly reached out and hugged my waist from behind, "Then, can you tell me what you were discussing at noon?"

"What you're doing now."

"It's useless for me to change the subject, Saki."

"You don't want to hear it."

"No, everything about Saki, as long as you want to say, I want to hear it."

I turned my head slightly to look at him and raised my eyebrows, "We are discussing the forbidden game for women."

Akashi looked at me expressionlessly, after a while, let go of me, and turned his back, "Saki, how is the inspection going?"

──It is really interesting to say strange things to Akashi.

I raised the corners of my mouth.

This year of high school is over.During the spring break, the Luoshan Basketball Club held a training camp as usual, and I also stayed overnight in order to have more time to work.My feet need more rest. The most direct way is to give up the strategic arrangement of helping the army, but I don’t like this, so I share the work with another manager Terasawa Souta and teach him to lead the team out of the game. He and I take turns going to the army, and discuss strategic issues with other managers on weekdays. Even if I don’t lead the team directly, I will try my best to realize my ideal.The difference from middle school is that many members of the Second and Third Armies applied for resignation at the end of the school year, and I took their applications one by one, and handed them over to Akashi for review after processing.They did not have the strong cohesiveness of the Diguang women's basketball team at the beginning, so it is normal to do so.The number of players in Luoshan dropped sharply, but it didn't involve elites, and it just vacated the position for newcomers, and it was easier to manage. Akashi was very satisfied and didn't say a word about it.

He and I have always had different ways of leading the team. After that defeat, his methods have gradually improved a lot. His way of managing the team is almost impeccable. The rest is just a difference in philosophy, not a matter of right or wrong. I don't need to say more about the team he leads.

"Woo," the manager Terasawa Sota cried, "Are you all going to plant grass?"

I smiled and put the application away, "They all need to think about themselves." Some players simply transferred to other teams.

"Isn't Takahashi sad? You are the best to them!"

"The best thing for them is you. I just accomplish what I want to do. The purpose is not as pure as yours. I have done everything I have done, and they also have their own ideas. Let's get together and break up," I stretched out my hand and patted Terasawa Souta's head, "Don't be sad."

"Sister Takahashi," another manager, Yokokawa, knocked on the door of the department room, "I'm looking for someone outside, and I'm waiting in the First Army."

carry on? "Thank you." I stood up, and when I walked to the First Army Gymnasium, I accidentally saw Sanada coach of the Teiko men's basketball team, and my vice-captain at that time, Owada Yuki, and a girl Yamada Aoi who was a year younger than her in the Teiko school uniform. There was also a Teiko girl I didn't recognize.Aoi Yamada, who was one year younger, is the captain of Owada who was optimistic about the next term. It is speculated that the girl I don't recognize is the next new captain.

"Captain Takahashi!" Owada Yuki and Yamada Aoi reflexively stood up from the bench when they saw me.

The other girl also stood up a little later, "Hello, Takahashi-senpai."

"Hello, Coach Sanada." I nodded to Coach Sanada, then turned to them and raised my hand, "Good afternoon, Yamada, Yamada, and junior girls."

What they came to talk to me about was that Coach Sanada wanted to be the supervisor of the women's basketball team.

"About this matter," Coach Sanada said seriously, "I want to tell you, and get your approval first."

"You're being serious, I won't say that this has nothing to do with me," I stood up and bowed, "but it's not to this extent. They are always in a deformed state without supervision. After all, they are all underage. The target is you , that's great, I'm really happy."

"I hope I can inform you before taking office and get your understanding." Coach Sanada said, "This is also your Teiguang."

I smiled and said, "It's the Teiko of every team member. I will hand over the legal document that I signed with the school board to you."

Coach Sanada continued: "I need a copy with legal effect, and I also want to hand over a copy to each captain. I promise that I will explain the content and ins and outs to future captains. If you want, I can make They will all meet you before they take office. As for the original, Takahashi, I want you to keep it."

"Okay." I nodded.It's not my style to hand over everything and leave no way out. "You can contact me at any time to find a lawyer to sign the copy. As for the new captain to see me first," I shook my head, "No need."

After sending them off, Mibuchi Lingyang, who had finished the training, came over and said with a smile, "Xiao Saki is very popular in Teiko, and my junior respects you very much. It's completely different from Xiaozheng's aura. type."

I took out the candy in my skirt pocket, threw one into my mouth, and handed the candy bag to Shibuchi, "There was an incident before, and how much they respect me now means that it is in their hearts." What a shadow it left." I remembered that when the new captain looked at me, his eyes were curious but far less than that of Owada Youxi and the others adoring me.

I looked at the empty doorway and smiled.

Not forgotten, but passed.

I laughed.

"Mibuchi, I made a cake, shall I eat it after school?"

"Yeah? But Xiaozheng will want to kill me, right? He doesn't like me playing with Xiaosaki more and more recently. Hehe," Mibuchi laughed, "It's unexpectedly cute. Xiaozheng is not so stingy Is it a man you want? But it’s hard to do anything when you’re in love, and you’re not an easy person to get along with, so it’s scary when you have the desire for monopoly.”

"Hey, it's you who said it so scary. As long as you don't step on him, in all fairness, Ah Zheng is very easy to get along with." I folded my arms.

"But we're a basketball team, so there's nothing we can do."

"Hasn't Ah Zheng been much gentler to you recently?"

"That's why I feel creepy." Mibuchi stroked his smooth and beautiful black hair, "I always feel that if you anger the current him, this is the real hell."

"..." Regarding this point of view, I decided not to comment.Don't be afraid of returning, I don't want to mess with Akashi even if it's okay, fuck, I'm obviously on the side of normal people's thinking.

Besides, I don't want to see him frown and angry and unhappy.

When I came back to my senses, I realized that the corners of my mouth were raised upwards.

The author has something to say:
