-I dont own KNB-
Episode Two: I am Serious
After the meal, most of the players decided to go back to the cinema to watch the next episodes. Only Riko was left of the coaches because the other five coaches had something else to do.
Just as they stepped out the restaurant door, Nijimura and Kojo Shirogane came towards them. The former still looked very sleepy. Nevertheless, the GOMs asked him if he wanted to watch again. But Nijimura apologetically refused because he was still jet lagged, but when he got used to the time again, he would come to them. Shirogane, on the other hand, gave his consent to come along. An adult had to take care of the horde.
So the players and Shirogane sat in their seats in the cinema room, as they did yesterday. Riko and Momoi took care of the DVD again and after ten minutes the light in the room went out. Only six small lamps in the room gave a little light.
However, when the intro started again, Akashi suddenly stopped the DVD. He turned to everyone.
"Do we want to skip the intro? The sooner we get back into the story. "He got a lot of nodding heads. Only Takao, who thought the song was great, pouted. But one look from Akashi and it was forgotten.
After a brief recap of what happened in the previous episode, the following scene showed a basketball being thrown onto the basket. However, the ball only hit the ring and fell down. Kagami grabbed the ball and performed a lay-up. This time he managed to successfully get the ball into the basket.
"Don't you really do anything other than play Baketball? No other hobbies? "Liu asked doubtfully.
"Uh ... don't think so," Kagami replied. "Basketball is all I do."
"Are you the same?", Miyaji asked the GOMs.
"I usually read books of all genres and am on our school's literary committee," Kuroko replied.
"I model on the side," chirped Kise. "That takes up a lot of my time and I watch old films, especially from America. By the way, it occurs to me that my new photo book will be out soon and—"
"You know, I'm in the Shogi - and in the literature club of our school, nanodayo."
"Don't interrupt me, Midorimacchi!"
"No idea. If sleeping and watching porn counts then yes. Sometimes I buy new basketball shoes out of boredom. "
"I'm looking for new shops that sell sweets. That takes up a lot of time because it is exhausting to go there all the time. I'd rather have the things delivered to me. But Muro-chin doesn't agree with that, so I'd rather leave it, "Murasakibara grumbled.
"So when we talk about hobbies, I would say that I like to play Shogi, that I am also in the Shogi club, play the violin and thus am also on the music committee, I have my own horse on our country estate that I like to ride out with. I also enjoy working on the school committee and I like to exchange ideas with Kuroko and Midorima on topics relevant to education. I would say these are my biggest hobbies. Of course I have others too, "Akashi finished. Of course, he noticed how many people's mouth rose. Most of them couldn't believe how many hobbies Akashi had. And that wasn't all - there are more, they yelled Voices in their heads.
Kagami continued to dribble the ball around, bouncing the ball up and down while standing in front of the basket with a grin. He remembered the conversation with Kuroko.
While flashbacks appeared, he kept playing and tossing the ball into the basket.
Then he started laughing.
Oh, man. I´m so exicited I cant ait still.
"You are like a little child who is expecting Santa Claus and who finally wants the presents," Kuroko said bluntly.
"Hey! I'm not! "He yelled back, offended.
"Don't cover up the facts, Kagami-kun. Everyone here knows that you are still a child inside, "Kuroko replied, just as blankly as before.
"OI Kuroko!"
Kagami jumped into the air for the next shot. A zoom in on his face showed how excited he was.
I don´t care if it´s not an official match. I just wanna play them!
Then the title of the episode was shown again. This time it was "I'm serious".
"I'm serious. Somehow it sounds familiar to me, I just don't know where from? ", Fukuda muttered to himself.
"We'll see," replied Tsuchida.
The scene then cut to Seirin High School. It was apparently in the middle of the school day.
"A game", asked Hyuga Kagami, who was standing in front of him. "You cant play yet."
Kagami's mouth dropped and he looked at Hyuga in shock. "Wha-What?"
Laughter could be heard. Kagami's reaction was also funny and especially the face.
"Why, Captain?", asked Kagami. "How am I not good enough?"
"I can easily answer this question for you", Aomine grinned at Kagami. Kagami only grumbled soft insults into his non-existent beard.
"Youre still a trial member", Hyuga explained to Kagami, who was still confused and angry. "You´re not an official member yet."
Kagami blinked and didn't understand. "Huh?"
The next scene showed a game loading onto the PSP and then showing some players and their data.
"I knew you had potential", said Riko, looking at the players.
"Oh, I have the game too," Takao exclaimed excitedly. "Aida-san, you should definitely bring your console with you, then we can play against each other."
Riko grinned devilishly.
"Come on then, Hawk Eye!"
"God you lucky ones. You can take your console with you. Unfortunately not us, I'm at level 38 ", Hayama grumbled from behind.
"And that's exactly why I'm not in Rakuzan for that shit," Aomine said.
"As if you had a chance, nanodayo," replied Midorima. "The only reason for this is that your grades for this school are abysmally bad."
"Oi Midorima!" Aomine yelled back.
Riko looked dreamily at the screen. "Nothing beats cultivating talent", she sighed, closed her eyes and sipped on her milk drink. Suddenly there were quick steps from somewhere else and two hands were placed on Riko's table.
"Coach!" Kagami yelled at her.
Riko was startled and spat out the milk in a high arc, it landed in the middle of Kagami's face.
And again laughter filled the room.
Kagami wiped the milk off his face with his sleeve.
"Coach, give me an official club membership form."
"Rude puke-kohai," Miyaji pressed out. "No please, nothing. Where's the pineapple when I need it," he muttered on.
Meanwhile, Kagami tried to make himself smaller in his seat.
"What is it with today?", Riko muttered as she wiped her mouth. "You, too?"
"Too?", Kagami asked confused.
A flashback showed Riko happily sipping her drink until a voice suddenly interrupted her.
"I would like an official club membership form."
Riko looked at the voice and saw Kuroko standing next to her seat, who was standing there as if he had just teleported to her. She was so surprised that she spat out her drink.
And more laughter.
"But at least he had manners," said Mibuchi.
The flashback ended and Kagami looked to the side. "That bastard ..." he grumbled.
"I thought you understood each other then? So you still hate him? "Asked Nakamura.
Kagami grumbled. "I have no idea, I am not omniscient", Kagami shouted. "Just leave me alone!"
Riko crossed her arms and looked at him desperately. "Just how impatient are you rascals?"
"What´d you call me?", Kagami asked.
"Well, you both have potential", Riko began to explain. "And we´ve got room on the bench, so we´d be happy to have you." She handed him the application. Kagami immediately took him and grinned. "Now I can play in a game, right?"
Kagami was about to leave the room when Riko stopped him.
"Hold it right there."
Kagami turned to her. She smiled at him with an explanatory face and raised her index finger. "I´ll only accept your form on Monday at 8:40 on the roof."
Kagami blinked in confusion. "Hm?"
"Why on the roof and then exactly at 8:40 a.m.?" Asked Fukui.
"Just keep looking," Hyuga indicated.
The next scene showed Kagami walking down the school hallway and seeing a cut out newspaper article on the pin board. He looked directly at the article. It was a report from last year's Kanto tournament. "Mens Basketball Rookie Game - Kanto Tournament Debut !" was the headline. Next to it was a picture that showed Hyuga taking a shot against the opposing team.
"Why did they take you and not me?", Kiyoshi asked offended.
Hyuga popped out a vein.
"Obviously they were waiting for the best shot and it came when I took my shot."
Izuki's eyes widened and Hyuga noticed what he had said at that moment, but it was too late.
"They take the shot while you take the shot. I have to write that down. "
"Izuki?"
"Yes, Hyuga?"
"Keep your mouth shut!"
Kagami looked at the whole poster. The Seirin team was pictured below. "He wasn´t kidding."
"Yea, they´re strong", a voice suddenly answered. Kagami was startled and suddenly realized that Kuroko was standing next to him. His voice was so loud that the students in the adjoining room heard what he was yelling at Kuroko.
"Why can´t you show up normally?! Stop coming out of nowhere!"
The whole room filled with laughter. And Kagami sank even deeper into his seat. Was it possible to go deeper?
Kuroko put a finger to his lips and pointed his left index finger over him. There was a sign that read "Library" on it. Kagami immediately grabbed Kuroko's hair and shook him back and forth.
"You making fun of me? You´re making fun of me, aren´t you?!", Kagami's left hand was already clenched into a fist. But Kuroko didn't show anything.
"No."
"Really, I'm really surprised that Kuroko is still alive," Takao replied with a laugh.
"And only Bakagami would react like that if you told him to be quiet," said Aomine.
"Kagamin, stop strangling Tetsu-kun," Momoi said to the Seirin Ass. "You're going to hurt him!"
"Just leave me alone," the redhead replied weakly.
Kagami finally let go of Kuroko's head and Kuroko rubbed his head on it. "That hurt."
I dont believe it, thought Kagami. How could anyone call an invisible guy like him the sixth phantom member?
During Kagami's thoughts, the scene showed Kuroko, the one with his back to the camera, training with a basketball in hand and a serious expression on his face.
"Kagami-kun, how often? I am a passport specialist. We'd already chewed it through many times. "
"He might still be in shock," said Akashi. "It took some time in Teiko, too, that we got used to you."
"Our team was also paralized," announced Kasamatsu.
"I think every team was shocked," said Himuro.
Most of the players in the room nodded at this.
Kagami turned back to Kuroko after turning away from him a little earlier.
How did that happen, anyway? The rest of the Generation of Miracles all went to play fpr strong schools.
Kagami started to think while looking at Kuroko.
Meanwhile the camera shot up on Kuroko.
Why didn´t he go with them?
Anyone who didn't know the answer to that slid further forward in their seat, eager to see if they would get it out.
Kagami closed his eyes for a second and sighed, then opened his eyes again ...
"Hey Kuroko ..."
Just to see Kuroko was gone.
Loud laughs echoed through the theater again. The Seirin players shook their heads heartily at the behavior of their star duo.
"Kuroko, you can't do that! Don't just let people down, "said Susa.
"Whenever we think we'll find out something now, Kuroko disappears," Mibuchi also indicated.
The next scene showed the Aida Sports Gym and immediately after that the scene showed Aida Riko's father.
"You´re doing it again this year?", he asked Riko.
Riko sat at her desk and wrote something down. "In order to reach their full potential with all eyes on them, they´ve got to show at least that much courage", Riko indicated.
Her father was standing with his back leaning against the door.
"Are you sure it wasn´t a ploy to get you?"
Riko smiled. "I want them to get me again this year."
"You're so reckless," her father replied. He opened the door and went out, but before he closed it again he gave her something to understand.
"I´m glad you´re passionate, but it´s not good for your skin. You should get some rest."
"Just a little longer",Riko announced. "I still need to finish the second years individual programs."
"Dont push yourself too hard", announced Riko's father and closed the door.
"Nothing beats cultivating talent," Riko said to himself with a knowing smile.
"Your father seems very nice. He's really worried about you, "said Himuro.
"Yeah, it really seems like that," Kobori agreed.
"Yeah, if you think the devil is very nice too," said Hyuga. "He's just nice to the coach. Everyone else ... not ... like that."
The next day the clock in the school yard showed that it was exactly 8:40 a.m. Riko stood on the roof of the school with his arms crossed and let out a laugh as the wind blew through her hair.
"Huh, huh, huuuh, I've been waiting for you."
The five first years stared at her in disbelief.
"Are you stupid?" asked Kagami.
Kuroko also stared at his coach. "Is this a duel?"
"At that point, I wouldn't have been surprised," Aomine said. "She had the devil laugh and the devilish body shape of an evil one, she was completely ready for a boss fight."
"By the way, Aida-san," Akashi said. "Why did you ask them to come up on the roof at exactly 8:40 am?"
Riko laughed darkly and Seirin got goose bumps.
"Will see you in a moment, don't worry, hehehe."
Kagami scratched the back of his head.
"I forgot all about it, but Monday ..." The screen now showed the rows of students who were standing in line for the morning chapel in the courtyard. "The morning assembly is in five minutes!", Kagami yelled at her.
What is she doing ?! Thought everyone in the room. Many turned to the Seirin players, who in turn looked at their coach with dull eyes, who in turn wore a grin of innocence on her lips as if she were not doing anything wrong.
Kagami took the completed club membership from his pocket and held it up. "Hurry up and take it."
"Before that, I have something to tell you", she said.
The first years looked puzzled. "I made a promise when the captain asked me to be his coach last year", Riko began. "I promised to focus solely on pushing the team towards the national championship. If you don´t think you´re ready for that, there are other clubs better suited for you."
Kagami raised an eyebrow. "What? Of course I am-"
"I know you´re strong", she interrupted. "But I need to know you have something even more important. No matter how hard you practice, "someday" and "maybe" aren´t good enough. I need to know you have ambitious goals and the will to accomplish them."
Everyone except Seirin was impressed by Riko's words. She really was the best coach. The captains of the other crews nodded slowly. They all knew what it means to endure such things and always keep these goals in mind. You had to set things like that in order not to lose sight of everything you actually want.
"Wow, Seirin's coach is really fantastic," said Kise, overwhelmed.
"Heyo Shin-chan, let's go to Seirin from next year!"
"Oi, Takao—
"Then I'll go too, I want to be with my Testu-kun", Satsuki shouted.
"Satsuki!"
Riko giggled to himself.
"You see, Hyuga, I just need to be there and get new players," she joked on to her captain.
This one laughed too. "After you find out what's next, you definitely don't want to transfer any more."
The other teams looked confused.
"Era? What is happening on the roof? "Murasakibara asked.
"Yes, I would like to know that too?" Agreed Midorima.
"You will see!" Replied Seirin.
Riko turned to the side and pointed towards the school yard.
"Give me your year, class and name," she announced. "Announce your goals here and now. If you fail to achieve them, you´ll come back up here, strip naked, and confess your feelings for the girl you love."
"EEEEHHHH ?!"
The room went crazy for what Riko said.
"Undress and confess who you love?", Takao shouts. "I've changed my mind - I'm sticking with Shutoku."
"No wonder now why they fought so hard in the final - would do about the same for something," said Nebuya.
"Menno, that's not fair," Momoi pouted. "If we had won, Testu-kun would have confessed his love to me!" Everyone looked at her in disbelief.
Why is she the only one who is sad about it?
"But it really helped us," Kuroko suddenly intervened. "Otherwise we really would have had to do that. And that would have been embarrassing. Well, at least for some."
"Does that mean you love me," Momoi hopped around.
"Momoi-san, I don't really have it like that—"
And Kuroko was crushed while Aomine, Kise and Kagami tried to free the pink-haired manager from Kuroko, the scene continued.
The first graders were shocked, except of course Kuroko, who stayed calm.
"All second years did it last year," announced Riko.
"What? No one told me about this, "replied Furihata.
"I heard about it when they recruited me," said Fukuda. Kawahara looked just as paralleled as the other two.
"But I didn't think that they would actually ..."
The scene pointed to Riko again. "Like I said before, I´m looking for something concrete and reasonably ambitious. You´ll have to do better than "play my first game" or "do my best."
Kagami smiled. "This´ll be easy. This isn´t even a test. "He went to the railing and jumped on it. Then he looked at the students who were standing in the courtyard below and took a breath.
"Class 1-B, number 5, Kagami Taiga!" He exclaimed loudly, drawing attention to himself. "I will defeat the miracle generation and become the best player in Japan!"
The GOMs raised their eyebrows.
"Bastard," Aomine grumbled, shaking his head. "He was after us at the beginning."
"Well, Kagami-kun," said Kuroko. "You really have a soft spot for dangerous situations. If you had slipped, there would have been an accident and you might never have gotten back among the living."
A single tear rolled down Kagami's cheek.
"I will never be free," he said softly to himself. "I will never be exempt from the chicane."
"Your own fault," Murasakibara uttered with a smack.
The students looked up at Kagami in shock. The second graders also stood in the crowd.
Huyga had his mouth open from surprise.
Is she doing that again this year?
Koganei, Izuki, and Mitobe looked up too. They were surprised too, but Mitobe smiled.
Kagami jumped back on the roof and went back to the group. Riko watched him go and then turned to the others.
"Who's next?"
The first trio twitched.
"If you don't hurry, the teachers will get here," Riko instructed them all.
"Excuse me. Could I say I want a girlfriend?" Asked Furihata.
"No," came the immediate answer from smiling Riko.
Laughter could be heard and Furihata ducked her head in shame.
"What else do you have?" Riko asked further. After a brief moment, Kawahara held up his hand.
"I...I´ve got one."
"OK. You can do it! ", Furihata gave him to understand.
Kawahara put his hands on the railing.
"Class 1-A, Kawahara Kouchi, from Chuo-ku District, Tokyo. I was a sickly kid, so I couldn't play sports. Things started to change for me in kindergarten ... "
Oh Kami-sama, a backstory, thought everyone in the room. Except for Shirogane, who was waiting to hear what kind of story it was.
He continued to tell ...
"I'll never forget the all-star game I saw at school in fifth grade."
And further ...
"It was the first time I ever thought basketball was cool."
And further ...
"I joined my schools basketball club in middle school, but I wasn't very good."
And even further ...
"I was always dragging my team down and I was miserable. But-
He closed his eyes and ... Riko kicked him so hard in the back that he was lying upside down with his face on the floor.
"Next" She thundered in a firm voice.
The room howled with a laugh. Aomine never got back into it.
"Shit, she really got you on, did she?"
Kawahara smiled and scratched his head.
"Yeah, this is our coach for you."
Furihata raised her hand again. "Um, I want a girlfriend."
"I told you no!"
"Dude, how terrible do you want a girlfriend?" Asked Miyaji. Furihata looked to the side. "Very ..."
"I can understand," Okamura agrees. "Me too."
"Even so, you'll never get one," Fukui replied like an oracle.
The next scene showed Fukuda. "Class 1-D, Fukuda Hiroshi! I like helping others, so when I heard that an upperclassman asking for help, I immediately offered my assistance. "
"Who knew he would take my joke seriously?" Said Izuki from below.
"He must not have understood your joke," Koganei replied.
"That was a joke?", Fukuda jumped up and looked at Izuki. He laughed nervously and raised his hands in a defensive position.
"My fault, my fault, calmly Brownie."
"Class 1-D, Furihata Kouki! The girl I like said she'd go out with me if I became the best at something! I joined the basketball team to become number one! "
"And did it do anything?" Asked Fukui.
Furihata shook his head bowedly.
"Unfortunately not, because soon after Kise came to our school and she fell in love with him."
Now all eyes were on the blonde.
"Gomen, Gomen, I ... I don't even know her, I ... I really don't -"
"Just shut up," Kasamatsu replied.
Huyga looked up at the roof, smiling. Nostalgia rose in him.
Doing this really helped us focus last year. This could be a good tradition.
Furihata turned to Riko. "If that's not good enough, I don't mind if I cant join the team."
"I guess I'm moved," said Riko with crossed arms and a small smile, then turned back to the others.
"Who's next?"
"Excuse me ..." Riko was startled and turned to the voice. Kuroko was standing next to her. "I´m not good at speaking loudly, so could I use this?", He was holding a megaphone in his hand.
"Where did you get that?"
"From the closet, just for you to know, Coach."
Then Kuroko stood at the railing. The megaphone close to his mouth. Just when he was about to speak ...
Each of the ignorant in the room moved a little forward in his seat, after all, they wanted to hear what the phantom player's goal was.
... "HEY!", A teacher stamped through the door and began to approach the six students. "The basketball club again ?!"
The addressed students looked caught and shocked at the teacher.
"Crap, we were almost finished!" Riko muttered, caught angry.
"Oh, that doesn't exist!"
"Oi, that's not fair!"
The whole room filled with anger that they always cut Kuroko's words and left them unexplained before he could say anything important.
Riko and the five boys were now kneeling in front of the teacher and had to listen to a lecture with instructions.
"I warned you last year. Didn't you say you would never do this again? You should know what is right and wrong at your age! "
"Instead of yelling at you, didn't he have to take you back downstairs?" Asked Mibuchi.
"He did that to us last year, but this year he was apparently extra pissed off," Hyuga replied.
"We could hear him screaming downstairs," added Koganei.
Riko let out a sigh.
"What a sick old bastard."
Then there were a few isolated laughs in the room.
The next scene suddenly went into the evening and showed the front of Maji Burger. A saleswoman bowed to a customer.
"Thank you very much."
The customer, after turning around and walking to a place, opened up as Kagami Taiga. And yet again he had a mountain of burgers on the tray.
Not only the customers on the screen but also the players in the room looked at the scene in disbelief.
Can't it be that he eats so many burgers every day?
Kagami sat down at a table by the window and grumbled.
"I can´t believe he got so mad over a little shouting."
"I didn´t even finish and I got in trouble too," suddenly a voice joined in while Kagami was taking a bite of a burger with relish. Kagami looked forward to the voice only to see Kuroko, who was sitting across from him He almost choked again in shock.
Meanwhile, Kuroko sat in front of him with the well-known vanilla milkshake.
The room filled with laughter again and Kagami sank further down in his seat.
"You again?", Kagami asked, totally shocked. "Maybe I should start going somewhere else."
"We aren´t allowed on the roof anymore," announced Kuroko. "What will we do if we cant join the basketball team?"
Kagami grinned.
"That´s not gonna happen."
"We´ll see."
Then suddenly Kagami remembered something and leaned further forward. "By the way, why didn't you go to some big name school like the other five guys?" Kagami asked the blue-haired man." You were good enough known as the phantom sixth member. Is there some reason you play basketball?"
Kuroko continued to sip his shake.
Again everyone leaned forward. Maybe now they would finally find out something. Meanwhile, the GOMs exchanged questioning glances.
Kuroko stopped drinking and put the mug on the table.
"My middle schools basketball team had one core principle. Winning is everything. Instead of teamwork, we needed to push the individual talents of the Generation of Miracles to win. "Kuroko looked down at the table. In the background, mysterious music played, which made the situation even more important." Nobody could beat us, but we weren't a team. "
The other teams saw how their miracle players stiffened, even with Kuroko you could see that he, like the other five, felt uncomfortable. Neither looked the other in the face. Their heads were almost on the floor.
The other teams could already guess that that wasn't all that had happened to the six in the past. Except for Seirin, who knew the whole story, there was far too much in the dark for some.
Still, they could all feel that their wonder-kohais really felt guilty.
While Kuroko was talking, a picture lights up next to him that showed him with a Teiko uniform and the number 15.
"The five of them approved, but I felt we lacked something important."
"So what?", Kagami asked again. "Are you gonna beat the Generation of Miracles your own way?"
"That's what I was thinking," Kuroko replied.
Kagami was impressed.
"Seriously?"
"Your words and the coach´s words really struck me," Kuroko replied as the music of hope, which was lighter again, played in the background. "Now my biggest reason to play is to trying to make you and our team the best in Japan."
"Those were really impressive goals, Kuroko", Otsubo emphasized his words and cleared up the rather depressive mood in the room.
"And in the end they rewarded you."
Kuroko turned to the Shotuko player, a small smile on his lips.
"I was just trying to help my friends, but thank you."
"WUUUAAAAA KUROKOCCHI! YOU ARE MY FRIEND TOO! "
"I can't breathe, Kise-kun."
Midorima snorted and turned to the other side, his left hand hiding half his face as he adjusted his glasses.
"It's not that I consider you a friend - neither of you, by the way. Our blood groups are simply not compatible. "
Takao went laughing. "Oh, Kami. Don't be such a tsundere, Shin-chan. "
"I'm not a Tsundere, Takao!"
"Oi, Tetsu, don't say such embarrassing shit."
"Dai-chan, you know that it makes you happy when Tetsu-kun says something like that."
"Just shut up, Satsuki!"
"Kuro-chin is my friend too, here you are," said the purple giant with his mouth full of Maiubo sticks and quickly tossed the phantom a vanilla bar over the heads of the others.
"Thank you, Murasakibara-kun."
Akashi just shook his head, laughing slightly, at the picture in front of him. He was just happy to see them all again.
The other teams just stared at the scene in front of them.
Apparently everything is fine now.
Kagami got up from the chair and looked intently at Kuroko.
"We're not gonna try," he put a hand on his hip. "We´re gonna be the best!"
Kuroko stared at him for a brief moment before smiling slightly.
The next day showed some Seirin students looking out the windows and looking at the sports field, discussing something that was down there on the field. Meanwhile, hopeful music played in the background.
Kagami just came into the classroom and wondered what everyone else was doing at the window.
What's all the commotion?
He too went to one of the windows and looked out. He let out a grin and a laugh.
Then the scene showed what made him do it.
At the bottom of the sports field something was written very large in chalk.
'We will be the best in Japan'
Exactly what Kagami said to Kuroko the previous day.
In another classroom you saw Riko, who was sitting in her seat and looking at her classmates, who were already pulling their phones out of their pockets to take pictures.
She smiled.
"That could be interesting enough to work."
Back at Kagami, he looked in the direction of where Kuroko was sitting, who was reading a book. When he raised his arm to rub his nose, however, you could still see white paint on the sleeve of Kuroko's uniform.
The whole room was impressed. Who could have known that the firstfruits in Seirin were so inspiring?
Aomine laughed, as this time he had sat down next to Kuroko, he put an arm around Kuroko.
"You're just crazy, Tetsu."
"But when did you get up please to do that and how long did it take?", Wei Lui asked suddenly.
"It took over half an hour and I started when the gates to the school were opened."
"Didn't anyone notice?"
"Not really. No."
"If that's the case, I'm more surprised that no one has seen the flying chalk", Takao announced his opinion at the end and left everyone in shock again for the time being.
The next scene showed the club room where the team was getting changed for training. Koganei had just finished when he turned and saw a notebook lying on the bench.
"Huh? This is ..."
It was a basketball magazine and none other than Kise was featured on the cover in his Teiko uniform.
"I'm-ssu!", The blond puppy was already calling out.
"Shut up, otherwise I'll stuff it for you. Do you always have to be so self-centered? ", Kasamatsu's voice shouted from further back.
"Correct. You're way too self-indulgent, "said Midorima.
"So mean," Kise howled.
Koganei picked up the magazine. "Didn't this issue come out when Kuroko was at Teiko?"
Hyuga turned to Koganei and looked over his shoulder. He flipped through the pages in awe.
"All players are featured. Kuroko ... ", he raised an eyebrow as he flipped through the pages," doesn´t have an article. "
"Even though he is the sixth man," replied Koganei. "Didn't they come to interview you?" He asked Kuroko.
"They did, but they forgot about me."
Izuki, Huyga and Koganei gave him suffering looks, Koganei even tears. How sad ...
"And we told them not to forget Tetsu, what kind of fools work there?" Asked Aomine.
"Mine-chin we only noticed it when it came out and by then all the plates had been eaten to bend it properly."
"I should have asked again anyway, unfortunately I didn't because I trusted the two reporters," Akashi considered.
"That's so horrible. My poor Kurokocchi ", Kise wailed again.
How sad, thought the other teams too.
"Besides, I'm nothing like the other five," said Kuroko. "They're true prodigies."
"OW!"
Aomine gave Kuroko a head nut.
"When do you finally understand that you are just as good as we are. Each of us has our own style of play, including you. Geez ... "
"Aomine is right," said Akashi. "It's nice that you compliment us, but you shouldn't make yourself worse. You really deserved your place in the first team. And that you belong to us."
Kuroko mumbled a soft apology, but a small smile appeared on his face.
Really, you're more concerned about him than we thought was the general thought of the others in the room.
Shirogane couldn't help but smile a little. Deep down, he knew, they hadn't changed.
Suddenly the door was thrown open and Fukuda rushed in excitedly.
"She is back! The coach is back! "
All eyes were on him now.
"We´re gonna play a practice game"
Now everyone was excited.
"I wonder who we´re playing?" Asked Hyuga.
"Who knows ... She was skipping for some reason though."
Hyuga winced and grimaced. "She was skipping ?!"
"What's that supposed to be?" Asked Himuro.
"Wait," replied Seirin unanimously.
The scene showed Riko's feet and how they were hopping down the school aisle.
Hyuga turned to the rest of the team.
"Be ready, everyone," he said in awe. "If she's skipping ..." Some students looked after Riko with confused looks as she continued to hop down the hall. "Our next opponent´s igonna be real strong."
"Jesus, and you have to deal with that regularly?" Moriyama replied, shocked.
"Man, I take back everything I said badly about your team," Wakamatsu said.
"Who was your opponent?" Asked Okamura.
"Will you see soon enough," replied Kuroko.
The following scene showed two shoes standing in front of the school. Then the scene after that opened the whole person. It was Kise who was standing in front of the school gates.
"This is Seirin?" He said. "New and pristine, just like i expected."
"There. I am here! Do you see that? This is me. My debut, yeah, "said Kise, like a bright little puppy.
"How disturbed do you have to be behaving like that?", Kagami asked into the room.
"Very," came the answer from everyone immediately afterwards.
"You are all so mean." And there were the tears.
The girls stared at him and whispered something to each other as Kise walked past everyone confidently.
"Isn´t he hot!"
"And tall! Wait, is he ... "
"The model!"
Aomine grumbled. "Uhg, that never stops? I almost forgot how it was always with this annoying topic. It was like that everywhere he appeared. We could never go anywhere sensibly with him - unless it was evening. "
"Sei-chan, is that true?" Asked Mibuchi.
"I was almost never there because I was still busy at school, but I learned a lot from stories."
"Once a group of girls followed us from school to Maji Burger - they were hiding behind rubbish bins and bushes," said Kuroko.
"Or how four girls were hiding in our locker room. There are really better things to do in life than chasing after such an idiot, "added Midorima.
"That was really annoying, Kise-chin," smacked Murasakibara. "Nevertheless, I gladly accepted the sweets that I was supposed to give you. Even if you never got them ..."
"How could you, Murasakibaracchi!"
Seirin was training intensively in the sports hall. Furihata was dribbling the ball, and was in a duel with Hyuga. Kuroko then released himself from Tsuchida and Furihata passed the ball to the Phantom. Kuroko passed the ball through Tsuchida's legs to Kagami, who faced Izuki. Izuki grinned mischievously, ready to stop the first year. But Kagami indicated a fake and ran right past Izuki towards the basket.
The fake came as a surprise that Izuki looked as if it were parallized and was even surprising for Hyuga. Izuki started running after Kagami.
"Not yet!"
Kagami used a turn-around and jumped up to the basket with the ball.
"He´s so fast!" Said Furihata.
With one hand, Kagami dipped the ball into the basket.
Ignorant to everyone, Kise saw it all and smiled slightly.
Kagami landed on the ground again, both teams standing around him.
"Nice shot!" Put in Kawahara.
"He´s amazing!" Said Koganei, impressed. "Such a quick turn at full speed ... He's no ordinary human."
"He might even beat the Generation of Miracles," Tsuchida added.
"He might really be able to beat them with that," said Furihata.
"That´s not an easy maneuver!" Said Kawahara.
"Maybe he's better than them already," Fukuda said.
"Wrong," Aomine yelled. "I can do this quacking simple turnaround faster and with twice the power."
"Who do you call quacky here, Ahomine?" Kagami yelled back.
"You Bakagami!"
"I should probably practice my passports on you again, how do you think?", Kuroko suddenly asked.
All that was heard was a swallow.
Kuroko heard the comments of his fellow players and remembered his conversation with Kagami, which he had with him the day after the tryouts and he made him understand that Kagami had not yet reached the generation of miracles.
"That´s what I said, but ..." Kuroko looked at Kagami who was just wiping the sweat from his face with his shirt.
After the game was over, Riko asked all players to come to her. "Gather round, everyone!"
"Yes, ma´am!"
Hyuga's eyes widened when he heard what Riko had just announced.
"A practice game against Kaijou High School?"
"Ahhh. Now it all makes sense why the blond puppy is there, "Miyaji announced.
Riko nodded. "That´s right. They won´t disappoint us. We´ll put plenty of first years on the court. "
"Disappoint us? They´re way better than us, "Koganei told her.
Kaijou grinned proudly at it.
"Are they really that good?" Asked Kawahara.
"They´re strong at the national level," Hyuga replied. "They play in the Inter High every year."
"And this year Kaijou got their hands on one of the Generation of Miracles, Kise Ryouta," announced Riko.
Kise almost said something if he hadn't felt the evil, in the form of Kasamatsu, behind him.
"What?"
"Him?"
"The Generation of Miracles?"
Yes, the first grader trio was shocked.
Kuroko's expression didn't change a bit.
Kagami meanwhile, grinned to himself.
I never thoughtk I'd get to play them so soon. What a blessing. I'm excited.
"Apparently Kise works as a model," said Hyuga.
"Seriously? Amazing" Izuki uttered.
"Good looking and good at basketball? That´s brutal ... ", said Koganei exhausted.
Riko handed it. "Idiot ..."
"Well, everyone would love to be, right?" Kobori asked into the room.
"That's annoying. The first time he showed us his photo book, it was still cool - then it was annoying, "Aomine said.
"Eh? But that was two years ago? ", Kise uttered incomprehensibly.
"And by the way, isn't it unfair to say that Kise-kun is the only handsome guy on the team?" Kuroko then asked.
"What is it, Tetsu? Do you finally see how handsome I am? The only one hotter than me is me. "
"On the other hand, forget what I said. Kise-kun keeps the title. "
"OI!"
Then suddenly many bright voices could be heard in the hall. Riko looked in the direction of these voices only to see how a long line of girls was in the hall, holding sheets of paper and all of them had a red sheen on their cheeks. The whole team looked at the scene.
Riko totally shocked. "Huh? What? What are all this people doing here? "
"Uh, I didn´t mean for this to happen," said Kise suddenly, a little embarrassed.
"That's ..." Hyuga stated thoughtfully.
Riko stared at Kise.
What is the Generation of Miracles Kise Ryouta doing here?
Kise looked at Kuroko, who then managed a small nod. "It´s good to see you again."
"Good to see you," replied Kise.
The whole team looked at Kuroko and then back at Kise. They were still in shock.
"Kise Ryouta ..." Hyuga said, impressed.
Kise scratched the back of her head, embarrassed. "Sorry, really. Um ... Do you think you could you wait five minutes? "
"In the end we waited an hour - but you're welcome," said Hyuga scornfully.
"Gomen, gomen," Kise shivered, noticing the dark aura around Hyuga.
After Kise had given all the autographs, he hopped off the stage.
"There." The camera panned from the floor up to Kise's smiling face.
"W-What are you doing here?" Asked Hyuga, shocked and confused.
Kise began to meet the Seirin team.
"When I heard our next opponent was Seirin, I remembered Kurokocchi went here, so I thought I´d come say hi. We were the best of friends in middle school. "
"Not any more than anyone else," Kuroko replied bluntly.
"You're so mean!" Howled Kise Fake tears.
A good handful of people laughed weakly. Including Kasamatsu who laughed tears.
"Man, Kuroko really should have come to Kaijou, he would have shown Kise the place."
Meanwhile, leave the first year trio in the magazine.
"Kise Ryouta," Furihata began to read. "Though he started basketball his second year of middle school, his exceptional physical an sense got him on the Teiko team as a regular in a heartbeat." The scene swung to a picture that showed Kise in a game. "While he was less experience than the other four, he is a rapidly improving all-rounder."
"Since youre second year? "Asked Huyga. Kise scratched his head. "That article exaggerated quite a bit. I'm glad to be part of the Generation of Miracles, but I'm the worst of the bunch. They bullied me and Kurokocchi for it all the time."
"That never happened to me," Kuroko replied directly.
"What? It was just me? "And Kise was crying fake tears again.
"You bullied people?" Asked Miyaji, Fukui and Kasamatsu at the same time.
"It was all Murasakibara's fault, the rest of us had nothing to do with it," Aomine waved her hands.
"Huh ~ Mine-chin, I'll crush you in a moment," said the lilac.
Suddenly, however, Kise's eyes opened when a ball flew towards him. His reflexes allowed him to catch the ball immediately but also to let it fall again immediately.
"Ow! What was that for?"
Riko and Hyuga were shocked.
On the other side was Kagami.
"Kagami!"
"Kagami-kun!"
"How often have you been suddenly aggressive, Taiga?" Asked Himuro.
"Yeah, Kagamicchi, that hurt," Kise grumbled.
"I got it," Kagami shouted.
"Sorry for interrupting your little reunion. Don´t tell me you came all the way here just to greet us. Why don't you play with me a little, pretty boy? ", Kagami came with the explanation of what he was doing.
For a moment it was quiet in the room. Until Aomine raised his voice.
"THAT", Aomine began with a disgusted look. "That sounded so wrong."
Kagami turned dark red and could compete with his hair.
"That's not how I meant it!" He finally shouted.
"What? I don't know if I'm ready. But I just ... ", thought Kise and finally nodded. "Fine, let´s do it. I have to thank you for that display. " Kise tossed the ball back to a slightly grinning Kagami.
"Unbelievable ...", Riko sighed.
"That could be bad," said Kuroko suddenly, who was standing next to her unnoticed by her.
She got a fright and blinked. "Huh?"
The whole basketball team now saw Kise standing with the ball in front of Kagami, who took a defensive position. The music also started playing again. Kise began to dribble. The camera showed a close-up of both faces showing how calm and focused they were. Kise, however, wore a knowing and yet arrogant grin. And then suddenly Kise started. Kise looked to the right and then to the left, indicating a fake and dribbling past Kagami to the left. Kagami immediately ran after him. Kagami tried to stop him, but with a turnaround Kise was back to the basket and jumped into the air for the dunk.
Riko gasped when she realized what was going on.
The scene after that showed how Kise made exactly the moves and steps that Kagami had previously made on Izuki. Including the turnaround.
Meanwhile, Kuroko could be heard explaining.
"He learns plays as soon as he sees them and makes them his own."
This isn´t simple imitation. Riko thought.
That's ridiculous, I just did that! But ... Kagami thought at the same time as he jumped up to knock the ball out of Kise's hand. You´ve got to be kidding!
"Kagami´s on fire, too," commented Furihata, while the scene showed Kagami still getting to the ball with his fingertips. But Kise was too strong and a moment later he sank the ball into the basket.
Kagami was shocked when he realized he was falling.
He's quicker than me. Stronger, too.
Finally he landed his buttocks on the floor of the hall and looked up at Kise in disbelief. Kise, on the other hand, landed perfectly in front of him as the ball bounced away.
"This is the Generation of Miracles. Kuroko, your friend´s way too good, "said Kawahara. Kuroko frowned.
"I don't know that person," he replied. You could hear a little anger if you listened carefully.
"Huh?"
"To be honest ... I may have underestimated him until just now. It's only been a few months since I left them, but the Generation of Miracles has improved far more quickly than I expected, "Kuroko replied.
Scenes from the previous one against one ran again.
"Kurokocchi, you are sending me such confusing signals! Do you like or hate me? "Kise asked weakly, on the verge of collapse.
"Who knows," came the blunt answer.
"HEY!" And Kise started howling again
Kise sighed and scratched the back of her head again. Then he looked down at Kagami.
"I don´t know about this ..." Kagami looked at him confused.
"After something so disappointing, I can't just leave nwo." Kise began to approach the rest of the team.
"Give us Kurokocchi."
"Oi Kise. You have big nerves, don't you? You think you can just grab Tetsu, you self-loving bastard, "came Aomine's reply.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please don't hit me," Kise shivered in fear when he saw Aomine's grimace.
The Seirin team was surprised. Kise continued to walk confidently towards Kuroko and finally stopped in front of him.
"Come join us," he said, holding out a hand. "Let's play basketball together again."
"Kise, have you already forgotten what the deal was, nanodayo?" Came Midorima's stiff question, which in that sense did not tolerate an answer.
"I know, but I just wanted to play basketball with Kurokocchi again, I couldn't stand it ..."
Everyone at Seirin was completely shocked and couldn't believe it.
"I seriously respect you, Kurokocchi. It´s a waste of youre talent to stay here. What do you say? ", Kise explained.
"What did I tell you, Kise? How should you deal with opponents? But not so disrespectful, you idiot! "Kasamatsu grumbled.
"He talked to them for maybe ten minutes and has already turned Seirin against himself. That is rather worrying for me when I think of other opponents, "Nakamura muttered to himself.
"I'm sorry, senpais," Kise howled.
Kuroko seemed unimpressed.
"I am honored to hear you say that. I must respectfully decline your offer. "
Kuroko bowed while politely declining the offer.
"That doesn´t make any sense! Besides, this isn´t like you. Winning was everything. Why didn´t you go somewhere better? "
Most of them couldn't believe that the puppy Kise on the screen really was, who reacted so disrespectfully and irritably.
"Oh, oh, he seems to be in trouble, I'm so sorry, so sorry," Sakurai whispered to Imayoshi, he had been following everything quietly so far.
"I hope so," he said mischievously and made Sakurai gasp and tremble.
"My thinking has changed since then. More importantly, I made a promise to Kagami-kun. I told him we´d beat you, the Generation of Miracles, "answered Kuroko.
Kise's brows drew together.
"It really isn´t like you to joke around like that," said Kise.
A deep laugh was heard. Kise turned and looked at Kagami, who had laughed and was now wearing a determined grin.
This is the Generation of Miracles. Thye really are amazing! And theres four more guys stronger than him. I can't help but smile.
"What are you doing?" Asked the redhead. "I was gonna say that, Kuroko."
"I'm still have no sense of humor. I'm serious, "Kuroko said bluntly.
"Can any of you guys joke at all?" Asked Takao.
"No."
"Too annoying."
"That's probably the stupidest question you could ask, and you've asked some of them, nanodayo."
"I'll do some."
"Dirty ones don't count, Dai-chan!"
"I tried it once ... hnn"
"Better leave it, Akashi!"
The others looked at each other. Okaaayyyy?
Kise said nothing more but started to grin. Kagami, Kise and Kuroko stood in a triangle on the field and looked at each other. Then everything went black and the ending song began to play.
"Let's see what's coming," said Hayama excitedly because, as expected, there were still twenty minutes left on the episode.
But before that there was a picture that showed Riko and Hyuga. Riko had an arm around Hugya's neck and Seirin's captain had a clipboard in his hand, both thumbs up.
"Huh? How did you get this picture again? It's almost a year old ", Riko looked incomprehensibly at the screen.
"If I come to it, the show really delves into our privacy on these things, doesn't it?" Miyaji asked.
"But we can't change it now, so let's just keep looking," Imayoshi said.
Then suddenly a new scene began. Again a school could be seen. The camera panned to the sports hall. A moment later you could see the inner workings of this. There were still table tennis tables on the field. A boy was sitting on one of these. He had light brown hair and there was a basketball next to him.
The teams were excited to see what this guy had to say. The GOMs, on the other hand, had to wait for twenty minutes.
Then came his voice. "Can I start?" He asked into the camera. His voice was light. Apparently he got that okay as he then nodded.
"Okay, so I really don't know how to start because I've never done anything like that. Still, I hope that something useful comes out of here. "
He cleared his throat briefly.
"My name is Akimoto Keisuke and I'm currently in my first year of high school. Before that, I went to Murakami Middle School in Niigata Prefecture. "
"We only played against this school once, didn't we?" Asked Kise.
"Can't remember," Aomine replied tersely. He had stopped thinking about it.
"Yes we have. In the winter of our sophomore year, "Akashi announced.
"I want to keep it short because the memories are really not nice. For a basketball lover like me, the game against Teiko was horror. But from the beginning. In my sophomore year, our school met the Teiko and her team in the pre-illeminations. We knew what was written about them in the media and what they were called, but we didn't think it was really that bad. Our team was looking forward to the game - when did you have the chance to play Teiko again? The game was especially important for our Senpais. Three of them on the team would leave in the end.
Well, when the time came - we had more parallelization than joy. "
Akimoto picked up the basketball.
"As a guest team, they were on the field earlier than we were, but when we got onto the field, we were speechless. No idea why, but the charisma they had ... frightened us - not just a little. I still remember watching Midorima Shintaro when he was practicing one of his threesomes - over half the field. The first thing I thought was, why is he doing this, can't he just shoot normally? One of my senpais at the time only said to me that if he saw it, he would lose his desire to play. He told me that Midorima didn't have to run forward and he would still score. "
Again he looked at the ball in his hands.
"The others were the same. Over-talented for middle school. Too strong for the opponent. I was perhaps the only one who found it more impressive than horrible, but the others on the team didn't share my opinion. "
Akimoto started tossing the ball from hand to hand.
"My best friend, he played small forward, was sitting next to me on the bench when we had the last tactical briefing. He was trembling. I didn't know what was going on and asked him. He told me he was afraid of them, especially Murasakibara and Akashi but also a little bit of Aomine. I asked him again why and he replied that he could see lightning bolts in her eyes. I dismissed it as an exaggeration because nobody can see that. I didn't notice that he was actually trying to tell me that he was totally afraid to play against her and was about to run off the field. "
The players in the cinema looked shocked at the screen. They have never experienced anything like it.
"How awful must that have been for his friend?" Asked Mibuchi.
"Just wait and see what he says," said Susa.
"The game started normally. Of course, Teiko took the lead. But I wanted to play and my senpais too. But after a while - maybe at the beginning of the second half, we ran out of breath. Kise Ryouta was removed from the seat and someone new was substituted on. I can hardly believe it myself, but that I forgot Kuroko Testuya after he came on is a bit embarrassing today. Even if I didn't think about any of them after the game. And it apparently happened regularly that players forgot Kuroko. "
He looked contrite to the right, apparently where the windows of the hall were.
"At that point we were 35 points behind Teiko. But I wasn't ready to give up just like that - unfortunately I was apparently the only one on my team. "
Now he lowered his head. Nobody could see his eyes anymore.
The players of the six teams felt queasy. When they looked forward to the front row, they saw six players who looked just like the player on the screen.
"I don't know what happened in the game to their thoughts and their motivation, but they fell apart before my eyes. We lost the game 178 to 82. We didn't even make it to 100, that sucks. "
He laughed scornfully. You could see that talking about it took him away.
"But the game wasn't decisive for me. You can lose that way, even if it doesn't happen often. But what happened after that puked me. "
Akimoto looked up and you could see the anger in it.
"The game was over and we stood to say goodbye. I thought I could have a few more words with the captain or - man, anyone - the player, but the only thing I got was a waving hand from Aomine and a blank look and shrug from Akashi. That, if I'm honest, puked me the most. You haven't exchanged a word with us. I only understood why when my senpai told me that we weren't good enough for them and that a winner can't say anything about a loser. Apparently that was the principle in Teiko. In retrospect, I have to believe that Teiko trained their students like robots. Zero feeling only profit maximization. "
He had to laugh about it himself.
"Well, in short. Our senpais have resigned and the basketball club disbanded after the game. Neither of us wanted to compete again against the "Robots of Teiko", as we called them. Even if we had trained - it just wasn't good enough. Neither our self-confidence nor our will. Man, we were middle school - and none from an elite school, we were children, we just couldn't realize it yet - and who might not know the Teiko players either.
Most of us have renounced basketball. My best friend still hates him and has vowed never to invest in a sport again. "
"That's pretty tough," admitted Fukui. Little did he know that most of the teams that played against Teiko would be like that afterwards.
"I think he won't be the only one who will say something like that," said Riko.
One look at the six brightly colored heads and each of the teams knew that they would hear a few more things - but it can only help them and make it clear that their behavior was not good either.
"At the beginning I still believed that basketball could still be continued at our school - but nobody found each other - nobody wanted to play against Teiko, in the end the fear of receiving such a defeat was too great."
Akimoto sighed.
"So I stopped playing basketball and just focused on my degree. But one day - I think it was sometime in summer - I received a message. It has been shared very often on social networks and in forums and has many interested parties. So I clicked on the blog that was displayed to me. At first I didn't understand what it was all about, because there were various reports about Inter High and the schools that participated, but most of all it was about one person. And that person is Kuroko Tetsuya. Unfortunately I don't know who started this blog, but he must have remembered Kuroko very much and that it happened a miracle. I felt it after I played against him like many others - I forgot him ", the boy smiled apologetically.
"But in any case, there were numerous comments among the reports, photos from the competitions and the game tables. Other players wrote their stories of how they had played against the generation of miracles and lost and that they gave up, but through Seirin and especially Kuroko they rekindled hope. I don't know if what was written there is true - about how Kuroko wants to melt the cold eyes of his former teammates - but after this year's Winter Cup, I could see that that was his goal, at least I think, right he wanted to prove that he is the strongest, but what do I know. "
Now he really smiled again.
"Finally the blog went into the Winter Cup and since I signed up on the blog, I saw that there were more followers every day. Not only did former players take notice, there were and are voices from high schools and even colleges. It became a proper site to support Kuroko. And that he really did it is just fantastic. I was at the final and watched - when I saw how everyone was screaming for Seirin one after the other, I noticed that not only we former opponents but also the current teams of the miracle generation plus themselves wanted Seirin to win. And I can imagine that Seirin is something of a miracle for the miracle generation - because Seirin has managed to make basketball lovable again for these five crazy people.
Well, who knows, maybe I can finally talk to the gentlemen - that which I couldn't do back then. "
And with that, the camera turned away from the boy, towards the basketball hoop on the other side. Then the picture stopped and for a moment the black screen indicated that the episode was over.
Silence spread in the room, just like the other day, after this kind of "final documentary". The teams noticed how discomfort spread in the front row. They themselves were still shocked by what was said.
Although they did not understand everything why, why and why - but they knew they would find out everything at some point anyway and then the puzzle would give a whole picture.
"I think we should take a short break, but I would like to continue. Anyone who wants to can join. Let's say - I'll start the next episode in twenty minutes, okay? "Shirogane Kozo began to ask.
Many gave him an instant nod.
"What about you guys?" He asked, then turned to the front row.
Kagami, Takao and Himuro nodded immediately, they too wanted to see further.
Just as Shirogane was about to speak to his former charges, the door opened - and Kiyoshi came in beaming.
As if the light dawned on them all, almost all of them screamed. "Where the hell have you been ?!"
Didn't they notice that the always happy center suddenly wasn't there anymore?
The brown-haired man looked at everyone in surprise and then scratched his head with an embarrassed smile.
"Shortly after the episode started I got a call from someone. Sorry. "
"Fool, say that now," Hyuga grumbled back.
Just like a tsundere like Shin-chan, Takao thought as he watched the exchange between the two.
While Hyuga and Kiyoshi were entertaining the room, only Riko, Momoi and Shirogane noticed that the six miracles slowly stole out of the room. Finally the three of them got up, were surprised that all three had the same thought, but followed behind the six.
Curious what would happen now ...
-.-,-,-,-,-,-,-,-
I'M BACK AGAIN ! YEAH !
I hope you haven't forgotten the story in time and have been waiting eagerly for the next chapter.
I finally had time to work on this story again.
Unfortunately I have only finished this one chapter so far, but I've already started the twelfth.
Since I still have to write a few exams, I unfortunately cannot concentrate on updating regularly here every day, but I will make an effort.
I will say goodbye for a few days and hope you enjoyed this chapter - and I can tell you there is still a lot to come - the whole story and what will happen have been in my book since the beginning.
Have fun, stay healthy and until then, your Alina :))))))))
