Kuroko: I had already won the championship before the miracle happened.

Page 200

Kuroko Tetsuya subconsciously turned around to look.

Then the pupils shrank...

Because the people who spoke behind him were none other than the basketball team's coach Platinum and assistant coach Naoto Sanada.

at this time.

Naoto Sanada focused his gaze on the bottom of the display board. That photo wasn't a clipping from "Basketball Monthly," but a high-definition championship photo printed from the film he provided.

Although he said, "Coach Takeuchi Genta of Kaijo High School is still waiting for you, Coach Platinum."

But in my mind...

But I couldn't help but think of what happened that day.

……

For the group photo after the all-star award ceremony, all the team members gathered in front of the Teiko support stand.

"Hey~?! Qingfeng, stop pushing me, I'm almost squeezed out!"

"what?"

"You don't blame me, do you?"

"Murasara! Why do you have so many snacks on you?!"

..... .... ....

"Damn Midorima, that ridiculous doll is going to appear in the photo too? Such a weird thing appears in the photo of us winning the championship?!"

"Haizaki, please be quiet."

"besides……"

"This 'Godzilla' is my lucky charm today, and it's also part of my victory."

"..."

"First graders, look at the camera!"

Click~

Freeze~

In the photo, Shigure Akito and Nijimura Shuzo are sitting on both sides of the trophy in the same posture as last year, and behind them are their teammates, who have been completely replaced except for the coach.

even……

Except for Reiji Fukaya and Shinji Kurona who are in the same grade on both sides of them.

Most of them are first-year teammates.

Akashi is relatively short and is in the front row closest to Shigure Akito and Nijimura Shuzo. He looks at the camera with a smile on his face, capturing the most serious feeling of the shot.

And behind him was a long row.

Aomine was competing with the huge body of Murasakibara Atsushi, Midorima and Haizaki were staring at each other, and 'Godzilla' was cute and innocently sandwiched between them.

In the face of Aomine's physical confrontation, Murasakibara remained motionless, eating snacks while staring at the camera with wide eyes.

Next to them were two emergency substitutes with innocent looks on their faces, almost being squeezed out of the camera.

……

Think of this.

Naoto Sanada walked behind Director Shirogane and couldn't help but smile.

And behind them.

Kuroko Tetsuya looked seriously at the original title of 'Basketball Monthly' on the group photo, which was made by the display board maker to match the size of the photo.

Teiko Basketball Club, the Generation of Miracles! 10.

Chapter 181: Haizaki Shogo vs. Kuroko Tetsuya, Haizaki, faintly strikes out thunder!

That night.

Armed Forces Stadium.

Even though Kuroko Tetsuya has been promoted to the second team, coach Nagamura Hiroshi is still generous and allows him to continue using the third team gymnasium at night. However, there is a greater possibility.

Maybe it was because Haizaki Shogo from the First Army would come to train from time to time.

Like today.

"Hey!"

"The invisible man of the three armies!"

"Where did he go?!"

Kuroko Tetsuya watched helplessly as Haizaki walked into the gym with his usual arrogant face, and then as usual, he completely failed to notice him.

"..."

Obviously...

I did not actively use misdirection.

Looking up at the bright lights above his head, Kuroko Zheya felt a little speechless in his heart, but obviously, he did not convey it through his expression.

But through basketball.

slap~

"Eight Four Seven" Bang~

Hearing the sudden sound of the ball bouncing in the empty gym, Haizaki Shogo, who was already used to it, did not make a fuss like the others, but looked over in the direction of the sound.

He smiled frivolously and was about to speak when he heard the guy opposite him, who was hiding in the shadow of the light blocked by the basketball rack, speak first.

"Good evening, 'Miraculous Almighty Scorer', Haizaki-san."

"I lost to the 'Miracle Ace' Aomine-kun."

Haizaki Shogo: "...!"

It was visible to the naked eye, because Kuroko Tetsuya usually hid his dark side very deeply, and it was completely exposed in front of him, Haizaki Shogo frowned.

"Congratulations on winning the championship."

"correct……"

"I am now the 'invisible man of the Second Army'."

"Haizaki-san."

Hearing what Kuroko Tetsuya said, Haizaki Shogo was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows. As he touched the earring, the frown between his brows quietly relaxed.

"Humph!"

"Is the invisible man of the Second Army so amazing?"

"It's all over..."

"Only the Second Army."

"whispering sound!"

Hear the words.

"Although I'm still a long way from you guys who were promoted to the First Division right after joining the club." Kuroko Tetsuya looked at the basket and dribbled the ball by himself, "But Haizaki-san, soon, I will continue to move forward and then go to the First Division."

When Kuroko Tetsuya smiled at the reward of his hard work.

Haizaki Shogo couldn't help but be stunned.

Because in his opinion.

Everything that the Shigure Monster taught Kuroko Tetsuya, even the words 'I'll wait for you in the First Army', were nothing but cruel lies.

But the person before him, because of a promise between friends or something else, actually fulfilled it. Whether it was Misdirection...

still is……

The basketball team was upgraded.

This made Haizaki Shogo feel an inexplicable emotion in his heart again. Compared to what he saw that day, the challenge that Fukaya Reiji launched against the Shigure monster, and compared to everything that happened in Zenchū, what he saw before him seemed more real.

But even so, at this moment, there are some things that Haizaki Shogo wants to say.

But only...

"Hey!"

"From the Second Army!"

"Would you like a champion player to coach you?"

slap~

Haizaki Shogo showed off by controlling the ball at a very fast speed, so fast that Kuroko Tetsuya knew at a glance that it was definitely not a speed he could reach.

"..."

"Haizaki, I'm not Aomine-san."

"Humph!"

"Aomine?"

"What happened to him?"

"Let me tell you, that dark-skinned guy right now is absolutely no match for me! And why are you talking so much nonsense? Or...eh? Is Kuroko Tetsuya from the Second Army scared?"

"I'm not afraid."

"Ah!"

"Are you scared? Are you scared?"

"..."

So a moment later, in the only lighted court in the Sanjun Arena, Haizaki Shogo and Kuroko Tetsuya stood facing each other and prepared to play 1v1.

"It's rare to be able to compete against a national champion like me, Kuroko Tetsuya from the second team."

"Next time you write a letter to a friend, remember to show it off..."

"'I, Kuroko Tetsuya, am having a 1v1 with the champion.'"

"Um……"

“Just write it like this~”

Speechless at Haizaki's bad temper, Kuroko Tetsuya grabbed the ball with both hands.

"I'm going to start."
