STEPBROTHER (HAIKYUU X KUROKO NO BASKETBALL SUMMER CAMP)

"I don't know about your family matters, but obviously I'm really sorry for Akashi's rather exaggerated attitude before." Ushijima bowed politely to Grandma Akashi whom he considered the old man. But it seems, Ushijima's polite attitude was not well received by the Grandmother.

He pointed outwards, "That child is really brash, How could my daughter raise such a shameful son." Akashi's grandmother immediately turned to Ushijima, "Who are you? You shouldn't have defended the boy, he's shameless." Grandma's voice echoed in the Living Room, her fiery anger as if she did not stop blaming Akashi for the death of her youngest daughter.

Unlike Ushijima who seemed unhappy at the words just now. Now, his respectful and sympathetic feelings towards Grandma instantly faded into a feeling of anger. He did not accept seeing his sister considered as despicable by the Grandmother.

"Why is Akashi's poem, he must be ashamed to have had such a pathetic Grandma like you. People who are not good at talking are polite and do not have an adab to respect others. I wonder, how could an Akashi Seijuro have a much better attitude than his Grandma? Is it possible that Akashi's mother was the one who was great at educating him," Ushijima's sharp lead who no longer cares how his Grandmother Akashi feels today.

"So what you say! You're as brash as that kid, '" said Akashi's grandmother.

"You should also be able to keep your word! I will not hesitate to shower you with all kinds of swearing, if until I listen you consider my sister contempt." Ushijima pointed to his Grandma Akashi.

And Grandma had not been able to reply to Ushijima's words, even Ushijima first made him silent as if he could not bear the turmoil of his anger anymore.

"I think it is enough for her to live in the shadow of your hatred, for she herself never asked to be born into this World in the womb of your Daughter. I'm really sick of it now, it's so sickening to see you guys keep pouring all your anger on him."

Ushijima immediately left from there, he was tired of seeing the faces of the adults in front of him. Rather than later do reckless that even ended up harming him, he chose to leave the House and hurriedly approached Akashi who was waiting for him outside.

"Let's go!" take Ushijima to Akashi who says nothing, he pulls Akashi's arm away from the House to any direction. Perhaps what Ushijima was thinking now was to leave the area immediately, before Akashi would be re-ignited by the flames of anger.

"Next time you have to keep your attitude," Ushijima snapped, still carried away by emotions, his intention was that he only wanted to advise Akashi not to do as determined as before.

However, Akashi did not understand Ushijima's meaning. He instantly removed Ushijima's hand from her. "I don't want to listen to your complaint, Ushijima-San. If only you hadn't gotten in my way, I'd have kept him quiet from the start."

"You kidding? You certainly know that violence will not produce anything, after all, she is just an old grandmother. So, stop blaming me!" ushijima.

"I'm sorry, it seems like I'm really irrational right now. I shouldn't have thought badly of you, "sorry Akashi who immediately lowered his head in a rather slow step.

"You're not wrong, you deserve to be angry like that. It's my job to stop you anyway, I promised you I wouldn't let you out of control." Ushijima walked behind Akashi, slowing down twice as much as Akashi. The goal is that he does not want to look at the sad face of Akashi which is even sad in his eyes.

"I shouldn't have met Yuki-san, I definitely don't feel this angry. If only I had listened to what you and Keita's secretary said, "Akashi lamented as he stared at the blue clouds in the sky. It is not usual for an Akashi to admit his mistake like this, usually also Akashi insists that he is absolute and always right in terms of words and deeds.

It seemed that as time went on, he began to obtain many things that he had not obtained in the life of a noble. And now, he began to develop to learn to admit his own mistakes and improve his personality as hard as a rock.

"I don't really consider him my brother, Ushijima-San. And that's what Papa had been hoping for" said Akashi, who immediately turned to look at Ushijima. This time, he tried to smile behind his feelings of sadness.

"I've found the answer to all my doubts, Ushijima-san."

"What's that?" ask Ushijima.

"I will learn to decide my own way of life, I am the one who should be entitled to my own life. I will stop walking on the predetermined fate line Papa, I will also stop being a trophy display for him. I don't think that's what Mama wanted all this time, she's given me a chance at life to make me free to choose my own future."

Ushijima smiled, "If that's what you think, I will support your decision."

"Yes, you have to support me. You should have acted that way, you're my brother. You're the only family I can trust right now."

"Good, then let's enjoy the view of Osaka now. I'm really tired of seeing your family's drama, it feels sick." Ushijima put his hand on Akashi's boat.

"Let's buy some Takoyaki before we go back to Tokyo!" take Ushijima.

"Will you come back? Don't you want to explore this city, Ushijima-san?" tanya Akashi, he still remembers Ushijima was amazed at the beauty of Osaka city.

"For a long time here will only hurt him, we better get back to Tokyo soon. Anyway, I don't want to see Mr. Masoami more angry if I don't find us at Home. He must have known our current whereabouts" Ushijima choked in his mind, before he rejected Akashi's offer to stay in Osaka.

He really did not want to make things difficult for Akashi any further, it was enough that Akashi was mentally destroyed by the incident.

"Yes, if that's your decision. Let's find Takoyaki to eat on the way home!" take Akashi for a change, both of them immediately set foot to leave the place.

Every now and then Akashi glances at his Handphone which contains a notification from his father asking him to go home immediately, he tries to keep Ushijima from knowing this at all. And somehow it feels like he does not want to be too rushed home at this time, he just wants to linger outside so as not to face the father.
