STEPBROTHER (HAIKYUU X KUROKO NO BASKETBALL SUMMER CAMP)
24

"Who is the person you're underestimating?" asked the girl who immediately turned her eyes to stare out the window.

"Whose school is that? Do you know her?" ask the girl again which obviously makes Ushijima feel disturbed.

"You're really bothering me, Hannah!" ushijima complained that he was walking away, but Hana was also walking next to Ushijima.

"You still think I'm a bully, you don't realize you're the luckiest guy to steal the attention of a popular girl like me!" tukas Hana while smiling widely.

He tried to speed up his pace to compensate Ushijima, while Ushijima had no intention of giving in and slowing down.

"Hey, Ushijima! Do you know that I am a special girl who looks sad every time you are near, end you always ignore my presence and act annoying. Don't you have a heart to be nice to me?" hanna asked with a look on her complaint face.

"You're not special in my eyes at all, there's no reason for me to be nice to the person who always makes me uncomfortable." Ushijima who interrupted the origin without rethinking his words.

"No, you said rude again. I'm a woman, Ushijima. You should have learned how to be gentle when talking to me, let alone me being the only person who is sincere with you." Hanna blinked one eye while smiling, "And you need to know, you're still the sweetest creature." The gaze of Hanna's eyes was like a sparkling middle that made Ushijima feel increasingly uncomfortable and immediately accelerated his steps down the stairs.

And when he went down the lowest rung, he immediately crossed paths with Akashi who just happened to want to pass to the Basketball court. Ushijima looked resentfully at Akashi, as if he still could not forget the sensitive conversation between them yesterday about family matters. Just like Akashi hates Ushijima more than anything in the world, but the difference is he deliberately hides his hatred behind a friendly face and his calm attitude that can turn cruel whenever he wants.

"Your actions are very childish, competing with Junior High students while wearing Junior High School uniforms as well."

"Ah, it seems you already know. How quickly did the wind get to your ears? Are you worried that your junior will lose?"

"I don't care about them! They are not my juniors, because they are in a different sport than me" Ushijima said of Akashi. Hanna herself who felt ignored by the two brothers immediately stood before the two with a friendly smile.

"The two of you seem quite familiar and know each other, is she your cousin's sister Ushijima?" ask Hanna.

"Ushijima-san is my half-brother, senpai."

"Sister-in-law? Meaning your sister huh, Ushijima?" hanna asked in surprise, it seemed like she was the last person to know this news. Understandably, because he almost missed a few months to join a student exchange program to Korea some time ago.

"I never thought of it that way, Hanna." Ushijima refuted, although in fact his heart was very opposite to his lips. At the same time, the name akashi is called repeatedly by its members as if to indicate the match will begin soon.

"It's good that you think so, I don't have to bother changing my life as an only child. And it looks like my name has already been called by my team, so then let's just end our warm talk right now." Akashi intended to leave, but he held back his steps for a moment as if he still wanted to say something to Ushijima once again.

"Oh yes, I almost forgot. You don't have to be shy about being frank about your concerns with your Basketball junior team, I also sometimes always sympathize with other sports team members who have just suffered a defeat, he said, like as a chairman of OSIS as well as Rakuzan High School student." Akashi smiled with satisfaction and walked away leaving Ushijima who could only hold back his furious feelings.

"Basic stupid! I'm worried about you right now, what if they make fun of you?" ushijima muttered in his heart that made him daydream for a moment, before finally being scattered by Hanna.

"What are you thinking, Ushijima?" hanna asked, but this time Ushijima refused to press and walked away to the Basketball court.

He stood among the crowd of his school friends who just happened to be without a teacher because there was a meeting between teachers since this morning, as well as he also tried to make sure his existence was not recognized by Tendou or Sami.

He could see clearly Akashi who was on the sidelines and was fighting each other with a murderous gaze to Shiratorizawa Junior High Basketball Team.

"Hey, Akira. Why don't you wear the number 4 basketball jersey on your stage again? Are you willing to relinquish your captaincy to Alumni teiko like him in this match?" tanya Akio who even looks more like the person who is provoking Akira.

But it seems that Akira does not mind at all, he is also not provoked in the slightest and is getting closer next to Akashi.

"Even I'm honored to be playing with Akashi-Senpai, so stop being disrespectful to Akashi senpai."

"There's no need for you to spend time on a soldier who smells like kencur, Akira." Akashi attacks Akio sharply, then walks away to the other Teiko members.

Every now and then he could listen to the sound of the crowd of students looking at him, but the commotion did not disturb his focal point at all.

"Basic with a rough mouth, it's appropriate that my brother has a rough mouth like that." Akio frowned.

For a moment the tension began to subside, all members were also busy warming up until the time when the referee who was one of the senior Shiratorizawa began to give instructions so that the two teams lined up to start the game.

The whistle is rung and the ball is thrown up, but unfortunately the ball was caught first by Akio who has a higher jumping ability. They seem calm, there is no fear in them other than the ambition of wanting to destroy Teiko.

Akashi himself is still not much action, he tried to observe every movement pattern of play on the field. In fact, he also paid attention to the abilities of his teammates. His mind kept him spinning to make the right strategy in this game, for him Shiratorizawa was not a team to be afraid of.

And even if he really wanted to make a landslide victory, he had done so since then. But apparently, that's not what Akashi wants. He wants to play as a team and show his juniors that cooperation is much more satisfying than playing alone. In addition, he also did not want to be involved more in this game. After his chat with the members of Kiseki no sendai and Kagami, that he should let the Teiko members rule the field and avenge their heartache for all the insults and bad deeds of Tim Shiratorizawa. While everything is still in Akashi's control and strategy, he doesn't need to get involved far enough in the game.

And sure enough, Akashi has spent 2 quarters just to pass the ball to his juniors without spending extra energy and being much calmer. Until finally, he could clearly see the comparison of strength between the very talented Teiko Team and Shiratorizawa who had no advantages other than the Basic Basketball game. Moreover, the ability of Akio and Akira that has a huge difference.

But unfortunately the weakness of Team Shiratorizawa really able to be covered by their compactness, inversely proportional to Teiko who is not at all compact and lost direction when separated from the grip and rules Akira before.

Teiko failed to keep the Ring until Shiratorizawa was one point ahead at the end of the third quarter. And made Akashi have to think again to intervene.
