Episode 19:
On to a New Challenge
-Touou wins by doubling Seirin's score-
Murasakibara: … Kuro-chin, do you want a Maibou?
Kuroko: No, thank you, Murasakibara-kun.
Wen Liu: Hast thou forgotten, Murasakibara-dono?
Murasakibara: Hm?
Okamura: Even if we see them lose badly now, remember that they defeated us during Winter Cup.
Murasakibara: … On second thought, I'm not giving you any maibou, Kuro-chin. Go buy your own.
Kuroko: …
…
Mibuchi: Arara~ Satsuki-chan, your team just broke Tetsu-chan's heart~
Momoi: I'm sorry, Tetsu-kun! Please don't hate me!
-Midorima and Kise talks-
Takao: -disbelief- Shin-chan, you're openly admitting that you're worried for Kuroko-kun?
Kise: Unbelievable, right? I couldn't believe myself the first time I heard it. I thought I heard him wrong.
Midorima: Idiot! I'm not worried! Shuutoku would just look like a laughing stock if we lost to such a weak team!
Takao: Really, when can you be honest, Shin-chan?
Midorima: Shut up, Takao.
-Touou lockers-
Kise: So Aominecchi actually cares about Kurokocchi, right?
Aomine: … Shut-up, Kise.
-Seirin lockers-
Mibuchi: See? Your team even made Taiga-chan and Tetsu-chan fight.
Momoi: I'm sorry, Tetsu-kun!
Aomine: Stop apologizing, Satsuki. They already had their revenge, you know.
Mibuchi: -chuckles- Satsuki-chan is so cute~
Momoi: Eeh?
Kise: Right? Should I tell you about what happened one time during middle school when Akashicchi ordered Momo-
Kasamatsu: Shut-up, Kise!
-Seirin experiences defeat one after another-
Midorima: … You've become silent, Akashi.
Akashi: Hm? Is there anything wrong with it? I'm just trying to sympathize with Kuroko's team.
Midorima: … 'Is he actually the type to get affected with dramas?'
Akashi: … 'As if. Actually, Kuroko's still mad at me.'
-Seirin practice resumes-
Rakuzan Team: … 'You're lucky to be let off with only 3x training!'
…
Momoi: That's right! I shouldn't be apologizing! Dai-chan, we must beat Tetsu-kun this year! We must make Tetsu-kun confess his love for me!
Aomine: -sweat drop-
-Teppei appears in the gym-
Murasakibara: Hmph!
Nebuya: Keh.
Kiyoshi: Ahaha! What did I do?
Everyone: 'They are just in disbelief that they lost to such a weird player...'
Murasakibara: … Unlike Kuro-chin, you didn't offer me some candy.
Everyone: 'That's his problem?!'
-Kagami enters practice-
Wakamatsu: Kaah! At least Kagami knows how to apologize. Our idiot ace doesn't!
-Kiyoshi enters practice-
Akashi: …
Midorima: If he's been in the hospital since the summer ago, won't he be repeating a grade then?
Kiyoshi: Ahaha!
Mibuchi: Hmm... maybe I should do that. Then next year... -grins-
Akashi: But before that, you'll be in trouble. The teachers won't allow you to join club activities if your grades significantly drop.
Mibuchi: Awww~
…
Midorima: … I can't believe it. We got beaten, and drew a tie, with a team created by an idiot.
Kiyoshi: Ahaha! But cards are really fun!
Midorima: …
-Ending Song special frame-
Midorima: … Takao, why didn't you tell me you had an outing with them? Not that I'm interested or anything...
Takao: Eh? But you're also there, see? You're even wearing sunglasses.
Midorima: Eh! That's me?
Kise: -snickers- You're still saying that?
OMAKE
Akashi: Kuroko, I'll ask our butler Tanaka-san to make you some vanilla milkshake as a peace offering.
Kuroko: What are you saying, Akashi-kun? I've never been really mad at you. But it would be a waste not to try the milkshake, so I'll accept your peace offering.
Akashi: …
