[Comprehensive] different hearts

The black and white chessboard is dotted with stars.

Go is a game of strategy, and because of this, the character of the player can be seen to a certain extent.Unlike Akashi, who is step-by-step, making plans and then moving, Rina's character in Go is radical-eager to implement his own plan, and appears restless and restless.

In fact, there are also factors that make her nervous.Whether it's stagnant air, a disparate chess game, or...

With a flash of white light, the whole room was illuminated by lightning, and the deafening thunder came one after another. The girl holding the white piece trembled, and the piece fell on the chessboard, making a crisp sound like jade stones hitting each other. .

Oh no--

The move that was supposed to be sticky fell by the side of the black chess by accident. If it was said that it was just eager to advance, this move was to directly send the meat to the opponent's "big dragon".

...Yes, if the middle game is not reached, the opponent's "big dragon" has already survived, and there are not many "eyes" and live chess left on his side.

"You can regret the move." When she was hesitating, Akashi said calmly.

After being told by Akashi, Rina didn't want to make excuses anymore. She bit her lip, and after realizing that Shirako's decline was indeed irreversible, she shook her head and said, "It's time for Akashi-kun."

There is no way... She has come to this point, even if she is a touzi, she doesn't want to admit defeat even if she has been slaughtered by the opponent.

Akashi thought for a while, and let Kuroko down.

So far, Baizi has no room for redemption.

"You lost." After Akashi withdrew his hand, he made the verdict simply and neatly.

Of course, such a result is logically known. Go needs to think calmly and play steadily.But with Akashi-kun as his opponent, there is no way to completely calm down no matter what.The mood of wanting to win was unprecedentedly clear, but in the end he lost everything.

"Yeah," Rina replied unhappily. After he didn't have to think about how to play chess, the sound of thunder like gongs and drums became clearer, and his eyes drifted away. Rina asked as nonchalantly as possible, "So, Akashi-kun What was the request just now?"

The winner has the right to make the loser do anything - this is the bet Akashi made before the start of the game.

"Luoshan's basketball department owes a manager." Akashi slowly put the sunspot into the Go box.

Li Ming was taken aback, looked at Akashi, and said hesitantly, "Akashi-kun means...let me recruit someone for you?"

"I don't think that anyone other than you is qualified to be a manager." Akashi raised his head, those eyes of different colors showed a magnificent and secret coolness in the dark room, making a loud noise like thunder outside. It hit Li Ming's heart.

Akashi's tone and tone are not so much a straightforward statement as it is closer to a command.

Usually, no one can refute his orders.

What's more, I am willing to gamble and admit defeat.

"I see," Li Ming pursed her lips and said again, "but..."

The following words were almost crushed between the lips and teeth, and were quickly covered up by the thunder.She trembled.

"...I'll take you back to your room." Seeing the girl's cautious reaction, Akashi had already put away the chessboard and stood up.

"Eh? But Akashi-kun should not be on the way, I live on the second floor..." The guest room is on the first floor, if Akashi chooses to send her off, it is obvious that he will have to walk more.

"You're afraid of thunder, aren't you?" Akashi stared at her, using a very normal tone, exposing the fact that she tried so hard to hide in one fell swoop.

So he noticed... No, wait!

"C-I'm not afraid!" Li Ming blushed, not knowing whether it was out of shyness or anger at the fact that the other party knew everything early on but still did something bad without knowing it, and insisted, "I can-- "go back.

The sound stopped abruptly.

Warm palms were raised and handed to her.

Li Ming stared at his palm prints in a daze, and an extremely reliable voice mingled in the heavy rain and thunder rang in her ears, and she couldn't refuse and said——

"Let's go."

"Li Ming, you put on makeup today."

Not long after class ended, one of the girls who often surrounded her immediately noticed that Rina was dressed differently than usual.Li Ming who caught her eyes didn't have her long hair hanging loose like usual, but tied her smooth gray hair into a high ponytail with a silver-white headband. The girl's tender skin was more fair and rosy than usual, A closer look revealed that she was wearing nude makeup. Li Ming usually used light-colored lip gloss, but today she was wearing an unruly orange-red lipstick.

"Rina looks good without makeup!"

"But doesn't it look better after makeup? It's very complex, which eye shadow is Li Ming using?"

Facing the lovely girls who surrounded her, Rina showed a gentle smile as always, not only took out the eyeshadow box from her bag and handed it to them, but also asked in a good-tempered manner, "Would you like to try it?"

"Okay, okay." Immediately, a girl smiled playfully and moved a chair to sit in front of Li Ming. Li Ming picked up the eyeshadow brush, observed the other person's facial features and skin color for a while, carefully selected a base color, and helped her apply it. makeup.

"Speaking of which, Rina's reason for putting on makeup today is indeed that!"

"Miki!"

"What's wrong?" Rina tilted her head in confusion.The reason for the makeup—was afraid of thunder and almost stayed up all night, and woke up with dark circles comparable to panda eyes, and had to cover it with eye makeup...how could she say it!

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm still under investigation, so it's a secret~" Mei Jibi made a gesture of silence, showing a sly smile and urged, "Hurry up and get on with it, how do you get this eye makeup done next?" ..."

"Ah... first use this color as a primer, and then..."

·

What are Meiji and the others hiding from her?

After school, Li Ming appeared outside the door of the basketball department in a state of anxiety. From a distance, she heard the sound of dribbling from the basketball court and the harsh screams of sneakers rubbing against the ground.

Basketball team members in twos and threes are training.

Pass, dribble, layup.

After a while, the team members were sweating profusely.

Li Ming observed their every movement, and every sound made by the basketball beating on the ground was like a stone falling into a calm lake, stirring up every memory in her.

—she always looks like that.

Whether it's now or when I was in Diguang Middle School.

Akashi on the basketball court is a little different than usual, he is more sharp-edged and domineering.At first, maybe not like this, but...

When she came to her senses, she had been watching, standing in the auditorium, day after day, from the perspective of a bystander, watching that group of outstanding teenagers called the "Generation of Miracles". Laurel, they walked away step by step in the eyes of everyone, and fell apart unconsciously.

A basketball rolled down in front of her, Rina bent down to pick it up, and when she raised her head, she met the surprised gaze of the tall slender boy.

"What, what, such a cute girl...is cuter than me! Let me guess your identity," the boy tilted his head slightly, resting his right index finger on his temple, thinking for a moment in distress, Suddenly he clenched his right fist and tapped the palm of his left hand, and suddenly realized, "You are the manager that Xiaozheng said was coming today, right? Xiaozheng—the lovely manager is here."

"What, what? Lovely scripture—" Hearing the greeting, Ye Shan jumped out like a monkey after seeing the real face of the manager, his smile froze on his face immediately, and he said in a trembling voice, "Yongyongyongshan Liming ?”

——Forgive him. He still remembers the last time he accidentally punished Akashi, and being punished by him for training doubled the feeling of being overdrawn to the limit!

"Yes, I'm Yongshan Liming." Liming nodded.

"What are you doing standing outside? Come in." Akashi looked sideways at the outside of the basketball department and said immediately.

Hearing Akashi's order, Hayama returned to the basketball court immediately, while another boy with black messy hair followed after Rina entered the basketball club, and complained, "Xiaozheng is really, you have to be gentle with girls, do you understand?" I understand." Then he said to Li Ming: "Xiaozheng, you should know, I won't introduce it. The one just now is Hayama Kotaro, and my name is Mibuchi Reo. Please give me more advice in the future, manager."

·

After a brief mutual introduction, Li Ming officially became the manager of the basketball department of Luoshan High School.

"You have assisted in the work of May before, and you should know the general responsibilities of the manager," Akashi would not spend the extra time on meaningless greetings. The introduction was over, and Akashi handed over the training form to her, straight to the point He quickly deployed the work, but after a slight pause, he added, "Come to me if you have any questions."

"Well, thank you." Rina obediently took the training form. When she was in Teiko, she often watched silently from the auditorium, and because of this, she got acquainted with the manager of the basketball department, Momoi Mayzuki. After getting acquainted with each other, Momoi always dragged her to the backstage, saying that it was too difficult for one person to deal with so much information, and asked Rina to help.

Therefore, Rina still understands the basic work of the manager of the basketball department, although he may not be as good as Momoi - Momoi Mayzuki is an expert in intelligence collection, has strong tactical command ability, and can use the data in his hands to predict our side The growth of players and opponents.However, she will try.

Not only because this is Akashi-kun's personal invitation, but more importantly, she doesn't like to give up halfway, or don't do it, and do her best if she wants to do it.

This is the principle that Yongshan Liming persisted to the point of being almost paranoid.

The basketball department of Luoshan University already has its own training mode, and it can train normally without a manager. On the first day as the manager of the basketball department, what Liming should do is to familiarize himself with and supervise the training of the players and assist them from the side .

After the warm-up training, there was a routine training match. The first-team players and the first-team players were drawn into two groups for training. Li Ming sat on the coach's bench and recorded key data with a pen.

Akashi drew the first group. Although the first team is already a leader in the basketball club, there is still a world of difference compared to the first-choice players. Soon, the game between the two players became a two-team competition. The contest between Li and Zhengxuan.

"Akashi called your name just now, do you know each other?" At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the side, she tilted her head, looked up, and the boy with silver-gray hair and eyes handed the unopened mineral water to him. After her, his tone was flat.

"Well, thank you." Li Ming took the mineral water, recalled it a bit, and called out uncertainly, "Senior Dai?"

"You don't seem surprised to see me at all. Are you and Akashi classmates in middle school?" Dai Qianxun asked again, not noticing Li Ming's subtle nervousness when she heard the word "middle school age", Dai Qianxun Looking at the bloody scene on the court, he lowered his eyelids, and continued, "Do you know the old-style Phantom Sixth Man?"

"Ah...oh." Realizing that Dai still didn't know the relationship between her and Akashi-kun, Rina quietly asked with a sigh of relief, "Are you referring to Kuroko-kun?"

"Heizi—is that the man's name? What kind of player is he?" Dai asked a series of questions in a calm tone, paused, and then said, "Compared to me, how?"

"Mr. Heizi has a good temper. Although he has no sense of presence, this trait also makes him a fish in water on the court. It can be said to have advantages and disadvantages." After answering some of Dai's questions, Li Ming suddenly remembered something, so he chose Turning his head to look at him, he asked back, "You said the old type just now, so, are you the player Akashi-kun is looking for to replace Heizi-kun?"

"I have no intention of replacing anyone, and I don't intend to do that for the game. It's really boring." Following Dai's listless voice, the referee whistled loudly. At the end of the round, Akashi's team had nothing to lose. Winning doubtfully, Dai Qianxun's name will appear in the next game.He stood up straight and walked towards the court, waved his hands and said, "If you can't tell which one is better, me or Heizi, just watch the new type of game in the next training game, manager."

"Is Kuroko-kun... the old type?" Rina unscrewed the mineral water bottle, her eyes chased Akashi outside the court, and after meeting his cold gaze from the side of his head, Rina subconsciously avoided it with trembling slender eyelashes. opened.

What comes to mind is the warm scene when the generation of miracles has not yet separated. Compared with the current Luoshan University, which one is better, I can't say the name, but... well, forget it.

It is enough for her to do her job well.

·

This is the first day she takes over the job of the basketball department manager. Even if she has the experience of assisting Momoi from the sidelines, it is the first time to officially become the basketball department manager. The setting sun has turned the sky red.

The club work has been over for more than 20 minutes. After Rina locked the side door of the activity room, he just turned around and met Akashi who had changed into the uniform of Luoshan High School.

"Have you finished the inspection?" Ignoring the inexplicable surprise on her face, Akashi looked calm and spoke indifferently.

"Ah... um." Remind asked in disbelief after recovering from his daze, "Akashi-kun... are you waiting for me?"

"Yeah." He nodded, and said calmly, "Last night, thanks to Mr. Atobe's care, before leaving the former your mansion this morning, Mr. told me to deliver you safely at home."

"You don't need to pay attention to what grandpa said..." Li Ming eagerly argued with some embarrassment.Early this morning, my grandfather took her and said, "Life is like chess, and Akashi-kun can comprehend this level of chess at a young age. He is young and promising, and has a bright future." Come back and play chess with the old man", all kinds of explicit hints, and he almost shook Akashi-kun's shoulder and asked "When do you plan to marry my granddaughter".

I don't know how grandpa will react if he finds out that she has dated Akashi-kun...

"I don't like breaking promises." Akashi refused bluntly, and he said casually, "And I have something to ask you, let's talk about it on the way."

Rina was always unable to refuse Akashi-kun's request - mainly because she didn't dare.

She sighed inwardly and followed Akashi's footsteps.Originally thought that Akashi-kun would call the driver to pick him up, but unexpectedly this time he walked.

In the breeze and the setting sun, the young boy's slender figure was coated with a layer of gentle gold. He cooperated with her footsteps and slowed down his pace appropriately. He listened patiently when she spoke, and after learning about all the conditions of the team members during training, He said sincerely, "Thank you."

"No, I'm very happy to be able to help Akashi-kun." Rina said softly.

This way... it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.No, wait, something doesn't seem right.

…Why was she able to walk, chat and discuss work with her ex-boyfriend as if nothing had happened?

"We can still be friends after breaking up~" Even an idiot like Fushantaro wouldn't believe it!

"That, Akashi-kun. Akashi-kun asked me so many questions, I also have a question to ask Akashi-kun, is it okay?" When walking on the overpass, Rina suddenly stopped, and after getting Akashi's permission, She took a deep breath, looked up at the red-haired boy, and asked seriously, "Why did Akashi-kun choose me to be the manager of the basketball club?"

Akashi turned his head back, he watched her silent for a while, opened his thin lips lightly, and said a word slowly——

What followed was the whistle of the truck passing by, like a swift hurricane, which buried the boy's cold voice like snow.
