[SD] Go to college, Shou Mitsui!

Takoyaki for two.

After receiving the takoyaki, Mitsui suddenly remembered: "Oh, I almost forgot, this is seafood, and it's so salty, can you eat it?"

"..." Kana stared at the two boxes of takoyaki and swallowed.

"Can you eat it? Sure enough, you can't..." Mitsui shook a box of takoyaki under Kana's nose "kindly", and said regretfully, "If you can't eat it, you can only smell it... so pitiful. "

"It smells so good..." Kana inhaled the smell of takoyaki forcefully, as if she had eaten it just by smelling it.Then she said, "Take a bite and tell me what it tastes like?"

Hearing this, Mitsui inserted one with a bamboo stick and put it in his mouth.

"Is it delicious?" Kana asked him, licking her lips.

"Well, it's delicious..."

"What is the taste?"

"What's the smell... well, it's very subtle, it's hard to describe..." Mitsui thought for a while, "the smell of seaweed is very strong..."

"What does seaweed taste like?"

"This...not fishy..." Mitsui couldn't describe it, "It's salty, very fresh, and very fragrant."

Saying it means not saying it.

A box of takoyaki was quickly destroyed, and Mitsui still didn't say why.

The other box was held in Kana's hand. Winter was coming, and the surrounding temperature was very cold. This box of takoyaki quickly cooled down and could no longer emit fragrance.Instead, the fishy smell that was originally covered up by the scalding heat was blown by the wind and came in bursts.

"Throw it away, it won't taste good when it's cold." Mitsui said and threw the box into the trash can.

He turned his head and saw Kanai looking at the trash can with some pity. Under the backlight of the night light, most of her face was hidden in the shadow, looking very disappointed.

"I..." she said, "Actually... I'm going to America."

"what?"

This was very sudden, without any warning before.Mitsui thought he had heard wrong.

"I'm going to the United States to study. I may not finish high school here." Kanai repeated firmly.

Seeing Mitsui stunned in place stupidly, she smiled comfortingly: "I went to the United States to undergo a sex reassignment operation, and I grew a penis and became a boy!"

"Don't be joking!" Mitsui said, and then lost, "Really...why are everyone around me going to the United States?"

"Don't worry," Kana said, "I will send you a letter after I go to the United States! Because I don't know where you will go in the future, the letter will be sent to the Shonhoku Basketball Club, so come back and check it occasionally."

She did what she said, and after that, a letter will be sent to the Xiangbei Basketball Club after a while, and the addressee is: Mitsui Shou.

——Whether Mitsui graduated or not.

Kana had a lot to say to him that night.

She asked: "If I go to the United States, will Brother Mitsui remember me in the future?"

"Of course I remember. In the three years of high school, besides Mu Mu, you are the second one who is willing to teach me my homework so selflessly." Mitsui replied.

"Selfless..." So Kana looked at the starlight in the sky and said, "Actually, I'm not like that, I'm very selfish."

"what?"

"Because I added 'I hope' to your personal wishes, I entrusted my ideals to you," she raised her little finger, "So Brother Mitsui must work hard to get into college, and then play basketball well! Let's pull Tick!"

A child's trick, thinking that if you pull the hook, you won't regret it...

Mitsui didn't refuse, he laughed at his naivety, bent down, stretched out his little finger and hooked it with Kana's.

At the school gate that night, Mitsui finally met her parents—a middle-aged man wearing glasses, who looked very gentle.

Kanai called him dad, is this Kanai's father?

Kana's father bent down to gesture to Mitsui: "Thank you for taking care of this child during this time."

"Ah, it's okay, you don't need to be like this..."

Before he could finish, Kana got into her father's car, which quickly disappeared into the night.

Her home is obviously very close to the school.

Tokuo didn't know when he stood behind Mitsui.

"That girl... I almost didn't recognize her just now..." he said.

"Idiot, isn't it Mizumi Kana, why didn't she recognize it..."

"Little San, in fact, I just wanted to say..."

"what?"

"That girl seems to be a lot thinner than when I first saw her. She was really shocked when she saw it."

Mitsui suddenly thought of Xiandao's words: "Don't you think she is too thin? Compared with her peers..."

She was too thin. When she was supported on the basketball court, that body was so light that it was almost weightless.

"Will Brother Mitsui remember me?" When Kana said this, she didn't even dare to look up into Mitsui's eyes.

As if to confirm her words, after that day, Kana disappeared from Mitsui's world.Although her letters came one after another, she no longer had her original fresh sense of reality.

But life still has to go on.

Mitsui's life has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Seven days before the winter season, Akagi suddenly returned.Perhaps it was the persuasion of his family that played a role, or maybe he himself was still reluctant to part with basketball. In short, he came back.

The team in the summer game went out again, and Sakuragi's three-pointer became another scoring point for Xiangbei-it doesn't mean that he must hit every shot, as long as he scores such a goal, infinite possibilities will be created in the opponent's mind.

As long as the idea of ​​"Sakuragi's three-pointer is also very accurate" appears, it will be difficult for the opponent to choose between defending Sakuragi or staring at others.

Mitsui wanted to create an illusion: all the players in Xiangbei are good scorers!

Once his strategy succeeds, coupled with the offensive and defensive skills taught to Sakuragi, Xiangbei's strength will increase greatly.This year, Xiangbei defeated Hainan, which held the championship of the three basketball tournaments in 17, and finally won the first place in the county competition in the winter competition!

Xiangbei entered the national competition again, but finally stopped in the quarterfinals in front of Mingpeng Industry in Aihe County.

There will always be a little regret in life.To be able to reach the top eight, whether it is Akagi or Mitsui, is enough.

They tried.

What they left on the court is not only sweat, but also their youth and passion for ideals.

When the passion passes, everything around will settle for it.

At the end of January of the second year, the college entrance examination finally came.The review materials left by Kana changed from a thin one to three thick drafts under Mitsui's inference.

Academically, his hard work paid off.His college entrance examination results are passable, and he can go to ordinary universities without any problem.

Akagi's score is the first in the whole grade.He didn't need to go to any deep body university, Dongda University was beckoning to him.

Mu Mu's grades were not as good as Akagi's, and he volunteered to fill in Nagoya University.Mitsui's grades are even more mediocre, and he can only hesitate between Kanagawa University and Hainan University.

In this way, the three of them really have to part ways.

During the graduation ceremony, the big boys in the third grade cried so loudly that it became a joke of the whole school for a while.Akagi was the one who cried the most. In his lifetime, Mitsui saw him cry so badly during the summer national competition.

Mitsui himself was not very good, he felt that he must be crying ugly, but no one noticed.

Mu Mu has always been very gentle, so he doesn't even cry, but takes off his glasses from time to time to wipe them...

They are both 17 years old, and they are still underage, so they can cry so presumptuously.

Well, man, in the future, how many opportunities will we have to cry freely?

At the age of 17, the last winter has passed.

Before spring came, the admission notice of Hainan University arrived in the hands of Mitsui first, and an invitation letter from the basketball club was also attached.

He can go to college now, and he was invited by the basketball club of Hainan University... This was something that was unimaginable before.

Hainan is not a professional sports university, but excellent basketball players from Kanagawa generally consider going to Hainan.Invisibly, Hainan has thus become as famous as Shenti University.

This university also has very high requirements for scores. Mitsui's college entrance examination score is a little bit on their admissions score line, which is very dangerous.

But in any case, Mitsui went to university, and he saw familiar faces at the beginning of enrollment.Mu Shenyi and Ah Shen from Hainan, Fujima and Hanakata from Xiangyang and others.

They were rivals on the field in high school, but they became teammates in college. Things don't always happen.

The coach of Hainan University is a kind old man.He seems to take Mitsui very seriously and often teaches him something other than basketball.

For example, the control of the audience on the spot and the use of each player.

From time to time, he mentioned the previous Xiangbei competitions in his seemingly chatting teaching with Mitsui.

"Xiangbei is a highly collaborative team. Everyone is indispensable. Mitsui is a very important scorer and plays a decisive role in controlling the field." Once, he said, "I remember playing Lingnan Coach Anxi was not present at the time, and for the first timeout, you asked Xiangbei's vice-captain to call, right?"

"um, yes."

"At that time in Xiangbei, if there was no timeout, it would be over."

"Coach, you observe carefully..." Mitsui scratched the back of his head embarrassingly, he almost forgot about this detail.

"Because I started paying attention to you after that game," the coach said. "Before that, I just heard about it."

"Huh? I heard?" Mitsui asked in surprise.When did he become so famous?

"I heard from Coach Anxi. It seems...it was when you first entered Xiangbei," the coach touched his chin, "When I visited him once
