[Black Basket] Star Trail

"Good morning."

Akashi Seijuro walked past Norie Kanzawa's seat.The brown-haired girl was doing a multiple-choice question, and Akashi glanced at it casually. It was not a school homework, and judging from the text on it, it probably was some kind of foreign language.

Although I told everyone in the Generation of Miracles that "you don't have to come to practice", Akashi himself still went.Aside from leaving for a while when someone came to interview, Akashi still diligently completed what he was supposed to do.If even the captain does not practice, the impact on the team will be very negative.

Kanzawa Norie was putting down his pen and flipping through the dictionary, when he heard Akashi's greeting, he looked up at him lightly, "Good morning."

The red-haired boy's changes were far from internal, he even changed his appearance, the blood-red left eye was no longer there, replaced by a brilliant golden color.If that incident brought ordinary growth to Akashi, Kanzawa Norie would not have the heart to worry about it, but since it affects his physiology, it must not be a trivial matter.

Kanzawa Norie lowered her head again and circled the correct answer.

Akashi knew very well that Norie Kanzawa was avoiding him.

If the other party was intimidated by his performance that day, it would be too small for her.Since Kanzawa Norie was able to talk and laugh freely in front of his father, and since he was able to endure all the hardships he had endured, it was impossible for him to change his attitude towards himself because of this incident.Then there must be some reason, Akashi didn't realize it, and let Kanzawa Norie take the initiative to back away, and put a distance between each other.

Since that day, Akashi changed "Kamizawa-san" to "Kamizawa".When the twins were both present, the latter title was still added for identification, but when Kanzawa Kimasa was absent, Akashi began to call her by a new title.Kanzawa Norie noticed that he did not behave like this to others. Facing the Generation of Miracles, the red-haired boy did start to call their names, but he still did not change his words to his classmates, such as Shimizu, such as Tiangu──So is it right? It means that Kanzawa Norie, as a classmate, has a special meaning to Akashi?

While Akashi noticed the change in the girl's attitude, he also realized that he didn't like her behavior.

It's not that Kanzawa Norie takes up much time in Akashi's campus life, nor does it mean that her behavior is rude, what Akashi doesn't like is the fact that "Kamizawa Norie escaped" That's all.

When the other party asked him "Can I trust you", Akashi gave a clear answer.

Now, he also planned to ask her a question in another way.

Although she was much colder when she spoke, Kanzawa Norie passed her schoolbag over when the other party reached out.Probably because Akashi was no different when facing most people, and everyone's reaction was surprisingly cold, even if they also saw those golden eyes.

If Kanzawa Norie didn't know how much he cared about Akashi before, it has been thoroughly shown now—only those who care about the other party will care about his changes and worry about whether he is well.

It has been more than half a month since the ankle was injured, even if it is not cured, there is no need for other people to go with her. Akashi still insists on sending her to the basketball gym, which surprised Norie Kanzawa.

The other party is not an aimless person, he must have his purpose in doing so.

Sure enough, when turning the corner and going down the second floor, Akashi Seijuro was the first to break the silence.

"Is there anything you want to ask?"

Kanzawa Norie turned his head to look, and answered the question with a question, "It depends on what Akashi-kun wants to say?"

Akashi Seijuro changed his words, but the girl didn't.Not only did she not intend to remove the word "Jun" at all, but she deliberately used this title every time she talked, reminding him intentionally or unintentionally.

The red-haired boy has no intention of going around in circles with her. Kanzawa Norie is a smart person, and talking to a smart person may fall into an unknown vicious circle, and it may not be possible to be led by the nose from now on. "About my performance at the basketball court that day. About my so-called change."

Kanzawa Norie quickly captured the key words. "Akashi-kun, don't you think you've changed?"

"Because of this necessity, I have adjusted my policy towards the team." Akashi Seijuro looked forward, his expression so indifferent that it was almost cold, "This is not a change. I am just adapting to the current situation."

"What does the status quo mean?"

"As long as there is a crack in the porcelain plate, it is impossible to restore it." Akashi explained, as if referring to a specific person, or as if talking about the entire team, "As long as you have the heart to repair it, it can still be used. If If there is a need, of course I will contribute. But it is no longer necessary, and broken dishes can also be used. So my judgment is to let the situation develop naturally."

"I don't know anything about basketball." Almost at the moment when Akashi's words fell, Kanzawa Norie gave a response, which shows that these words were not just words on a whim, but thoughts that she came up with after repeated chewing . "Is it better before the adjustment or after the adjustment? I can't answer this kind of question at all. I'm not so naive as to think that the Diguang basketball club is a place full of warmth. If it is the absolute king in the middle school academic circle, the internal competition must be quite strong. Intense, in fact, I agree that as long as the players are strong, there is no need to take into account the need for teamwork. What I wonder is, is it really okay for Akashi-kun to allow the situation to go from a delicate balance to extremes?"

Akashi adjusted the buttons on his suit jacket, "If you can use the method of 'pushing the situation to the extreme', as you said, to better utilize the strength of each player?"

The brown-haired girl stopped in her footsteps, and her rose-red eyes stared at Akashi, like red tulips in full bloom in a deserted valley. "So……"

She hooked the corner of her mouth.This was the first time Kanzawa Norie smiled at Akashi after that incident.

"I trust Akashi-kun's judgment."

"Akashi-kun knows a lot more about basketball than I do." Kanzawa Norie took another step, and after a few weeks of practice, she was able to use the crutches fluently. "Please allow me to make an inappropriate analogy. Just like a patient would not question a doctor's diagnosis, I believe that Akashi-kun made the right decision."

"...Your attitude does not match this sentence."

Akashi euphemistically raised his own doubts. Once some things are said too clearly, it will make people feel that there is no interest in going straight. Just the right temptation is also a kind of language art.

"So, now that the doubts in your heart are resolved..."

The two went underground, and Kanazawa Norie took back the schoolbag from Akashi's hand again, "The reason for my actions is not because of the Teiko basketball team. I have nothing to do with the people over there, the only bond is Akashi-kun That's all. I'm not free enough to worry about the commotion in the men's basketball club. If I had to put them on a reason, it would be because of the abnormality of Akashi-kun's left eye."

"To be honest, I didn't do what Momoi-san asked me to do at that time because I had enough confidence in Akashi-kun. With you around, the situation wouldn't completely get out of control. However, things didn't go as smoothly as I expected."

In front of the bench, Kanzawa Norie turned sideways to look at Akashi Seijuro, staring into his left eye behind his bangs.

"The change in this eye is completely out of my foreseeable range."

Akashi listened to her words quietly, then pulled up his bangs, completely exposing that eye.

He already had vertical pupils, but with this pupil color, he looked even more unusual.It is undeniable that the color is really beautiful, as bright as the sun.Kanzawa Jihui slightly raised his head and looked up at him, the distance between the two was only a few feet away, "I have been two people from the beginning."

Akashi Seijuro's confession came very suddenly, at least Kanzawa Norie didn't expect to hear these words here and now, but the expression on the girl's face did not change. On the other hand, the girl has a little experience. "And these two people have switched positions now. I don't intend to hide it. As for whether to believe it or not, it's up to you, Shenze. I can't do anything about it."

"I know." Kanzawa Norie said calmly, "Even if I don't know every detail, I can roughly guess what Akashi-kun's transformation is. There is no big difference in Akashi-kun's daily performance, so It's not that I can't accept it. Rather, since Akashi-kun promised to keep a secret for me like that, I should also reciprocate now and give Akashi-kun the respect and acceptance he deserves."

The brown-haired girl closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"What I'm concerned about is Akashi-kun's physical condition. If...if the change in eyes is a bad thing, then I will regret that I didn't do what Momoi-san wanted that day."

The wording is still very conservative, and the tone is still very flat, but no one can deny that what the girl said just now is the most explicit sentence Kanzawa Norie has said since they met.Akashi did know what the girl was thinking, but he had never heard her say it out of his own mouth.It's almost to the extent that he clearly writes his concern on his face.

Akashi Seijuro lowered his head and smiled seven times.The afternoon sun was bright but not glaring. In the late October that was getting colder, it made people feel hot all over. Kanzawa Norie stood in front of him, wearing a Teiko school uniform and a white sweater, with a neat bow around his neck.After seeing Akashi's smile, Kamizawa Norie's tense expression relaxed a little bit, the wind blew past her back, blowing the girl's high ponytail behind her head to her left ear, Akashi could even smell it The scent of fruit and flowers in her hair.The brown-haired girl apologized, then pushed her hair back. "I'm fine." He said, his voice was as clear as the wind, and he was the last one when he called her last name sun spear,
