Double AS

Everything is easier said than done.

Midfield speaker sounded──

Midorima's three-pointer also happened to be a perfect basket.

The score was drawn.

As soon as you stand on the court, it means you have to face merciless baptism and trials.

Facing the competition, Tong Huang, who has just reorganized, is like a newborn baby. Naturally, it is impossible to imagine that other teams will slowly wait for him to adjust; the old and new hatreds of being severely humiliated and abused by Tong Huang in the past two years are mixed The obsession with dying to win the championship──absolutely destroying the dynasty.

End the myth.

In the first half, under Midorima's strategy, Hidetoku's defensive lineup headed by Takao was completely aimed at him──hardly stuck on Tonghuang's ACE.

Forced him to foul twice before he could break through their blockade.

But it also sent Hidetoku two free throws for no reason──as if this was also within Midorima's plan.

A towel covered his sweaty face.

A mocking smile broke out.

Last year, he and Kise also played with others like this, and now they are completely reciprocated.

──It's not good if you can't open the gap...

During the intermission, Qingfeng sat alone in the lounge (the coach knew that he needed to be quiet now, so he took everyone away), sweat dripping, raining like crazy.

And just before the end of the first half, Midorima's three-pointer actually went into the basket; now Tonghuang is lagging behind, which has a bad impact on morale.

Tonghuang's emperor sat alone in the waiting room, gritted his teeth, and analyzed the situation just after playing in his mind at high speed.

──Sakurai's stamina is failing. From the third quarter, first-year Iida and Ichinose will share his small forward position. These two juniors are physically strong enough to withstand the collision in the penalty area, but they are far from their tacit understanding Too far away, facing Xiude's heavy defense lock, there is no way to react.

It will only get worse.

──Kise is really good.

Tonghuang without him is like a broken arm.

(──Damn it! Could it be that the only way to win is to go the old way?)

He punched the bench fiercely.

He was not reconciled.

(Am I wrong...?)

Just when he was holding his head and was deeply entangled, there was a rattling sound outside the door──

"Wait, wait a minute, Wu Yue, don't pull me──"

"Anyway, it's here, at least it's good to say cheers to Ah Da──"

The lounge door was pushed open.

Momoi Wuyue hesitated, Natsuko Aomine, who was embarrassed for some reason, was dragged in.

Elder sister, Natsuko Aomine stood in front of her like that.

She actually came to watch her play.

"I, I just came to participate in Xiang Heyang's mother and sister meeting, so, that's why I stopped by, don't get me wrong──"

Her eyes were flustered and her face was red.

"I just found sister Xia Zi in the stands, so I dragged her over as soon as I entered the midfield." Wu Yue chuckled.

It seemed that she did come alone.

That old sister who knows nothing about sports, even the four quarters of basketball.

Actually ran to Tokyo to watch him play.

Qingfeng was also stunned for a moment.

The two sisters didn't know what to say for a while.

One stared blankly, while the other looked away with a flushed face.

"Talk slowly with your sisters──I'm going out first~" the murderer slipped away with a smile.

The door just slammed shut,

Xia Zi immediately turned around suddenly──

"What kind of crap are you playing!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he yelled at him.

"It sucks! It's so infuriating! Don't you feel ashamed to be beaten like this! Such an ugly game! Is this what you want to play?" She angrily threw her bag to the ground , the whole person ate dynamite.

"──Is this the game you want to play at the expense of your family? Is this the only thing you want to play? Is this the only thing you want to play?──This is the game you want to play at the expense of your family Is it? Not at all determined! It sucks! It sucks!"

"──You want to make our sacrifice meaningful!"

Her eyes were red, and she said excitedly.

"You didn't come when I got married, and so did Xiang and Yang when they were born! You gave up a lot of memories with the family for the sake of the ball! If you give up so many things, and then give up halfway, then we who were sacrificed by you are truly His sacrifice was in vain!"

"Thinking, "There is only the last year left anyway", so it doesn't matter? Is this the only level of your dream? Is this the only level of your attachment?"

Back then, she tore up the university admission notice in Tokyo while crying, and now she spends more time letting her two sons chase their dreams──

"Want to play? Then go and convince Dad! Go and fight with Dad! ─ Don't just talk about it! Convince him with practical actions!"

By the end she was crying.

"This family doesn't need you! You are not the only man in our family!"

"──I don't want you to tell me ten years later, "I gave up my dream for this family back then""

She was sobbing and sobbing.

Qingfeng was speechless.

He stared blankly at the sobbing and crying elder sister in front of his eyes.

"I want to play ball..."

at last,

Qingfeng spoke.

"No matter what happens, I will continue to fight──"

He cried.

"Only this I will never give up!"

Natsuko Aomine's eyes were swollen when she left. She used a handkerchief to press her red eyes from crying and left the lounge.He tried to put on a calm expression on his face.

"Excuse me," May said, blocking other people from entering the lounge. "Ace is resting and does not accept any interruptions."

She smiled and said to the sports reporters who wanted to interview Qingfeng.

"Wait, Tonghuang's emperor is going to reconquer the country──"

The second half of the semifinals.

Aomine stepped onto the court again.The light hit him dazzlingly.

"Let's have a good time and let them know who is the only emperor!"

Showing his trademark conceited and arrogant smile──throwing his coat back.

Megatron the audience.

"Aomine!" "Aomine!" "Aomine!" "Aomine!" "ACE──" There were thunderous cheers at the scene.The sound wave shouting headed by Tong Huang spread from the middle.The morale was soaring, and the momentum soared into the sky.

Then, the content gradually changed.

"Emperor!" "Emperor!" "Emperor!" "Emperor!" "Emperor!"

Standing in the middle of the field, Qingfeng raised his hands to accept the cheers of the crowd.No stage fright.

Awe-inspiring.

Then he uttered the classic saying——

"──The only one who can surpass me is myself!"

Tonghuang, who was reborn from the ashes, is stronger and more powerful──and has the demeanor of an emperor.

The reborn Emperor Tonghuang is even more dazzling.

Air pressure throughout.

Whether it is an enemy or a friend, they are all deeply intimidated by his aura.

What May said was right, the emperor came again and reconquered his country again.

──This time, it is not tyranny.

"Next year, I will definitely break you down." After the game, the two teams shook hands.Midorima said harshly to herself.There was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I'll stand here and wait for you to come to the door──" Emperor Tonghuang, Aomine Daiki returned the same smile.

basketball or something,

Really happy.

"Senior Aomine is talking to a young wife~" "And it feels very intimate~"

after the game.

The first graders hid under the wall and peeked at Aomine-senpai who was talking to a young woman in the corridor of the gymnasium.

"Have you even shot a married woman? As expected of a senior──"

Everyone showed admiration... no, it was an expression of admiration.

May shook her head in disgust.

──It was Aomine who led them to ruin them.

What pornographic magazines and pornographic films should I bring to the department to communicate.

"I'm leaving. Come back with the championship and determination during the winter vacation. Without actual proof, Dad won't be convinced." Qingfeng Natsuko was carrying the purse, with the same expression on her face that she couldn't bear this brother expression.

"Can you?" He had already promised his father that he would take over the family business after graduation.

If he repented now, what would the family do?

"Our family is not just you—your brother-in-law is far more capable than you." Aomine Natsuko rolled his eyes at him, "Say it yourself—keeping accounts, discussing business, approving goods, entertaining—what do you know? ? Dad really handed over the store to you and it will collapse within a year." His tone was sharp as usual, but now Qingfeng no longer hates his elder sister who always speaks like this.

"Xiuji is a very capable person. Although he always seems to be virtuous, he does manage the building materials business well. He is a powerful businessman, and many important customers in the family are negotiated by him── That's why I married him."

"... Is my elder sister marrying her brother-in-law just for the sake of the family?" Qingfeng couldn't help asking.This sacrifice is too great.

"In the beginning, yes." Aomine Natsuko said, "One day you will meet such a person, someone you can live with for the rest of your life." Yuan Wang's eyes softened a little. "But before that, let's get rid of your messy life. A man without a life plan is the worst man in the world."

"Also—please eat your classmates." Xia Zi stuffed several banknotes into Qingfeng's hand.

Aomine spread out his hands in shock, it was all Fukuzawa Yukichi.

"Huh!? Is it okay?" This is too much money.

"I'm in charge of the family accounts, and I have the final say on money matters."

Xia Zi gave him a sharp look.

"──It's very hard for them to follow you. You need to understand the human nature of the person who wants to be the captain."

She said to her brother.

She really is a grown up.

Although she has a bad temper, snarky words, and awkward personality, the elder sister is indeed a mature adult.

Although when I was young, I often complained why he didn't have an older brother who could play with him, but...it's not bad.

"Thank you..." Qingfeng clenched the money in his hand, he was full of gratitude.

"I am leaving."

Xia Zi turned his head and was about to leave.

It seemed that if Qingfeng said one more thank you, her ears would burn.

"Sister──" Qingfeng stopped him.

"I have one more thing to tell you!"

He stared straight at his elder sister, who had the same blood with him.

"If you don't change your unlovable and arrogant personality, my brother-in-law will definitely have an affair one day."

He circled his wrists and said loudly to his elder sister.

"Qing˙Feng˙Da˙Hui!"

Facing the elder sister's desperate screams, Aomine only responded with an extremely bright smile.

Watching the angry back of the old sister leave, the high-heeled shoes echoed vigorously on the ground—how could anyone wear high-heeled shoes to watch a football game?Is she an idiot?

And he didn't even know what position he was playing for.

But──Aomine hummed and laughed.

He was very happy.

This is the first time his family has come to see him play.

Even when Diguang won the championship, he was not as happy as this time.

──Yes.

Putting his hands behind his head, Aomine felt it.

──Whether it is ignorance to give in, or self-willedness to ask everyone to cooperate with me, it is not right.

Really, the way it should be done.

I still have to speak out my thoughts honestly, and then use the facts to convince Dad.

Even if there will be noise, friction, or unhappiness in the middle, we cannot escape.

"A real adult is one who can solve problems by talking."

My sister was right.

"If you can do this, you are qualified to ask your father to treat you as an adult, to listen to what you say, and to talk with you on an equal footing.

──I already look like a naive child, how can you tell him to treat you like an adult?You have to act like an adult before you are qualified to talk to him. "

then,

The older sister Aomine Natsuko said to him in the lounge with her arms folded.

Burying his face in the towel, he nodded desperately.

It was the first time I cried like this when I grew up so big.It exploded.

Dreams are made possible by the sacrifice and dedication of many people.

──Because of this,

So don't give up halfway.

Never stop.

Desperately want to chase it down──his basketball dream.

One more reason to win.
