[Kuroko's Basketball] Our age

.

"Sorry, Akashi-kun."

Just when I was about to bite the bullet and prepare to go in, another voice appeared—is it Heizi?

Through the crack of the door, Kuroko slowly came out from behind the door opposite me. He was expressionless as usual, but lowered his head to apologize to Akashi: "I'm sorry, because I'm really worried about Akashi-kun's situation."

"Don't meddle in the affairs here, I should have instructed you through Midorima, right?" Akashi sighed slightly, "Forget it, since it's your words. So besides caring about me, what else do you want to say to Haizaki?"

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from Akashi-kun."

Kuroko nodded, and then, the small figure standing side by side with Akashi raised his head and looked directly at Haizaki: "I have noticed every bit of Kise-kun's efforts, please don't disturb him."

"Huh? Do you think you are so convincing, Heizi?"

"I don't expect to be able to convince Haizaki-kun, I just convey my thoughts."

Heizi didn't back down: "The current Haizaki-kun, even if I didn't stand with you from the beginning, I feel sad, so Haizaki-kun, have you considered Shiraishi-san's feelings?"

……

When I heard my name, my heart beat faster. I couldn't help but look away from the crack of the door, but the voice inside still didn't stop.

"I am a shadow, so I can understand the feelings of Shiraishi-san, who is also a shadow. Seeing the people I supported become like this, Shiraishi-san will definitely feel uncomfortable, Haizaki-kun."

"Oh, that woman, why should I care about that woman's feelings?"

Haizaki sneered, but his voice lost the momentum it had before.

"I listen to you, Akashi, I listen to you and get out of this damn place. But, let me see where you can go without me! No, the so-called Teiguang, let it be destroyed in the end! "

He raised his head, as if prophesying, as if cursing, and finally turned and left without looking back, leaving bitter laughter echoing in the gymnasium.

Then, I heard Akashi's voice, not loud, but just enough for me to hear clearly.

"Do you understand it?"

This, is this... said to me?

It turned out that he had already found out that I was here.

Without answering or hesitating, I left the gymnasium as if fleeing.

Got it, I got it a long time ago.

Haizaki I understood from that defeat.

However, for myself who can't do anything... I'm so disappointed.

It was nearly 8 o'clock when I left school, the sky was already dark, and summer had begun, and the night wind had lost the coolness of spring, but it still made me shiver.

"Ah, I finally found you, Xiao Baishi!"

A cheerful voice appeared in front of him, raised his head, and Kise, who was holding a lot of things in his arms, smiled happily like a child.

"Xiaoqingfeng is really true. What about the celebration party? I still ran to the convenience store like last time and asked me to pay for it. Here, Xiaobaishi, I got it back from Xiaoziyuan with all my might! Hurry up Eat it quickly, or it will melt."

The popsicle that was handed over from the boy opened it to see how much it hadn't melted. I don't know how he kept it all the way from the convenience store to here.

"I don't know if Xiao Shiraishi likes to eat strawberry flavor. Oh yes, and here, Oden. I don't know what Xiaoqingfeng is thinking. It's summer and you want to eat Oden. Xiao Shiraishi is also true, and suddenly said It’s fun to run away and eat with everyone.”

Holding a popsicle and oden in his hand, Kise's clean and undisguised smile was in front of him.He didn't know he was in the gym just because of what happened to him.

No, none of this has anything to do with him.

Haizaki came to that point because of himself, Kise won everyone's approval because of himself, victory and defeat were all caused by themselves.

But why, why do I feel like crying a little bit?

"Hey, Kise-kun, do you remember?"

"Eh?"

"Last time in the game against Komagi, I told you a lot of beautiful things, why I want to win, why I don't want to embarrass Teiko, and why I don't agree with the opponent's basketball... But now that I think about it, my wish is just, I just hope everyone can laugh and play basketball.”

The popsicles melted and dripped drop by drop on the ground.

I lowered my head and didn't look at Kise's expression that changed from a smile to a stunned expression.

Why didn't you notice it sooner?Why do you always use the responsibility of a manager as a cover?Why not do it sooner?

Me, my wish is nothing more than that.

One hand rests on my head.

It's not like the last time I played against Komagi, I just made actions in a panic to stop my excited speech.

The boy's hands are broad and well-defined, and very warm. It is rare for a boy who is not so gentle in nature to show such a warm temperature.

"Ah, I see, Xiao Baishi."

"I can't interfere with other people, but I will always play basketball with a smile like this."

Looking up, Kise's smile was bright and warm, and the darkness in my heart was driven away bit by bit.

"Thank you, Kise-kun."

44 Green Peach

Ten years later.

In the gorgeously but solemnly decorated church, Qingfeng and Momoi were dressed in wedding dresses. In front of them, the voice of the priest echoed in the church. Behind them, the eyes of relatives brimming with blessings.

"Well, although it's not a serious red and blue cp, it's almost the same."

Shiraishi sat in an unremarkable corner, nodding and commenting.Beside her are several tall men of the same age, with red, yellow, blue, green and purple hair colors that are particularly eye-catching.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Ten years is enough to smooth out the edges and corners of youth and frivolity. No matter how much we miss the road we walked together, no one can stop when it is time to fork.However, it is precisely because of this that occasional stops and encounters on the way forward are so precious.

"Tch, it's true that Xiao Qingfeng sent the invitation before the wedding, and the best man is not me!"

"Kise-kun, are you an idiot? How can Aomine-kun ask you to be the best man because you are the worst in this situation?"

Hearing Kise's whispered complaint, Shiraishi glanced coldly, and said something unceremoniously.

"Hey? Why do you think I'm the worst? What's wrong with me?! The clothes are not wrong, and the gift money is also a lot, QAQ"

Even after ten years, Kise's idiot exclusive expression like a large yellow-haired dog who was despised by others has not changed, which caused Miracle and others to cover their faces and sigh--this idiot, who would want the best man to be more than Are the grooms eye-catching?

The best man Qingfeng chose was his teammate in the national team. Although he is not good-looking, he is worthy of the word "good", and his relationship with Qingfeng is said to be not picky.

"Well, regardless of Kise, it's true that Aomine doesn't have much discernment in choosing a best man."

Midorima pushed up his glasses, looked at the groomsman behind Aomine in a tuxedo, and took out his professional and serious expression when he was a doctor, and began to comment on the groomsman: "Although the appearance can still be seen, but the type who came from the basketball team At first glance, I'm used to casual clothes. On the surface, there is nothing wrong with the clothes. If you look carefully, you can pick out a lot of details. Also, the gestures are a bit rude. In the case of choosing a best man for a wedding, you should generally choose a knowledgeable man. Ritual, gentle, and serious men, such as... ah, I don’t mean to refer to me specifically, I mean at least to my level. This guy, Aomine, really hasn’t improved after many years.”

"That, the little green room..."

Kise, who had been disliked by Midorima once before, interrupted the other party's chattering embarrassingly: "Actually, you...resent that Xiao Qingfeng didn't ask you to be his best man?"

……

Green fell silent.And, silence equals acquiescence.

"Mr. Midori is too serious, and Mr. Aomine has disliked Mr. Midori since middle school, don't you know?"

"What, what, you hate me?"

"Well, how could Mr. Qingfeng find the insidious Four Eyes in his mind to be his best man?"

pat-

Something is broken... No, the No.2 member of Miracle was knocked down by Shiraishi's complaint.

Several other people exchanged glances and continued the topic.

"So, what about Murasakihara-kun?"

When Heizi called his name, Ziyuan, who had just opened a pack of delicious sticks, looked at Heizi in confusion. This time, Miracle couldn’t even make complaints about it—this guy will be someone’s best man or something, it’s impossible for a lifetime, right?= =

"Ahem, what Shintaro said is not completely wrong, Dahui's choice of best man is really not up to standard."

As soon as Akashi's icy voice came out, everyone shuddered, and after exchanging glances, they found that their opinions were completely consistent.

"Even if Akashi-kun's aura is too strong, he can't hold it down at all."

Shiraishi and Kuroko spoke in unison, even speaking at exactly the same speed, but immediately got Akashi's slap in the face.

"Are you two questioning me?"

"...No, Akashi-kun is right."

Sure enough, no matter how many years it has been, this big devil is not something ordinary people can provoke.

"Ahem, then it's Little Heizi in the end."

It was a rare time for Kise to notice that the atmosphere was not right, even if he changed the topic: "Xiao Qingfeng and Xiao Heizi have the best relationship, why not..."

Kise fell into a mental state while talking, and then shut up immediately.

Not only him, but others also fell into a mental state, and then——

Gone Gone Gone Gone.

Thinking of the three years in their middle school, the number of unbelievable incidents in Teiguang surged, and the perpetrators were all sunspots, everyone couldn't help but shudder.

A wedding where the best man suddenly disappears...it must be a nightmare for everyone who attended the wedding.

Kise: "Ah, I seem to hear some broken voice? It's my illusion haha
