[Comprehensive] Manna's Summer

25#Did you see it?

Although Mana has been clasping her hands tightly and silently praying for Kise Ryota and the others, Kaicho High School lost to Tonghuang Gakuen by 12 points in the end.When the final whistle blew, Mana let go of her clenched white hands, quietly watched Kise Ryota on the field unable to stand up and was supported by his teammates, bit her lip without saying a word.

"Sorry, Lu Shengjun, I have to leave first."

She said softly to Lu Sheng.Nuliang Rikusheng patted her on the shoulder and motioned her to go ahead.

Aomine Daiki walked towards the entrance of the Central Gymnasium expressionlessly.It doesn't matter whether the team is celebrating or recuperating, it doesn't matter what, he doesn't want to stay and watch the defeat of the loser.The goddess of victory will only favor one side, no matter how good the losing side is.For the loser, whatever the winner says is just a bigger mockery.

He has no hobbies that add insult to injury.

"Huh... just go and eat something. I'm hungry after playing basketball for so long." Aomine scratched his hair, "Would you like to eat sukiyaki or ramen... eh?"

His movements suddenly stopped.

The girl walking towards her was wearing a white chiffon dress with a one-neck neckline. Her shoulders and neck were dazzling white, her collarbones were delicate, and her two long three-strand braids swayed with her movements, like the tails of some kind of creature.He was no stranger to that beautiful face, but this familiarity made him shudder at this moment.When she saw him, a smile appeared on that face, and she waved to him very naturally.

"You played very well in that game just now, Aomine-kun."

The girl said with a smile, and then passed Aomine Daiki.

An inexplicable chill climbed up Qingfeng's back, he stood stiffly on the spot, not even daring to turn his head to confirm, a drop of cold sweat slowly slid down his forehead.

"……is that a lie……"

he murmured.

The members of Haichang High School Basketball Club finally sorted out their emotions. When they walked out of the lounge, they had resumed their usual life (chicken) dragon (fly) live (dog) tiger (jump).Haichang's captain Yukio Kasamatsu had a blue vein on his head, and kicked the idiot team member who was yelling "I must avenge my shame next time" passionately to the ground, shouting "Don't quarrel with you idiot! ", the team members next to him were acting as peacemakers hahaha, doing writing and reading to add fuel to the flames, Kise Ryota watched this scene with a dry smile, but his thoughts gradually drifted away.

"Mr. Liang thinks that winning is everything?"

As if returning to that day a year ago, on the rooftop under the setting sun, the girl quietly turned her head and asked.

"Does it need to be said? Isn't it enough to win?"

And the self at that time gave such a casual answer.

The girl was startled when she heard the words, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her lips.But at that time, Kise Ryota didn't understand her expression, but casually added a sentence, "I heard that your CD is on the top of the list again. Congratulations. There is no other band that can compete with you. Is it a balance?"

The girl showed a hurt expression at that moment, she quietly watched Kise Ryota with those eyes, and spoke softly.

"Mr. Liang thinks, is this enough? The sales obtained by using this improper marketing method..."

"Good sales should be enough." Kise looked at Mana puzzled, "When it comes to marketing, as long as there is publicity, there will be marketing. There is nothing wrong with it. There is no need for little Mana to have any pressure. Everyone is sure that you are the best proof, right?"

"...Really?" The girl quietly looked away, her face paled slightly, "I understand."

——What did you understand?

Up to now, Huang Lai couldn't ask her any more.

Even if he finally understood now - winning wasn't everything - there was no way he could tell her.

"...I really want to apologize to Little Mana in person."

Kise Ryota unconsciously said these words.

"Who do you want to apologize to, Kise?"

Yukio Kasamatsu turned his head when he heard that.Huang Lailiang was too stunned, and changed the topic with a smile.

"It's nothing... but senior, you scolded Hayakawa-senpai in a really energetic voice. I thought you had no strength."

Kasamatsu Yukio made a cross on his forehead: "Do you think I'm the same as you, a guy who can't even crawl?!"

"Whoa, don't slap your face, senior! There's still a location job tomorrow!!!"

"You useless bastard!"

"I'm sorry senior!!!"

After the fight, Kise Ryota rubbed his head and stood up, hesitating for a moment before speaking to Kasamatsu Yukio.

"Senior, can I leave for a while, I want to see a friend."

Yukio Kasamatsu frowned, and when he was about to say something, he suddenly stopped, and looked behind Kise Ryota tensely.His eyes moved left and right unnaturally, his neck was stiff, and the base of his ears even had an unnatural blush.Kise Ryo looked at Yukio Kasamatsu's reaction in astonishment, and when she was about to say something, she suddenly felt a light pat on her back.

A smiling female voice rang in his ears.

"Come on, Mr. Liang."

The girl just appeared in Kise's field of vision.The white skirt and the long braid swept across his cheeks, the cold touch disappeared in a flash, she turned her head, and the moment her fair face came into his eyes, Kise's pupils suddenly constricted——

That is such a familiar gentle smile.

When Kise realized that the girl's back had disappeared around the corner, he hurriedly tried to catch up, but his teammate Yutaka Moriyama strangled his neck and smiled at him sinisterly.

"Good boy, when did you meet such a cute girl, even our captain who is phobic can't look away from her?"

Kise looked at Moriyama in disbelief.

"You, you..." He looked at Li Song in a panic, "Have you all seen her?"

His teammates surrounded him silently.

"Yeah, what a beautiful girl! Where did you meet! 'Liu~tai~jun~'"

"Speaking of which, I think she looks like a person..."

"Is it a bit like Seirin's number 11?"

"Which one?"

"The guy who's always invisible on the court... the No. 11 who makes the pass nobody sees."

"Wow... sorry I don't remember what that guy looked like."

"You don't even remember what you were wowing!"

"But that girl looks so good-looking, so good-looking. The captain's face is blushing!"

……

"Why is your face so ugly, Kise?" Amidst the gossip, Yukio Kasamatsu's voice was surprising.When everyone turned around, they noticed that Huang Lai's face had turned completely pale.

He stared blankly at the place where the girl disappeared, his eyes blank.

"But... that's Mana..."

The slightly cold touch on the back still remained, and Kise quietly covered the cloth with his hand, as if holding that cold hand.

"That's Manna..."

He repeated it in a low voice.

Aomine Daiki saw Kuga Aoi again on the Kamogawa Bridge.She overlooked the endlessly flowing river under the bridge, her long black hair fluttering in the wind.

"Hey, why are you here again..."

Qingfeng sighed helplessly.

"Just thinking about something, what kind of eyes do you have!"

Aomine Daiki just silently looked away.

"It's nothing, I just suggest that you don't stand there."

"?"

"The wind is too strong, and the skirt is blown up." Qingfeng stretched out his hand and scratched his head, "I can't tell...do you like Hello Kitty?"

Jiu Wokui blushed immediately!

"You you you——!!!" She pressed her skirt in a panic, glaring at Qingfeng angrily, "Where are you looking at, you bastard!!!"

"I don't want to see it myself..."

"Bastard, bastard!!!" Kugaoi looked even angrier, "Go to hell, bastard!!!"

Aomine managed to save his life from the berserk Aoi, rubbing his head while complaining, "Are all the girls nowadays weird power girls?" Seeing Jiu Wo Aoi squatting on the ground in anger , Qingfeng suddenly thought of another person.

The movements of Qingfeng's hands suddenly stopped.

"Hey, long me."

His voice was low.

"I saw Mana today."

Kugaoi's eyes suddenly widened.

Atsushi Ziyuan carried a large bag of snacks while eating and walked, passing by a girl. Halfway through, he stopped slowly. After being stunned, he decisively took out his mobile phone from his pocket and started making a call.

Because of this, he didn't notice the people walking towards him.

Hei Zizhe was also releasing No. [-] from the backpack, Vulcan Da I looked at the cute dog nervously, neither of them noticed the big man who was walking past them.

However, Murasakihara's lazy voice still reached their ears.

"Hey, Chizai, I saw a real kiss just now. Which real kiss? It's that one, Heizai's sister, Heizi Mana, Heizi Mana."

Hearing this, Vulcan looked at Heizi Tetsuya reflexively, only to see him unable to move.Heizi's fingers twitched, and number two let out an uncomfortable cry in his hand.

"Kuroko……"

The boy's pupils dilated, as if he had stopped breathing.It wasn't until Vulcan grabbed his shoulder that he squeezed out a few syllables from his throat.

"elder sister……"

Hei Zizhe also stared blankly ahead.

"Sister...are you still...resentful..."

***

Luoshan High School.

Erika Futekoji, who was sorting out the materials beside Seijuro Akashi, immediately dropped the materials in her hand to the ground after hearing what the person on the other end of the phone said.

Her pupils slowly constricted, and she gasped for breath, as if she was screaming silently, but finally managed a distorted smile.

"... Mana?"

A fierce storm was suppressed in her eyes.

"He saw... Mana?"

***

Did you hear it?

That voice that kept echoing in the darkness.

That is--

The sound of the monster waking up.

At this moment, the huge monster bred by the human heart uttered its first cry.
