Chapter 3 Basketball 02
"Hey, what's wrong with you?!"
"Classmate, are you okay?"
Before Kurikawa Sana fell to the ground, Kise Ryota and Aomine Daiki quickly supported her on either side. But no matter how they called out, she no longer responded and was completely unconscious.
"Why did you suddenly faint?!"
"Need I say more? It must be that the force of your basketball was too strong, Qingfeng, and it knocked the girl unconscious!"
"What should we do now?"
After thinking for a moment, Kise Ryota suggested, "How about sending her to our school's infirmary? She's wearing Teiko's uniform, too."
"That's fine. But come to think of it, is she really from our school? If I had seen her at school, there's no way I would have forgotten her."
"Huh? With your memory, Qingfeng, you can't even recognize all the teammates in the Second Army?"
"Hey, that's another story! Are you going to forget her after meeting this guy?!"
Huang Lailiangta immediately said firmly: "Of course not."
“…”
Taking advantage of the moment when Aomine Daiki was choking, he quickly picked up the unconscious girl and said, "Anyway, take her to the infirmary first!"
Ryouta Kise picked up the other person with skillful and gentle movements, and did not forget to cover her legs with his coat, being careful and considerate.
Aomine Daiki: "..."
He twitched his lips speechlessly, "Kise, you are very skilled, haven't you hugged many women?"
"No, no! I copied it from someone else!"
"Ha, what skills are you copying all day long?!"
As they chatted on the way to the infirmary, the surrounding Teiko students cast more and more glances at them. Kise Ryouta and Aomine Daiki were both well-known figures in the school, and the former was holding a girl in his arms, which made him even more eye-catching.
The girl lying quietly in Kise Ryouta's arms only revealed her snow-white profile, but the profile alone was so exquisite that it was impossible to look away.
"Does Kise-kun have a girlfriend?"
"So beautiful! She's a model star like Kise, right?!"
"Which class is this girl from? I don't think I've seen her before."
"Is it the new transfer student?"
Listening to the discussions around him, Aomine Daiki smacked his lips irritably, "Kise, hurry up."
"I know, Xiao Qingfeng."
…
When they pushed open the door of the infirmary, they saw a person sitting inside who neither Aomine Daiki nor Kise Ryota expected to see, nor did they want to see him.
Haizaki Shogo, who is also a regular starter for the Teiko basketball team, is extremely talented and has excellent basketball skills, but he has a very violent and bad personality.
A tall, gray-haired young man sat in the center of the infirmary, bandaging his wounds. Despite his strikingly handsome face, he exuded an indescribable sinister and scoundrel aura.
When he saw Ryouta Kise coming in, Shogo Haizaki's expression showed the same hostility as the other party, but when he saw the extremely beautiful profile of the girl in the other party's arms, Shogo Haizaki was suddenly stunned.
...?
Noticing Huizaki's reaction, Kise Ryota couldn't help but frown, and a feeling of discomfort flashed through his heart.
Haizaki doesn't get along well with the other players in the first team, but perhaps because they have the same position and skills as him, Haizaki has a particularly strong hostility towards him, which is manifested in his love for snatching various things that he cares about.
Even though Kise didn't even know the name of the girl he was holding, Haizaki obviously didn't think so.
When he thought of this, Kise Ryouta's brows furrowed even deeper, and he subconsciously tightened his grip, holding the girl in his arms even tighter.
"Hey Ryouta, you got a new girlfriend? She's incredibly pretty."
Suppressing the indescribable tremor of excitement that suddenly came from his fingertips, Haizaki Shogo quickly treated the wound on his body, stood up, and teased Kise Ryouta, "How heartless! You were with Sayuri just a few days ago..."
"Ah, but Sayuri confessed to me yesterday. What do you think, should I say yes or no, Ryouta?"
It was still Hui Qi's characteristic lazy tone with a long and rising ending, and he still addressed the other person by name, a conversation that seemed like they were familiar with each other but in fact their relationship was very bad.
"My classmate Sayuri and I have never been together, and I don't care who she chooses to pursue." Kise Ryota answered with a smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
"Really? Then, Sayuri, just consider it a misunderstanding." Haizaki Shogo turned his gaze to the still unconscious Kurikawa Sana in his arms, his thin lips curled up into a wicked smile: "What if it was her?"
“…”
The smile on Kise Ryouta's face could rarely be maintained, and his face was filled with oppression after it turned cold.
This guy Haizaki... has it reached the point where we're about to have a public falling out?!
"Tsk, your conversation is still so boring." Aomine Daiki couldn't stand it any longer, "Haizaki, you went to fight with those thugs outside the school again? If Minister Nijimura finds out, you'll get beaten up again."
"If you don't tell me, Dahui, the minister won't know."
Huang Lailiangta ignored him and walked towards the ward. He gently placed the girl in his arms on the bed in the infirmary. "Where is the medical teacher?"
"It's been so long since school was over, and there was no doctor when I came." Haizaki Shogo spread his hands and his gaze casually fell on Kurikawa Sana.
Just now, she was held in Huang Lai's arms and I could only see her profile. It was only now that I was able to get a glimpse of her full appearance.
“……!”
Haizaki Shogo's pupils contracted slightly.
Is there such a person in Teiko Junior High School?
"So what should we do now?" Aomine Daiki rubbed the back of his head with a headache. "She was hit on the head by my basketball and passed out."
"We can't go on like this. If she gets knocked unconscious, it could be a serious matter. I'm going out to find a medical teacher. Xiao Qingfeng, you stay here and look after her." Kise Ryota frowned.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he noticed that Haizaki's eyes were fixed on the girl on the hospital bed, and Kise Ryota paused.
Are you kidding me? Why would he let Haizaki stay here? Who knows what he will do.
So Kise decisively reached out and pulled Haizaki along, his strength was rare and firm, "It's getting dark soon and I'm a little scared to be alone. Xiangwu-kun, please come with me to find the medical teacher."
Haizaki Shogo: "...???"
Haizaki Shogo: "Kise, you idiot, are you kidding me? How could you possibly be scared? Hey! If you want to go, go by yourself!"
Despite Haizaki's constant struggles, Kise's strength controlled him, who was injured after the fight, and he actually succeeded in pulling him out. Seeing this scene, Aomine Daiki almost laughed out loud.
Haizaki was so angry that he couldn't pretend to call him Ryouta anymore and just called him Kise directly.
After Kise pulled Haizaki out, the entire infirmary suddenly became quiet. The only sound could be heard: Kurikawa Sana's long and steady breathing. The setting sun shone in from the window, falling on the girl's peaceful sleeping face.
Aomine Daiki didn't know how long he had been staring at her. He only knew that when the other person's long eyelashes trembled, he also felt inexplicably nervous.
Almost at the same time, the cell phone in his pocket rang sharply. Afraid of waking up the girl on the hospital bed, Aomine Daiki hurriedly turned the phone to vibrate and hurried to the corridor outside to answer it.
"Hey, May, yes, I won't be home until later. You and Kuroko can go first after school. I'll be here in the infirmary."
"Huh? I'm not hurt, it was my basketball that hit someone else."
"I know, I know. Of course I will apologize to them..."
When Qingfeng Daihui hung up the phone and returned to the infirmary, he was surprised to find that the bed was empty and the curtains of the infirmary were gently lifted by the evening breeze.
Aomine Daiki: “……?”
Where are the people???
…
*
Inside the hamburger shop outside Teiko Junior High School.
[Sana, you are really hungry. You actually jumped out of the infirmary window just to eat a bite of teriyaki burger.]
The mechanical electronic sound that sounded in Kurikawa Sana's mind had no ups and downs, and it was difficult to make out the tone.
As she unwrapped the burger, she responded in her head, "Because I just saw that Aomine Daiki's favorite food in his profile is teriyaki burgers. I like that too, and I can't help myself. I want to eat what I want right now!"
system:【……】
When seeing the description of attributes that are helpful for strategy and increasing favorability, wouldn't the average person's mindset be to buy the other person's favorite food to get closer to them?
She was so good that she made herself greedy after reading the attribute profile. She just woke up from a coma and wanted to eat the same teriyaki burger even if it meant jumping out of the window. She is really worthy of being her.
Kurikawa Sana: [But system, why did I faint just now? I just fainted.]
System: [As I just said, you need to be careful not to lose too much health. If you become sick or injured again in this world, the health you previously accumulated through favorability will be deducted. You were just hit on the head by Aomine Daiki's basketball, which deducted the health you just gained from him, so you fainted.]
Kurikawa Sana: "..."
"No way, then I'm starting from scratch again. Woohoo...?"
System: [That's not the case. Your fainting occurred before you came into contact with Kise Ryouta, so the health points exchanged for Kise Ryouta's favorability were preserved. So, Sana, please learn from this lesson and cherish your hard-earned points. Don't get sick or injured easily.]
Hearing this, Kurikawa Sana breathed a sigh of relief. "I didn't expect this to be so user-friendly. So, you have to touch the capture target's body for the favorability indicator to appear? I remember when the Aomine favorability indicator first appeared, he reached out and helped me up. And when the Kise favorability indicator appeared, I was about to faint, and he caught me."
System: [Very clever, that's right.]
[Okay, thanks, system. I understand. I'll work hard starting tomorrow. Now, eating is the most important thing!] Kurikawa Sana happily picked up the burger, her pretty face beaming with joy.
System: […Okay.]
Let her be, as long as she is happy.
In the past, when she was seriously ill, she had to abstain from food and could not eat anything. She could only rely on glucose injections and nasogastric feeding to supplement her energy. It was a pain that others could hardly imagine.
Therefore, now even a simple teriyaki burger can make her feel extremely happy. Oh no, there are many teriyaki burgers here.
Despite having experienced such a painful and serious illness, she still has a very positive attitude and her personality is still as lively and cheerful as before... That's great.
Nothing could be more gratifying than this.
The system didn't speak again. He disappeared in silence, not disturbing her from enjoying the food happily.
…
Midorima Shintaro had noticed the black-haired girl sitting at the table by the window for a long time.
She possessed a breathtakingly beautiful face and a voracious appetite. Her plate was piled high with countless burgers, and she was still wearing the Teiko Junior High School uniform, which had attracted several times the usual number of people to the burger shop.
Almost everyone was pretending to watch her casually, which greatly increased the time he had to wait in line to buy today's lucky bear pendant from the hamburger shop.
Originally, Midorima Shintaro planned to buy the lucky charm and leave, but for some reason he paused.
Thinking that he had just finished training, he really needed to replenish some energy, so he found a seat and sat down. Unfortunately, the seat was right across from the black-haired girl.
Midorima Shintaro didn't pay much attention and quietly began to eat the hamburger in his lucky set meal.
Aomine and Kuroko, who are in the same club with him, like to come to this burger restaurant very much, so the taste should be good.
As soon as he took the first bite, he couldn't help but frown.
He likes to eat light-flavored foods such as rice cake and red bean soup. As someone who has always eaten a healthy diet, he cannot get used to such high-fat, high-salt and sauce-rich foods.
However, when he looked up, Midorima Shintaro saw the black-haired girl at the opposite table eating happily. Although she was eating fast food such as hamburgers, which might affect her image, her manners were quite elegant, revealing the air of a well-educated person.
The girl held the hamburger in her hand with great cherishment, as if she was holding a treasure that she had been seeking for a long time.
After taking another bite of the burger, she sobbed and even shed tears of emotion from the corners of her eyes. Her pretty face was covered with tears.
Midorima Shintaro: "..."
No, is it really that delicious?
