Desperate to play basketball!

——This must be a joke, it’s not true, this cliff is because I went to the wrong set,

Damn those bastards must be hiding somewhere waiting to see Lao Tzu's jokes, right?

"Ah Zhe, stop playing, well, I admit that I'm afraid of ghosts, it's okay, right?"

"Surely the two bastards Wuyue and Kise are also involved, and you will die when I find out the flaws in this nonsense tombstone,"

"You want to scare me, Aomine Daiki, it's too early for you guys,"

"Azhe, Azhe, you guys must be laughing with Azhe somewhere, get the fuck out of me, all of you,"

Countless barrages began to flash through Qingfeng's mind, the unbelievable voice echoed over and over again in the deep valley, his limbs went back and forth three times around Heizi Tetsuya's tombstone stiffly, groping up and down I read it again, until my fingers were worn out by the rough slate and cement, and cold sweat broke out on my forehead, but I didn't give up. The sleepiness and fatigue caused by staying up late were swept away, Qingfeng's blank mind I just want to find the flaw in the so-called Kuroko Tetsuya's tombstone——

"I'm telling you! Ah Zhe, I'm going to be angry!"

"If you don't come out again! If you don't come out again-I'll beat you!"

It was as if insect eggs had been densely embedded in his heart, and the larvae that gradually hatched over time began to nibble on Qingfeng's flesh and blood. The numb and sour feeling made Qingfeng a little unacceptable, and he didn't know what The cold sweat that broke out from time to time made the clothes on the back stick sticky to his back, and a thought that he refused to believe to death emerged uncontrollably...

"No, it's impossible—hey! Ah Zhe!"

Going back and forth in this deserted cemetery in vain, looking around, there are white clouds, flowing water, and green hills—only a gravekeeper with long whiskers is shouting loudly in the hut at the entrance of the cemetery. Sleeping, through the glass, the sharp-eyed Qingfeng saw this person at once, and the next second the rude young man kicked the door with his long legs, and the huge sound made the grave guard fall out of the quilt in fright.

"Wow! What are you doing!" The tomb guard who was still in a daze was grabbed by the neckline by Qingfeng who broke in and lifted him up in the air, screaming in fright. "Help! This is a cemetery, God, what are you trying to do!!"

"Where are they?!" Qingfeng clung to the tomb guard a little out of control, and shouted in a low and hoarse voice, "I ask you, where are Kise and the others?! Where's Ah Zhe?!"

"Are you sick? What Huang Lai, Ah Zhe! This is a cemetery, crazy!" The gravekeeper who was pinched by Aomine almost rolled his eyes, "Let go, let go! Or I'll call the police! "

"You're crazy! What kind of shitty cemetery is this?! I just met Ah Zhe, why did I already have the tombstone done in a blink of an eye?! Damn Kise Akashi, you have to limit your jokes, right? !"

"Crazy, let go! Choked, strangled to death..." Feeling that the strength of the opposite person is getting stronger, and his emotions are about to collapse, the grave guard screamed and struggled while dancing, "Here, here, there is no one except me. Another living person! This is a cemetery, you boy, be serious!"

"Impossible, impossible——" Qingfeng let go of the grave guard, ignored the bearded man coughing on the ground, clenched his fists, and rushed straight to Heizi's tombstone, "Ah Zhe, it's impossible, it's impossible. possible--"

Returning to Heizi's tombstone again, Qingfeng, who still couldn't believe his eyes, knelt down slowly on one knee, rubbed the dust on his clothes with trembling fingers, and then dared to gently and slowly stretch his fingers towards In the photo on the tombstone, the handsome young man in the photo is still looking straight at Qingfeng with a pair of gentle blue eyes.

——It seemed to be smudged to the bottom of Aomine's heart.

[not a joke].

[A Zhe is not here].

[Here... is Ah Zhe's tomb? ]

——"Cough cough cough... yo, it's Ms. Momoi? You came so early today." The hearty voice of the cemetery guard in the distance suddenly came.

"Yes, please help me a lot today. A small gift is not a tribute." A woman with pink hair, a professional suit, a hot figure, a good figure and a mature face got out of the car and handed a small envelope to the Gravekeeper, "Please take care of Heizi's tombstone in the future."

"Okay, okay, Ms. Momoi is so polite every time." The cemetery guard took the envelope without changing his expression, and smiled a few times, "But speaking of it, today a boy who looks a lot like Mr. Aomine suddenly Suddenly, he rushed over, yelling indistinctly about Azhe, Huang Lai, and seemed to run towards Mr. Heizi's tombstone just now."

"...Eh? How, how could...?" The pink beauty—Momoi Itsuki in her thirties was moved in her heart, and asked with some surprise, "Is that boy now—?"

"It's over there," the gravekeeper was about to point out to Momoi where Aomine was standing just now, but suddenly found that the irritable boy who looked like a madman had disappeared all of a sudden, "... seems to have run away? All in all Ah, Momoi-san, be careful."

"Okay, thank you, then, I'll go first." Nodding to the gravekeeper, Momoi carried the packing bag in his hand, stepped on high-heeled shoes, and walked carefully up the uneven stone stairs to Heizi's tombstone. The mature and beautiful woman looked at the picture of the handsome boy, showing a gentle and sweet smile, just like back then.

"...Good morning, Zhejun, you are so handsome and charming today."

"..." Qingfeng youth curled up his tall body and hid behind Heizi's tombstone. Qingfeng Dahui, who was completely huddled in the shadow, almost merged with the darkness. Recognizing the woman in front of her, she was the middle-aged Momoi Itsuki.

After thinking about it, my heart suddenly throbbed, as if I suddenly understood the situation I was in, and understood that under the stone tablet I was close to, the ashes of the person I dreamed about were buried, and I understood I don’t know how many years have passed to the present self, and how close the distance is to the boy at this moment, but I will never be able to put my arms around the boy’s shoulder again, and playfully call the boy “Azhe.”

It’s obviously not like this... Obviously, obviously Azhe is still by my side and uses accelerated passes to me, obviously I am still following Brother Atobe to save Azhe, obviously the living Azhe is still playing with me...

Why did it become like this in the blink of an eye?

"... Zhejun, today's breakfast is vanilla milkshake and hamburger. That idiot Vulcan entrusted me to deliver it to you from the United States. Originally, Xiao Huang also entrusted me to deliver vanilla milkshake and cream to Zhejun. Mushrooms, but let Xiao Huang eat that disgusting thing by himself!" Momoi's mature voice still carried the innocence and shyness of a girl, "Fortunately, my place of work is relatively close to Zhejun, and everyone is close to me. I'm really too busy to let me take advantage of the loopholes and come to see Zhejun every day, just thinking about it makes me feel so happy, right?"

[That guy in May...Xiaohuang is Kise, everyone is everyone...who is that Vulcan? ]

Aomine, who was full of doubts and despair, turned his head slightly, in order to be able to hear Momoi's words more clearly.

"That idiot Ah Da really resigned from the police station today. It seems that since Zhejun left, he has become the same ghost as when he was in the first grade of high school. He reads photo albums every day, does not go to work, and sleeps at night. I followed a group of gangsters to go racing, drink and play cards. I don’t know how many times I cried because of Ah Da. Today, Ah Da has officially submitted his resignation to the police station, saying that he didn’t listen to him, and he couldn’t beat him again. He really changed again. When I became a freshman in high school, Ah Da is now..."

Momoi suddenly choked up.

"...But, Ah Da became like this again, but no Zhejun came to wake him up again."

[......]

Qingfeng pressed his heart firmly, hoping to suppress the endless pain and sadness in his heart. He curled up like a humble mouse, curled up behind the stone tablet, his hands and feet seemed to have been completely frozen Corroded by the darkness, it seems that the whole body is no longer his own. He can only silently recite Heizi's name in his heart. Qingfeng, who has no strength to think, widens his eyes, and buries his head in the void and fear. into the knee.

[…Stop talking, May. ]

[Shut up!Momoi May! ]

"For so many years, we have all embarked on our own paths. Even Ah Da rarely mentions basketball anymore, but ah, only Zhe Jun, only Zhe Jun can persist... Zhe Jun doesn't know... …Every time I see Zhejun’s game, I’m so moved that I cry…” Momoi’s tears welled up in her eyes, her nose was red, her teeth clenched her lower lip tightly, and she tried hard to stop herself from crying loudly, “ But...why Zhejun...is already standing on the court of the NBA finals...obviously...I have already prepared the cake and confessed to Zhejun..."

"Why... Zhe Jun fell down the moment he smiled at us?"

"There are too many people...everyone and I...we haven't even seen Zhejun for the last time...just like that, Zhejun won't smile at me anymore, won't treat me to popsicles anymore, won't Talk to me again...Zhejun...Zhejun..."

[...Enough is enough, don't say any more. ]

Qingfeng suddenly covered his ears tightly with his hands, his teeth chattered uncontrollably, and the cold chill made Qingfeng start to shiver uncontrollably.However, Momoi's voice was like the most vicious spell, lingering clearly and slowly in his ears.

"...Nah, nah, Zhejun, do you know?"

"...The sniper who was instructed by Akashi's business rival...is sitting right behind Ada."

——! ! !

"That's enough for May! I'm fucking telling you to shut up!"

Unbearable, Aomine suddenly stepped out from behind Heizi's tombstone in big strides, stepped in front of Momoi in two steps, grabbed Momoi who was stunned in place because of the excessive shock, clasped Momoi's wrist tightly with his big hand, and easily It made the woman's wrist bruise, "What's wrong with Ah Zhe? Why did Ah Zhe go like this?! Momoi Wuyue, explain it to me clearly!"

"Ah, Ah Da...?" Momoi, who was full of tears, stared blankly at the young boy in front of him, "This is you..."

"MD! I'm in God's light! You're only in the first grade! Tell me what's wrong with Azhe!" Aomine shouted at Momoi angrily and anxiously, "As long as I know, I can avoid it! You know I don’t understand! Time is running out!”

"Time...? Is it running out?" Momoi, who gradually came to his senses, muttered a few words, staring blankly at the self-proclaimed Aomine Daiki in middle school, "Aomine... Daiki—— !"

Before Aomine had time to react, Momoi suddenly raised his hand and slapped Aomine hard! !

The loud voice echoed in the quiet cemetery, before Aomine realized why the sting on his face came from, Momoi's disgusted and disappointed voice came from next to his ear, one word, one pause, incomparable clear--

"If Zhejun didn't know you at the beginning!——It would be fine!"

"It would be great if everyone didn't know Zhejun!"

——"Zhe Jun was killed by you!!"

The sky is spinning like this.

It would be great if Zhejun didn't know you at the beginning.

If only you didn't know Zhejun.

It's fine if you don't know each other.

……

The familiar strong light once again shrouded Aomine, and when Aomine was caught off guard, the face of Momoi Wuyue, who was facing hatred and sadness, gradually blurred, but Momoi's voice was still extremely clear in Aomine's heart, like a Stir it back and forth like a sharp knife.

[It's me... what did I do wrong? ]

[Azhe, Azhe, Azhe, Azhe——]

...I already know each other, so what should I do?

...I'm already a partner, so what should I do?

...I already like it very much, so what should I do?

……

"Aomine-kun? Have you finally gone to the toilet?"

Heizi looked at Qingfeng Daihui who was stunned by the school gate with a blank face, stretched out his hand and shook Qingfeng's eyes.

Behind Kuroko are Akashi Seijuro and Atobe Keigo who saved the world (wrong!) The Age of Miracles and the Ice Emperor Cowherd Group. Coming out of the infirmary, Mukahi and Murasakibara held a friendly exchange meeting on snacks again. Anato and Hiyoshi silently watched Haizaki and Kirishima flirting and flirting, and felt that they wanted to join the FFF group immediately and burn the heterosexuals to death. Midorima seemed to be discussing something with Atobe and Akashi, but Kise and Momoi, who were following at the end... Seeing Aomine's appearance, they immediately cheered up and rushed to Kuroko's side.

"Ada is probably still beeping? Otherwise, why is his face so ugly?"

"Xiao Qingfeng, I didn't mean you. Beeping is not a disease. It's really fatal to get stuck! Hurry up and go to the anorectal department of the hospital (wait!) to have a look~ and it is said that this disease is contagious, Xiao Heizi must not Get close to Qingfeng Fungus!"

"It's the chrysanthemum fungus, right?" Momoi smiled slightly, and held Heizi sweetly, "Sure enough, for the safety of everyone and the smooth flow of the chrysanthemum, let Ah Da go back silently~"

"...First of all, it's not an infectious disease, please Kise-kun to go and study hygiene knowledge. Second, Miss Momoi, please don't say that kind of bad words," Heizi said calmly, "And, if it's Aomine fungus, it should be Does it affect IQ?"

"...Puff! Little blackie, Tetsu-kun, your words are even harsher!" Momoi and Kise covered their mouths at the same time to hold back their laughter, and at the same time guarded against the possibility of a sudden seizure by the expressionless Aomine.

"..." Qingfeng stared at Heizi blankly.

"Mr. Qingfeng?"

Qingfeng's strange silence made Huang Lai and others feel a little surprised, "Little Qingfeng... did you throw your brain in the toilet?"

"...Ada, which toilet? I'll blow up that toilet based on our past friendship."

"Ah, Qingfeng Dahui, what are you doing here? The barrier is gone, let's go."

"That... I'm very sorry... for [me] in that world that made everyone suffer..."

"No, I think it's quite fun. By the way, can you accept me as an apprentice, Mr. Akashi?"

"Mr. Xiangri... how tall are you?"

"...One, 1.6 meters (lying), what's the matter?"

"Very well, I accept it. (Definitely)"

"Mr. Qingfeng?"

Heizi silently stared at Aomine with dull eyes and a strange face. He just wanted to say that this feeling of deep sadness is not suitable for you at all, Aomine-kun. If you continue to play like this, you will pass the ball faster and make your face paralyzed. As a result, the dark boy in front of you suddenly said :

"... Ah Zhe?"

"...It's me, Aomine-kun."

"...you are here, Ah Zhe."

Suddenly uttering a sentence of unknown meaning, Aomine Dahui breathed a sigh of relief, staring at the young man in front of him who still satirized him expressionlessly, looking at his radiant eyes, Aomine couldn't help but Knowing what's going on, I feel my eye sockets are moist.

Unable to recover from the fear just now, and did not dare to touch Heizi, Qingfeng could only stand stiffly in front of Heizi, repeating over and over again:

"...you are here, Ah Zhe is here."

——It’s good that there’s nothing wrong, it’s good that you’re still alive.

"Mr. Qingfeng? Are you... all right?" Heizi twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard Qingfeng muttering something divinely.

"Ah, it's okay, Ah Zhe." Qingfeng pulled up the corner of his mouth and tried to give Heizi a smile, but his face was stiff and bruised and swollen from that slap, "...Ah Zhe."

"Yes, Aomine-kun?"

"...Azhe, I will be fine, we will be fine."

Exhaling heavily, Qingfeng seemed to be declaring or admonishing, "We will play together, we will enter the NBA together in the future, and we will always be good partners—eh? Ah Zhe?!"

Heizi, who silently bypassed the black wall of Aomine, followed the Atobe boy without looking back. Afterwards, the Cowherd Group and his friends from the Age of Miracles also bypassed the convulsed Aomine Daiki one by one, and started yawning and heading out of the school gate go.

"Ah, Akashi, good job this time."

"... Atobe, have you ever wondered where your helicopter went?"

"..."

"Just solve it, solve it...so sleepy...go home, wash and sleep."

"By the way, Akashi kills that wraith Kirishima like this, don't you think it's weird, Kirishima?"

"Ah, not at all, after all, I am fundamentally different from that Kirishima."

"No, when I think about your current personality, I feel...you are still in elementary school! (Fall to the ground)"

"Ah, Senpai Ninzu is so heavy... Senpai Ninzu, what exactly is he here for?"

"Feng, don't worry about him, just drag him on the ground and walk away."

"I'll help, let's go down."

"Morning divination, morning divination, morning divination... Hey! Someone with a radio!"

"When I think about the cultural festival tomorrow, I feel so haggard for no reason."

"Nissan...I..."

"Ah, Tetsuya, follow Akashi to the witch's side for treatment, and send Shinobu to the witch's side, you idiot!"

"Little Heizi, Little Heizi? Does it still hurt? Can I carry you on my back?"

"Sure enough, if Hei Zai and Chi Zai are combined, they will be invincible in the world."

At the end, Ziyuan walked around the petrified Qingfeng logically while eating snacks, and followed the large group towards the outside of the school.

Qingfeng, who was halfway through the confession, in petrochemical: ... We will always be good partners, and you will still be my wife in the future, and I will protect Ah Zhe... Hey, Ah Zhe doesn't hate me like this, don't wait for me to say It's over!
