[SD Doujin] Light Blue Summer

"Come on! Rukawa!"

As expected of the captain, Akagi-senpai, he let out an angry roar, which opened the prelude to this competition. Needless to say, the first jump ball, no matter in terms of height or strength, his performance was extremely eye-catching. Now the third grader Under his leadership, it has already led the first and second grades by ten.

"Actually, in the final analysis, this is already a two-strong confrontation between Rukawa and Akagi-senpai." Sister Caizi held the fan in her hand and was extremely excited. "As expected, this guy Rukawa is still a novice, in front of Captain Akagi."

"No, his counterattack is about to start." I concluded with certainty. He has successfully intercepted the ball from a senior in the second grade, and then broke through the defense and made a layup. It's very exciting...and Sakuragi next to Miss Ayako is still yelling at Coach Anzai why he didn't have a chance to play for a genius, Rukawa stole all the limelight...

Coach Anzai smiled without saying a word, his eyes were fixed on the current form of the game. Now the first and second grades are centered on Rukawa, but their defense and pitching ability are not enough, so the third grade is still leading, plus Akagi The senior defended Rukawa, and he lost a lot of opportunities to attack.

Seeing this, I couldn't help cheering for Rukawa loudly. Haruko next to me shouted with me, but our voices were quickly drowned out by the voices of Rukawa's female fans.

"Rukawa Kaede! Rukawa Kaede! LOVE Rukawa Kaede!"

"It's so noisy! It's absolutely impossible to let Fox Rukawa be so arrogant if he plays today!"

Sakuragi clenched his fist and waved it towards the door, then ran to Coach Anzai and said, "Let this genius play! We can definitely save the current situation in one fell swoop, hehe!"

"Hehehehehe..." Coach Anxi smiled inscrutably, neither objecting nor agreeing. Now Akagi-senpai hit the ball that Rukawa was about to throw to the ground, and then a senior wearing glasses immediately dribbled the ball to the ground. After attacking, he passed it to Akagi-senpai, who dunked the ball hard into the basket.

"It's a gorilla slam dunk!"

Ah, someone around suddenly shouted out in panic.

The form of the second grade is completely bad. Ayako pressed the stopwatch, waved her hand and shouted, "Everyone, there are only 10 minutes left in the game! Come on!"

Rukawa leaped over several defenders with lightning speed, struck the ground and passed the ball, then retrieved the ball at a very fast speed, and then flew for a slam dunk.

... After a few seconds of silence in the audience, crazy screams sounded.

"Rukawa Kaede! Rukawa Kaede! Ahhh!!!"

Sakuragi went over angrily and closed the door to block the terrible noise, but even Haruko's eyes had become heart-shaped, Sakuragi and Ayako waved their hands in front of her for a long time, She still maintained Rukawa's movements before the slam dunk, motionless.

"Gorilla, let me play..."

Maybe because she doesn't want to see the girl she likes so fascinated by another boy, Sakuragi shed tears exaggeratedly, begging Captain Akagi bitterly, even Ayako-san and Mugure-senpai who wear glasses are also saying good things, but Akagi-senpai remained unmoved until Coach Anzai pushed down his glasses, "Let him play, Akagi-san."

Sakuragi finally appeared on the stage with great enthusiasm, but from his current actions, it seems that he is not even very proficient in dribbling... But when I looked at Rukawa, I found that he also had a speechless expression. One time, in an astonishing slam dunk, the ball hit Akagi-senpai's... head.

"Big idiot……"

When Rukawa passed by Sakuragi, he lowered his voice and said.

"Rukawa you bastard!"

In the past few days, when I have nothing to do in the afternoon, I will go to the basketball club to have a look. In addition, because I often go with Rukawa, many people have come to inquire about our relationship. No one believes the explanation here at all, and this guy Sakuragi also regards me as one of his comrades in arms. Every day, he quietly comes to ask me if Rukawa has anything that will make people laugh when he says it. When Rukawa hit his head with a basketball, he was hit on the top of his head with a fist by Captain Akagi...

As for the thing I care about the most, several seniors in the third grade are very shy about the name "Mitsui", and Miss Caizi also said that she didn't even know that this person stayed in the basketball club. Maybe, Senior Mitsui really changed schools. Well...then where am I going to find him?I closed the notebook in my hand with a little melancholy. I looked at the math teacher on the podium who kept yelling at Sakuragi who was sleeping, and sighed. How hard it is.

"Ayu, are you going to watch the practice match between Shonhoku and Lingnan this weekend?"

When the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Yohei turned his head and supported my desk and asked, Noma Takamiya and the others at the door turned ambiguous eyes on the two of us.

"Oh, Sakurai, just promise him! He really wants you to go!"

Big Nan shouted loudly.

Seeing Yohei winking at them all, I couldn't help but feel amused, "No problem, I'm free this weekend." Speaking of which, this should be Rukawa's first match. To join in.

"Well then."

"Well, see you on the weekend. I'm going to find Rukawa first. Goodbye." After waving to a few of them, I walked towards the carport. It should be because of tomorrow's practice game. The training of the basketball team ended very early today. , just to go back with Rukawa.

Perhaps because today is Friday, there are not many classmates in the huge campus. Occasionally, I saw a few faces with relieved expressions. You can clearly hear the friction sound when walking.

"Rukawa-kun... that... I, I..."

The steps under my feet suddenly stopped at the corner, and through the sunlight, I saw the shadow directly on the ground.

"I like you! Rukawa-kun, I really like you! Can you date me?"

"no."

"why?"

"I'm not interested in you, stay away from me."

It really hit the girl's heart as always, this guy, I hid in a corner where they couldn't see, I clenched and loosened my hands unconsciously, leaning my back against the wall, I could faintly hear the girl sobbing.

"Is it because of Sakurai-san? I can often see the two of you together...whether it is or not, please Rukawa-kun give me an answer?"

To my surprise, this simple question seemed to be difficult for Rukawa, and he fell into a long thought... Or was it silence, or something else?I can't see his expression at this moment.After a long time, the girl ran out crying, covered her mouth, passed by me, and then gradually ran away.

She ran very fast and lifted her skirt. I saw delicate and lovely hair accessories pinned to her hair. I think she must have made a lot of preparations for today's confession...

"...Hey, let's go."

Rukawa had already pushed his mountain bike out, and then came to me and said, his expression was as indifferent as ever, as if the person who was confessed just now was not him.

"Tomorrow is the practice match with Lingnan? I have an appointment with Yohei and the others to go together. You have to perform well on the field!"

I clasped my hands together, and he looked as it should be, with one foot already on the bike, and then I realized that the bike he was riding today was different from the bike he was riding a few days ago. , I touched the back of my head, "Well, let's go back? How can I sit like this?"

"Idiot, come here quickly." He knocked on the front bracket with his right hand, "I won't throw you off."

Hearing what he said, I felt relieved, and sat up sideways, with his arms around me, and then leaned forward. Even I, who hadn't been in love for many years, felt that we were in love at this moment. The pose is too intimate, you can see Rukawa's eyes focused on the front when you lift your head slightly, and your skin is even whiter than mine, and maybe it's the delicate looks of those girls screaming...

Having said that, it might not be a good thing for me to have such a good-looking good friend... Thinking of this, my mood improved again, and I yelled "Rukawa is moving forward!", looking at the The scene next to him continued to retreat, but he still didn't ignore his contemptuous snort.

But, was he smiling just now?

Because I have been to Lingnan for filming before, I am familiar with the way forward. I went out early and took the tram to Lingnan, and walked into their school’s gymnasium. My good friends, all of them were standing in the stands on the second floor, and now the personnel from Xiangbei were in the lounge, and only a few people from the Lingnan basketball team gathered off the court to do the final warm-up training.

"It looks so serious. How come there are reporters coming over there?" Matsui asked without knowing it, and Haruko replied solemnly, "It's because of the ace fairy in Lingnan!"

"Xiandao, who is that?"

Yang Ping asked curiously, and Da Nan and the others also approached. When Haruko took a deep breath and was about to speak, she was suddenly interrupted by a scream.

"Rukawa Kaede! Rukawa Kaede!"

It's those crazy followers of Rukawa... They are wearing white sleeveless tops and miniskirts today, everyone looks very energetic, and they are holding flower balls for cheerleaders in their hands, watching them go crazy Look, all of us sighed helplessly.

"It's really admirable for their perseverance to even come here after them."

Danu leaned on the railing and said, everyone nodded in unison, only Matsui looked at the flushed Haruko, "I guess you want to join them too..."

"Look, isn't that flower arrangement!"

Noma shouted loudly, all of us looked down and saw the Xiangbei basketball team in red uniforms ready to go, Sakuragi who was walking in the front laughed, and then kept gesturing to Yohei and the others. uniform.I looked towards Lingnan, their team uniforms happened to be white, no wonder I always felt so familiar, it turned out...it was the team I met at the beach that day.With a clear smile, I looked at the game that was about to start.
