[Black Basket] Star Trail

Kanzawa Norie looked at the building in front of him.

The swimming pool, which is dominated by lead gray, is in the shape of a slightly flattened spiral. If you have a bird's-eye view from above, you can see the famous "cross-moon" shape.The middle school swimming qualifiers started today. Kanzawa Jizheng went out early in the morning, and two other people came later. Kanzawa Jiyu parked the car and put the wallet and car keys into the pocket of his undershirt.According to what he said, today is not the day to go to work, so it doesn't matter if you dress casually.Considering today's occasion, the girl also chose a more sophisticated attire──

She combed all her bangs back, exposing her forehead, and tied her ponytail high and tight behind her head.Norie Kanzawa was wearing the same sweatshirt, jeans and flat shoes. Anyway, she was with other people the whole time, and the girl only brought her mobile phone and wallet, and even left her keys at home.

"It's still early," Kanzawa Jiyu looked at his watch, "Do you want to eat something?"

Speaking of which, this is the first time Kanzawa Norie and Kanzawa Jiyu have dinner alone.

Normally, his work is always too busy, and his work and rest time are almost completely staggered with them. The time at the dinner table is the only time they spend together, and the topics are also limited. To put it simply: the three people know each other well. deep.Just as Kanzawa Jiyu didn't know that she didn't drink coffee at all, she didn't know what taboos black-haired young people had on diet.Kanzawa Yoshihiro took a sip from the coffee cup, narrowed his eyes, and seemed to be enjoying it.

Unlike the twins, Kanzawa Yoshihiro inherited only the outline from his mother. As for the hair color and eye color, they are all the same as his father's, which is as black as ink.

"I've spoken to your year directors."

The girl who was staring at her mobile phone blinked her eyes and almost pricked up her ears. "For what?"

"It's a matter of skipping a grade." Kanzawa Jiyu raised his hand and added some milk to his cup. He and his mother both like sweets. The black coffee every morning is purely for refreshment. For him, there is no taste enjoyment at all. "What I'm trying to say is that I don't feel burdened by the fact that you can't skip a level."

The girl listened to him without saying a word.

"The responsibility I have to bear is not light. Forget it from my grandparents. It has been passed down from my grandfather and belongs to Toshiji Kanzawa's family. I will not allow anyone to take it away." Kanzawa Jiyu said, " So I recognized early on what my responsibility was, and I knew early on that the challenges I faced were never easy."

"If it worries you, it's because I'm not capable enough to deal with this difficult problem." Kanazawa Jihui noticed that the elder brother's phone screen was lit up, and the screen on the lock screen was a photo of him and a girl. Both men in graduation gowns were laughing, with his university buildings in the background, "So I don't mean to blame you at all, it's better to say that it is my shortcoming that you are so eager to help."

"So──" Kanzawa Jiyu stretched out his arms and rubbed her hair. He actually started this movement. At that time, Kanzawa Jizheng was still young, and he also became addicted to it after imitating the example. But Ji Zheng seems to have forgotten this little thing. "Ji Hui just needs to walk according to his own pace. Don't worry about catching up with me. You still have so many beautiful scenery that you haven't seen yet."

"Yo!"

Kanzawa Yuki was wearing Teiko's sports jacket, and waved to the two people in the audience.He is a typical pressure player, and the attention of the crowd can't make him play abnormally. This trait is especially useful in the game.Kanzawa Norie also waved back lazily, the black-haired young man put his hands in the pockets of his undershirt, smiling and looking at the boy by the pool.

The girl also saw Himejo Ayaka, standing right next to Kanzawa Kishomasa, holding a record board and towel, as if telling him what to pay attention to.The other party also saw her, but turned his head away with a slight smile. Kanzawa Jizheng once asked the girl if something happened between her and Jicheng. As if he didn't want to talk more, he didn't ask any more—but that didn't mean he wasn't curious.

"What is Ji Zheng participating in?" The black-haired young man next to him asked.

"100-meter butterfly, 200-meter freestyle, four-by-one-hundred relay." Although Kanzawa Norie is not a member of the swimming team, she still knows Ji Zheng's activities well. Very obvious pride, as if forced to implicitly praise his son's mother, "That guy is really strong."

Although Teiko's swimming team is not as famous as the basketball team, it is still one of the strongest teams in the city.After all, today is the qualifiers for the National High School. For Kanzawa Jimasa, qualifying is just a matter of getting something out of the bag. The question is just how many places to qualify.The duration of the swimming competition is a bit shorter than that of the basketball competition. When the competition is in full swing, Kanzawa Norie is already abroad, because all she can attend is the preliminaries and early preparations.

Kanzawa Jizheng finally qualified as No.2. This speed is neither good nor bad for him, and he is playing at a normal level.The black-haired boy leaned against the shore in the pool, sat on the edge of the pool with his hands, and removed his swimming goggles to look at the records of the meeting. Kanzawa Yoshihiro raised his eyebrows, obviously a little surprised by the boy's results.

By the time the preliminaries were over, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.The girl and the young man were waiting outside the swimming pool for Kanzawa Jiyu to come out. The two decided to have dinner outside tonight to celebrate, and Kanzawa Jiyu decisively reserved a seat.Kanzawa Norie turned on her phone to read the messages on Twitter, and at this moment the notification of unread emails lit up.

Akashi Seijuro put down the water bottle.He still had a towel on his head, sweat was streaming down his cheeks, and Kise Ryota, who was sitting on the bench with him, started checking Twitter as soon as he was free, and consciously took charge of reporting interesting news, such as this: " Hey, the preliminaries for the swimming team have started."

Akashi, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and picked up his phone.

The one who took the photo was Norie Kanzawa, but the one who tweeted was indeed the account of Norisha Kanzawa. There was no accompanying text, only a photo.In the photo are not only the twins, but also Kanzawa Yoshihiro, who Akashi has seen once. The three of them squeezed into the small picture, the brown-haired girl was in the middle, and the other two stood on both sides of her. Because of their hairstyles, the two A man is more like a family member.Kise lamented that this man was exactly the same as Kanzawa Norisha, but Akashi had already opened the editing page and passed the time and place of tomorrow's pre-selection to Kanzawa Norie.

"Yes, I did receive w, see you tomorrow ヽノ"

Sounds like a pretty good mood.Akashi was about to reply, when he heard someone calling him, he raised his head to realize that the rest time was over, the red-haired boy wiped his sweat with a towel, and stood up after taking the last sip of Pocari.

The next day the girl woke up unexpectedly early, when she tidied herself up and was ready to go out, even the basketball team had just arrived at school to assemble.Kanzawa Norie saw that it was still early, so she decided to have breakfast near the gymnasium.

Kanzawa Jizheng just finished his qualifiers yesterday, and today there is a match with his teammates, he got the key to the swimming pool from Ji Cheng, and went back to school to practice by himself.Kanzawa Jiyu also went out early, not knowing what he was going to do, but since he didn't take the briefcase out, it must be a private matter, Kanzawa Jihui didn't think much about it.

The driver didn't go to work on Sunday, and Norie Kanzawa arrived by JR by himself. While playing on his mobile phone, he sent an email to Akashi, "Cheer up, captain".Ever since she suddenly started calling him Captain Akashi, the title seemed to have become more casual, and Akashi Seijuro didn't mind the title, so Kanzawa Norie continued to call him "Captain Akashi".

Since it was only a qualifier, the venue was not grand, but the momentum of the Diguang basketball team was still too grand.Everyone can see that the strength of this team of players is no longer comparable to last year.Kanzawa Norie came early, and found the seat very close to the front. When she arrived, she realized that most of the nearby basketball team members were from other schools, and she was the only one who had nothing to do with her.The girl was a little unnatural at first, but after thinking about it, this was one of the few opportunities she could be there to watch, and she didn't always be there, so she felt relieved.

Because of the position, when the basketball team came in, Kanzawa Norie could see the expressions on their faces clearly.Akashi's expression was more solemn than usual, as if there was only one thing in the world worth his attention.The girl noticed that he was wearing the No. 4 jersey and was sitting on the main bench. She had seen all the people next to him—even they were all sophomores, and the seniors from the third grade were all sitting on the reserve bench. They are voluntary.

In other words, Akashi Seijuro and his party have the talent that others are willing to give in to.

The supervisor in a suit explained something to them, and the five stood up and prepared to fight.Perhaps because it was the only girl above, Seijuro Akashi found her without any difficulty. Norie Kanzawa was dressed simply, crossed his hands on the railing, and looked back at him with a smile.

This is the first time Kanzawa Norie watched Teiko's basketball game.

What she watched before was the internal training of the team. The quality of Teiko's basketball team was quite high, and she didn't realize it at the time, but now the gap in strength became very obvious—like this ball, which was passed by Kise Akashi, Akashi passed it to Qingfeng again, stretched out his hand and poured it in.Cheers erupted in the court, Kanzawa Norie looked at Akashi, and suddenly remembered that he had never shot a basket on the court, but in the previous practice, he was clearly able to shoot.

Later, Kanzawa Norie asked Akashi, and the red-haired boy answered her mind lightly.

"I am a point guard. The most important duty is not to score, but to play a central role on the court. I organize the offense, which does not mean that I will conduct the offense. Of course, if the situation was the same, my judgment would be to do it myself. If the ball is better, I'll take it -- but more often than not, other people score more directly."

Akashi Seijuro does not covet the credit for scoring goals, all he cares about is the win or loss of the entire team.If there was a moment when Norie Kanzawa began to truly understand Akashi, it must have been on this day when the girl was on the high ground of the court overlooking the red-haired boy directing the attack in the crowd.
