"Yuuto? And that spy from Tōō? Why are you here?"
Kagami and the others never expected to see these two here.
And in such a... close relationship!
"Hi hi, everyone from Seirin, hello, we meet again."
Seeing people, Momoi hurriedly tied her straps, then grabbed her jacket to cover the spring scenery.
The sweetness.
It's enough for Yu to taste alone; others can't.
Yuuto felt it was a pity; he almost "accidentally" touched her again just now.
Taking a bottle of water to wash his hands, he turned his gaze back to Kuroko in the crowd.
"Long time no see, Kuroko."
"Long time no see, Yuuto."
Kuroko greeted politely, while the others fell silent.
Facing this player who almost shattered their ace's confidence and brought them a huge shock, they still held immense pressure in their hearts.
"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be preparing for the Nationals?"
"Nothing much, just came to find someone."
He was preparing for the Nationals.
The Generation of Miracles represented the pinnacle of each position. Completing their correction was largely equivalent to correcting everything.
The scene changed.
Yuuto and Momoi arrived at Seirin's lodging. Riko Aida had already prepared lunch for them.
Looking at the food emitting black smoke on the plate, Yuuto calmly put down his spoon.
Don't ask why they were so calm; Sora and Momoi were cooks of this type too!
"It's really hard on you guys."
"Finally, someone understands us!"
Seirin members burst into tears; the feeling of being understood was truly wonderful.
Only Riko Aida was fuming with anger.
Doesn't the anime say?
"The most important thing in cooking is the heart, the heart, you idiots!"
"Provided the food made doesn't cause poisoning after eating."
Yuuto didn't give her any face; they were acquaintances, having dealt with each other in the gym.
"Let me do it." Momoi rolled up her sleeves to show off her cooking skills. Yuuto held her down. "For everyone's health, let's restrain your magical powers, Satsuki."
He stopped her hurriedly, preventing a tragedy.
After a while, it took Taiga Kagami stepping in to solve the lunch problem.
"Can't tell, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes like you actually cooks surprisingly delicious food."
"Because my parents didn't have time when I was in the US, I could only solve it myself. I learned as I cooked." Kagami was modest, but he wanted to know more: "You said you came here to find someone. Who are you looking for?"
"Midorima." Yuuto didn't hide it.
"Midorima? Shutoku people are here too?" Seirin members were stunned.
"Yeah, haven't you guys known after being here for a few days?" Momoi gave a thumbs-up to Kagami's cooking; it was much better than her own.
They didn't know.
If she knew, maybe Riko Aida would have scheduled a practice match with Shutoku already.
"What do you want to find him for?"
"To play ball. Since you guys happen to be here too, how about doing me a favor?" Yuuto put down his cutlery after eating until 70% full. He said,
"What favor?"
"Of course, it's not a favor I'll ask you to do for free."
...
Evening.
In a nearby gym, Riko Aida brought the team members who had finished a day of training.
Before them, Shutoku's people were already in place.
Learning that Shutoku was also having a training camp nearby, she immediately visited and hoped to have a practice match with Shutoku.
Masaaki Nakatani didn't refuse.
Although Seirin was eliminated early, the level they showed in the match against Seiho was quite outstanding.
As a practice match opponent, Seirin definitely qualified.
Moreover.
This was for the face of his good friend Kagetora Aida; he wouldn't refuse his request.
What he didn't expect was that Yuuto also came here.
"Yuuto, Momoi? Why are you here?" Midorima's usually emotionless face reacted.
"Came specifically to find you. Count me in for this match." Yuuto was like a walking light bulb, eye-catching wherever he went.
After all.
This was the core of Seiho, who just won the top seed in the Tokyo district. Seiho's people now called him the King.
"Match? You?"
"That's right. I'll team up with the gentlemen from Seirin. Please advise."
Saying that, he ran to change into training clothes.
Shutoku's people didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd.
"What to do, Coach?"
"Treat it as a normal match. They are all Tokyo teams; we'll meet sooner or later."
It was better that Yuuto came.
For the Winter Cup and the future, let the team adapt to the opponent more.
During warm-up.
Seirin members seemed a bit reserved.
No choice; Yuuto's aura was too strong. They were both geniuses, but Kagami couldn't give them this feeling.
On one hand, because they were teammates and familiar with each other.
On the other hand, Yuuto had too many titles and halos.
Walking out of the countryside, leading a dark horse team to defeat the super Teiko hailed as the strongest in history.
Undefeated after entering high school, successively defeating King Shutoku and Tyrant Tōō.
Called the Lion King, King, etc.
Such a character suddenly parachuting into their team, it was inevitable to feel uncomfortable.
"Don't be nervous, just play normally."
Yuuto saw their reservation and told them to relax.
But how many could actually relax was hard to say.
However, after entering the match state, he believed Seirin's people would become normal.
...
"Please advise!"
"Please advise!"
Even in a practice match, etiquette couldn't be missing.
The match began.
Seirin starters: Izuki Shun, Yuuto, Kuroko Tetsuya, Taiga Kagami, Teppei Kiyoshi.
Yuuto replaced Junpei Hyuga's position.
Shutoku starters: Kazunari Takao, Shintaro Midorima, Kiyoshi Miyaji, Shinsuke Kimura, Taisuke Otsubo.
"Although I don't know what you're planning, even if it's a practice match..."
"I know. Just continue to do everything humanly possible, Midorima."
Yuuto was casual; his calm demeanor was uncomfortable.
Jump ball segment.
Teppei Kiyoshi defeated Taisuke Otsubo and tapped the ball to Izuki Shun.
"Worthy of being an Uncrowned King."
Momoi recorded on the sideline, thinking secretly: Seirin's current inside strength is absolutely national-level.
Taiga Kagami with explosive jumping ability, and Teppei Kiyoshi, one of the Uncrowned Kings.
It seemed the opponents for the Winter Cup weren't just Seiho and Shutoku; there were potential threats.
After losing the jump ball.
Shutoku quickly got into position; they were well-trained and unaffected.
As for Izuki Shun.
After dribbling past half-court, he started thinking.
"Although I don't know what you're planning, since the Coach agreed, I'll do as she says."
Riko Aida had communicated with Izuki Shun before the match.
She hoped he would give the ball to Yuuto more.
The purpose was simple: let Kagami see with his own eyes how Yuuto played with Kuroko as a partner.
