[Black Basket] Winter Cherry Blossoms

The campus restaurant at noon was still as lively as usual. Because Saya had a cold and asked for a day off, Kotaro's magic bento also disappeared at the same time.In this regard, he himself thinks that the impact is not great, the food in the campus restaurant can still satisfy his appetite, and the battle between him and Nebuya did not happen, the reason is that someone who hates noise sits with them and eats, if If they dare to fight over food, the consequences will be disastrous.

"The restaurant is so noisy today, isn't it because the excursion has changed its location and the festival in May, they are so excited?" Compared with the excursions that are held every year, Hayama thinks that tonkatsu is more attractive.

"The Sunflower Festival this year happened to be on the weekend, so they should be discussing a date." Ling Yang added, "If Xiaozheng is free that day, go and see it. The Sunflower Festival is very lively."

"Depending on the situation, I personally like to go horseback riding in my spare time." After lunch, Akashi was looking through the materials of the student union, and he was not interested in Lingyang's proposal at all.

"Ya Shan!!!!" While the three of them were chatting, a girl with a lunch tray rushed to Kotaro's table, startling them immediately.

"Nakatani, what are you doing? There are ghosts chasing you?" Swallowing the tonkatsu in his mouth, Kotaro looked at his classmate Nakatani Miyuki. She is Saya's good friend. She has a super outgoing personality and rough nerves. I will only laugh and laugh about things, and I will never be as flustered as I am now. Today is so abnormal. Could it be that the sun is coming out from the west?

Putting down the lunch in her hand, Miyuki sat down on the seat next to Lingyang, and was about to speak, but saw Akashi was also present, so she immediately became quiet under the pressure of the invisible aura, and took a sip of water to catch her breath Finally, she dropped a big news to Kotaro and the others.

"Hayama, Saya has been selected as a candidate for this year's Aoi Festival."

puff!This news is definitely more powerful than a bomb. Kotaro spewed out all the miso soup he had just eaten. Netakeya, who was sitting across from him, was directly hit, and Lingyang was coughed by choking. Any expression changes.

"Nakatani, stop joking, you don't have the talent for this." Kotaro hastily pulled out a tissue to wipe Netaketani's face across from him, "And the recruitment of Dai Saiwang is still in progress, where did you hear the news came back?"

"Who are you kidding? The news came from Kudo-senpai of the drama club. There are relatives in his family who work in the festival committee. The news he received will never be false. What's more frightening is that Saya's younger sister is also a candidate .”

"Oh my God, it must be bad to meet her." Kotaro remembered what happened at the movie theater last time, and this time the girl was selected as a candidate, it must be causing trouble.

"Having a lovely younger sister is a good thing, why do you dislike her so much?" Gen Wugu asked curiously.

"Because she's not cute at all!" Miyuki and Kotaro replied in unison.

"Sha Ye probably hasn't heard the news yet, are you planning to hide it from her?" Ling Yang looked at Kotaro, and proposed her own countermeasures, "If that sister is really that scary, we still have to tell her in advance, so that she can get some help." Guard."

"Sister Lingyang is right, we need to tell her about the situation as soon as possible, but... she is resting at home today, should I go to her house?"

"Don't hesitate, just choose today. Anyway, the afternoon training will end early, and those who can go will gather at the school gate. Xiaozheng, if there is a job at the student union for Saya, we can help you take it there."

"No, some matters need to be resolved in person. I will go with you." Akashi decided to go to Hashimoto's house in person. Although he was visiting Hashimoto's house this time, he knew that sooner or later he would come to Hashimoto's house as a different person. The official identity visits.

After setting the meeting time and place, everyone continued to eat their own lunches. The topic of the Aoi Festival Saiwang seems to have come to an end, but they never expected that after the lunch break, their names would appear on the list of festival parade participants In the middle, it seems that this year's festival will become very lively.

******

"How many of us are going to participate in the parade on the day of the Aoi Festival? Coach, are you telling the truth?" Kotaro thought he was hallucinating, since he was a child, he only watched the parade among the crowd and never thought that he would participate in the day. This time is really a godsend.

"It is a good thing to have the opportunity to participate in the annual large-scale festivals in the city, but the principal also said that this is voluntary, and participants will get extra credits. Those who are interested will fill out the form after careful consideration. The deadline for submitting the form is the day after tomorrow, Higuchi, Please return the form when the time comes." Coach Platinum gave a brief explanation of the principal's instructions, and handed over the follow-up matters to Higuchi, and the team members who received the form also began to discuss the topic of the festival.

Of course, this recruitment activity is not limited to the basketball club, because after Akashi and the others left the school, they saw many students from the same school holding the same form. It can be seen that this recruitment is a school-wide nature, and everyone has the opportunity to participate.

But Akashi and the others still put the matter of visiting the sick in the first place. The people who can go to visit the sick are Akashi, Kotaro, Lingyang and Miyuki. Nebuya originally wanted to go, but he had to rush home midway, so he officially made the trip The first place the person wanted to go was the business district near Saya's house. Unfortunately, it was also the place where Akashi and Saya visited on their first date. As a result, something incredible happened while shopping.

At first, Kotaro was worrying about which gifts to bring to the visit. After all, it was not an ordinary house, and it would be very rude to bring something too ordinary. Unfortunately, even if they scratched their heads, they still couldn't figure it out, so everyone had to leave the job of buying gifts to The smartest person in the room solves it.

Akashi glanced at the few 500 yen coins in his hand, and after thinking for a while, he walked towards a flower shop. The proprietress inside saw a customer coming to the door, and immediately ran over to greet him enthusiastically.

"Welcome, do you need my help?"

Akashi looked at all kinds of flowers in the store. Whether it was delicate roses or pure lilies, they were all very attractive, but Akashi didn't pay attention to them. Instead, he went to the back shelf and took out a small purple flower bud. small potted plants.

"I want this pot." Akashi went to check out with the selected flowers in his hands, and the whole process only took 3 minutes.

"Is this for my girlfriend? Few people would choose this kind of flower as a gift now. You are really considerate." While helping to protect the potted plants, the proprietress asked Akashi rather puzzled: " Why did you choose it? Obviously other flowers are more beautiful than it."

"I heard that when the platycodon blooms, happiness will come. I hope she can get happiness." Akashi did not refute the clerk's previous question. When asked the reason for buying flowers, his answer was concise and concise. persuasive.

"You are really discerning, so I will pay you half the price for this potted flower. I hope the person who receives this potted flower will be happy."

"Thank you."

The first gift was successfully obtained, and then everyone followed Akashi's footsteps and left the flower shop to a long-established shop selling desserts.

"Akashi, do you have special abilities? How do you know that Saya's grandparents like wagashi desserts?" Kotaro was really surprised. He had seen Saya's grandpa eating similar desserts while drinking tea by chance when he was a child. As for Akashi, he hit the mark as soon as he bought it, which is really amazing.

"I'm not that amazing. I just heard from my senior that her grandmother often comes here to buy yokan for tea."

Akashi told the truth, but what made Kotaro and the others feel wrong was the conversation between the shop owner and Akashi, which made them wonder when Akashi and Saya got so close that others felt that the two were not simply learning from each other. Brother and sister relationship, and what the shop owner said confirmed their conjecture.

"It's you, Akashi, Saya didn't come to buy anything today, are you here to help her?"

"No, senior, she has a cold and is sick, and I'm going to visit her house, so I came to buy some yokan as a gift."

"No problem, no problem. Last time you and Saya helped my youngest son when we came to the store. I haven't thanked you yet. Well, I'll give you a [-]% discount on the water yokan that just came out of the oven today, and these little things The packaging and tasting is for your friends, by the way, let me tell you secretly, in fact, Saya can also make yokan, if you have time, you can ask her to make it for you."

From the shop owner's words, it can be heard that he completely misunderstood the relationship between the two, and Akashi did not clarify the same as before in the flower shop, but just smiled and paid the money and left the shop with the packaged yokan. Outside the shop, he Soon, they met the curious gazes of Kotaro and the others.

"Xiao Zheng, it's suspicious. When did you and Saya start?" Ling Yang was the first to ask.

"The store owner will tell you Saya's little secret, so the relationship between you and her must be extraordinary, right, Akashi." Kotaro joined the questioning ranks without fear of death.

"Could it be the last time..." Miyuki originally wanted to say that it might be the last date that led to the budding of the relationship, but after receiving Akashi's cold eyes, she immediately changed the subject wisely, "There is a boutique over there. If you have any money left, you can go and have a look.”

This remark successfully turned the topic around. Akashi took the lead, and everyone walked towards the boutique. As Miyuki said, there are many things suitable for gift giving. The customers who come here are mostly girls, but when they walk into the store to choose gifts At that time, the appearance of an unexpected guest almost didn't frighten Miyuki and Kotaro.

"Akashi, I didn't expect to meet you here." I don't know when, just a short while after the store door was opened, a long-haired girl in school uniform walked up to Akashi's side, and started talking to him enthusiastically .

"Excuse me, who are you?" Akashi's good mood fell to the bottom instantly after seeing Oikawa Mika appear. He remembered that he had given Kurihara a warning last time. Now it seems that even if Kurihara brought the words to Oikawa Mika, she would not Will keep to myself.

Facing Akashi's indifferent answer, Oikawa Mika was not scared off but approached him even more progressively, saying, "We met at the New Year's dinner of the Alliance Consortium, don't you remember?"

New Year's dinner?

Hearing what Chuan Meixiang said, Akashi remembered that he and his father had attended a dinner party during the New Year, but that night he had only greeted and spoken to some elders, and had never interacted with guests of the same age, let alone met Oikawa Meixiang Well, he has no impression at all.

"Sorry, I did attend the New Year's dinner, but I've never seen you."

"My name is Oikawa Mika, and I am the second daughter of the Oikawa family. Our Oikawa family is also a member of the alliance group, and there were many people who greeted you at the banquet that night. It is normal that you don't remember me." Being able to chat with Akashi smoothly is enough The first step for Oikawa Mika to succeed is to ask her why she would be so active with a stranger. Apart from the old-fashioned love at first sight factor, the most important thing is that Akashi is her father's ideal son-in-law candidate. In terms of family background, appearance and talent, he is indeed is the best choice.

"Then what does Miss Oikawa want from me? If there is nothing else, I will excuse you first." Not wanting to waste time with people he hates, Akashi turned his eyes back to the shelves, looking for his favorite items, and finally he looked Hit a miniature teddy bear with a red bow tie.

"Akashi, who did you buy that little bear for?" Meixiang immediately felt the crisis. According to the information his father gave her, Akashi likes to participate in club activities most of the time. Today, he was able to meet him in the commercial street. It's rare, now that he came to the boutique to buy things, could it be that what she had been worrying about all along was about to come true?No, it's impossible, it's impossible for him to like that person!

"It has nothing to do with you." Akashi ignored Meixiang, and walked to the cashier to pay with a cold face.

"I'm sorry, I asked too many questions. As an apology, if you are free later, can I invite you to have a cup of coffee?" Most boys will choose to nod when they meet an invitation from a cute girl. Agreed, but Meixiang's move obviously didn't work on Akashi, and his attitude towards her was still that of a stranger, which only made her shiver from the cold.

"No need, I still have things to do." At the packaging counter, he skillfully packed the bear with a hand towel, and Akashi said to Lingyang and the others hiding in the corner: "Lingyang, let's go, don't waste time here. "

"Wait a minute, Akashi..." Seeing Akashi leaving with his companions, Meixiang hurriedly stepped forward to hold his hand, but it was fine if she didn't pull it, as it completely exhausted Akashi's remaining patience.

"Please respect yourself, Miss Oikawa."

"I... I just..." An indescribable heavy pressure made Meixiang let go of her hand quickly. If she didn't feel strange because of the long distance when peeping last time, Akashi now made her feel terrified trembling.

However, the person who was annoyed didn't want to stay for a while, and left the boutique with his companions angrily. Kotaro and the others didn't dare to ask questions along the way, for fear that Akashi's anger would not subside. Some people dare to open the chatterbox.

"Xiao Zheng, that girl seems to have taken a fancy to you."

"I'm not interested in her." Akashi replied, "And don't tell Senior Sister what happened just now, it will only aggravate her condition."

"Paper can't hold fire, Xiaozheng." Lingyang signaled Akashi to look at Kotaro and Miyuki behind him, "I think it will have an interesting reverse effect if you tell Saya yourself, doesn't it?"

"Lingyang, you don't need to worry about that aspect." Akashi's tone gradually became colder, "Do you have any other opinions on me?"

"No...no, haha, where are we going now? Xiaotaro, please lead the way, or we won't reach our destination until dark."
