Desperate to play basketball!

[29-year-old Akashi has a group photo on the desk in his desk. 】

That was when they graduated from high school, all members of the Generation of Miracles gathered again in the basketball club of Teiko Middle School under Akashi's summoning.

After three years, when we went to see it together again, the first building where we used to occupy together still stood majestically at that place, and looking inside through the crack of the door, we could see the lively junior high school students wearing Teiko Zhengxuan uniforms inside. to train.

The screeching sound of the sneakers stepping on the wooden floor, the bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang when the basketball is forcefully poured into the hoop, the sound of teammates shouting and cooperating with each other, the cheering sound when scoring, and the coach on one side The voice of lecturing loudly to the players off the court.

"Cut, these little guys don't have the demeanor of my uncle at all. What kind of slam dunk is this?" Qingfeng couldn't stand it after watching it for a while, and couldn't help but wanted to roll up his sleeves and go in to compete with the group of junior high school students. burden.

"Mr. Qingfeng, please stop, don't ruin the body and mind of those younger generations, can you?" Heizi expressionlessly grabbed Qingfeng who was eager to try.

"Xiao Qingfeng is aho, but this time I also agree. How could the main selection of our Diguang Basketball Club be so bad? It's far from ours." Kise pointed at himself helplessly and proudly, " Little Heizi, little Heizi, let's cooperate later, go in and play with the younger generation, okay?"

"...Kise-kun, you are already a student of Haichang, and from my point of view, those children are already very extraordinary as junior high school students," Heizi paused, and said coldly, "...although It can't compare to perverts like Aomine-kun or Kise-kun."

"Hey! Ah Zhe! What kind of pervert am I in your mind!"

"Little Heizi is too good to be QAQ! He scolds people every time! I'm not a pervert!"

"Kise-kun's words are okay, I just congratulate Haichang for winning the WC championship this time, I have nothing to say about Aomine-kun's words, the above."

"Little Heizi, Little Heizi! Are you praising me? Are you praising me? Good~happy~fu~"

"Azhe, are you still angry with me? Azhe, you are really still angry with me about what happened back then!"

"Ryota, Dahui." Akashi gave a low cough, and managed to make the two noisy guys shut up.

"Fengzai is an aho and a nuisance. Why did we bring Fengzai to play with Chizai? Let's just throw Fengzai away."

"Qingfeng Dahui, what right do you have to yell here? Go back to Tonghuang as soon as possible."

Murasakihara and Midorima gave Aomine a disgusted look, then turned around and ignored this dark and stupid guy.

"...You people! You people!" Qingfeng was furious, his dark face turned green strangely, but he had to swallow his anger because Heizi was by his side, so he could only use murderous eyes to slow himself down. A group of unreliable partners.

"Tetsuya, how does it feel to be back?" Akashi leaned close to Kuroko, with rare tenderness and emotion in his different eyes, one golden and one red.

"How should I put it?" Heizi thought for a while, and looked at the junior high school students in the basketball court who were training enthusiastically, "probably... nostalgia."

"...As I remember, the first building was brutally occupied by everyone. Aomine-kun always uses various places to exercise his muscles."

"I'm hurrying up to practice Ah Zhe anytime, anywhere, you don't understand!" Qingfeng immediately retorted.

"In that corner over there, there are always pieces of snacks and packaging bags scattered on the floor, because Ziyuan-kun always likes to sit there and eat while basking in the sun."

"Hmm... the sun in that place is warm and the most comfortable." Ziyuan looked at the place where he used to live without blinking, and felt sleepy for some reason.

"Lvjian-kun always likes to put some weird lucky things beside his exclusive bench. Once, Lvjian-kun brought a huge green frog one person tall and put it on the chair, which crushed the chair. , and later changed a bench again, so only the bench of Midorima-kun is different from the other benches in color and style."

"...Shut up, Heizi! That bench of mine was already broken at that time! It wasn't my frog who crushed it!" Midorima squeezed the blue little girl in her arms tightly in embarrassment. Chicken Lucky Charm.

"Every time Kise-kun's fans will go up the stairs from the first building to the second floor to cheer for Kise-kun, because Kise-kun always trains in a fixed position over there, so the floor on the second floor above that place It’s always a bit more damaged, because there are always many girls wearing high heels and stepping there to cheer for Kise-kun.”

"...Little Heizi, I didn't do it on purpose! At that time, I obviously warned the girls every day! If you want to blame me, my charm is really irresistible... But my true love is Xiao Heizi—— woo Wow!" Kise swears with lasagna and tears pointing at the sky, but in the end, Zi Yuan and Aomine punched on the head with one fist in the middle of his confession, clutching his head and twitching away.

"And... Akashi-kun will poke the scissors on the floor for no reason every time, especially next to the training place of Aomine-kun and Kise-kun, so there are a lot of holes in the wooden floor of those two places for no reason." Heizi finally said Turning his head to Akashi, a pair of sky blue eyes looked at Akashi with some amusement.

"Back then, Akashi-kun...it was unexpectedly easy to reveal his emotions."

"Pfft ha ha ha ha!!" Aomine couldn't help laughing out loud, "Akashi at that time was really a perfect representative of the second illness!"

"Speaking of Aomine, are you qualified to say Akashi? You yourself are in the second year of middle school from the third year of middle school to the second year of high school, right?"

"Well, Qingfeng-kun is very annoying when he is in secondary school."

"What should I do, Xiao Qingfeng... Puff! It's so pitiful to be rejected hahaha!"

"I told you not to play with Fengzai, Fengzai hates it the most."

"Ziyuan! Midorima! Kise! Wait for me!" Qingfeng yelled at his unscrupulous teammates with countless bright red tic-tac-toe popping out of his forehead.

—— "Excuse me, please keep your voice down, please? Don't quarrel here, this is the basketball club of Teiko Middle School."

At this moment, the current head of the basketball club of Teiguang Middle School couldn't stand the group of noisy people blocking the door, so he had to come out to maintain the normal order of the basketball club.

"...And, you are not students of our school, are you?"

"Eh...? Why do you say that? Look, we are all wearing school uniforms~" Murasakibara tilted her head in confusion.

"..." The corner of the minister's mouth twitched, "When you buy old school uniforms, please take a look at the size, please? I don't want to say anything at all! This classmate, your dark skin really doesn't suit our school uniforms Yes! And that tall classmate, your school trousers are already short to your calves, so you are really a real man? Since that golden retriever student is wearing Teiko’s school uniform, don’t put on a suit outside. It’s so strange. The strangest thing is this green-haired classmate, what are you doing, why are you hugging such a funny blue chicken so solemnly!"

Aomine clenched his fists, Midorima's glasses flashed white, Murasakihara frowned, Kise burst into tears, and the junior high school minister then complained to several people: "The most important thing is, your image is completely different from the Generation of Miracles. It’s out of line! Don’t dye your hair into such a non-mainstream look and come here to cosplay in Teiko’s school uniform! Even if you’re a fan, we Teiko will be angry!”

"fan……?"

"what?"

"You guys know it too, don't you?" The minister sighed helplessly, "Recently there are always fans of Generation of Miracles who wear Teiko school uniforms or basketball team uniforms, and dye themselves in colorful colors to play the role of Generation of Miracles. The team took a photo here, which has seriously disturbed the daily training and competition of the basketball team, so please cooperate a little bit, too?"

"What the hell are you talking about! I'm Qingfeng Dahui!" Qingfeng couldn't understand the words of the minister in front of him at all, and started to struggle with his head.

"...Student, if you continue to play like this, our Diguang Basketball Club will be angry!" The minister's expression darkened, and he pushed back without fear or humility in front of Qingfeng, who was a head and a half taller than him, " How could the real generation of miracles be as funny as you guys?"

"How can we be too funny!"

"The real Aomine Daiki is the most arrogant and powerful forward on the basketball court, so he won't be so stupid and dark like you! The real Kise Ryota is the most eye-catching small forward in this year's wc competition , and you are a popular model, so you don’t always act like a baby with tears like you? The real Midorima Shintaro is the strongest shooting guard with three-pointers on the field. Not to mention the strange catchphrase! And Atsushi Atsushi is the most cold-blooded and ruthless giant demon king who scares children into tears! This classmate, you are tall enough, but what kind of trouble are you holding a bunch of delicious sticks!" Junior high school The minister angrily named and criticized one by one, "Also, the captain of the legendary Generation of Miracles is an all-powerful, victorious and meticulous point guard with super high IQ! Classmate, you are so short, don't dye your hair red You still wear colored contact lenses! Why don’t you understand that you have a different aura?!”

"Akashi-kun..."

"...Chizi..."

All members of Miracle couldn't help shaking when they heard the key words, and looked palely at the head of the Teiguang Basketball Department who was still talking, and the anger against this brat in their hearts disappeared immediately, leaving only endless sympathy.

[The child who dared to say that keyword, you... have a good journey...]

"—The most, most important thing! The Generation of Miracles is not five people! It is six people, okay!!!!" The Minister of Basketball, who had no idea that he was already on the verge of death, spoke heart-piercingly at this moment. , pointing at the crowd and roaring angrily: "It's obviously six people, you bastards! Is the legendary sixth phantom person the key to linking the first five people?! I'm a true Zheye fan! I went to watch all the games of adults, okay! Compared with the previous five people, all of us in the Diguang Basketball Club admire the basketball of this phantom sixth man, okay?! You laymen don’t know anything!— —For us, for those of us who don’t have the talent of the top five, Kuroko Tetsuya is the player we admire the most?! Because only this basketball... is our Diguang basketball Everything that should be inherited—the will of Kuroko Tetsuya!"

Qingfeng and the others were stunned.

Heizi blinked his eyes, looked in astonishment at the junior standing in front of him with bruised veins and yelled at his companions, couldn't help but took a step forward, raised his hand, and whispered: "That...sorry, I am Heizi Tetsuya."

"------!!"

The basketball minister who was talking excitedly was suddenly frightened by Heizi who appeared in front of him, and before he even had time to scream, he rolled his eyes and fell down.

Kuroko:……-_-#

"Akashi-kun...is this what you want me to see?"

Several people hurriedly carried the fainted minister to the door, knocked on the door and fled quickly. On the way to leave the basketball club, Kuroko seemed to have suddenly thought of something and asked Akashi.

"...Isn't that great?"

Akashi, who had been silent all this time, lowered his eyelids slightly, and raised his hand to stroke Kuroko's hair.

"Actually, I really want Tetsuya to take a look. As the sixth person of the phantom that everyone admires the most and is the most popular among us at the moment, he is actually very strong."

"Akashi-kun..."

"Azhe is already very strong! Otherwise, how could he have defeated all of us in the first grade!"

"Enn~ I really respect Xiao Heizi's basketball~"

"Hmph, until I have avenged my shame, you should temporarily retain the title of this strong man."

"Little Heizi's basketball...I like it very much, just like I like delicious sticks."

"Everyone..." Heizi stared blankly at the happily smiling companions who surrounded him at some point.

"After Tetsuya graduates, he wants to go on the road of professional basketball, right?" Akashi gently clasped Kuroko's right hand, and clasped his fingers tightly with Kuroko's.

"... If it's Tetsuya, there must be no problem. No matter where Tetsuya is, no matter what careers everyone will pursue in the future, no matter where we are in the future, as long as it is your Kuroko Tetsuya match, we will support it together , as long as you, Heizi Tetsuya, still carry the dream that we cannot realize, we will always be behind you, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, and how difficult this path of professional basketball is, as long as we in the generation of miracles are still alive One day in existence, as long as you are willing to persevere, we will hold you forward, just like you used to hold us forward, and we will always be by your side."

"I, if that's the case—me!" Heizi's voice was obviously choked with sobs.

"Tsk, I'm going to be a policeman according to my father's arrangement in college. I can't go with Ah Zhe. I'm very sorry, but I promise that I will go to your side every time Ah Zhe competes!..." Qingfeng pressed He rubbed Heizi's head vigorously.

"If Little Heizi needs me, Captain Kise, I will definitely fly the plane to pick you up! I will go anywhere!" Kise jumped from behind Heizi and hugged Heizi's waist.

"The road to professional basketball is not easy. If there is any physical loss, I can barely cover the medicine for bruises." Midorima pushed his glasses, and stuffed the blue chick into Heizi's arms.

"I'll just pack Hei Zi's sports package. If I want to drink a super invincible special milkshake in the future, I'll make it for Hei Zi!" Ziyuan poked Hei Zi's face, then squeezed it again.

Akashi tenderly covered Kuroko's eyes and the tears overflowing from Kuroko's eyes, lowered his head slightly, and whispered into Kuroko's ear: "...so, everyone is here, and everyone is behind Tetsuya's back to support Tetsuya. "

[Don’t be afraid anymore, don’t hesitate anymore, since you want to play basketball, then go for it. ]

[You who carry all the dreams of our generation of miracles, you who carry all of our moods and feelings, just fly to the farther and wider sky, because ah, no matter what, I, Akashi Seijuro, will be there Behind you, use all the abilities of the Akashi Group and me, Seijuro Akashi, to spread out a clear blue sky for you. ]

"It's just right, since everyone is together, let's take a group photo?!" Kise took out his phone and preset the time and angle for taking pictures.

"Azhe, will you stand with me?"

"Why is it Fengzi? I want to hug Heizi!"

"Squeeze what? You're so noisy!"

"Xiao Qingfeng get out of the way, I have no place to stand!"

"Everyone...at least let me wipe away my tears..."

A few people pushed and shoved you and me and I pulled you so lively, and finally stood still while maintaining a strange posture amidst Akashi's cold snort.

"Tetsuya, come and stand beside me."

"Okay, Akashi-kun."

"Hey! No such—"

"Ten seconds is almost here, stand up!"

"Hey, let's say—"

"Well...then let's go together..."

At the moment when the photo was frozen, all members of Miracle Generation, who were noisy and shoving, yelled at the phone camera in unison:

【—"Kuroko Tetsuya!!! Come on!!!!!!"】

The mixed sounds suddenly erupted, and the loud sound startled the birds in the distance.

Akashi and Kuroko stood together smiling normally, behind them stood three guys with strange mouth shapes, Murasakihara, Aomine, and Midorima, and Kise squatted beside Kuroko, hugged Kuroko and grinned at the camera. laugh.

[The name of the photo is: Tetsuya, come on. 】

The 29-year-old Akashi always looked up at the photo while he was busy, and would reach out from time to time to touch the rare smiling face of the blue-haired boy in the photo through the glass.

【...Mine, Tetsuya. 】

……

Akashi Seijuro woke up suddenly from his sleep.

He took a few deep breaths, and the boy covered his eyes in a rare panic to suppress the surging emotions in his heart.

not mine.

It's not mine, it's not mine—

I, Akashi Seijuro, do not condescend to another person's memory so cheaply!Even if that person is me!

No, if this goes on...

The so-called future, the so-called love, the so-called hard work... If there are memory fragments of [Akashi Seijuro]!Everything is really a joke!

If that's the case—let's throw it away.

... The future can only be grasped by all the choices I make now!

Looking around, it was still his own room, still completely dark, still only his own voice.

For some reason, Akashi's heart suddenly throbbed.

[...Sorry for leaving you behind. ]

[…Sorry, I let you go. ]

The red-haired boy threw the quilt violently, waking up the Wind Fairy who was twitching aggrievedly by his pillow.

"Are you awake?"

The red-haired boy gently asked the ignorant Wind Fairy.

The goblin rubbed her confused eyes, and after recognizing Akashi in front of her, she angrily turned her head away from Akashi.

"...If you don't save Tetsuya, it's bad!"

"Yes... I'm a bad guy."

Akashi sighed with some self-mocking, quickly took off his pajamas and put on his outdoor clothes, and explained to the wind goblin with complicated emotions:

"—So, now the bad guys have to turn their backs."
