[Black Basket] And Tsukihara Atsushi's Cookies

Rina doesn't know how Murasakihara persuaded Mr. Araki, but on the day of the semi-finals, the seniors tried their best but still lost the game.

This is also the first time that Rina has witnessed the defeat of her school in the auditorium.

This is the end of the Yangquan basketball team's "IH Tournament" tour.

Because there is no competition for the third or fourth place in the competition, the final ranking of the team depends on the ranking of Luoshan.

Luoshan is the champion, Yangquan is No.3, Luoshan is the runner-up, and Yangquan is No.4.

This is the rule of the competition, and there is no way to explain it.

after the game.

In the Central Gymnasium, the lounge of Yangquan University——

"Where is Ziyuan, where did that kid go?"

"Tell that kid to get out, I want to hear his reason for not playing?!"

"What kind of ace is an ace that doesn't play? What is that kid thinking?"

There was chaos in the lounge. Even if Okamura and Fukui jointly suppressed it, they could not calm the anger in the hearts of the players.

at this time.

The lounge door opened.

Director Masako Araki, holding a bamboo knife, walked into the lounge:

"What are you arguing about here? I heard it from outside the door."

Okamura asked: "Supervisor, where is Ziyuan?"

Supervisor Araki said indifferently: "I let him go back."

"Supervisor, if Ziyuan played in today's game, how could we—"

"Shut up, I said don't put your hope on others," Araki Masako glanced at the players with an unhappy expression, "Today's game, although we and Luoshan did not field the best lineup, the gap between the two sides is obvious. It’s not something Murasakihara alone can change.”

"But the supervisor..."

"No, but, I know what you think, because Luoshan didn't send an ace to the field, we can win the game by sending an ace, but that is not the victory of the team, but the victory of Ziyuan alone. I have already taught that boy a lesson. Yes, you will see him later when you return to the hotel," Masako Araki added lightly, "I hope he can live until then..."

The basketball boys in Yangquan were collectively silent.

——Supervisor, what did you do to Murasakihara?

Although we are very angry, we don't want Ziyin to have an accident because of this.

anyway……

Could Ziyuan have already been beaten to death by the supervisor?_→

"Pack up your things, we should go."

"Yes, supervisor."

The boys packed their things silently.

Unwillingness is in the air.

at the same time--

In the hotel where the Yangquan basketball team stayed.

In the room, Rina calmly applied the medicine for Murasakihara.

"hiss--"

The boy grinned in pain.

But after seeing Rina's expression, Murasakihara swallowed his pain again:

"Lili girl, are you still angry?"

The two-meter boy asked.

Rina shook her head: "I'm not angry anymore, Dun Jun has been punished, but I still don't understand why Dun Jun would rather be beaten than play?"

"I promised Chi Zai..."

"Did Akashi-kun not let Atsu-kun play?"

"Hmm~"

Murasakihara quickly dumped the blame on Akashi.

Rina sighed: "Actually, Atsushi-kun doesn't really want to face Akashi-kun, is it because he lost to him one-on-one in middle school?"

Ziyuan was taken aback: "Lili girl knows?"

"I've heard a little bit about it, but there are wins and losses in games like this. If Dun-kun is upset, he can lift Akashi-kun up and put him on the basket. Akashi-kun was a little kid in middle school. Don-kun should It's easy to pick him up."

Murasakihara: ...

[Lili girl, do you know what you are talking about? ]

However, although……

[Put Chizi in the basket——]

The two-meter boy couldn't help but think for a while, and suddenly had the urge to try it out.

It's just that the current Chizai seems to be two laps older than when he was in middle school, and he will break the ball basket...

"Dun Jun, turn your head to the side, and apply medicine on this side too."

Rina's voice interrupted Murasakihara's thoughts.

The two-meter boy stared at the potion in Rina's hand with disgust:

"Lili girl, your potion smells bad, can I not use it?"

This time, Rina flatly refused:

"No."

Quickly spread the potion all over Ziyuan's face.

Murasakihara: ...

When the basketball boys from Yangquan High School returned to the hotel, what they saw was Ziyuan with a swollen face and a pungent smell.

Although he had already been medicated, he could still see the bruises on the face of the "ace boy" and the tragic bruises on his body.

——It’s so miserable, it’s completely shattered.

The basketball boys looked sympathetic.

The depression in my heart disappeared at this moment.

Because of a certain evasive mentality, Murasakihara did not go to the game.

Thinking of the process of the game just heard from Rina's mouth, and seeing the teammates who finished the game, he felt a little uncomfortable.

The extremely intimidating and oppressive boy turned his head aside and said softly:

"Sorry, I'll try not to be like this in the future..."

The basketball boys fell silent in unison——

This brat ╰_╯!

What is "as far as possible"? !

To even apologize and leave yourself a way out?

As an ace who quit the game, shouldn't he cry bitterly and kneel down to repent? !

That being said...

This kid originally wanted to do what he wanted to do, and it was too difficult to ask him to do so by public standards.

Forget it.

Arguing with a first-year brat... Ah, it's hard not to care, he's taller than us, such an irresponsible brat really makes people angry!

"Stinky boy, if you know you made a mistake, you will be punished." Fukui expressed the aspirations of all the teammates present.

"What punishment?"

Ziyuan asked blankly.

Fukui replied without thinking: "Take out your snacks and share them!"

Ziyuan refused without thinking: "No!"

Fukui coughed twice: "This matter is not up to you, Okamura, Liu, this kid is handed over to you, trap him for 5 minutes, Maruyama, Kono, go to this kid's room with me, and the rest will assist the captain and Liu, do you understand?"

"Leave it to us!"

The basketball boys said in unison.

Murasakihara: ヽ(｀Д′)︵┻━┻┻━┻

After the "IH Contest" ended.

Director Araki gave the players a short vacation.

Rina and Ziyuan returned to Tokyo for this reason.

Today, the weather is muggy.

The ice room asked Murasakihara to come out to play.

In Tokyo this season, the temperature is really not comfortable.

Zi originally wanted to refuse.

Himuro said that he had never been to Tokyo since he returned to Japan, and he finally had a vacation and wanted to go around Tokyo.

Honestly, this reason is hard to say no to.

In particular, Himuro, who has lived in the United States for many years and is unfamiliar with Japan, made this request.

Murasakihara hesitated for a while but agreed, and decided to call Rina.

Anyway, two people are also shopping, and three people are also shopping. Lili Niu has such a good memory, and she can also be used as a manual navigation~

Rina: ...

In this way, the three made an appointment for a time and place to meet.

Although I had a hunch, when Rina arrived at the agreed place, her head was still full of black lines——

Murasakibara was late, and so was Himuro.

And because of the different starting places, the two lost their way and went to completely different places that were completely different from the agreed place!

[No wonder Mr. Lujian reminded me to bring lucky things when I go out this morning. The third-to-last luck of Aquarius is really bad! 】

Thinking about it, Rina sighed.

He decided to pick up his boyfriend first, and then go to Himuro-senpai.

At this moment, Rina received another call from Murasakihara.

Murasakihara said that he knew where the ice room was, so that Rina didn't have to come to pick him up, and just went to the ice room.

Rina: ...

【So confident, Dunjun, are you really sure you won't get lost again? 】

Rain, torrential rain.

A street basketball game in progress.

On one side is a makeshift basketball team headed by Himuro and Murasakihara, while on the other side is the Jorin basketball team.

Along with a long whistle, a deep voice sounded on the radio——

["The announcement is now playing, the game is suspended, players and referees are invited to enter the tent..."]

["...The game is suspended, players and referees are invited to enter the tent."]

The voice on the radio kept urging the players to leave.

The basketball teenagers on the court were reluctant to leave the court for a long time.

Ice room and Vulcan are old acquaintances.

Even the heavy rain did not hinder their communication.

The rain of "哗啦哗啦" washed the earth.

Atsushi Murasakihara copied his pockets and stared at everyone in the field indifferently in the rain.

He hates basketball, and he hates underdogs who are passionate about basketball.

Seeing that his clothes were about to be soaked by rain.

A red umbrella appeared above his head without warning.

Ziyuan was taken aback, then turned around slowly, and a gentle and bright girl appeared in his sight.

She was wearing a bright yellow T-shirt and white shorts, her icy blue eyes were slightly curved, and lovely dimples appeared on the corners of her lips.

In an instant, the dim earth in Ziyuan's eyes was filled with a brilliant light.

His girl, Juyuan Rina.

Murasakihara stared at Rina in a daze:

"Lili... girl?"

The girl said softly:

"The weather forecast said it would rain today, so I took two umbrellas with me when I went out."

"How long has Lili Niu been here?"

"I've been there all the time. Before Ton-kun came, I was watching the game of the ice room seniors outside." Rina looked at her boyfriend with a half-smile, "Why, did you forget me as soon as the game?"

"Sorry Lili girl, I won't do it next time."

Ziyuan bowed his head and said, he really completely forgot about dating Liliniu.

Rina chuckled:

"Since Dunjun has apologized, then I will forgive Dunjun."

at the same time.

Ice Room said to Fire God:

["Goodbye, next time we meet-"

"It's winter."]

The guy who answered the call was tall, over 1.9 meters tall. Although he didn't understand why he didn't appear in the battle between Hidetoku and Jorin, Rina was sure that this guy was also from Jorin's basketball team. His name seemed to be... Kiyoshi Teppei?

I only heard the boy say: ["Let's wear our respective team uniforms next time and play."]

Murasakihara muttered: ["I really don't learn my lesson, I have been beaten so badly before."

"maybe."]

The boy smiled back.
