HIS PROBLEM

Chapter 4:

"Is this what you are trying to say to me, Tsuki?" Tetsuya raise a book that he had bought in a bookshop.

Tsukina lifts her head up, her gaze away from the documents in her hand. She stares at the book of manipulating gazes, sleight of hand that is what the magician calls it. "Have you realized your mistake?"

"But this is a bit different from doing it with basketball," Tetsuya remarks as he sits next to his sister in the dining table. He places the book on top of the table and sighs.

Tsukina rumples the hair of her twin. "You have little to no presence at all. Sleight the gaze of the opponent away from you is going to be easy-peasy. Just concentrate and move one step ahead of them, then it will all fall into place." She then continues reading the papers in her hand. She needs to finished this and let her father's secretary pick it up in the mailbox tomorrow. She is so busy with everything since she has been placed in the first string permanently which is like a pain in the ass. She likes to crack the skull of the person behind this.

"How can you put your one hundred percent trust on my abilities?" Tetsuya queries glumly. He stares at the company documents in the table and sulks even more.

"Because you are my twin," Tsukina answers with a warm smile. "Whatever you want to do, I will support you one hundred percent except for killing yourself or someone. Did you even doubt my ability to read one's capabilities?"

Tetsuya shakes his head. "That's one thing why father let you handle some work in the company."

"You will also do some work in the future. I just started earlier than you." Tsukina glances at her brother as he tries to understand the complicated company papers. Tetsu will handle a different part of the business, somewhere where his passion and compassion will be needed. "Since I can't go to the third gym, I suggest that you practice with the third string players and then through the street. Make people unnoticed you on purpose."

"But, trickery has some time, doesn't it?"

"So bright, Tetsu," Tsukina teases and smirks. "Yes, sleight of hand has some time limit. That's why as much as possible magicians have limits on their show. You can never fool a lot of people but before they notice they are already fooled beyond point." As much as possible she wants to help her brother attain his dreams even if it is hard for him. If giving him suggestions and lectures then she will do it until he has the nerve to make the move himself.

"Then..."

"Basketball doesn't only have five players. There are bench players that will change with you to remove the attention from you," Tsukina remarks. There's no way Tetsuya can play the whole game with his stamina and ability having time limit then going in between games will be the best scheme against opponents.

"Why don't you go home for a few days and practice with the servants and practice it with them? I am sure playing properly with someone on basketball will make your concept move faster than my suggestion earlier." The Kuroko main house is not far from here. It also has a basketball court in the land and it will help her brother be at ease playing with familiar opponents.
