[Black Basket] Sakura's Basketball

Every year at the beginning of school, I have to squeeze in front of the poster to read the class classification. I can't figure out what kind of ghost system this is.I turned my eyeballs aside, let out a breath, and sucked them flat with a carton of lemon tea, waiting for the crowd to disperse.

"Sakura──" last year's good girl next year Asakawa Nanmi trotted over, with rosy cheeks, "Good morning!"

"Good morning." I raised my hand to her, "I have put the drawing in the art room, I have something to do and can't come today, sorry."

"No no, today is the basketball club's birthday, right? Thanks to Akashi-san, the club admissions won't be crowded in the morning." Asakawa Nanmi held her schoolbag in both hands, and smiled with her eyes crooked. Leaning over, "Sakura~We are also in the same class this year, both in Class [-]. That's great!"

I smiled, "Yes, thank you." She came here to help me check the class placement, so I took out the chocolate in my schoolbag and handed it to her, "Happy new school year."

"Thank you." Asakawa Nanmi raised a sweet smile, "Ah, this brand is delicious. Sakura can always find delicious and beautiful things. The store you mentioned last time, the color of the paint is very special Well. I bought it in one go," she held out her palm, "five boxes!" Asakawa Nanmei smiled awkwardly, "I'm a little impulsive, and it will deteriorate after a long time. But," she laughed again, "beautiful Color always wants to stay."

"I'm not a foodie." I twitched the corner of my mouth, "The paints in that store are handmade, so the color of each box will be slightly different."

"Is it human?" Asakawa Nanmi tilted her head with a smile, "So, Sakura's color is always very special."

I raised my eyebrows, "You can learn to do it yourself. Shall we go together?"

"Yeah? Really? That's great."

I smiled, "If you have a lot of paint, just use it up."

"Yes! If you think about it this way, wow, the subjects you want to draw are pouring out..."

I haggarded a bit.I'm often short of topics.

When we went to the locker to get indoor shoes together, I was about to put down my schoolbag, but someone took it away first.

"Good morning, Takahashi." Akashi Seijuro smiled at me and said, "Asakawa-san, good morning, we are in the same class this year, please give me your advice."

"Aka, Akashi-san," Asakawa Nanmi blushed slightly, "Good morning. Saki, Sakura, I'll go up first!" She winked at me, and ran away with small steps.

Wasn't she still obsessed with Akashi last year, now she doesn't want to be a light bulb.I turned my face away and changed my shoes silently, while Akashi quietly waited aside.The students were greeting each other, coming and going, and it was very lively, but I felt that the air on my side was stagnant.When he wanted to get the schoolbag back, Akashi took a step back, I reached out to snatch it back, Akashi didn't argue with me any more, and obediently returned the schoolbag to me.In a little tug, the backs of our hands touched.

We each retracted our hands as if nothing had happened, and each turned our faces away.

After that time, two weeks have passed, Akashi has been keeping a distance from me, but he always shows up with a friendly face and helps out with things, in a daze, he is really a boy who usually pursues a female classmate.

I reached out and pulled the neckline, "Thank you." I took my schoolbag and walked to the elevator in the newly built teaching building.This was built during spring break for faculty and students with disabilities.

"You're welcome." Akashi replied softly behind me.

I stepped into the elevator, turned around, and saw Akashi looking at me.The door closed slowly, and my tense face was reflected on the reflective door.fuck you.Unnaturally, I raised my hand again to loosen the neckline.The expression on Akashi's face when he pressed against me that night reappeared before my eyes.

Hold.

Stepping out of the elevator, I slowly walked into the new classroom and greeted my classmates.

"Good morning, Takahashi!" The girls in the same class last year greeted me, "How are you doing during the holidays?"

I raised my hand, "Thank you, I'm fine. Good morning." Then I looked at the seat number and looked for my seat first.But as I scanned, I realized I was seeing something that shouldn't be there.I moved my sweeping eyes back to the grid to see clearly.

Carry on.

"Unexpectedly, unexpectedly," the plaid man stood up suddenly, and slapped his hands on the table fiercely, "It turned out to be in the same class as you! Luoshan is so small! Damn, I thought Akashi was enough trouble, you This infuriating creature is still in the same class, too," he pushed his glasses and roared nervously, "too infuriating! I will never allow it!"

I twitched the corner of my mouth slightly.What, biological sister. "I don't know what happened, it's just," I stretched out my right hand and turned my wrist, pointing my thumb at the classmates around me, "Pay attention to your image in front of new classmates, did you collapse on the first day, Jin Cheng "This gentleman is Jincheng Dazhi, the male class leader with glasses who was my classmate in middle school for three years.Early in the morning, he actually appeared in my classroom wearing the uniform of Luoshan University, which made my eyes full of small plaids for a moment.

"Takahashi-san," Kaoru Fukuda, who was also in the same class last year, pouted and pointed at the man with glasses, "Do you even know such a strange person? It's so strange."

I walked over and covered the mouth of the man with glasses to prevent him from continuing to say idiotic words, "He is very nice, just ignore the strange things."

"Princess Takahashi is too gentle." Kaoru Fukuda shook his finger, "Strange people are strange people~ You can't be fooled by someone other than His Highness Akashi."

──What did she call me?

Mori Yangna, who often brought eighteen forbidden otome games back to school, held up her glasses, "You guys underestimate Princess Takahashi! She is the goddess of otome bathed in the holy light!"

──hello.

"Yeah?" The good girl Asakawa Nanmi, who had already sat down, covered her small mouth and said, "Saki, Sakura is being entangled by a strange person? Huh," she shrinks back and is about to cry, then suddenly straightens up Lai looked up to the sky and shouted, "Yeah!!! Everyone! Hurry up and save Sakura!"

"That," Seijuro Akashi appeared by the door with a schoolbag on his back, smiling calmly, "What's wrong? Takahashi, please let me help."

I roll my eyeballs aside.

──What a lively class three of the second year.

I hung my schoolbag on the seat, and dragged the struggling man with glasses out of the classroom expressionlessly, ignoring the classmates who looked out from the classroom, and slowly dragged the man with glasses to the roof.One step at a time, I looked at him sideways. Although Jincheng Dazhi was still struggling, he was just pretending. He didn't dare to hold me back when I walked up the stairs. He had already shifted his thoughts after just walking up the first floor. Come and help me.

"...I said you, you are super vile. I only talked to you because I was in the same class as you for three years. I don't want to go to a place like the rooftop that sounds like a place for bad students!"

Silently, I punched open the roof door, and with a bang, Jincheng Dazhi's voice stopped abruptly.

"I haven't seen you for two years, you really haven't changed at all. I heard what those students said just now, and I thought you had become some kind of strange person." Jincheng Dazhi pushed his glasses with his middle finger, and lowered his tone , come back seriously.

I rolled my eyes, stretched my arms upwards, crossed my fingers to do Lajin, stepped onto the roof, and sat down on the edge of the roof while leaning on the railing, "Come here."

Daichi Jincheng cut it, and came over and sat beside me, "Hey, Takahashi, why didn't you come to the class reunion for two years?"

"I don't want to come."

"Probably guessed it too." He snorted softly, and then put a smirk on his face, "Of course, I'm very happy if you don't come, who would like the person who has been pressing on him every year to show up?" Within sight? Don’t come, we’ll have a great time without you. Don’t—don’t come.”

"It will come this year."

"...Is there any mistake!" Jincheng Dazhi went crazy.

I put my elbows on my knees and chuckled.

"Cut! Hongcun will be back this year."

I raised my eyebrows, "Yeah."

After going crazy for a while, Dazhi Jincheng pushed his glasses again and returned to normal, "How are you doing?"

"Ah."

"I heard that you are now the beauty manager of the Luoshan basketball team."

"I don't want to add 'beauty'." From Jincheng's mouth, there is more irony than praise.

"Grow up into a more beautiful girl, what's wrong? You guys just thank the God of Dessert for me, and sincerely thank him for protecting you, so you can grow taller! Ah, speaking of it, that bastard in Hongcun is so tall! It’s too tall, cut it, pretend to be handsome, you’re not a bastard.”

"He is back?"

"No, but we have connected online and started a video."

"..." The two boys started a video chat, aren't they afraid of getting bored? Hey.I glanced at him, "You?" Dazhi Jincheng didn't say why he suddenly transferred to Luoshan, nor did he explain why he would repeat the grade and become the same grade as me again.

"Well," he took off his glasses, took out the glasses case from his school uniform suit jacket, took out glasses cloth and wiped them carefully, "I don't want to stay in Tokyo anymore."

"Really?" I didn't ask again.Repeating a grade was a surprise to the bespectacled male squad leader.But if he got into Luoshan, it wouldn't be an academic problem, and he didn't hear anything about him from his old classmates.

"I heard you dated Akashi-san?"

"No."

"Hongcun also knows." Jincheng Dazhi put on his glasses again, "I said so. When the news reached my ears, I rushed to the computer desk to send him an email."

I twitched the corner of my mouth, "Is it necessary to run?"

"I can't wait to see his expression. Although I can't see it through email, it's really a pity. Middle school is not used for reading, but he has a relationship with me at the back table every day. There is retribution, hahahaha!" He laughed frantically, "It's so weak to only let the teacher stand for punishment, hahahahaha!"

"..." I turned my face away, not looking at his nervous look.The poor girl who has never been in a relationship is driven crazy.

"No feeling?"

"Gossip, you." I glanced at him, "I don't think so."

"You and his answer are both the same." Jincheng Dazhi fell back and collapsed on the roof floor. His straight school uniform was crumpled by him at once, and he didn't respond to the ringing of the class bell at all, "I also I won't talk too much. I don't have time to control other people's status."

I looked at him, didn't speak, just looked up at the blue sky in the morning.

"Takahashi, do you still have a bad relationship with the school?"

"No, just skipping class."

Jincheng Dazhi turned over and patted the floor laughing, "I have the experience of skipping class on the first day! Hahahaha!"

What happened to the man with glasses?After a while, I reached out and patted him on the head, "I'll come to Luoshan, I'll just say it once." No one in my old classmate knows that I'm in Luoshan University, "It's not useless in the past, but don't be fooled by it." Entanglement, idiot." He definitely had something happened, but if he didn't say it, forget it.

"I was thinking, if you say so, you will definitely say so."

"Well, it's hard to do, and I'm not trying to hide that."

"...You better cover it up for me! Fuck! I'm depressed! Did you make a mistake!"

I chatted with him all morning, and when I left the rooftop, Dazhi Jincheng carefully supported me.

"Takahashi."

"what?"

"Do you want a second-year manager for your basketball team?"

I raised my eyebrows.

"I want to be the manager of the basketball team." He said with a smirk, "Hmph, there will be no place for you then, I'm a man who can do everything well hahaha!" He suddenly stretched out his hand upwards He raised it up and yelled at the stairs on the second floor: "The future! It's about getting revenge on the bastard Takahashi! I will never lose to you again!"

I half-clenched my fists to cover my mouth, yawned, and walked slowly back to the classroom, "I'm not number one in my grade, let's be top ten. Whatever you want."

"...Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Daichi Jincheng yelled from behind me inexplicably, and then quickly caught up with me, "Takahashi, do me a favor."

"what?"

"Take me in!"

"……what?"

"You think everyone has parents who dote on you like this! My home is in Tokyo, and this is Kyoto! I can't afford the rent if I don't work! But how can I spend my precious study time Wasted on part-time jobs! You are alone, give me half of the house!"

"I said," I looked at him blankly, "do you think you can afford half of my house's rent?" Jin Cheng's family seems to be in a good situation, but not as good as mine.

"...Super bad! One, one room!"

"One floor." My parents are elites in the financial world, why does he think I am so self-willed?aha.

Jincheng Dazhi bumped his head against the wall, "I lost to you at the starting line of my life! Damn it!"

"Your parents won't be so busy that they can only leave you cold food."

"Yeah?"

I turned around and opened the door of the classroom, "I can take you in for a while, but you have to find a cheap room to move." I turned back to look at the man with glasses expressionlessly, "I will never believe in biological sex It's a male thing," I raised my right hand, with the back of my hand up and my index finger pointing up, "Get lost."

Jincheng Dazhi burst into blue veins and said: "Who would have any thoughts about you, fuck! It's not that you want to live in hell for the rest of your life! Well, but, you've made progress. It's the first time you realize that I'm a man. "

The bloody lesson, "I'll give you the key after school, now go to the gymnasium first," the students have all returned from the opening ceremony and left one after another.I picked up my schoolbag, "This afternoon is the induction ceremony for new team members, and those you want to join will come."

"Thank you." He pushed his glasses, "Takahashi, I came to Kyoto suddenly like this, causing you trouble. I also made up my mind to come here last night."

"You are responsible for cooking the three meals."

"Yeah!"

"Sakura." Asakawa Nanmi, who was sitting in the upper left corner of me this year, hugged my arm and whispered, "New classmate, hello, my name is Asakawa Nanmi. That," she pulled my sleeve nervously , "You, are you going to live together? Sakura, I'm worried about you. Ah, no, it's not gossip! It's enough for Sakura to be happy and become a happy person!"

I patted her head, "Everyone lives under one atmosphere."

Asakawa Nanmi puffed up her cute cheeks, and pointed at Akashi Seijuro who was sitting in the front row of the classroom, "But Akashi-san's face turned dark, Sakura, you can't do without nerves."

"..." Have I been taught a lesson?Well, compare your heart with your heart, if it were Akashi, I wouldn't be happy either.I silently turned my face away, thinking about kicking the man with glasses out, at most subsidizing him to rent a house for a while.

"Takahashi," Akashi packed his schoolbag and came over, "Is there anything I can do to help?" He turned to the man with glasses, "This one, I remember correctly, is Jincheng-senpai. Hello."

Daichi Jincheng glanced at him, pushed his glasses, the lenses reflected light, and said coldly: "Hello, Akashi-san."

Akashi smiled and said: "Senior Jincheng, the school has prepared dormitories for the basketball team, because we have many excellent players from outside. There should be rooms left this year, which can be distributed to managers. If you don't mind, I will wait for you After joining the team, I can also help you apply. I look forward to you joining our Luoshan basketball team."

Dazhi Jincheng's attitude towards Akashi immediately changed 180 degrees.

This stuff.

"Asakawa," I turned to Asakawa Nanmi, "I put all the sketches in the art room yesterday. Sorry, I can't come over today."

"No," Asakawa Nanmi folded her hands in front of her body, her eyes crooked with a smile, "Sakura, go get busy." She clenched her fists suddenly, "Come on! Luoshan!"

I laughed out loud, "Thank you."

In the afternoon, it is the annual admission again. This year, we have already searched for many outstanding students in the middle school circle. There are also many people who come here to sign up. The basic information of the team test has been sorted out.Just looking at the data, there are not many who can meet the standards that Akashi wants for the time being. After one year of training, it will be better in the second grade.Talented players are indispensable, but the quality of the whole team still depends on the accumulation of time.

"Takahashi," Akashi, who was wearing a team uniform, walked into the club room, "is it alright?"

"Well," I turned off the computer, "the backup has been sent to you."

"Thank you." Akashi walked to my table, "Takahashi, I don't know if you are free, I have some private matters that I hope I can talk to you about."

I looked up at him, "what's the matter?"

"If you don't mind, are you interested in going to the theater with me this weekend?"

"..." I'm not mistaken, are you asking me to go on a date with him?

"You don't have to force it, if you find it annoying. But," Akashi pressed his hand on the edge of the table and looked down at me, "I very much hope that you can agree. You can also tell me if you have other places you want to go, if you find it troublesome , you can leave the itinerary to me." He stared at me closely.

When we looked at each other, our faces became hot for no reason.

A gust of cool wind came from nowhere, bringing in the fragrance of falling cherry blossoms.
