Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 96 I want to practice basketball with my brother
On Saturday morning, it was Naruse's turn to prepare breakfast.

Even though he had to go out, he and Shangzi didn't get up too early, the wind and snow outside the house filled the air, and they both fell asleep until they woke up naturally.

Naruse: Are you going to wear a uniform today?

Shangzi: It is more appropriate to wear a uniform when going to school or going to a concert at a civic center.

Naruse: Then wear it.

Putting down the phone, getting dressed and getting up, Shangzi waved to him from the other side through two windows.

Go downstairs, wash up, prepare breakfast, and she will come over soon.

"Breakfast has just started."

"I'm here to help."

"Is there any point in taking turns making breakfast?"

She smiled and didn't stop what she was doing, "What are you eating today?"

"I'll see what's left..."

Not long after the two had breakfast, Hikari Takikawa came to the door and rang the doorbell.

"Good morning, have you had breakfast yet?"

"Ate."

"Then go out, the bus is coming soon."

The three of them went out together, Hikaru Takikawa still had a bag in his hand, which contained basketball uniforms.

"It must be very cold just wearing basketball uniforms." After all, the prefectural Tianjin High School is no better than a private one. There is no air conditioning in the gymnasium.

"It's a little cold when I just change clothes, but it's okay when I move."

She smiled at the two of them, "Chunhai and Shangzi come to play later, it will warm up."

While waiting for the bus, Takigawa Hikaru said that Takikawa Tsuki had also woken up, but he would study at home in the morning and go to juku in the afternoon.

"It's more than one month for the common exam."

"Yes."

"Time is getting tighter and tighter," Naruse said.

She looked at the sky and slowly exhaled a cloud of white mist, "Yes."

When they arrived at the school, Hikari Takikawa went to the gymnasium to warm up, while Naruse and Naoko went to the air-conditioned club room.

There are a few members who live close by, and they will come here to stay on weekends.

One of the seniors set her sights on Naruse.

"Narase, you came at a good time, come and help me see if there is any problem with the road map on this strategy."

"What roadmap..."

He glanced over and was slightly taken aback, "Tokyo?"

The above are all sites in Tokyo.

"Yes."

He glanced quickly, and his eyes fell on the terminal, "Tokyo International Exhibition Center... Senior sister is going to participate in the winter CM?"

"It can be seen from this, it is worthy of studying in Tokyo!"

"..."

"It's the first time for Xiaoai and I to go to Tokyo, and we're completely unfamiliar with it. Is this strategy okay?"

Naruse looked at it carefully again, combined with the Tokyo railway line in his memory, and quickly made a judgment.

"There is no problem with the route, and you can reach your destination. However, I think that instead of getting off the Shinkansen at Tokyo Station, walking a long way, and then taking a bus there, it is better to get off at Ueno, then take the Ueno Tokyo Line, and transfer to Seagull Wire."

"Wait a minute—on what?"

"Ueno."

"What wild?"

"...I'll write it down."

After re-planning the route for the two seniors who planned to go to Tokyo to participate in the winter CM during the winter vacation, Naruse and Naoko sat for a while until Hikari Takikawa sent a message.

"Let's go."

"Ah."

And in the corridor leading to the gymnasium, the two met a large group of children who came to participate in basketball learning today.

These children basically come from several nearby nursery schools. According to Hikari Takikawa, there are more than 30 of them, and most of them are crowded in the corridor at this time, looking at the playground.

"Amazing--"

"I've never seen a snowman that big!"

"Is it ten meters high?"

Passing among these children, listening to their exclamation, Naruse and Naoko smiled at each other and looked towards the playground.

The boys from the track and field department finally piled up a giant snowman nearly six meters high, but the figure is slender, not as round as ordinary snowmen.

On the side of the snowman facing the main building, there is a calligraphy banner hanging.

【One mind not disturbed】

"It doesn't look like it's cheering up the brass band."

"Although everyone in the school knows it..."

Walking into the gymnasium, on the basketball court, members of the women's basketball team are warming up, but the basketballs used are much smaller than usual.

"Basketball for kids..."

Naruse looked around, and the basketball hoops placed beside him were also very low.

"Spring Sea!"

He followed the prestige, and a basketball was thrown towards him, and he caught it firmly.

Hikaru Takikawa smiled, and had already changed into a basketball uniform, "It's cute, I've never used such a small basketball before."

boom!boom!
Naruse took two shots on the spot, then aimed at the basket in the distance, and made a jump shot.

The basketball hit the backboard and bounced into the hoop, Shangzi clapped his hands.

"That's not bad." Hikaru Takikawa's smile was a little more surprised, "It's still such a small ball to make a shot from such a distance."

"Good luck," Naruse said.

She picked up the basketball and threw it over again. Naruse made another shot on the spot, and it still went in.

"It's really lucky this time..."

"I want that kind of luck too."

Today, those who are in charge of teaching the children are all members of the basketball club, and there are quite a few adults here, but they are only in suits and leather shoes, so they obviously don't end up on the court.

"The news department is here too." Shangzi reminded softly, Naruse looked over and saw a somewhat familiar figure on the other side of the basketball court.

"The news department...that who."

"Well, the one who asked us to repair the dictionary... who."

Neither of them remembered the name of the news agency reporter who had come to interview them before.

After a while, today's teaching activities finally started, and the first item was that the women's basketball team donated children's basketballs and basketball stands to several nurseries nearby.

"Is this the arrangement of the school?"

"probably."

Click!Click!
The reporters of the news agency became active at this time, constantly taking pictures.

Naruse and Shangzi wanted to hide in a corner, but a teacher noticed them and pulled them over to take a group photo together, standing in a very conspicuous position.

Naruse held the ball and smiled, "Why..."

"Look at the camera—"

Click!

After the handover ceremony, the teaching staff left quickly, and only the teachers and students of the women's basketball team and the nursery school were left in the stadium, and the basketball teaching officially began.

More than 30 children were divided into six or seven groups, and one or two members of the basketball team in each group were in charge of teaching, starting from the most basic standing posture and holding the ball.

"Pay attention to my posture: feet shoulder-width apart."

Hikaru Takikawa held the ball, posed in the most standard standing posture, and scanned the children in front of him.

"Can't you start playing basketball yet?" one of the kids asked.

"Do you play basketball?"

She smiled slightly, threw and caught the basketball, and the basketball was spinning steadily at her fingertips, which immediately attracted the attention of all the children.

"Wow……"

"Want to learn?"

"Uh-huh!"

The basketball stopped spinning and fell steadily into her palm.

"Then you have to listen to me, okay?"

"Uh-huh!"

"First of all, keep your feet shoulder-width apart and maintain this posture. I'm coming to check."

Naruse and Shangzi were invited by her, so naturally they stood by her side and watched.

"It feels like Guang gets acquainted with the children very quickly."

"Yes."

After learning the standing posture and basic ball-holding posture, Hikari Takikawa then taught passing.

They were all just beginners, so she only taught the direct pass, and then practiced passing the ball to each other.

"Chunhai, Shangzi, you guys also pass the ball together."

Being idle is idle, and standing still is cold, the two agreed to come down, and each "led" a child.

"Spring Sea—"

After receiving the basketball thrown by Hikaru Takigawa, Naruse smiled at the little girl in front of him, "It's about to start."

"Hmm..." Her face turned red all of a sudden.

"I'm shy." Shangzi leaned over and gently squeezed him aside, "Let me teach her, and Chunhai will teach that child."

boom!
Naruse dribbled the ball and came to another child.

"I want to practice with my sister."

"No, boys have to practice with boys. Catch—"

"..."

Looking at Naruse who walked aside, the shy little girl also muttered, "I want to practice with my brother..."

Shangzi smiled, "No."
