Originally, Kuroko and the others planned to wait for the New Year to come, and the six of them went to the temple to listen to the bells together. But Kuroko's parents couldn't go back to Japan for the New Year because of work, and they didn't want Kuroko to spend the New Year alone, so they decided to take Kuroko to the United States for a family reunion. And Akaji couldn't go because the family had a drinking party that day, and the rest of them didn't go to the temple together to listen to the bells in the end, so they still spent their lives with their families as in previous years.

When Kuroko and her mother finally set foot on American soil after taking a plane for more than ten hours, the exit of the airport was crowded with people, and at a glance, it was full of tall, blonde foreigners. Because her father was busy with work, Kuroko and her mother got their luggage and took a taxi directly to their place of residence. It wasn't until the evening that Kuroko saw his father, and the family went to dinner at a restaurant outside.

Originally, Kuroko's parents planned to go out with Kuroko for a few days, but because the company had something to arrange for it temporarily, after going out to play with Kuroko for a day, they let Kuroko stay at home alone, and asked Kuroko not to go out at will, for fear that there would be an accident if he was not familiar with life here. Actually, Kuroko himself doesn't care, after all, his parents have been in the United States for a long time, and he spends most of his time alone in Japan, and he has long learned to live independently.

Stayed at home for two days, never went out, although the sunspot is more homely, but after a long time, I still want to go out to breathe, so I took the money given to him by his parents and went to the restaurant outside for lunch. On the way home, I remembered that there were people playing in the basketball court of the community I saw when I went out before, so I planned to go over and have a look.

Standing next to the basketball court, Kuroko saw eight or nine boys with a figure of one meter seven or eight playing basketball in the field, thinking that all they saw were foreigners, but they found that there were two Asian boys, one of whom had short crimson hair, which was extremely dazzling in the crowd, exuding the same edge as Aomine.

Just as Kuroko looked at the figure in the court and thought, the basketball suddenly came towards his position, and everyone in the court looked in the direction of Kuroko, only to find that there were still people there, so they hurriedly shouted in English "Get out of the way!" Some people immediately ran in the direction of Kuroko, trying to stop the basketball, and the Asian boy with dark red hair rushed to the front. When the basketball was about to hit Kuroko's head, perhaps out of the keen sense of playing basketball, although Kuroko had not yet recovered from his thoughts, he had already reflexively caught the basketball above his head with his hand, and then looked at the basketball in his hand in surprise.

The others were stunned for a moment by this change, but they also reacted quickly, and breathed a sigh of surprise at the same time, after all, the blue-haired Asian boy in front of him looked very weak, and if the ball just now really hit him, it is estimated that it will be very serious! The crimson-haired boy who was running at the front was also relieved when he saw Kuroko catch the ball, and at the same time showed him a big grin, and said in English, "I'm sorry just now, I almost hit you, but we really didn't notice that there was anyone here." "

Kuroko understood that it was because of his low sense of existence, so they didn't notice him, thinking of this, Kuroko suddenly found that it seemed that since he became acquainted with Aomine and a few people, this feeling of weak presence had not appeared for a long time, because when he was with them, those people could always notice his existence at a glance. Kuroko was so immersed in his own thoughts that he forgot to reply to the other party's words for a while. The boy looked at Kuroko holding the ball silently, thinking that he was frightened, and asked in a tentative tone, "Are you okay?" "

Kuroko came back to her senses at this time, and reflexively replied in Japanese, "It's okay!" But I suddenly remembered that I was abroad, and the other party spoke English, so I quickly said it again in English. When the boy on the other side heard Kuroko speak Japanese, he couldn't help but get a little excited, and asked in Japanese, which he didn't know very well, "Are you also Japanese?" "

Kuroko didn't expect to meet someone from his own country when he came out, and he couldn't help but feel like he had met an old acquaintance in a foreign country, and he was very happy, and said in Japanese with an excited tone: "Yes, it's nice to meet you, I'm Kuroko Tetsuya." "

After hearing this, the young man introduced himself with a smile: "Hello, I am the Vulcan Big Me!" Then he turned his head and pointed to another black-haired Asian teenager and continued, "He's Tatsuya Himuro, who is also Japanese, and is a good friend of mine. "

Kuroko looked at the person pointed by the god of fire, slightly shorter than the god of fire, but also very tall, smiling cheeks with a little childishness, but it is not difficult to see that it is a beautiful man, and the tear mole under his right eye is a touch of charm for him. On the other hand, the god of fire, his face is angular and angular, and his face should make people feel serious, but because of his hearty smile, it makes people feel more cordial, and his hair is not all crimson, but it is interspersed with a little black hair, but there is too little black hair, so people think that his hair is all crimson, and the most interesting thing is that the eyebrows of the god of fire are split eyebrows. Kuroko looked at Vulcan's eyebrows, although he thought it was a little funny, but for him, who was good at hiding his emotions, there was no trace of wanting to laugh because of this.

After the introduction of the three people, it is equivalent to a simple acquaintance, Vulcan took the ball and was about to go back to continue playing, but Kuroko stopped Vulcan, Kuroko thought that after he came to the United States, he had not played basketball, and when he just watched them play basketball, his heart was already full of enthusiasm, and after getting basketball, he had the urge to play ball. But he wasn't very familiar with the other party, so after calling the god of fire, Kuroko didn't know how to speak, and after hesitating for a while, under the puzzled gaze of the god of fire, he lowered his head and slowly spoke: "That, can I join you to play together?" I love basketball. "

Vulcan looked at the sunspot in front of him in surprise, short in stature, thin in body, ordinary in appearance, except for the blue hair and clear blue eyes, there are other eye-catching places all over the body, I didn't expect him to like basketball, but in terms of his size, playing basketball is still a bit far-fetched, after all, the height of playing basketball here is at least one meter seven or eight. Somehow, it should have been refused. However, the Vulcan looked at the sunspot with his head bowed in front of him, but he felt that he couldn't refuse. Vulcan thought that this was just an ordinary game, not a game, and that there was no need to worry about him and the ice room, so he agreed to Kuroko's request.

The others were very surprised that Kuroko wanted to play with them, because it was not that they looked down on Kuroko, but that Kuroko was too weak for them, but since Vulcan and Ice House agreed, they didn't particularly object. It just so happened that the addition of Kuroko divided them into two groups to fight. Kuroko is naturally in a group with the god of fire, the ice room, and the other two. Originally, everyone didn't take Kuroko seriously, but after Kuroko continued to show his amazing passes, he couldn't help but admire him more and more. However, in the later time, they also found out that Kuroko's shooting and dribbling were really not ordinarily bad, but this did not hinder everyone's opinion of him.

This day was the happiest day since Kuroko came to the United States, not only playing basketball, but also meeting two friends. Don't wonder how Kuroko took the initiative to make friends, because as before, he was still the passive side. After seeing Kuroko's basketball, Vulcan couldn't help but be full of interest in him, and after playing basketball, he kept pestering Kuroko to ask questions, and finally left Kuroko's phone.

Since then, Vulcan has often taken the ice room to play basketball or hang out with Kuroko, and the three of them have become more and more familiar. Vulcan once took Kuroko and the ice house to his house and made them dinner, and the ice room was used to it, so there was no fuss. On the contrary, Kuroko was very surprised, because he often lived alone, and the fire god who was as big as him not only knew how to cook, but also made delicious food, while he could only make boiled eggs, but Kuroko didn't think about making any changes, because he really didn't like to cook. It can be said that Vulcan's cooking skills completely conquered Kuroko's stomach, and in the second half of New York, when his parents were not at home, Kuroko almost always went to Vulcan's house to eat.
