Kuroko couldn't figure it out, but he decided that he must not tell Saiki and Kise about this. It was not because he didn't trust them, but because he trusted them too much, so he had to get to the bottom of this matter.
Since two of them have been passed, Aomine-kun is too simple and single-celled so he can't go either. Murasakihara-kun doesn't look like the kind of guy who would care about such things. Akashi-kun is too sharp. Although it would be easy to discuss with him, there is no guarantee that he will force Saiki-kun to answer.
The rest of the people...
Kuroko's eyes swept across a photo on his desk. In the photo, Midorima-kun and Kise-kun were standing very close to each other. They had laughed at them harshly at them before.
As expected, I have to go talk to Midorima-kun. Although he is close to Kise-kun, his tsundere personality and inability to lie make him perfect for questioning.
With this idea in mind, Kuroko made a series of preparations and dialed Midorima's contact number.
"...What's up?" Midorima, who had just answered the phone, didn't have any intention of saying hello. This way of greeting was in line with his tsundere personality.
"Hello, Midorima-kun, I have something I want to ask you." Faced with such a tsundere guy, Kuroko decided to play it straight, so he expressed his thoughts while Midorima looked confused.
When he talked about these things, his expression was as expressionless as usual, but Midorima's expression gradually changed from confusion at the beginning to unnatural, and finally returned to seriousness. Such subtle changes made Kuroko instantly understand that Midorima-kun was probably one of the insiders.
"...So, Midorima-kun, could you please answer my questions?" Kuroko, who was not used to speaking a long string of words, took a few sips of the water beside him before he could barely calm down.
Midorima just stayed there quietly, looking at his lucky charm and wondering if it was not big enough, otherwise how could he have suffered this unexpected disaster.
It seems that after meeting Saiki, his lucky charm has been ineffective.
Kuroko on the side was quietly waiting for Midorima to speak. It was unknown how long it took, but perhaps because Midorima could not resist Kuroko's gaze, he finally spoke.
"Some things are better left unsaid. I can only tell you that Qi Mu and the others won't do anything to let us down."
Midorima ultimately chose not to choke back with lies, as he really wasn't good at this sort of thing, while Kuroko nodded thoughtfully, as he agreed with the point of view, but that didn't mean he was willing to be a fool.
"In that case, I've recorded what we just said, and I have all the evidence in my hands now. Midorima-kun is a smart man, he wouldn't want Akashi-kun to get involved in this, right?"
Kuroko's expression was calm, but Midorima could see a threat in it. God knows why, after spending some time with Seirin, this guy, who was easily the third most innocent among them, became so sinister! Surely it was all because of that guy!
"I don't mean to threaten Midorima-kun. By the way, if you want to call for help, I will press send without mercy."
This is clearly a threat, and it is an obvious threat!
Midorima pushed his glasses, his expression showing obvious displeasure. This guy is really difficult to deal with.
Midorima and Kuroko have been at odds since Teiko, and now as they grow older, their rivalry is increasing day by day.
"...I won't tell you. If you want to know, you can ask Qi Mu yourself." After giving this advice, he hung up the phone without mercy, without even giving the guy on the other end any room to fight back.
Kuroko wasn't surprised to see the call being hung up. This was indeed consistent with Midorima-kun's style. He didn't ask anything, but he got useful information. Sure enough, this matter was related to Saiki-kun.
He immediately thought of today's events. It was after Akashi-kun said the word "Qi Mu" that the countdown thing started to happen, right?
But the more he thought about it, the more incredible it seemed to Kuroko. Would it really be allowed for a human to be able to control the countdown?
In the end, with a conflicted look on his face, Kuroko still didn't choose to call Saiki. He had a hunch that even if he called, Saiki wouldn't give him a direct answer.
Midorima, who was far away after Shutoku hung up the phone, also chose not to tell Saiki about this. His reason was much simpler. As an ordinary person, Kuroko could not guess the psychic power of the person for the time being. This was something that went against common sense.
And it's useless to tell Qi Mu. Kuroko is a very cautious guy. God knows if he will leave something incredible behind.
The last reason is that Saiki's appearance disrupted too many normal things, and the worst affected thing was his lucky charm, so he had no obligation to inform.
With this mentality, the two people who knew the truth did not choose to contact Qi Mu immediately, which resulted in the psychic knowing nothing about this mysterious conversation.
At this time, Cat Boss was having a great time playing with Cat No. 2. In a short period of time, they had risen to the level of close friends.
Number Two was very interested in the "Lord Aqi" mentioned by Boss Cat, and Boss Cat always had some filters for those who admired their gods, so this led to a harmonious scene between the two guys.
But the most discordant person is Jiang Yuan, who is now exhausted. He has done so much training that he even forgot the purpose of coming to Seirin. His mind is now full of completing the task, then quickly eating and sleeping, and by the way, quickly returning to Shutoku to do his clerical job!
This place is so scary, it's like hell!
God knows what he had just experienced, from push-ups to running, then to sit-ups, and finally a one-on-one friendly communication with their ace. All of this added up to make him feel that he had exceeded his exercise quota this month.
"I say, you are also from Teiko, right? How come your physical strength is so poor?" There was obvious contempt in Aida's eyes.
Jiang Yuan, who was sweating profusely and had just laid down to catch his breath, didn't want to answer at all. He had only trained for show. Who would train so hard?!
At this time, Number Two and Cat Boss happened to pass by here, and the disgust in their eyes was almost overflowing.
"You're so weak! As expected, none of the humans here can compare to Master Aqi. Speaking of which, when can I go back?"
Meanwhile, Heizi, who appeared from nowhere, looked at the cat boss thoughtfully. Since it was sent by Saiki-kun, could it contain some hidden weapons? For example, a simulated cat or something?
I have to say that today's haters have extremely wild imaginations.
