Chapter 3: Good News but...?

(Hey everyone! Finally, chapter 3 is here! Hope you enjoy it!! Do comment :)

-Previously-

"Aren't you a bit slow, Bakagami? I'm sure the rest of them already know who she is." Riko and Hyuga frown at the same time and rage slightly at Kagami.

Kagami stares at them like they are crazy, then turns to Furihata for information.

"There's nothing in this book about her, Kagami." Furihata unhappily tells the larger male.

Inside his heart, Kuroko smiles as he remembered Hikari san's notebook showing:

That's because I am the '秘密サイレント七' member of the Generation of Miracles.

Hikari's POV

After that day, I've been going to the gym to watch the basketball team for the next four days. I see a slight improvement in their plays on the third day, I'm happy! Of course, I have a new set of notes for Riko senpai. Today is the day that I have to tell them my choice, but now, it's time for class.

As I reach the entrance of the school, I spotted Kuro kun.

"Kuro kun! I have good news for you and the team, but I can't tell you now~!" I exclaimed happily as I see a small amused smile on his face.

"Hai, let's go to class, Hikari san." Kuro kun pointed to the staircase

I nodded while holding his hand and headed towards the staircase. We climbed up together. I giggled as Kuro kun tried to keep up.

Normal POV

As the two entered their class, the teacher was already inside, going through the name list. Once their names were called, they answered, frightening the teacher.

After the teacher composed himself, he started class.

-CLASS END, BASKETBALL PRACTICE-

Hikari waited for Kuroko to pack his bag, her bag on her shoulder.

"Kuro kun! Are you done?" Hikari whined as the blunette was taking quite a while to finish packing. She grumbled and helped the slow boy. Once done, they both ran towards the gym. Kuroko pushed open the door and headed towards the changing room while Hikari followed behind, then walked to where Riko is.

"Riko senpai!" Hikari greeted cheerfully while Riko screamed and sweat dropped.

"I have good news for everyone today." the smaller female glanced at Riko with a smile.

Riko nodded and held her pink whistle with her fingers and blew on it, causing everyone to stop and look in her direction.

"Gather around, Hikari chan has news for us," Riko instructed the members as they crowded in front of Riko.

"Alright, first thing, I have good news. But I have a condition for this good news, which do you want to listen to first?" Hikari announces with a serious look on her face as she crosses her arms over her chest.

Everyone started mumbling but they settled to listen to the good news first.

"Good choice. I've decided to be the manager of your team." She announces with a smile, earning cheers and smiles from the members

"BUT..." She trails off, causing everyone to calm down and listen carefully.

"I get to play in games against the members of the Generation of Miracles." She continues with an angry tone as she mentions the three words like they were taboo words.

Riko and Hyuga's eyes widen in shock and they look at each other.

"I'll give you some time to consider. If you don't agree with the condition, I'm sorry but you'll have to find another student willing to be the manager." She gives a closed-eye smile but opens her eyes and glances at Kuroko as he also had a slightly shocked face but regained his composure. With a bow, she turned to Riko to pass her the new set of notes and left without uttering another word...

(A/N: what will Riko and Hyuga do? Will they agree to Hikari's condition? Also, Hikari unexpectedly sees her distant cousin soon... I wonder who?)
