Kitagawa Love has had a fairly easy year, thanks to the blessing of Ziyuan's mother, those people in the Kitagawa family did not say sarcastic words to her, and Kitagawa Ryosuke, who returned to his home, said a few words for Kitagawa Ai, although I don't know where his intentions are.

Ai Kitagawa, who returned to Tokyo, lived with his father in Tezuka's house for a few days, and after being abused by Tezuka's grandfather with Go for a few days and nights, he and Tezuka Kunishin went to the cemetery to visit Kitagawa Scarlet.

Maybe it's because time has passed, she is enjoying her current life very much, as long as the people of the Beichuan family don't come to provoke her, and the people on her mother's side don't have any messy ideas, she thinks she can be her student quietly, and she won't get involved in tiresome disputes.

The new semester is coming in anticipation, and after being promoted to the second grade, Ai Kitagawa can finally be called a senior.

And there are more changes within the school.

After the third year that has graduated leaves the school, the first two years who have just been promoted to the third year are eyeing the vacancies in various positions, but what no one expected is that the position of student council president will be occupied by Akaji.

Even the position of head of the shogi department and the head of the basketball department fell on him.

It stands to reason that this is not in accordance with the regulations, and the teacher does not agree that he should occupy the position of head of two departments alone, but no one in either the shogi department or the basketball department is willing to replace Akaji as the minister.

Teachers are faced with two choices. First, the post of minister was vacant, and the deputy minister took the place of the minister, and second, let Akaji occupy two positions.

Between the posture of the deputy head of the shogi department and the posture of 'if you replace the minister of Akaji, I won't do it anymore', and the basketball club that made him directly promoted from the vice team to the main team was the former captain Hongcun, and finally the instructor agreed to this situation that will not occur for almost ten years.

The top leaders of the two ministries and one congress are the same.

In addition to this, there have been some subtle changes within the basketball club.

For example, the appointment of the appearance list for each game was given to Ai Kitagawa, the supervising assistant coach.

She replaced the head coach who often disappeared from the public eye and the supervisor who only played the role of watching, and took over the distribution of the entire team, and to put it bluntly, she became a kind of suspicious manager.

Sometimes, even the captain has to listen to her words, and the ordinary members of the department who dare not resist the captain naturally obey Beichuan's orders.

After the start of the school year in April, the results of the year test rankings were announced shortly after, with Akaji in first place, Kitagawa in second place, and Midorima in third place.

This list is still expected, looking at Midorima, who was pressed behind by Beichuan again, he pushed his glasses and said seriously: "I will definitely surpass you next time." ”

Kitagawa smiled and rubbed his hair, looking at the ranking with great interest.

The list of the top 100 students in the whole year will only be posted, and Beichuan Ai swept around and didn't see the names of other familiar people except them, and finally chose to give up.

"Do you want to go with me in the pre-game draw?" Akaji, who didn't know when he was standing next to Kitagawa, said.

Beichuan took out his mobile phone and looked at his calendar: "When." ”

"Saturday afternoon, Central Gymnasium." Akaji said.

The silver-haired girl nodded, "Okay." ”

Her current daily routine is training in addition to studying, training with everyone on the Diguang basketball team, and even pushing off many dates between girls. Since Echigo Nozomi quietly stopped subtly ignoring her bad grievances in front of others, Kitagawa obviously felt that the girls who had hidden knives in their smiles had a sincere attitude towards her.

Although it doesn't matter to her, her interpersonal relationships are better and it is much easier to do things.

In other girls' lives, it's either studying, soap opera, or falling in love, she and Maygirl are a little too weird, heaping in the middle of a group of rough guys to shine, but everyone still needs them.

Neon China, almost every sport will have a national competition, such as the more famous tennis, baseball, football, or swimming, in recent years, is mahjong this gambling nature of intellectual activities have gradually formed a regular game of the project, not to mention basketball.

Although baseball's position in neon is different, the exposure rate of basketball games is not as good as it, but if you play a wonderful game, the appearance of the Diguang team is enough to crush a group of opponents, and the support rate on the way to winning the championship is higher.

Akaji and Kitagawa take the train to the Central Gymnasium to draw lots, and listen to the person in charge of the organizer explain the rules and requirements of the competition, and Kitagawa notices that many strangers are looking at him.

"Looks like you're getting a lot of attention, Akaji." Kitagawa Ai teased.

Akaji raised his head and glanced at the audience, and the eyes of those who were still sneaking around immediately converged, as if they were a thief, and the neat movements made Kitagawa Ai, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but snicker.

"It seems that you made a name for yourself last year, but it's a pity that I didn't come in earlier."

Akaji turned his head and his kind gaze fell on Ai Kitagawa: "It's not too late. ”

"Diguang Middle School!"

When the roll call came to Diguang, Akaji stood up and answered, and the noise in the venue remembered that usually two people would come to a school, and they pointed at Akaji, and they didn't know what they were muttering to each other, and the whole venue was like being covered with mosquitoes.

Akaji, who took out a piece of paper from the cardboard box, opened the paper, looked at it, handed it to the person in charge, turned around and walked back towards Kitagawa Ai.

"How many were drawn?"

"Group B No. 8."

Akaji said.

Beichuan Ai watched the person in charge write the logo of Diguang Middle School on the right column, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "The first opponent of our regional competition is the empty seat attached to the middle school." ”

Akaji lowered his head slightly and thought, "I remember that the members of their competition last year didn't have very good students. ”

Ai Kitagawa took a photo of today's ranking with her mobile phone and sent it to Momoi May, asking her to collect information and organize it into numbers.

And her mind was already imagining the layout of the members of the competition.

There are too few substitutes in the basketball department, and Kitagawa Ai has picked a few more people to be the cold bench. After all, you can't really use a set of routines to be low, too ordinary game schedules will waste people, Kitagawa Ai hopes that they can also play basketball in the future, not just to win the championship in middle school at the cost of their bodies.

According to the information recovered by Momoi in May, in the first game of the regional competition, the empty seat was attached to the middle school, and the main selection team of Diguang was still the habitual layout of last year's National Sports Competition.

At least you can look good at the beginning of the game.

Sports magazines like to go to various schools to take pictures and interviews, especially as last year's champion, and there are many reporters who follow to record the first game of the new year's national competition.

Last year's best result was a fourth-place finish in the regional group stage, and this year's first match against Diguang proves that if they lose this game, the rest will have to beat other schools in the repechage to qualify for the tournament at the metropolitan level.

"In addition to the first game, all the candidates will be on the board, and the standard teams will only be used in the later games." Ai Kitagawa's plan surprised Akaji a little, he thought that Kitagawa would directly let the main selection of the first army bring the members of the second army to the field even in the first game.

Regarding Akaji's doubts, Ai Kitagawa just blinked slyly: "I always have to leave something for the media to write about, seduce them to take the bait, and don't let them eat meat hehehe." ”

A good cute bun face, but this obscene rotten smile was revealed, which made Akaji retract his gaze a little confused. I don't know if it's his delusion, but the more I get along with Kitagawa, the more I can find the great difference in her appearance and personality.

And this difference just hit the excitement of Huang Se.

As a member who is often treated harshly by Ai Kitagawa with a smiling smile, Ryota Kase has a great collector's habit for any expression on Ai Kitagawa's face other than 'expressionless', seeing Ai Kitagawa humming a rotten smile that seems to make a strange sound, and his hands are itching to take out his phone to take pictures, he has never seen this kind of smile, and he really wants to collect it.

If Kitagawa Ai knew that Huang Se had such a strange hobby

Can she smash Huang Se's mobile phone first and then smash Huang Se's people.

The first match of the regional competition was held at the Central Gymnasium, and since one of the players was the winner of the previous year's national competition, there were still many people who came to watch the game, and the media reporters were already seated. However, after all, it is only the first game of the qualifiers, and the number of people cannot be compared with the game at the capital level, and it is already good that the audience seats in the entire stadium can be half full.

But basketball isn't for spectators.

After signing in with the District Organization Department under the leadership of Hongcun, Akaji, and Beichuan, Diguang and the others went to the backstage dressing room to change clothes, and all the staff put on the blue and white Diguang representative jerseys and prepared to play.

The courts of the Central Gymnasium were cleaned, the floors were smooth, the basketball was brand new, and the members of the two teams warmed up at their respective venues before the personnel were in place.

Ai Kitagawa stood in the rest of the field, holding the tactical board in her hand to study, and the substitute member Huang Se, who was sitting next to her, had his eyes wrapped around a mosquito coil in order to understand the content of the tactical board.

After hearing the referee's entrance, she put down what she was holding and sat with her hands on her chest.

Realizing that there was something wrong with Kitagawa Ai's expression, Huang Se leaned over and whispered, "Little Kitagawa, are you a little nervous?" ”

Beichuan Ai, who was pierced by a word, was stunned for a moment, turned around and stared at Huang Se with a cold gaze, and wanted to ask how you know, but for the sake of face, she still pressed it down, pointed to the field and said, "Pay attention to everyone's movements." ”

Because of Huang Se's lack of experience, he needs to take advantage of the few opportunities to watch from the sidelines to learn the style of play of small forward Ashizaki.

After all, in addition to this, the five group games before the Tokyo Metropolitan Tournament will be led by him and Ashizaki.

As for the others, Kitagawa loves to make his own arrangements, and he just doesn't let them go to the game anyway.

"Now for the qualifiers in the Tokyo area, the competition between Teiko Junior High School and Kuza High School has officially begun. Salute! ”

"Please advise!!"
