Become a Manager At Kuroko No Basket
Chapter 31

Seirin and Kaijou enter the field to warm up. Rei was also already together with his team members.

Kise then ran towards the Seirin team ring by dribble the ball and then do a lane up.

"Declaration of war." Say Kise.

Kagami also did the same thing coupled with Kuroko's pass, he did a lane up plus an alley oop.

They then rejoined the others

"Captain, I've been trying to hold him back. I can't take it anymore." Kuroko said and clenched her hand. "I'm too happy. To the point that I can't wait for the match to start." Further.

"Aho, we're the same. And," said Hyuga hanging up her sentence and then looking towards Kaijou's team. "Our opponent is like that too." Further.

Kise then approaches Kagami and Kuroko.

"Kagamicchi. That day, when I first felt a defeat in my life. Never forget a little." Say Kise. "Bless it, I finally came to my senses. I really like basketball, to the point that I'm willing to give everything. So, there's no way I'm gonna lose again." Further.

"Kise, are you soft?" Said Kagami which made Kise surprised. "We've known that for a long time. Don't explain it now. We'll prove it in a minute. Let's get started, quick." Further.

"Did Kurokocchi also feel the same way?" Ask Kise.

"Yes. I also thought about how much I didn't like Kise-kun." Kuroko said to Kise's surprise "But I mean in a good way. I consider Kise-kun as my rival." Kise is surprised but Kise smiles.

The match also began. Seirin attacked first and managed to score a number. While Kise also scored three points with her perfect copy ability as soon as Seirin scored first.

"Before the game Kagamicchi made one mistake. Who said I was flabby?" Say Kise.

Seirin attacks again but is stopped by Kise. Kise is back to using her perfect copy skills. Kagami tries to stop him but fails.

'They outperformed us! They realized that Kagami could not enter the zone when the match started.' Inner Rei.

Kise even stopped Kuroko's phantom shoot.

"Kuroko, are you okay?" Tanya Kagami who approached Kuroko.

"No. I gave up. Kise-kun is indeed amazing.., I lost to him a lot." Kuroko said while looking at Kise. "He's a strong opponent who can even make me laugh." Then come on and smile.

No one can stop Kise. He just keeps scoring and making the difference in numbers all widened. Kise then stopped using the perfect copy to save his power.

Seirin played restlessly so their shots always missed.

Riko then enters Furihata to replace Izuki. Furihata looks very nervous.

'Pftt I know what the coach meant by entering Furihata. But, her expression made me want to laugh.' Inner Rei who was trying to hold back his laughter by covering his mouth with his palm. Fortunately the others did not see that otherwise, maybe he would be taken care of.

Seirin's mood turned even calmer, unlike before that of a lustful one. Seirin played more alertly and unhurriedly. That was the change Furihata brought. Seirin started to catch up.

Furihata was replaced with Izuki in the second quarter.

There is a one on one between Kagami and Kise. Kagami got past Kise and scored.

Kaijou's team then replaced Kise.

"Chotto, why me? If I get replaced now..." Kise was about to protest but his speech was cut off by Kasamatsu.

"Kise. Follow the coach's orders." Said Kasamatsu who cut Kise's speech. "Your feet, right?" This made Kise surprised.

'Definitely injured against Haizaki. Even though I've compressed it, it's impossible to heal that fast.' Inner Rei.

"Oh. So it's been discovered." Say Kise. "But.., let me play! I can fight! I can't lose like this." It is still forcing me to play.

"Although that's the case, you'll get worse if you continue like this." Kasamatsu. "I know all your hard work because you want to win. I also can't accept when Haizaki injures your leg as well. But you can't wear it as an excuse. Matches involve everything, including such things. It has nothing to do with results." Continue with firmness.

Kise eventually complied and was replaced by another player. Even so Kaijou did not have any difficulties.

"Coach, isn't it time yet?" Ask Rei.

"It's time." Riko.

"Oh, replace Kuroko?" Ask Kawahara.

"Yes." Yeah." Answer Riko.

"That's because Kuroko-kun is trying not to stand out too much. But, we have to replace it immediately." Rei said with a serious face.

'Because it will be a problem when Kasamatsu learns the secret of Kuroko's phantom shoot.' Inner Rei.

As Kuroko was about to do a phantom shoot, Kasamatsu stopped her. Kuroko was replaced by Mitobe.

"sorry. I was blocked before the change. Sorry for stopping our momentum." Kuroko said when she arrived on the bench.

"Thank God you're not in shock." Rei said with a smile then refocused on the match.

Kagami just keeps scoring and making the score a draw. The first round is over.

"Kagami-kun." Call Kuroko while approaching Kagami who is tying her shoelaces. He stood in front of Kagami

"The shoes I got from Aomine's jerk were a perfect fit. In the next round I'll put all my skills in." Kagami.

"Ha'i" Kuroko said.

"But are you okay? They've stopped phantom shoot. Do you have a technique you're hiding?" Kagami asked as he finished tying his shoelaces and looked at Kuroko who was standing in front of him.

"I don't know." Kuroko.

"Oi! Are you really okay?" Ask Kagami.

"But I can't keep getting frustrated." Kuroko.

The second half began, Kise still not included in the match. He was sitting on the bench with an annoyed face.

Seirin has excelled. But Kaijou persists despite the difficulty of stopping Kagami.

Seirin and Kaijou again attacked and defended each other. But the course of the match was still controlled by Seirin.

Kise is back in the match and Kuroko is back.

"Yo, you're finally here. I've been waiting..." Kagami said as Kise entered the field, but his speech was cut off when he saw Kise's horrible face.

'Kise is now more dangerous than ever.' Inner Rei.

Kise re-activated her perfect copy ability and made Seirin difficult. He can even imitate Kuroko's technique which he could not replicate at all.

'We won't be able to win if we can't stop Kise's perfect copy. And if Kaijou wins, will I really be Kise's girlfriend?' Inner Rei who remembered his promise with Kise. 'What should I do if it really happens? I don't like it, but I'm not ready. I still don't understand my feelings.'

'Wait a minute, why should I worry. I should have believed they could win. I can't doubt them.' Inner Rei again.

Seirin keeps trying to stop Kise but always fails. Coupled with Kaijou's good teamwork made Seirin have difficulty in breaking through Kaijou's defense.

On the other hand, the pressure from the cheers of the supportive audience also had a huge effect on the mentality of the Seirin team members. Seirin's worsening state makes Riko immediately ask for a time out.

"Coach, there's one way to stop Kise-kun." Said Rei which made them pay attention to him.

"What's that?" Ask Riko.

"We have to predict who will be imitated by him. For that," Rei then looked at Kuroko. "Can you pay attention to it, Kuroko-kun? With your habit of watching others it should help." Further.

"Ha'i" Kuroko said.

"We'll do it." Riko agreed.

While Kagami and Kise compete one on one, Kuroko keeps a close eye on Kise's movements.

Kaijou continued to attack and managed to turn things around. Seirin also managed to turn things around again by making a quick attack.

Kise used the perfect copy ability and it was already predicted by Kuroko. They manage to stop Kise, but Kise immediately passes the ball to Kasamatsu. Kasamatsu did a shoot that made things turn around again.

Kagami immediately strikes back when the opportunity presents itself. Kagami, who is stopped by Kise, passes the ball to Kuroko. Kuroko also shot in the last seconds. Seirin managed to win the match and will fight Rakuzan in the final.
