On the edge of the court, Hikaru Haneda sat on the ground with his hands behind his back, his eyes staring straight at the basket. This is the first sight that Kazushi Hasegawa saw after he arrived.

Murakami and Mitobe were playing on the court, and Kazushi Hasegawa looked around and found no trace of Mitsui Shou. Is it a prank? Hasegawa thought to himself, but the tone of Yamato-senpai when he called him wasn't like it, and Yamato-senpai didn't look like someone who would prank himself, what the hell was going on? Hasegawa was a little confused.

Could it be that Haneda lost? Hasegawa Kazushi flashed a possibility in his heart, but it wasn't like ah, according to what he knew about his friend, Hikaru Haneda would definitely not have such a reaction after losing, but Haneda's face did not have the slightest joy after winning. Hasegawa Kazushi, who didn't know how to speak for a while, could only stand silently next to Haneda.

In the end, it was Hikaru Haneda who noticed Hasegawa Kazushi's arrival, retracted his dull gaze, and took the lead in breaking the silence, "Yo, why are you here?" Oh! It was Yamato-senpai who called you. ”

Looking at Hikaru Haneda's calm expression, Hasegawa Kazushi couldn't help but be stunned, thought for a while, and then said, "Hmm, yes, listen to Yamato-senpai, saying that you are here to face up to Mitsui Shou?" ”

Speaking of this, Hasegawa Kazushi glanced at Hikaru Haneda's unchanged face again, paused and continued, "But since it's Hikatsu, it should be fine!" ”

"Well, I won." Hikaru Haneda didn't wait for Hasegawa to finish speaking, but Hikaru Haneda's tone lacked any joy, but made people feel very unmotivated after listening to it.

Kazushi Hasegawa was also choked up by Hikaru Haneda's flat tone, did this tone win or lose?

Without waiting for Hasegawa to continue asking, "I'm a little tired, wait for you to tell them, I'll go back first." Hikaru Haneda suddenly stood up and patted the dust off his body.

"That's right" Hikaru Haneda, who had walked a few steps, suddenly stopped and turned to look at Kazushi Hasegawa.

"Huh?" Kazushi Hasegawa still hadn't figured it out, and looked a little absent-minded.

"Aren't you cold?"

"Forget it, then, I'll get it for you another day." Hikaru Haneda said as he took off his coat, folded it in half, and threw it at Hasegawa.

"Oh! Oh..."Kazushi Hasegawa, who was in a state of distraction, hurriedly caught it, and by the time he put on his coat, Hikaru Haneda had already walked away in the cold wind.

This guy, are you okay? Although he had considered many possibilities on the way here, the appearance of his friends still made Hasegawa feel very worried, and he could only wait for Yamato seniors to finish this game before asking them, Hasegawa Kazushi thought in his head.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the game between Mito and Murakami and others to end, and after Hasegawa Kazushi found Yamato, who usually had a good relationship with him, he asked straight to the point, "Yamato senior, is Haneda okay?" How do you feel so lost? Didn't you say you won? Did you win? Thinking of Haneda's reaction before leaving, Hasegawa's words did not seem very confident.

Yamato picked up his towel and wiped his sweat, smiled and said, "Don't worry, Haneda-san, he did win." ”

"Then why did Ah Guang react like that? It looks like, like it didn't win, what the hell is going on here? Although Yamato's answer dispelled Hasegawa's doubts, it still failed to explain the change in Hikaru Haneda, so Hasegawa asked again.

"Ahh Hahaha, I'll tell you, ahahaha~~" Murakami on the side also heard Hasegawa Kazushi's question, and took the initiative to speak, but suddenly laughed halfway through.

"......" had no choice but to look at Yamato for help.

"I'll explain." The Mito department screws on the lid of the cup.

At this moment, in a corner of the city, in a fast food restaurant, Mitsui Shou was facing a large plate of food in front of him, gulping non-stop, and his companions were also looking at it with a worried face.

Finally, one of them couldn't help but persuade, "Mitsui, don't be too upset, their rules are obviously aimed at you." ”

The others looked at each other and spoke up to persuade each other.

"Yes! Little San, if in the game, everyone has an upright duel, the loser must be that kid. ”

"It's just a temporary win or loss, junior, you won't be able to afford to lose, right..."

Although his companions were all talking to persuade him, Mitsui Shou continued to eat as if he hadn't heard, and the full food on the plate disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Ahh - Finally full! Hiccup—" The well-fed Mitsui Shou stretched back with a satisfied expression.

"Hey, junior, are you really okay?"

"Don't worry, hey! What kind of expressions do you have! I, Mitsui Shou, am not that fragile person. Mitsui Shou looked at his companions on the left and right with worried expressions on their faces, and explained loudly.

"Hehe~" Halfway through the explanation, Mitsui Shou suddenly laughed, "Moreover, I also want to thank that Hikaru Haneda." ”

"Huh? Thank? Why thank that guy? The friends asked in unison.

"If it weren't for that guy, I'm afraid even I wouldn't know that I was so capable, haha, I'm really a genius at Mitsui Shou~" Mitsui Shou looked at his hands, slender and powerful fingers, and flexible wrists, which were combined to produce an incomparable soft feel, which is my Mitsui Shou's greatest reliance.

If there is another group of teammates who can block for themselves, there is an interior player who can guarantee rebounds for themselves. Hikaru Haneda, I'm not as good as you one-on-one, but don't forget, basketball is a five-person sport! Mitsui Shou thought silently in his heart.

On the other side of the city, Hikaru Haneda, who was walking alone on the street, looked melancholy, and was thinking about similar questions to Mitsui.

In that duel with Mitsui Kotobuki, Hikaru Haneda missed the last ball. Haneda, who felt that the victory was in his hands, felt a little regretful in his heart, but more of an expectation - can he prevent Mitsui Shou's attack?

The answer is no suspense, not only in terms of physical fitness, Haneda Hikaru is better than Mitsui, but also has far more playing experience than Mitsui Shou, so Mitsui Shou has never been able to get rid of Haneda's defense.

All kinds of feints can't deceive even half of his body, and Mitsui Shou can only give up the breakthrough, after all, he only has one chance. Mitsui Shou, who had the will to break the cauldron and sink the boat, made an amazing move.

“… That's the way it is, now you know why Haneda stinks. Mito explained to Kazushi Hasegawa.

"Ahahahaha, although I witnessed the whole process with my own eyes, I still think it's funny to listen to it again. Haneda, that guy in Haneda was actually hit eight goals head-on, hahaha~ a whole eight balls, that guy in Haneda didn't have any way at all, it's so funny, hahaha~~" Murakami on the side laughed even harder.

Mitobe squinted his eyes and glanced at the heartless Murakami, and suddenly felt that his brain was really a good thing. Of course, luck may have taken up part of it, but that kid named Mitsui Shou can pitch at the front and Haneda has no temper at all, and this strength is not something that comes casually. Once you hit the ball, you can't stop, and the more you throw, the more courageous you become, as long as the opponent doesn't touch the ball, you can almost ignore the interference caused by the defense. Thinking about it, Mito felt like his goosebumps were about to stand up.

Hasegawa Kazushi had another thought in his heart: If this is the case, Ah Hikari shouldn't have that kind of expression! There must be something else that Mito's predecessors didn't notice, Hasegawa firmly believes.

Hikaru Haneda, who has read the original book, naturally knows that Mitsui Shou, who is a member of the protagonist team, is in the team, but there are two big rebounding demons of Akagi and Sakuragi, plus a body that may be stronger than his current Rukawa Kaede.

The road is long, and Hikaru Haneda feels that his basketball future is big, and he can't eat it!
