[Kuroko's Basketball] Our age

what. "

"It's not your illusion, Kise-kun, but my heart is broken."

"Well, that's the end of the topic of the best man, what about the bridesmaid?"

Kise smiled and moved his eyes from the best man to the bridesmaid. Behind Momoi, wearing a bridesmaid dress was Momoi's classmate Izumi from junior high school, a very mature young girl, who was doing the work that a bridesmaid should do.

"I remember that Xiaotao and Xiaobaishi have the best relationship, right?"

"Well, I also remember, Shiraishi, the only one of us who kept in touch with you after junior high school was Momoi, right?" Midorima retaliated against Shiraishi's complaints before... No, it was a timely supplement to Kise's words.

"Hey, why isn't the bridesmaid Xiao Baishi?"

As soon as these words came out, Baishi, who had just displayed his god-like ability to complain, suddenly... fell silent.

"Ahem, that, put aside the bridesmaids, I am also the biggest contributor to the love relationship between Aomine-kun and Momoi-san."

As soon as these words came out, his thoughts flowed backwards in time.

Ten years ago when they were in middle school, something happened between Shiraishi and Qingfeng. If the two were just ordinary team members before that, the relationship between the two has escalated to... an accomplice.

Ah, don't get me wrong, this something is actually nothing, it's just that Shiraishi found Aomine digging through Momoi's shoe cabinet on a clean morning.

Well, look through the shoe cabinet.

This carefree young man was rarely seen as sneaky. In his hand was a pile of white letters decorated with heart shapes. Baishi asked himself that if his eyesight was fine, it should be... a love letter.

Seeing that the things in the shoe cabinet seemed to have been emptied, Aomine heaved a sigh of relief after finishing the work, turned around again to check if there was anyone around, and then——

"Wow!!"

Baishi covered his ears subconsciously, and by the way complained that it turned out that the boys screamed just as much as the girls.

"Baishi, you, you, you... What are you doing here sneaking around?! Why are you like Zhe?!"

Staring at the big trembling black hand pointing at him, Shiraishi cast a disdainful look: "It's Qingfeng-kun who is sneaky, I'm just here to change shoes."

"Wh, what's normal, you you you..."

Looking at Qingfeng who was so nervous that he couldn't even speak clearly, and seeing the stack of love letters he was trying to hide behind his back, Baishi already roughly understood the whole story - it was nothing more than hiding the love letter to his childhood sweetheart before he found out, so that Keep the relationship between the two of you.

At that time, Shiraishi didn't fully understand the matter of love, but he had the feeling of "wanting to help him" for this obviously rude and casual boy in front of him who was still so young about this kind of thing.

She didn't want to ask why Aomine didn't confess to Momoi since she had already done this, and she didn't want to ask how far the relationship between the two of them had progressed. people envy.

If the biggest regret for lovers is to miss the previous life of the other half, then childhood sweethearts can really be called complete, they know everything about each other, and they have a tacit understanding so that they can guess each other's thoughts with just a wink and a small movement, even if occasionally There is a dispute, and it is not so difficult to resolve it based on the fetters of the two for many years.

"I didn't see anything, Aomine-kun."

As Shiraishi spoke, he took out a letter from his schoolbag—it was the letter that the head of the volleyball club asked her to deliver to Momoi when he left school last night.

"Compared to these, I have something to ask Aomine-kun."

She handed over the letter: "Aomine-kun, please pass this letter on to Momoi-san. Of course, if Aomine-kun loses it or forgets it, you don't have to apologize to me. I don't know anything."

At that time, Shiraishi watched Qingfeng take the letter in doubt, turned and left without even explaining.With her indifferent personality, she didn't ask too much about the progress of the two after that, but when she was in college, Momoi told her by email that the two started dating and entered the palace of marriage, Shiraishi was sincerely happy for the two.

The surrounding noises brought Shiraishi back to reality, and he realized that the wedding vows had ended, Momoi raised the bouquet in his hand, and was about to throw it out.The guests stood up one after another trying to grab the bride's bouquet, and the big boys beside Baishi were no exception.

"Isn't Xiao Baishi going to grab a look?"

Kise, who was already excited enough to stand on his seat, looked back at her, but Shiraishi shook his head in response.

"It's not necessary anymore."

"Tch, Xiao Baishi is really cold."

Seeing Kise put his enthusiasm into grabbing the bouquet again, Shiraishi rarely showed a smile on his face that rarely changed his expression.

——Just seeing the two of them happy is enough.

Thinking this way, with a casual glance, she saw Momoi whispering something to Aomine, and Aomine immediately snatched the bouquet from Momoi's hand, and flung it out with the beautiful movements he only had when he was shooting a basketball.

Just like what they had seen thousands of times when they were in middle school, the bouquet of flowers drew a beautiful arc, and then fell steadily into the hands of Baishi who was motionless on the seat.

"Ah, foul! Xiao Qingfeng definitely did it on purpose!"

Hearing Kise's protest, Shiraishi stared at the bouquet of lilies in his hand in surprise, it took him a while to recover, and when he looked up, Momoi's smile was brimming with happiness, and he was talking to her.

It was easy to read the other party's lips, and Shiraishi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

——Well, you should be happy too.

45 Let's catch ghosts

Time has never been a sympathetic fellow, it has never just moved at its own pace.The matter of Haizaki's withdrawal has not left us room for thinking, and the All-China League has arrived.

This year's All-China League is held in Kyoto, which has a long history.Since Teiko was last year's champion, it does not need to participate in the regional qualifiers to enter the national competition.Such news has been circulating in Diguang for a long time. As the competition day approached, on this day, in the No. side of the boy.

"The main selection is the above 11 people, and the starting list will be announced below."

Akashi was as quiet as usual, with no expression of joy or anger at all: "No. 4 Akashi Seijuro, No. 6 Aomine Daiki, No. 7 Midorima Shintaro, No. 5 Murasakihara Atsushi, and..."

After pondering for a while, the air suddenly became tense...

"Number 8 Kise Ryota."

The low voice shattered the hopes of all the boys in the First Army who were expecting to fill this position, but on the other hand, no one questioned the result.

Ah, of course it is.

Looking at the boy who was so happy that he was about to shed tears, I couldn't help curling the corners of my mouth.

No one can deny his talent, and... his hard work.

"The next step is the itinerary. On June 6, I will take the Shinkansen to Kyoto, and then from June 22, it will be the competition time. Because Akashi's family has a mansion vacant in Kyoto, the accommodation during the period will be arranged in There. So, that's it."

Without going into details or asking if there are any questions, Akashi ended the introduction of the itinerary in his unique style.

"Hey, wait a minute, Akashi,"

Without waiting for Akashi to turn around, Aomine stepped forward and grabbed him without fear of death, "I remember I booked a hotel near the competition venue last year. Why did I stay at your place this year? The school is so stingy and doesn't give us any money?"

"It has nothing to do with funding, it's just not necessary."

"Then why last year..."

"Of course it's to put pressure on you."

Akashi narrowed his eyes slightly, and his beautiful red pupils immediately showed killing intent, which sent chills down our spines, and we couldn't help but think of what he said when we set off last year.

——If you lose, all the fees will be returned to the school.

Last year, he gave us tremendous pressure in the way of breaking the boat, and also made our newly established team kill those wealthy schools, and turned Diguang from a role that was ridiculed to the pinnacle of attention.

"Then this year...you don't need any pressure?"

A certain member of the selected team was not afraid of death and said something, and was immediately frightened to death by Akashi's eye knife.

"Who said there is no pressure?"

The red-haired boy sneered, and the pressure in his voice intensified a bit: "Shangzaki Middle School entered the All-China League this year as expected, and this time, their captain was not injured."

Uesaki Middle School... The appearance of this name changed the atmosphere. The champion of the National Middle School League the year before last year lost to Beizaki Middle School because of the injury of the captain Sato Yasushi. Also, in the practice match last winter, under the leadership of the comeback captain Sato , they defeated Regal.

Although it was only a practice match, it attracted a lot of attention because of Captain Uesaki's comeback and the strength of both sides. Not long after the game ended, I saw a report in "Monthly Basketball" magazine, and Uesaki Middle School was almost praised to the sky. Diguang was also questioned because of this, thanks to this, such remarks are not uncommon in middle school basketball forums until now.

——Teikou is not as good as Uezaki, last year's champion is not as good as the previous year's champion.

—No, who said that?

——This year, let you have a look.

"Ha~~"

I heard Qingfeng's fists clenched and rattled, not only him, everyone seemed to be suppressing a beast in their hearts.

"Diguang, will win!"

"Diguang must win!"

"Diguang must win!"

"Diguang must win!"

Because of Ace's shout, everyone couldn't help raising their hands to join the ranks, and the noisy sound echoed in the stadium.

No, with one exception.

I don't know if it was my illusion, but when Kise raised his hand, I saw a slight trembling.
