[Comprehensive] Kazuya's happy life

The background is of course the basketball arena.

The characters are four men and two women.

Divide into two teams and stand facing each other on both sides of the center line.

The members of each team are one woman and two men, and the story that is happening is clear at a glance.

——This is a three-on-three mini game.

Kazuya saw that there was nothing wrong with the content. If this was Nozaki's inspiration when he watched Terashima's training in the basketball hall last night, it would be considered normal.

However, starting from the second frame of the screen, the direction of the plot is a bit not so good.

"Bitch, a guy like you who doesn't understand anything and smiles all day long is the most annoying! Just wait for me, tonight is the time for you to kneel down and admit your mistakes to me!"

...Wait a minute, although this girl is heroic and charming, she has a feminine charm. Although she has short hair, she doesn't look like a tomboy. The pampered temper doesn't seem too annoying, but what's the matter with this slightly weird and inexplicable familiarity!

"Uh... It's not a big deal to kneel down and admit your mistakes? If you really beat me, son of a bitch, if you really want me to kneel, then kneel..."

... It's not a big deal to kneel down and admit your mistakes, girl, how big is your heart?And as long as you lose to the opponent and the opponent tells you to kneel, do you really want to kneel? !Why can't you think about it so much!

And the girl's smile is too contagious and hearty even if it is drawn, isn't it? !A strong sense of rough nerves and natural sense of sight rushes to my face!

Coupled with the two obvious "a son" and "t son", it really makes it difficult for Kazuo to guess who the real prototypes of these two girls are.

The expression on his face can no longer be described as "delicate"——

Although I have long known that Nozaki has a big brain...

But I didn't expect it to be so big!

Should I be glad that in Nozaki's eyes, I am still the [male] (emphasis) protagonist?Anyway, it's not like these two, even the gender is wrong...

_(:3)∠)_

↑At this moment, Kazuya really wants to do this action to express his complicated feelings that he has no words to express.

He silently closed the sketchbook.

--no.

I don't have the courage to read any more.

He continued to hand the notebook back to Nozaki silently.

The tall boy with a tough face calmly reached out to take back his sketchbook.

"The observation activities of the basketball project have almost been carried out."

He put the notebook away, ate the last bite of grilled fish on the plate, raised his eyes to meet Kazuya's as he spoke:

"Can I go to Uesugi to watch the baseball club's practice next?"

"...Uh!" Kazuya was startled and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but seeing Nozaki's pair didn't have any special meaning. In short, his eyes were very calm and calm, but when he looked closely, he found that there was something faint in them. The pleading eyes reminded me of my deliberate avoidance of him back then...

So if you refuse, you can't say anything.

"...Okay." He sighed helplessly, and finally he could only nod in agreement.

The training tasks of the Mingqing Baseball Club during the camp period are very heavy.

The long-distance running in the morning and afternoon every day has increased the length of three kilometers more than the original daily training.

In the morning, there are bat swings, throwing and catching, and some basic exercises such as stretching, sprinting, and calisthenics. In the afternoon, Kazuya and Tatsuya alternately cooperate with all the players to do batting training.

And after dinner is over, Kazuya and Tatsuya will be the pitchers respectively, and all the players will be divided into two groups for two to three rounds of mini confrontation. When the training ends every day, it will be nearly ten o'clock, and they will return to the room. All that's left is the strength to take a shower.

He also finished his long-distance running task in the afternoon panting heavily.

He walked to the sidelines, supported his knees and slowly calmed down his breathing. By the way, he took a look at Nozaki, who was sitting on the sidelines of the court, carefully observing the movements and demeanor of everyone on the court. Seeing that there are a few more baseball players in his sketchbook that he is familiar with but pretending to be a girl, it is better to sigh, his hard work and professionalism as a professional cartoonist——

You know, for several days in a row, Nozaki has maintained the same routine as their baseball club. He gets up at a little past six o'clock every morning, and doesn't go back to his room until ten o'clock in the evening. When he was able to rely on spotlights for lighting, Nozaki was still sitting on the sidelines concentrating on writing and drawing, and Kazuya was also worried that his vision would be affected by this...

"Kazuya? What are you looking at?"

A shadow suddenly enveloped the top of the head, followed by a chill on the neck...

Kazuya raised his hand, and pulled off the wet towel that Tatsuya casually covered his head:

"elder brother?"

"The supervisor said that after a short break, we're going to start throwing ball practice soon?" Tatsuya held a bottle of sports drink in his hand, took a few big gulps, and seeing Kazuya turned his head to look at him, he threw the bottle into the cup. In his arms:

"It's your turn to pitch first today."

"Oh." He also nodded, raised his head and drank the remaining sports drink in one gulp.

He casually threw the empty bottle back to Tatsuya:

"Brother will be my first opponent?"

"Hey! I just ran eight kilometers!"

"It's the same with me."

"I'm going to be a pitcher later, one against ten, okay?"

"Me too. And it's earlier than my brother, and I have less time to rest."

"...Since this is the case, I will never let you throw three strikes in a row! I will show you at least one hit, you bastard!"

"I'll wait and see."

"..." What's going on? Why did Brother Black Heart suddenly start to provoke him again!

Tatsuya felt tired.

He didn't do anything to tease (?) Kazuya today... right?

Depressedly, he turned around and handed the empty drink bottle and the towel on his shoulders to Konan who was smiling and waiting beside the two brothers. Tatsuya frowned and ran to the side to get the bat.

Behind him, Kazuya slowly wiped his sweaty cheeks with the towel he threw to him earlier——

"Today is also full of energy, brother."

He smiles.

Nozaki's visit lasted several days, and then moved from the baseball field to the adjacent tennis court.

Kazuya originally wanted to ask if it was necessary for him to say hello to Atobe, who was elected as the head of the Tennis Club of Heidei High School as a freshman immediately after entering high school, and let Nozaki enter the court for a closer inspection, but Nozaki declined His kindness—

"In addition to the players, I also want to observe some other more interesting things from the sidelines."

That's what he said at the time.

Kazuya didn't know what Nozakikou meant by "some other more interesting things" at first, until one day Supervisor Nishio changed the long-distance running route of the baseball department, and a team of them passed by the tennis court and saw the large group of generals on the court The surrounding area was filled with water, and there were figures of girls cheering and screaming from time to time.

His eyes wandered around the crowd for a while, and as expected, in a corner that was close to the crowd and relatively safe, he found Nozaki who was observing the girls while writing like a fly...

Kazuya silently turned his gaze away.

——I don’t know why I suddenly feel a little bad.

What kind of "interesting things" Nozaki discovered from these girls, Kazuya thought he really didn't want to know at all.

He quickened his pace and led his teammates to leave the area at an accelerated pace.

As Nozaki's observation target gradually changed from tennis boys to soccer boys, swimmers, volleyball boys, and kendo boys... the days of the camp also passed quickly day after day amidst fatigue and enrichment.

Because the summer competitions of various sports are held at different times, slowly, the clubs in the hotel are decreasing one by one.

Basketball can be regarded as one of the events that start the finals earlier.

After bidding farewell to Nozaki and Terajima, Kazuya greeted Aomine's farewell somewhat unexpectedly and as expected.

"If there are no accidents, sooner or later I will face that guy Kise."

Aomine, who was still unmotivated, as if he couldn't wake up at all, was yawning, and said this to Kazuya as if he didn't care much.

"Let's say it first, although I admit that that guy is one of the few opponents who can let me have a good fight, but the one who wins in the end will only be me."

"Because 'I am the only one who can beat me'?" He also raised his eyebrows.

"...＝＝" Qingfeng was rarely silent, because he wasn't sure if he just heard some unfriendly irony from the tone of this young man who was always gentle and easy to get along with.

However, Kazuya had suppressed all his emotions at this time.

"Then, good luck to you, Aomine-kun." He had his usual warm smile on his face.

"Good luck?" Qingfeng sneered, "Let's leave that kind of thing to that magic stick in Midorima."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and strode away, until he walked a long way, then turned his back to He Ye and waved casually:

"Bye-Bye."

Kazuya frowned slightly at his back, but soon relaxed again——

Now is not the time to worry about other people's affairs.

mid-December.

There are less than ten days before the start of the third round of the regional preliminaries.
