[Black Basket] Warm Mist

Later, Seirin and Shutoku's players lined up to salute.

Another game that was played almost at the same time as this game has just ended at this moment.Masamune, the "King of the North" in Tokyo, lost to Tonghuang Gakuen, who had the super ace Aomine Daiki.

Reiko Aida flipped through the game schedule, frowning: "Things are a little bit bad... Our next opponent is Zhengbang, and the game time is tomorrow morning. If we can't beat Zhengbang tomorrow, then our ranking will be in danger Ah..."

The joy in Hasegawa Shiho's heart was wiped away by Aida Reiko's words.She also leaned over to study the game arrangement, and then ran to the other side of the field to look at the scores of Zhengbang and Tonghuang.

As Aida Reiko said, things are indeed a little bit bad.Tonghuang was actually more than 30 points higher than Zhengbang, what a terrifying figure!Even if Zhengbang has a weak succession due to the graduation of a group of outstanding players this year, it is unbelievable that the former king ended up with such a dismal score.What's more, the basketball team of Zhengbang University has always been known for its strict defense, and it claims to have one of the few defensive capabilities in the country.It is conceivable that they have just experienced such a fierce battle.

Hasegawa Shiho noticed that the emotions of the players on Zhengbang's side obviously didn't look like they planned to let it go.She was worried that Zhengbang would put all his dignity on the line in tomorrow's game, and worried about Tonghuang's overly powerful strength.

Under the preoccupation, Hasegawa Shiho even forgot about going to Hidetoku to find Midorima to get his panda ballpoint pen back, and left the gymnasium with everyone.

As soon as he walked out of the gymnasium, Heizi suddenly asked, "Aren't you going to get back the ballpoint pen that Hasegawa-senpai lent to Mr. Midorima?"

Hasegawa Shiho stopped suddenly: "Ah! Forgot!"

——That was a gift of love brought back by the eldest brother. It was clearly agreed to only borrow time for one game, how could she just forget it?

Hasegawa Shiho felt that he really shouldn't.So she hurriedly explained the reason to everyone, then turned around and ran back to the gymnasium to find Midori.

Yuuki Mikoto wanted to call Hasegawa Shiho to stop, but she gave up the idea, and then asked with some helplessness: "She said let us not wait for her... So, should a large group of us stay here? Waiting for her to come back here?"

—Of course not.

Counting the coaches, managers, and first-year members who came to cheer and cheer, Seirin had a total of more than 30 people who directly participated in the competition today.If these more than 30 people all lined up and stood stupidly outside the gymnasium, they would definitely be surrounded by students from other schools, and Seirin couldn't afford to lose this face.But it doesn't matter if no one waits for her. Everyone comes and goes together, and no one can be left alone.

Aida Reiko asked Yuki Mikoto and everyone to go back first, while she stayed and waited for Hasegawa Shiho.

After everyone left, Aida Reiko looked at the time and finally decided to go to the gymnasium to find someone.

After all, Hidetoku had just lost to Seirin, and what Hidetoku's substitutes said before the game was not very pleasant. Aida Reiko was afraid that some Hidetoku players would be hostile to Hasegawa Shiho, so she made things difficult for her .

Before she had gone far, Aida Reiko was frightened by Heizi who was following her and screamed: "Ah—?! Heizi-kun?!" Heizi who appeared suddenly said, "You, when did you sneak back? Why didn't you say anything? You scared me to death!"

Heizi with the bag on his back said innocently, "I haven't left."

Aida Reiko shook off a cold sweat, and warned him with lingering fear: "Heizi-kun, please explain your whereabouts in advance next time, if this kind of experience happens a few more times, my heart will completely stop... No, wait Just a moment!" She suddenly stared at Heizi with a gloomy face, "I said, your usual sense of presence is not so low, right? Hmph, did you do it on purpose?"

Heizi didn't speak.

Aida Reiko only pondered for a while, then squinted her eyes and asked him: "...do you also want to go to Midorima?"

Heizi shook his head: "No."

"Oh? It's not Midorima, so what are you doing here? Mikoto and the others know that you didn't go with everyone?" Aida Reiko mobilized her clever head, trying to find the truth of the matter, "Oh, could it be Kuroko? Jun..."

— Could it be something?

Heizi's pupils shrank slightly, and the hand holding the bag strap tightened.

As a result, Aida Reiko's conjecture completely deviated from his prediction: "Could it be that Kuroko-kun is also like me, worried that Xiao Shiho will be embarrassed by Hidetoku's people?"

Heizi remained suspicious for a few seconds: "...well, I'm a little concerned."

Later, he suggested again: "Coach, I'm going to find Hasegawa-sister, you should go first too. Judging from Hasegawa-sister's character, it is difficult for her to get along with Mr. Lujian. Mr. Lvjian and I used to It’s a classmate, so it shouldn’t be a problem for me to deal with him.”

Aida Reiko thought to herself: No, it is actually more difficult for you and Midorima to get along...

But Aida Reiko couldn't think of a good reason to refute for a while, so she had to explain to Heizi a few words such as paying attention to the time, and then asked again not very at ease: "You go alone, is it really okay?" Question?"

Heizi replied, "No problem."

Because Kuroko never said anything he was not sure of, Aida Reiko believed him.

When Aida Reiko caught up with Seirin's team, Yuki Mikoto was about to send people to look for Kuroko who suddenly disappeared: "What's going on, didn't everyone come out of the gymnasium at the same time just now? Didn't he fall behind again? In this way, the first grader returned to the gym the same way to see if he..." Seeing Aida Reiko running over from a distance, Yuki Mikoto's face was full of puzzlement, "...Huh? Reiko-senpai? Where's Hasegawa? Didn't you find her?" This conclusion made her complexion worse, "That's great, Hasegawa and Heizi-kun are gone, otherwise we should all go back and look for them!"

"No need, Kuroko-kun is looking for Xiaoshiho." Aida Reiko stopped Yuki Mikoto in time, "Let's go first."

Yuki Mikoto's expression turned dark for a moment: "...He went to find Hasegawa?"

Aida Reiko knew what Yuki Mikoto was thinking, and she also felt that Kuroko's attention to Hasegawa Shiho seemed a little beyond the normal range, so she could only comfort Yuki Mikoto with little confidence: "It's nothing ..." However, compared to Yuki Mikoto, Aida Reiko was more worried about Hasegawa Shiho.

In fact, Aida Reiko's worries are unnecessary.

Until Hasegawa Shiho was taken out of the gymnasium by Kuroko, she didn't run into Hidetoku's people, let alone find Midorima to get back her panda ballpoint pen.

Hasegawa Shiho, who was in a hurry, asked Kuroko why he appeared here with a sullen expression.Kuroko looked up at the sky, and then told her that Shutoku's team members should have left the lounge long ago, just like Seirin's team members, and even if she turned Shutoku's lounge upside down, she couldn't find her ballpoint pen.

"Mr. Lujian, who lost the game, likes to be alone. Let's go find him first." Heizi said, "If I remember correctly, Mr. Lujian's cart should be in the shed behind the gymnasium."

Facts have proved that Heizi is really good at finding people, and Midorima is indeed standing under a tree behind the gymnasium and sulking.

Takao saw Hasegawa Shiho and Kuroko from a long distance away.He poked Midorima's arm, signaling Midorima to turn around.

Midorima turned around irritably, and found that two people he least wanted to see were walking towards him at the same speed with the same expression.So his mood was extremely bad in an instant: "Takao, go back."

Takao was not as obvious as Midorima: "Hey, Xiaozhen, don't rush away! Give back that little girl's ballpoint pen first! Anyway, we lost after the competition, and the lucky items didn't matter much. It works!" There was a smirk on his lips, "Maybe...Xiaozhen, you shouldn't have borrowed her ballpoint pen as a lucky thing in the first place. Constellations, blood types, etc., the two of you should be very compatible. Bad? Just like you and Heizi."

"Shut up, Takao!" Midorima was furious, "Don't say such sarcastic remarks at this time!"

Takao responded briskly: "Yes, yes, I understand."

When Hasegawa Shiho and Kuroko came to them, Midorima immediately returned the panda ballpoint pen to its original owner.Hasegawa Shiho didn't say much else, but Kuroko and Takao were polite.

"Hey you……"

When the Seirin duo ended with a polite "I'm sorry" at the same time and were about to leave, Midorima suddenly called Hasegawa Shiho: "Your surname is Hasegawa?"

Hasegawa Shiho turned around: "Yes."

Midorima's eyebrows twitched: "Are you a graduate of Teiko? Why didn't you come to Xiude? Your brother is very famous in Xiude."

Takao was stunned: "Huh? Could it be that she is the younger sister of the famous 'genius Hasegawa'?"

Midorima pushed the glasses: "It should be right."

The famous Hidetoku school with a long history once had two "genius Hasegawa", one is the current assistant coach of the national basketball team, and the other is a high-achieving student who was admitted to the Kyoto University School of Medicine, and they both graduated from Teiko Middle School.Logically speaking, Hasegawa Shiho, who also graduated from Teiko Middle School, should also be admitted to Hidetoku, who has a high rate of admission like her brothers, but she chose Seirin.

This is exactly what Greenma couldn't figure out.

Hasegawa Shiho didn't want to answer Midorima's question at first, but Takao's words "the genius Hasegawa's younger sister" aroused her compulsion.

She looked up at Midorima and Takao, with a stubborn expression that refused to admit defeat: "Sorry, I can't bear the title of 'genius Hasegawa's younger sister'. I am who I am, and I don't need to borrow from my brothers." What's more..." She smiled proudly at the Xiude duo, "I heard that Xiude is a school with a lot of history, and the buildings also have 'history'. And we sincerely Rin has a neat school building and beautiful cherry blossom trees, which is much better than Hidetoku. I don’t want to go to Hidetoku.”

When she heard that her school was rejected by this little girl, Midorima's face was dark, and she said unwillingly to show weakness: "What's so good about Seirin? He has no reputation at all! Are you and Kuroko fools who chose Seirin?!"

Heizi protested solemnly: "Mr. Lujian, it's rude of you to say that."

Takao laughed early.

Hasegawa Shiho turned a blind eye to Midorima's anger: "Then, I wish Hidetoku a complete victory in every next round-robin match, and finally be defeated by our Seirin in the finals of the national competition. Goodbye, Tsuicui-senpai!"

Midori: "...you!"

Takao: "...Pfft!"

Heizi: "...Sister Hasegawa, please don't call Midori-kun that way, he will be angry."

Hasegawa Shiho: "Hmph."
