[Black Basket Akashi] Brigade, kneel!

Less than a month after school started, it was the anniversary of Luoshan High School.On the school anniversary day, Japanese schools will organize some activities freely by the students themselves, and then open them to the outside world on the school anniversary day, which is what we commonly call the school festival.Of course, Luoshan, a well-known university in Kyoto, is no exception, and it can be said that it attaches great importance to it. All students take the class as a unit and start actively preparing for their own class on the school anniversary one week before the school anniversary. Activity.

From a normal point of view, Xia Yitong, a student from the Celestial Dynasty who basically had no school activities in the six years of junior and senior high school in his previous life except for the sports meeting, is still full of longing for the school festival in Japan.

In fact, Xia Yitong was already looking forward to the Luoshan Academy Festival when he heard his classmates talking about it at the beginning of time travel.But since the beginning of school, the relationship between her and Akashi not only has not improved, but has become more and more indifferent. Recently, even their attitude towards each other has become lukewarm - this undoubtedly made Xia Yitong's state of mind have been at a low ebb since the beginning of school. No matter what it is, it can't arouse any interest and enthusiasm from the bottom of my heart.Therefore, even the arrival of the long-awaited school festival did not make her feel any better.

"A Tong, why did you poke your hand again!"

Xia Yitong's class chose a cosplay cafe this time.In order to exercise the students' hands-on ability, all the props and clothes that need to be used must be made by themselves.In her previous life, she often sewed cosplay costumes for the animation club of her cousin's school. Although Xia Yitong's needlework is not as proficient as a professional tailor, it can still be said to be better than ordinary people.Therefore, Xia Yitong arranged all the costumes for the cosplay this time.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I was distracted for a while." Putting the bloody finger in her mouth and pursing it, Xia Yitong smiled nonchalantly at Nana who was holding the cloth with a worried face, "It's okay, just sip it and it will be fine."

"You're so weird recently, you always look absent-minded." Nana put the fabric in her hand on the table aside, pouted and said, "It's the same in today's class. Teacher Uemura called you many times and didn't respond. Home economics class They also turned sugar into salt! Soy sauce into vinegar! Flour into soybean powder! It’s so unscientific!!! Ah Tong, have you encountered anything recently!?”

"..."...It seems that you took the wrong seasoning and handed it to me directly!And I misplaced the seasoning, how can you be a horror that the whole world is wrong!As for being so scary? As for being so disillusioned? As for being so messy? It’s just a wrong seasoning, I said!

But even a nervous person like Nana has noticed her abnormality, which shows how decadent she has become...

"No, it's just that I've been a little tired recently. So I'm not in a good state of mind, so I'll be fine if I take a good rest." She wanted to talk about the matter with Akashi, but she couldn't explain clearly, not wanting to worry Nana, Xia Yitong covered the dark eyes in her eyes, and raised her eyebrows Weiwan showed a warm smile, and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, how is the promotion work of your news agency going? I remember that the posters and leaflets for this school celebration seem to be assigned to your news agency, right?"

"Ah, that went well!/" Nana said, "Although there was a problem with the printing factory before... but fortunately, Akashi-kun helped solve it!"

Dazed for a moment, Xia Yitong murmured back and asked: "...Zheng Shilang?"

"Yes, yes!" Mentioning Akashi, Nai Nai couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, immediately put down the work in his hands, pulled a stool and sat next to Xia Yitong, and said with great interest, "You know how wicked that printing factory is. No? Obviously our order was handed over to him half a month in advance, but the boss of the printing factory told us that they could not accept our order! Ask them why they didn’t say anything! Later, the consultant of our agency The teacher went to inquire and found out that it was because they temporarily took another big order and couldn't take care of both sides, so they had to abandon our side."

"...This is too much, too dishonorable."

"That's right! You think the same way, right!" Nana clenched her fists indignantly, "So we went to the boss of the printing factory to argue. But guess what, the boss not only refused to accept us What’s even worse is that we didn’t sign a contract with them in the first place, so it’s okay for them to change their minds temporarily!! It’s so annoying!!! It’s obvious that they don’t keep their promises, okay?! It’s like saying Our own problems are not his business!"

"If that's the case, can you contact other printing houses?" Xia Yitong asked doubtfully, "They are not the only printing houses in the whole capital."

"We thought about it too, but the orders of other printing factories are full, and the time for ordering the goods is so short, no one is willing to accept the order unless they pay a high price. The people in our agency are very troubled by this. Especially the minister, he was so worried that he grabbed several handfuls of hair, and if he continues to worry like this, he might become a real monk!"

Xia Yitong 囧: "... Could it be that your minister was a fake monk before?"

"No, that's not true." Nana clapped her fingers indifferently, "I'm old-fashioned, I don't have a girlfriend, and I like to chant mantras, what is it if I'm not a fake monk?"

"..." Nana, your minister knows that he will definitely cry if you describe him like this ==

"Anyway, this incident has troubled us for a long time. The minister planned to allocate more funds to jump in the queue... Then—" Nana's eyes suddenly lit up, "Yesterday when I complained to my brother, Akashi-kun happened to overhear After inquiring about the details, he said that this matter should be resolved by him, and asked me for the phone number of the printing factory. Results! Results!” Nana’s whole body fell into a state of sparkling admiration, “This morning the minister gave I said that print shop has accepted our order! And it will probably be available for pickup tomorrow!!”

"..."

"That's amazing Akashi-kun! Sure enough, Akashi-kun is a god, right? He is omnipotent! There is probably nothing in this world that can stop him. I always feel that everything can be easily solved in his hands... Hey A Tong Are you listening to me?=="

"Huh?" Xia Yitong snapped back to his senses, "Uh, uh...what did you say?"

"You've been really weird recently!" Nana frowned, "Thinking about it carefully, you don't seem to like following Akashi-kun as much as you used to... Ahh! Could it be that you broke up like those rumors said? Already?!=口=No way, aren’t you all talking about your book!”

"...Truck you big-headed ghost." Pushing Nana's big monkey face away, Xia Yitong said with fishy eyes, "Don't talk nonsense, believe it or not, I will bite you, bastard."

"You, you, you...you actually said something like 'bite you'!!" Nana covered her face and screamed, "My A-Tong can't be so soft and cute! Something must have happened!! A-Tong, no matter what No matter what, Mama is always on your side QAQ"

"...Don't be stupid, the black thread is gone, go to the classroom and bring me some."

"Oh……"

Watching Nana go out, Xia Yitong sighed and lowered his head to continue the manual work in hand, but he couldn't concentrate again no matter what.

……Hopeless.

Giving up on continuing to work, Xia Yitong lay down on the table and buried her head in her arms.

Just hearing other people's comments, just hearing that name, my mind is so disturbed that I can't return to calm. I really can't help it.

Fortunately, she used to think that she belonged to the rational type who can clearly judge what she should do and what not to do at the moment, no matter how chaotic her mood is, and get rid of other distracting thoughts and concentrate on doing what she should do.

At this time, there was a sound of opening the door, and Xia Yitong, who was in a decadent state, didn't really want to raise her head. Thinking of this, she muffled her arms and said, "Thank you Nana, I'm sorry, I want to be alone now, you put things away Just leave it there and go about your business.”

……

"Nana?"

After talking for a while, she didn't hear Nana's response, Xia Yitong was about to raise her head to check what was going on in doubt, when a familiar male voice sounded next to her ear: "It's me."

……

Lying on the table in a daze for several seconds, he realized that it was Akashi's voice. Xia Yitong was startled, and immediately stood up straight from the chair reflexively: "Eh? Eh, Mr. Seijuro? Is there something wrong?"

"Well, I have something to look for at work." Akashi looked at the empty activity room, "I heard that she is here, so I came here... But it doesn't look like she is here."

So I came to find Nana...

The turbulent heartbeat suddenly cooled down, and she fell silent for a while, Xia Yitong said calmly: "Nanai, she just left after going to the classroom to get something, why don't Mr. Zhengjulang wait here for a while and I will call her back for you?"

"It's okay, don't bother." Waving Xia Yitong's hand to stop Xia Yitong from going to find Nana, Akashi took out a document from his side and handed it to Xia Yitong, "This is the pick-up list from the printing factory tomorrow, please pass it to her for me .”

Xia Yitong lowered her eyes, and suddenly felt that the white paper in her hand was a bit dazzling, she turned her eyes sideways and dared not look at it again.

"……OK."

"Also." Akashi's tone was still calm and calm, he paused at the door and said softly, "Maybe I will be home late today, you don't have to wait for me, go first."

"…………OK."

"Then I'll leave first."

"..."

I can't describe the feeling of this moment.

Xia Yitong stood firmly on the spot, instantly feeling like he was abandoned by the whole world.

As if in slow motion in a movie, she watched Akashi turn his back to her, then took steps, and walked forward bit by bit in the opposite direction to her.

The chest seemed to be squeezed mercilessly, no matter how hard she tried to breathe, she couldn't relieve the pain of suffocation.

——When... even the touch, which was never enough before, became a source of pain?

"Sign..."

——When... even calling this name that I can't get enough of has become so difficult?

"What else?"

——When...she didn't even have the courage to keep up with him?

"I……"

——When...the distance between himself and him has been so far?

...It seems to be true in this way. From the beginning, I actively chased his steps, and his steps never stopped for anyone.

Ahh...it must be very annoying, there is a follower who always pretends to be affectionate and pays attention behind.

Is there anything more offensive than a forced vote from someone you're not interested in?

"...No." Xia Yitong shook his head.

——The strong will not be shaken by anything.

——The attachment of the weak is of no value to the strong.

Withdrawing the hand that was holding the corner of Akashi's clothes, she slightly raised her drooping face.

——He is at the top, and can only be looked up to.

——What he can see can only be higher places.

"It's nothing."

——Don't have unnecessary expectations, don't have unnecessary hopes.

——Admit it, there has never been any distance between myself and him.

"It's nothing."

Repeating it again in a relaxed tone, the girl raised the corners of her mouth and showed an erratic, sweet, eye-catching smile at the boy.

Just like in manga, just relying on the black and white images can infect the readers, beautiful smile.

But in addition to being bright and dazzling, there is a bit of heartbreaking stiffness.

——He is so strong that he can live without himself.

"See you tonight... Seijuro-kun." She murmured.

——So even if he followed him or not, it was the same to him.

With his hands crossed on his lap, Xia Yitong bowed respectfully and slowly backed to the activity room.

He closed the door calmly, leaning against the cold door panel.

After hearing the silence outside the door for dozens of seconds, there was still the sound of footsteps fading away.

Slowly sliding to sit on the ground, Xia Yitong wrapped his arms around his knees.

She heard a voice in her heart say.

Knocking his eyes hard on his knees, although the eyes seemed to burst from the pressure and pain, they still couldn't stop the tears gushing from the eyes.Xia Yitong couldn't help reaching out and hitting his head hard.

……
