[Comprehensive] Manna's Summer

14#Untouchable you

When Heizi walked out of this alley with Vulcan, he suddenly spoke.

"Student Vulcan, we must win tomorrow's competition."

The boy's water-blue eyes were full of determination.He looked back at the alley for the last time, clenched his right hand into a fist in his pants pocket,

——Even if it’s for my sister.

***

The next day, in the national competition, Seirin High School vs. Tonghuang High School.However, it was not until the second half that Tonghuang High School's main player, Aomine Daiki, played.His fast-paced and reckless style of play completely disrupted Seirin's rhythm, and it didn't get better until Kuroko Tetsuya played again.When Kuroko and Aomine faced each other on the court, Mana let out a long sigh in the audience.

"What's wrong?" Lu Sheng asked her.

Mana just shook her head slightly, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"It's just that... it's kind of hard to describe..." She looked quietly at the two on the basketball court, "They used to be best friends. When he was in Diguang Middle School, the person who helped Azhe the most in basketball was Qingfeng-kun, I still remember that at that time, he kept practicing with Azhe and encouraged him. When Azhe entered the first army, Aomine-kun was happier than anyone else. Azhe did not perform well when he participated in the official competition for the first time. He was demoted to the third army, and Aomine-kun even told the supervisor that he was willing to demote with Azhe... At that time, no matter what, it was impossible to imagine that they would become like this one day."

The arena where they once fought side by side, but now they set foot on the field again, but they are already opponents.

"Does Lu Sheng-kun think that winning is everything?" Mana suddenly asked a strange question.

"I don't think so." Lu Sheng thought of Bingli, Shouwu, and Qingtianfang's subordinates, and smiled, "Companions are more important than winning."

"Yes." Mana lowered her eyes slightly, "It's not enough to win."

Her gaze finally fell on the blue lotus bracelet on her wrist.Lu Sheng followed her gaze, hesitated for a moment, and opened his mouth.

"I've always wanted to ask... are you, Kuga Aoi, Fute Koji Erika... really still friends? I checked the newspapers over the past year, and after debuting, there have been many reports of discord between you and Kuga Aoi. Especially the thing about 'votes determine ranking'..."

"It's friends." Mana raised her eyes and looked at Lu Sheng quietly, "No matter what happens, Aoi and Erica are my friends. And... Aoi will never harm me."

She turned her gaze to the audience.

"Aoi is a very proud person." I don't know what came to mind, Mana smiled, "She doesn't bother to use low-level methods, 'If it is not an upright victory, there is no meaning', this is her mantra. Kaoru-kun once planned Aoi made a fuss with her ballots, and destroyed all the questionable ballots. If she won by dirty means, Aoi would be the most painful one. Aoi, In fact, he is very stubborn in this regard.”

"So, what about Erika Futekoji?"

Mana was startled.

"Erica...Erica has no reason to kill me. Whether it's ranking, victory, honor, or philosophy...Erica doesn't care about everything. Don't look at her always smiling, Elektra Lika actually cares about very few things. Speaking of which, she is the one with the best mentality among us since her debut. What marketing methods she uses, what songs she sings, what she does... She doesn’t care about all of them. She In fact, there is nothing I want, as long as the three of us can sing together. I can't think of... a reason why Erica would harm me."

"is it?"

Lu Sheng thought deeply.A burst of exclamation from the audience interrupted his thoughts, and the two looked over in unison, seeing that Aomine Daiki stopped Heizi Tetsuya's accelerated pass.

Both the two basketball teams and the audience on the stage were all excited.

"Really, you can stop that invisible pass!"

"I didn't even notice when the number 11 was on the court!"

"Amazing!"

With his keen eyesight, Lu Sheng saw what Qingfeng was saying to Heizi, he squinted his eyes and matched his lips——

"... Who do you think is the person who received the most passes?"

Mana quietly watched the audience, and when she heard these words, her shoulders suddenly trembled.I don't know if it reminds me of the Emperor Guang period, but there is a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"At that time, everyone was always looking in the same direction." She looked a little dazed, and she didn't know who she was talking about. "When did it start? We will never walk on the same road again."

"Obviously...we worked hard for the same goal. We worked so hard together."

***

In the end, Seirin lost to Emperor Tong by an overwhelming margin.

In the bathroom, Captain Seirin Junpei Hinata, who had encouraged the team just now, beat the sink hard, and his angry growls filled the empty bathroom.

"Damn...Damn! Why can't I win! Why can't I still win!"

The memory of being crushed by the "Generation of Miracles" in junior high school came back to Hinata at this moment, and the sense of powerlessness that made him give up playing basketball came back again.Hinata Junpei gritted his teeth, and swallowed all the frustration with unwilling tears.When he raised his head again, he was the firm Captain Seirin again.

"It's just one loss." He stared at himself in the mirror, "It's too early to say give up."

Yes, it's too early.

"It's not over yet."

Hinata, who cheered up again, walked out of the bathroom and walked towards the locker room.Unexpectedly, he saw a girl who was too beautiful to be real outside the locker room.The long water-blue hair was braided into two long three-strand braids hanging down her side, like a cat's tail.She gently supported the door with her hand, leaning her forehead on the back of her hand, listening to the faint crying inside the door, without saying a word.Hei Zizhe's dog named No. [-] ran out at some point, crouched beside her and wagged its tail at her.

The girl squatted down slowly, a tear rolled down her cheek, she couldn't speak, so she could only smile.

It was an indescribable smile.

She just laughed like this, but the tears couldn't stop falling down. Number Two leaned over and licked away her tears.She stretched out her hand and gently stroked No. [-]'s head, and said softly, please, go and comfort Ah Zhe, even if it's just to accompany him.

"Because that's something I can't do anymore."

Junpei Hyuga was startled, and when he came back to his senses, the girl was no longer there, only No. [-] wagged his tail, turned around and ran into the locker room.

"Is that... someone from Heizi?"

***

When Lusheng found Mana, what he saw was the scene where the boy wearing Seirin's uniform and glasses passed directly through Mana's body.

And the girl just stood there quietly, just like the moment when Seirin left the stage, she rushed to hug her younger brother, but her fingers passed through him.

Quietly, standing there without saying a word, watching him quietly, watching him pass through his body.

Yeah, she's already a ghost.Can't touch people, can't be touched by people.

The moment she saw Lu Sheng, Mana smiled slightly.The corners of the eyes that had just wiped away the tears were still red, but they still smiled at him.

She said, "Even if I'm not around, Ah Zhe will be fine, right, Mr. Lu Sheng?"

Lu Sheng could only pat her on the head and gently stroke the top of her hair.

"Well, it'll be fine." He whispered, "Because you're still so worried about him."

Mana held her wrist, the touch of the bracelet under her palm made her calm down slowly, she closed her eyes, and her voice gradually lowered.

"...that's enough."

At the same time, Aomine Daiki dragged Kuga Aoi, who was in a daze, from the bridge.
