pUnder the unforgiving sun of a scorching summer day, the air in Nijimura's room was thick with humidity. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, glistening like tiny diamonds as they trickled down his skin. His disheveled hair clung to his temples, dampened by the heat that seemed to permeate every corner of the room./p
pHe was at the desk chair while His childhood friend, comfortably sprawled on the bed, had strategically placed bags of snacks and a stack of sport magazines within arm's reach. She seemed unperturbed by the heat, her casual demeanor a stark contrast to Nijimura's sweaty discomfort. He rolled his eyes at her and couldn't help but comment, "Can you be more of a lady ? " Nijimura eyebrows furrowed in irritation ./p
pMeanwhile, Nanami responded with nonchalance, lifting her shoulders in a casual shrug. She brushed off his remark and carried on, undisturbed by it. Seated comfortably, she munched on potato chips while engrossed in a sports magazine./p
p"Your are managing quite good with your team ."she commented in a relaxed manner, pausing to take another bite" I heard that the you won the summer championship."/p
pHe leaned back in his chair, observing her as she casually enjoyed her snack and flipped through the magazine.."Your team's not lagging behind either. I've heard that a new member you've added is making quite an impact,"and gave a small knowing smirk ./p
pThe girl chuckled "Haru must've spilled the beans to you ,huh ? Shouuu-chan," she drawled out the nickname, earning an exasperated reaction from Nijimura./p
pWith a slight shake of his head and a hand rubbing his temple, Nijimura seemed to wonder how he ended up with such a persistent friend. "Alright, that's enough with that nickname."/p
pA brief silence followed, during which Nanami appeared to be contemplating something."I've got an idea," she finally declared, her tone hinting at a touch of excitement.she got off the bed and walked over to where Shuzo was sitting./p
pNijimura raised an eyebrow, intrigued by Nanami's suggestion. "What kind of idea?"/p
pNanami's eyes sparkled"Since summer vacation is near , let's go on a trip this weekend. How about a summer camp with our teamates both basketball clubs ?"/p
pNijimura blinked several times, clearly taken aback by the unexpected proposal. "Huh? A summer camp?"/p
pThe girl leaned forward with an enthusiastic smile. "Come on, it will be fun. We can have training sessions for both the boys' and girls' teams."/p
pNijimura's surprise slowly gave way to curiosity as he considered the idea. The thought of spending time at a summer camp, combining training with outdoor activities, was starting to grow on him."It does sound tempting,"/p
pNanami's eyes lit up. "So, you're in ?"/p
pCaught off guard by her proximity, Nijimura blushed and let out a quiet curse under his breath . Nanami's excitement was contagious, and despite his initial surprise, he found himself giving in to the idea. "Alright, fine," he relented, a reluctant smile tugging at the corners of his lips./p
pNanami grinned in triumph, leaning back in her chair with a satisfied expression. "Great! I'll handle the details then. Don't worry about a thing."/p
p"And how will you get your money?" Nijimura inquired./p
pNanami leaned back in her chair, a confident smirk playing on his lips. "I have my ways."she stuck her tongue out at her childhood friend ./p
pNijimura raised an eyebrow, still curious about Nanami's source of funds. "You have your ways, huh? Well, as long as it's nothing shady."/p
pNanami chuckled, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Don't worry, it's all legit "/p

pThe next day arrived, and as Kise entered the school ground, she was met with an unexpected sight.A massive crowd had gathered, their collective attention drawn to a particular area./p

Amidst the crowd, she quickly caught sight of her srnoais Nanami Haru, both fully engrossed in their task.The table, adorned with an array of eye-catching displays of her pictures for all the Teiko middle school to see ./p
pAs Kise edged closer, she overheard Nanami's enthusiastic voice ringing through the air.

p"What are you doing, Nanamcchi?" Kise blinked in surprise as he approached her two teammates ./p
pNanami and Haru turned around, caught off guard by Kise's sudden appearance./p
pNanami quickly tried to explain, a slightly sheepish smile tugging at her lips. "You see, Ryou-chan, we're just trying to raise some funds for the upcoming summer camp trip. You know, taking advantage of your popularity and all ."/p
p" Nanamcchi, that's so mean! And not to mention, it's illegal!" Kise protested with a pout ./p
p"You know what they say, Ryouko-chan, carpe diem, and we have a friend who is a model, so why not capitalize on it." Nanami grinned mischievously./p
p"Don't worry, Ryou-chan. We'll make sure you gets a share of the profits."Haru added ./p
pKise sighed, her initial shock fading"Fine ! but you owe me a percentage of the profits."/p
pNanami grinned and gave her a playful salute. "Deal!"/p
p. "Tch. Why are they so damn expensive," Aomine grumbled, his brows furrowing as he peered into his empty pockets with a clearly annoyed expression./p
pKise turned to look at Aomine "Not you too Aominecchi !"/p
p"Hahaha, serves you right, sucker! Guess it's my win this time." Haizaki who has popped up behind the navy blue haired , pointed a finger at Aomine in mock victory. While laughing hysterically./p
pAomine clenched his jaw , irritation was palpable as he hissed"You bastard ."the grey haired grin couldn't get any wider than what he had now/p
p/p
pThe two girls couldn't help but grin at Aomine's reaction, finding his annoyance amusing. Meanwhile, Haizaki efficiently handled the financial aspect of the transaction, collecting the money for the pictures and autographs./p
p"You gray haired snake !"/p
p"You insufferable idiot !"/p
pThe two started arguing and Ryouko face palmed. She looked over at Haru , who was covering his face obviously a knowing grin with her hands and mumbling something ./p
p/p
pHaizaki winced as Nejimira smacked him on the back of his head. "To your class, Haizaki," he scolded./p
pWhile Haizaki nursed his head where Nejimira had hit him, he muttered about having a violent captain as he glared at him ./p
p"What are you doing Nanami ?"/p
pNanami blushed, trying to shove the pictures and autographs back into her bag. "We were just... trying to raise some money for the summer camp trip," she mumbled, avoiding her childhood friend gaze/p
pNijimura raised an eyebrow"By selling pictures and autographs? In school grounds? You do realize that's against the rules, right? If you get caught, you'll be in quite a bit of trouble." He frowned ./p
pNanami's face turned even redder, and she nodded sheepishly. "I-I know, I didn't think it through." While finally managed to pack everything away./p
pNijimura let out a long, exasperated sigh as he pinched the bridge of his nose, clearly not amused by the situation. He looked at Nanami and Tomoe, his expression a mixture of frustration and resignation."Seriously! what I am going to do with you two ? "/p
pNanami huffed, crossing her arms defiantly. "Nothing, and your silence can be very helpful, thank you!"/p
pA wry smile tugged at Nijimura's lips. He shook his head in a mixture of exasperation and amusement before reaching out to ruffle Nanami's hair uncharacteristically gentle "Just be careful, alright? "/p
pNanami looked up to Nijimura with pleading puppy eyes, her voice hopeful. "Say we will go to summer camp for training, right? I will ask our coach if it's a good idea."/p
pNijimura nodded"I will do what I can ."/p
