[Comprehensive] Manna's Summer

31# Heizi's sister

The ball still passed the basket.Heizi put his hands on his knees, panting.Big beads of sweat hit the ground, he grabbed the collar to wipe the sweat off his face, and fanned himself by fanning the collar, but he still couldn't dispel the steaming heat.Heizi took a deep breath, and took another weary step to get the basketball.

However, he saw the girl standing next to the ball basket.

"elder sister?"

"Come here, Azhe."

Hei Zizhe walked over as he said, but stopped three steps away from Mana. He waved to Mana, motioning her not to come.

"Just after playing, the smell of sweat is very strong, and it will smoke you."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mana laughed, and threw the white towel hanging on her arm onto Heizi's head, "Didn't I wash the clothes you change every day? I'm used to it. See you and just It looks like it was fished out of the water, come here and let me wipe it for you...Huh?"

"what happened?"

Seeing his sister stop wiping his hair, Hei Zizhe also looked at her with some puzzlement.Mana looked at him for a while, and pulled him to her side regardless of the smell of sweat on his body, shoulder to shoulder and arm against arm. Heizi was not used to such an intimate posture, and wanted to pull his arm out, but He was held down by Mana.

"Don't move, let me see."

"Look at what?"

"Hmm..." Mana compared the heads of the two of them with her hands, "You've grown taller, Ah Zhe."

"……what?"

"Look, it's...two or three centimeters taller? Or one or two centimeters?"

Hei Zizhe also turned his head to look at her in surprise, only to realize that the twin sister who had always been poured out of the same mold as him, now he can look down on her a little bit.After entering adolescence, even twin siblings began to show some differences.In the future, they will only become more and more different.

No, it was never the same.

It is different from him who has no sense of existence and can only be ignored like a shadow.My sister is a person who can be seen at a glance even among ten thousand people, shining like the sun.Beautiful, excellent, gentle, omnipotent, warm sister like the sun.They are obviously twins, but they are completely different from him.Like a child of light.

"Shall we go shopping for new clothes this weekend? Ah Zhe has grown taller, so he needs to buy bigger clothes. Once a boy starts to grow, he will grow as fast as if he is blown up. It is very difficult not to buy clothes in advance. There will be nothing left to wear soon. Well, buy a new pair of shoes too. If you play basketball, you need better sneakers."

In the gentle whispers, Heizi slowly lowered his eyes and responded softly.

"Well, good." Heizi's voice was clear and calm, "Summer is here, you should also go buy a new skirt."

"Huh? My clothes are still enough."

"Go and buy one." Heizi insisted.

"...Okay." Mana smiled, stretched out her hand to signal Heizi to lower her head, and continued to wipe his hair, "Azhe also knows how much she loves her sister."

"Because you don't know how to worry about yourself." Heizi's voice was flat.

"Where is it?"

"Every time I go shopping, I can't think of people who buy things for me. I really don't have any awareness of this kind of thing."

"But I don't have anything I need..."

"I'm growing tall, so you are growing too. Haven't you been complaining about ankle pain for several days? You urged me to take calcium tablets every day, but you didn't realize that you should also take calcium supplements?"

"……Eh?"

Kuroko sighed softly, pulled Mana's hand off, and changed the topic.

"How is the society?"

When Mana heard this, a smile appeared on her face again.

"Well, it's good. Xun-kun—that's what I mentioned to you last time, Aoi's brother—has been guiding us to sing together recently. He said that our cooperation is too bad, and he took us to the game hall last week, so that We are practicing coordination on the dance machine. If you don’t get the same score, you won’t pass the level... I practiced for a week before I could barely keep up with Aoi and Erica. Aoi is really amazing. It is said that she is proficient in five dances. It looks different from us... Is it the aura or what? Anyway, no one can take their eyes off her when she dances. Speaking of which, I can keep up with their rhythm, thanks to Aoi Now teach me how to dance."

"Do you want your family to pay for you to enroll in a dance class?"

"No need, Aoi will teach me, she's very good. I'll just practice more when I get home." Mana shook Heizi's hand, "Go back and show you my new dance steps?"

"it is good."

"By the way, how long do you have to train? It seems that there are not many people in the basketball hall."

"I'll practice for a while. Go sit there and wait for me."

"Okay."

Mana walked over to the bench and sat down, smiling at the boy who was packing his schoolbag.

"Sugashita-san also trained so late today."

"Huh?" The freckle-faced boy looked up in surprise, "You know me?"

"When I came here a few times before, I noticed the name on your indoor shoes. I remember that Sugishita-san seems to be very good at three-pointers, right? I saw that you shot three-pointers very accurately during training."

"It's not very good at all..." the boy scratched his head and laughed, "Midorima from the First Army is the best. He can almost hit every shot. I'm still far behind."

"Huh? But I think Sugishita-san is already great."

"Hey." The boy blushed in embarrassment.

"Come on, as long as you work hard, you will definitely be better than now."

Mana said with a smile.Seeing her smile, the boy blushed even more.

"I remember you are...whose sister is it?"

"Heizi's older sister. My name is Mana. Heizi Mana." She bowed slightly to the boy, "My family, Azhe, is usually taken care of by you."

"I can't even talk about caring for you..." The boy scratched his head and thought for a long time before he remembered who 'Heizi' was, "...Heizi, it must be that little guy with a low sense of existence. If you are his sister, Remember to take good care of him, he seems a bit unable to bear the training intensity of the Teiko Basketball Club, and he is often seen throwing up in the toilet. It is good to like basketball...but the body is more important."

Mana was startled.The water-blue eyes subconsciously chased the figure of Heizi running on the basketball court.

"……I see."

"Mr. Xun said he wrote a few songs for us recently."

On the way back, Mana held Kuroko's arm and said so.

"Write a song?"

"Well. Xun-kun said that although he is into punk, he can also write a few pop songs. So he wrote songs for us and prepared to make a CD to participate in the summer fan exhibition in August. Xun-kun said to do 100 copies of the test first. Let’s test the response, this CD is for us to play. But I’m so happy, I never thought that the songs I sang could be recorded into a CD.”

"Sister's song, everyone will definitely like it."

"That's not just my song, Zhe. It's the three of us—it's the bios song." Mana said with a smile.

On the dark blue sky, countless stars are twinkling. Under the brilliant lights of Tokyo, those stars from hundreds of millions of light-years away appear so dim.But there is still the brightest star, shining brightly in the distance.Mana suddenly stopped in her tracks, Heizi turned her head sideways, only to see her looking up at the profile of thousands of stars.

"Does Ah Zhe like basketball?"

"I like it." Heizi's voice was flat, but his answer was very decisive.

"...Really." She smiled, seeming to restrain her emotions, "Then, let's work hard."

"Well. I will." He quietly stared at her side face, "You also have to work hard."

"Ok?"

"Singing. You like singing very much. So do your best."

Mana opened her eyes slightly, and smiled slowly.

"Okay." She looked back at Heizi tenderly, "Let's do our best together."

No matter what awaits us ahead.For our respective dreams, we all have to work hard together.

Erika Futekoji did not expect to receive a call from Kaoru Kuga.

"Hey, I really didn't expect Mr. Xun to call me." She said with a smile, "Because Mr. Xun has hated me since before."

Not knowing what was said on the other end of the phone, Erika rarely showed a look of surprise on her face.

"Going to Ikebukuro? Now? Or a bar?" Erika laughed, "Hey, Kaoru-kun, you don't want to do anything bad if you ask me to go there at night, right?"

A pair of dimples emerged, and Erika ran her fingers around the ends of her hair, giggling.

"However, it sounds interesting, and I kind of want to go. Wait for me there, I'll be there soon."
