[Kuroko's basketball] Ome

I've only been a dog for half a day before I start hating cats. ——I don’t know the so-called inscription By Garfield

At first, it was indeed a deliberate attempt to hide from the neighbor boy.

Girls who seem to have thick lines are always inexplicably sensitive to some small details. Although I have known Midorima for many years, I have a deep understanding of the boy's arrogant and awkward personality, but in fact, there is always a small name in the girl's heart. For the low self-esteem villain.

He must have thought she was annoying so he refused to tell her.

The villain who has lived in quietly since the first year of the country has been watching the moment when the host shakes, and sneaks in when there is a slight gap. Negative emotions spread to the brain along the blood, and then the girl instinctively shrinks herself in the place where she belongs. own world.

She knows what the people around her think of her. She is clumsy and slow. She is so idiotic that no one can match her. Her personality of crying at every turn will make ordinary boys shy away. Girls often express their sympathy for Midorima behind their backs.

That's right, if she had such a clingy neighbor on her own, she would be so helpless.

After thinking about it for a while, she began to spurn herself uncontrollably. The girl who thought she should be justified and angry at Midorima became inexplicably depressed again, until there was a slight sound from the balcony.

"Meow~" is the voice of Green Taro.

She walked over barefoot and opened the balcony door. The little guy was lying weakly on the balcony and looking down at something. She followed its line of sight. The green-haired boy was walking out of the gate of the community with a bag on his back. The sound of a boy talking to a passing neighbor.

"Xiaozhen, do you still go to school on the rest day?"

"There is an important game recently."

It's time to compete again... She propped her hands on the balcony and stared blankly at his back. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the unusual quietness of the little guy beside her. It was very faint, and her usually energetic eyes also showed an unusual dimness, and she panicked for a moment.

"Xiaozhen..." The blurted name suddenly stopped, and she glanced at the back of the boy who had already moved away. She gritted her teeth, picked up the little boy, turned around and entered the room, quickly put on her slippers and walked out the door.

You can no longer rely on Xiao Zhen.

It is rare for a girl who has always been naive to make a mistake, perhaps with a little anger, but the hope that Midorima will win is pure.

"Lu Taro, I believe that Xiaozhen will definitely win." She said firmly to the little guy in the isolation room, the black cat's amber pupils reflected the blood of her hands clenched into fists, and then turned her head slightly.

"Meow~"

******

nothing is forever.

Midorima's only good friend during the Teiko period was Akashi. No one would believe this, but the boy gradually developed a weird relationship with that person in the process of losing to Akashi one after another. friendship.

Or to be precise, it is called a sense of sympathy. Of course, for Midorima himself, it is Akashi's talent rather than that weird personality that is worth cherishing. Similarly, for Akashi, Midorima is the same as the members of the generation of miracles. Both are important partners, but at the same time, they are also things that must be discarded on the way forward.

Cherishing each other does not mean liking each other.

"I don't know what defeat is."

This is one of the words that Akashi often says that makes Midorima the most uncomfortable. It is because he doesn't know it, not because he has never tasted it. This person obviously puts himself in a high position, distinguishes himself from everyone else, and holds a chess piece in his hand. Strategizing seems to be under control, but it's like what Momoi blurted out once.

"When Akashi-kun plays chess, it always gives people a feeling of otherworldliness, which is weird."

It's as ethereal as if you might leave at any time. When you win a game, you are sweating profusely when you high-five each other, and you rarely see that person sweating. No matter when and where, you are so calm and self-sufficient. Akashi Seijuro brings the greatest impression to the people around you. It's absolutely unreal.

It's an unreal feeling.

It's not that Midorima has never lost. He has never won Akashi in exams and shogi games, but basketball is different. He has never lost in an official game since he started playing basketball. After becoming a generation of miracles, he has never known defeat. taste.It doesn’t matter whether he was paralyzed by the victory or over-confident, he always confidently felt that if he did everything he could, he would be blessed by the destiny, so he would definitely win, but he never thought that such an original intention would doom him One day you will lose.

"Why do this?"

He remembered that when Akashi announced that they were all going their separate ways when he graduated from the third year of junior high school, he had asked this question. In fact, he didn't feel any reluctance. He just picked up a chess piece and slowly placed it on the opposite position.

"At first, I just wanted to remind everyone of one thing."

What is it?At that time, Akashi fell silent without saying a word, and Midorima didn't ask again, but kept this question deep in his heart, waiting for the answer silently while embarking on a new journey.

Then encounter former companions who have turned into rivals.

"I believe in the words of Vulcan-kun, and I will be able to jump up, and Midorima-kun who believes in this will definitely put the ball down again."

When the whistle sounded for the end of the game, his mind was constantly churning with Heizi's words, and then his brain, which was almost rigid because of this unexpected thing, finally remembered that when he first joined the club a long time ago, the young captain seemed a little bit Inexplicable declaration.

"Let me just say one thing, basketball is not a one-person sport."

Who doesn't know that basketball is not a one-person sport?Such important common sense.

Thinking of this, Midorima couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips in a self-deprecating manner. In the end, the person who forgot this common sense was himself, or the owner of the Generation of Miracles.

Could this be what Akashi said he wanted them to remember?

After the bombings of Momoi and Aomine were over, he closed his phone and stood by the wall in a daze, not knowing what expression to face his seniors for a while.

Speaking of which... Miyaji-senpai's pineapples are about to be harvested again...

The continuous rain dripped from the sky, hitting the face with a slight tingling sensation, which awakened the young man's mind wandering in his mind. He subconsciously raised his head to face the rain, hoping to wake up, and the phone rang again.

Seeing that the displayed number was her mother, Midorima was stunned for a moment, and instinctively reached out and pressed the call button. The voice of her mother, who is full of energy 365 days a year, immediately penetrated through the rain.

"Xiao Zhen, did you bring an umbrella in such a heavy rain?" She seemed to be still working overtime, and vaguely heard the sound of carts coming and going in the hospital corridor and the sounds of nurses taking medicine, "Hey, I was going to let Xiaoqian I went to bring you an umbrella, but her mobile phone has been disconnected... Really, you young people, you only know how to run around, and you don't know how much your family is worried about..."

"...Where did she go?" Finally, he found something to say, Midorima spoke slowly, and the other end of the phone chattered again.

"It's just that I don't know, isn't that kid only with you... I was wondering if I went to cheer you up..."

Luma didn't hear what she said below, and suddenly a figure covered him in front of him, followed by a slight "meow" sound from the figure's arms, blurred vision and the effect of rain, he couldn't see at all. Knowing who it was, the black cat suddenly rushed towards his face, and the phone slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

"Xiaozhen..."

The girl who lost her umbrella while chasing the cat was standing wet in front of the boy. He couldn't see her expression, but could only hear the girl's panting from running. The next moment, he was surrounded by her forcefully. Hugged, together with the kitten in his arms.

"I knew that Lu Taro's words would definitely find you!" Her voice sounded joyful, but there was also a faint hint of crying. He froze and didn't know how to react.

"I believe in the words of Vulcan-kun, and I will be able to jump up, and Midorima-kun who believes in this will definitely put the ball down again."

Heizi's words flashed through his mind again, the boy's eyes flickered slightly, and his eye sockets were inexplicably sour.

Midori Taro, who was dissatisfied with being squeezed, struggled to get out of his arms and lay on top of his head, yawning lazily, as if he didn't care about the heavy raindrops that kept sliding down his head, and the girl in his arms was still there Non-stop chatter.

"I'm sorry Xiaozhen, I wanted to bring Lu Taro to cheer you up again, but I got lost again... Lu Taro suddenly ran out by himself, I chased all the way, it's great to see you again! "

"...Running here from the hospital?" He said with great difficulty, putting his hand on her shoulder and trying to push her away, "Is she really an idiot?"

"Yes, I'm an idiot! As long as I'm an idiot!" Chihaya said suddenly, her arms hugging him tightened again, and the cheek against his chest could clearly feel the speed of the heartbeat. She couldn't help muffled, "Xiaozhen, you cry, I'll just hug you like this, you won't be able to see it."

...Lvma was speechless for a moment, there was clearly warm liquid rolling down from the sockets of his eyes, but the corners of his mouth were upturned contradictoryly, realizing that she was lying in his arms really obediently, motionless, he couldn't help stretching out his hand to help her. On her hair, it was wet again after light rubbing, but his mood was refreshing like never before.

"Idiot..." The very soft voice seemed to be scolding the girl who was playing tricks in Luo's arms, but it was more like talking about herself who had become anxious about gains and losses because of this idiot.

"Xiaozhen, did you say anything?" The girl who kept the promise muttered to herself, and Midorima snorted softly.

"There will be no next time." Whether it is losing or letting this idiot to comfort myself, don't do it again.

Chihaya suddenly laughed.

"I know, Xiaozhen won't lose." She raised her head and pointed to the kitten that was dozing slightly above Midorima's head, "Lutaro must think so too."

"Meow~"

The kitten who thought she was asleep suddenly let out a low cry, as if agreeing with Chihaya's words, the girl froze for a moment, and the expression on her face suddenly felt a little smug.

"Look, I'll just say... Ah... Ah Choo!"

"Idiot!" Midorima said anxiously.

"Ah Choo!" This time it was Midori Taro.

"You too!" Midorima jumped.
