Chapter 33 Basketball 32
As soon as she went out, Kurikawa Sana ran into an unexpected person.
A fair-faced, handsome, black-haired boy was holding a bag of food in his hand, as if he had just come home from shopping and happened to run into them. His demeanor was as gloomy and calm as ever.
Seeing the door of the neighbor next door open, Hua Gongzhen glanced over naturally. When he saw the girl's dress today, he was slightly stunned.
"... Hanamiya-senpai?"
Hearing her address, Hanamiya twitched the corners of his mouth, "Didn't you say before that I wasn't a senior worthy of respect? Why are you suddenly acting so well today?"
Kurikawa Sana: "..."
She curled her lips and turned to leave, but she heard Hanamiya Zhen suddenly say, "Your dress is very beautiful today."
Kurikawa Sana was a little surprised that such straightforward praise could come from the mouth of such an awkward person like Hanamiya Makoto.
But the compliment was still very pleasant to hear, and she said happily: "Thank you, you have good taste~"
Hanamong Zhen: "..."
Unexpectedly, this trick worked better than she imagined. Her expression visibly brightened, and the girl's flowing white dress seemed to have grown a beautiful tail behind it, swaying gently, with the words "I'm very happy" written all over it.
Besides, she is rarely seen dressing up. Even when you see her after school, she is always wearing the sky blue Teiko student uniform.
The last time I saw her wearing something other than her school uniform was in a ballet tutu at the Teiko Festival... It turns out that besides piano, she's also good at ballet.
Oh, right, the piano.
It has been a long time since I heard her piano.
Hanamiya looked at her and asked, "Come to think of it, why haven't you been playing the piano lately?"
Kurikawa Sana: "?!!"
"Y-You can hear me?!"
"I can hear it all the time, including your Plants vs. Zombies and Sonata Pathétique." Hanamiya Makoto said calmly.
Kurikawa Sana: "..."
What? So the people next door can hear her piano playing at night?!
No wonder I always felt like something was wrong from the beginning... So when I first met Hanamiya during that basketball game, the look he gave me was no illusion.
It turned out that he had known her for a long time - he must have been cursing her in his heart for disturbing him by playing the piano!
Kurikawa Sana suddenly felt a mixture of emotions. Disliking Hanamiya for hitting someone during the game was one thing, but playing the piano in the middle of the night and disturbing the neighbors was another. She still had a strong sense of public morality...
Help, is the sound insulation here so bad?
Fortunately, she was just playing the piano at night and didn't do anything weird in the room:D
"I'm sorry... I had no idea the soundproofing was so poor. I disturbed your rest."
Kurikawa Sana, who is very public-spirited, apologized immediately, but still wondered, "But why didn't you tell me then? I knew if the soundproofing wasn't good, I would go to the school piano room to practice and wouldn't play at home anymore."
Hanamiya Makoto's black eyes flickered slightly.
I didn't say it immediately because I didn't want the piano music to disappear.
"It's nothing serious. I just listen to it as sleep music."
"Huh? Using the Plants vs. Zombies theme song to help you sleep?"
Hanamong Zhen: "..."
He coughed lightly and cleverly changed the subject: "So, why haven't you played it recently?"
Kurikawa Sana was stunned for a moment.
Looking back, she hadn't played the piano since the day Qingfeng's favorability was deducted and she became unwell with a high fever... Because at that time, she really didn't feel like playing the piano.
Now, even if I am in the mood, I don’t have the time.
Because I am about to leave this basketball world.
"I've been busy with club competitions lately, so I haven't had time to play the piano."
Hanamiya raised an eyebrow. "Those guys are already as strong as monsters. Do they still need a manager to run around for club activities?"
Kurikawa Sana didn't like what she heard. She immediately recalled Hanamiya's methods of hurting others during the competition. She said angrily, "They don't like hurting others during competitions like you do. Of course they have to continue their club activities!"
"Really? From what I understand, Aomine and Murasakibara haven't been training anymore, have they?"
Kurikawa Sana: "..."
You're really bringing up things that are not related to the topic. It's so annoying!
"Can't you just give up that devastating, hurtful style of play? You're clearly already a very strong player. May said you were one of the top five players without a championship, so your strength is unquestionable."
She seemed to have put on some pink lip gloss today, and her plump lips opened and closed with a beautiful color.
It took Hanamiya two or three seconds to register what she was saying.
Seeing that the other party did not reply, the girl frowned and said, "Forget it, I knew you couldn't..."
Suddenly, Hanamiya interrupted, "If I promise you to play clean basketball and never hurt anyone again, will you continue playing the piano?"
...Huh?
Kurikawa Sana didn't understand.
"Why?" She didn't understand the logic behind this.
After a moment of silence, Hanamiya Makoto said expressionlessly, "Nothing, it's just that your piano music is quite helpful for sleeping. I haven't heard it lately, and I'm having trouble falling asleep."
Kurikawa Sana: "..."
There's no way this could happen. Is her piano music so captivating? Hanamiya is even willing to change her outrageous villain values just to hear her piano?!
She clearly remembered how outrageous Hanamiya Makoto's words, "Other people's pain is as sweet as honey to him," were.
But if he does what he says... it would be a good thing. At least no one would get injured in the match against Hanamiya.
"Okay, I promise, but can you really do what you say?"
"Can."
"But how do I know if you've kept your promise? I'm not the manager of your Kirisaki First Middle School, so I can't supervise you..."
Hanamiya looked at her steadily, emotions surging in his black pupils. "You can come and watch every one of my games."
Kurikawa Sana was slightly stunned.
After a long while, she finally realized what was happening, "Ah? Oh..."
"I have a competition tomorrow. Can you play the piano tonight?"
"Tonight? Okay, that's not impossible." Kurikawa Sana nodded. It happened that she hadn't practiced the piano for many days, so it was time to play it.
Hanamiya Makoto: "I want to listen to the dance of flowers."
He even ordered a song, never mind, but I didn’t realize he actually liked Dance of Flowers.
"Got it. I'm leaving now."
Until the girl's figure completely disappeared from his sight, Hanamiya Makoto still stood there, and there seemed to be a white figure on his retina.
However, we waited until very late.
He couldn't even hear any piano music coming from next door.
…

In the dim alleys of the commercial street, there was a sound of fists and feet flying through the air, and the sound of fists hitting flesh was intertwined with vicious laughter.
"Hey, hey, this won't work, right?"
"Weren't you very arrogant when you challenged our boss? Haizaki——"
In the dim alley, the besieged gray-haired boy frowned tightly, his handsome face stained with dust and blood.
He lowered his head and wiped the blood from his lips, and uttered an irritated "tsk," "Ten against one, that's all you can do."
"There are ten of us against one of you. You should feel honored, Xiangwu-kun."
"I won't let you go out easily today unless I break your arm. Watch this—"
As soon as he finished speaking, the opponent's baseball bat was already attacking his shoulder joint. Haizaki Shogo frowned even more tightly. He tried to dodge, but his back had already hit the wall.
Just at this moment.
With a "bang", Haizaki Shogo saw the guy holding the baseball bat flying out.
That’s right, he flew out in the physical sense. The man hit another wall and fainted.
Haizaki Shogo: "..."
what happened?
"A dozen people gathered together to bully our Teiko students. That's too much."
It was a sweet and pleasant girl's voice, so familiar.
Haizaki Shogo's pupils constricted instantly.
...It's her.
Why is she here?!
"Asshole! Who is that?!" Dozens of pairs of eyes from the hooligans from other schools turned fiercely. When they saw the black-haired girl who knocked their companion away, they were stunned for a long time, and then laughed: "What? It turned out to be a woman, and such a beautiful one..."
"Are you going to stand up for that guy Haizaki? Hahaha."
"What's the point? Come with us to the socializing, miss."
The voice was full of malice and provocation, and it made people feel very uncomfortable just by listening to it.
The girl in a pure white dress was slender and beautiful. She was surrounded by a dozen thugs and felt a huge sense of oppression.
Kurikawa Sana blinked her eyes. Ever since she had the O'Neal possession item and the black hole skill from the tennis world, the kidnappers with real guns and bullets couldn't do anything to her, let alone be afraid of these guys in front of her.
But before she could make a move...
"Hey! Don't go after her!!"
The expression on the face of the seriously injured gray-haired boy became extremely terrifying. He instantly jumped up and started to fight ten people alone.
Chop, knee, straight punch, uppercut, step back to dodge, block...
As if forgetting the pain, Haizaki Shogo swept everyone with his astonishing strength. The expressions of the opponents also turned into fear from the beginning because of the ease of suppressing the number of people.
"Is this guy crazy?!"
"He's too good at fighting... Let's retreat first!!"
Even Kurikawa Sana was stunned. It seemed that Haizaki could solve everything by himself without her having to do anything.
One against ten...Isn't Haizaki too strong?!
After the last person was knocked away by Haizaki Shogo's punch, the last person on the opposite side also fled in panic, and the alley was finally quiet.
Haizaki Shogo was breathing heavily, and even he was a little surprised.
Even for him, fighting ten people alone was an unprecedented experience, and only the adrenaline rush could explain it all.
But why so angry?
When those guys looked at her with obscene eyes just now, Haizaki Shogo felt unprecedented anger rising from his chest. By the time he reacted, his fist had already hit the face of the guy who spoke wildly to her.
When he looked down, gasping for breath, he saw that his Teiko school uniform was covered in blood, and Haizaki Shogo couldn't help but be stunned.
After being hit in the eye by a surprise punch from the opponent, Haizaki Shogo endured the swelling and pain in his eye and turned to look at Kurikawa Sana.
She was wearing a white dress today, which was incredibly beautiful. It sparkled in the dim alley without a speck of dust on it.
The scenes from the Teiko Festival suddenly flooded into my mind.
She would dance gracefully and elegantly in a ballet skirt in the center of the stage, while he would only fight with extracurricular thugs after school.
…So what if the fight is fierce?
She's probably just going to hate it even more.
Haizaki Shogo laughed at himself and tried to make his tone sound relaxed: "Hey, Mr. Manager, why are you here?"
"I heard some noise here when I was passing by the commercial street. I found out it was you, Haizaki, so I came in."
Haizaki Shogo was stunned for a moment, then turned his head away. The color of his silver earrings changed. "You, did you come here just to help me... By the way, how did you push that guy away?"
"Just a gentle push and he flew out." Kurikawa Sana said seriously: "Haizaki, you need to practice more. If I hadn't come to help you, you might have broken your arm with that stick."
Haizaki Shogo: "..."
I have to admit that to some extent she did save the hero... Wait, that's not right, he doesn't seem to be a hero either.
"You... forget it." His voice was a little hoarse, "Thank you."
"Where are you going? I'll take you there. Those guys might bring more people to cause trouble."
The girl said honestly, "I'm going to look for Kise-kun. Haizaki, have you seen him?"
Haizaki Shogo: "..."
His face instantly looked even uglier than when he was hit by a few sticks.
Kise...what right did that guy have? ! !
