Black Basketball: A false start

Chapter 56 Ghost-catching operation
"The seniors went to the gym to catch someone as planned at night, but when they turned on the lights, there was no one in the gym! There was only a basketball bouncing on the ground!" Taoi Satsuki described it vividly, as if she was there at the time.

"This is nonsense. How can there be ghosts in a place like a basketball stadium?" Qingfeng Daihui played with the basketball in his hand speechlessly. "If there really are ghosts, a ghost who likes to play basketball must be a good ghost and will not harm people."

"... Aomine-san's evaluation criteria are really simple and direct..." Kaneki Ken looked at Aomine Daiki with a smile on his face, "Although the ghost story is definitely fake, it's better not to act rashly. It's better to talk to the coach. I guess some member of the second or third army might be secretly training extra."

"Huh~ I didn't expect our Teiko Lion to be afraid of ghosts!" Aomine Daiki smirked, "If there really is a ghost who likes to play basketball, I really wouldn't mind playing a game with him."

"Okay, stop talking. If you keep talking, you'll be late for class." Kaneki Ken felt a little speechless when he saw Aomine Daiki's expectant expression. "I don't know about other things, but if Aomine you're late again, I guarantee that your instructor will be scarier than a ghost..."

"Damn it, I forgot about this." Qingfeng Daihui then remembered that he came to school to attend classes. Without even saying goodbye, he ran to the classroom.

"Oh, A-Da, he's still like a little child." Taoi Satsuki sighed as she looked at Aomine Daiki's back.

"A sincere heart cannot be extinguished, and Qingfeng is doing well." Kaneki Ken did not comment, "Let's accompany him to the second hall tonight. This basketball idiot, no matter how much we try to dissuade him, he will definitely go to find out what's going on."

"I don't know what's going on, Ken-kun, I always feel like you know everything." Taoi Satsuki looked at Kaneki Ken suspiciously, "Are you hiding something from me?"

"No way, I'm not a god." Kaneki Ken certainly couldn't tell Momoi Satsuki that he knew everything about this matter, so he could only smile and touch Momoi Satsuki's head and said perfunctorily, "Okay, hurry up and go to the classroom, otherwise you will be late."

"Yeah." Taoi Satsuki did not doubt him and nodded obediently, waved goodbye to Kaneki Ken and walked into the classroom.

"Hey, Ken, you're here so late today, which is unusual." Murasakihara Atsushi looked up at Kaneki Ken while eating potato chips, and took out a rice bran roll from his schoolbag with some hesitation, "You came so late, you must have missed breakfast, right? Here you go, but only this one..."

"You are really considerate, Murasakibara." Kaneki Ken smiled and pushed away the rice bran roll in Murasakibara Atsushi's hand, "But no need, I ate it when I came here this morning."

"Oh." Murasakibara Atsushi took back the rice bran roll and continued reading the comics.

"Have you ever heard of the legend of the campus basketball team?" Kaneki Ken smiled and said to Murasakihara Atsushi, "It is said that Basketball Hall No. 2 is haunted late at night!
"What? Haunted?" Murasakihara Atsushi stared at Kaneki Ken blankly, "Yanzi, have you been infected by Aoki and become stupid... I told you not to play with Aoki a long time ago, but you even believed such a thing."

"You don't believe it?" Kaneki Ken was a little surprised. He didn't expect that although Murasakibara Atsushi was a simpleton, he was not easy to deceive. "But the managers of the basketball team said it with certainty. Aomine said he was going to catch ghosts tonight."

"Ha~ uh..." Murasakibara Atsushi stretched out his body, "It's normal for that idiot to believe what a little girl said. I'll sleep for a while, Yanzi, the teacher will come and call me later."

"What? I didn't expect you to be a coward! Murasakibara." Kaneki Ken raised his eyebrows, "You said you don't believe in ghosts, but you are afraid, right? In comparison, although Aomine-san is a little reckless, he is very brave~"

"Tsk, I'm not a coward. I'm just not as stupid as Qingzai." Murasakihara Atsushi got a little angry when he heard Kaneki Ken's sarcastic words, "Isn't it just going to the No. 2 building alone at night? I dare to go."

"Oh?" Kaneki Ken looked at Murasakihara Atsushi with pretended suspicion, "Don't force yourself, Murasakihara!"

"Not at all! I'll go with Yanzi in the evening!" Murasakibara Atsushi said angrily.

"Little naive guy, you can do it~" Kaneki Ken smiled proudly, and in his heart he made a gesture of losing the Korean market.

"Class!" Just when Kaneki Ken wanted to say something else, the teacher strode onto the podium, interrupting his thoughts.

...In the evening, Teiko Junior High School basketball team.

"Goodbye, coach!" After completing the training, everyone said goodbye to the coach and went to the locker room to pack up and prepare to leave.

"Kaneki, do you want to come with me for a while?" Aomine Daiki came to Kaneki Ken excitedly.

"What are you doing together, Aomine?" Nijimura Shuzo asked curiously, "Don't take Kaneki to do anything weird."

"No way, Captain, am I that kind of person in your mind?" Aomine Daiki complained dissatisfiedly.

"Come to think of it, I think I saw Qingzi secretly looking at Mai-chan's photo." Murasakibara Atsushi muttered to the side, "It seemed quite strange."

"Murasakibara!" Aomine Daiki turned red again.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing." Kaneki Ken interrupted the two with a smile, "Aomine I won't go with you, I'm going to read comics with Murasakibara tonight."

"Huh?" Murasakihara Atsushi and Momoi Satsuki were interrupted by Kaneki Ken's next words before they could react.

"May will be here too. Murasakibara recently bought a new comic book, which is quite good." Kaneki Ken turned his head and looked at the two of them, "Right, Murasakibara, May?"

"Ah? Oh, yes." Tao Jing Satsuki immediately responded, "Kozuki, Ken-kun and I have already made an appointment."

"Okay, then I'll go alone." Aomine Daiki didn't care that there was anything wrong and left the training hall excitedly.

"Yanzi, didn't we say we would go to Hall No. 2 to catch ghosts at night?" Murasakibara Atsushi asked curiously.

"What's the point of catching ghosts? Just leave it to Aomine. We have more important things to do." Kaneki Ken said with a smirk, "You should know that Aomine is actually afraid of ghosts."

"Huh? Then why is he still catching ghosts?" Murasakibara Atsushi scratched his cheek, somewhat puzzled.

"So, we have to quietly follow him, and when he is scared like a grandson, we can take a picture of him." Kaneki Ken explained, "By then, we will have to make a potato chip comic or something~"

"Hey, Ken-kun, you are so mean..." Taoi Satsuki looked at Kaneki Ken with a reproachful look, "Count me in."

"Well, if that's the case, I want to go too." Murasakibara Atsushi also became a little excited.

……

"Really? I was so careless." Under the dim moonlight, Qingfeng Daihui was walking alone on the road to Pavilion No. 2 with a flashlight, muttering to himself, "This damn place is too remote. I've been walking for so long and still haven't arrived!"
