STEPBROTHER (HAIKYUU X KUROKO NO BASKETBALL SUMMER CAMP)
47

"I've been so sweet to you, I've called you Oniichan."

"Hufftt. It's up to you, Akashi. Then what are you doing here?" ask Ushijima.

"I just want to take my phone, give it back!" akashi Pinta.

Ushijima reached into his backpack pocket and gave the phone to Akashi, not realizing there was a slight crack in Akashi's phone due to a previous fight.

"Why can my phone screen crack?" ask Akashi.

"So your phone fell along with me, if it is not happy to buy new. Usually rich people like you will not lose to buy a new cellphone," said Ushijima who is somewhat controlled.

"Who are you fighting with?" tanya Akashi who was even more suspicious with Ushijima's strange attitude. Not to mention Ushijima said anything to hide the truth, Akashi immediately opened the call history from his phone and found a foreign number that had forgotten to be cleaned by Ushijima.

"Who is this calling from, Ushijima-San?" akashi asked, he started to get annoyed being played like this.

"The call from the impostor" replied Ushijima who somehow immediately thought of saying that.

But it seems that Akashi's suspicion does not stop just like that, he immediately contacted the number which just made Ushijima panic and hurriedly approached Akashi to seize his cellphone.

Along with the sound of the call still ringing added to Ushijima's panic, until he accidentally slammed the phone into the corner of the room until the screen came off and died completely.

Obviously Akashi was immediately annoyed, he glared sharply at Ushijima. The problem is that his anger is not because of the phone, but Ushijima's behavior which clearly looks very much hiding something from him.

"Stop looking at me disrespectfully, Seijuro!" ushijima snapped who could still feel her chest pounding in panic. Then he placed his right hand on Akashi's head which was much shorter than his.

"The problem of your phone will be replaced, forget about this problem and I'm sorry if my actions just shocked you." Ushijima repeatedly endured the pain from his shoulder that had been slightly rubbed.

"You're really hiding something from me, Ushijima-San." Akashi removed Ushijima's hand from his head, then looked up to return Ushijima's gaze.

"Whatever you're hiding has hurt my pride, you're acting as if I can't solve my own problems. And whoever's behind that call, you seem to be trying to get away from me. Or maybe he's the one who got you hurt twice?" ask Akashi sharply.

"Let's forget about it, I'm just trying to protect you. You are my sister" said Ushijima, half-truthful for wanting to end this debate, not to mention that he was still limp and wanted to rest in bed.

Akashi smiled behind the corner of his lips, he threw away his face for a while and took back his broken phone.

"Next time don't interfere with my problems, I don't want to bear anyone's hatred if something happens to you. And as for the wounds you received today or some time ago, I will not apologize or thank you in the least. I didn't ask you to hide anything from me in the first place to protect me." Akashi immediately left the room, Ushijima could only be stunned for a moment, before his legs fell down which made him sit on the floor of the room.

Unlike the case with Akashi who was still very upset and ignored some warm greetings from the servants, he even passed through the existence of his stepmother who was calling his name. It just so happens that tonight Mr. Masaomi has a bustle outside the city which causes him to miss the family dinner and leave his son and wife at home.

Akashi had promised to be nice to Mrs Ushijima and accompany Ushijima and her stepmother to dinner this morning. However, his anger this time made it difficult to think and continue to walk towards the front yard of the house.

"Prepare the car immediately, sir!" akashi orders one of his servants who happens to be talking to a security guard.

And while Akashi was waiting for his driver to come with the car, he was still standing in front of the house until Madame Ushijima came with a slight concern.

"Seijuro, where are you going? What's up, son?" ask Mrs Ushijima.

Akashi still continues to ignore his stepmother, he repeatedly gripped the hard phone in his right hand. However, Madam Ushijima kept getting closer and asked worriedly as if trying to be a surrogate mother to Akashi made Akashi sick.

"Keep your hands off me now!" celtuk Akashi who turned sharply to Madame Ushijima.

It was obvious that the woman became startled and slightly stepped back away from Akashi. And he gently asked back to Akashi, "Did Mama make a mistake with you, son?"

"Stop overdoing it with me, you're really hurting my pride. You think I've been lacking a mother, so you're being nice like this? Stop taking full responsibility to replace my mother's role in my life, you shouldn't worry about me too much."

Akashi's words have really gone too far, he made Madam Ushijima stare in disbelief at what he had just heard from his stepson.

"The person you should be worried about is your own biological child, he has been seriously injured from fighting on the grounds of wanting to protect me. So, it's better to do your role as a mother to your biological children first before me! I've had a lot of affection from my late mother, you don't have to worry." Akashi still showed his eyes full of angry outbursts. Along with the sound of the wheels of the car that came to pick up Akashi.

"Mother and child are both troublesome" Akashi murmured before finally getting into the car and asking the driver to drive him to a nearby store that could repair his phone.

Not because he could not afford a new phone, but he wanted to know who was behind the mysterious number. He plans to avenge the actions of the man who had dared to deal with him and hurt Ushijima.

Although he is still upset with Ushijima who has hurt his pride, he has great respect for Ushijima. And he will earnestly avenge all the wounds that Ushijima received and vent his hatred and anger towards Ushijima to the mysterious man.

"Young master, there's a phone call from Mr. Masaomi!" tell the driver in the middle of the journey.

"No need to lift up, let me bear all the anger of Papa. You don't have to worry," asked Akashi who still kept his eyes closed and tried to calm his anger. And this was the first time he had rejected a call from Mr. Masaomi, he had completely run out of patience and was at the darkest point among the darkness he had previously explored.

Not because the fear of defeat and fear was not appreciated as before, but this time he decided to return to darkness for other reasons that were difficult to define. Feelings of indecision over the sacrifice and concern of others towards him, self-esteem that is hurt by feeling lied to, as well as his dislike of the attitude of others who try to meddle in his affairs and consider himself unable to solve his own problems. Maybe the three of them are the trigger Akashi decided to go back down the dark room once again.
