[SD] Logic of Wild Dogs

With only three seconds left before the end of the game, Kaede Rukawa dribbled the ball into the basket and jumped up—Eiji Sawakita and Masashi Kawada stood in front of him like an iron wall.

With two seconds to go, Rukawa passed the ball-this was the first time ever that Rukawa passed the ball to Sakuragi.

At the last second, Sakuragi Hanamichi shot without hesitation like a divine help-the trajectory drew a perfect parabola in the air.Countless people and countless pairs of eyes watched this historic moment.

The countdown goes to zero - the goal is scored.

The whistle blew and the goal counted.

Xiangbei vs. Shanwang, 79:78——Win.

Red No. 11 strode across Kawada and Zebei, whose expressions were blank, across the sweaty and slippery floor, until he walked in front of Red No. [-].

They gasped heavily, staring at each other without saying a word - high five!

Akagi, Mitsui, and Miyagi howled like crazy and rushed forward, screaming like a beast, and the five hugged tightly.

Everyone seemed to have turned into a fool in an instant, just standing there blankly, and the minds of the people who were shocked by the great joy went blank.Tokuo Hotita's expression was extremely distorted, he was gnashing his teeth and sobbing, and he didn't know whether he was going to cry or laugh.The Yingmu Legion desperately pulled Gao Gongwang's fat face, screaming and stomping his feet.Qi Haixue burst into tears, her chest twitched, and she sat on the ground limply.Haruko smiled brilliantly, but her tears kept flowing...Yasuda, Mugure, Caizi, all of them rushed onto the field without any image, grabbed anyone at random and hugged them indiscriminately, slapping their teammates on the shoulders and arms , Jumping and shouting, incoherent, I don't know what I said, only one sentence remained in my head - I won!

【Won! 】

【we won! ! 】

……

The reporters on the sports page clamored to publish the group photo of Xiangbei as the front page of the magazine, and the Xiangbei people happily lined up and took poses.

"Hey, did you see where Qihai went?" Mitsui squatted on the ground and did not forget to turn around and ask Tokuo.

"Miss Qihai...? Huh? Strange, she was here just now..." De Nan said, looking left and right.

Miyagi: "Xiao Qihai? She probably didn't know that she wanted to take pictures."

"What? I'm going to find her..." Mitsui was about to stand up, but Mu Mu pressed his shoulders.

"I saw the direction she was going to the bathroom just now, and she should be back in a while."

Caizi: "Probably to change clothes? After all, wearing the uniform of the support team, it must be very hot?"

Mitsui frowned and was about to speak, when Sakuragi roared impatiently: "If you want to shoot, hurry up! Bastard!"

"Ah, I'm sorry!" The sports reporter who was talking nonsense on the opposite side quickly picked up the camera, "I want to take a picture! Everyone's expressions are too serious, you can smile!"

The veins on Mitsui's forehead jumped straight: "I'm so exhausted! How can I laugh!"

"Three—two—eggplants!"

The moment the flash was on, he finally smiled handsomely.

……

In the lady's dressing room, the water from the faucet was rushing.

When I took off the support uniform with a black stand-up collar, the white long-sleeved shirt inside was soaked in sweat and became transparent.Changing back into a white dress, Qi Haixue splashed a handful of water on her face with both hands, feeling cool.

In the mirror of the sink, the girl's eyes were all red and swollen, and the tip of her nose and cheeks were red with tears, making it itchy.

Qihai lowered her head and washed her face with water again.I didn't know what happened just now, but I just burst into tears like that, crying so hard that my throat hurt.

Everyone... is amazing.Captain Akagi, Ryota, Sakuragi-kun, Rukawa-kun... and Mitsui-kun.

Although I couldn't help crying when Mitsui made a three-pointer before.But when such an unbelievable victory really came, Qi Haixue was emotionally broken.

[I won... I won! 】

【Great, Mitsui-kun... Mitsui-kun...】

How difficult it is to walk along the way, once dreamed, huge setbacks, stagnation and depravity, twisting and struggling in the dark... until returning to the court.How much effort he had put in, yet that proud man wept secretly because of exhaustion, how regretful he was...

It is precisely because I know this so clearly that I can see him with a pale face and can't even open his eyes, still desperately persevering, such a embarrassed look; I can see that he can't even stand still and still shoots three-pointers in perfect posture. Seeing him resolutely fly towards the rostrum; seeing him burn out all his desperate shots and being knocked to the ground by his opponent—a three-pointer...

The moment the whistle blew, Qihai burst into tears.

Great joy and distress mixed with pride, crying out of hand.

Oops, when I think of this, tears come back...

……

Sitting in the lounge for a while and returning to Lan, but still no sign of Nanami, Mitsui Shou finally couldn't stand it anymore.

Leaning against the wall, he stood outside the door of the lady's dressing room. He wanted to call someone, but was too embarrassed to speak. Mitsui took out his mobile phone and dialed the number one button.

A unique phone ringing came from the dressing room, followed by the sound of panicking and dropping the bag, the green call indicator lighted up, and a thick nasal sound [Hello] came from the receiver.

Are you crying again?

Did this guy secretly hide here and cry?Just now, she was already crying like that, and...

Mitsui Shou was angry and funny. "It's been so long, it's time to come out?"

【Hmmmmm. ] There was a low response, and Mitsui could almost imagine that guy's flushed face and teary eyes.

Mitsui: "I'm at the door, waiting for you."

After a while, Qihai, with swollen eyes, red nose, and wet forehead, secretly poked out half of her face from the crack of the door: "Mitsui-kun...can you stop looking at me?"

"...I really have nothing to do with you." Mitsui Shou turned his back from Shan Ruliu, "Are you ready?"

"Not yet." Qihai muttered, turned her head and blew her nose again.

The sound of the faucet being turned, the rushing of the water, and the sound of scooping up water and slapping the face.

"Why sneak while taking pictures?"

"Because... she cried so much that she couldn't stop." Qi Hai looked at herself in the mirror and felt ugly.

"Have you calmed down now?"

"Ah."

The rustling of clothes gradually approached, and a pair of arms embraced Mitsui from behind.

"Don't hug me, my body smells like sweat..." Mitsui turned his face awkwardly, but was hugged even tighter by the girl.

"It's okay, me too..." Qihai's head was lightly resting on Mitsui's back, he changed his shirt, his face was hot, there was only a slight smell of sweat, which smelled very comfortable.

"Mitsui-kun."

"what happened?"

"Mitsui-kun... is so handsome."

"Well, uh..."

"Suddenly discovered... I really, really like Mitsui-kun... I like it, I don't know what to do..."

A blush crept up the young man's cheeks, and he reached out to hold the cold little hand on his waist: "Fool..."

……

Unfortunately, in the game against Aihe Academy the next day, Xiangbei, who was exhausted in battle, lost in a mess.The group photo in which Qihai was absent failed to be published in the newspaper in the end.

Comprehensive nursing home.

"Even if we killed the Mountain King for them, the Wild Monkeys couldn't win the championship!" Sakuragi Hanadao closed the newspaper indignantly.

Rukawa: "Hmph, idiot."

Sakuragi immediately became angry: "Smelly fox!"

"Rukawa, don't keep irritating him, he is a patient after all!" Miyagi also teased a few words with a smirk.

"Damn it! Even you, Xiao Liang!?"

"No loud noises are allowed in the hospital!" The nurse pushed open the door and reminded with a smile that it would be fine if the veins on her forehead didn't pop.

A few teenagers obediently stopped their voices.

"Hainan won the second place." Gongyan Mumu picked up the apple and peeled it, and said with a gentle smile, "This year's champion is Daiei College in Osaka."

"It's all your fault, scumbag." Miyagi frowned and kicked Mitsui.

"What did you say!?" Mitsui turned around to make a fuss, but Akagi grabbed him by the collar.

Akagi: "Don't make too much noise in the hospital!"

It's a pity that it was too late to shout, and several people were kicked out viciously by the sister nurse.

The sky is high and the clouds are wide, and the wind by the sea is already a little cold.

Summer is almost over.

"Sakuragi's injury...is it okay?" Mitsui looked at the clouds in the sky and suddenly asked.

"Idiots can't die." Rukawa Feng said unexpectedly, and walked away quickly.

"Stinky boy..." Mitsui looked at Rukawa's awkward back and muttered in a low voice, "Where are we going next? There seems to be a stadium nearby, do you want to do some activities?"

"No, I have a cram school with Akagi." Mu Mu pushed his glasses, "It's the third grade after all."

Mitsui stopped talking for a moment.

After seeing off the captain and deputy captain, Mitsui and Miyagi walked towards the station together.

"Tsk, it's really boring. I could have recommended it, but I have to take the exam myself."

"I really think this is Boss Akagi's style. Anyway, their grades are already good, and they can take the exam by themselves." Miyagi Yoshida said disapprovingly, "It's you, don't repeat the grade."

"You failed as many subjects as me, okay!?" Mitsui frowned and shouted.

The bus came slowly, and Miyagi waved his hand casually: "Forget it, I'm leaving too. Ayako said that she has something to ask me, and I have to go and order movie tickets."

"Dating?! Isn't it!?"

"Ahahaha...bye!" Miyagi let out a long laugh, and quickly jumped into the car.

Almost instantly, Mitsui was left alone at the station.

"Tsk... one or two..." He swallowed in the middle of his words.

The rehabilitation center is in a secluded suburb, and the waiting car will arrive in a while. Mitsui looks at the sea boredly with his hands in his pockets.

The sea in southern Shonan is as blue as ever, and the seabirds in the distance chase each other, ups and downs.

[It's a seagull. 】

[Well, it seems to be... a black-tailed gull, or a black-backed gull? ] The girl's voice suddenly came to mind.

[Whatever it's called, it's a bird anyway. ] At the beginning, it seemed that he said so.

【Well, no matter what the name is, a flower is a flower, a bird is a bird, and a star is a star. ] That guy actually smiled and agreed.

[Anyway, it’s all right. 】

[The sea is the sea, and the seven seas are also the sea. 】

Mitsui couldn't help laughing when he didn't expect top students to say such nonsense with him.

[Well, the seven seas are quite strange. 】

[What about the three wells? 】

[Very handsome. 】Looking at her puzzled look, Mitsui nonsense in a serious manner, 【Sanjing's words are very handsome. 】

【What's the reason? 】

[Unreasonable. 】

【Haha, Senior Mitsui, you...】

Mitsui Shou smiled.

The phone rang, it was Altman's theme song.

"Hey?"

A familiar voice came from the phone: [Mitsui-kun. 】

Mitsui Shou smiled slightly: "Ah, I'll go back right away."
