[Black Basket] Warm Mist

Thanks to the tutoring, the basketball club completely eliminated the failure phenomenon in the academic ability test-especially the main players in the club.As the exam turmoil subsides, the date for Seirin's first match in this year's Winter Cup is approaching.

Due to the competition, more and more people in the basketball club have drastically changed their personalities. In addition to the captain lowering the flag, the coach Hasegawa Shiho, who should maintain a normal mind, also became irritable.

If the general staff are restless, the majesty of the captain can suppress them to clear their minds through rigorous training or deep reflection, but when this person becomes a coach, the poor little fellows who care about each other can only resign themselves to their fate Arms beat legs and feet, and continue to put limited life into infinite practice.

The basketball department ushered in another political crisis.

One day after the devil's training, some people wondered if the coach had lost his love, which is why he tortured everyone like this.Heizi thought for a while, and gave the closest answer: "Maybe I just miss my family."

——What a cruel way of thinking!

The members who collapsed on the ground felt exhausted in an instant.

As for the truth of the matter?Only Hasegawa Shiho himself knew clearly.

Just the day before the opening ceremony of the Winter Cup, Hasegawa Shiho, who had been depressed for a long time, received a call from Kuroko, saying that the manager wanted to buy some necessities for the basketball team, so he wanted to ask the coach to go over the details.

Hasegawa Shiho asked instantly: "Are there enough funds for the event?"

After all, it's the end of the year, the first two semesters have passed, and with the national competition in the summer, it is estimated that the account book has begun to show a deficit, so her doubts are justified.

Heizi answered immediately: "The most important thing at the moment is the Winter Cup. The manager said that there is still enough money to prepare for a match."

Hasegawa Shiho mentally calculated the income and expenditure of the basketball club, "...I doubt it."

Kuroko, who was holding the phone, looked at Yuki Mikoto.

Yuki Mikoto, who was watching the whole process, snatched Heizi's cell phone and rolled her eyes angrily, regardless of whether the other party could see it or not: "Dear coach, yes, very, very much! So, as long as we can get the front There are four of them, and they have enough money to eat a barbecue."

Because Seirin is a new school, the school directors are particularly enthusiastic about anything that can improve the school's popularity, but any club that can get a good ranking in the national competition will be able to stand out in the next year's club budget meeting.Besides——

"Even if you have no money, you have to buy what you should buy! First aid kits, score books, markers, mock whiteboards..."

Yuki Mikoto, who reported several items in one breath, paused for a moment, then told Hasegawa Shiho the location, and then ordered the girl on the other side of the phone in an unquestionable tone: "Listen to Heizi-kun and Vulcan-kun saying here It's not far from your home, so, my dear Coach Hasegawa, I only allow you to arrive within half an hour!"

Before Hasegawa Shiho could answer, Yuki Mikoto hung up the phone and returned the phone to Kuroko happily.

Heizi: "Student Yuki, this is my cell phone." Is it really okay for you to cut off the call casually like this?

Yuki Mikoto felt like letting out a bad breath: "Yes, I know this is your mobile phone. Otherwise, I won't give it to you."

Heizi: "...Should I say thank you for using it?"

Yuki Mikoto waved her hand seemingly generously: "It's a trivial matter, so don't be thankful."

For Yuki Mikoto, talking to a boy she once liked like this is somewhat awkward.Even though she had already decided to give up this hopeless first love, she couldn't let go of the grudge in her heart for a while.But Yuki Mikoto also didn't want to turn herself into a hypocritical person.

So she tried to face Heizi with a normal heart: "Actually, you should thank me for trying my best to help you call out Hasegawa. Although I can probably guess your intentions, I am not a person who likes to meddle .It's just that our coach really can't be depressed anymore. Girls, it's quite helpful to go shopping when you're in a bad mood!"

"Really?" The Vulcan, who had been jointly suppressed by Kuroko and Yuki Mikoto from just now, couldn't help it anymore, "I don't know if that guy Hasegawa is in a good mood; but I know I'm in a very bad mood now !"

Early in the morning, when I was sleeping under the warm and soft quilt, the phone rang non-stop, as if urging me to death. At first I thought that something big happened, but when I picked up the phone, I found out that it was done in such an outrageous way. No one would be happy waking someone up just to help the manager with something.

According to Vulcan, he is the protagonist of the above story (perhaps an "accident"?).He has his reasons for being unhappy.

"Vulcan Lord." Heizi's face was serious.

"...What, why?" Vulcan, who had known Heizi's nature for a long time, took a half step back.

——Tsk, what is this sudden ominous premonition going to be?

Ignoring that his good partner Vulcan Lord is approaching a formidable enemy, Heizi remains calm as usual: "When shopping together, carrying things for girls is what boys should do. Don't you think Vulcan Lord doesn't think so?"

Vulcan was stunned: "It sounds right..." But why does it always feel weird?

The idiot god is so stupid that Yuuki Mikoto can't bear to look at him.

The dull Vulcan pondered for a long time before suddenly reacting: "Wait, of course I don't think so! Heizi! Are you misleading me on purpose?!" He had no shopping plans in the first place, and Heizi called him here The manager is carrying things.So the question arises, what any member of the basketball club can do, why do you have to force yourself out who is in desperate need of sleep?

"What enmity do I have with you..."

Vulcan had a tormented and desperate expression on his face: Can you do it all?

——Hey, have there been "[-] examples of how heartbreaking it is to have Kuroko Tetsuya as a partner"?

Mikoto Yuuki watched Seirin's golden partner's bickering for a while, and then began to educate Vulcan: "Vulcan-kun, don't wink like this, do you understand? I'll wink at you later, and you should find him quickly." Make an excuse to slip away."

The dazed Vulcan Taiga: "...why?"

Speechless Yuki Mikoto: "...it's nothing."

"Ahem," Yuuki Mikoto also felt heartbroken with a skeletal face that seemed to understand, "In short, if you don't want to be additionally trained by Hasegawa—you're right to listen to me anyway, otherwise You will regret it."

Vulcan's whole body shuddered, and a chill came from behind his back: "Understood!"

Ten minutes later, Shiho Hasegawa joined the shopping team, and Mikoto Yuki had already finalized the shopping list with the other two team members.

After Yuki Mikoto led the charge into the sporting goods store and swiftly swept away the items on the shopping list, she pushed everything into Vulcan's hands forcefully: "Let's go, check out."

After paying the bill, the big and small bags are still carried by Vulcan.The four walked out of the specialty store, but Heizi stood motionless at the door.

"Sorry, it just occurred to me that I need to buy a bracer."

Yuki Mikoto was about to speak, but Vulcan spoke first: "Hey, that's right! I want to buy again..."

"Just right!" Yuuki Mikoto caught Kagami without any effort, "You just happen to help me send my things back to school!"

Vulcan was very clever once: "The store can deliver the goods to your door!"

Heizi gave Vulcan an elbow calmly, and the defenseless Vulcan immediately bent over in pain: "Heizi! You!"

Yuki Mikoto interrupted decisively: "What is delivered to your door? You pay for the service fee?"

Vulcan, with veins popping out of his forehead, cried out in pain, "Hey! Isn't it free?"

"It's not free from now on, I have the final say." The domineering manager grabbed Seirin's ace Kagami, "Let's go!"

"Wait! Heizi didn't want to..."

"He has Hasegawa, so he doesn't need you!"

"But I also want to..."

"It's not too late for you to buy it tomorrow!"

"Why are you...unreasonable..."

"You're just...a fool..."

The back-and-forth conversation between the two became farther and farther away, and in the end, only a few sporadic words floated in. They walked through the traffic lights and turned a corner, and their backs disappeared across the street.

"So," Hasegawa Shiho, who seemed to be forgotten by Yuuki Mikoto, looked forward and looked at Kuroko beside him, "What kind of wristbands does Kuroko-senpai want to buy? Is there a brand you particularly like?"

Heizi shook his head: "Not really, as long as it's easy to use."

Although Heizi said that he didn't particularly like the brand, nor did he have any special requirements, but he visited three specialty stores in a row, but he couldn't find a satisfactory wristband.Although it is a good thing to keep improving, if it is used when buying things, it is really enough to kill people.

Fortunately, Hasegawa Shiho had enough patience and was still willing to accompany Heizi one by one to find the wristband that could catch his eyes.During this period, she also bought a pair of wristbands that she thought were quite good, and planned to give them to her elder brother who occasionally practiced with itchy hands; later, she even bought two thermos cups and a few other gadgets—clearly Accompanying others to buy things, but she was able to do so vigorously.

Finally, Heizi finally bought the wristband he wanted in a store.

"It's exactly the same as the wristband that senior used before?" Hasegawa Shiho swore that he absolutely didn't mean to complain about senior.

"Well, it's the same." Heizi walked out of the specialty store with Hasegawa Shiho side by side with the bag containing the wristband, "Because I'm used to it, so..."

Hasegawa Shiho realized: "It turns out that Senpai is a nostalgic person."

Heizi said, "It's not considered nostalgia."

The two walked for a while, before passing the traffic light, Heizi suddenly asked again, "Do you feel better?"

"...Huh?" Shiho Hasegawa was slightly taken aback by the question.

Heizi explained: "I mean mood."

"My mood..." Hasegawa Shiho looked at the traffic light opposite, his eyes were a little empty, "I think it's pretty good."

Heizi gave her a disapproving look, "It's not allowed to lie. If we always use lies to cover ourselves, we will only get more and more tired and feel worse."

"Hmm..." Hasegawa Shiho was absent-minded.

"Green light."

Kuroko, who was the first to notice the change in traffic lights, pulled Hasegawa Shiho, who was still distracted.

After crossing the road, Heizi said, "I asked classmate Yucheng to call you out to go shopping, just to let you relax, instead of being bored at home all the time."

"Yeah." Hasegawa Shiho nodded obediently.

Heizi then warned her: "Don't force yourself too much. Although I don't know what is bothering you, I believe that Shiho, you will be able to overcome it. If you really can't overcome it...and we can help you, everyone We can figure it out together."

Looking at Kuroko's face that can make people feel at ease instantly, Hasegawa Shiho opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't express the question that was lingering in his heart these days.

For some reason, she just couldn't tell Heizi frankly that she might go abroad.

As if seeing Hasegawa Shiho's embarrassment, Kuroko looked at her quietly, "It's okay, I didn't ask Shiho to tell the whole story right now."

Shiho Hasegawa felt relieved.

As for the urge to talk that suddenly came to my mind just now?

——Forget it, since Senior Heizi said so, then it’s alright to discuss it with him later, right?

Hasegawa Shiho thought so.
