[Black Basket] With the miracle

Why is your face so red again?Is it because I stood in front of the oven for too long~”

As if completely unaware of what he had done, Atsushi Murasakihara took another step forward, reaching out to touch Tachibana's forehead.

"Don't, don't move your hands and feet casually!" Tachibana avoids his hand, angrily grabs Atsushi Murasakihara's arm and sits down at the table.

"...Hurry up and eat your candies obediently!" She picked up the candies scattered on the table.

Being successfully distracted by the candy, Atsushi Murasakihara didn't show much concern for Tachibana's blush anymore.

Really, really, this man...

Tachibana sat next to Atsushi Murasakihara, and could only look up at him because of the height difference.

Even though he is so big, he looks like a child, because a piece of candy can satisfy him for a long time.

Now he has a nice smell of candy and the smell of cake from before.

I don't know why, but I feel a little seductive, tempting...

Holding his reddened cheeks, Tachibana shook his head desperately trying to get rid of that word.

But, damn it!It was all because of his inexplicable actions before!

Tachibana secretly made a face at Atsushi Murasakihara, who was still immersed in the candy.

(≧dish≦)! !

"Love Cycle" ([-])

Finally, Tachibana's cake was finally baked.

Atsushi Murasaki took a sip carefully.

"how is it going?"

Having long forgotten the previous entanglement, Tachibana looked at him with bright eyes, and almost flicked her tail.

"It's not delicious...but it's normal~"

When tasting food, Atsushi Murasakihara will always show seriousness that does not match his usual image.

"...It doesn't matter! I will work harder next time! One day I will come up with a satisfactory work!"

Tachibana clenched her fists to cheer herself up.

Looking at the girl who was enjoying Le Diandian's finished product, Atsushi Ziyuan suddenly asked, "Why does Little Orange like Shizai?"

The girl who stuffed her cheeks choked suddenly.

"Cough cough cough...why do you ask that suddenly!...cough cough, didn't you see that I was eating?!=口="

"Hey—I'm just curious and want to ask~"

"Actually, it's very common." Tachibana slowly calmed down, rubbing her chest.

Carefully placing the unfinished cake on the tray, she lay down on the table, staring at a sugar jar in front of her.

"...He helped me before. I have always wanted to find an opportunity to thank Himuro-san for coming."

"I didn't expect to meet him at the beginning. It's just a passerby who only met once. Although I know that he is a student of Yangquan through the uniform, there are still too many students in the school, and there is no way to find them one by one.

"However, I'm lucky enough to say that the first few weeks the two classes were together in music appreciation class, and then I smelled..."

The girl buried half of her face in her arms, with a bright and warm smile in her eyes:

"I smell it again, that unforgettable smell."

Atsushi Ziyuan grasped a word sensitively: "... taste?"

"Yeah." Juli Nai lifted her body and patted her forehead suddenly, "Ah, I forgot to say that!"

"I am prosopagnosia. I suffered from an accidental injury half a year ago. I can't remember people's faces, I can only remember them by sound and smell."

She leaned over and sniffed Atsushi Ziyuan lightly.

"It smells like Ziyuan's body. Now it smells like the cake and candy that I ate just now. Usually, the smell will be more, chocolate, delicious bars, potato chips... In short, the taste of many snacks is correct."

"As for Himuro-san, the lemon scent has never changed."

"Ah, it's getting late."

Getting up from the memories, Tachibana looked at the clock on the wall.

"By the way, are you free this Saturday night?" She turned her head and asked Atsushi Murasakihara.

"I have time~ What's the matter?"

While tidying up the mess on the table with his hands and feet, Tachibana answered him:

"Ziyuan taught me how to make cakes! Although I said I treated you to candy just now, it feels like it's not enough."

"There will be a Kanto festival near my house this Saturday night. There should be a lot of snacks and snacks sold on the street. If you come, I can buy you all you can eat~XD"

"The Kanto Festival..." Ziyuan blinked, "But isn't that only held in August?"

"..." His face collapsed, and Juli frowned, "...Actually, I really want to complain too..."

In Akita, the Kanto Festival in August is an annual event, but why it was held so ingeniously a few months in advance near Tachibana Rino’s house, that’s because...

"The mayor of the town where our family lives is a snake maniac!! =皮="

From time to time, I dress up as various people and wander around the town, such as a coquettish young woman, a sloppy homeless man, etc., but the dressing skills are always so bad that the residents will recognize them after walking a few steps;

When it snows heavily in winter, a snowball smashing meeting will be organized suddenly, and it will be announced that the last person will be punished to run around the whole town half-naked, so everyone will throw snowballs at him in unison;

On the birthday of ghosts, wearing a huge ghost mask and leading a large group of little ghosts to search for food and gifts from house to house, and was found lying on a chair in the park the next morning, dreaming drunkenly;

……

Facing the Kanto festival that was too early, the mayor said triumphantly:

"It's just a rehearsal, a rehearsal~"

Residents who have seen through his nature said that they are no strangers to it.

It sounds quite interesting... Atsushi Murasakihara nodded: "Okay~ I'll see you on Sunday night~"

"Yeah! I'll wait for you at the bus station then!"

When Sunday night rolled around, Atsushi Murasakihara got off at a bus stop near Tachibana's house.

Before leaving the door, he suddenly remembered Ju Li Nao's method of recognizing people by taste, thought for a while, grabbed a handful of chocolates and stuffed them into his pocket.

"In this way, Little Orange won't be afraid that he won't be able to catch me~"

This method really works.

After Atsushi Ziyuan got off the car, he looked up and saw a girl in a light yellow knitted jacket.

Because it is spring and summer, the temperature is very warm during the day, but it is still cool when the wind blows at night.

Unlike the girls on the street who couldn't wait to put on short skirts, Tachibana put on a pair of off-white cropped pants, stepped on a pair of denim canvas shoes, and carried a small blue backpack.

The bangs that were tied up because of the heat during the day were put down, and now she looks fresh and delicate.

At this time, she stood on tiptoe, her nose moved slightly, and she tried hard to find Atsushi Ziyuan from the crowd getting off the car.

When Atsushi Ziyuan was still some distance away from her, Tachibana quickly recognized him.

It was the first time she saw Atsushi Ziyuan wearing private clothes, which was also a loose knit sweater, with dark blue jeans on his lower body, which made his hands and legs even longer.

Tachibana jumped in front of Atsushi Murasaki in a few steps:

"Ziyuan, why do you smell so strong of chocolate today? You can smell it from a long way away."

"In order for Little Tangerine to recognize me, I specially brought a lot of chocolate~"

Like a kid begging for praise, Atsushi Murasaki took out all the candy on his body, holding both big hands full, and then sent it to Tachibana for identification.

"... Murasakihara, you are really a good person!! >"

Led by Tachibana, Atsushi Murasakihara stuffed a piece of hazelnut chocolate into his mouth as he walked, and then handed Tachibana a piece.

He said vaguely:

"Little orange, you can call me Dun~"

"Well, A-Dun..." Tachibana muttered, rubbing her chin.

"...No problem, I will call you A-Dun from now on! Every time I call Ziyuan, Ziyuan thinks it takes a long time, so it will save trouble."

Without much awkwardness, Tachibana readily agreed, and made an OK gesture with her fingers.

Chatting comfortably, they quickly walked to the area where the festival was held.

Night had fallen quietly, and the sky was a deep dark blue.Street lamps were lit on both sides of the broad street, giving off a soft glow.

Some merchants have set up small stalls on the side of the road, selling all kinds of exquisite masks, goldfish fishing and shooting games, and more snacks that have already given off their fragrance.

The number of tourists gradually increased.Most of them are residents of the town, and there are also many people from other places who came to join in the fun after hearing the news.

A group of children played and passed by. Atsushi Ziyuan stopped in front of a goldfish fishing booth, squatted down to watch the goldfish swimming in the tank, and sighed:

"This is a real festival~"

Kneeling down with him, Tachibana paid the money, took a few paper nets and small bowls from the boss, and handed a copy to Atsushi Ziyuan.

"Although the mayor is a strange person, everyone still likes him very much."

"On weekdays, the adults have to go to work, the housewife is busy with housework, and the children have to go to school, so there is little time to interact with each other. Thanks to the mayor, those weird behaviors have made everyone familiar with each other.

"It makes people laugh and cry, wants to scold, but also wants to respect... This is probably the charm of the mayor."

"So even though the preview of the Kanto Festival in advance is a bit ridiculous, everyone still worked hard to prepare."

"For example, my mother went to help the Housewives Association, and my father and brother also rehearsed very seriously for the lantern later."

Tachibana laughed happily, even if she broke all the paper nets while fishing for a goldfish, she just bulged her cheeks.

And Murasakihara Atsushi is a good player in playing games at the festival.

He scooped up two coral-colored goldfish in a very beautiful way, carefully packed them in a transparent plastic bag, and won another one for Tachibana at the shooting booth.
