STEPBROTHER (HAIKYUU X KUROKO NO BASKETBALL SUMMER CAMP)
68

Akashi, who was still a little upset, did not immediately go home, he instead stole the opportunity to stop for a while at a Bazar that was being celebrated in the city center. So, he decided to go around there and buy hot food that was often bought by Nijimura to him .

And accidentally, he meets Kuroko and Kagami who are also traveling around with some food parcels in Kagami's hand. Obviously, kuroko immediately greeted Akashi right then and there.

"I can't believe we met here, huh, Kuroko." Akashi smiles as he crosses paths with Kuroko and Kagami.

"That's right, Akashi-kun. It just so happened that I had promised to accompany Kagami-kun to buy a market snack today" Kuroko said.

"What's up, Akashi!" kagami's greeting was a bit of a hassle with the snacks he was holding.

"It seems you're having trouble bringing that food, Kagami."

"Let's go, Akashi-kun. Though I have advised Kagami not to be too greedy. So, what is Akashi-kun doing here?" ask Kuroko.

"Nothing, I'm just bored." Akashi answered.

"If you're bored, let's play basketball with us! We can use the vacant land of the former Basketball court that is next to this market," suggested Kagami who was even excited.

"Can't, Kagami-kun. We don't have the ball and Akashi is busy walking around, not wasting energy facing you." Kuroko advised Kagami.

"Stop advising me, Kuroko. Don't you want to know Akashi's new power? It's good we know about this new power, just in case we meet Akashi in any game." Kagami glares at Kuroko, but is instead met with an affectionate blow by Kuroko in Kagami's stomach.

"You speak too strongly, Kagami. Akashi has heard of your rotten plan" Kuroko said.

The debate between the two men really tickled Akashi's stomach, so he could not stop smiling at the two.

"Well, then I'll accept your invitation to play basketball with me now." Akashi stopped the debate between the two friends who became the light and the shadow.

"Seriously? Then, ball?" ask Kagami.

"Not to worry, we can buy now the basketball. It's possible that there's a sports shop nearby" Akashi replied casually without thinking that he would need money to buy the ball.

"You are the best, Akashi!" praise Kagami who is getting more excited. Akashi smiles and invites the two to find a Sport store to buy basketball.

"By the way, is there a basketball ring?" ask Akashi.

"There's dong, Akashi. Even if it's not there, we can use the Shadow Ring instead." Kagami just talk, Kuroko to the head bobble listen to Kagami's chatter.

Fortunately they managed to find a Sport Shop that was not too far from the area, so they did not waste energy looking for Basketball. But somehow intentional or not, they instead met unplanned at all with Aomine and Midorima who were picky shoes.

Where it is a very rare sight, because not usually Midorima and Aomine can walk together like that. Even give each other input to the shoes you want to buy.

"Hey, Kuroko! Akash! And you're a shoe-waster," pointed out Aomine, who was greeting her friends, and he was not at all surprised at the meeting.

"Can't you just call my name, anyway why should I get upset every time I see him." Kagami to the point of frowning, he was a little annoyed to see Aomine.

"I have to dong, for me that's the nickname that's right for you. You have also borrowed my shoes twice" said Aomine, showing two fingers before Kagami's eyes.

"Momo gave it to me, I didn't ask. You're really a hitchhiker huh, do you still not accept your defeat two days ago from me?"

And as usual, Kuroko was quick to stop the debate before the real fight.

"Calm down, guys! We're in a crowd right now, don't make trouble." Kuroko encourages Kagami to stay away from Aomine.

"You shouldn't be fighting about that, Kagami-kun. You came here to buy the ball and play basketball with my Akashi. So, don't make trouble or Akashi will change his mind later." Kuroko tries to influence Kagami to stop her childish behavior, reminding her of Kagami's previous goals.

Aomine who listened to it felt unwelcome, he had long had a desire to face Akashi individually. But even Kagami who get the chance, usually also Akashi is always busy to face duels with them.

"Akashi, just cancel playing basketball with him. Play with me," said Aomine who was still upset with Kagami, because two days ago Kagami managed to beat Aomine in the game Umpet Scene held by Momo. And make Aomine upset all day because it was defeated by Kagami with such a simple game.

"Just kid you, Aomine. Akashi promised me, just set your schedule next time. You see today me and Kuroko have set the schedule first," ketus Kagami who makes them the center of attention again.

And while they are fighting, Kuroko invites Akashi and Midorima to leave the store after buying a new basketball. The three do not want to be tired of stopping Kagami and Aomine again, they deserve to be dubbed as Tom and Jerry his Vorpal Sword.

"Just this time I saw a Kuroko give up, I can imagine how hard it was to be a shadow for the two of them all along." Akashi turned to Kuroko on his left, while Midorima was next to Kanan Akashi and was busy holding a pot whose bottom was blackened. And it seems that Midorima did not buy anything from the store, because there are no shoes suitable for the style.

"That's right, Akashi-kun. But we don't have to worry, they'll catch up." Kuroko who usually never resigned like this even seemed much more resigned in mediating Kagami and Aomine.

"Alright, I understand Kuroko." Akashi smiles. He looked at Midorima.

"Ah Yes, Shintaro. We were kind of surprised to see you with Aomine. What are you guys doing here? ask Akashi.

"He accompanied me to buy new shoes, you know that Aomine has a good taste in shoes. So, I asked her because I needed advice for my own interests."

"Why are you willing to play basketball with them? It's not that you don't like to play outside practice hours and plus you're always busy these days, but I can see you're here right now."

"I just feel bored, after all there is no harm in learning to avoid daily habits."

"Good, then play with me! Just ignore them, surely they will not finish fighting until they feel exhausted. So, you can spend some time playing with me." Midorima made her wish.

"Yes, Akashi. Let me be your referee," bargained Kuroko.

"Alright, you owe me a promise of victory." Akashi smiled with satisfaction, trying not to be too enthusiastic.
