Bang! Bang!

On the basketball court, the game is fierce.

"Naruse!"

Catching a basketball from a teammate, Naruse chose to break through from the right flank, but met with quite tough resistance.

The opponent's defense was unusually strong, he couldn't break through, and there was no chance to shoot, so he could only pass the basketball to Kobayashi Masa.

"Kobayashi!"

Kobayashi was receiving the ball and dribbled a few steps forward, and when he saw the opponent's defense line moving towards his side, he subconsciously glanced at Naruse again.

It seems that there is a chance......

Doing a feint to shoot, he passed the basketball to Naruse with his backhand, who Cheng thought that a hand suddenly reached from the side, snatched the ball, and then ran towards the basket on the other side.

Bang! Bang!

The opposing player's dribble after getting the ball, and Naruse and the others immediately rushed back to defend, but it was too late.

The flying basketball falls straight down to secure the crucial three-pointer for the bowler.

“……”

Looking at the bouncing basketball on the ground, Naruse gasped and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Take a break." Another boy from Class A said that the others had no opinion, and they went to the sidelines to drink water.

"That ball just now can actually be passed to An Tang." Naruse said.

Xiao Lin opened his mouth, wanted to say something, swallowed again, and just nodded.

"You don't want to say that you can't pass it on to me."

"You said it yourself."

"You ...... guy"

Naruse also smiled.

"An Tang's position just now, I think the opportunity is quite big."

"Subconsciously, I want to pass it on to Naruse." Kobayashi said.

"I know how it feels."

The first to echo him was Antang, who was "disliked" by him just now, "As soon as I got the ball, I felt that I didn't have a chance, so I wanted to pass it to Naruse." ”

"That's right, Naruse is our light."

"It's the only hope for Class A."

"Alright, alright...... I'm going to drink saliva. ”

Naruse walked to the sidelines, picked up a glass of water and took a sip.

It's school day, and you can see practice everywhere in the gymnasium.

All are second-year students.

Today it was the turn of the second grade to use the gymnasium, and the other two grades could only train outside on the playground.

"Light!"

Naruse followed the prestige, and on another basketball court, Hikaru Takikawa's vigorous figure was dribbling and running.

The opposing defender intercepted it head-on, and she jumped up directly on the spot and threw the basketball in her hand.

Boom!

The basketball smashed the board, spun around on the hoop, and fell into the net.

"Entered!"

Naruse smiled at the same time as Hikaru Takikawa over there.

There was no training for the girls' basketball club today, so she came to help, and she was playing against them on the girls' basketball team of a certain class in the third grade.

He looked to the other side of the gymnasium, on the volleyball court, where Naoko and Starfish were also practicing.

“……”

After looking at it for a moment, he looked away.

Because his girlfriend is in the team over there, he can't give any objective evaluation.

"The future is promising......"

The short break was over quickly.

"Naruse, keep practicing."

"Here we are."

He practiced until about five o'clock in the afternoon, when Naruse rested again.

By this time, the gymnasium was no longer as lively as it had just been.

"That's all for today."

"It's only five o'clock?"

"Scattered, scattered......"

Naoko and Starfish had already dispersed half an hour ago, and the women's basketball team on the court next to them also left earlier than them.

Naruse came to the sidelines and took a sip of water, sat down again, and didn't rush back.

The four boys in the same class did not leave, and sat directly on the floor.

"Even if I count physical education classes, I can practice seven or eight times a week, but I still don't think it's enough...... There are less than two weeks left. ”

"Do you still want to win the championship?"

"There will be a lot of girls coming to see it, do you want to be eliminated?"

"The girls are all here to see Naruse."

"Then I'll pass a few more balls to Naruse, and I should pay a little attention to me."

"Then I'll only pass the ball to Naruse."

“……”

Naruse turned his head to look at them, and didn't bother to bother.

After sitting and resting for a while, several people got up and left the gymnasium to change their clothes.

"Let's go home and take a shower."

"See you tomorrow."

Separated from a few teammates, Naruse walked to the annex.

After playing volleyball, Naoko went to the club again, and there was still a while before he went home, and he was going to wait in the department.

When he came to the door of the department of the restoration department on the fourth floor, he took out the key and was about to open the door, when suddenly there was a sound of "the door is not locked" from inside.

“……”

He raised his hand and pulled, and sure enough, the door opened.

"Where did you get the key?"

"Go and ask for it from the management teacher."

Morimi sat alone in the ministry with a book in front of him, "I'll have to return it later." ”

"Why don't you ask me."

Naruse walked into the department and sat down closest to the door.

"I didn't plan to come here." Morimi said, "When I thought about it, you had already gone to the gym to train. I was watching you play for a while next to the basketball court, did you notice? ”

"See."

Her face turned cold, "I didn't go at all." ”

"Oh, that's wrong."

"Lies are repeated."

"You're embarrassed to talk about me."

Naruse took out the book he had borrowed the other day from his schoolbag and flipped through it.

Morimi looked at him for a moment, "What are you doing sitting so far away?" ”

He didn't speak, he didn't seem to hear.

She got up and sat down.

"What are you doing here?"

"Read a book."

Morimi sat down, opened the book in his hand, and turned to a certain page to stop.

The two sat peacefully for a while.

"It's all the smell of sweat."

"The sweat is dry, and the smell is not so heavy."

"But I can still smell it."

"Then don't sit here."

With one hand on his head, Mori didn't move.

"Naoko and Starfish also went to the gymnasium to practice volleyball today."

"Hmm. Did you see that? ”

"I've said I'm over."

Naruse glanced at her, "Do you have a word of truth in your mouth?" ”

"Yes."

Morimi suddenly moved closer, and his eyes circled his face.

"Guess what I'm trying to say."

"It's all the smell of sweat."

She deliberately hooked the corners of her mouth, "Guessed right." ”

Naruse got up and sat down in the back row.

Holding his head, Morimi turned his head to look at him for a moment, and then continued to read the book absentmindedly.

After a while, Naruse in the back took the initiative to speak.

"Hikari said she was going home, do you want to come with her?"

Morimi put down the book and didn't look back, "Hasn't she gone back yet?" ”

"Coffee outside."

"Where's the starfish?"

"I don't know, I'm not with her - I'll do it for you?"

Morimi sighed.

"Okay."

She turned around, "Didn't Naruse get his driver's license last weekend, when are you going to buy a motorcycle?" ”

"I've bought it."

"When?"

"After taking the driver's license test a few days ago, I went to the store with Hikari to order a car." Naruse said, "Didn't you tell you? ”

"Nope."

Morimi stood up, "What about your car." ”

"It's not like you can pick up the car immediately after you book it, you have to wait about two weeks."

"How long do you have to wait to buy a motorcycle?"

"Well, it's a new car, after all."

"How much?"

"Hmm...... A price that makes Naoko talk about it as soon as she is free lately. ”

She smiled.

"In two weeks, you won't be able to get the car until the end of this month?"

Naruse nodded.

"It's a shame......"

Morimi stretched for a long time, lowered his arm, and picked up the book on the table and gave it to him.

"Let's see, it's interesting."

Naruse took her book and flipped through it casually, "Really." ”

"It's about a ......"

"Hikari is still waiting for you downstairs."

“……”

She pursed her mouth, snatched the book from his hand, picked up her schoolbag and left.

Naruse shook his head, picked up his book and read it again.

Buzz –

A few minutes later, he received a message from Hikaru Takikawa.

Hikari: Kazuha doesn't seem to be very happy.

Naruse: Really.

Light: Look.

Light: [Picture]

“……”

Looking at the grimace of Morimi in the photo, Naruse smiled dumbly.

"—what is Harumi laughing at?"

He casually closed the screen, looked at his girlfriend who appeared at the door of the ministry, and picked up the book again.

"Nothing, I saw something interesting. Is Naoko's side over? ”

"Uh-huh."

He put away his phone and put away his book.

"Let's go home."
