[Black Basket] Shooting a Lover

The first time Koji Shimizu saw Sugawara Chiaki was at the opening ceremony of Teiko's first year of junior high school. Under the shadow of the man, he lowered his head and couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.

At this time, the thin bangs on the forehead of the red-haired boy swayed slightly in the wind, intertwining with the girl's long black hair fluttering in the wind for a moment.

"It is said that these two are childhood sweethearts, one has always been No.1, and the other has always been No.2."

"Really? Is it the legendary 'childhood sweetheart' who grew up together and knew everything?"

"Then the relationship between these two people must be very bad. Look, one is No.1 and the other is No.2. A girl with such high self-esteem... If it were me, I would cut off contact with the man."

"What, the relationship between the two of them is very good."

……

The content of the teenager's speech was very brilliant, so brilliant that it was impossible for a student of this age to come up with it.His aura is also calm and kind. Just standing there, almost all the students in the school can only look up at his figure illuminated by the sun.

When it was Chiaki Sugawara's turn to give a speech, there were a few boys who had just entered the school and were in the midst of their youth commotion in the audience. Their movements were not particularly loud, but they were not so small that they could be ignored.

But she didn't stop her speech, but turned a page of the speech book in her hand, and continued reading with a flat face.

Seeing that the school leaders and student representatives on the stage did not take any action to stop them, those boys became more courageous, and their noisy voices became louder and louder. rare.

Why is she not responding?Girls will be very angry when they hear such dirty words.

Shimizu Koji thought so suspiciously at the time.

Soon, however, his question was answered.

——Because our world has nothing to do with hers, she doesn't need to care.

Both her, Sugawara Chiaki, and him, Akashi Seijuro, ignored the obscenities of those boys, and let the head teacher of the class to which the boys belonged frown and stepped forward from the end of the line to pull them out of the line.

Of course, the young female head teacher who just took office didn't stop them, and the head teachers of other classes also stepped forward to help, which turned the situation out of control.

Really bad opening ceremony.

Although Shimizu Koji thought so, he didn't have the guts to say it.He is cowardly by nature, he is used to being bullied, and he bears everything silently.When encountering this kind of thing, he endured it as much as he could, and endured it even if he couldn't.

Fortunately, the scene was still under control in the end, but the people who controlled the scene were not the class guides, but a red-haired boy with an elegant temperament who wore a white school uniform and received an excellent education since he was a child.

He must have heard it, for sure, otherwise he would not have stepped down to stop it.

When the tutors and the boys saw each other, some boys said that they wanted to taste the taste of Chiaki Sugawara, who looked like a good student with fluttering hair on the stage.

——It’s really a childhood sweetheart, and they have a very good relationship.

The opening ceremony is over.

Next is the cliché self-introduction of the class students, and the last is to leave time for the students to report to the club for free activities.

Shimizu Koji wants to join the basketball club. He loves this sport that is completely different from his personality - playing basketball.It was precisely because he knew that Teiguang's basketball team was very strong that he applied for the examination at Teiguang.

The meaning of his god light is only for playing basketball, he believes so firmly.

other reasons?No, that's not the reason.

On the way to the basketball club, a few boys who liked to bully him since elementary school stopped him. Faced with the violence of the boys, Koji Shimizu, helpless, knelt on the ground, his shoulders trembling, tears streaming down his face Strings flowed out of the eye sockets.

"Hahahahaha! Let me just say it! This guy is very easy to bully, and when he is bullied, he cries like a girl." Seeing him crying, the boys became even more excited.

There is nothing more comforting than the crying of a boy who was bullied by himself. This is a group of perverts.

Yes, Shimizu Koji knew it all the time, but he couldn't control his desire to cry: it was involuntary, it was a physiological reflex.

My mother has been laid off, and my father has also been included in the scope of dismissal investigation by the unit.After Japan's bubble economy, under the depression of Japan's economic situation, countless workers lose their jobs every day, but they are just the most ordinary wage earners. All they can do is struggle to survive in this world.

It is precisely because of this that he doesn't want his family to know about being bullied: he doesn't want his mother who is still young but has gray hair to worry about it, and he doesn't want to worry about whether he can keep his job the next day. The father who was sighing and sighing was worried, he didn't want the whole family to worry about this little thing about him!

"What, this is the end?" Koji Shimizu, who was sobbing and didn't cry anymore, quickly attracted the impatient eyes of the boys, kicking the pebbles under his feet boredly, and the boys smacked their lips: "Cry louder Come on, or I'll go to your house and beat you up!"

Waving his fists threateningly, the aggressive gazes of the boys scared Shimizu Koji to jump up, but fell to the ground under the force of inertia.

"Hahahaha!" The boys laughed unscrupulously, and this presumptuous voice clearly indicated that this purely accidental "sideshow" made the boys very happy.

——Enough is enough...it doesn't matter anymore.

Lying on the spot in self-abandonment, covering his eyes with his hands, blocking the sunlight that penetrated through the gaps in the green belt of the campus, Shimizu Koji's body felt the thorns of the sun hitting his body coldly.

"Boys should be stronger."

Just when he was in such despair and fear, thinking that everything was over, the owner of that clear and gentle female voice extended a helping hand to him with a smile on his face.

"Shimizu Koji-kun, please take my hand and stand up with your own ideas and strength."

"What, what did you say..." Before he had time to react to what was happening now, facing the oncoming sunlight, he stared blankly at the girl who cast a shadow in front of him.

I didn't expect, I really didn't expect to meet her at all.

"Hey! What are you talking about?!" The boys who reacted one step earlier than him were dissatisfied: "This guy is our toy, if you want to help him, do you want to replace him as our toy? See you She looks so pretty, could it be that she was not enough to be filled with by those boys just now? I want to have some fun."

no respond.

Chiaki Sugawara did not respond.

Under her eyes full of encouragement and comfort, Shimizu Koji stood up with tears streaming down his face: So many people passed by here, but no one reached out to help, only this person helped him.

Really... Enough is enough, such a cowardly me is not even as good as a girl.

I don't know what he was afraid of, the boy who had left behind such a string of words earlier stared at Sugawara Chiaki hesitantly for a long while, then walked away silently unwillingly.

"Thank you, thank you, Chiaki Sugawara." The blushing Koji Shimizu widened his already big eyes uncomfortably, and thanked earnestly: "But, those boys will trouble you, so is it really okay? ?”

"This is something I decided on my own, and I have the awareness to take on everything for it." Replying to Koji Shimizu's worry with a gentle smile, Chiaki Sugawara bowed deeply to him: "Thank you very much for your support. My worry, Koji-kun Shimizu."

"..." He should be the one thanking her.

She left just like that, and not far away, the red-haired boy was standing quietly waiting for her.

Standing together, the two are really a good match. Although the two are only twelve or thirteen years old, they look really good for each other.

Staring blankly at the backs of the two, it took a long time before Shimizu Koji felt that something was wrong.

"Why does Sugawara know my name?"

He didn't have time to think about this question, the hands of the watch on his wrist had turned to a bad time, Koji Shimizu, who didn't want to miss the basketball club entrance exam, rushed to the basketball club in a panic.

He had made an appointment with Mr. Heizi to join the club, but when something like this happened on the way, Mr. Heizi must be very worried about him.

The card ran into the gymnasium at just the right time, and saw Tetsuya Kuroko, whom ordinary people would never see at a glance, Shimizu Koji trotted to Kuroko's direction: "Sorry, Kuroko-kun, I suddenly felt a little thirsty on the way, I just went to buy a bottle of drink, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting."

"It's okay." Heizi smiled lightly: "I've already got the number plate for you, and the next step is the entrance exam, let's work hard together."

"okay!"

The Teikou Basketball Division is divided into the First Army, the Second Army, and the Third Army. After a fairly strict examination, Kuroko stayed in the Third Army, Shimizu Koji stayed in the Second Army, and four people remained in the First Army.

"Did you just talk about the first army? It's a lie, right?"

"Didn't you say that no one in the first grade has ever entered the first army?"

Ignoring the disbelieving voices of the boys, the supervisor read out the list.

"No. 8 Aomine Daiki, No. 11 Midorima Shintaro, No. 23 Murasakihara Atsushi, and No. 29 Akashi Seijuro."

Teiko's training was really intense. The first day of training made Kuroko feel sick to the point of nausea. Standing on the second floor with Koji Shimizu and watching the players practice on the first floor, Kuroko sincerely joined in for himself. I feel happy in the basketball department.

"Qingshui-kun, you're a little distracted today." Finally, the churning feeling in his stomach stopped, and Heizi, who was carrying a schoolbag on one shoulder, asked a little worriedly, "Did something happen today?"

"Ah, that—" I don't want to tell Kuroko about being bullied, but Koji Shimizu, who understands that Kuroko's anger is terribly frightening, hesitates to change the topic, but with a random look, he catches a glimpse of the person standing not far in front Chiaki Sugawara.

The other party also saw him, and cast a polite and gentle look at him.

"Hello, Koji-kun Shimizu."

"Ah, hello, Chiaki Sugawara." The other party used honorifics in a completely habitual tone. Koji Shimizu, who was not used to using such formal honorifics, was a little nervous, and Kuroko's eyes were on the two of them without any waves. Spin around.

"Mr. Qingshui, I still have something to do, so let's take a step first."

"No, things are not what you think, Mr. Heizi."

"Isn't that what I thought?" the blue-haired boy asked suspiciously.

"..." Abandoning communication with Heizi, Shimizu Koji tried his best to think about the topic, so as not to make the atmosphere awkward: "Well, is Chiaki Sugawara-san coming to the basketball club for something?"

"I'm waiting for someone."

——Isn't it waiting for you?

Kuroko's gaze was open and frank so that Shimizu Koji became angry from embarrassment. He wanted to say something, but he didn't have a chance to say it.

Because the person she was waiting for had already come out.

The handsome red-haired boy was walking in their direction after saying goodbye to the green-haired boy politely.

Momentarily dumbfounded, Koji Shimizu tightened the shoulder strap of his schoolbag.

... can't compare.
