Song of Light and Shadow

"Eh? Street basket?" Looking at Vulcan's surprised look, Jiang Qi said a little unhappy: "What kind of expression do you...do you think the three of us can't do it?"

"Uh, no, no." Vulcan put down the chopsticks in his left hand, looked at the broccoli that fell on the table, and said with some distress, "After all, I'm still practicing my left hand now, and I'm afraid I won't realize it if I go to the street basketball competition. I use my right hand..."

"Well, Lord Vulcan will definitely not realize it." Heizi put the mushroom into his mouth expressionlessly.

"Hey, am I that bad?!" Vulcan blushed.

"But tomorrow is a rare rest day. If we still play basketball, it will be the same as usual." He Yuan frowned.

"Do you want to stay at home and be talked about by your mother? I don't want it." Jiang Qi shook his head, then took out the promotional poster, "It's not very far away, I'll be there in 10 minutes by car. And sign up on the same day It's all possible. Besides, we don't have many opportunities to play like Vulcan and Heizi, and we can only play for five or six minutes at most. Even I want to work hard in basketball. Although initially The purpose is to have a girlfriend..." Jiang Qi seemed to recall the sad past while talking, and after a short silence, he suddenly shouted: "But now basketball is everything to me!"

"Mr. Jiangqi, you still have to study." Heizi complained calmly.

"All in all, are you coming?" Jiang Qi wiped his eyes and asked, slapping the poster on the table.

"I have no problem, as long as I can take No. 2." Heizi said that I was full, and put down his chopsticks.

Vulcan hesitated for a while, and finally decided to participate in the street basketball competition. After all, the training in the competition is more effective.

When everyone arrived at the park the next day, they were a little surprised by the popularity of the scene.After all, it is just a street basketball conference, but the scale is not small.

"Woof! Wang!" No. 2 was obviously much more excited than Heizi. He kept running and wagging his tail, coupled with hesitation, being surrounded by girls saying "cute" and "so cute" and getting food, he seemed extremely happy.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh, it seems to be number 2..." Jiang Qi looked at number 2 with envy and jealousy.

After hearing this, Heizi looked at Jiang Qi with those dull eyes, and after a slight pause, he said solemnly: "Please don't become No. 2. If that happens, No. 2 will be very pitiful."

"Hey! Heizi, what do you mean! Could it be that I'm not as good as No. 2?!" Jiang Qi struggled.

"Yes." Heizi replied honestly, so before signing up, a member of the Seirin Street Basketball Team squatted in a corner because of a severe blow to his heart.

Vulcan sighed, reached out and rubbed Heizi's hair, smiled helplessly and said, "Don't bully Jiang Qi, that guy is very pitiful."

"I don't want to be told by you, idiot Vulcan!" Jiang Qi burst into tears.

Vulcan ignored the lowering of the flag, but looked at the relaxed and comfortable person who should not be here, and asked in a suspicious voice: "Speaking of which, why are you here?"

The person being asked is Muji who came here instead of Kawara.

"Well, I just came here by chance. It just so happens that Kawara-kun has a cold. When I met on the road yesterday, I said you were going to play a street basketball game. I envied you for a long time. But it's really great. It just so happens that Kawara-kun has a cold. Yeah." Muji smiled softly.

So everyone, including Heizi and No. 2, silently prayed for Heyuan in their hearts. He was destined to catch a cold when he met Muji.

Even so, everyone can only express their condolences to Heyuan, the game still has to be played, and to be honest, the addition of Muji has indeed stabilized the inside line a lot.

When the five of them went to the registration office to register together, they met Zhengbang directly.Although it's not that I didn't expect to meet someone I know, but it was a bit unexpected to meet Zhengbang to participate in the street basketball. After all, Zhengbang's training is still very strict.

But an opponent is an opponent, and the stronger the better, this is the truth.

"Hey, Muji, you can play basketball already?" Iwamura was a little surprised after seeing Muji.

"Well, it's about the same." Muji mumbled.

"Speaking of which, don't you guys need to practice? You're going to the WC preselection soon." Vulcan asked without thinking while chewing bread.

"Zhengbang can't attend WC." Haruhi sighed, and said calmly, "The only ones who represent WC are the top eight of i·h. Group A is you and Xiude. We have lost to you Here's the chance."

"Uh! Yes, is it... sorry..." Vulcan was a little embarrassed.

"However, if we meet on the field today, let's finish the duel that was not held last year in one breath, Kiyoshi Teppei." Iwamura glanced at Muyoshi and said with a smile.

"Well, please be merciful." Muji looked at Yancun and other people in Zhengbang who had left, and said with a rather embarrassed smile.

After separating from Zhengbang, everyone also went to do warm-up exercises separately. Seirin played behind Zhengbang, so he was not in a hurry.

Looking at the crowd shouting around the court and the people running on the court, Vulcan involuntarily raised his hand to touch the ring hanging on his chest, and fell silent with all his thoughts.

"It looks like I've been thinking about it since just now." Heizi suddenly appeared with No. 2 in his arms, and he jumped up.

"It's nothing... just remembering what happened in the United States." Vulcan sighed and said after calming his frightened heart.

"Does it have anything to do with Vulcan-kun's ring?" Heizi looked at the silver men's ring on Vulcan's neck and asked curiously, "Because Vulcan-kun has been touching the ring when he is thinking about things, and since the beginning Bring it with you when you come to Seirin."

Vulcan was silent for a while, and after a little hesitation, he still said slowly: "This is... a gift from... a partner... who played basketball together when we were over there."

Seeing Vulcan's unnatural expression, Heizi said calmly, "...it seems like a very good partner."

"In short, it's hard to explain in one sentence. Uh, let me say something first, don't get me wrong, he and I are just friends." Vulcan immediately emphasized.

"... Lord Vulcan, you don't have 300 taels of silver here..." Heizi blinked, touched the head of No. 2 in his arms, and No. 2 licked his fingers.

"Hey, long-winded..." Vulcan also realized that his emphasis just now was a bit weird, so he turned his head and said while walking: "Although we are close friends, it seems that some aspects don't get along well... He taught me basketball. And he is also a good opponent who can learn from each other... Seeing the street basketball here, I think of him a little bit. Because no matter what, I still want to fight him again... But I also don't want to meet him again..."

Seeing Vulcan looking up at the sky in remembrance, Heizi opened his eyes slightly.It is only now that I realize that even though he is a partner, it seems that he has never understood Vulcan's affairs at all. In comparison, Vulcan knows much more about him, about miracles and other things... Vulcan said What kind of person would that best friend be...

"Ah... I'm hungry." Just as Heizi was thinking, Vulcan suddenly turned around like a deflated ball, scratching his head, and walked outside the park, "Let's eat."

"Hey! You've just eaten! You big eater!" Hearing Vulcan's words, Jiang Qi, who was still warming up, said angrily.

"Well, I'm hungry too, let's go, let's eat." Muji echoed Vulcan, hooked Jiang Qi's shoulder at the same time, and said to Fukuda with a smile: "let's go."

So the five people ran to the restaurant in a mighty way. When they returned to the competition venue again, Zhengbang's competition was over.

"It's all Vulcan's fault! Zhengbang's match is over!" Jiang Qi shouted sadly.

"It doesn't matter whether you look at it or not, anyway, Zhengbang must win...!" Vulcan said without interest, and glanced at the scoreboard at the same time. After seeing that Zhengbang lost by twice the point difference, he stared in surprise. Big eyes.

"How come...Zhengbang lost?" Cheng Lin was a little surprised, after all, they all knew how powerful Zhengbang was.In order to win against Zhengbang, he tried his best to win by a narrow margin.And such Zhengbang was easily defeated by twice the point difference.This is really unacceptable...

"...Why..." And when Vulcan moved his eyes from the scoreboard to the field, his pupils tightened suddenly, and he muttered in amazement and disbelief, "Why...why He'll be here..."

Heizi was also taken aback when he heard Vulcan's words. If he didn't guess wrong, the "he" in Vulcan's mouth should be the best friend Vulcan mentioned just now.But now Vulcan's eyes are only focused on one person, that is holding a basketball in his hand, wearing a white T-shirt, wearing a ring of the same style as Vulcan but slightly smaller around his neck, and covering half of his eyes with his hair , another handsome man with a tear mole under the corner of his eye.

"Himuro Tatsuya!!" Looking at the familiar face, Vulcan shouted in surprise.

After hearing Vulcan's voice, the handsome man moved Realization to Vulcan's side, and said in a little surprise, "Big me!? I didn't expect to meet you here. What a surprise."

"Surprise? You use that poker face to talk about surprises, which is really unacceptable." Vulcan's expression was a little stern.

"Really? I was really pleasantly surprised. I didn't deliberately hide my feelings, but this can be regarded as a kind of expression." The man called Ice Room said calmly,

Seeing the weird atmosphere between Vulcan and Ice Room, Heizi felt a little uncomfortable.

"That..." At this moment, Muji interjected, "Is it Himuro-kun? A friend of Vulcan?"

"Well. Strictly speaking, I'm not his friend. If I have to say it, I'm probably brother." Ice Room smiled quietly, but that smile made people feel a little cold.

"Ah..." Vulcan did not deny it, and then told everyone what happened to him in the United States.

After listening to the story between Vulcan and Himuro, everyone was silent, not because they didn't want to speak, but because they didn't know what to say.

"It was really a pity at that time. But I also returned to Japan this year. Now I am in Yangquan High School. I thought that maybe I would meet in a competition someday, but today is just a chance." Himuro looked at the fire. God, with cold eyes, "Come and fulfill the agreement at that time. If you lose to me, the ring will be returned to me. You can't run away anymore, big me."

"I..." Vulcan obviously became agitated when he heard Bingshi's words, "I don't want to be with you..."

However, before the words were finished, Vulcan's face was slapped by a meat ball, and there was an attack with claws along the way.Heizi was hugging No. 2 and asked No. 2 to slap Vulcan severely.

"It hurts!!! Heizi, you... number 2?!" Vulcan frowned.

"Number 2 is very unhappy with Vulcan-lord's attitude, and I am the same." Heizi still maintained a deadpan expression, and said calmly, "I have already understood what happened, so I can tell you about mine. Any idea? I think, no matter what, it’s not good for Vulcan-kun who kept his hand at the end.”

Seeing Vulcan's surprised look, Heizi paused for a moment, and continued: "Although at that time, if he won at that time, he would not be able to become brothers with Himuro-kun, and Vulcan-kun didn't want to take advantage of others, but he really still loves his favorite basketball. You wouldn't be happy if someone put you in the water. If it's Kagami-kun, then Kagami-kun would think the same way. And, even if you're not a brother, you're still a friend, right?"

Staring blankly at Heizi, the past events kept flashing in his mind, Vulcan clenched the ring on his chest, and after the silence, he looked at the ice room with firm eyes and said: "Ah, yes. Thank you, Heizi .I have made up my mind. If I want to fight against you today, no matter what happens, I will go all out, Tatsuya."

"Ah, that's right." Bingshi smiled in satisfaction, his eyes softened a little, then he looked at Heizi and asked, "By the way, sorry, who are you?"

"It's the first time we meet, I'm Heizi Tetsuya." Heizi introduced himself very politely.

"Ah, that's it, so it's you..." Himuro looked Kuroko up and down, snorted, looked at Vulcan and said, "You found an interesting teammate, big me."

"You know about Heizi?!" Vulcan asked in surprise.

"Well, although there are not many, there is a guy in my team who is always talking about Kuroko, so it feels very familiar." Himuro turned around, "Maybe there is a chance to meet him soon Well, that guy always gets lost inexplicably. It's as worrying as a child." After a soft laugh, Ice Room shook his hand and prepared to go to the next game.

When the final match came, it was, as expected, against Seirin and Himuro's team.

"Please give me your advice." The two teams stood at the center line and saluted each other.

Seeing Vulcan and Heizi taking their positions, Himuro adjusted his wristbands and frowned.Although it was a bit severe, there shouldn't be any major problems. Moreover, whether that sunspot was exactly what Dun said was still to be verified.

"Vulcan-kun, there is one thing I would like to ask. Are Himuro-kun and Vulcan-kun about the same strength in junior high school?" Heizi asked calmly while standing on the PG position, looking at Himuro-kun opposite.

"Yeah." Vulcan affirmed.

"Although saying this may make Vulcan-kun angry, Himuro-kun seems to have an aura similar to Miracles. I don't think Vulcan-kun can defeat him alone." Heizi said quite seriously.

"Hmph. I thought you were going to say something." Vulcan smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes, "I've noticed it a long time ago. So, let's go all out from the beginning."

"I think so too." Heizi set up his position, waiting for Vulcan to jump the ball.

However, after the referee threw the ball high, neither Ice Room nor Vulcan heard the exclamation from around, and then a big hand reached out to catch the ball, and at the same time, a delicious stick was slightly A little later, it fell from the air on the basketball and stopped firmly.

"I'm sorry, but can you wait a moment, please?" A somewhat lazy voice sounded.

"It's late, Don." Ice room looked at the visitor and sighed dissatisfied.

"I'm sorry, I'm lost." The person who came did not have any sincerity to apologize, but just said very ordinary.

Heizi looked at the visitor who was much taller than him, and after a brief silence, he still said, "Long time no see, Ziyuan-kun."

Hearing what Heizi said, Vulcan immediately showed a surprised expression.If it is the person Kuroko greets, then it must be the Generation of Miracles.

"Ala—isn't this little Heizi?" Ziyuan looked down at Heizi standing next to him, and said with a smile, "It still hasn't changed at all, that kind of serious eyes that people can't see through." As he spoke, he raised his hand and slowly reached out to Heizi, "It's so serious that I want to destroy you completely..."
