While discussing about the final league of the Inter High preliminary, Kagami who came late into the gym. Seeing Nigou barking, Riko immediately analyzed the state of Kagami's body.
"Kagami-kun, are you playing basketball?" Riko asked as she walked closer to Kagami.
'So get caught. Riko is great.' Inner Rei.
"Ti-No" said Kagami trying to lie.
"Your injuries are getting worse."
"No, I.play a little..." Said Kagami while scratching the back of his head that did not itch.
"Bakagami Basin!" Riko started nagging Kagami.
Finally, he was only allowed to watch and was not allowed to practice. Rei immediately took the compress ordered by Riko and compressed Kagami's legs.
"Finally you were scolded by Riko-senpai." Said Rei while compressing Kagami's leg. Kagami did not answer and remained silent. Kuroko then approached the two of them.
"Kagami-kun is a fool." Kuroko said that made Kagami upset. "But I don't think you can do anything for no reason. Did something happen?" Ask Kuroko.
"I met Aomine. At that time he said that he used to be your 'light. I feel like you two aren't just regular team mates. Actually, what happened to you guys during Junior High?" Kagami.
Kuroko begins to share her past with Aomine, starting from Aomine who discovers her talent and gets stronger, he who began to feel bored when playing basketball then did not cooperate with Kuroko anymore and played alone. Until the other members start to change and he leaves the Teiko basketball club.
"Well, if I could just say something about that. Don't be so arrogant, fool! What the fuck! 'So getting bored of being too strong?' also 'who can defeat me is just me?' Kiseki no Sedai is a fool, huh?! It's so bad I'm gonna spit!" Kagami.
"It's true that it's vomiting." Said Rei whose words were not cared for by Kagami.
Kagami points his fist at Kuroko.
"Let's beat him, and wake him up!" Kagami.
Kuroko also welcomed Kagami boxing. Rei who saw that smiled.
The next day, each member of Seirin's team prepares himself for the final league match. Seirin's team is currently in the dressing room.
"It's almost time. Are you all ready?" Riko.
The Seirin team members like her were ready from the look on their faces which showed seriousness and looked ready to fight.
"Only three out of four schools can qualify for Inter High! Getting away may not be difficult. But, if you think it is okay to lose just once because of the league match system, then it is finished! The most important thing is this moment! We will definitely win this game!" Riko.
Both teams started to enter the field. But there was no Aomine. Kagami also approached one of the brown-haired Touou team players.
"Ano...wouldn't Aomine come?" Ask Kagami.
"He's late, that one fuckin' asshole." Said the player Kagami asked.
Kagami who heard it was shocked, as well as Rei and Kuroko who happened to hear it.
"I'm sorry. Actually we'd be in trouble if he wasn't around. But he will come after the second half. Let's just say we're the opening show. Please help, yes." Said the man with black hair and glasses.
"Kagami, you've played against Aomine before, right? Your spirit's not coming down, is it?" Ask Izuki.
"where possible. There I was even upset. If they were the opening act, then I would play with all my might, until their stars look stupid for not being able to catch up!" Said the fiery Kagami.
"I also agree. Aomine-kun's dangerous. We should score as many numbers as possible from the start of the game. There's no meaning in being angry at people who aren't here. Focus on the opponent in front of you." Kuroko.
"You understand too, right? We attack them all-out from the start of the game." Hyuga.
The match also began. Touou's team managed to score first quickly.
"Ah, sorry, I think I'm a little mispronounced. Our problem is only the opening show compared to Aomine. It's possible that we're stronger than you." Said the black-haired and bespectacled man to Izuki.
Touou's team uses a style of play that relies on individual strength, while Seirin's team uses the game style of cooperation of all team members. Both teams are competing fiercely.
Kise came to the match to see Seirin's match against Touou. At that time, he met Midorima who was also watching.
"Midorimacchi?" Say Kise.
Midorima looks surprised by Kise who realizes his existence.
"How do you know it's me?" Ask Midorima.
"You're stupid, huh? By the way, your sunglasses are too embarrassing. So can you please remove it?" Say Kise.
"What?" Midorima.
"What's that box?" Kise asked who looked at the box Midorima was holding.
"Oh so? You said you didn't want to watch today's game, but you came along anyway, huh?" Say Kise.
"Don't talk that no! I just happened to pass by this place!"
"Your house is far from here."
Kise then turned her attention to the match.
"So, how's the match going?" Ask Kise.
"Nothing special. Really ridiculous. Aomine doesn't exist, but they have a hard time dealing with them." Midorima said as she changed her glasses.
"Aominecchi doesn't exist?" Said Kise who was surprised. "Well, they both just scored, which means it's just getting started, right?"
"Have you forgotten? Touou also has Momoi. He is no ordinary manager. During Junior High, he has helped us many times. In other words, if he is your opponent, then you must be very careful." Midorima.
"If it is, Seirin has it too." Said Kise while looking at Rei who was paying attention to the movements of the opposing team while taking notes.
'He is amazing.' Inner Kise.
As Kagami is about to perform an alley oop, he is stopped by team player Touou.
'Wawat! They know.' Inner Rei. He looked at Momoi. 'Definitely because of him. It's gonna be tough. But, we still have Kuroko. I know you can't read it, Momoi.' Unknowingly, Rei showed his smirk.
Not only Kagami, the other Seirin team players also managed to be stopped. But, Touou did not manage to guess what Kuroko would do and did not manage to stop her.
The first quarter finished with a four-point margin with Touou leading the way. The second quarter begins. Kagami continues to dunk twice in a row, even though the legs are still recovering. Rei who realized that immediately approached Riko.
"Senpai, we have to replace Kagami." Rei Said. Riko agrees to Rei's request because she also realizes it. He then replaced Kagami with Koganei.
"What's? Why me? I just started." Kagami.
"Oh, just go back! Rei and coach realized it." Said Koganei which made Kagami surprised.
Rei compresses Kagami's legs with ice and massages them while Kagami is already sitting on the bench.
"Your legs haven't fully healed yet, have they?" Said Riko who made the other players surprised.
"I'm fine! My feet at all..." Said Kagami being cut by Rei.
"You said you wouldn't worry me anymore." Rei Said.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know this was gonna happen." Kagami.
"This time I forgive you." Rei said with a smile. "But next time, it won't." He then showed a face of anger that he had never shown before.
"The pain also seems to have somewhat diminished, so I'm not telling you not to play. Just let Rei tap your feet first. Take off your shoes." Riko.
Rei begins to tap Kagami's feet.
Touou's team began counterattacking. While Seirin's team has difficulty because there is no Kagami to face the high players of Touou's team.
Despite the injury, Kagami was sent back to play. Before entering the field, Kagami had a chance to look towards Rei. Rei then smiled.
'Fight!' Inner Rei.
Suddenly, Aomine who just came to embrace Kagami when the change of players will be made again.
"Well, that's dong. Show me your spirit, so even if it's a minute, you'll be able to cheer me up." Aomine.
Kagami immediately let go of his embrace. Others were surprised by Aomine's sudden arrival.
"Finally came too, huh? Get ready so you can play!" Said the black-haired and bespectacled man.
"Huh? But you guys are already superior, right? Moreover, the rest of the second quarter was only a minute away." Aomine.
"No, you gotta play." Team coach Touou.
"Yes, it's okay. If so, let's start." Said Aomine who was already preparing with her uniform.
'Is this over?' Inner Rei. 'No, it's not over. We still have hope.'
