Hearing this commanding and strong tone, Kuroko Tetsuya remained calm.

"I have passed it on to you."

Just as Kuroko Tetsuya finished his words, the computer in front of Akashi made a "ding" sound, indicating that a new email had arrived.

It's a photo.

Inside is a photo of a group of people wearing black uniforms, standing in the volleyball hall.

In the center, there is a boy with orange hair and a bright smile, and a boy with black hair and droopy eyes. Behind him, there is a boy with silver-gray hair and a gentle smile, and a very tall boy holding his glasses...

And the black-haired expressionless boy standing behind the only girl in the corner,

It’s him!!!

Brother Jingguang!

The boy had black hair and didn't want others to smile when he looked at the camera.

but,

How could Akashi Seijuro not recognize him?

"Heizi, where did this photo come from?"

Kuroko Tetsuya on the other side was not surprised at all by the alternation of the two personalities. He also felt Akashi's excitement and joy.

Without any hesitation, he explained, "I saw it from our minister. He said that his cousin who is two years younger than him and lives in the countryside sent it to him. He said that this year his cousin finally got into the school he had always dreamed of. He has very good teammates and seniors, and he also said that he will definitely achieve unprecedented results."

He added the information he had asked the director: "It's the volleyball club."

This was one of the reasons why he hesitated.

Forget about the boy's hair color. It is said that Atobe-san went abroad.

But once Kuroko saw the look on Akashi's face when he mentioned Atobe-san, he guessed that things were not that simple.

But other people shouldn't have noticed it at all.

Even when Minister Hinata received the photo, and Coach Reiko Aida did not realize that the boy who looked like a background board was the Atobe classmate who had once fought against them.

Kuroko was also 30% suspicious and 40% guessing, but based on intuition,

He thought he should tell Akashi-kun.

That's how the phone call came about.

"Kuroko, could you please ask me where Hinata-san's cousin is studying?"

"I asked, it's Karasuno High School in Miyagi Prefecture."

Miyagi Prefecture?

Such a remote place?

Akashi Seijuro's eyes darkened, and a look of heartache flashed across them.

"Thank you, Heizi. I understand. I'll take note of this matter. I'll treat everyone to go out and play together later."

"I'll have a vanilla milkshake."

Kuroko Tetsuya was not polite either.

"Oh, of course."

After thanking him again, Akashi Seijuro couldn't wait to hang up the phone.
