[Black Basket Akashi] Brigade, kneel!

The temperature in Kyoto in December is very low.

After the last club activity before the winter vacation, Akashi Seijuro changed his clothes and walked out of the gym with his bag on his back.

Perhaps it was because of the recent rain that the already icy air became even colder, and the dampness carried by the cold wind seemed to be able to pierce people's skin.

But none of this had any effect on him.

Stepping out of the gate of the gymnasium with a calm complexion, Akashi Seijuro looked sideways habitually, and as usual saw the girl quietly waiting by the exit.

The girl leaned against the wall of the gymnasium and squatted there quietly.She was wearing a simple dark blue coat, an off-white woolen scarf, and fluffy earmuffs on her ears, which made her face even smaller.She didn't move and didn't make a fuss, just squatted there in one position, staring blankly at the ground as if she was thinking about something.

Seeing her unconsciously curled up into a ball and trembling from time to time, she knew that she had been blowing outside for a long time.Thinking of this, Akashi Seijuro couldn't help frowning his handsome eyebrows, and with a gentle voice, he called out softly: "Kiriko."

"Huh...?" The girl's mind was recalled by this call, and she looked at the source of the sound in a daze. When she saw Akashi Seijuro who was staring at her, the original dull expression disappeared instantly.

She stood up hurriedly, regardless of her numb legs from squatting for a long time, and hurriedly ran to Akashi, staring at him with a pair of black eyes, and seemed to be able to see the wagging tail behind her, like A happy puppy: "Ah Zheng! OVO"

"...Mmm." Replied lightly, Akashi stared at her reddened nose from the cold, thinking that she must have been staying here since school, his brows frowned a little more, "Why do you Don't wait in the classroom, there is heating." Is she a fool!If you don’t stay in a place with heating, you have to go to such a place to blow the cold wind. What if you get sick?

"Hmm...but if you stay in the classroom, you won't be able to see Ah Zheng after the training immediately." Aggrieved by Akashi's reproachful tone, Kiriko explained unhappily, "I want to appear at Ah Zheng's side."

Akashi didn't change his expression: "You can come into the gym." It's also stronger than staying outside for hours with the wind blowing.

"..." Tongzi fell silent, she would never refute everything about this person in front of her.It wasn't that she didn't know how to refute, or that the other party was too powerful for her to refute, but that she never thought of rebutting at all.This was something that was doomed from the moment she first met Akashi.Therefore, when encountering something very unwilling, she did not open her mouth to refute, but responded with silence.

"……Let's go back."

Knowing her temperament well, Akashi certainly understood what her silence meant.I have to say that this guy sometimes likes to be obsessed with some strange things, such as never entering the gymnasium during basketball training, obviously not short of money but reluctant to throw away old clothes and buy new ones, and he doesn't like to order at home. When a servant does something, all he can do is do it himself.These are undoubtedly completely unnecessary in Akashi's view, but whenever other people mention them, she always smiles and shakes her head, saying "probably a habit" and then skips it perfunctorily, and if the object is him, she will enter the same way as now silence.She was always as stubborn as a bull in these matters.

Akashi Seijuro is not a person who likes to make things difficult for others, so she doesn't want to, and he doesn't intend to force it.

"Yeah!" Kiriko Sawamiya smiled immediately, her cold facial features could always melt the ice and snow warmly when she smiled at him.She pulled the satchel on his back and put it on her back, followed closely behind him, her expression suddenly became a little hesitant, "But... well, can Ah Zheng go somewhere with me before going back?"

"...Where?" Akashi was taken aback, wondering what she was going to do.

"This... don't ask this first." Very bad at keeping secrets from Akashi Seijuro, Kiriko Sawamiya turned her eyes away and tried to hide her face in the wide scarf, "Anyways, it's not a messy place anyway!"

"Hmm." Akashi didn't ask any more questions, it's rare that she would ask for everything from herself, thinking that it's still early, so it wouldn't hurt to accompany her for a while.So he nodded and agreed without hesitation, "I see, let's go."

"Eh?" After staying for a few seconds, Kiriko Sawamiya realized that Akashi had agreed.She immediately showed an extremely happy smile, as if she had heard something great and good, the color of her whole body became bright:

"Hmm! OWO"

That place seems far away.

It would be much faster to take a car for such a long distance, but Kiriko Sawamiya didn't know what was going on, so she insisted on dragging him to walk.He asked why she also faltered and couldn't explain it.Akashi stared at her silently for a while, sighed in his heart, and said nothing more.

Sometimes Seijuro Akashi would subconsciously give different indulgence to Kiriko Sawamiya.

"Ah Zheng, is it cold?"

Because of the too cold temperature, there were not many people on the street.Most of the pedestrians are fully armed, with a lot of hats, scarves, gloves and masks, and those who are not fully equipped try to tuck themselves into their clothes so as not to be exposed to the cold wind.Kiriko looked at Akashi's whole body, which was not equipped with other accessories except a scarf, with a worried face, and subconsciously cared.

"It's okay." Akashi Seijuro, as a boy who excels in sports, naturally won't be afraid of the cold.He answered casually, and before he finished speaking, he felt his right hand being held by someone.Looking sideways, I saw Kiriko Zegong took off her gloves, wrapped her hands on her chest with two warm hands and breathed out, complaining distressedly while doing it: "I still said it's not cold, my hands are so cold! Ah Zheng I just like to be brave!"

"..." Akashi was speechless, he really didn't try to be brave.He is already very strong, so he doesn't need to show off.It's just that his body is cold, and the external touch is a little colder than that of ordinary people, which is not as exaggerated as Kiriko Sawamiya said.

But it's cute that this guy gets nervous when it's about him.

The hands are wrapped in soft palms, and the warm breath seems to be blown into the heart through the skin of the hands.Akashi's indifferent brows and eyes softened slightly, preventing Kiriko Sawamiya from warming her right hand and then warming her left hand, and finally going to rush to a store to buy gloves, and said softly, "Okay, I'm really not cold."

"Hmm..." Sawamiya Kiriko immediately gave up the idea of ​​buying gloves, but she was still worried that Akashi would be cold, so she had to speed up and try to reach the destination as soon as possible.

10 minute later.

"It's here."

... This is where she wanted to come?

Akashi looked expressionlessly at the small cafe with classical and simple decoration in front of him.Because it is located in an inconspicuous location, the business of the small cafe is not very good. Except for a few customers, there are only two waiters chatting at the counter.

He thought it would be an incredible place to let this guy keep it a secret before he arrived... Unexpectedly, it was unexpectedly devoid of any features.

"jingle"

"Yeah, are you here?" The waiter seemed to know that Kiriko Sawamiya would come, so he stopped chatting and looked over.They looked curiously at Akashi who was next to Kiriko Sawamiya, and couldn't help but smile for no reason, and reminded them gently, "I've been waiting for a long time for the room on the second floor."

"Well, thank you." Sawamiya Kiriko thanked politely, and then reached the second floor along the cylindrical ladder with Akashi.

Standing in front of the only room on the second floor, Kiriko Sawamiya did not go in, but stood outside the door and said to Akashi, "Amazing, go in first."

Akashi, who has been calm since arriving at the coffee shop, glanced at her suspiciously, wondering what tricks she was hiding.After pondering for a second, Akashi Seijuro didn't hesitate, stepped forward and held the handle to open the door. After seeing the scene in the room clearly, he was stunned at the door.
