[Black Basket] Masked Doll

"Good morning, Li Chuan." Not long after the bookstore opened on Saturday morning, Li Chuan saw a familiar person walking in.

"Morning Himuro-senpai." Kurikawa hesitated for a moment before deciding to turn around, desperately ignoring his sudden rapid heartbeat.

"Himuro, this is your friend." Probably because Kurikawa had been paying attention to Himuro just now, he didn't even notice anyone standing beside him.

"Yes, junior girl." Himuro smiled and walked towards the bookshelf, and replied without looking back.

"Hello." When Himuro came to pay the bill with Natsume Soseki's book, he smiled and greeted Himuro's friends after thinking about it.

"Hey, girl, do you want to play pool together?" Himuro's friend suddenly asked, which caught Kurikawa by surprise.Kurikawa tried to look to Himuro for help, but the latter just looked back with a smile.

"No, I won't." Li Chuan waved his hands helplessly, thinking that it would be all right.

"It's okay, everyone is just playing anyway." The friend of the ice room laughed, because they were still in the bookstore and the volume was not loud.

"Let's come together." Bingshi, who had been silent beside him, suddenly spoke.Seeing this, Kurikawa could only nod his head in agreement.

It was around four o'clock in the afternoon when Kurikawa got off work. As soon as he walked out of the store, he saw the ice room leaning against the electric pole.Even in early June, the highest temperature in Akita is only over 20 degrees, and the lowest temperature occasionally drops to single digits.The ice room seems to only wear a black jacket over a white T-shirt, and the black jeans are only matched with white sneakers.Compared with the increasing number of visual style dresses on the street, it is probably the most common dress nowadays.

"Let's go." Himuro smiled and stood up straight.

"Mm, um, good." Kurikawa stared at Himuro in a daze, and Himuro suddenly spoke. Kurikawa stuttered suddenly in shock.

The billiards room was not far from the bookstore, only about five streets away, but Li Chuan was anxious all the way.Kurikawa thought about it quickly, and it seemed that he and Himuro had never walked on the street like this before.Kurikawa didn't know how far to keep the ice room.Once getting too close, Li Chuan will feel that his breathing rhythm is disrupted, but if he is too far away, he will feel an awkward sense of deliberate alienation.

"Here we are." Himuro, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, and Kurikawa, who had been staring at the ground, raised his head immediately, and saw Himuro pointing to the billiard room on the right side of Kurikawa.

After pushing the door, Himuro saw Kurikawa looking around like "so this is the billiards room" and chuckled a few times, and what he got in return was of course Kurikawa's slap in the face.

"Follow me." Himuro didn't pay much attention, but stretched out his hand, and Kurikawa's ears turned red instantly.

"It's okay, I can go by myself." Li Chuan shook his lowered head.

"Heh, let's go." Himuro reached out and grabbed Kurikawa's left wrist. Kurikawa softly uttered a single syllable, and then followed Himuro's footsteps.Kurikawa tried to pull out his wrist, but he was helpless because there was too much difference in strength between men and women.

"Sorry, I'm late." After standing still, Himuro slowly let go of Kurikawa's wrist. Although the force was relatively strong, Kurikawa didn't feel any pain.The body temperature of the ice room was slightly higher than that of Kurikawa, and Kurikawa felt very relieved.

"Hello." Ice Room stood in front of the pool table in the corner. Compared with other places in the store, the light here seemed to be more comfortable.After Kurikawa stood still, he realized that Himuro seemed to be the youngest standing around the pool table.Since meeting Okamura, Kurikawa has become less sure about judging age.Kurikawa took a quick look around, except for Himuro, it seemed that everyone else seemed to be a social person, although Kurikawa felt that the aura of Himuro was not too different from that of a social person.

After Kurikawa bowed politely, all the strangers present expressed their friendship one after another.After a brief introduction in the ice room, Kurikawa learned that half of these people were billiard enthusiasts, and all of them were met after the ice room started playing billiards in this billiard room.And the other half are like Li Chuan, although they are friends of these billiard lovers, they are all inexplicably invited to play together.

"Here." While Kurikawa was still in a daze, Himuro had already held two clubs, and handed the shorter one to Kurikawa's eyes.

"I really can't." Li Chuan had no choice but to shake his head with a helpless expression.

"It's okay, I invited my friends to play together today." Kurikawa raised his head slightly, and saw Himuro looking down at him with a smile and stuffing the club into Kurikawa's hand. Kurikawa sighed silently, thinking that today is There is no escape.

Himuro made a few demonstrations. Although Kurikawa didn't know it very well, he could still feel that Himuro's putting posture was as gorgeous as his basketball.

It can be said that Kurikawa has been very hard on all sports since he was a child, including billiards.After watching the demonstration of the ice room, Kurikawa still looked completely puzzled.After laughing a few times, Himuro began to teach Kurikawa little by little, from the rules of billiards to the correct posture.

When Kurikawa was teaching Himuro, he couldn't help but praise Himuro in his heart that he seemed to be a good teacher.The language can be said to be easy to understand, but it hits the nail on the head.Having said that, Kurikawa's putting motion still feels a bit awkward no matter how many times he listens to the explanation.

"Come on, let's make a putter." Himuro chuckled softly, then patted Kurikawa's head.Kurikawa nodded, and suddenly felt that Himuro really looked like an older brother, full of peace of mind.

"Relax your shoulders. Step your left foot out a little more. Press your waist down a little more. Lift your head up a little more. Arch your joints a little more, and keep your fingers flat." Himuro saw that the explanations from Hikari and Kurikawa didn't work, so he began to do it himself posture.Although it was just a simple touch like a pat on the shoulder, Kurikawa still felt like getting an electric shock.While adjusting his gestures, Himuro's entire hand was covered.The thin calluses on the fingertips and the palm of the hand rubbed against the back of the hand lightly while adjusting, and the subtle friction made Kurikawa's heart beat endlessly.The slight breathing sound seemed to be right next to his ears, and Kurikawa thought that it was too foul.

Although he was smiling, his eyes were serious.Kurikawa lowered his eyes, thinking that it would be great if he could just look at him like this all the time.

"Sorry, I've been waiting for a long time." When I went home from the billiards room with Himuro, I accidentally said that my English was weak.Himuro immediately replied that it was time to help Kurikawa with tutoring.Kurikawa thought Himuro was just joking around, so he agreed casually.But Kurikawa didn't expect Himuro to exchange phone calls with him, so he invited Kurikawa to the library a few days later, said that the monthly exam would be in a few days, and helped Kurikawa with some English tutoring.After Li Chuan heard this, Xiao Lu ran wildly. Although it was only a tutoring session, he was completely unable to decide what to wear that day. In the end, he simply drew lots to decide.

"Nothing." Himuro pulled away the chair on his left, and Kurikawa also took out his English textbook from his bag.

The English in the ice room is quite different from the Japanese English heard on the street, and the standard of pronunciation is quite fluent.Kurikawa couldn't help but stare blankly at Himuro's profile.It wasn't until Himuro turned his head after reading the entire article that Kurikawa realized, and looked at the article while muttering sorry.

"Himuro-san, Kurikawa. I can meet you here." After hearing the voice, Kurikawa turned around and saw Saotome waving in the direction where he was sitting.

"What a coincidence." Kurikawa responded with a smile.

"Hello, it's our first time meeting. May I ask your name?" Seeing Kurikawa turning his head, Himuro stopped the ballpoint pen with English words written in his hand, and smiled back.

"Ha, Saotome Ritsuko. Please give me your advice." Seeing Saotome's appearance, Kurikawa was really nervous talking to someone he liked for the first time.Although Kurikawa also understood that people like Himuro's almost perfect smiles were mostly due to etiquette, but Kurikawa somehow felt a little uncomfortable.

The moment he saw Himuro smiling at Saotome, Kurikawa suddenly realized that it wasn't his own person who became strange, but his unreasonable jealousy began to play tricks on his reason.
