[Kuroko's Basketball] Our age

"When were you here?!...Who is it to you?!"

"Huh?" Faced with everyone's shock, the boy just tilted his head, his expression didn't fluctuate.

"I'm also in the basketball department, and I've been here since just now."

"Hei... Mr. Heizi."

Nakajima, with a sad face, patted him on the shoulder as if he seemed to have a good relationship with the boy: "Please don't always appear in this way, can't your heart bear it?!"

As Nakajima called out the boy's name, I remembered that there was indeed a boy named Kuroko Tetsuya in the club, and his name was indeed included in the daily training plan, but how should I put it...whether it is his training The data or himself is so inconspicuous that I almost forgot there was this person.

"I'm obviously here all the time." Heizi lowered his head and muttered softly.

"I'm... so sorry, Heizi-kun." Momoi swallowed and apologized to Heizi, "In this case, can I ask Heizi-kun and Midorima-kun to go shopping together?"

"Ok."

At that time, Kuroko Tetsuya was just the most inconspicuous member of the basketball club, so none of us thought that a few months later, under some kind of coincidence, this person would grow up to be the same as the others in Teiko in a different way. All exist differently.

The next thing went perfectly according to Momoi's plan.

I have always thought that women are terrifying creatures, and in some respects there are always unexpected actions that exceed ordinary people's standards. For example, the pink-haired girl who is walking with me is not particularly outstanding in sports, but The mental power she displayed during shopping was truly terrifying.After shopping in the commercial street for most of the day, I was exhausted, but she was still energetic and pulled me to talk about the next plan.

"Cheer up, Xiaobai, there's still a birthday present I haven't picked yet."

I leaned on the bench by the side of the road, my eyes began to wander: "Birthday present..."

"Wait Xiaobai, where are you looking!"

A hand slapped me hard on the head, forcefully pulling my gaze back from the cool photo posters in the bookstore opposite.

"Hey~~ But when it comes to birthday presents, shouldn't you give the other party something they like?"

I retracted my gaze and landed on the girl's chest: "Momoi-san doesn't need to prepare a gift for Aomine-kun at all, just let him rub your... pain!"

This punch was even harder than before, Momoi still rubbed my hair vigorously: "Teach me something normal! Have you been infected by those stupid boys!"

"Yes... I'm sorry, I was wrong, okay?"

It was hard to calm down the girl's anger. As a price, I had to follow the girl and run around the commercial street. After visiting four or five stores in a row, she dragged me into a sporting goods store.

I have to admit that, as a childhood sweetheart, Momoi really knows Aomine very well, and most of the products in the store are similar to the taste Aomine usually uses.

Momoi finally let go of me, and stayed next to the shelf full of sneakers.

"Sneakers? They really suit Aomine-kun, Momoi-san, you..."

Momoi interrupted me, took my hand and placed it somewhere on the shelf.

It was a pair of limited edition sneakers, regardless of style or workmanship, even a layman like me could see its value.

"This... Aomine-kun said before that he wanted to come."

But this price is not affordable by ordinary middle school students.

Momoi's gaze stayed on the sneakers, hesitating for a while, reluctant to leave.

"Hmm... how about this?" I picked up one of the shoes and put it in Momoi's hand, while holding the other in my hand.

"It's just a gift from me, and that's just from Momoi-san... Is it okay?"

"Uh, this..."

"If Mr. Qingfeng dares to be dissatisfied, let him die."

At the same time as us, the preparations for Midorima and the others went smoothly.It’s just that we were still nervous after sending out the invitations—although Aomine and Akashi both accepted the invitations, it’s still unknown whether the next day’s party will go smoothly.

Birthday cakes, drinks, and all kinds of decorations are arranged in an orderly manner under Momoi's orders, and everything is waiting for the protagonist to appear.

Staring at the cake on the table, Ziyuan took a bite of the delicious stick: "Hey, Taozi girl, can you still eat it?"

"Wait, Xiao Zi! I already bought you delicious sticks, can't I cooperate?"

Momoi became impatient for a while, and walked around several entrances of the basketball hall several times.

The scheduled time has come, not to mention Akashi, even the protagonist Aomine has not come.

"Don't you need to look for it any more, Momoi-san?"

"Huh? But Mr. Heizi has gone... Ah, Mr. Heizi is here!"

The blue-haired boy who met our sight took a deep breath: "I found Aomine-kun and Akashi-kun."

"Where?! Why didn't Mr. Heizi bring them here?"

"I think it's better for everyone to go and see together."

For some reason, there was a bit of joy in the peaceful eyes of the young man. He paused for a while and added: "I think we will see good things."

Heizi took us to an open-air basketball court not far from the school.The sunlight in the evening is a soft orange-red, so that the entire stadium is dyed the same color, including the two figures, one tall and one short, on the court.

The tall boy defended the line of defense so tightly that there was almost no gap, while the short boy moved with amazing agility, changing successively in an attempt to find a breakthrough.

The ace of Diguang and the captain of Diguang, needless to say how wonderful their oneonone is, but for us, this is no longer a simple duel.

With the wind blowing on his face, Momoi laughed softly: "Let's go, shall we go back?"

"Don't you need to call them, Momoi-san?"

"What are you talking about, Xiaobai?"

Momoi's smile overflowed with unprecedented tenderness: "For Aomine-kun, this should be the best birthday present."

23 The value of existence

With the sound of cicadas subsiding, the first summer of my junior high school life came to an end.The summer vacation is over, the new semester begins, and the basketball department finally gets a new student.

During the National League, because of the outstanding performance of those five boys, the reputation of Diguang Middle School was greatly improved. Not to mention the large interview report in the monthly basketball magazine, I don’t know who uploaded the video of the game to the school forum. Within a few days, the video clicked The rate has skyrocketed, and the supporters of the basketball club have skyrocketed. In less than a month since the start of school, we have received [-] or [-] applications for joining the club, not only from students of the same grade, but also from senior students who had previously joined the basketball club. Many of those seniors who left have joined our team.The original method where Akashi tested each entrant and made a training plan could no longer continue. Soon, Akashi assigned them to the first army to the third army according to their strength and formulated different training plans. Upgrade test once a month.This method is not at all like the original basketball club, which is decided by the minister. All members of the club have no objection. Even the seniors of the senior grades have praised Akashi, the captain of the first grade.

Because Akashi perfectly abided by the agreement, the restrictions on the basketball club of the Student Union were completely lifted, and the application for club fees was no longer as harsh as before. The use of venues has changed from only one basketball gymnasium to all basketball gymnasiums. Member registration, training Plan adjustments, re-employment of supervisors... a new start, work is more complicated, and the time outside of class is almost completely taken up, but I sneak in, recalling that the basketball team was abolished in April to reborn, and then won the All-China League in a last-ditch fight The championship, and then the episode of the summer camp, there are so many things in just a few months, and those of us who have come along the way have also changed a lot in this short period of time.Since the beginning of school, no one has been absent or relaxed in the training. Even I, who was just taking notes off the field, felt infected by them and had the urge to "don't want to lose to them".

They are obviously a group of idiots, why have I been led away by them all the time?

By the way, there was a small episode when the supervisor was hired.

Because of the incident in the former basketball club, the previously hired supervisor was dismissed, and we were in a state of no supervision and guidance until the end of the summer vacation.After the start of school, with the help of the school, Akashi invited Kondo, who is said to be the supervisor of the former national player.

Because of the advance notice, everyone lined up in an unprecedented manner on the day when the new supervisor came. When Akashi and a middle-aged man appeared outside the basketball hall, all the staff bowed respectfully to welcome them.

This supervisor is tall, with strong muscles on his exposed arms, and it seems that he has not neglected to exercise, but his appearance... can only be described as rough.

"Oh, it is indeed the team that won the championship this year. The quality is good."

The supervisor looked all the way over and nodded frequently at the team members, looking very satisfied.

Then, his eyes fell on me.

It's not Momoi who is regarded as a goddess by the boys, but me.

"Oh! I thought it would be impossible to meet a girl in my life if I had anything to do with basketball! As expected, it was the right thing to come here... Ah, little sister, don't be afraid, Shu Mi just wants to treat you to a cup of tea!"

...What to do, I suddenly feel very sick.

The eyes of the boys around began to look strange, and whispers kept coming.

"Wow, the new supervisor is Lolicon."

"Lolicons are disgusting!"

……

Although I am of average height among normal middle school girls, I have to admit that I look...too small in this basketball club where boys are generally taller than the average.
