[Black Basket] Star Trail

"Women's 500 meters, last call. Repeat, women's 500 meters, last call."

"We finally called." Kanzawa Jizheng poked the girl with his elbow, and she buried her face in her knees, as if she was about to cry out of reluctance.But he knew that it was impossible for her to be so low because of such a small matter. A more reliable guess was that she was too ashamed, so the black-haired boy wantonly showed his malice—in a teasing way. "Do you want to change your spikes? Then you can run faster."

"... Long-winded." The girl suddenly raised her head and almost bumped into the boy's face. Kanzawa Kie Hui gave him a vicious look, and although she was still reluctant, she still stood up. "I went."

"Slow down!" Kanzawa Jizheng's voice from behind was too clear, and the gloating could not be more obvious, "I'm here waiting for your good news!"

The brown-haired girl paused in her footsteps, but did not fight back after all, but walked away silently.

Kanzawa Norie walked through the corridor in the first row of the stands, the red-haired boy was sitting there alone, the left and right seats were empty, but he didn't look lonely.If you have to say it, no one wants to disturb him.

The other generations of miracles were all scattered in their respective classes, and they had no intention of sitting together at all.When the girl walked by, Akashi Seijuro was drinking water and took a look at her outfit.The girl was wearing Teiko's sportswear, a light blue and white T-shirt, sweatpants of the same color, and the black running shoes on her feet, the same pair that Kanzawa Norisha was wearing now.Only then did the red-haired boy realize that she rarely wore this type of clothes.

Akashi Seijuro put down the water bottle and said lightly, "Come on."

Kanzawa Norie touched her hairband subconsciously, looking a little embarrassed, "...um."

The girl walked down the stairs, and someone sat beside Akashi Seijuro. The red-haired boy glanced at him. It was Kanazawa Norisha, with rose red eyes like the girl's, squinting at Akashi, with a narrow smile in his eyes, " Take a good look with those eyes."

"The next thing you see is probably the side of Kanzawa Norie that you don't want to be seen the most."

The 500 meters is the longest event in the sports meeting, and it is also the track and field event with the longest distance.Including the girl herself, there are only seven women in the women's group, and the probability of winning the prize is about half and half.The only thing that Kanzawa Norie is lucky about is that because the race is too long, the attention of the crowd is lowered. Even if he runs last, not many people will notice.The girl did a little warm-up on the sidelines, and took a deep breath before stepping on the runway.Even though she knew she would not be top three, she still had to run with all her strength. This is basic respect.

Kanzawa Norie was assigned runway No. [-], which could barely be called an inside line.The girl glanced in her brother's direction, only to find that he and Akashi were sitting together, looking back at her with their chin resting on their hands.Kanzawa Norie ignored it and squatted down in a ready position.

"Prepare!"

──The voice of the staff.

"Beep!!"

──The beeping of the start signal.

The girl let go of her hand on the ground, the rough touch receded from her palm, and she kicked her left foot hard, and Kanzawa Norie ran forward with this force.

"That time on Saturday," Kanzawa Norisha said to Akashi while looking at the girl's running posture, "You sent someone to bring her back, right? Trouble."

"It's just a small matter." Akashi's eyes were also locked on her, the high ponytail was flying behind his head, and the bangs on his forehead were parted in the middle by the wind.Judging from her figure, she should not run slowly. Kanzawa Norie's lack of sports skills should be due to her frailty. "Compared to this...is it really not important?"

Kanzawa Ji raised his eyebrows, glanced at Akashi unexpectedly, and followed his gaze back to the girl on the track, "Her? It doesn't matter, it's only 500 meters, although it's not enough to sweat , but it's not something that can't be made up for with will. There is still room for her."

Sure enough...do you have that much confidence in Kanzawa Norie?

"Speaking of which, today is indeed October [-]th." Kanzawa Jizheng said, "Although I don't know if she told Akashi-kun, but... if I say 'Happy Birthday' to her, she will be very happy of."

Kanzawa Norie and Kanzawa Ji are twins, and her birthday is also his birthday, and Akashi Seijuro still knows this.However, for some unknown reason, the girl did not reveal a word to him, and Akashi had no way of knowing that today was her 14th birthday.Akashi was a little surprised, "...Happy birthday."

"Ah, thank you." Kamizawa Jizheng waved his hand indifferently, and he didn't mean to get Akashi Seijuro's compliments, "By the way, the effect of saying it to her in person is better than saying it by email." Much more."

"──That's right, how about repaying her for the sketch she brought across the ocean?"

By the way, Jack Harbor in Sydney, she also brought him that sketch. She didn't show it to her last time she went to Akashi's house, but Akashi Seijuro did have someone frame it and put it in his bedroom. .Every day when he returns to his room, he will see the sketch that he will see at a glance every time he closes the door and turns around──

"I will. After she finishes the competition." Akashi Seijuro looked at the black-haired boy, seeming to accept this matter seriously, and seemed to be saying, "I see through your thoughts and don't need to hide it." .He is used to hearing Kanzawa Jizheng's teasing, and being unable to refute is certainly one of the reasons for his silence, maybe it also means that he does not want to refute.

"You may not know that the 'photos taken by Norie Kanzawa' are generally not circulated." The black-haired boy dismantled the girl's stage indifferently, "No matter how important the occasion is, she doesn't like to show her photos The work is sent out, unless her shooting at that time was itself an idea for someone.

"...Are you trying to say something for her? To me?"

"I don't mean that. She should say the important things by herself. I still have a sense of proportion." The black-haired boy said, "I just want you to fully understand the weight of that gift."

Akashi narrowed his eyes slightly, examining the expression of Kanzawa Norisha, as if he was judging the seriousness of what he said.Although it seemed strange for the two teenagers to look at each other like this, Kanzawa Norisha still looked back generously.The black-haired boy didn't get the point across, but he didn't show mercy where he should strike.

How "that thing" happened, the two of them actually didn't see clearly.The exclamations of the people and the yells of the referee shocked the hearing, but because everyone was shocked, the gathered attention was scattered instead.

Just like when there is an accident, people will subconsciously look at the most important things to themselves, and Kanzawa Norisha's eyes naturally shifted to Kanzawa Norie──what caught his eyes──

"Jie Hui!!"

The black-haired boy yelled like this, and rushed down the stairs like an arrow from the string. He completed more than a dozen steps in two steps. Kanzawa Norie fell to the ground clutching his right ankle, because he couldn't see her face down. expression, but judging by the number of staff rushing past, it must be painful.The doctor carefully removed the girl's hand, wanting to check the injury. Sweat mixed with tears fell on the track. Someone brought ice packs and freezing spray. The doctor first applied the spray evenly to the girl's body. Above the ankle, it is secured with an elastic bandage, and finally an ice pack is placed.At this point, the previous processing has been done, Kanzawa Jizheng said "Excuse me" while pushing away the person in front of him, walked to the center of the circle, knelt down and covered the back of the girl's hand with the palm of his hand, She was still grabbing the ground vigorously, and the small red plastic pellets dug into her palm, leaving deep marks.

"It seems to be a sprained ankle joint, a very common sports injury, and a minor fracture cannot be ruled out."

The doctor said so.Kanzawa Norie endured the pain on his own, the black-haired boy didn't know what to do, she rarely even had scratches, let alone a sprain that made her cry almost immediately.The game has been suspended, and the medical staff moved the stretcher and transported the girl to the hospital bed for further diagnosis.

Akashi Seijuro stood in the crowd, the girl's face was partly blocked, but she could still see that she was in pain, her brows were tightly wrinkled, and her face was covered with sweat.The red-haired boy watched her being carried into the medical room, Kanazawa Norisha raised his head and saw Akashi, and after glancing at him, he followed Kanazawa Norie into the room.The teacher calmed down the students' emotions, and the head teacher of the 2-year group A had already picked up the phone and called Kanzawa Jiyu to inform him of the accident here.It is still unclear whether Kanzawa Norie fell down or there were other reasons, but a notice and an apology must be done.

The students who were leaning on the railing returned to their seats, and Akashi Seijuro had to sit down too.Joint sprains are more common in basketball than in swimming, so Akashi knows what it's like.Considering that the girl's own health is not good, although she has never had an attack in front of him again, and she usually eats well, it does not mean that the disease has no sequelae.Thinking of this, the red-haired boy slowly frowned.

After immobilizing for a short period of time, the doctor removed the bandage again. At that time, the girl's ankle joint was already swollen, and there were obvious traces of bruising.The doctor gently presses different places, asks about the degree of pain, and judges the location of the injury.Kanzawa Norie's scalp was numb from the pain, but she still answered the questions one by one.

The next step is to check the condition of the ligament. Kanzawa Ji is trying to see through the doctor's expression, but to no avail. He is too anxious to speak freely, but Kanzawa Jihui sees him from the hazy tearful eyes ──The girl still has the strength to joke around. "...so the sports meeting... so annoying..."

"Stop talking and give me a good rest!" Kanzawa Jizheng finally couldn't help saying this.The doctor brought a mat, put her right foot on it, and bandaged it again, which was a little tighter than last time.

"...must be sent to the hospital for treatment. A sprain of this level can't be done without an X-ray." The doctor issued an order, "I'll go and notify the school and let them arrange a car."

Saying so, the man in the white robe walked out.Kanzawa Ji was sitting on the chair next to him, stretching out his arms to be pinched by the girl. Although the inner side was blocked by her body and he couldn't see clearly, he knew that the bed sheet had been crumpled by the girl.The teacher must have notified the elder brother. According to the distance between this stadium and Shenze Company, it may not be slower than an ambulance.Kanzawa Norie's face was still pale, and her slightly raised lips were bloodless, so she still sighed like this, "...I hate it, today is still my birthday..."
