[Black Basket] Warm Mist

Chapter 23 Is it an illusion?

Yi Yue vomited in the bathroom for a long time before being rescued by kind Tsuchida.

After reading the basketball magazine for a while, everyone left.After Aida Reiko and others left, Kuroko took the initiative to help Hasegawa Shiho clean their used glasses and put them in the cabinet.

It is very different to have a large group of boys in the family than to have only one boy.Although Hasegawa Shiho had been alone with Kuroko a few times before, but after all, it was just Kuroko taking her home, and he didn't feel anything special on the road full of pedestrians and vehicles around him.Now that Kuroko is at her house, and there is no one else in her house, Hasegawa Shiho couldn't help feeling a lot of unspeakable awkwardness in his heart.

Kuroko saw Hasegawa Shiho's discomfort, so she silently lowered her sense of existence, trying to let her relax a bit.But the more deliberately he behaved, the weirder the atmosphere became.In the end, even Hasegawa Shiho can hardly find Kuroko, but she feels that Kuroko seems to be everywhere-this is really an excellent start to a horror novel.

Hasegawa Shiho, who didn't intend to keep the weird atmosphere going, simply picked up the topic: "Senior Kuroko, can I trouble you to increase your sense of presence? I know it's rude to say that, but I really don't want to be frightened by my senior at home. Broken heart."

Heizi's voice came from behind her diagonally: "Sorry, I didn't think carefully."

Since Kuroko had asked Hasegawa Shiho in advance and learned that her second brother would be able to return to Tokyo from Kyoto this afternoon, he stayed at Hasegawa's house waiting for Hasegawa Yuki's arrival.

Hasegawa Shiho was a little embarrassed: "Actually, it's my own problem..." It was not Hasegawa Shiho's original intention to ask the senior to apologize. Out of a compensatory mentality, she suggested: "Senior Kuroko wants to see what my elder brother gave me before. Autographed photos of players? I have the most complete autographed photos and posters of domestic basketball stars, and there are more than a dozen overseas ones, all of which my elder brother asked for back for me when he went abroad with the team. "

A shining star blinked in Heizi's eyes, and he nodded with great enthusiasm: "I want to see it! Thank you!"

Just like that, Hasegawa Shiho carried a large iron box out of the study.Open the iron box, which is full of signed photos or posters of different players, and there are a few postcards full of blessings and encouragement next to them.

Hasegawa Shiho shrugged the postcard aside embarrassedly: "This is a small gift from a player trained by my elder brother when I watched the game last summer."

Heizi only caught a glimpse of the words "Thank you Xiaozhisui..." on the postcard, but didn't see the rest clearly.Then, as he flipped through piles of photos and posters, he took out a signed photo of Boykins and looked at it carefully.

Seeing him stop, Hasegawa Shiho leaned over and took a look: "Boikins? Does Senior Kuroko also like this type of player?"

Heizi put the autographed photo back into the box, and looked through the rest of the photos again: "It's okay."

Shiho Hasegawa couldn't help but start talking: "I admire point guards like Boykins and Yuta Tanwo. Although they are not tall, they have a strong control over the ball and can always judge quickly. The direction of the game is a typical player with a brain. Of course, if possible, it is true that a taller point guard can gain more initiative! But my second brother also said that if you want to play basketball well, you must not only Height, skills are equally important."

Heizi suddenly asked her: "Sister, have you watched the final of the Winter Cup? If we meet Luoshan again this time, who will win?"

Hasegawa Shiho tilted his head to think for a moment, and then replied uncertainly: "Well...Luoshan's playing style is more inclined to cooperative offense. They are a typical two-point guard lineup of one big and four small. , There is a tall and strong center Nebuya Yongkichi on the inside, Hayama Kotaro and Mibuchi Reo on the outside, Dai Chihiro and Akashi-senpai are point guards. It is incredible that such a formation can be broken by us. With the character of Akashi-senpai, If he could not find a more suitable person, he would not have chosen Dai Qianxun, who was already under pressure to enter higher education. Now Dai Qianxun has graduated like the third-year players from several other strong basketball schools. As far as I know , There are not many really capable players among the freshmen this year, so our chances of winning are very high—unless Akashi-senpai can train a certain freshman into an enhanced version of the third-generation Phantom Sixth Man."

Kuroko glanced at Hasegawa Shiho, and asked again: "Isn't Akashi-kun Mr. Yuuki's rival in love? Why does the school girl still respect him so much?"

Hasegawa Shiho explained: "I don't mean to praise Akashi-senpai! If Kuroko-senpai can train his physical fitness like Akashi-senpai, and can easily dunk in the siege with a height of less than 1.7 meters [-], then I I don’t even feel how powerful he is.”

Heizi puffed up his cheeks: "I can't do it."

"That's why Kuroko-senpai has to increase the scoring rate." Hasegawa Shiho made the final decision, "You and Akashi-senpai are two different types, so you don't have to force yourself to become him."

Heizi cheered himself up: "Well, I will work hard."

During the conversation, Heizi had browsed through all the signed photos and posters.While arranging these things neatly into the iron box, he asked ambiguously: "So what does my junior think of Akashi-kun?"

Hasegawa Shiho didn't hesitate: "Senior Akashi is very powerful. I have analyzed all of our Seirin opponents before, and he can be regarded as the most comprehensive player, not even worse than the national players. My elder brother has always regretted his prominent family background, otherwise the country The team has already recruited him to join the team for training." She sighed, as if the person who regretted it was not Hasegawa Renichi, but herself, "Akashi-senpai should take over the family affairs after graduation, right? Like him People from a family background are unlikely to choose to play professional games-ah, what a waste.”

"...Could it be that junior girl likes professional players very much?"

Hasegawa Shiho put the lid on the iron box: "I can't say whether I like it or not, but I think professional players are very good."

Heizi stopped talking.

After a while, Hasegawa Shiho, who put the tin box back into the study, noticed that Kuroko seemed a little depressed, so he asked, "What's wrong, senior?"

Kuroko's forehead hair blocked his eyes, and Hasegawa Shiho couldn't see his expression clearly from the angle he was at.He lowered his head, casually flipped through a magazine on the sofa, and replied in a flat tone: "It's okay, I'm just a little angry with myself."

"what?"

Hasegawa Shiho didn't understand the reason for his sudden anger, but she didn't ask any further questions, but turned around and sat opposite Kuroko, holding a book on the strategy and tactics of basketball games and read with relish.

Nearly an hour later, the door of Hasegawa's house was opened.

Hasegawa Shiho's ears twitched slightly when he heard the sound, thinking it was his second brother.So when this person walked into the hallway, her eyes were still glued to the book.

But she didn't forget to say hello to her brother: "Second brother, you came back so early! Do you want juice? I squeezed it just now and kept it in the refrigerator. Senior Heizi has been waiting for you for a long time, so hurry up and start after drinking the juice."

This person revealed his identity as soon as he opened his mouth: "Shisui, why is your senior at our house?"

Hasegawa Shiho threw away the book in his hand and got up to welcome his elder brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time: "Brother! You came back today? Why didn't you tell me? I can go to the airport to pick you up!"

Heizi also stood up from the sofa and bowed politely: "Hi, Mr. Hasegawa, excuse me."

"Hello, welcome." Brother Hasegawa responded casually, then stared at Heizi like a poisonous snake at a frog, but said to his sister: "There is a special car to take us back to the gymnasium after leaving the airport, and it is still necessary You pick me up? According to you, Yuuki is going home this afternoon?"

Hasegawa Shiho was in a pretty good mood: "Second brother will be home this afternoon. Anyway, he's on summer vacation, and he's almost done his research. He can finally go back to Tokyo to play with me!"

Hasegawa Renichi naturally knew why his sister was happy.The eldest brother, who was robbed of the limelight by his younger brother, was already upset. When he got home, he saw a "senior sunspot" sitting across from his younger sister. Brother Hasegawa felt a thorn in his throat, and had the illusion of being attacked.Therefore, Renichi Hasegawa, who was attacked from both sides, threw the suitcase at the entrance, hurriedly changed his shoes, ran into the kitchen, and took out the juice left by his sister for his brother from the refrigerator without saying a word.

However, the younger sister added fuel to the fire and shouted to him in the living room: "It doesn't matter if the eldest brother drinks it all! Anyway, the second brother came back late, and I was about to squeeze some fresh ones for him."

——This is really a sad story.

Hasegawa Renichi silently rinsed the empty glass several times.

About half an hour later, Hasegawa Yuuki finally arrived home.As soon as he entered the door, he saw the suitcase left by the elder brother in the entrance: "When did the elder brother come back? Where are the others? Why didn't you pack your things in?"

Hasegawa Shiho said: "Brother just came back, he looks a little depressed, maybe he is tired. I guess he is jet lagged now, so let's not disturb his rest." She walked over to hold the second brother's hand, coquettishly Shaking, "Second Brother, Senior Heizi seems to have encountered a bottleneck in his shooting training. Although he can overcome it by himself, it is better to have someone guide him from the side, so... I will help you organize things, and you can help Senior Heizi analyze his problem. Bar?"

Hasegawa Yuki scratched his sister's nose with his index finger, and asked amusedly, "Is my labor so cheap?" He only brought back a few changes of clothes from Kyoto, even if his sister helped him pack his luggage. It doesn't take much time either.

Hasegawa Shiho said: "Oh, my second brother is not jet-lagged anyway, so why not help me a little bit? If our school can win the first place in the national competition, then your sister will be the coach of 'No. [-] in Japan'." gone."

"Yes, yes, the future No. [-] coach in Japan." Hasegawa Yuki raised his hands in surrender, "I will help, and I will do my best to help."

While his younger sister was busy packing her clothes, the second brother Hasegawa glanced at Heizi and said jokingly, "Why do I feel that your status is about to surpass that of my second brother?"

Heizi replied calmly, "It's an illusion...probably."
