Black Basketball: A false start

Chapter 65 Akashi Seijuro’s Disaster
"Come on! Let's drink to celebrate Azhe's successful promotion to the Second Army!"

"cheers!"

After the training, the sound of people raising their glasses to celebrate could be heard in the Red Cat Noodle House.

"Thank you very much!" Kuroko Tetsuya put down his wine glass and looked at Kaneki Ken and the others in front of him, his face full of gratitude.

"Oh, I didn't even notice that this store has new barbecue items." Kuroko Tetsuya was full of gratitude, as if he was winking at Murasakibara Atsushi.

"Hey, Tetsu-kun, how do you feel about your first day in the Second Army?" Momoi Satsuki looked at Kuroko Tetsuya curiously.

"Well..." Speaking of joining the Second Army, Hei Zizhe was a little embarrassed. "The seniors in the Second Army are all very friendly and take good care of me... But, today... It doesn't matter. Maybe it's because I just joined the Second Army and need to adjust!"

"Boss, give me two servings of barbecue!" Murasakibara Atsushi's voice rang out.

"Oh, is Tetsu-kun unhappy today?" Taoi Satsuki looked at Kuroko Tetsuya who was speaking vaguely and was a little puzzled.

"No, it's just... I feel like I'm not that comfortable cooperating with the seniors from the Second Army..." Kuroko Zhe scratched his head in distress.

"Boss, give me two more skewers of yakitori!" Murasakibara Atsushi's voice came again.

"How could this happen, A-Zhe?" Aomine Daiki looked at Kuroko Tetsuya with some concern, "Did those guys from the Second Army deliberately isolate you?"

"That's not the case." Kuroko Tetsuya rejected it. "Everyone was quite caring towards me. Even when I was exhausted from training, they helped me finish the training... Everyone was quite friendly."

"Then is it that you are not familiar with the tactics of the Second Army?" Akashi Seijuro asked tentatively.

"That shouldn't be the case." Kuroko Tetsuya sighed and shook his head. "Before I joined the Second Army, I was already fully familiar with the Second Army's common tactics. Although I can't say that I can recite them by heart, at least I still remember some of the commonly used tactics."

"Boss, another serving..." Before Murasakibara Atsushi could finish his words this time, he was interrupted by Aomine Daiki's impatient voice.

"Hey, hey, hey, at least stop eating!" Qingfeng Daihui shouted, "You don't have that much to eat! Look, the plate in front of you is almost full!"

"Hey, Qingzi... I just wanted to ask if there is a screwdriver... I wanted to ask the boss to come and get me another screwdriver..." Murasakibara Atsushi looked at Aomine Daiki speechlessly.

"Yoshi, I basically understand it. Now, Kuroko, let me take this opportunity to solve your problem." Kaneki Kenichi slapped his thigh, "The screwdriver is right next to you, throw it to Murasakibara Atsushi."

"Oh, here, Murasakibara-kun, give it to me." Kuroko Tetsuya threw the screwdriver in his hand to Murasakibara Atsushi.

"Hey, thank you, Kuro-kun~" Murasakibara Atsushi stretched out his hands to catch the screwdriver, but the screwdriver hit his hands instead.

"Ah~ Damn, it hurts..." Murasakibara Atsushi rubbed his hand that was hit and complained, "Kuro-kun, you have to throw it more accurately!"

"Kuroko's throw just now was very accurate, Murasakibara." Before Kuroko Tetsuya could explain, Kaneki Ken said, "Actually, you reacted too quickly."

"Huh?" Murasakihara Atsushi was a little confused by Kaneki Ken's words, "If I had reacted quickly, shouldn't I have caught the screwdriver easily just now?"

"No, Murasakibara." Kaneki Ken took a sip of the soda, "Usually, the people around you are people like me or Aomine who have similar reflexes to you, so your body habitually reacts according to instinct when receiving things, but the things thrown by Kuroko are relatively slow~ So, this is why you got hit on the hand."

"Reaction...rhythm..." Kuroko Tetsuya thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized, "I see, I understand Kaneki-kun!" "Hey, what on earth did you understand?" Aomine Daiki looked at the two of them in confusion, "Can you guys not suddenly have an epiphany without saying anything! This will make me look stupid, you know?"

"So that's how it is. I understand now." Murasakibara Atsushi lowered his head and thought for a while, and then it suddenly became clear to him.

"Huh? Even Murasakibara you..." Aomine Daiki felt like he was stabbed in the back.

"So Qingzai is an idiot~ Ahem..." Murasakibara Atsushi complained while eating barbecue.

"Aomine-kun, this is the situation." Akashi Seijuro, who couldn't stand it any longer, stood up and said, "Tetsuya has just been promoted from the third army to the second army, so the speed and rhythm of his passes are all in line with the speed and rhythm of the third army, but the speed and rhythm of the second army are obviously higher than that of the third army. This is why Kuroko clearly feels that he has not made any tactical mistakes, but he has never been able to form a good tacit understanding with the members of the second army."

"Oh, so that's how it is. I totally understand." Aomine Daiki said while scratching the back of his head with a smile.

"Hey, Mina-san." Tao Jing Satsuki looked at the excited people in front of her and took out a promotional poster from her bag with a smile, "The school's animation club is going to hold a social event with us, and requires two of us to represent them and cosplay as anime characters. Does anyone want to sign up?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly participate in such an event?" Aomine Daiki refused.

"What about Ken-kun? Are you interested?" Momoi Satsuki looked at Kaneki Ken with anticipation.

"Well..." Kaneki Ken wanted to refuse directly, but seeing the full look in Taoi Satsuki's eyes, he changed his words, "I'm fine with anything, if Satsuki insists."

"Thank you so much~" Momoi Satsuki hugged Kaneki Ken excitedly and glanced at the others present, "What about you? Is there anyone else willing to sign up?"

"No." Midorima Shintaro said with indifference.

"What a hassle." Murasakibara Atsushi looked reluctant.

"...Looks like I have to go even if I don't want to." Akashi Seijuro pointed at himself helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, then count me in!"

"Yeah! Long live Akashi-kun!" Momoi Satsuki jumped up happily.

……

"Damn it, I got fooled, I shouldn't have come."

Kaneki Ken and Akashi Seijuro stood opposite each other and fell into silence as they looked at the results of Momoi Satsuki's careful dressing up.

"You must never let anyone else know." Kaneki Ken looked at Akashi Seijuro dangerously.

"I'd rather die than do that." Akashi Seijuro responded with a firm look in his eyes.

"But..." Kaneki Ken touched the two little tufts on Akashi Seijuro's forehead, "How are these two little tufts made? Are they lollipops?"

"Nishinai! Kaneki Ken!" Akashi Seijuro went berserk for the first time in his life.
