"So, you're late again and lost your way? But, the regular team members should have already passed inspection..."

Although the basketball and tennis matches have different venues, they all start at the same time. However, relatively speaking, the tennis match is a little slower. After all the players are present, the official members have to go around the check-in area outside the court to count the number of players.But when the first quarter of the basketball game is over, no matter what happens in the tennis game, the inspection has already been done.

This kid is not here yet?

Judging by the clothes he was wearing, he should be an official member of Qingxue.

It is not uncommon to be scolded by the coach.

The boy with cat pupils froze, and pulled off his white peaked cap in embarrassment.

The ringtone of the mobile phone that I just used to check the time in my hand was ringing loudly.

Ryoma calmed down, and the sweat that had dried on his forehead began to break out again. He tremblingly pressed the answer button.

"Echizen!!! Where are you? Why haven't you been seen yet?"

The voice seemed to be that of a female elder of a certain age, and she was full of anger when she shouted and cursed.The sound broke through the screen of the mobile phone even if the hands-free was not turned on, as if a storm was about to overwhelm the sky.

"Coach Ryuzaki, that... Actually, I met a pregnant woman who was about to give birth on the way—"

Echizen Ryoma boy coughed and started his performance.

"How many times do you have to use this reason! Since the beginning of the country, you have been this reason for being late, Echizen! You are so lucky that you can meet pregnant women who are about to give birth every time?!"

... Is this feeling still a common reason?

The coach on the opposite side was so anxious that he took a long breath and took a deep breath, probably adhering to the principle of his own bear who wants to be beaten, but also brought back to beat him, to calm down his mood.

"Are you at the venue now?"

"Ah, yes."

"In short, the inspection side barely passed, but even if the first match is doubles, you, the number two singles, come here quickly!"

The other person directly issued an order, probably because he was afraid that his blood pressure would rise, so he hung up the phone without waiting for a reply.The pitiful young man with dark green hair blinked his cat-like eyes, and said a sentence lightly from his mouth...

"But... I don't know where the stadium is."

The boy glanced at the screen of the phone that had been hung up, swallowed his saliva, and pointed his thumb in front of the callback button, as if he had made enough mental preparations.

"I know where the tennis court is, just wait a minute, I'll send a message to my friend and tell my friend to take you there."

Kurom looked at the kitten-like boy, thought of something, and offered to help.

"……thanks."

The boundary of the tennis court is indeed very biased. Because a large outdoor space is needed, the gymnasium specially designated a special area, and then divided the schools participating in the quarter-finals into the four areas of abcd according to the schedule.

"Echizen-kun, are you a Seigaku player?" Kurombe asked the boy's sportswear logo in front of the school's bulletin board.

"Yes. I heard from the senior that it should be in Area A."

"Then——I found it. Qingxue and Bingdi are indeed here. Just go forward."

The purple-haired girl, who was inconvenient to hold two cans of drinks, raised her chin as a gesture.

"I'm going back, and I probably don't need to lead the way anymore, Mr. Longma."

"Well, that...cough, thank you." The Echizen boy hesitated for a long time, and suddenly realized that he didn't know what to call the woman leading the way. He was stuck for a few seconds, coughed to cover it up, and thanked him.

"Haha." Coulom chuckled, and understood what he meant, his eyes that were not covered by the blindfold were bent, "It's okay."

"Sister Nagi?"

The uncertain male voice behind him yelled hesitantly with hazy drowsiness, and Colum paused for a moment before continuing to walk forward.

"Huh? Did I recognize the wrong person? Sister Nagi?"

The voice behind him became a little more sober, his pace quickened, and he rushed to Kurom in a few steps——

Due to the reaction that Rokudo Nagi should have, Kurom had no choice but to be overtaken by him.

Purple hair with a shawl, unnatural bangs on the right side, and a black eye mask that is not deliberate but clearly exists under the bangs.

The woman's body was slender, and although she was wearing a pair of flat white sneakers for easy movement when she went out to play, she seemed a bit small compared to the high school boys who grew up fast by running and jumping every day.

Although she was called elder sister, no matter her appearance or figure... she seemed to be the smaller one, and she was naturally weak and restrained.

"Let me just say, even if I've been sleeping all the time, I will never admit my mistake to Nagi-san!"

The milk-orange curly-haired baby sheep nodded affirmatively, half-closed its eyes and sniffed, and circled around Coulom happily.Then belatedly, he turned his gaze to Coulom's face, and when he saw the right eye covered by the blindfold, his face turned pale.

"That, Nagi-san?"

"Cirou, what are you doing?" Holding the racket, the boy in the Ice Emperor uniform seemed to have just warmed up and came from the other side, "It's time to go back, the game is about to start, don't fall asleep again after you play gone."

"Yushi..." The boy's voice, which had been drowsy all the time, trembled a little.

"what happened?"

Ninja Yuuji lowered his head in the direction of his teammates' eyes, and the flat eyes with black round frames reflected light with the movement, covering his surprised eyes.

"..."

The purple-haired woman seemed to flick her bangs in front of the blindfold uncomfortably, and smiled kindly at the two without explaining, just nodded at them.

"My friend is still waiting for me, let's go first."

After speaking, he left the tennis court with two cans of drinks without looking back.

"Yuki... that's Nagi-san, right?"

"……Um."

Shinobu Yushi pushed his glasses, was silent for a moment, and said affirmatively.

"but she……"

"I only know that Sister Nagi had a car accident, but everyone didn't tell me what happened afterwards, and then her family moved out."

Akutagawa Jirou bowed his head in frustration.

"It's nothing, go back."

Because the family runs a hospital, I happened to know that the elder sister was abandoned by her parents after a car accident, miraculously improved and disappeared without internal organ matching, Renzu just took away her sheep in silence.

Yushi Ninaku, who was still in elementary school at the time, kept transferring schools because of his father's work, and was not stable. He also overheard Jiro talking about Miss Anagi, who was very good to him when he was a child, and also dug out the story of when he was a child. It was only when I took the photo that I remembered the strange things that happened in his hospital.

The windows of the intensive care unit were wide open, and the pure white curtains were blowing outwards due to the wind. The quilt on the bed was carefully folded, and even the wrinkles on the bed were carefully smoothed out.

There was a bouquet of perfectly bloomed white snowdrops in a vase that should not have existed on the bedside of the hospital bed, and the fragile girl who should have been lying on the hospital bed and barely supported by the ventilator was like a broken lily falling into the abyss. Disappeared without a trace.

At that time, the nurse in charge of the intensive care unit was so frightened that her eyes were red. She thought that the patient had heard the words outside the ward that her parents had given up treatment. Looking at the open window, she thought she had committed suicide by jumping off the building.

But after several searches, no one was found. After contacting her mother, the other side of the phone replied coldly to the hospital with the attitude of "I know, I will treat her as dead".

It is said that at that time, the actress who is also popular now and has countless fans with her "remaining independent after remarriage" and "good mother" personality left a sentence, "I paid all the money, and the rest of the treatment fee will be paid." Treat it as a hush money, don't let the media know" and hung up the phone.

but……

Seeing her again, she seems to be doing well, so... that's pretty good too.

Back on the basketball court, Collom held up his gentle expression as always, and handed the drink that had been forced to cool down after some "difficulties and obstacles" to Mao Lilan in his seat.

When he met his childhood brother next door, to be honest, Collom didn't have much fluctuation in his heart.

With a new family, friends, and identity, she is no longer the little girl who was alone holding a doll and guarding an empty room.

Lord Mu picked her back, everyone in Hei Yao and Peng Gelie regarded her as family and never let her suffer any grievances.What makes up her life these days may not seem so "just," but she takes it as an honor and a joy.

As for that kid Ciro, all he needs to do is play his favorite tennis in the sun.

"Anagi, you are a little bit slow. It shouldn't be true, your sense of direction is not good, so keep leading others to find the way."

More than half of the third quarter has been played, and when she went out, she took a break in the first quarter, and there was a halftime break after that, so she did go out for a long time.

"Sorry, sorry, does the word 'also' mean that Xiaolan has a bad sense of direction?"

While apologizing, Coulom grasped the point, looked at the long-haired girl who nodded shyly beside her, and then thoughtfully changed the subject.

"I just encountered something else, sorry. Besides, the tennis court is super big, and I'm already walking very fast."

"Then have you seen the garden?"

"No, there are four divisions abcd over there. The little brother I met is from Qingxue, and he will play in the quarterfinals against Bingdi in Division A."

"Bingdi, that Yuanzi must not be there anymore." Mao Lilan nodded understandingly, "It seems that the minister of Bingdi is a child of Yuanzi's family, and she may be related. Without the consent of my uncle and aunt."

Eh?

The lady is secretly in love and still hides it from her family?

This direction is a bit bloody.

"Because Sonoko's sister is already engaged, and there are only two sisters in their family, Ayako and her sister, so it seems that their family wants her to find someone who can... um, get married?" Xiaolan explained uncertainly, "Of course, Uncle Suzuki also said that Sonoko's liking is the most important thing."

understood.

The Suzuki chaebol has always been well-known in Japan's upper class society, so the choice of heir must naturally be carefully considered.

Among the big families that Coulom knew, the two rituals of Rin's good friend were for the man to marry.The husband and wife, one dealing with the underworld and the other dealing with the truth, complement each other very well.As long as the relationship is in place, being a married woman doesn't seem to be something to be ashamed of.

Ahem, Mrs. Mu has mentioned more than once that her husband in the future... If it wasn't for Peng Lie's self-produced and self-sold, he would let someone marry him.

While chatting with Xiaolan, the audience who was watching the game seriously let out an exclamation.

The score on the field is still dead.Because it might be a little late to look back and miss the most exciting part, Collom understood what just happened through the replay on the big screen.

Cheng Lin No. 11, who has always been the center of the pass, suddenly made a shot and shot a goal to overtake the opponent at the end of the third quarter.

Kind of weird push-hand shot...then, the ball just disappears.

Disappeared.

After a few more seconds, the ball appeared on the basket and scored.

Although he didn't know how to operate it, and he didn't understand after listening to the explanation, but he was a talent.

Callum nodded.

It's confirmed, just this sense of presence, it's more like assassination than their family's group of Balian assassination teams who are selling dog meat, and look at this trick... It's a good seed to be a warlock.
