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

The rainy season passed, and the hot summer came one after another, but the lives of Akashi and I remained the same as before meeting Kuroko.

Today, a boy named Shintaro Midorima came to the dormitory to play shogi with Akashi.I know Midorima, he is a first-year student like Akashi, because he is tall and tall, so he is in the basketball club like me now, but unlike me, this guy who hits three-pointers with every shot The shooting guard is the main force of the team and will be able to play as long as there is a game.I'm more impressed with this guy, though, because of his striking green hair—is this a genetic mutation, or was this kid's mom eating too many greens while she was pregnant?

"Senior Dai Chihiro, isn't it?" At the end of the round, Midorima, who had lost N consecutively, adjusted his glasses with his bandaged left hand, and turned to me who was quietly reading the light novel, "May I ask what constellation is senior?" of?"

???

I'm getting older, and I don't quite understand what's popular among young people—is this the usual question you would ask someone you're meeting for the first time?

"I was born on March 3, so I'm an Aries."

"Hmph, Aries..." Midori frowned her green eyebrows—the color looked really awkward, "It seems that I'm a Cancer and I won't get along with you..."

I X!What the hell? !It's impolite to wear such a refined pair of glasses! ! !Even if I've known you for a long time, but to the person I'm talking to for the first time, especially your senior, you kid, why don't you be so straightforward! ! !Does this kind of attitude get along well with you? !And if you ask a zodiac sign, you know we won't get along?Are you a fan//little girl! ! !Why don't you play shogi with Akashi and play tarot now, okay?

"Xiaozhen, don't say something strange again, Senior Dai is also a senior after all!"

Takao Kazunari—probably the person Kuroko mentioned before—another first-year student who came with Midorima, was just walking in with a bag of snacks and drinks: "Here, Xiao Zhen, your red bean rice cake Soup—by the way, do you want to pair it with this new Korean kimchi potato chips? Sweet and spicy things go well together~~”

"No." Lvma coldly took the canned red bean rice cake soup, fortunately he drank this kind of thing on a hot day, "The oil and salt in the snacks are beyond the standard, eating it is harmful to the human body; and you eat this now , can you eat the dinner later?"

"Snacks are packed in another stomach~~~~~~~"

"You're talking about sweets." Midorima pushed away Takao who was rubbing potato chips on his face with disgust, "Anyway, I don't want it."

"Tch~~ Then Akashi, do you want it?"

Come on, Akashi's kind of pampered son-in-law eats delicacies from mountains and seas every day, how can he touch ordinary people like us——

"It's good to taste the common people's food once in a while," Akashi said, taking out a piece of potato chips from the bag, "Then I'll start."

……seriously……

"Senior Dai!" Takao sat next to me energetically, and raised the bag of potato chips in front of me, "You have a piece too!"

When I meet someone as enthusiastic as Takao, I really can't refuse...

"...Then I'll start."

Well, my dried fish still tastes better...

"Hey, I said you, Senior Dai," Takao stuffed a lot of potato chips into his mouth, and continued talking to me inarticulately, "Could it be Akashi's shadow?"

"?!"

Hearing the word I care about, I frowned, put down the light novel in my hand, and looked at this frivolous junior.After seeing my expression, Takao's expression suddenly brightened.

"Sure enough, senior is also a shadow! I am Xiaozhenying, Xiaozheng is my first light! Oh, my first time doing a shadow, I was a shadow of one person in 'Age of Miracles', I'm pretty good! "As he said, he stretched out his hand covered with potato chip crumbs and oil, "Since everyone is a 'shadow', then don't care about the seniors and juniors, let's make friends!"

Tsk, regardless of this infuriating statement, I still have a book at hand!

"So you've also heard about ABOs, 'Night of the Sorcerer' and all that totally obscure stuff?" Pulling my hand back quickly, I put the book away with my free left hand so the paper wouldn't get smudged with oil.

"I've heard, I've heard! Hey, isn't it the same as me, senior, who made a movie for the first time? How is it? That kind of thing really exists beyond ordinary people's cognition, right?" Takao sucked one by one /// Sucking on his own finger, "Of course I didn't believe it at first - you think, Xiaozhen is a bit of a stickler, and the kind of nonsense words spit out of his mouth are not like talking to idiots? But then I found out that he said It’s all true: I used to be in poor health, always prone to back pain and leg cramps. Since I formed a light and shadow team with Xiaozhen, I can climb fifteen floors in one go! But now it’s Xiaozhen’s turn to often have a backache My legs are cramping, hahahahahahahaha~~~~~"

"Takao!!!!!!"

Midorima, who heard our conversation, turned his head and roared, his face as red as Tabasco.

...Looking at the reactions of these two, the degree of physical intimacy between the two of them definitely exceeds that of Akashi and I.As for the degree of intimacy... I'm sorry I'm not a rotten man, I really don't want to imagine...

"What about other aspects?" In order to prevent the topic from continuing to develop in a direction I don't like, I threw this question, "For example, fighting."

"Oh, that~~" After licking his fingers, Gao Wei wiped his hand on his pants, "Xiao Zhen and I are very good at the light and shadow team, and we will definitely rank among the top few in the all-black and blue colleges." Let me think about it, we have fought more than [-] times in the past three months, and there are several very powerful ones, but most of them are won by us..."

Twenty times? !He is obviously a supporting role just like us, why is the role so different? !

By the way, speaking of supporting roles...

"Then have you fought against Heizi and the others?"

"Heizi? Ah, that guy..." Takao showed an elusive expression on his face, "Xiao Zhen and I were just a little bit short of winning at the time, so I really can't be reconciled... Well, It would be nice to win again next time!"

Oh, it seems that Takao doesn't like Kuroko very much...

"Speaking of this, senior," he put his hand, put that hand on my shoulder, "Look at Xiao Zhen and the others fighting vigorously, why don't we also compete?"

I frowned unhappily: "Competition? How?"

"Of course, we will use the method that our shadows are most familiar with~~"

"Are you talking about fighting?" I frowned even more tightly, "But isn't it impossible to fight when there is only shadow?"

"It's simple—hey, Xiaozhen," Takao shouted loudly, "Stop playing, stop playing, come and have a friendly match with Senior Dai, Akashi and the others!"

"Takao, stop messing around! Didn't you see that I'm—"

"Anyway, you'll still lose if you go any further, why don't you fight with four of us! Come fight! Come fight! Come fight! Come fight—"

"Stop!" Midorima rubbed his temples, "Don't learn the repeater... Sure enough, the morning divination is right, I will take on the Scorpio today - but even if it's a friendly match, I will do my best!"

...Why is there such a troublesome unfolding? !I looked at Akashi to see if he had any intention of stopping these two—

"Good proposal." Akashi put the chess pieces on the board, then got up and sat next to me, "It's been a long time since we have had a hearty battle here, if it's Shintaro, maybe we can become a good opponent !"

Ok……

"Then this time we will take the initiative to attack." Takao also bounced to the side of Midorima, "The world view is unfolding!"

The white light stronger than the sun made me close my eyes involuntarily, and when I opened it again, a tablet computer appeared in front of me, accompanied by cheerful and brainwashing///brain-washing music, "Defend the Carrot" popped up on the screen "title.

"A small game?" I stretched out my hand (I actually have an entity in this battle), and clicked "Start" to enter the game.As I expected, this is a simple and easy-to-understand tower defense game: the player, that is, I, needs to plant a carrot wearing glasses (is this a green room?) and place a red wireless router (this It should be Akashi, right?), so that the eagle pulling the cart can concentrate on playing with the mobile phone (the eagle can play with the mobile phone?!), and not destroy the crops.

"It really is a friendly match..." The first level started. I took out the Akashi-type WIFI from the inventory and planted it on the edge of the orange carrot field.

"Even if it's a friendly match, you can't take it lightly, Chihiro." WIFI transmitted the signal into my brain.

"Of course not. If I have any commendable specialty, it is that I play the game very well." Quite proudly, I poked the button to enter the next level with some force, "Oh my god, it's full of WIFI , even if it’s farmland, I’d like to stay here forever…”

However, the so-called one-word prophecy refers to my situation: I started to feel bored when I reached the 20th level, I started to feel dizzy when I reached the 25th level, and my fingers were a little out of control when I reached the 30th level However, there are more and more eagles in the game, and the WIFI signal is getting weaker and weaker.

"Chihiro, the location of the wireless router is more accurate." Akashi sent the signal to my brain again, and this time the call was mixed with a lot of noise.

"It's okay," I glanced at the upper left corner of the screen, "We still have a lot of money, even if we upgrade the configuration of the router to the top, we will..."

"... Money and configuration are not a problem..." The noise was louder this time, and I could hardly hear what he was saying, "I mean... If I install too many routers, my physical strength will also be reduced." will be affected."

What, what kind of "physical strength" does your machine have? !

But this is indeed a problem: the mini-game itself is simple, but the levels are infinite. If Akashi and I, who have limited physical strength, continue to play, we may fall down before we pass all the levels! - This is the insidious aspect of the game "Protect the Carrots"!

...What a Takao, actually used this seemingly harmless method to trick us!

"Akashi, if we're going to win, we've got to at least make it through—huh?"

Why do you have to win?

This is just a friendly match, a game, why should I be so desperate and serious?

"It's not that Takao is insidious, it's because I'm too competitive... It seems that I'm not qualified enough to be a shadow..."

"Chihiro, what did you just say?" Hearing my murmur, Akashi asked, "We are both weak now, if you want to say something—"

"Quit."

"What did you say?"

"I said that I will not continue to put the wireless router in the field now." Taking my hands off the tablet, I folded my arms in front of my chest, "As long as our physical strength is limited, this game is impossible to win. Long The pain is worse than the short pain, and it may be easier to stop now-in any case, I still cherish myself."

"Chihiro." Although the noise was loud, I could still hear Akashi was angry, "I just told you to place it more accurately, instead of telling you to give up the battle. As a shadow, you should write a new one now. playbook to reverse this 'lose' situation."

"Akashi, other aspects are fine, but I am definitely more experienced in games than you." I did not back down, "It is very likely that a game that is easy to understand like this can be reversed with a new script." Small……"

"I'll say it again, even if it's a friendly match, we will definitely win." Because there was no new Akashi-type router installed, the noise was much less than before, and his unquestionable tone could be heard more clearly, "Chihiro, Are you going to disobey my order?"

"!"

"Chihiro, I hope you can-"

"Ah, it's too late..."

Since the WIFI signal was not enough to attract all the vultures to play with their mobile phones, some of the vultures slipped through the network and flew into the carrot field dragging the cart.The carrots wearing glasses screamed "Ya///蠛///Butterfly" in a low voice in the green room. They tried to make a final resistance in this way, but they still couldn't change the fact that they were picked up one by one by the eagle and put them into the board with a smile. The fate of the car.

"……too late……"

"Chihiro." Akashi's voice sent chills down my back, "I need to have a good talk with you after we get out."

...I hope it's about early termination of the contract.

Next, we waited for the end of the game together in silence.After the last carrot was pulled out and taken away, the screen gradually turned black, and then two familiar words slid down from the top of the screen——

happy ending

?

? ?

???

Happy ending? ? ?Shouldn't our situation be gameover? !So the key to winning this game is to let the eagle steal the carrot? What the f**k? !Isn't this script too stupid? !Keeping my jaw closed, I returned to the real world.

"Oh, the captain of the former 'Generation of Miracles' and the seniors who are two levels higher are really amazing~~" Takao sighed while tightly wrapping his arm around Midorima, "So far, it's just you two in my round It was broken! Most of the people collapsed because they ran out of gold coins or physical strength, only you let me and Xiaozhen together so quickly, you are really gentle and considerate people~~~~~~~"

If I had taken into account the unusual relationship between these two people from the very beginning, I would probably be able to end this painful game sooner... Seeing Takao rubbing against Midorima's body, I couldn't help feeling like this emotion.

"I have to say that the compatibility between Sagittarius and Aries is really high..." Pushing Takao aside and standing up, Midorima adjusted his glasses, and said without thinking, "But next time I won't I lost—and if I could, I'd like to fight the old you."

Akashi before?

"Let's go, Takao, let's go to the cafeteria to eat."

"Dinner? Shouldn't I eat Xiaozhen first? ——Oh, Xiaozhen has dessert after dinner~~~~~~~I'm looking forward to it~~~~~~"

"Takao!!!!"

After seeing off the noisy duo, Akashi closed the door of the dormitory and walked straight towards me: "Chihiro."

"What's wrong?" Sitting in the corner, I turned my head, not wanting to look at the arrogant junior who didn't even add "Senior" or "Sang" after my name.

"Even if the crooked fight won the victory, your performance just now was still too disappointing."

"..."

I just judged the situation and couldn't see the possibility of winning, so I just withdrew!Disappointment... Aren't you good at calculating and analyzing, Akashi? Can't you even see this?

"According to your performance, the contract should be terminated with you."

Oh, is that so?It's so nice--

"But I still need your strength."

"?"

I raised my face in surprise, and my eyes met Akashi's eyes of different colors that were too close.In the next moment, cold fingers climbed up my chin, and two soft lips brushed against my mouth like a dragonfly.

"So, until then, you have to continue to be my shadow, Chihiro..." Akashi caressed his lips with his fingertips—this has almost become his habitual action after repairing the magic, "You have to understand, I am absolute, I will never lose..."

"..."

This guy's competitive spirit is really too strong... There shouldn't be many Os in the ABO world who can stand his personality, right?My kind of person is more...

Sigh, forget it, for the sake of my health, I'd better endure it for a few more months...

The author has something to say: it’s the end of the year, and the social animals are all busy, and our social animals are no exception, so...

Everyone guess the next update will be the time of the gods?
