Kuroko no Basket: Honored One

Chapter 468 - 170: You Should Be Like Loki

Of course, the two of them were Tendou and Amanai Riko.

After a laborious night, Riko was still determined to go out with Tendou, even though moving was a bit difficult for her.

She had learned from Tendou that he would soon be returning to that damn Blue Lock facility.

What a scoundrel.

Taking what he wanted and then just leaving. So irresponsible!

Today, she was wearing a newly bought floral dress and her signature white hairband.

There was nothing particularly special about her outfit, but you couldn't argue with her good looks.

Riko's figure wasn't as buxom as Satsuki's, but her strength lay in her long, straight legs, which were exceptionally prominent among Japanese girls.

Tendou gave them a five-star rating!

Beyond that, the most striking thing about Riko was her aura.

Like a lotus flower, elegant and pure.

"Ten... Tendou?!"

The boys were all stunned.

He had betrayed them and gotten such a beautiful girlfriend with a refined aura?!

"Who is this woman!" Chigiri Hyoma slammed the table and shot to his feet.

As soon as he said this, the "real-world audience" of the show immediately started buzzing.

'Hahahaha, the young lady's love rival has appeared!'

'Is he jealous? He's definitely jealous!'

'Oh my god, so there are other female characters in this show?'

'My wife~'

'Tendou, you really deserve to die!'

'Now it's confirmed, Tendou is the director's favorite son! Not only is he super strong, but he even comes with his own designated partner!'

'I don't know why, but I just burst into tears!'

The audience laughed, delighted by Chigiri Hyoma's reaction.

But their attention soon shifted to Riko.

This show had very few female characters to begin with.

The one with the most screen time was Teieri Anri, whose role as the head of Blue Lock meant she was destined not to have any romantic sparks with the other characters.

But with "shipping" culture so prevalent today, no ships meant no ratings.

And so, the production team resorted to queerbaiting.

That's right.

The show Blue Lock had queerbaiting elements, like with Isagi and Bachira, or Chigiri and Kunigami.

Their dialogue could always get some female viewers excited.

Tendou was once an object of their "shipping" as well.

Now that Riko had appeared, these fans burst into tears. Their ships were ruined!

"Oh, aren't these your teammates from Blue Lock, Keigon?"

"Hello everyone, my name is Amanai Riko. I'm Keigon's girlfriend!"

Amanai Riko walked over confidently and introduced herself.

This woman has some nerve. Do I know you?

Chigiri pointed at Amanai Riko and asked, "Hey, Tendou, who is this overly familiar woman?"

"Didn't Riko just say? She's my girlfriend. What's wrong?" Tendou also walked over and found a place to sit.

"Girlfriend... You're a soccer player! You're Blue Lock's No. 1! How can you have a girlfriend? You should be training!"

Amanai Riko paused for a moment, looking at her man.

She had never thought that besides fending off some seductive vixens, she would also have to guard against men.

Suddenly, I have the urge to pinch my man's cheeks. What should I do?

"Soccer players have the right to a private life too. Don't make your own life so monotonous," Tendou said, rolling his eyes where no one could see.

He had put on his signature sunglasses again.

Riko sat down next to him and rested her head on his shoulder, declaring her sovereignty.

Chigiri was helpless.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit off, Reo suggested they all go do something fun.

"Sure, where should we go?"

"How about karaoke?"

"No problem. My singing voice is very trendy."

Aryu Jyubei closed his eyes, a look of intoxication on his face.

The others were already used to it.

Just as they were about to head out, Tendou's recently purchased phone rang.

Who could it be?

Not many people had his number.

He answered.

Teieri Anri's voice came from the other end.

"Tendou, where are you right now?"

"Me? I'm in Shibuya. What's up?"

"There's someone who wants to meet you. You need to come over right away."

Teieri Anri's tone sounded a little urgent. She didn't say much over the phone, just told Tendou to hurry back.

"Looks like I can't go with you guys."

"Need any help?" Reo offered. In Japan, his family still had a certain amount of influence.

"No need. It's probably nothing important."

Tendou turned to his girlfriend, and Riko gave him an understanding nod.

"It's okay, you go take care of your business. I'll head home by myself later."

Tendou tapped her on the head. "You should come with me. After I'm done, I'll take you around some more."

And so.

Tendou returned to Blue Lock.

Teieri Anri led him to a reception room.

Opening the door, Tendou saw Mauricio Pochettino, who hadn't completely lost his shape yet.

Pochettino?

The moment Tendou saw him, he understood what was happening.

"Hi Tendou... Hmm, that should be how I say it, right? Thank God, I've finally met you! Your performance in that match was outstanding! The goals, the assists, the defense... absolutely beautiful!"

He was a seasoned professional. The moment he opened his mouth, it was as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other in a long time, easily closing the distance between them.

"Hello, Mr. Pochettino?"

"Oh, your English is brilliant!" Pochettino said this, but his expression was one of someone who had just seen a ghost.

Because Tendou's English had a London accent.

Pochettino had started coaching Tottenham Hotspur in 2014, and to this day, he still couldn't master an authentic London accent.

This kid's got style!

"Have you been to London?"

"Could it be you've lived in London?"

"I mean, your accent is incredibly standard. You know, our club, Spurs, is a London team. I deal with London fans all the time."

Pochettino was very enthusiastic, chatting with Tendou about this and that.

Then.

He very smoothly transitioned to the main topic.

"Tendou... alright, I think you should get an English name soon. How about Leon? You're as handsome as he is, even more handsome than David Beckham. The girls in London will definitely go crazy for you."

"I'll consider it."

"That's great! You've probably guessed the purpose of my visit, right? Have you made any plans for your future?"

Pochettino began his pitch.

"Not at the moment."

It was true. Right now, Tendou just wanted to clear this "dungeon."

He hadn't really considered a professional career yet.

Pochettino nodded. That made sense. What kind of career plan could a 17-year-old kid have?

Not every genius matures so early.

"I've been studying your game tapes and other materials these past few days. From this information, I can tell you with great responsibility, Tendou, that you shouldn't be wasting your time in low-level matches of no value."

He was referring to all competitions at the youth level.

"You should be challenging a higher-level league, playing against the best in the world!"
