Chapter 196 Rainbow Team
Chapter 196 Rainbow Team
"Ah Bai?" A familiar and clear voice suddenly rang out behind Yu Bai.
Upon hearing the sound, Yu Bai turned around, his gaze instantly drawn to a striking figure.
The person had short, red hair, and heterochromatic eyes that seemed to see into people's hearts—one gold and one red. He wore a jacket from the Imperial Light School uniform, exuding a heroic and extraordinary aura.
Isn't this Akashi Seijuro, whom I met at the Suzuki Group gathering not long ago? Standing neatly beside him are six other boys wearing the same Teiko school uniform.
From a distance, it displays a vibrant array of colors: red, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, and pink.
Good grief, is Xiao Zheng trying to collect the entire Rainbow Team?
"Xiaozheng, I didn't expect to run into you here. Ah, it's been a long time, Atsuya too."
Yu Bai smiled gently at Akashi Seijuro and Murasakibara Atsushi.
Atsushi Murasakibara, center of the Generation of Miracles. He loves snacks and is 208cm tall, a height that Yu Bai has to look up to.
Looking back on his childhood, Akashi Seijuro was classmates with Murasakibara Atsushi in elementary school, and the two had a good relationship.
Yu Bai, who was Akashi Seijuro's childhood friend, naturally met Murasakibara Atsushi at that time.
Even when he was still in elementary school, Atsushi Murasakibara was already much taller than his peers.
Although he sometimes looks expressionless and a bit fierce, Yu Bai knows that the person in front of him is a very easy child to coax.
Therefore, after meeting several times and being bombarded with snacks by Yu Bai, Murasakibara Atsushi had a deep impression of Yu Bai, and his favorability towards her increased significantly.
"Bai Zai, long time no see. Why are you still so short? Here, have some. You need to eat more to grow taller."
As Murasakibara Atsushi kept putting a delicious stick into his mouth with one hand, he looked down at Yu Bai, who had a smile on his face, and said this.
After saying that, he took out his favorite delicious stick from his school uniform pocket, tore open the packaging, and handed it to Yu Bai's mouth.
"...That's well said, but don't say it again. Besides, I'm not short! Is it possible that you're just too tall?"
Yu Bai, who was immediately told he was short, instantly felt his fists harden.
He's definitely not short! I'll emphasize again, he's not short!
Although there are usually many sword spirits in the citadel that are taller than him, his current height is not short at all, and could even be described as tall, as a middle school student.
Of course, this is nothing compared to Atsushi Murasakibara.
This guy is purely gifted; his height is comparable to that of the great swords in the citadel.
"Besides, these are snacks, eating more of them won't help you grow taller."
He took a bite of the delicious stick that was pressed against his lips with a disgruntled expression, and finished it in two or three bites.
To be fair, it's no wonder this snack connoisseur loves it; the taste is pretty good.
Akashi Seijuro saw Yu Bai chewing on a delicious stick while looking sullen. A hint of a smile flashed in his heterochromatic eyes, and then he spoke gently to Yu Bai.
"I saw three people standing next to you just now, but I couldn't be sure. When I came over, I saw that it was you."
This gentle attitude surprised the other six people standing next to Akashi Seijuro.
The group looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.
There's no other reason than that Akashi Seijuro's attitude is now frighteningly mild, which wouldn't have been a problem before.
However, ever since their captain, the leader of the Generation of Miracles, blossomed in the first semester, they have never experienced such a mild state again.
After blooming, the squad leader is someone who can intimidate his entire rainbow team.
So now, seeing Akashi Seijuro treat someone like this, they simply can't believe it.
His sharp aura softened up completely!
What? After three years as teammates, all I can't earn in return is your kindness?
Although the team leader in the previous two years was also very gentle.
But without comparison, there is no harm. Now, whenever he faces Akashi Seijuro in a practice match, he will make himself kneel down.
Don’t we want to lose face?
And what about Atsushi Murasakibara? When have they ever seen this "giant" who loves snacks so much that he would share his favorite food and carefully open the outer packaging before feeding him?
Normally, he's extremely possessive of his food, but now he's not so possessive of it when facing this silver-haired boy. (Shared)
In an instant, the others' interest in Yu Bai had reached its peak.
Looking at those several pairs of bright eyes, each with an "eight" written in its left eye and a "divination" in its right, Yu Bai couldn't help but chuckle.
At that moment, Ryota Kise couldn't help but jump out: "Hey hey hey~ Captain, Murasakibara, who is he? Is he your friend?"
As a model, Ryota Kise has a strikingly handsome face.
In addition, her lively and cheerful personality makes her very popular.
He himself has always known that he is good-looking, and that his teammates are also good-looking.
However, he never expected to see Yu Bai's appearance today, which was so exquisite that it seemed otherworldly.
If this were in the entertainment industry, it would probably drive people of all ages and genders crazy.
Looking at Ryota Kise in front of him, who resembled a golden retriever, Yu Bai could even hallucinate the constantly wagging tail behind him.
This made Yu Bai's smile deepen: "Pfft~ Xiao Zheng, are these your teammates?"
"Okay, let me introduce you." After hearing Yu Bai's words, Akashi Seijuro patiently introduced the six people beside him one by one.
"This is Daiki Aomine, Ryota Kise, Shintaro Midorima, and Tetsuya Kuroko. Also, this is our manager, Satsuki Momoi."
Yu Bai carefully observed the six people and discovered an interesting phenomenon: their names and hair colors actually corresponded, except for Kuroko Tetsuya.
Despite having the surname "Kuroko" in his name, he possessed short, beautiful light blue hair just like Ichigo Hitofuri, which made Yu Bai glance at Kuroko Tetsuya a few more times.
Kuroko Tetsuya, who was being watched by Yu Bai, also looked at Yu Bai with some surprise. Because of his very weak presence, he was often ignored by people in his daily life.
Even his own teammates sometimes unconsciously ignore him unless he deliberately tries to make his presence known.
They are known as the Generation of Miracles, but it's always the other five who get interviewed because the reporters can't see him at all.
He eventually even earned the nickname "Phantom Sixth Man".
However, the very handsome silver-haired boy in front of him noticed him from the very beginning.
It was as if the problem of her own lack of presence did not exist in Yu Bai's eyes at all.
And you still say that he's worthy of being Captain Akashi's friend?
Back then, the ability he now uses to "guide the eye" on the court by leveraging his presence was developed by Captain Akashi.
From the moment Aomine Daiki introduced him to Captain Akashi, Akashi Seijuro observed him just as easily.
"Hello."
Kuroko Tetsuya nodded politely to Yu Bai, showing his goodwill towards the silver-haired boy who could see him.
Yu Bai responded with a smile, "Hello, I'm Yu Bai. I'm also a friend of Seiji and Murasakibara Atsushi. It's nice to meet you, Kuroko."
……
Yu Bai: Although I've seen them in previous matches, I've never observed them this close. So their names even correspond to their hair? But why isn't that guy with black hair? (It's driving my OCD crazy!)
Murasakibara: Chew, chew, chew, I'm telling you, Shiro, chew, chew, chew, why are you still so short? Chew, chew, chew, come on, eat some delicious sticks, chew, chew, chew, chew, chew, grow taller.
Yu Bai: My fist is hard, really hard!
