Chapter 110 Return
“You’re awake, Kuroko.” In the hospital ward, Kuroko Zheya woke up slowly.

“It’s you, Akashi-kun.” Kuroko Tetsuya sat up, lowered his head, and looked very depressed.

“You are too reckless. With your physique, you actually ran to defend the opponent’s forward line.” Akashi Seijuro’s cold voice did not contain a trace of emotion. “Fortunately, there is nothing serious. You just need to recuperate. I don’t think you will be able to make it to the national finals.”

“I understand, Akashi-kun, I’m really sorry for causing trouble to everyone.” Kuroko Tetsuya felt the depressing atmosphere in front of him, and suddenly felt dizzy and lay back involuntarily.

“Come to think of it, you had a friend who came to see you before.” Akashi Seijuro actually remembered something and said slowly, “It was our opponent in the finals, Mingguang Middle School.”

“Meiko Junior High School…Ogiwara!” Kuroko Tetsuya’s originally confused thoughts gradually became clear.

“You should have a good rest, Tetsuya.” Akashi Seijuro slowly stood up, “We will come to see you with the championship trophy.”

After saying that, Akashi Seijuro turned around and walked out of the ward.

“Akagi-kun!” As if he had made some kind of decision, Kuroko Tetsuya mustered up the courage to call out to Akashi Seijuro.

“What’s wrong?” Akashi Seijuro turned around and looked at Kuroko Tetsuya expressionlessly, “Is there anything else?”

“Akagi-kun…” Kuroko Tetsuya clutched the blanket tightly, as if grasping the last straw to save his life, with a pleading look in his eyes, “Next game, please… I beg you! You must take it seriously! You must do your best to finish this game!”

“Oh?” Akashi Seijuro’s expression slightly changed, “Is it because your friends are here?”

“…Please! Akashi-kun!” Kuroko Tetsuya lowered his head with red eyes.

“Even if the final score difference is incredibly big, even enough to destroy their belief in basketball, it doesn’t matter?” Akashi Seijuro looked at Kuroko Tetsuya with his eyes slightly narrowed.

“No matter what… please! Akashi-kun!” Kuroko Tetsuya’s mind was blank at this moment, and he could only repeat this sentence over and over again.

“Okay, I understand.” Akashi Seijuro suddenly smiled, then turned and walked out of the ward.

As Akashi Seijuro left the ward, Kuroko Tetsuya felt the huge sense of oppression hanging over his head dissipate. It was only then that Kuroko Tetsuya realized that his back was soaked with sweat.

……

“Sir? Sir?”

“Huh? Who is it? What’s going on?” Kaneki Ken was half asleep when he suddenly felt someone patting his shoulder. He took off his blindfold and muttered unhappily.

“Sir, we have landed.” The flight attendant smiled professionally, “Tokyo is the final destination, sir.”

“Ah, we’re here.” Kaneki Ken stretched, “Sorry, I’ll leave now.”

After saying that, Kaneki Ken stood up, took his backpack from the luggage rack and walked out of the cabin.

“Oh, this is so boring. Do you want to go back to school now?” Kaneki Ken didn’t tell anyone when he came back, so naturally no one picked him up at the airport.

“Hurry, hurry, pack your luggage. The finals between Teiko Junior High School and Meiko Junior High School are about to begin. We will take a taxi directly to Tokyo Gymnasium later.” A couple passing by Kaneki Ken were looking at their phones, and the boy said impatiently.

“They are really rich. They took a taxi from such a long distance.” Kaneki Ken complained and searched Tokyo Sports News on his phone. “Well, the game will start in an hour? Then we have to take a taxi.”

“I wish you a pleasant ride, please give a five-star rating!”

Soon, the taxi brought Kaneki Ken to the entrance of Tokyo Gymnasium.

“Long time no see, Tokyo Gymnasium.” Kaneki Ken said with emotion as he looked at the expanded gymnasium in front of him.

“Hey, look at that person, he’s so tall…”

“Is it from the basketball team?”

“That shouldn’t be the case. After all, he’s not wearing a uniform…”

“Why do I feel like he looks familiar…” “You see, all handsome guys look familiar.”

Kaneki Ken’s 2-meter tall figure now stands out on the streets of Japan, and his handsome face makes the girls passing by blush.

“Hey, that’s…” Aida Yako, who was reporting before the game, accidentally saw a familiar figure and called out tentatively, “Kaneki Ken?”

“Huh? Who called me?” Kaneki Ken heard someone calling his name. He looked around and saw an old acquaintance.

“Hey, it’s you!” Kaneki Ken walked over with a smile, “It’s been a long time since we last met. You’ve become more beautiful.”

“Kaneki-san has changed a lot.” Aida Miko chuckled, “Kaneki-san has disappeared in the past two years, which has caused a lot of traffic to our Tokyo Sports News.”

“I’m back now~” Kaneki Ken said with a smile, “If you want to interview me, you can do it now!”

“Haha, there will be a chance.” Aida Miko skipped over the topic without leaving a trace, “Kaneki-san, are you here to watch the game?”

“Otherwise, you can’t be here to eat yakitori.” Kaneki Ken shrugged, not caring about Aida Miko’s attitude that some people were indifferent to him. “I’m going in, you guys get busy.”

“Have you bought the ticket, Kaneki-san?” asked Aida Yako.

“Huh? I need to buy a ticket to enter this crappy stadium?” Kaneki Ken asked in surprise, hooking his sunglasses off his nose with his fingers.

“Haha, I just happen to have two friends and family tickets.” Aida Yako took out a ticket from her pocket, “Kaneki-san, come in quickly, this ticket also allows you to visit the locker room! Teiko Junior High School has been amazing in the past two years. If we win again today, we will successfully complete the achievement of winning the championship three times in a row and create the first dynasty in junior high school history!”

“Thank you~” Kaneki Ken smiled and shook the ticket in his hand, then turned and walked into the gymnasium.

“Um… Senior Aida…” The photographer beside him looked at Kaneki Ken walking away and said in confusion, “This is not a profit-making competition. You don’t need to buy tickets to enter such public facilities…”

“Idiot, if I don’t say this, how can I do a favor?” Aida Yako rolled her eyes at her junior. “I originally thought Kaneki Ken retired from basketball because of an injury, but now it seems that his physical condition is so good. Shouldn’t we take this opportunity to leave a good impression on him? He will definitely be someone who can be easily influenced in the future. It’s always a good idea to build a good relationship with him first!”

“Yes, senior.” The photographer nearby said he had learned something.

……

“You’re awake, Tetsu-kun.” When Kuroko Tetsuya woke up again, only Momoi Satsuki was waiting for him.

“How did the game go?” Kuroko Zheya asked, enduring a severe headache.

“Oh, I don’t know. Anyway, he will definitely win, so I didn’t watch it.” Tao Jing Mayu said softly, “Tetsu-kun, you should have a good rest. Akashi-kun promised you that he would fight well and he will definitely not break his promise~”

“I know, Momoi-san.” Kuroko Tetsuya suppressed his panic and forced a smile, “Can you turn on the TV so I can watch it?”

“Ah? Isn’t it bad?” Tao Jing Satsuki hesitated, “The doctor specifically told you to rest…”

“Please, Momoi-san!” Kuroko Tetsuya pleaded.

“Oh, okay…” Taoi Satsuki sighed and turned on the TV.

“Beautiful! Murasakibara-san scored with a powerful dunk! Teiko Junior High School seemed to be particularly serious today, and their defense was particularly strong! After three quarters, they only allowed Meiko Junior High School to score 7 points…” On TV, Tashiro Heihachi’s familiar voice reached Kuroko Tetsuya’s ears, making him feel even more panicked.

“Why… I clearly feel this… but… this feeling of incongruity…” For some reason, Kuroko Zheya felt that there was something inexplicably weird about the game on the screen.

“That’s it!” Suddenly, the camera accidentally swept across a corner. Although it was just a flash, Kuroko Tetsuya was sure that he was not mistaken, “Kaneki! Kaneki-kun is back!”

Kuroko Zheya could no longer suppress his emotions. He staggered off the bed and ran out of the hospital.

“Tetsu-kun! Where are you going?” Seeing this, Momoi Satsuki hurriedly followed behind Kuroko Tetsuya and shouted loudly.

But at this time, Kuroko Zheya turned a deaf ear to him, running hard, with tears flowing silently from his eyes.

There will be the fourth chapter in the early morning. Well, if you want to read it, just stay up for a while. If you don’t want to read it, it’s the same if you read it tomorrow morning. Then in the next two days, I will sort out the current data table of the Age of Miracles, and then write down each skill and badge clearly.
