The Unnamed Queen of Prophecy

It Makes me Laugh

Just as the buzzer sounded, Akashi scored one last basket. Signalling the end of the game.

The game is over!

With a score of 86 to 70,

Rakuzan High wins!

"Bow!"

"Thank you!"

The stadium clapped to show the players how much they were willing to give for the game.

You lowered your gaze, 'Shin-kun...You did your best.'

The Rakuzan players seemed relieved they had won, it made you ponder on what Akashi had said earlier, 'It seems the pressure of being the best exceeds imagination. Simply put, they cannot lose. It's a fate of an emperor.'

Seirin's manager noticed Midorima and Akashi speaking to each other after the game. The star shooter wanted to shake hands but it seemed as if Akashi wanted to stay as enemies instead.

Now, it was time for Seirin and Kaijo to properly warm up before their match against each other.

You were seen smiling at Kasamatsu from afar before someone with a basketball in their hand lightly tapped your head, "Don't go around and staring at our opponents!"

"Gah! T-Taiga!" You flinched at seeing him catch you red handed, "I wasn't staring..." you made a poker face.

"What a horrible poker face!" He retorted, comically picking you up by your collar, "Please forgive me!" You apologized.

Kagami only huffed, "If you like Kise's captain so much then, why don't you go and join his team and be their manager instead?!"

"HAAAAH?!" You yelled in disbelief by his words.

"WOAH! WOAH! You think I'll really take on that offer—"

You stared at Kasamatsu before gasping when he almost noticed your staring and looked away.

"Actually, I'll take up on that offer—"

"NO! YOU ARE NOT TAKING THAT OFFER!" Hyuga intercepted.

"And Kagami! Let her go! She's got to organize the bench with the coach!" The captain of Seirin threw a basketball at Kagami's head, "Ow! Sorry...!" making him let go of you.

Izuki gasped at seeing Hyuga throw a basketball at the first year, "Hyuga! You're going to give him a concussion! You might've hit (Y/N)-chan as well!"

You cackled when seeing your friend get into trouble, "(Y/N)-san, do not forget you started this." Kuroko spooked you for the first time, "GAH! O-Oh! Tetsu-kun. S-Sorry...!"

You went to help Riko with the bench before hearing a yell, "Last!" It was Kasamatsu speaking to Kise, tossing a ball to him.
