[Comprehensive Manga] Live with a smile

April [-]th, Saturday, the weather forecast said it would be sunny today.

There is a festival in the town today, so the coach said that the holiday will start in the afternoon, so that everyone can have fun in the town.Pay attention to traveling together, don’t leave alone, there are many people who commit petty theft during this kind of festival, so be careful in everything, and remember to go back to the hotel at night to rest and roll call.

The rare summer camp finally has time to play. The members of the basketball club gathered together and divided into small groups.Many of them looked in the direction of the main election, where the only female managers on their trip were standing, discussing the next training plan and the process of going to the festival later.If the main candidates invite the girls, then their subordinate troops must be out of luck, so they are all gearing up and waiting for the news.

After briefly confirming the team leadership process with the other female managers, Momoi watched the girls go to their respective echelons to explain the situation, then turned around and saw Kise looking at the white-painted wall.

Yesterday, there was a girl who jumped up to a height of more than two meters and rolled over there.

And she hasn't come back until now.

"Don't worry, Xi Ji's words will definitely be fine no matter where you go." I was also a little concerned about Xi Ji's not coming back, Momoi still said comforting words, finished the morning training report, and prepared I'll hand it over to Akashi later.Huang Lai was distracted during training today, maybe it was because of yesterday's incident, how about talking to Xi Ji after returning home?

Kise stood under the wall as if he didn't hear.

He had to straighten his arms to touch the edge of the wall, but Xi Ji was able to turn over directly, which always felt a bit hurtful to his pride.

As Momoi said, Kise wasn't too worried about whether Yuki was safe or not.From the perspective of Xi Ji's world that he has come into contact with now, that girl is not afraid of anything at all, and all obstacles in front of her are not worth mentioning. She is so powerful that she doesn't need anyone's protection at all.She was so strong... as if she had already entered another world, making Kise feel that she couldn't reach her.

This girl doesn't need him to stand up to protect her, nor does she need his soft words to comfort her. What she can do by herself doesn't need another one of him to help.

A little unwilling and a little lonely, Kise thought for a whole day, and finally got the answer that she couldn't be the person around her.

They can be ordinary friends or classmates, but they can't go any further, and even the possibility of becoming close friends is disappearing little by little.Looking back now, being interrupted by that weird blonde girl in the hospital was really interrupted.

Huang Lai, who had figured everything out, sniffed, the unique smell of soil and vegetation on the mountain had a soothing power in the afternoon sun.

Forget it, since you decided to put things down, don't think about it anymore, why not just enjoy the festival at night.

As soon as Aomine went back to the hotel to put his things away, he saw Kise facing the wall cheering him up, pointing at Kise who was looking silly and asking Momoi, "Did the kid become stupid after falling out of love?"

"Shut up, Ada, let him stay alone for a while." Momoi finished writing the report, handed the pen and paper to Aomine, and said, "Give the report to Akashi, I'll go back and pack up, you Wait for me at the door."

At any rate, they were the first ones in their "age of miracles" to be troubled by love. Aomine, who is a little interested in this kind of youthful, sweet and peachy love topic, now really wants to go up to talk to Kise, and ask him why he fell in love with the captain sister.However, the report in his hand reminded him that if he didn't hand in the report soon, Momoi would definitely beat him up when he came out later.

"Chi...ah, your cat hasn't fallen yet?" He opened the paper door, and saw Akashi sitting cross-legged on the tatami, with a small table in front of him, covered with a few sheets of paper full of English characters, It seems that he is still writing something.

Seeing Aomine come in, Akashi stopped writing and asked him what was the matter.

Aomine kept looking at the little white cat on Akashi's head, handed over Momoi's written report, and asked casually: "You put the cat on your head, you are not afraid that the cat will shit on your head Little poop or something?"

As soon as the words fell, the little white cat that had been glued to Akashi's head since the morning jumped up suddenly, waving its sharp paws and pounced on Aomine's face.

"Ah! Akashi, look at your cat rebelling!"

Watching one person and one cat twisted into a ball with no expression on his face, Akashi looked down at Momoi's report.He paused for a moment when he saw Kise's distraction in training, and then continued watching.In the main election, Aomine was fine, Midorima was fine, Kise was distracted, Murasakihara ate and cleaned the floor by himself, and Kuroko had no problem...

Confirming that nothing serious happened, Akashi nodded and grabbed the little white cat that was still moving around from Aomine, put away those strange papers with English characters on it, and lowered his head to ask Aomine, who was scratching the cat's hair: "You and What are Momoi's plans for the afternoon? The Kagura dance is at three o'clock in the afternoon, and there will be a series of ceremonies after that, and the street vendor temple fair will start at night."

"What are you talking about in May?" Qingfeng patted his clothes and stood up, frowning, and said casually, "Maybe let's go to the town for a stroll. I haven't seen the town for a few days except for morning jogging."

"Momoi suggested it, right?"

"It's so annoying to you."

Watching Aomine shut the door while muttering, Akashi looked at the report, resting his slender fingers on the low table, tapping again and again.

Facing the empty room, he asked, "Do you want to go out for a stroll?"

The only person who could be questioned was the little white cat, wagging its tail and rolling on the tatami.As we all know, cats and cat tails are two kinds of creatures. The little white cat is now in love with her tail, and she doesn't even want to spare time for a "meow".

"Okay, I have someone put away the clothes in the closet of the house, you can stay here until you recover." After finishing speaking, Akashi stood up with the papers, "There are too many people in the team who are not worried, and I also Go out and have a look."

The little white cat still didn't look at him, her goal now was to scratch the tatami, she scratched several scratches, and she had a soft spot for the rattling sound.

Thinking about how much he would pay the hotel in the future, Akashi closed the paper door.

He looked at the paper in his hand. It was full of various letters written by himself. Combining and arranging, it can be seen that the words "shrine", "snake god", "time of day", and "festival" were written in Roman accents. and so on.Deciding to go to the front desk to ask for a lighter to burn the paper after a while, Akashi looked back at the paper door again.

Although Xi Ji didn't disclose any other information during the exchange, there must be a reason for her being so out of order yesterday.There must have been some unexpected incident that he didn't know about the night before, but so far, no one in the team has shown any abnormalities, so could the problem be with that Natsume from Yahara?

Akashi, who knew that Yuki had feelings for Natsume and even cried foolishly, was thinking, but couldn't figure out what Yuki was thinking now.

We can only wait until she recovers.

"Gala"

"Meow!"

Akashi who opened the door sighed in shock and doubt, squatted down and waved towards the room.

The culprit who made a mess of everything in the room, and every tatami was scratched ran to Akashi's hand in a ditty way, and proudly rubbed Akashi's palm, without feeling that he had done anything wrong.

"It's already night, why hasn't it changed back?" Picking up the little white cat, Akashi stroked the cat's head skillfully and smoothed its fur, "Do you want to eat something? You only drink a little water since you came back, really Are you okay?"

The little white cat shook his head, yawned and licked his nose.

Now the sky has turned dark, and the time of encountering demons has passed, but Xi Ji is still in the state of a cat. Could it be that something happened?

Akashi took out a pen and paper from the mess in the room and asked, "Then what do you do now? Go to that snake statue?"

There was another meow, and Akashi nodded, pointing to the mess in the room and said: "After recovery, you will clean up the room yourself, and put it back no matter how messed up it is."

"Meow!"

"Don't talk back!"

At first, I thought that my silly sister's transformation into a cat was the most embarrassing thing about this cohabitation, and then Yuki didn't change back on time, but Akashi didn't know that Murphy's Law really is the truth of the world until he arrived at the shrine's festival site.

The female manager of the second echelon is standing in front of him with a look on the verge of tears, with a sad look on her brows, and said: "When I saw Nozaki rushing out, I already felt bad, although he said he would definitely find him." Come back. In the end, even Wakamatsu, who went to look for him, didn’t see anyone. Everyone went to the radio station to call for someone, but they didn’t see anyone for half an hour. Why on earth..."

Standing behind Akashi and listening to all the main candidates looking at each other in silence.

As for Nozaki, remember the tall guy with the most out-of-the-box thinking in the second echelon?It seems that recently someone said that he wanted to draw manga more than playing basketball... Fortunately, Yuki had never met him when he came to the basketball club, otherwise it would be a catastrophe for two crazy people to get together.

With an extremely soft sigh, Akashi put the little white cat on top of his head into the hands of Momoi behind him, and after a few simple instructions, he reluctantly followed the female manager to find someone.

As the captain of the entire basketball team, after taking over the burden from the previous captain, he has already become aware of dealing with all kinds of bad things.

Holding the little white cat, Momoi brushed the cat's fur and said, "Let's go shopping for the festival first, it's rare to meet. By the way, when did Akashi bring this cat here, and the name is so similar to Yuki. Could it be that Xi Ji Zilian raised her?"

The little white cat who was killed by the wind review was unconscious, still looking around from left to right, while meowing and meowing.

Seeing this, Heizi at the side stretched out his hand towards Momoi, and said, "Why don't you let me take her with you, it won't cause any problems staying here."

Momoi, who was still a little worried that the little white cat would be squeezed away or run away, nodded immediately, and placed the little white cat carefully in Heizi's hands.With Heizi's physique, he shouldn't have to worry about someone plotting against the cat, and he also likes this kind of small animal, so he doesn't have to worry about the cat running away suddenly.

Seeing that it was confirmed, Kise who cheered up next to him immediately pointed at the lively crowd and vendors, and strode forward: "Okay! Then let's go!!"

Momoi from behind: "I always feel that he's a little pitiful now."

Aomine casually took out his pocket and said, "Sister Akashi isn't here anyway, so let him do whatever he wants. Hey, I don't have much money with me in May, so you can lend me some."

"Oh, I also want a nest!" Ziyuan also approached vaguely.

"...Wait, have you already started eating!? No, are we missing someone?" Suddenly realizing something, Momoi looked around and saw Midorima in the shooting booth, holding today's auspicious sign in one hand Things - a box of chocolate bars, holding a gun in one hand, seems to be full of confidence in himself.

Then he fired several shots and missed a single shot.

Midorima opened the box of chocolate bars in silence, and found that there was nothing inside, then immediately looked up at Murasakihara.

Murasakihara: "Crack, click... don't worry about it."

"Ahhhhhhh my mascot!!"

Heizi left the crowd and walked a long way. When he arrived behind the shrine, it was nearly eight o'clock, and it was almost time to set off fireworks.

The festival in this town is nearly a month earlier than the festivals in other regions. Watching a fireworks here, you may be able to watch another one in other places in August.

Unlike the bustling festival site, this place is so quiet that only the chirping of insects and distant noises can be heard, making it seem even quieter.

"Fireworks will be set off soon..." He looked at the sky over there. With the shrine blocking it, he could only see the half-covered sky, which was not the best place to watch.

He touched the purring little white cat in his arms one after another, blowing the cold night wind, he couldn't explain why he came to such a place.Maybe it's because I want to be alone, or I think the festival is too noisy, or maybe I'm thinking of the girl with a bright smile who suddenly ran away.

It is easiest to think too much when you are alone, especially when everyone is making noise, but you choose to be alone.

The starry sky is gorgeous tonight, perhaps such beautiful stars are more worth watching than fireworks.Heizi was thinking about something, and walked around this small open space. He heard the cries of insects in the bushes, cicadas in the woods, and some small animals, but they were all suppressed by the ceremony. The uproar muffled the sound.

Huh?

Then he noticed that there was a path leading to a deeper area at the edge.

He stretched out his hand, and unconsciously had the idea of ​​whether to go over and have a look.

"Shhhhhh!"

The fireworks finally started to go off.

A ray of light rises into the sky, blooming instantly in the dense night, countless sparks are mixed in all directions, and the complex colors and simple patterns outline the appearance of the night sky in the sky.

Sparks flickered and disappeared.It was as short as a beautiful dream, fleeting.

At the moment when he saw the fireworks, Heizi couldn't help holding his breath.

Then he felt something glowing...

The girl he was thinking of emerged in this faint light, and both of them looked at each other with surprised faces.So surprised that the two of them didn't even notice the distance between them.

"Pfft!"

The two fell to the ground, and Xi Ji fell directly into Heizi's arms. The smell of a boy of this age rushed over his face.

The moment she felt it, her face flushed instantly, and she quickly raised her head from his embrace, meeting the eyes that Heizi was looking at.

In such a beautiful night, it also reminds me of the clear and clear sky, the sky blue eyes.

Maybe it's the noise from afar, or maybe it's the fireworks blooming in the night that illuminates the flushed faces of the two of them, or maybe it's the little thoughts of adolescence that are suddenly pointed out but can't be explained clearly.

It's just that in this moment, Xi Ji completely forgot all about the past, and only had this person in front of his eyes.

"That, that, I..."

It's so strange, although he is usually so eloquent, he can't say anything at this time.

"I don't quite know why it became like this..." Xi Ji, whose face was flushed and unable to think normally, even stammered a little, "But, but I really still feel..."

Heizi didn't open his mouth, but just looked at Xi Ji who was pressing him down and still didn't know, racking his brains to figure out how to answer.

Thinking of the end, Xi Ji's blushing face became even redder. She covered her face and felt that she couldn't calm down at all, so she reluctantly expressed her thoughts: "I don't know why you like me, but... I, I This kind of person is not that good, I am not the kind of person worthy of being liked..."

As she spoke, she bit her lower lip, looked sad, and looked directly at the face of Heizi who was close at hand.

"I'm sorry, but I really think that people like me are really not good enough for you."

The fireworks rose again, and the short light once again lit up the small space.Heizi looked at Xi Ji's face, which he could touch with his hand. Although he also blushed, he shook his head as if he had expected it.

"No, it's me who should say sorry. Thank you for saying no."

——Actually, I already knew it.

I knew that I would be rejected, I knew it was impossible to agree, I knew this decision would be irreversible, but I still said it.

Because if you don't say it, isn't it more painful?

The author has something to say: Kise and Heizi really chose the opposite way that didn't suit their personalities. If Kise was willing to make a formal confession, it might not be the ending.

Thanks to Heizi's confession to Xi Ji, he was scared to forget about his illness, but in the end he refused because of low self-esteem (

The game is too difficult, so here is a survey.

If there are 7...[-] people in this chapter who leave a message saying that they can join V, I will apply for V and let go of Tickle Rat [-]k+ every day until the end, if not, I will continue to live the game.

Anyway, the number of remaining chapters in this article should not exceed [-] chapters (probably) so I think this survey should not meet the standard (hug knee)

Update normally.
