Juri Ueno from Kuroko's Basketball

Chapter 15 The King of Kings—Touou

Tonghuang High School.

Building A, the teaching building.

roof.

Seeing Aomine lounging lazily in the sun, Momoi, who had just arrived on the balcony, frowned and felt a little worried. After thinking for a moment, she walked over to him.

"Ada!"

With his eyes closed, Aomine lay on the balcony enjoying the sunshine, and when Momoi called out to him, he simply responded lazily.

"Hmm~"

Looking at the lazy Aomine, Momoi sighed helplessly, straightened her skirt, and sat down next to Aomine.

"The day after tomorrow is the day after tomorrow, we'll be playing a friendly match against the University of Tokyo."

"casual."

Seeing Aomine's lazy state, Momoi was very worried about him, but when she thought about the basketball game the day after tomorrow, she couldn't help but think of someone, and a smile appeared on her lips.

"Hey, do you know about Tokyo University?"

Upon hearing this, Aomine rolled over, rested his head on his arm, turned his back to Momoi, yawned lazily, and continued to bask in the sun with his eyes closed.

"Tokyo University? I don't know."

"Juri Ueno is at the University of Tokyo!"

"Oh!"

Qingfeng gave a casual reply and then fell silent.

Looking at Aomine lying to the side, Momoi sighed helplessly, then sat down quietly, watching the white clouds drifting in the sky, her eyes filled with thoughts, lost in thought.

Aomine, who had his back to Momoi, suddenly turned sharp with a lazy look when he heard Ueno Juri's name, and thought to himself.

"You actually went to the University of Tokyo, that's interesting."

...............

Touou Basketball Court.

While practicing his shooting, Touou basketball team captain Imayoshi Shoichi recalled Momoi's words from earlier.

Just over ten minutes ago, Momoi suddenly found him.

I hope to play a friendly match against a university called Tokyo University before the summer season.

This puzzled him somewhat. However, Momoi was, after all, the intern manager of the Touou High School basketball team, so it wouldn't be good to refuse directly, but it would be even worse to agree directly, since they were one of the top four high schools.

We can't just ask any university to play friendly matches with us.

Looking at Momoi, Shoichi raised his hand to push up his glasses, somewhat puzzled.

"why?"

Momoi was a little nervous, but thinking of Aomine's condition, she suppressed her nervousness and unease and spoke to Shoichi.

"Because a very strong person went to the University of Tokyo this year."

A cold glint flashed across the lenses of his glasses, and Xiangyi became somewhat curious.

"Strong?"

"Yes, even Aomine wouldn't be a match for that person in a head-on confrontation."

In order to restore Aomine to his previous state, Momoi exaggerated a bit.

"You mean Ueno Juri?"

Upon hearing this, Momoi paused for a moment, then looked at Shoichi with some surprise and asked, "Captain, you know?"

Nodding, Xiangyi raised his hand to push up his glasses and said with a smile, "I was there at the competition that day, I'll talk to the coach."

"Thank you, Captain."

Momoi bowed deeply to Shoichi with great gratitude and then left happily.

Watching Momoi leave, Shoichi pondered for a moment.

At this time, the coach should be in the basketball club studying tactics, right?

He also knew about that guy named Ueno Juri.

I also heard that the coach invited them, but they declined.

With his thoughts returning to normal, he shot two more balls, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then turned and walked towards the basketball club.

To be honest, he was also very curious about just how strong that guy named Ueno Juri really was.

If possible, he also hopes to have a friendly match with the opponent before the summer season.

aside.

Sakurai Ryo, who was practicing his shooting, glanced at Captain Shoichi with some surprise, wondering who Ueno Juri, whom Momoi had mentioned earlier, was. Even Aomine was no match for him.

Although he was curious, his introverted personality prevented him from asking, and he continued to shoot hoops in silence.

However, Kosuke Wakamatsu, wiping the sweat from his brow, walked over and, watching his captain's retreating figure, asked Yoshimi Sakurai curiously, "Yoshimi, who is this Ueno Juri that the captain mentioned?"

He had overheard Momoi's conversation with the captain earlier.

However, with the captain present, he couldn't ask too many questions.

Although the captain seemed quite kind, with a smiling face.

However, Kosuke knew very well that the other party was definitely a cunning and ruthless guy.

Upon hearing this, Sakurai Ryo, who was shooting a basket, quickly stood up straight and said to Kosuke somewhat nervously, "I'm sorry, I... I don't know either."

Seeing the nervous Sakurai Ryo, Kosuke couldn't help but give a helpless wry smile; "Ryo, there's no need to apologize. If you don't know, you don't know."

"Yes Yes."

Looking at the introverted and gentle A-liang, Kōsuke couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

He was very worried about the other person's personality.

However, he had absolute faith in the opponent's three-pointers.

Just as the two were talking, Yoshinobu Susa walked over from the side.

“Ueno Juri, this guy is the only one who managed to score points against those monsters from the Generation of Miracles.”

After hearing what Yoshinori Susa said, both Kousuke and Ara were shocked.

"This guy is a monster!"

The Age of Miracles—anyone who plays basketball knows what that is.

A team made up of monsters.

Each one is a genius that only appears once in ten years.

Moreover, it was a "dynasty" within the country.

Putting everything else aside, Qingfeng picked them out on his very first day here.

Because Qingfeng and Xiangyi made a request: if he wants to train, he can train; if he doesn't want to train, they can't interfere.

In response, Xiangyi said that as long as you are an ace, this privilege can be given to you.

Then the bullfight began, and Qingfeng won.

From that day on, they truly realized the power of the Age of Miracles.

There are also four guys like Aomine. With a team like that, who could beat them? Scoring points would be incredible.

But there were some people who not only scored against them, but also managed to score against monsters like Aomine and Murasakibara.

"Looks like the friendly match the day after tomorrow will be quite fun."

Tokyo University High School.

Commercial street in Zone B.

Seeing that Kurumaya Sora always had to take a detour to get home, Ueno couldn't help but look across the street.

That is Tokyo’s largest cancer hospital.

Mingming's home is in the direction of commercial street A, but Tiantian has to take a detour from commercial street B.

Watching Kurumi Sora, who was secretly glancing at the hospital every now and then, yet pretending not to be looking.

Ueno chatted with Kurumaya Sora the whole way, unaware of how many times the other person's mind wandered.

But he also knew why.

Just as they were about to pass the hospital, Ueno clearly sensed that the other person seemed a little disappointed. He glanced at the bubble tea shop next to him, and then at the hospital across the street.

"Kong, wanna grab a drink? My treat?"
