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

(Looks like your recent failure hasn't changed your arrogant nature, Nash.)

Akashi wiped the sweat from his face and retorted defiantly.

His words were another blow to Nash.

A week ago, the match between the Dragon Slayer Sword Team and the Blast Neck Dragon concluded successfully.

With a score of 127:123, Zhanlongjian defeated them by four points.

Nash, who had rarely suffered defeats since mastering the "Eye of the Demon King," also experienced the most painful failure of his life.

They're just a bunch of yellow-skinned monkeys, so why did I lose to them?

With these doubts in mind, Nash eventually took the initiative to apply to the Hawks Basketball Association to stay in Japan for a while. He wanted to figure out what kind of team could beat him.

Upon hearing that Nash had stayed in Japan, Akashi became interested. Facing an opponent who could consistently outmaneuver him on the court, Akashi's long-dormant competitive spirit surged once more.

This isn't the first time Akashi and Nash have had a one-on-one match like today.

As for the outcome of the battles, Akashi lost more often than he won. Even with the ability to possess two personalities simultaneously, he was still slightly inferior to the "Demon King's Eye".

"Chishi, where is large supermarket near here?"

(Akashi, where's the nearest large supermarket?)

Nash lifted his jersey, wiped the sweat from his face, and asked Akashi.

Akashi thought for a moment and said, "This is the suburbs, and the nearest supermarket should only be available at the airport."

(This is the suburbs; the nearest supermarket should be near the airport.)

Nash nodded thoughtfully, then walked off the court without saying goodbye to Akashi.

Judging from his appearance, he's going to the supermarket to buy something.

As Akashi drank water, he glanced at Nash's back and wondered: This guy... if I let him act alone, will something happen to him?

No! I have to go with them!

Having made up his mind, Akashi put down his water bottle and followed Nash discreetly.

After playing together for so many days, Akashi has gained a general understanding of Nash.

In terms of personality, there is a good idiom that can describe him: arrogant and conceited.

And being white, he seems to have an inherently arrogant attitude.

Normally, when facing Akashi, he would occasionally blurt out the word "yellow-skinned monkey." If Akashi hadn't been mentally prepared beforehand, he would have already lost his temper and stabbed him to death with scissors.

However, despite his major personality flaws, Nash's basketball skills were extremely high! He was arguably the best Akashi had ever seen!

In summary, Nash is not an easy person to get along with, and Akashi has absolutely no intention of becoming friends with him. However, as an opponent, Nash is very competent!

It has been a long time since anyone has been able to defeat Akashi in a one-on-one duel.

Whether it was out of mutual respect between rivals or to protect the passersby at the airport, Akashi felt that he had an obligation to keep an eye on Nash!

The two left Akashi's private arena one after the other. Nash got into his eye-catching convertible supercar, while Akashi chose a classic car to sit in.

As the sleek car ahead receded into the distance, Akashi narrowed his eyes and instructed the driver, "Follow him."

"Yes, Master Akashi."

At the same time, flights from China to Japan landed simultaneously.

Lingzi woke Xiangyang, who was still fast asleep, and said hesitantly, "It seems like we've almost run out of water at home, and besides that, we need to buy some other household items..."

Xiangyang yawned and readily agreed, "Then let's go buy it. There's a large supermarket right next to the Japanese airport. To be honest, I really don't know why such a large supermarket would be located in the suburbs."

Lingzi nodded and said, "Okay, let's go there after we get off the plane!"

Chapter 197 Meeting Nash in the Sun

"Curry sauce, chocolate, bananas, coffee beans... what else was it?"

Inside the supermarket, Reiko placed a bag of coffee beans into her shopping cart, pondering what her home was missing.

"Oh right, I haven't bought water yet!"

Lingzi glanced at Xiangyang behind her and pleaded, "Xiangyang, could you please bring me a case of water? It's over there."

Xiang Yang looked in the direction Lingzi was pointing, thought for a moment, and said, "Alright."

After all, when the two of them returned to Japan together, Reiko helped him carry all his luggage. Besides, as a man, it's only natural to help a female friend carry heavy things.

Following the direction Lingzi pointed, Xiangyang began searching for a place that sold water.

To be honest, this supermarket is really big, almost the same size as several large shopping malls in downtown Japan.

Xiangyang glanced at the shelves, thinking to himself: What kind of foolish, rich boss would open a supermarket here? Do they have too much money at home and can't spend it all? And to open such a big one, it's really outrageous.

This supermarket is very close to the Japanese airport, and although it is located in the suburbs, it has a large flow of people.

However, nowadays, which person who travels by plane for business or leisure doesn't pack everything they need to bring before leaving home?

Unless there are special circumstances, no one would make a purchase at a supermarket near the airport.

While maliciously speculating about which boss was so careless, Xiangyang walked forward while looking at the shelves. Because there were few customers in the supermarket, he did not pay attention to the way or his surroundings.

However, it turns out that you should still pay more attention to where you're going when you're walking.

At a corner, Xiangyang walked straight ahead without pausing. At that very moment, Nash also arrived at the other side of the corner. His reaction was extremely quick. The instant he caught sight of Xiangyang out of the corner of his eye, he slammed his right foot down, abruptly stopping his forward lean in mid-air.

The scene in the TV series where the male and female leads collided at a corner did not happen.

Xiang Yang also realized what was happening. He turned his head and subconsciously wanted to apologize to Nash, but before he could see Nash's face clearly, he was interrupted by the latter's stern voice.

"Feel sorry…"

"Are you blind? YellowskinMonkey."

(Are you blind, you yellow-skinned monkey?)

The sudden appearance of foreign language stunned Xiangyang, but he quickly recovered and put his English proficiency, honed by his English teacher and the CET-4 and CET-6 exams in his previous life, to the test.

In a split second, Xiang Yang understood Nash's meaning. He frowned and retorted sharply, "Chop your mouth if you can't speak, white pig!"

(If you can't speak, chop off your mouth, you white pig!)

"White...pig?"

Nash's expression froze. He had been in Japan for so long that he had used the term "yellow-skinned monkey" countless times, but this was the first time someone had called him a "white-skinned pig."

For a moment, Nash was somewhat at a loss...

However, Xiangyang had no intention of letting him off the hook. In China...

In order to leave a good impression on his future teammates and coaches, Xiangyang went into "mute mode" and didn't utter a single trash word for a whole month!

Now back in Japan, Xiangyang ran into a foreigner who was about to be yelled at as soon as he got off the plane. How could he not get excited and go all out?

"A dragon tattooed on your neck? You're Li Haonan? Open your pig eyes and see clearly whose territory this is. You keep calling me a 'yellow-skinned monkey,' aren't you afraid of getting beaten to death here? Also, I apologized because I was being polite and subconsciously courteous. Why did you take it so seriously? You're really pushing your luck, aren't you…?"

(The following English dialogue will be translated directly into Chinese.)

Xiang Yang spat and looked at Nash, who was still standing there as if he had lost his soul, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

What's this kid doing? Did I scold him until he went crazy?

Just then, Xiangyang suddenly realized that the white man in front of him looked somewhat familiar.

A dragon head tattoo on his neck, a head of sparse, blond hair, and a height that appears to be over 190 cm...

Nash Gott?

[How did you end up in the movie?]

Xiang Yang's pupils contracted as an extremely audacious idea popped into his mind.

"Could it be... that I took the wrong flight and ended up in the wrong country?"

Xiangyang picked up an item from the shelf next to him, looked at it, and after confirming that the language on it was Japanese, put it back.

[No mistake... So that means... the movie has started??]

On his second day in the world of Kuroko's Basketball, in order to organize the plot he knew in advance, Xiangyang specially bought a notebook and wrote down all the plots he could remember.

Of course, the Kuroko's Basketball movie, The Final Battle, is also a must-see!

In the original work, this "Neck-Burning Dragons" team caused quite a bit of trouble for the Miracles. Their star player, Nashgord, even managed to suppress Akashi in terms of individual ability, reclaiming the title of the No. 1 point guard in the entire series!

Earlier, Xiang Yang had guessed that the BBQ Dragons would come to Japan to play a game, but because too much time had passed and Xiang Yang was more focused on the game, he forgot about Nash.

However, this seemingly coincidental meeting today has stirred up forgotten memories in Xiangyang's mind.

At this moment, Nash, who had been completely bewildered by Xiang Yang, finally came to his senses, and the expression on his face instantly became distorted.

"What did you say, you bastard!"

Nash suddenly reached out with his right hand and grabbed Xiang Yang's collar. Xiang Yang's expression changed, and he immediately activated "Israeli military combat techniques".

Given Nash's current position and the way he's grabbing Nash's collar with one hand, Xiang Yang has at least 21 ways to deal with him, enough to make Nash fall to the ground instantly.

Just as Xiang Yang was about to make his move, a voice suddenly appeared, interrupting the two of them.

"stop!"

The familiar voice startled Xiangyang. He turned his head and saw Akashi standing there with a serious expression. When Akashi noticed Xiangyang's gaze, he gave him a reassuring look.

“Stop, Nash. If you dare to lay a hand on me, I can guarantee you will spend the next week in a Japanese prison.”

Nash paused, then curled his lip in disdain and said:

"Who are you trying to scare, Akashi? The Japanese Basketball Association won't allow this to happen, and Japanese law has no jurisdiction over me!"

As he said this, Nash still gripped Xiangyang's collar tightly, but he quietly lowered his raised fist.

"You can give it a try."

Akashi said expressionlessly.

Japanese law may not be able to govern Nash, but the Akashi family can. In Japan, the Akashi family is the law!

"Tch, be glad you escaped, kid.

Nash spat, released his grip on Xiangyang's collar, and turned to leave.
