Trapped in the sunset

After they left, silence fell among the remaining Age of Wonders members.

"Who is that woman? Akashi's girlfriend?" Finally breaking the suffocating silence was Aomine Daiki's unruly sneer: "It's unbelievable that Akashi would be liked by anyone. "

"Ada! Don't talk nonsense!"

"Aomine-kun, please don't say that."

What Tetsuya and Momoi Itsuki blurted out at the same time were almost subconscious reactions of the two.

Tetsu also couldn't bear Aomine to say so rudely about Weiyang because Weiyang was his childhood playmate; Momoi Wuzuki was because of his awe of Akashi and his affection for the girl whom he only met once.

"That's right, that's right, Aomine, you are really being rude to Kaiyinji-san and Akashi-san by saying that!" Recovering from the double blow of Akashi's gentle side and the unexpected intimate relationship between the girl and the terrifying former captain Kise Ryo joined their defense team without thinking too much.

After finally getting back the scissors and carefully wiping them clean, Midorima Shintaro pushed his glasses impatiently: "So do you have anything else to do? If not, I'm leaving."

"But Luzi, aren't you curious?" Atsushi Ziyuan said everyone's aspirations in a lazy tone-"Also, little black boy, moon girl, Huang Zi, you all know the one next to Chi Zai people?"

Momoi Itsuki and Kise Ryota glanced at each other, then nodded slowly: "Yes. I met a few weeks ago when Tetsu-kun was fighting against Lulu. But at that time we only knew that she was in the same class as Akashi-kun, and It's the same table, but I didn't expect—"

Unexpectedly, Kaiyinji Weiyang would have a very close relationship with Akashi Seijuro.

"Oh." Ziyuan continued to tear the package of snacks that could not be torn apart, and muttered in a low voice—"It's so troublesome, why can't I still open it? It would be great if Shizai was here."——Then said: " What about you, little black boy?"

"Vulcan-kun, toilet paper, please take it and wipe off the blood on your face." Tetsuya who was finishing the sentence with Vulcan Dawo heard Ziyuan's question and said to him without changing his face: "Weiyang is my childhood sweetheart." Then silently added the same thing as last time in my heart—should.

"Ah, little black boy's childhood sweetheart." After finally opening the package, Ziyuan's eyes lit up, and he threw his head up, and he swallowed the whole bag of potato chips.

"It's really boring." Qingfeng Dahui twisted his neck, turned around and walked towards the gymnasium: "I'll go first. Zhe—" He turned half of his face at this time: "Don't let me play in the game later." Disappointed. But I still say the same thing - the only one who can beat me is myself."

. . .

Compared with the subtle atmosphere of the Age of Miracles, the two people who had already walked away were drinking drinks leisurely at this moment.There was no tacit mention of what happened a few minutes ago.

The sound of their footsteps was amplified by the echo in the empty corridor.

Wei Young held the honey lemon juice she bought for herself in her hand, and rubbed the body of the soda can with her thumb.

She turned her head slightly, looked at the bangs that the boy had cut off for herself at random, and couldn't help frowning—"Hey, Akashi-kun, is it really necessary to do that to your hair?"

"Huh?" Akashi's footsteps paused, and his strangely colored eyes, which were usually oppressive, were now slightly tinged with a smile.He raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smile - "Why? It's ugly?"

Hearing this, Wei Young frowned even tighter: "That's not true, it's just that I'm not used to it?" Then she glanced at him again, then turned her head slightly away, and unconsciously lowered her voice when she spoke again—— With a little helplessness——"Next time if you really want to cut it, let's go to a professional one."

Akashi didn't answer her, but just stroked her hair with his hand.

Wei Young, who was immersed in her own thoughts, came to her senses when she realized that she had followed Akashi to the side of the basketball court where the game had not yet started and there were only staff in twos and threes.The auditorium is already full of people, and if you look carefully, you can still see some familiar people.

The location chosen by Akashi is very secret, and they will never be seen by anyone in the shadows.

Even so—

——"Akashi-kun, is this really all right?"

Akashi clasped his arms around his chest, his sharp eyes slowly scanned the field, and he said the same sentence that he said twice today——

——"There will be no objection."

No one will object, and no one will dare to have any opinions.

Akashi Seijuro—his pride, his self-importance, everything seems so natural to him.He has the qualifications to look down on everything, and he also has the capital.

Wei Young listened to what he said and followed his example, leaning back slightly, leaning against the wall behind her.

She thought about it, and finally decided to ask, "Senior Intern, do they know we're here?"

Akashi nodded indifferently: "Ah. I just informed Coach Platinum, and he will pass on the message."

——It must have been because Hayama-senpai would have endless quarrels if he found out, so he didn't tell them in advance. . .

This sentence popped out of Wei Young's mind.

At this time, amidst the noise and anticipation of the audience, players from Seirin and Tong Huang appeared on the field.

Almost at the same time as they entered the stage, Wei Young caught the subtle uprightness of Akashi's standing posture from the corner of his eyes.Following his gaze, as expected, he saw Qingfeng Dahui on Tonghuang's side and the sincere Tetsuya.Momoi Wuyue, who was following the team, raised her head as if aware of it, and collided with Wei Young's gaze impartially.Different meanings flashed in the pink and silver-gray pupils, and they exchanged a smile again, and the two looked away together.

Looking carefully at Seirin, Wei Young had to sigh - they have improved a lot.Especially the red-haired boy named Vulcan Taiga.

but--

Taking a closer look, Wei Young involuntarily looked towards Tong Huang.

Eyeballs rolled around between dark blue and red hair, then pursed his lips——

"Well, Akashi-kun, that Aomine Daiki and Kagami Taiga seem—very similar?"

"Did you find out?" Akashi's gentle voice sounded in her ears: "If you want to say that they are similar, it should be only the two of them have unlimited potential and that beast-like talent. Moreover, those two people are both Tetsuya's ex and The current "Light", it is inevitable that the two of them will have some similarities. "

"Tetsuya's 'light'? "Wei Young murmured softly.

"He didn't tell you?"

"Yeah." Wei Young lowered her head, and replied weakly: "Zhe Ye, he rarely mentioned to me what happened in his junior high school. Up to now, I only know that he used to be called the sixth man of illusion in the Age of Miracles." , his presence on the field is almost zero, and his current partner is Vulcan Taiga. The rest is..."

"Do you want to know?" Akashi asked her lightly.

"...En." After hesitating for a while, Wei Young still nodded.

She wants to know.Especially after witnessing the heavy tension between them.

Akashi sighed silently, his eyes were still fixed on the stadium where the game finally started, but he gently began to tell the girl about the Teiko period——

"Heizi Tetsuya, to be honest, even I didn't notice him at first. In the Teiko Middle School basketball club, our slogan is "a hundred battles, a hundred victories", and the number of club members exceeds one hundred. We were divided into a group based on our strength. , Second, Third Army, everyone in the Age of Miracles—except Kise Ryota—all entered the First Army from the very beginning and became the starter; Tetsuya stayed in the Third Army all the time. His physique is very special, no matter how hard he tries Even if he trains hard, he can't improve his own ability. Aomine Daiki is the first person among us to discover the existence of Tetsuya. Through him, I met Tetsuya by chance. I mentioned him, and he lived up to my expectations The Earth has become the secret weapon of the Age of Miracles."

"...And after that?"

Akashi slightly raised the corners of his lips in response to her childlike questioning, but when he spoke, his face turned expressionless again: "We were a real team in the beginning - people who trusted and supported each other. At that time, We are just a group of teenagers with higher talents than outsiders but miraculously gathered together. The joining of Kise Ryota and the evolution led by Aomine Daiki in the near future are the precursors of our disintegration." Speaking of this Akashi paused: "But here, let me tell you about Tetsuya's skills first. Tetsuya's basketball is integrated into the Misdirection in the magic, that is, he uses his already low presence to make him useless. One point plays his "disappearing dribble" on the court.Dribbling is the only thing Tetsuya can do, but he has judgment beyond anyone else. Even if he can't shoot or defend, his role is very important at the beginning.But this type of player cannot be independent, they must attach to another player and become the "shadow" of that person.And Tetsuya's "light" is Aomine Daiki. "

Wei Young stared intently at the light blue figure on the field, and looked worriedly at the one-sided situation facing Tonghuang.

"As I said just now, Aomine Daiki's evolution is a harbinger of the collapse of the Age of Miracles, right? His evolution came too early. With his rapid progress, other members had to follow him to reach another realm. We were all too young at that time, and we were conceited about the sudden lack of opponents. During the game, we threw away "cooperation" and "team spirit".And Tetsuya is no longer needed by us. "

Akashi's almost cold words made Wei Young's pupils shrink, and her heart seemed to be pinched tightly by someone's hands, causing a dull pain.

"In the third-year all-middle school game between us and Mingqing, we deliberately scored 111 to 11. Our actions made Tetsuya's friends who have always valued him give up basketball. Tetsuya retired after that, and then with We cut off all ties until now."

"So this is ah."

Wei Young stared blankly at her friend who was sitting on the lounge chair during the intermission, but was startled by what she saw.

Tetsu also cried.

"Tetsuya..."

Covering her head with a big hand, Akashi pressed the girl who looked like she was about to cry on his shoulder: "Weiyang, this is something between our era of miracles, don't worry about it."

"Of course I know!" she retorted weakly.However, her voice was muffled by the fabric of the boy's clothes.

——Of course she knows, she can't interfere in these matters.She has said this to herself countless times.But. . .Reason really can't beat the feelings in the heart.

. . .

On this day, Wei Young learned about the past in the Age of Miracles.

On this day, Akashi chose to confess to her.

No questioning, no complaints.

She kept all of this in her heart, and still chose to trust the boy, as well as her childhood playmate.

She believed from beginning to end that one day, everything will be fine.
