[Black Basket] On the Victory of the Emperor

99: Will

The hospital that Akashi went to was none other than Midorima's hospital.

"Huh? Full body check?"

Midorima raised his head and looked at Akashi, "You?"

Midorima has been a doctor for so many years, so his eyesight is naturally good, but Akashi, he didn't notice any signs of illness.

"Forget it, come with me."

Although he doesn't like the Akashi family very much, he still has a good professionalism.

Los Angeles, USA--

"My lord, this is the will left by Mr. Akashi. He asked me to hand it over to you. If something happens to him, please take good care of the young master."

A man with the appearance of a gentle secretary was holding a document bag.

"Unfilial son!"

Akashi's grandfather shouted angrily, hitting the smooth ground with his cane again and again, "I'm not filial, I'm not filial!"

Akashi's grandfather panted heavily and sat on the chair by the wall.

"Master, don't be sad, the young master is just in case."

The old housekeeper gave Grandpa Akashi a break.

Grandpa Akashi looked up at the operating room in front of him, and coughed violently again.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough—bring, that thing, give, bring me here!"

He tremblingly pointed at the document bag in the secretary's hand.

After the old housekeeper delivered water with his breath, he finally stopped coughing.

"A will? The old man hasn't written my will yet, so it's his turn to write it!"

Grandpa Akashi violently opened the file bag, and pulled out the black and white letters inside.

With just a glance, Akashi's grandfather sighed.

"Come on... Seijuro's name is written all over this thing, so it's best to let Seijuro deal with it."

Grandpa Akashi dropped the will on the chair beside him.

"Master!"

Hearing what Akashi's grandfather said, the secretary hurriedly persuaded, "Mr. Akashi has specially ordered you to never tell the young master about this matter!"

"I know, but Seijuro has already noticed, how long do you think you can hide it with those recordings?!"

The majesty of Akashi's grandfather is still there.

"...But this is Mr. Akashi's order, and he doesn't want to affect the young master's competition."

The secretary said weakly.

"Hmph, let's just say he dotes on Seijuro too much!"

With a long sigh, "Oh... I see, old man, I will help you hide it from Zhengjuro, but you need to know the consequences if something happens to Fu Jiulang."

"I believe Mr. Akashi will be safe and sound!"

The secretary clenched his fists and raised his voice.

"I hope so."

Everyone silently looked at the operating room in front of them.

At a corner tens of meters away, Hongcun recalled in shock what he had just heard.

Hongcun's father's illness has recovered, at least he can no longer live in the hospital, but he still needs to come for regular checkups.And today is the day when Hongcun accompanied his father for a reexamination.

Now while waiting for his father, Hongcun saw the doctors and nurses rushing to the operating room with the hospital bed. This is a very common sight in the hospital. The appearance of the person above.

Due to too much interference from the distance and line of sight, Hongcun saw the person on the hospital bed as Akashi at the first sight. It is no wonder, because Akashi's appearance is largely inherited from Akashi Fukuro.

Because of worry, Hongcun, who came to the operating room after him, realized that this was not Akashi, but Akashi's father.

He was relieved that the person lying on the bed wasn't Akashi, but it wasn't good news.

Hearing Akashi's grandfather's words, Hongcun fell into hesitation.

——Akashi doesn't know about this? !Want to... tell him?

The current scene is too similar to what he has experienced.

When he was in middle school, his father was also hospitalized due to illness and asked his family to try their best to hide it from him, just because he was afraid of affecting his game.But in the end he found out that something was wrong.

At the beginning, he was able to abandon the basketball club without any scruples because there was an excellent junior named Akashi Seijuro behind him, who allowed him to take care of his father with peace of mind.

But now...his junior encountered the same thing as him.

Hongcun felt that he should tell Akashi, but he thought of what Akashi's grandfather and the others did. In order to conceal Akashi, he even prepared a recording of the call in advance.

He is not qualified to waste their hard work, nor is he qualified to destroy their concern for Akashi.

but……

The black hair was almost crumpled into a bird's nest head, and the image of the calm senior in the eyes of the younger generation was completely destroyed.

"Build."

The father who had already checked found Hongcun.

"Father……"

Hongcun raised his head, facing his father who gave him many life philosophies, he asked for help, just like a lost believer asking God which direction he should go.

"Do what you want."

Just like when he wanted to give up studying in Japan and come to America to take care of his father, Hongcun's father said the same thing.

"What I want to do..."

Hongcun murmured.

From an emotional point of view, he actually doesn't want Akashi to know about it like Akashi's grandfather and the others.

But he didn't want Akashi to regret it if he found out later. No one knew whether Akashi Fukuro's operation would be successful. Feel like a sinner.

"call--"

Taking a deep breath, Hongcun picked up the phone.

——I'm sorry, Grandpa Akashi, Mr. Akashi, I don't want Akashi to regret it in the end, please forgive me for my actions.

"Akashi? I'm Nijimura."

He called Akashi.

"Senior Hongcun?"

Akashi, who was about to undergo the next physical examination, did not expect that Nijimura would call him suddenly.

"Akashi, I have something to tell you, please get ready."

Hongcun clenched his fists, he was afraid that he would regret it.

"Please say."

Feeling that what Hongcun had to say would be very important, Akashi gestured for the doctor to continue later.

"Your father..."

Hongcun swallowed, "He is currently undergoing surgery."

"..."

There was a long silence from the other side, and Hongcun was a little at a loss.

"Sorry, actually your grandfather and the others wanted to hide it from you, but I don't want you to regret it later."

"I see, thank you senior."

Akashi's voice didn't have the big fluctuations that Hongcun expected, it was still so faint, Hongcun began to admire Akashi's restraint, if it was him, he might have smashed the phone.

"What are you going to do?"

If Hongcun remembers correctly, now is the time for the Winter Cup.

"win."

"?!"

"Father hoped so, so he didn't tell me."

"but--"

Hongcun told Akashi that he hoped that Akashi would come to accompany Akashi Fukuro, he didn't expect Akashi to choose this way.

"I believe in him."

"Akashi..."

Hongcun suddenly felt a sense of sadness, not for Akashi Fukuro, but for Akashi.

"I can't change anything even if I rush over there, but if possible, can senior Hongcun do me a favor later?"

"Okay, you say."

"Please stand at the door of the operating room."

"Eh? Ah, okay, wait a minute and I'll rush over now."

Hongcun went to explain to his father first, and then went to the operating room alone.

"who are you?"

After seeing Hongcun approaching, the secretary stepped forward to block his way.

"That... I'm Akashi's friend."

Hongcun's rhetoric obviously couldn't convince them.

"Senior Hongcun, please turn on the speakerphone."

Akashi said.

"kindness."

Hongcun knew that by pressing the button on the mobile phone, Akashi's voice could be heard all over the door of the operating room in an instant.

"grandfather."

Akashi yelled.

"Seijuro?!"

Akashi's grandfather stood up, his sharp eyes fell on Hongcun and his mobile phone.

"Don't worry, I know my father is in a company meeting right now."

He said the excuse from the previous recording.

"So, allow me to do one thing."

"You child! Oh..."

Grandpa Akashi shook his head and sat back down again.

"Senior Nijimura, please stick your phone on the door of the operating room."

At the same time that Akashi asked Nijimura to do this, he also walked to the roof of the hospital.

"it is good."

Hongcun felt that he probably knew what Akashi wanted to do.

"—Daddy, I won."

Akashi turned up the volume. Even in an operating room with good sound insulation, some sound can be heard because the phone is attached to the crack of the door.

The nurse inside frowned, and was about to come out to remind the noisy family members when the doctor suddenly shouted.

"The patient's heart rate has become stronger, fast!"

The tempo picked up in the operating room.

——"Dad, I won."

When Akashi Kuni won No.1 in the piano competition for the first time when he was young, Akashi Fukuro heard Akashi say that.

——"Dad, I won."

When Akashi Elementary School won No. 1 in the calligraphy competition in the second grade of Akashi Elementary School, Akashi Fukuro heard Akashi say that.

——"Dad, I won."

When Akashi Elementary School won No.1 in the violin competition in the third grade, Akashi Fukuro heard Akashi say that.

——"Dad, I won."

Akashi Fukuro heard Akashi say that when he won the first place in the national shogi in the fourth grade of Akashi Elementary School.

——"Seijuro, how's the basketball game going?"

When Akashi hadn't heard the news of his victory from Akashi for a long time, Akashi Fukuro asked him about it.

--"Won."

Unlike when he was a child, Akashi was just a simple word, and his tone was flat, no longer revealing joy and excitement like before.

——Seijuro... my proud child...

The joy of being a father welled up in my heart.

--wait for me.

The author has something to say: There was a problem with the text sent by mobile phone data, sorry!

Why Papa went into the operating room and other things will be explained one after another later. This involves a lot, and it will probably not be explained until after the Chihei war.

The typo will be unified in the next update (← afraid of fake changes

Because of Ah Keng’s reminder, I finally understand where a big problem in my article is, so I will add a part of the plot later, I feel that I am far away from the end_(:з」∠)_
