[Black Basket] Winter Cherry Blossoms

"I came here also to have a good talk with her. Depending on how much she calms down, it may take some days before she recovers." The frozen period was difficult, and Akashi had cursed those who ruined his good deeds more than once in his heart. Without those people getting in the way, the relationship between him and Saya would definitely progress, instead of being as cold as ice that couldn't melt.

"The one who is childish is not you, but herself. She thinks that boys like you should like gentle girls, not her strong type. In addition, when you see her fierce appearance, she may I thought you hated her already, so I kept on doing nothing, and drew a line with you directly, lest you wait for you to tell her what you hate, and then go home and cry."

"It's all right, she just has too many worries, so she will find troubles for herself." In the ambiguous stage of lovers who are not satisfied, there are bound to be many twists and turns, but Akashi believes that the two can overcome the difficulties in front of them, and the premise is first It is necessary to strengthen Saya's trust in him. If the trust between the two parties is sufficient, no matter how outsiders try to sabotage them, they cannot be separated.

"You are still young, these things are a test for you, only those who pass the test can grow, Saya is no exception, what happened today is a wake-up call for her, if she doesn't change, she will lose, so you Don't worry, she'll be fine once her anger subsides."

"What about Ando's house? From the tone of that girl, it seems that she and Saya have had a long-standing grudge." Akashi said the doubts he discovered these days, even if the two had an issue in the game, it would not be too late. It may continue for a long time, which shows that there is another origin behind Kana Ando.

"The Ando family, like the Oikawa family, are new members of the alliance circle. It's not surprising that their daughter has taken a fancy to you. If I really want to talk about the end, I'm afraid I have to start with the elders. My wife Chiyo Since she was a girl, she has competed with that girl's grandmother in all aspects, ranging from various competitions to trivial matters in life. I thought that the two would not compare each other after they got married. Who knew that after having a daughter and grandson, the competition would still Keep going, you are only allowed to win, not to lose, this is what my wife has always taught Saya. Now that this happened, I just asked her for help, maybe she can help you solve the trouble." Hashimoto also looked around and found a Pack of unopened absorbent cotton, he opened the package, took out a large ball and handed it to Akashi, "Come on, learn from me to rub the cotton into two small balls."

Not knowing Hashimoto Naoya's intentions, Akashi could only do it dubiously, he tentatively asked: "Excuse me, are these used to plug ears?"

"Correct, because every woman has her own landmine, and if she accidentally steps on it, the consequences will be very difficult to deal with, so before that, we must take protective measures to avoid hearing loss."

"I understand." According to Hashimoto's request, Akashi plugged his ears with thick cotton balls.

After Hashimoto saw that Akashi was ready, he took out his mobile phone and dialed the number at home, "Hey, Chiyo, it's me. If I'm free, I'll tell you something."

"What's the matter? You've been out for a walk for too long, is Ruth okay, and Saya?"

"Ruth has Kenichi watching, and it will recover soon. When Saya encountered difficult problems, the daughter of the Ando family won her..."

"What are you talking about! Tell me clearly, where did my Saya lose!!" Before he finished speaking, there was a piercing roar from the phone. If Hashimoto Takaya and Akashi hadn't been prepared, the eardrums would definitely be crushed. break.

"You...you calm down...the thing is like this..." To appease his wife's anger, Hashimoto also repeated to her what Akashi had said to him, adding fuel and jealousy by the way.

"I don't need you to ask me to do that. Hmph, I'm bullying you. I won't just sit around and let the other party have a chance. Bring Saya back quickly. From tonight onwards, I will train her hard! "

"Crack!" After saying this, the other end of the phone ended with a violent slamming of the phone. From Mrs. Chiyo's fierce reaction, it can be heard that compared to the grievances of the elders, the grievances of the younger generations are simply child's play.

"With her, we can rest assured temporarily. As for Saya's knot, you can only solve it. I think you have found a good way." Hashimoto Takashi is also optimistic about the development of his granddaughter and Akashi, not him He has the superpower of the unknown prophet, but Akashi's father once told him that as long as the Akashi family is fancy, the target will never have a chance to escape. Although the two met ten years earlier, compared to the arrangements of the elders , the relationship drawn by fate and fate is the longest.

"Yes, I hope my method will work for her." Stroking Jack's head, Akashi was full of confidence, he believed that it would be able to complete the task he entrusted with excellence.

*****

On the opposite street from the pet hospital, there is a field for people to practice baseball and golf basics. It is full during the day, and there are only vacancies at night. Some people frequent it to find a place to practice, while others People do bat swings to vent their stress and anger, and Saya's purpose is obviously the latter.

A year ago, she was already a frequent visitor here. Every time she encounters unpleasant things, she will be sent here to play by her uncle. Today coincides with the renovation of the baseball field, and only the golf course is open. The golf course vented the pent-up anger in her heart. Even a simple swing practice could take away all the anger and pressure, and she felt a lot more comfortable in her heart.

While she kept swinging and hitting the ball, at the gate of the course, a golden retriever with a basket in its mouth, under the cover of its owner, sneaked past the front desk staff, went around to the back gate of the course and entered the golf area.It sniffed the smell in the air, and found that the person it was looking for was in the field. It nimbly dodged the continuous bad serve of the laymen, and got into the flowers on the side of the field, sticking its head out while walking, looking for the familiar silhouette.

Since the teeing point of the golf area is divided into more than a dozen different cubicles, and the light on the side of the flowers is insufficient, the Golden Retriever must poke his head to find someone every time he arrives at a cubicle. This action is repeated 5 times. The minutes really died down, and in the far right cubicle, it finally found its target.

"Wow!" the golden retriever barked softly at the swinging person.

When it barked, the affected person almost threw the club. She turned her head in surprise and saw a golden retriever with a basket in its mouth poking its head out of the flowers. Petals and dead leaves of different colors stained.

"Jack, why are you here, where is your master?" Saya felt strange when he took the small basket in Jack's mouth, when did it learn Ruth's stunt?She curiously took out the items in the small basket. It turned out that her aunt made dinner for her. Could it be that Akashi has already been to the pet hospital?

"Wow!" Seeing Saya picking up the lunch box, Jack obediently lay down, even though his nose smelled the smell of food, he still resisted moving, and slowly waited for her to finish dinner.

How long have you been playing here?Saya took out the mobile phone in her backpack, and it showed that it was 8:30 p.m., and two hours had passed since Ruth's inspection. If her uncle didn't think her angry face scared the little animals, she would not have come here Playing ball, after some venting, she finally felt better, but when she thought of Kana's face, she couldn't help but put another ball on the ground, took it as Kana, and swung it hard, hitting it Hit the big net hanging not far away.

"Haven't you exhausted your anger yet?" Not long after Shaye swung, someone in the cubicle next to her also swung. The ball that was hit drew a beautiful arc in the air, and landed smoothly and rolled directly into the field. in the set hole.

Seeing this, Saya was dumbfounded. Through the mesh partition wall, she said to the people over there: "Are you trying to annoy me?"

"Wrong, it's right to appease." Holding the cue and walking to the compartment where Saya was, Akashi touched Jack's head and expressed his appreciation for its successful completion of the task.

"If you didn't stop me, I would have taught her a lesson."

"You're not that stupid. You jumped into it even though you knew there was a trap. You know very well the consequences of beating someone, and you just wanted to scare her when you hit her." Akashi told Saya's state of mind at that time.

"Please don't read other people's minds casually." Saya, who had been seen through, protested dissatisfied.

"As I said before, the expression on your face has betrayed you. I don't need mind reading skills to know what you're thinking." Saya is in the mood to quarrel, which shows that her anger has subsided a lot, otherwise Akashi would have died prematurely. Approaching her will only add fuel to the flames, without even a chance to speak.

"Then you know what I'm thinking right now?" Saya didn't believe that Akashi would have such a magical ability.

"You want to leave here immediately, but you still have nostalgia for me in your heart." In Akashi's eyes, Saya is too easy to see through. From the expression on her face, she can predict her next move. If you want to control her actions, it is almost impossible. It is easy as pie.

"Whoever is nostalgic for you, go find that gentle and considerate little princess, I am not suitable for you as a violent girl."

"Whether it suits you or not is not up to you." Akashi smiled and pulled Saya into his arms, "To be honest, I was really happy when I saw you being jealous for me, which at least proves that you really care about it." I."

"You're happy, and I'm about to die of anger, so there will be absolutely no next time!"

"Saya, take back your words, don't make me angry." Saya's words quickly made Akashi's smile disappear, "Could it be that in your heart, I am the kind of person who easily accepts external temptations?"

"You... are not that kind of person." Indeed, Akashi's resistance is extremely strong. In school, there are countless people who go to the basketball club to deliver towels and water every day. Facing the enthusiasm of the girls, he has no reaction at all. Put those girls aside and concentrate on practicing.

"Since you trust me, don't think about it, don't pay attention to other people's gossip, you just need to think about me."

"I hate her approaching you, and I hate myself like this."

"It's okay, that's a normal reaction for someone who really likes someone, and I will feel the same jealousy. You don't need to hate yourself, because you are the best in my heart."

"You don't have a fever, don't you? It's impossible for you to say such a thing in my impression." Saya raised her head and looked at Akashi's different-colored pupils, but she didn't notice any change.

"That's the treatment you only have, so don't run away anymore. When the agreed date is reached, no matter how other people destroy it, I will not let you go." Akashi tapped Saya's lips with his finger, and then put Putting his finger on his lips, he said, "I'll take this small interest first, and on that day, I'll take it all away."

"you……"

Akashi's words made Saya's face turn red, and he didn't know what to say in response.

"By the way, these two things were originally intended for you before the game, and they will come in handy later." Akashi stuffed the items that had been in the bag into Saya's hand.

"Red hair in a small bottle and two rolls of tape wrapped around a gymnastics ring? Wait, why is the tape red, and why did your bangs get shorter?" Looking at the slightly shortened hair on Akashi's forehead, Saya didn't understand why he did this.

"The bangs on the forehead are a bit in the way, so I trimmed them myself. That small bottle is the magic I gave you for winning. I hope it can bring you victory. As for the tape, isn't it the tradition of Sakura Garden before each big competition? Want to choose a lucky color? I'll help you decide."

"Are you sure your hair is more effective than the shrine's talisman?" To be honest, this is the first time Saya has received such a strange gift. It sounds a bit unrealistic, but holding it in her hand can make her feel uneasy The heart calms down, the effect is a bit like a medical tranquilizer.

"Whether it works or not, only you can see."

"Sounds very unreliable, young master, why do I think there will be more to come after I accept it?"

Saya's feeling is not wrong, she did guess that the magic of victory will have a follow-up, but Akashi has not made it clear to her now, leaving her with only one question of unclear meaning.

"Saya, I am satisfied to be accompanied by you during that long journey. If I ask you more excessively, will you agree to me?"

What are the so-called more excessive demands?Saya couldn't help feeling puzzled.
