[Please Read] ★ This is a side story separate from the main plots of Kuroko's Basketball and The Prince of Tennis. Please treat it as a parallel world. ★ Cornflowers are Yukimura's birth flowers, and umbrella flowers are Akashi's, so the real title of this story is "Yukimura and Akashi." ★ Yukimura and Akashi met in kindergarten.
