Kuroko's Basketball: I'm not the boss?

This is the last of Kaijo's three-peat, and it also symbolizes the official start of the Kaijo Dynasty!

To everyone's astonishment, in the final moments when the score was behind, Kaijo chose not Kise or Mukayo for the game-winning shot, but rather Hashimoto Yuki, handpicked by Mukayo!

This talented young man from a basketball family delivered an epic rookie performance on his first appearance on the high school league court! Even in the final moments of the finals, he resolutely stepped up and performed exceptionally well in the face of a challenging task posed by the team's veteran players.

Many Kaijo fans have even dubbed Yuki Kise's successor. Of course, they have no idea that this 193cm tall underage high school boy's dream is actually to become Kaijo's point guard.

Strictly speaking, Yuki should be considered Hikaru's successor.

When taking the official photos, Yuki wanted to stand alone in the corner, but unexpectedly, Kise and Xiangyang each put an arm around her and put her in the middle. Then they put the championship trophy directly into her arms!

And so, in a daze, Yuki hurriedly raised the trophy under the cameraman's urging. On either side of him, Kise and Hikaru did the same thing, one hand on the trophy and the other making a peace sign.

As a veteran of the team's three championships, perhaps because Hayakawa graduated, Hori didn't put his arm around anyone this time. Instead, he stood alone on the right, raising his hands in a bodybuilder pose.

As for Hiroshi Ohara, he clasped his hands together and stood obediently by the sun, his head slightly tilted to the side, as if he wanted to get closer to the sun.

Xiangyang glanced at them, didn't think much of it, put the three photos of the champion taken at different times together, and then solemnly put them back into the box.

There's no need to be complacent just because we've won three championships. The Kaisho Dynasty has begun, and it certainly won't be the end!

"We'll need to find a bigger box then, otherwise there are too many photos... what if we can't fit them all?"

Xiangyang nodded thoughtfully, put Kise's gift aside, and turned to look at the next item.

In stark contrast to Kise's gift box, the second box, judging from its appearance alone, exuded an aura of wealth.

"This should be... Akashi?"

Xiangyang opened the gift box, revealing an exquisite necklace with two silver fish swirling around its pointed ends. Needless to say, given Akashi's wealth, Xiangyang wouldn't have felt it was an extravagant gift even if it were a sports car.

He picked up the necklace, held it to his chest, and compared it to his own, feeling the quality feedback from his fingers. Xiang Yang smacked his lips.

"It's not a cheap item, is it?"

Xiangyang muttered something, put the necklace away, and turned to the next document.

The gifts Momoi and Kuroko gave were very similar: one was a black dog-patterned brooch, and the other was a pink bookmark.

They're all little trinkets, but...

For some reason, seeing this made Xiangyang realize that this was the gift he deserved!

After all, they are still high school students, so a simple yet exquisite gift like this is more in line with their status.

Continuing on, Murasakibara sent a small box of snacks, including his favorite cereal bars, while Himuro sent a reindeer-shaped doll and a pair of colored contact lenses.

Xiangyang picked up the contact lenses, and the expression on his face turned into the emoji of an old man on the subway looking at his phone.

"What are you trying to do, kid?"

Xiangyang didn't take the subtle complaint too seriously. After all, it's a Chinese custom to send a gift with a small token of appreciation, even if it's just a small gift.

Since Xiangyang would only be planting flowers for a month and would be back, they didn't make a big fuss about it and let everyone know. The gifts that everyone brought weren't farewell gifts, but simply birthday wishes for Xiangyang.

Unfortunately, Xiangyang never really celebrated his birthday in his previous life, and he doesn't care about it at all in this life. If Kise hadn't specifically inquired about it, probably no one would have known when his birthday was.

In this situation, Yuki, Hori, and Kasamatsu had no idea that it was Hikaru's birthday, so naturally no gifts were sent to them.

Of course, Xiangyang was happy to have some peace and quiet in this situation.

Looking down, I saw that there were still five gifts left unopened.

They are Aomine, Kagami, Takeuchi, Midorima, and Masako.

Xiangyang picked up the gift from Yako. It was a very small box. For some reason, he put the gift aside, intending to open it last.

Coincidentally, apart from Yako, Xiangyang had absolutely no expectations for the gifts from the remaining four clowns.

"Hmm... Let's see what you do first, Midorima. As the most composed one among them, don't let me down!"

Xiangyang licked his lips, picked up Midorima's box and started to open it. It was an extremely long box, and Xiangyang even wondered if there was a katana inside.

"No, no, no... If it were Masako, she might give me this. Midorima, though..."

Xiang Yang was suddenly stunned. He covered his face with his hand, feeling somewhat helpless.

"Oh well, Midorima might give me anything..."

Half a minute later, Xiangyang's lips twitched as he looked at the scallion in his hand.

It's very green and robust; it doesn't look like an ordinary scallion, as if it's been carefully cultivated by someone.

Xiang Yang stared with dead fish eyes and chuckled twice: "If nothing unexpected happens... today's lucky charm for Virgos should be a green onion?"

Shaking his head, Xiangyang carefully put away the premium scallion. Then, he looked at the remaining three gifts. After a brief moment of hesitation, he reached out his right hand towards Vulcan's gift.

What's going on? It's so heavy, big guy!

Xiang Yang was slightly taken aback. The size of the Vulcan gift was standard, but in terms of quantity, it was more than enough!

Tear, tear…

Xiangyang opened the package, took a closer look, and all his doubts vanished instantly.

A 7.5KG dumbbell makes its dazzling debut!

With a snap!

Xiang Yang slapped his forehead hard with his right hand. He looked around at the bustling aisle. Since it was almost time for the plane to take off, many people were rushing to their boarding gates.

Many of them were filled with awe and respect after seeing the dumbbells in Xiangyang's hands!

Xiangyang: ...

"I'm sorry, Vulcan... Your gift was very nice, but I should have opened it when I was home..."

Xiangyang took a deep breath, his expression instantly turning melancholy. He glanced at the time; there were still twenty minutes until the flight from Japan to China was about to take off.

If nothing unexpected happens, Xiangyang will be taking this dumbbell with him as he flies across the sea to China.

"What a tragedy!!!"

Chapter 183 The Gifts of Miracles (Part Two)

"Hey, Mr. Xiangyang, are you unwrapping a present? Wait... why are you holding a dumbbell?"

Reiko, who had just returned from the restroom, was taken aback when she saw Xiangyang's current appearance.

"Pfft, seriously? You're going to take this guy with you to China and bring him back together? That's hilarious, hahaha."

After a while, Lingzi seemed to understand something and burst out laughing. Looking at Xiangyang's increasingly dark face, her laughter grew even louder.

Don't get angry, don't get angry. Getting angry will ruin your health, and no one can take your place. Calm down...

Xiangyang took a deep breath, put the damn dumbbell back into the box, and looked at the remaining two gifts.

In a way, Aomine and Takeuchi are just as heavyweight as Kagami!

"Qingfeng...you didn't send me a pair of dumbbells too, did you?"

After a brief hesitation, Xiangyang reached out his hand toward Qingfeng's gift box.

Lingzi also leaned closer, curious about what was inside the remaining gifts.

The box Aomine sent was also flat, somewhat similar to the one Kise sent, but considering Aomine's relationship with Hikaru, it's unlikely he sent photos. And even if he did, Aomine couldn't possibly send Hikaru a set of his own personal photos, could he? That would be more like sending dumbbells…

I picked it up and weighed it; the weight was acceptable. It didn't look like the one in the photo, but it definitely wasn't a dumbbell.

So... what exactly is it?

With this question in mind, Xiangyang opened the box and found something that looked like a magazine inside. Xiangyang was a little surprised. The thing Qingfeng gave him was actually a book.

Of course, Xiangyang was overthinking it. How could someone like Qingfeng possibly give him a book?

"Mai Horikita's personal private writing... Huh???"

Xiang Yang was dumbfounded. After reading the name, he looked down and saw a swimsuit-clad woman on the cover with her hands behind her back, winking at Xiang Yang with a smile.

At that moment, Lingzi's expression changed drastically, from curiosity to disgust; her speed in changing her expression was worthy of an Oscar.

Xiang Yang opened his mouth, then quickly stuffed the private photos, which were not suitable for public display, back into the box. He waved his hand, intending to explain to Lingzi, but was interrupted by her.

"Say no more, Xiangyang. Birds of a feather flock together. I despise you."

Xiangyang: ...

"A sin!"

……

……

After a period of playful banter, Lingzi finally stopped looking at Xiangyang with the eyes of someone looking at trash. She withdrew her disgusted expression and instead continued to examine the remaining two gift boxes with curiosity.

They were gifts from Takeuchi and Masako, respectively.

Xiang Yang glanced at it, took the gift box from Wu Nei first, and when he saw this, Ling Zi smiled and chuckled twice.

"What's wrong? Are you saving the best for last? Like eating the biggest grapes last?"

Lingzi nudged Xiangyang's arm, her expression becoming incredibly subtle. Of course, this little trick wouldn't affect Xiangyang's heart. He wasn't some teenage boy having a crush, why make such a fuss?

"Perhaps."

With a perfunctory reply, Xiangyang opened Wuwei's gift.

Razors, hair wax, and skincare oils from unknown brands…

Xiang Yang took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to complain.

He picked up the razor and examined it closely, muttering, "This isn't something that old bastard left over, is it..."

"Hmm, it looks new?"

Compared to the bizarre gifts he had received before, Xiangyang was surprised to find that the gifts from Takeuchi were actually quite nice.

If you disregard the hair wax and the weird skincare products from that unknown brand, Xiangyang is quite satisfied with the razor itself.

"So, there's only one item left..."

Xiangyang casually put the "three-piece set" given by Takeuchi into the box, and then solemnly picked up Masako's gift and placed it in front of him.

Reiko also turned her gaze to the gift, while teasingly saying, "Are you still a little nervous? This is a gift from Ms. Masako!"

"Shut up, just watch."
