shining moment

After the black and white alarm clock pointed to four o'clock, it rang for a while.

The awakened girl struggled to get up.

The curtains were drawn, but it was still pitch black outside.

Before fully waking up, he habitually walked to the bathroom.

The girl had thick dark circles on her face, and she slapped her face with cold water in her hands, trying to make herself more awake.

The cold touch spread along the fingers and spread to the face, and he looked at his girl in the mirror, showing a little helpless expression.

The energy-saving lamps in the apartment emit soft white light, which complements the quiet night in this bustling and lonely city.

Take out some food prepared yesterday from the refrigerator, heat it in a pot, and after a while, the fragrance of the food will be exuded.

Not long after, the early-rising black-haired girl hurried out with her luggage packed the night before.

The morning sun has just risen, and the red light shines on the towering city of Tokyo.

The number of pedestrians on the road has not yet increased, and the sanitation workers who have just finished sweeping the street not far away can be vaguely seen fading away in sight.

When the sky was still a little reddish, Yasuda Keito took his assistant and Yasuda Mori on the first train of the Tokaido Shinkansen to Nara.

TOKIO's "AMBITIOUS JAPAN! 》, the assistant sitting opposite was constantly reporting the schedule and work to Yasuda Keito.

The Shinkansen running smoothly on the track passes through several ramps from time to time, and then turns around a few bends. From the time it leaves Tokyo, you can see the scenery outside the window. The city’s reinforced concrete gradually becomes more green. .

Along the way, Yasuda only said to his sister once, "After the trip to Nara is over, you can go back to Kanagawa directly."

Nara County, which is about to go, has a large area of ​​forests and mountains. Looking at the ever-changing scenery in front of her, the girl's mood seems to become more relaxed and happy.

The sky was completely bright, and the blue-haired boy in the basketball gym had been practicing three-pointers for an unknown how long, and his dark red T-shirt was soaked with sweat.

For the future winter games, the blue-haired boy practiced for most of the day in the Xiangbei Basketball Hall every day.

And for the National Convention in the fall, the boy also needs to play practice games with other Kanagawa team members from time to time.

Because this year's Autumn National Sports Conference allows each county to form a star team, that is to say, each county can choose the best players from different teams in the county to form an all-star team and compete with players from other counties. team play.

The young man who was the MVP in junior high school and had an outstanding performance in the summer national competition naturally received the invitation. The young man thought it was an excellent opportunity and readily agreed.

It seemed that all the time was once again occupied by basketball, and the time passed day by day.

Nara's sense of history and cultural landscape attracts many tourists.

On this piece of land with 60% forest coverage, the air to breathe seems to be extraordinarily fresh.

Because of the abundance of trees, Nara, where the wood product manufacturing industry is more developed, can see all kinds of wood carvings everywhere.

Walking on the road, sometimes you can meet a few walking deer, shuttling among pedestrians.

Some had tiny antlers, others had their antlers sawn off.

In Nara, in order to protect the safety of tourists and prevent the surrounding trees from being damaged by antlers, the traditional activity of "sawing antlers" is held on Sundays in the first half of October every year. Those sawn off antlers are probably the origin of this event. Leftovers.

It can be said that Nara is a good tourist attraction.

However, Yasuda Mori, who came to Nara, did not have much free time to watch and have fun.

A few evenings later, the teenager who had already had dinner received a call at home, "Moses Moses."

"That, it's me." The girl transmitted the urgent tone through the microphone to the boy's home in Kanagawa.

"Senyou?!" The boy didn't expect to hear that long-lost voice from the other end of the phone, and couldn't help being a little surprised.

The girl said softly: "I... probably will be able to return to Kanagawa tomorrow."

The boy glanced at the black and white cat at his feet and said, "Then I'll bring the sushi back the afternoon of the day after tomorrow."

It seems that because he heard his name, Sushi raised his small forelimbs, and rubbed the boy's trousers with curious eyes.

"Okay, well, I'm now..." The girl who wanted to continue talking suddenly sped up her speech and said, "See you the day after tomorrow." After that, she hung up the phone hastily.

After staring at the phone with the busy tone in his hand for a long time, the boy touched his short dark blue hair, then picked up the cat that had been rubbing against him, and shook his limp body in his hand, "Hey, the day after tomorrow, I will put the cat in my hands." You send it back. Now, take you to take a shower!"

In the evening of the next day, under the flaming red clouds drifting into the distant sky, the girl with a suitcase returned to her home in Kanagawa alone.

After placing the luggage in a corner of the floor, the girl sitting on the sofa felt that every muscle in her body was sore. Once the nerves were relaxed, it seemed that she could no longer cheer up.

After taking a brief shower in the bathroom and hastily drying her hair, the girl who hadn't had a good rest for a long time lay down on the bed and fell asleep until the next afternoon.

Slightly opened his eyes, it was already 2 o'clock in the afternoon the next day.

The girl got up in a hurry, and was busy again.

Not long after, the doorbell rang in due course.

Standing outside the door was a boy who hadn't seen him for a long time, looking as usual, holding a ball of black and white fur balls in his hands.

It seems that because of the small animal in his arms, he is more gentle than usual.

When the boy saw the girl, he blurted out and sighed in a low voice: "You've lost weight."

"My brother asked me to help, so I don't have much time to rest."

"Didn't you take a good rest during your absence?"

"Well.. I stay at my brother's place of work all the time during the day, and I can't take care of rest when I'm busy. I thought I could live with my brother at night, but it's actually a new one-person apartment. I still live alone. Probably my brother helped me find the nearest place, but I’m used to living alone. I followed my brother on a business trip in Nara some time ago, and I just came back from there.”

The boy secretly thought in his heart, it really is something that strict brother would do.

"Do you want to go to Tokyo again?"

"Well, fortunately, school is about to start soon, so I don't need to go there for the time being." Speaking of this, the girl smiled slightly.

After being put down, sushi always likes to circle around the two of them.

The erect white tail sways from side to side from time to time.

Warm and intoxicating on a summer afternoon.

At night, the girl was lying on the bed staring at the white ceiling in a daze. Because she had slept for a long time before, she became sleepless at night.

The boy under the lamp didn't know what was in the paper bag in front of him, as if he was afraid of damaging it, he carefully took out a wood carving ornament from the blue-brown paper bag.

Two symmetrical wooden white rabbits smile at each other and their foreheads touch each other. They are sculpted to be lifelike. Both hands are holding a carved, round and painted very realistic basketball. The ears of the two rabbits are painted into sky blue. The clean blue and white are combined with the texture of natural wood. The exquisite handmade decoration is a gift brought back by the girl from Nara. The wooden base of the decoration is engraved with the boy's name.

The young man looked at the wood carving, wondering if he was a little distracted because he saw the basketball.

Such nights seem to have the temperature of the day, a warm touch, rather than the coldness of the night as cold as water.

During the day, the commercial streets of Kanagawa are almost full of young people.

Basketball players who are undergoing high-intensity training every day consume their sneakers very quickly.

After a day of training, Fujima and his team came to the shoe store they frequented together.

The shoe store is full of different brands and all kinds of sports shoes, which are neatly placed in the store. The bright light makes the shoe store cleaner and tidier.

A long soft stool is placed in the center of the store, and several square shoe mirrors are placed in the corner, which is convenient for customers who try on shoes.

"Boss, please recommend some sneakers."

"It's everyone from Xiangyang University, come in and have a look at the latest sneakers." The owner of the shoe store is a tall, thin, middle-aged man with a beard.

"In order to prepare for the winter games, the sneakers wear out unexpectedly fast." The members of Xiangyang came to the store and began to choose sneakers.

"Yes, you can try it on casually. If you are a regular customer, I will give you a [-]% discount!"

The owner of the basketball shop was a basketball player when he was young and had a basketball dream.

Today, when I see those young people who are chasing their dreams again, it is inevitable to feel a little pity for their talents.

There are not many stores that buy sports shoes, and it is even rarer to meet enthusiastic bosses who have played basketball and can chat about basketball topics from time to time.

Therefore, not only Xiangyang players, but also many other basketball players will frequent this shoe store.

But if they knew that a few weeks ago, Sakuragi Hanamichi in Shonhoku bought the Jordan limited-edition sneakers in the owner's collection for two or three yen, I don't know how they would feel.

After a while of selection, the members of Xiangyang bought a lot of basketball shoes.

Even after the discount, the owner of the shoe store still made a small profit from the Xiangyang team.

The national competition had just ended, and because of the successive competitions that followed, the basketball teams did not dare to slack off.

Of course, compared to the winter competition, the upcoming autumn national competition is getting closer day by day.

All the star players from Kanagawa, although they are outstanding in their respective teams, it will take time for them to work together as a team to compete against strong opponents from other prefectures.

The author has something to say: The Tokaido Shinkansen passes through Tokyo and Nara. The announcement sound on the Shinkansen is the music "AMBITIOUSJAPAN!" by TOKIO, a Japanese rock group. "

Nara’s one knife carving is relatively famous, and the industries related to wood products are also relatively developed. This is the reason why the rabbit wood carving will be written in this chapter. In fact, when I started writing, I originally wanted to write a wood carving of a white rabbit. Later, because of Considering that Mitsui is a Gemini, it was changed to two rabbits.After finishing writing the result, why does it feel like implying that the two rabbits represent Mitsui and Yasuda? Well, that's how it is anyway.As for this cute wooden white rabbit, perhaps An Tiansen happened to see a booth where there were finished carved small animals when he passed by a woodcarving booth, so he asked the stall owner to carve it for her according to such requirements. Such a small ornament, of course, is when Yasuda Keito didn't find it in his free time.

In fact, I also mentioned before that the three major basketball events, the summer national competition, IH, have already finished playing. Before the winter game, there will be another autumn game, which is the National Sports Conference. In fact, I really want to write about them playing the All-Star Game What, unfortunately, my skill in writing basketball games is not good, maybe I will just briefly mention it... If there is a chance for characters like Xiandao and Fujima in SD, I will write more in later chapters Some of their normal life in weekdays!

The new characters mentioned in the first two chapters, Sumitomo Tsugami and Shigaraki, will appear in future chapters.

Even New Year's Eve is still spent alone in code words, happy new year everyone!

Guys, leave your comments below each chapter.
