[Kuroko's Basketball] Magical Boy Dai Chihiro [Red Dai]

"No."

"But Senior Dai—"

"Forget about the first two—that's mental torture at most, and now this kind of thing might kill me?!"

"Senior Dai, you really know how to joke, it's just a light meal at noon~~"

"'Eat a light meal'?!" Hearing her words, my blood rushed to my brain instantly, and I stretched out my finger to the huge slogan, and my voice seemed to tremble a little, "In this'airport, the big eater game' on?"

"That's right, go to the Big Eater Competition for lunch, and record a program by the way."

Producer Momoi spoke in a very relaxed tone, as if she was just making a plan for a weekend party.

"Then the setting of the show is that if you want to move on, you have to win, right? But I'm not expected to be a big eater!"

"How do you know if you don't try?" Tao P smiled, and then called two strong staff members to support me, "Take a step back, isn't the most important thing in our ABO group is the spirit of contract?"

"I don't remember any contract with you."

"But we signed a contract with the benefactor—of course it's more commercial than the contract between you guys~~"

Being pressed on the seat by the competition table, I looked around, plus I only had three people participating in this competition, and the other two were still acquaintances without accident—Vulcan and Murasakihara, veritable big eaters.

"Well, why is it you—I mean senior?" Vulcan sized me up from head to toe, "I thought people at least at the level of Nebuya could come..."

"Yeah, if I remember correctly, senior doesn't seem to have a big appetite, why did you come..." Ziyuan lay lazily on the table, "Forget it, one less opponent means more enjoyment of food ..."

...It seems that my defeat is already doomed.But on the bright side, if I lose this round, maybe I won’t have to continue recording this broken show. When I think of this pleasant thing, my mood calms down completely, and I even start to look forward to it. Let's talk about the food to be enjoyed next.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" The host is actually an acquaintance, "Welcome to the airport big eater competition! I am today's host Tatsuya Himuro. As we all know, compared with the delicious and affordable tram bento, the food at the airport is simply expensive and unpalatable, so Today we are holding a special big eater competition in a place like the airport - after all, when you see others gobble up food, everyone's appetite should also get better, right?"

Hey, that makes sense.Is this the real reason why eating and broadcasting has become popular in the past two years?

"At the same time, in order to enhance the appetizing effect, the competition specially prepared dark dishes for the contestants!" Himuro continued to announce with high emotion, "'Even X can eat so deliciously, then the food at this airport doesn't look so bad. It’s like this——maybe this kind of comparison will make everyone cherish the restaurants in the airport even more?”

What logic! ! !Why eat dark food! ! !Is this really a big stomach king competition and not some strange tricky show! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Under the horrified gaze of everyone, three huge trays were brought up, and the lids were lifted, and they were filled with my favorite dried fish. However, unlike the small dried fish I usually eat, half of the dried fish in front of me was The one was drizzled with yellow sauce and the other half was drizzled with black sauce.

"Small fish with peanut butter and small fish with chocolate sauce, start tasting! Bonappétit~~"

Ciao, seeing such a wonderful combination, whose appétit can bon!After the cry in the ice room started, none of the three of us dared to move. After a long silence, Murasakihara finally raised his hand——

"Why don't you try the chocolate one? Chocolate can't taste bad, can it?"

He tremblingly picked up a small dried fish wrapped in chocolate and put it into his mouth. As soon as he chewed it, his face immediately became as purple as his hair. After spitting it out with a wow, he began to cough violently : "Cough cough, this food is so unpalatable, cough cough, it's not for human to eat!! Cough cough cough cough, hey Xiaoshi boy, cough, can I abstain from this competition?"

"Oh, Dun, don't be too hard on yourself~~" Ice Room smiled dotingly, "As long as you want, you can of course abstain! Come on, drink this glass of water and rinse your mouth."

"Woo, is this really that bad?" Seeing Ziyuan's appearance, Vulcan stared at the plate in front of him with a blue face, "Why don't you try the small dried fish with peanut butter here..." He asked He picked up one and put it in his mouth, his expression brightened instantly, "Hey, Dai...Senior, this one here seems to be a bit tastier than expected, and it's an acceptable taste!"

After listening to his words, I finally tasted the pile of food in front of me with confidence.Indeed, the taste of the mellow peanut butter paired with dried fish is not contrary to imagination, and the slight sweetness of peanut butter even makes the taste of dried fish more layered in the mouth.

"...It's just a little dry...Hey, Vulcan, can you help me get water—? Vulcan???"

Vulcan, who was still full of energy just now, fell on the table motionless, his face was directly buried in the plate full of small dried fish, it seemed that the blow was fatal.

"Hey, is there any problem with this plate of dried fish..."

"ZZZZZZZ..."

"Fortunately, I just fell asleep—what a size!" I threw the small dried fish in my hand back on the plate, and turned my head to look at Momoi hidden behind the camera equipment, "I said, is it necessary for you to do this? ?”

"Don't worry, Senior Dai, the things on your plate have not been tampered with, so you can eat them with confidence!"

"That's not what I meant! I meant—"

"Oh, it's already this time~~" Tao P glanced at his watch, "the plane is about to take off in 40 minutes, senior Dai, please hurry up~~~"

"..."

Although I feel very pitiful, but now I am still honestly burying my head and munching on the dried fish with peanut butter - after all, this may be the only thing I can eat today.

Seeing that there were no suspense and highlights in the game, the audience dispersed one after another. Vulcan and Murasakihara, who had regained consciousness, had also returned to the backstage to rest. I chewed hard on the dried fish to pass the time.

"If I remember correctly," chewing the dried fish made my cheeks sour, and I struggled to speak, "You and those two people are still very close, right? Seeing them being tossed by the program team like this must make you feel uncomfortable Bar?"

"How could it be?" Himuro covered his mouth with his hands, and smiled subtly, "It's better to say that it is precisely because of this kind of tricky program planning that I agreed to Dawo and Dun to participate!"

"Eh?"

"Senior also knows that it's a good thing for a boy of this age to be able to eat, but I and Dunshi are too good to eat..." Himuro shook his head and sighed, "I definitely don't despise them The high cost of food is not because they are afraid that they will not be able to eat enough to accumulate fat, but because they are worried that their bodies will not be able to bear it in the long run."

"So you plan to use this program to help them diet?"

"As expected of a senior, you are very thorough in seeing things!" Himuro nodded with a smile, "At the beginning, the program team only prepared ordinary dark dishes. I replaced it with 95% pure cocoa, and added sleeping pills to my peanut butter... Oh, I hope this competition can make them form a conditioned reflex like Pavlov's experiment..."

"Oh, so it's like this..." Fortunately, Emma is not familiar with this cheating guy, otherwise I don't know how he would be cheated by him. "It can be seen that you really 'love' them..."

"Haha, I'm so honored." Ice Room waved his hand, as if he really thought I was praising him, "Senior Dai, who is loved, is also very enviable."

"Loved... me???"

"Senior Dai, the broadcast announcement is about to board the plane!"

Hearing the call from the staff, I said goodbye to the ice room in a hurry, left the pile of dark dishes rightly, and continued towards the destination.After more than two hours of turbulence in the air, I finally landed smoothly at Kagoshima Airport with all kinds of upset stomachs.According to Momoi's arrangement, next I will take a high-speed boat to Tanegashima.

"Hey, are you the brave man who is going to Tanegashima to rescue the princess?" Walking on the boarding bridge, a dark figure emerged from the sea, which really startled me, "Don't go through this area." Hai, you can't reach that island. Come down! Let's compete to see who can swim first—by the way, the only one who can beat me is myself."

"So what, Da, the plan has changed." Momoi rushed over from behind, pushing me forward with a confused face, "In order to hurry up, your session has been cancelled."

"What nonsense are you talking about May?! Why do you say it's cancelled?!!! I've been soaking in the water for so long, you just say 'in a hurry' and—"

The whistle for sailing was sounded, the hatch of the ferry closed, and Aomine and his unfinished curses were left behind by us.

"No way, we have to arrive at Tanegashima at 5 o'clock at the latest, and the flight will take at least an hour. We don't have time to waste any more time in Kagoshima. Besides," looking at the green peak that gradually turned into a small spot on the water , Momoi crossed his arms and said with a straight face, "'Put a few basketballs in your clothes and see who can swim faster' This kind of low-level idea can only be thought of by Ada, it is really going to be recorded and broadcast, Wouldn't it lower the level of our entire program?"

"Even so, I think you guys have overdone it." I couldn't help interjecting, "At least you should tell him in advance."

Momoi laughed: "Well, Ada and I are childhood sweethearts, old acquaintances, he won't really annoy me."

"Even so—"

"Besides, for the effect of the program, he should be understandable, right?"

"...It's the program effect again..."

"Well, when it comes to the effect of the show, in fact, we should fly directly to Tanegashima in such a tight time like today. But the person who spent a lot of money to name you on the show said that there must be Senior Dai on the show. footage, that's why we arranged to take the boat..."

"Ha, ha, this guy Akashi..."

Speaking of people who have not seen him today, according to his personality, if we estimate the remaining time, he will probably be waiting for me at the last link of Tanegashima, right?

however--

"If you want to see her, you're afraid you're going to heaven?"

"How do you talk?" If it weren't for being surrounded by a bunch of cameras, I would have rushed up and slapped him twice, "Even if you are not a senior or a junior, you can't speak so harshly to a passerby, right?"

The unexpected "big///BOSS"—the annoying Kuroko Tetsuya blinked his eyes expressionlessly. Behind him, beside the launch tower, the white rocket was brilliantly reflected by the setting sun. There's not much time left for the link: "I didn't insult Senior, what I want to say is that if Senior Dai wants to see the princess, he must go up the rocket; and if Senior wants to get on the rocket, he has to pass through me."

"Just pass your level." I waved my hand impatiently, "Tell me what you want to do."

"First of all, Senior Dai, please hold this." Heizi handed me a small box with a button on it, "Next we will enter the quiz competition. The types of questions include choice, judgment, noun explanation, short answer, discussion, etc. , Senior Dai, please answer my question after pressing the answering device in his hand."

"..."

Nima, I'm the only contestant who wants a P answering machine!

"The rules of this round are very simple. If Senior Dai gets the answer right, you can take a step forward towards the launch pad. If you get the wrong answer, you have to take a step back. If Senior Dai can move forward all the way to the rocket before sunset, then you won."

I squinted my eyes and looked at the white rocket that was about to enter the universe: "I said you don't want to cheat me like this, right? It's at least two kilometers from our place to the launch pad, right? I'm still asking questions and answering them step by step slowly." Let’s go, I’m afraid your standard of ‘sunset’ is not based on the day of the summer solstice?!”

"Then please listen to the first question—"

"Hey!!!"

"We all know that cherry blossoms fall at a speed of five centimeters per second, so what is the speed of five kilometers per hour?"

"?!"

This question seems to come from the famous "[-] Centimeters Per Second".

Opposite me, behind Heizi, the staff of the program group held up a sign, which said something that could be called the correct answer.

"Are you underestimating me? I don't need that kind of thing..."

"Senior Dai, please answer after pressing the answering device."

"Tsk, it's really troublesome, listen carefully—" I closed my eyes and recited the answer confidently, "The answer is the speed of the vehicle transporting the rocket to the launch site in Nanzishi City."

"Correct, please take a step forward. Then the second question: What day is Guishu going to Tochigi Prefecture to find Akari?"

"Second Five" again? !

Ding Dong!

"March 3. Friday."

But it doesn't bother me.

"Correct, please take a step forward. Next question: What time did Guishu actually arrive at Yanzhou Station?"

Ding Dong!

"Hmm...it should be 23:15, right?"

"Basically correct, please take a step forward. The next question..."

……

…………

………………

"Correct, please take a step forward. Next question: What is Guishu's favorite drink?"

Ding Dong!

"If you just watch movies, it's Tanegashima Coffee."

"Correct, please take a step forward. Next question——"

"Stop, stop, stop," I don't know how many questions I answered, but I know that in the past ten minutes, I basically didn't make much progress. In that place that seemed out of reach, the color of the rocket It has already dimmed, and the light of the setting sun is gradually fading away, "Did you deliberately not want me to pass the level, kid? It took me a long time to walk so few steps, can I really reach the launch tower before the sun goes down? !"

"You can go a thousand miles without taking a few steps. According to the pace of Senior Dai, I have prepared enough questions—this book in my hand is the question bank plus reference answers." Heizi raised the thick stack in his hand that could be used as a brick. "As for whether Senior Dai can finish the answers before sunset, that is up to Senior Dai himself."

"...you have time to count my strides but don't consider the time it takes me to answer each question. Aren't you trying to make things difficult for me?! Leaving aside this matter, this one-hour-long "[-] Centimeters Per Second", can you really find so many questions?! Are you a second expert?"

"I can't talk about second experts, I'm just an ordinary "Second Five" fan." Heizi lowered his head slightly, "Actually, in order not to cause too much trouble for seniors, I specially chose animation and chose this It’s a work that Senior Dai and I should be familiar with.”

"Tsk, don't confuse nerds with those of you who occasionally watch one or two films of Makoto Shinkai and Hayao Miyazaki..."

"But I see that you, the so-called 'otaku', Senior Dai, know a lot about this work."

Sensing Heizi's sharp eyes, I turned my face away in embarrassment: "Well, Xin Haicheng, his painting style and soundtrack are still remarkable..."

"That's true." The corners of Heizi's mouth rose slightly, "But what moved me the most in this movie was the embarrassing emotion conveyed in it."

"Come on, you are a fifteen or sixteen-year-old brat, can you really understand the feelings conveyed there?" My lips raised a mocking arc unconsciously, "What you like is just the kind of self-righteous , moaning///groaning petty bourgeois sentiments."

"It's true that there are many parts in this movie that I don't fully understand, but at least the part about the distance makes me feel a little bit emotional." With a lonely smile, Heizi lowered his head slightly, "After all, his appearance in α is also considered to be Those who are outstanding will sooner or later take a different path from us ordinary people, not to mention that he is used to being under the spotlight. Sometimes I even feel that when I look at him, I don’t know where he is looking—— —Like the two people on Tanegashima in the movie, looking up at the same sky, but looking at different places..."

"Well... If you're talking about the person I thought of, I don't think he's the one you described—"

"As for the time part, although I don't have the experience to understand what Senior Dai said, the ending of this movie is enough to make me fear the future." Heizi turned around and looked at the launch pad that was still out of reach. , let out a soft sigh, "As time goes by, the distance between body and mind will become farther and farther. Will we eventually become the same as in the movie, from seeing each other to forgetting each other?"

"...Brother, you are actually so negative in terms of feelings, this is the first time I found out today..."

"However, the ending of the movie also has the flavor of Japanese wabi-sabi-it is so cruel, but it makes people feel very beautiful..."

"It's not beautiful at all!!!!!!"

The grass on the side of the road rustled for a while, and then a golden figure rushed out.

"Kose?!"

Don't you still act as a love shake with me in the morning? ? ?Why is it appearing in Tanegashima again now? ? ?

"No, I don't want to!!! How could such an ending be called 'beautiful'!" Kise leaped into the air, fell towards the 45° left of Heizi, and then used the acceleration to hug him tighter than usual, "Since we are in love, we naturally want to last forever. I can't accept any other ending!!!"

"That... Kase-kun... is like this... I—"

"Worried about people looking up at the same sky but looking at different places, it's obviously me, okay!!! The reason why I made my debut is to let Xiao Heizi look at me!!!!" Accompanied by a hoarse roar, Huang Tears welled up in the corners of Sensei's eyes.

"Kase-kun..."

Ah, so this is connected to what he said in the morning, "remembering my dream", so is this another planned scene... Looking sideways at Tao P, her expression confirmed my guess.

"But now, my dream has become a little bigger." Kise put his hands on Heizi's shoulders and looked at him affectionately, "I not only want Xiao Heizi to be able to look at me, but I also want the two of us As a member of 'regalgeneration', we can shine together on the stage! ——So, thank you, Dai-senpai, for letting me give up the stupid idea of ​​solo."

"Huh?! Ah... no thanks...?"

It's fine for the two of you to show your affection by yourself, why do you want to involve me? ? ? ?

"Then, Senior Dai," Huang Lai pulled out a small motorcycle from the grass [he probably drove here], put Heizi on the back seat, and then stepped on it himself, "Little Heizi, I will Take it away first~~bye~~~~~"

"Oh, walk slowly and don't see it off-eh, no, wait!!!"

If Heizi is taken away, what should my link do? ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !How the hell did I not go to the rocket tower, okay? ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !Nima, the sun is about to set, and several stars have already come out. Even if I sprint at a speed of [-] meters, it is too late! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

but.

if so.

Didn't he just give up this mindless task and go back home?

"Senior Dai," as soon as I turned around, I met Tao P's bright smile, "Where are you going?"

"Sister, do you know the current situation..." The current situation is very favorable to me, which makes me speak with confidence, "The sun is going to set soon, the mission has failed, and the program can't be recorded."

"Who said that?" Momoi gestured backwards, "Plan B!"

"PlanB is—Hello!!!"

The two strong staff members who were at the airport at noon reappeared. As soon as they came up, they blindfolded me and roughly stuffed me into the car.After seven turns and eight turns, I was pushed and shoved into a seemingly confined space. They tied me to an uncomfortable seat and finally took off the blindfold on my eyes. cloth belt.

"It won't really be-!!!"

Before I could even open my eyes, my head was pulled into a heavy helmet.The staff didn't say a word during the whole process. After all the preparations, they left quickly, leaving me alone in this small space waiting.Looking around, the wall almost touching the tip of my nose is covered with all kinds of sophisticated-looking dashboards. In the dead silence, a kind of uneasiness gradually builds up in my chest.

"...I...could it really be—"

"Hello, Mr. Astronaut Dai Qianxun, welcome to the 'Red-haired Baitianji' rocket," a cold female voice announced, "This rocket is about to depart from the Tanegashima Launch Center, and the last 2 minutes will be held next." Countdown: 120, 119, 118..."

Ci'ao, it's real! ! ! ! ! ! ! !I'm just a passer-by who was forced to record a show! ! ! !Never had any formal training! ! ! ! !After lift-off, I fainted and my blood vessels burst! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !Why do you want me to take such a risk that may kill someone! ! ! ! ! !

"80, 79, 78..."

Dear Mom and Dad, thank you for your kindness of nurturing over the past ten years. The child’s departure is probably a blessing in disguise. If he can come back smoothly, he must listen to your words carefully, make ///friends carefully, and be more than ordinary people If you can't come back... Please find a guy named Akashi Seijuro and ask him to pay for personal injury!It doesn't matter if it exceeds the legal limit, just for the bunch of crap he's done to me in the past few months, it's worth blackmailing him severely! ! ! ! !In this matter, you must not be polite! ! ! ! ! !

"20, 19, 18..."

It seems that the program team didn't buy me personal insurance, it's really irresponsible!But it's okay, this part of the money will be stolen from Akashi afterwards...

"10, 9, 8..."

Having said that, Akashi, the culprit, where is he now?What is he planning to toss me so frantically this time? !

"3, 2, 1—launch!"

Wearing headphones, I can't hear the roar outside, what echoes in my ears is more the sound of my heart beating violently.Even though I was pinned to the seat, I could feel the pull that would tear you apart.In the small window, the scenery on the ground is getting smaller and smaller. In the earphone, the information about the separation of the rockets at different levels was broadcast coldly by the female voice just now, but I don't have the time to care about these issues.

because!

Really!

What a joke!

It's hard! ! !

Just clenching your teeth and not screaming out is already pretty good, okay? ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

At this moment of collapse, I vaguely felt a reassuring warmth on the back of my right hand.A voice, not through the earphones, but more like directly to the ear, said to me softly——

"'Going forward blindly alone in the real darkness, not even touching a single hydrogen atom, just firmly believing that there are mysteries of the world waiting to be explored in that abyss' - that's what the astronauts are going to do It's an unimaginably lonely journey. But this time it doesn't matter anymore, after all, now, I'm with you."

I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but the physical pain didn't last long, and the vibration gradually subsided, which seemed to mean that the spaceship I was on had reached the predetermined orbit.Relax and adjust my breathing, my earphones are beeping and beeping loudly——

"Congratulations, Senior Dai!" Tao P happily announced to me through the headset, "The princess was rescued successfully, the recording of the show is over, and all your tasks for today have been successfully completed!"

"It's you who completed the task, okay? I'm still floating somewhere above your heads!" I/// laughed dryly, "Also, Akashi, what kind of princess is that? Okay? It’s easy to get me here, and I’ll think about it if you put up a standing painting and post a picture!"

Momoi giggled through the earphones: "If senior wants to see 'her' so much, just take off the helmet."

"Take off the helmet...?"

Could it be that they plan to use the method of insufficient oxygen supply to make me hallucinate... Well, anyway, this helmet is very uncomfortable to wear, and there is no big loss if I take it off.Trying hard to bend the bound arms and neck, I took off the helmet with difficulty, but the scene in front of me couldn't help but stunned me——

"Happy 18th birthday, Chihiro!" Standing in front of me was Akashi in a maid outfit, he lifted up his skirt and saluted, then clapped his hands with a smile.

"Wait," but now I have more important things to complain about, "I'm on Earth now?!"

"To be precise," Akashi said while tidying up the lace of his apron, "this is my family's villa on Tanegashima. When my father and I are in a good mood, we will come here to enjoy the rocket launch."

"...so I was just..."

"How about this home 4D theater device developed by our Akashi Group?" Akashi's tone rose slightly, "The perfect combination of VR helmet and dynamic stunt seat is very good, right?"

"...Yeah, I was so scared that I almost hiccupped..."

"Okay, I'll let the technical department make adjustments."

"...Don't tell me this thing is still under development..."

"That's right, but we have entered the final stage of debugging and testing, and it will be released to the public soon-of course, the price will be a bit expensive." Akashi said with a smile, "But if it is Chihiro, I will give it to the public for free." Send a set and install it for you."

"No, I might as well pile up a few stacks of manga or light novels if I have this space." I refused him without hesitation, "So you tricked me to Tanegashima on my birthday just to give you A company's new product as a guinea pig?!"

"Why would Senior Dai have such an idea?" Akashi was slightly stunned, "I just want Chihiro to have an unforgettable birthday—otherwise, why would I specially invite Momoi and the others to videotape?"

"You!" Don't get angry, don't get angry, I'm a civilized person, I can't be angry, I can't be angry, "Yes, the 18th birthday really needs to be celebrated, but this is not what I want!"

"Then how does Chihiro want to celebrate her 18th birthday?"

"Well..." I leaned back in the chair and closed my eyes, "I have to sleep until I wake up naturally, then go to the convenience store to buy some potato chips and coke, and by the way, buy a little porn book and come back for brunch Afterwards, I strolled leisurely to Tiger X, and justifiably used the pocket money I had saved for a long time to buy back all kinds of notebooks and 18X games that I have been thinking about, and spent the rest of the time comfortably in my room admiring these trophies What—anyway, it’s definitely not like running around half of Japan while completing the task like this!” I opened my eyes again, and gave Akashi a somewhat annoyed look, “Then again, I don’t need to spend my birthday Excuse me, Mr. Seijuro of the great chaebol Akashi's family, worry about it?!"

"It's true, I'm sorry..." Akashi smiled, his expression darkened, "I thought we were members of the light and shadow team with a special relationship, so..."

Ahh, I accidentally screwed up again...

I wanted to hold my forehead with my hands, but found that I was still trapped in the chair, so I could only sigh and turn my head to the side: "Well...you are quite cute in this maid outfit..."

"Really?" Akashi looked at the hem of his skirt with relief, "Is it like everyone said, after a hard day's work, seeing the maids greet you will feel extra healing?"

"Well, generally speaking, it should be like this, but when I think that although you are wearing a maid outfit, but the person who was Xed in the end is myself, I can only feel depressed..."

"Phew, Chihiro looks so indifferent, but she pretends to be a erotic thing in her mind—or Mensao's senior and cute."

"!!! What erotic? I'm not, I don't!"

"Hey, why don't we have a shot here now?" Saying that, Akashi began to untie the restraints on my legs, "Don't worry, the filming is over."

"...This is not the crux of the problem, okay..."

Alas, forget it, even if it's my important birthday, let him mess around today.

Anyway, there are not many days left in my contract with him.
