"My relative's house is right in front." Chiba said suddenly.

Has it arrived? As a result, nothing was said along the way.

Perhaps, when that incident is in the past, it is not bad now, as if it is back to the original relationship.

"I..." Chiba didn't know how to speak.

"You should go back and rest early, you must be very uncomfortable when you first came here, pay attention to your body. Anything comes to me at school, I'm in class 9. Hikoichi took over, "By the way, the basketball team is very tired, and we will be competing in a few days." ”

Hikoichi's tone was a lot more relaxed, as if he really went back to the time when the two of them walked around Osaka together.

Hikoichi's ease made Chiba not know how to deal with it again.

"Okay." She was silent for a while, but she still showed a smile, "Training is so tiring, you should go back and rest early~Goodbye~"

At least, it will stay with you. Chiba waved her hand and turned to run away.

"Whew..."Seeing Chiba's reaction, Hikoichi smiled lightly.

Waving his hand at Chiba's back, Hikoichi also walked away.

Friendship, still there.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the fifth day of the county competition, the gymnasium was crowded. Today, there will be four matches played on this stadium, the so-called quarterfinals.

There are many teams participating in the prefectural tournament in Kanagawa, and the organizers have divided these teams into four divisions: A, B, C, and D. Each region will place a team from last year's semi-finals as the seeded team, and the seeded team will compete in the quarter-finals against the four teams that have made it all the way to the knockout stage for a place in the semi-finals.

The seeded team in Zone A is Hainan University High School, the seeded team in Zone B is Xiangyang High School, the seeded team in Zone C is Lingnan High School, and the seeded team in Zone D is Bururi High School.

The organizers still give great preferential treatment to seeded teams, and they don't have to participate in so many rounds of elimination. This is also a recognition of the strength of the seeded team itself.

In the quarterfinals, the four teams that win from each region will play a round-robin match. In Kanagawa Prefecture, where the battle is fierce, only the two teams that finish first and second in the round-robin tournament will qualify for the national tournament.

The two teams that qualified last year were Hainan University High School and Xiangyang High School.

And today's first game is the Xiangyang team against the Xiangbei team.

In front, outside the stadium, you can hear the noisy sound of the stadium, and the audience is enthusiastic.

"Where's Hikoichi?" Coach Taoka asked.

The Lingnan team came outside the stadium, they also had a game today, but it was not the first game, so there was no need to come too early.

"I just said I went to the bathroom." Xiandao said.

Not at all organized and disciplined ... Coach Taoka is angry.

"Let's go, let's go in first."

"Yes!"

At this time, Hikoichi had already come to the toilet with ease. Can you not be familiar with the road, I have been to this gymnasium a few times, and I have not been to the stadium once, and the toilet is a must every time.

Hikoichi is going to the toilet on the innermost side of the toilet.

"Boom, boom, boom...", footsteps, someone came in, and Hikoichi didn't care.

"The fourteenth in Xiangbei... Do you know? I heard that Mitsui Shou from Takeshi Middle School was the guy who won the title of the best athlete. ”

Well? This voice is...

"Well, I know..."

Sure enough, this voice is Hasegawa, and it was Shoichi Takano just now.

"Depending on where you are on the field, there's a good chance you'll have to be sent to keep an eye on him." Shoichi Takano said again.

"Well, I understand..."Hasegawa spoke a little to himself, as if he was thinking about something, "Actually, I played against him when I was in junior high school. Hasegawa still said what was in his heart.

"Huh?" Shoichi Takano really hadn't heard Hasegawa mention it, "Really? What do you think? ”

"At that time... I couldn't stop him at all, I thought he was too strong to be a junior high school student. ”

Shoichi Takano didn't expect such a story, "Is it... He's really good at shooting..."

Shoichi Takano is thinking about how to comfort Hasegawa, but he can't let Hasegawa still have a shadow of Mitsui Shou.

Unexpectedly, Hasegawa closed his eyes, hesitated for a while, and said: "However, Mitsui was at his peak at that time, and now, I'm afraid he won't have so much influence on the game anymore." ”

"Well, maybe it's because you've also improved, so your view is naturally different." Shoichi Takano said.

"Maybe......" Hasegawa's tone was still uncertain, as if he wanted to cheer himself up, "But, no matter what, I must keep his score within 5 points!" ”

"Well, please!"

"Wow! ~~" The sound of flushing water, they walked out.

Hasegawa isn't easy... Hikochi sighed in his heart.

"Bang!!" Suddenly, there was a loud noise, which startled Hiko.

"Who is it!!" This was followed by an angry roar, a familiar voice.

Someone kicked the door? Hikonichi finished flushing the water and turned around and came out of it to see what was going on.

The door to one of the cubicles was still dangling, and it was clear that it was the victim of the loud noise. At the door of the toilet, a person is looking out sideways with the door open.

Xiangbei team jersey... It's Mitsui Kotobuki! Hikoichi suddenly remembered that this was the plot from the manga! The conversation between the two just now was overheard by Mitsui, which provoked Mitsui's fighting spirit and, of course, anger.

Mitsui rushed to the door, only to see a green figure in the distance turning the corner, with a "6" printed on his back.

Xiangyang Team No. 6!

In fact, even if he saw the face, Mitsui Shou didn't know who it was, and he couldn't remember the confrontation with Hasegawa.

"Humph!" The nobody when he was in middle school, now that he has entered the Xiangyang team, there is no one in his eyes, if you have the ability, you can just try it! Mitsui Shou couldn't vent his anger, so he could only snort angrily.

"Ahem." A cough behind him interrupted Mitsui's thoughts.

"Huh?!" Mitsui turned around, and there was still someone in the toilet?

"Hello, Mitsui." Hiko-ichi greeted Mitsui to the end.

"You're... Last time..."Mitsui recognized Hikoichi's Ryonan jersey and remembered the face, but forgot Hikoichi's name, only remembering the last time this person came to look for Ayako outside the toilet.

"Hikoichi Aida." The idol doesn't remember himself anymore, and Hikoichi has no choice but to introduce himself again.

"Hmm..."Mitsui agreed, signaling that he understood, and then turned around to leave. He's angry now, and it's not bad to see anyone, it's good to be able to say yes.

"That...", Hikoichi still had words.

"Huh?" Mitsui stopped.

"Hmm... It's nothing, come on Xiangbei team! "Hikoichi was going to tell Mitsui about Hasegawa, but it's better to forget it.

It's not necessary, and isn't Mitsui, who doesn't admit defeat like this, the best state?

？！ Be all abroad! Mitsui couldn't figure out what Hikoichi was thinking, so he just left.

"That's right!" Who knew that Hikochi suddenly shouted.

"What the hell are you going to do!" Mitsui can't bear it, is there anything he can't say directly!

"You haven't washed your hands when you go to the toilet! Uh..."
