[Black Basket] Star Trail

The man in formal attire on the stage was still giving a speech, but Akashi Seijuro's mind had long been absent from him.

It was September, and the chirping of cicadas outside began to quiet down, and the heat subsided, and all that could be caught was the tail of summer.Most places in the school are air-conditioned, and Kanzawa Norie is afraid of the cold, so he put on a sweater early.

Probably sensing Akashi's gaze, the brown-haired girl raised her hand to scratch her cheek.The sleeves of the sweater are so long that they can completely cover the back of her hand—if only five fingers are exposed, they look like the claws of small animals. At first glance, it seems that there are soft meat balls for people to knead.

The red-haired boy watched for too long, even if Kanzawa Norie wanted to pretend, it was impossible for him to pretend anymore.The girl turned her head and looked back, but Seijuro Akashi didn't flinch, and looked at her motionlessly.The distance between the two was only a few feet apart, and Akashi could clearly see the change in the girl.The brown-black pupils in the rose-red eyes met his eyes, as if they were meeting some ferocious beast, and shrank into a tiny point.

Then she pursed her lips and quietly looked away.

After the opening ceremony is over, go back to the classroom and listen to a few words from the class teacher before you can leave.

As soon as the last word in the head teacher's words was spoken, the girl had already picked up her schoolbag. For some reason, Kanzawa Norie did not go through the front door, but walked in the direction of Akashi Seijuro.The red-haired boy looked at her non-stop pace, frowned and stretched out his hand to stop her, and decided to make an exception for the girl and give her one last chance──

"Aren't you going to eat together?"

Kanzawa Norie stroked her ponytail, shook her head and declined politely, "Next time, the class teacher looks like he has something to do with me, so tell Ji Zheng first...then, see you tomorrow, Akashi-kun."

After saying this, Kanzawa Norie bypassed Akashi Seijuro's hand and walked out of the classroom of Group A of the 3rd year.The red-haired boy watched her leave all the way, Kanzawa Norie missed the last chance, that is to say, it wasn't Akashi Seijuro's illusion, the girl was indeed hiding.

As for the reason, Akashi can probably guess it.

But knowing and understanding are two different things.

It goes back to the beginning of the girl's abnormality, and indeed, it started from the final.Kanzawa Norie is not an idiot, and she also saw clearly that Murasakihara dunked the rebound in the end. She knows exactly who deliberately made the score of 111:11.Except for the audience who were completely unresponsive in fright at the time, Kanzawa Norie and some people left the basketball hall immediately, without even saying hello to Akashi.

Kanzawa Norie did not lie.

The homeroom teacher really wanted to ask her for help, but it didn't take as long as she said; she also had to pass Akashi because she was looking for Kanzawa Norisha, because her brother's classroom was on the other side of the third floor.What the girl is doing is just making use of the topic.

To say that Kanzawa Norie stood at the starting point of Teiko's opponent and left the field in anger, that would be too overestimating the girl's kindness.The game is not an occasion where you can shake hands and make peace. If Teiko wins, Kanzawa Norie will be sincerely happy for them──if this is really the case.

If there is anyone in the world who understands Kanzawa Norisha's efforts best, it must be a girl.The girl living together under the same roof has witnessed with these eyes how far he can fight for the competition day and night. She doesn't care about such things as whether the generation of miracles obediently trains, but it is far from hurting the opponent so much in the competition. Exceeded Kanzawa Norie's expectations.Kanzawa Jizheng is not as strong as the generation of miracles, and he also needs a long time of hard work to win. Therefore, compared with the strong who has an overwhelming advantage, Kanzawa Jihui understands the weak side better.There is nothing left of the ethics that an athlete should have.

──If Noriko Kanzawa is treated like this on the court.

she asked herself.

──Can you still sit in the audience and applaud the winner?

"Understood, then I'll take a step first." Kanzawa Jizheng said, and then he seemed to remember something and then said, "Speaking of... the Kyoto side is settled, right?"

"Well, it went quite smoothly." Kanzawa Norie said, "This time it really came to an end."

"That's good."

The brown-haired girl indicated that Kanazawa Yuri was following her out of the classroom. Akashi Seijuro was also holding his schoolbag in the corridor, and saw the twins. The red-haired boy glanced at him. His heart skipped a beat. "...Hey, are you all right? Akashi's face is not quite right."

"Really." Kanzawa Norie looked down at her fingertips, avoiding Akashi's sight, "I can't get along with him calmly at the moment, so let's go to the other side of the stairs."

"...so what's going on..."

Kanzawa Jihui told him the matter again, "I dare not say that I am disgusted out of righteousness, but if there is a small resonance, I can still do it. Speaking more carefully, this feeling is It's like knowing the dark side of a close friend, even if it doesn't break the relationship because of this, it will still be uncomfortable."

Kanzawa Ji was silent for a moment.

Since Kanzawa Norie would feel disgusted, let alone a black-haired boy who is also an athlete.Kanzawa Jizheng is not strong enough to crush his opponents, so every time he plays, he must use all his strength to win, and it is impossible to understand Akashi's thoughts.Rather, only the Age of Miracles can understand each other in this matter.

"That's up to you. If Akashi is happy, it's none of my business." Kanzawa Jizheng said, "It's better to say that the things in Kyoto are more related to me. Tell me in detail."

The teacher's office is close at hand, Kanzawa Norie decided to make a long story short.

"It's not a big deal, I just explain the current situation to my grandfather, by the way..." Kanzawa Jihui received the boy's puzzled look, and the girl smiled like a cunning young fox, "Showing off? Anyway, I am He told everything, including being dragged down by his own people."

Kanzawa Yuki folded his arms behind his head.

"Ah, bad taste."

The brown-haired girl accepted it calmly. "Thank you for the compliment."

The dark-haired youth closed the phone.

A call from Kyoto easily settled the matter.Thanks to Kanzawa Norie's own trip back to his hometown, the lengthy see-saw process was greatly shortened, and the whole thing was able to end.

The opponent has already lost everything, and apart from internal and external pincers, it is difficult to turn things around.The person who violated the bottom line was not only severely reprimanded by his grandfather, but also split the company into two, which accounted for the majority—under the current business situation, it is impossible to completely block the two families Yes, so in the final analysis, we still have to rely on our own ability to stand firm.The only difference is that Kanzawa Jiyu no longer needs to face internal harm.

For him, this result was already considered ideal.Originally, he didn't plan to take more than his own share, what Kanzawa Jiyu wanted was his father's share from the beginning to the end.Now that they are going their separate ways, in a sense it is also a kind of perfection.

Everything was ready, the young man tied his tie and stepped out of the black car.

It's been a long time since I've felt this emotion... I'm almost as nervous as a graduate on the first day of work.

The young man standing in front of the towering skyscraper took a deep breath and stepped forward.

The brown-haired girl put the keys in her pocket casually.

It is rare to have a half-day vacation that comes with the opening ceremony, and Kanzawa Jizheng went to play with people from the swimming club, saying that he wanted to celebrate the good results of the national competition.After Kanzawa Norie finished the request from the class teacher, she had nowhere to go. After thinking about it for a while, she decided to go home.

Hearing the girl's opening the door, the golden retriever came out carrying the black cat Shi Shiran.The girl went out frequently during this summer vacation. After returning to Tokyo, Heart became more and more attached to her, and whenever he saw the girl was free, he would play with her.

Kanzawa Norie squatted down and took out the leash from the golden retriever's mouth.

"Got it." She said, "You want to go out, right? Let's go."

Heart shook the fur on his body to let the black cat down, the girl turned around and put on her leather shoes again.Distraught by Akashi's affairs, Kanzawa Norie wore Teiko's school uniform and walked out of the house with the golden retriever.

... Even the MP3 is left behind, what a mistake.

Kanzawa Norie touched the pocket of her skirt, thinking so.Probably because he was with the girl and the weather was good today, the golden retriever dragged the girl away as soon as he walked out of the house, Kanzawa Norie was accidentally pulled down by it almost instantly. "...Hey, hey! Wait a minute!"

It took a lot of effort to get the golden retriever to be honest, one person and one dog walked on the path without people, Kanzawa Norie finally had time to think about Akashi Seijuro.

Kanazawa Norie has been ignoring this problem before, because the girl has always thought that it is not her problem, but a problem of the Teiko Basketball Club──Since it is not her business, there is no need for Kanzawa Norie to take care of it .

...Part of it is because I believe that Akashi Seijuro will not come to this point.

In any case, it was clearly her mistake.

If it can be easily let go, the situation will become much easier.

If Kanzawa Norie doesn't care about Akashi Seijuro so much, and only regards him as an ordinary friend, he can abandon him because of that dark side; if Kanzawa Norie cares about Akashi Seijuro more than now, and blinds himself with love, It can be tolerated together with his dark side.

The girl stuck in the middle point has no way forward and no way back to escape, which is a real dilemma.She couldn't fall in love with that broken Akashi, and she couldn't refuse the person she was familiar with.However, hesitating halfway is not an option.

Either advance or retreat, you have to choose one.

"and many more."

Kanzawa Norie said so.

"This is...where?"

I don't know when it started, the surrounding scenery became a little strange.It's not that she couldn't figure out the general direction or location, but Kanzawa Norie couldn't easily find her way home.The brown-haired girl looked around and paused when her eyes passed a certain point—this is...

basketball court?
