[Black Basket] Give me a chance to say I love you

When the chaotic situation at the scene finally stabilized and Takao's violent cough gradually subsided, another 10 minutes had passed.

The vanilla milkshake in front of Heizi had already been eaten to nothing but the box while he was watching Takao, and the half cup of lemon black tea in front of Takao had already been replaced by a kind waiter with a cup of steaming milk tea.

Of course, Takao would not admit that she used the "sick" beauty trick to the beautiful store manager who came over because of concern, so that she made herself a cup of milk tea for free.

Of course, Takao didn't bother to care about the fact that he actually used Kise's habitual starting lineup. Anyway, the point now is:

How to counter the attacking posture of the enemy named Heizi——

"Takao-kun..." Heizi tilted his head slightly, wanting to say something.

"I don't need you to greet me anymore, I'm fine." Gao Wei's face was still flushed, he held the cup in his hand vigilantly, resolutely refused to take another sip before the other party finished speaking, and then "fierce" His eyes glanced at Heizi in front of him with disdain.

"Ah, let's get down to business. I found out about Takao-kun's death the next day..."

Even Takao, who had been prepared for a long time, couldn't help shaking his hands, "It's really straightforward... The news of my death... Heizi, a guy like you... How can a single cell like Vulcan Taiga be by your side?" lived so long..."

"Takao-kun, we are talking about business, please don't interrupt the topic casually."

Under Heizi's serious accusation, Takao reluctantly surrendered, "Hey, please continue...ah no, please start from the beginning."

"I really don't understand, for a person like Takao-kun who can't get right to the point and has frequent accidents, has Midorima-kun never said anything?"

"...Heizi, you won..."

The outdoor temperature is still slightly low, and the room is still somewhat warmer, so the windows are covered with hazy water vapor, making it hard to see the outside world.

The long fingers with high tails are stirring the teaspoon round and round, and their eyes are always fixed on the swirling ripples in the cup, as if immersed in their own peace.

"...The news of Takao-kun's death, I actually found out from Midorima-kun's phone... It seems that the aunt who cleaned the room every day found your body, she called the police in a panic, and then asked the security department in surprise. In the registration book, I found Mr. Lujian's phone number and called. At that time, Mr. Lujian rushed to the airport. I was standing in front of him. I heard some words, but I couldn't hear them clearly. Maybe something happened to you. When I asked Mr. Lujian about it, he said it was nothing, so I didn't ask any further."

"Is that so..." Takao looked like he had expected it a long time ago, and still quietly twirled the teaspoon in his hand.

"Afterwards, Akashi-kun and Murasakihara-kun also came. Although I deliberately chose the day when Akashi-kun opened the quarterly planning summary meeting, Akashi-kun came after hearing the news. He was very...excited..." Heizi paused , as if thinking of something, "Vulcan's temperament has always been very impatient, and he was already very impatient when he could bear Akashi-kun. Akashi-kun's attitude is not good, so naturally he will not be much better, so the two of them were together. There was a quarrel, of course, I called Mr. Lujian to pull them away..."

"At this time, the person hiding in the dark made a move, probably aimed at Akashi-kun, after all, Akashi-kun is such an identity... Midori-kun turned his back to the person hiding in the dark, just happened to come from not far away On the glass of the bulletin board, I saw the red dot before aiming that is unique to a sniper rifle...so I blocked Akashi-kun..."

"After Midorima-kun fell, the scene became very chaotic for a while. Akashi-kun himself seemed shocked. The bodyguards rushed out to protect us and sent someone to arrest the sniper, but Akashi himself suddenly resisted. , wanting to go to Midorima-kun... Fire God-kun said that if it wasn't for Akashi-kun, Midori-kun would not have died...So, Akashi-kun broke out all of a sudden..."

"Akashi-kun pulled out a fruit knife out of nowhere, and then stabbed directly at Vulcan-kun. Vulcan-kun was talking to me at the time and didn't notice at all. Instead, it was Murasakihara-kun who had been standing beside Akashi-kun... And that knife exhausted all of Akashi's strength and anger..."

"Mr. Midori, who was sent to the hospital, was declared dead... and Mr. Murasakihara was not long after being sent to the emergency room..."

"how about you?"

"My words... I was also very confused at the time, and then I was on the road outside the hospital..."

Takao looked at the sunspot in front of him with a flat expression as if he was telling a story that had nothing to do with him, and couldn't say anything.

"Sometimes I also think that I am the only one who is the cause of everything. If it were not for my intervention, probably Takao and Midorima-kun wouldn't be at loggerheads; if it weren't for my self-willedness, probably Aomine-kun wouldn't either. Cut off ties with me; if it wasn't for my existence, probably Vulcan-kun wouldn't need to delay joining the NBA for me, delaying his future in vain, and Midorima-kun, Murasakihara-kun, and Akashi-kun wouldn't become what they were later... ..."

"At the end of the day, it's all my own fault."

Time passed bit by bit, but it seemed to be stagnant between the two of them. Takao was still drinking the cold milk tea in the cup without a sip, while Heizi stared at the milkshake in front of him with some dull eyes empty box.

"It's getting late, Heizi, that idiot Kise will come looking for me in a while, I'll wait for him at the door." Takao pushed away the milk tea in front of him, "I'm glad you can tell me these things today, no matter what, it's okay I feel relieved. But, after all, it is a thing of the past. Since you are alive, don’t always be immersed in the past. I believe you understand this truth better than me. God is fair, not so much that we sacrificed ourselves The most precious thing was exchanged for this chance to come back. I prefer to think that this is a gift from the gods and a response to our wishes. Heizi, think about the wish you made at the last moment, maybe this is The reason we're able to come back here."

"If you feel lost, take the wish you made as the reason for your existence. No matter what kind of wish it is, we are here for it in this life."

The moment the door opened, the wind howled in from the outside, causing the bells on the beams to jingle, but Takao's mood became clearer than ever.

He took out the phone from his pocket, and a line of familiar names was jumping on the screen.

--"Hello?"

——"Little Takao! You finally answered the phone! Ah... I was so worried when I saw the report in the morning. It's too much to actually bring Xiao Takao and that golden-haired guy together!"

——"Huise... the golden-haired guy in the report is not only unbreakable, but also you, are you despising yourself?"

——"Hey—is there actually me?! Wait, I'll look for it... Where is it... Hey!! It turned me into the background and only took a blurry back! It's too much! Obviously that The Golden Retriever is so clear! How can you treat me as a supporting role!!!"

——"This is not the point... probably because I wanted to connect with Starlight Entertainment that day, so I deliberately described the relationship between me and Mr. Bupo..."

——"Speaking of it, Ko Takao! What happened that day! Why did you suddenly say that you were going to film with Director San? That's so strange! You didn't tell me, Ko Takao..."

——"Kise... We can talk about this matter after we meet, I don't really understand it myself, by the way, where are you now?"

——"Ah, speaking of this... sorry, Takao, I have my last announcement before the college entrance examination this afternoon... so I'm afraid I won't be able to pick up Takao, sorry... I will definitely not do this next time... ..."

——"Okay, okay, I get it... You should make an announcement... Goodbye!"

Quickly hanging up the phone before Kise's complaints came, Takao couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Rubbing his ears that were numbed by someone's malicious cuteness, Takao thought about it and decided to go back to class to get his schoolbag before walking back. After all, he has no club now, and there is no need to join after class Just leave school for training.

So, Takao turned around and walked towards the school, and was stunned when he saw two figures of a man and a woman walking out.

With long straight black hair and a slightly tall figure, she was indeed the Nanase Orange I had seen before at noon.I saw that the two of them seemed to be talking about something interesting. After becoming the head of the basketball department, Midorima, whose expression became more and more sparse and dull, couldn't help flashing a helpless and indulgent expression, which caused the girl next to him to let out a series of clear smiles. Voice.

Even without himself, Midorima's life will have other lights. At this moment, although he didn't laugh, it is obvious that he is in a good mood...

That's great, if that's the case, don't you feel relieved...

Just when Takao was hesitating whether he should hide for a while, so as not to disturb the relationship between the two, Midorima just turned his head and saw Takao standing beside him.

The footsteps that were moving forward involuntarily stopped, causing the smiling girl to follow his gaze and turn her head strangely, and then covered her mouth with an exclamation.

"...Senior Takao?!"

"You...you seem to be in the first grade, right?" Takao looked at the girl in front of him with a look of unfamiliarity.

"Ah... Well, I am Nanase Orange from Class C of the first grade. I was appointed as the manager of the basketball team when I entered school. I have met my seniors on the training ground a few times." The girl turned her head and glanced at Midorima beside her. There was no response from the other party, and just now he stepped forward and introduced himself softly, looking like a flower that would be blown down at any time.

If he hadn't seen that scene at noon, Takao probably wouldn't have imagined that such a frail girl would accuse and forgive Midorima like that, let alone that she would hold such a big resentment towards herself.

"Manager..." Takao scratched his head in distress, "Sorry, I don't have much impression of you, it seems that I rarely see you in the basketball club."

"Eh...Because of poor health, I only occasionally suggested some training methods to Shintaro and the coach, and I didn't go to the basketball club very often..." Nanase Orange smiled a little ashamedly, and explained.

"Well, there's no need to explain to me... Are Nanase-kun and Midorima-kun going out together?" Takao waved his hands.

"Ah... um... Shintaro and I..."

"Takao." Midorima who had been silent all this time suddenly said, "Are you..."

"Huh? What is Midorima-kun trying to say?" Takao looked at Midorima with a strange face, as if he didn't understand the other party's meaning at all.

"The magazine said... that you are going to the showbiz..."

"Ah, Midorima-kun, didn't you say that, that's what the magazines said~ Hype or something, it's a very common thing." Takao waved his hand, as if he didn't care much.

"But...you..." Midorima hesitated and seemed to want to say something.

Nanase, who had been watching the scene with a frown on the side, couldn't help but speak.

"Takao-senpai, please don't always be so indifferent. Shintaro... He has been very sad about giving up basketball because of you, senior... Please at least explain, even if you gave up basketball to enter the entertainment industry... At least please give Shintaro an explanation!"

Takao's gaze suddenly tightened, and then he turned to Midorima with a smile that was not a smile.

"Giving up basketball for the sake of showbiz... Hey, Midorima-san, do you think so too?"
