[Black Basket] Star Trail

Since the accident happened, Kanzawa Norie temporarily left the skiing activities and turned to watch from the sidelines.In this area, apart from the ski resort, there are also several hot spring hotels, all of which are operated as small-scale homestays. This time, the second grade has booked the entire hotel.The brown-haired girl was holding tea by the small window of the lounge and looked out. The black-haired boy had already gone to the intermediate field and was out of her sight, so Kanzawa Norie focused on looking at Akashi Seijuro .According to him, it seems that he hasn't skied for a long time, and he wants to practice again.

When Kanzawa Yuki was walking out of the rest room with his skis, he just walked out without saying a word to the girl.Even though she received the boy's deliberate cold treatment, the corners of Kanzawa Norie's lips still raised unconsciously. If she was still worrying about how she should speak before, now she has no worries at all.

Just as before she acted after seeing the signal from Akashi, now she also sees Kanzawa Jizheng's overtures—yes, just like when they quarreled when they were young, Kanzawa Jihui squatted on the ground and cried, the black-haired boy He turned his face away and handed her a tissue, a silent and awkward gesture of affection.

Akashi Seijuro put his own tray on the table, then knelt on the tatami mat, the girl sat opposite the red-haired boy, the sukiyaki on the wooden table was bubbling, the aroma of vegetables and beef Floating in the air.Dinner is one pot per person, Akashi looked at Kanizawa Norie, "Excuse me."

"...Please go." The brown-haired girl glanced up at the visitor, and after seeing his face clearly, she lowered her eyes and focused on the small pot in front of her again, even though she didn't notice the pot floating in it at all. Floating food.

Now that the decision is made, it is time to act. The girl is laying down the manuscript, preparing to speak to Kanzawa Jizheng at night.Amidst the rising smoke, the red-haired boy tried to figure out the meaning behind her expression, while helping her put the overripe food into a bowl.It only took him a few seconds to realize the reason for the girl's silence.

Akashi didn't bother her, but took out his mobile phone and answered emails while eating.

This kind of thing that is not in accordance with etiquette is never allowed on the table of Akashi's family, but since the occasion has changed, Akashi Seijuro didn't care about these details-this is a trip.The red-haired boy waited for a while, and the girl finally recovered from the long contemplation. Kanzawa Norie blinked and subconsciously looked at the almost full bowl in front of her.

Akashi Seijuro's face remained unchanged, as if nothing happened just now.

"Have you figured it out?" The red-haired boy pushed his plate of raw beef over to share with the girl.

You can understand what each other is saying without having to say every word, which is a bit like having a conversation with Kanzawa Jizheng.Kanzawa Norie likes this feeling of establishing a tacit understanding with others.

"Well, probably."

Kanzawa Norie scooped up a spoonful of the soup in the pot, mixed it with udon and started to eat it, with a slight smile in his voice.

When Kanzawa Norie said goodbye to Akashi in front of her room, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.Although it was still snowing outside, there was always some relative seclusion indoors.The two held a cup of hot chocolate each, and sat near the window sill looking at the snowy scenery outside.After all, it can be regarded as a tourist area. At first glance, it is brightly lit, and there are street lamps standing not far away, illuminating the snow all over the ground into a dim yellow.There is no limit to the topics that two people can talk about, but they can talk about whatever comes to mind.You don't need to think about the topic, and you don't need to force yourself to agree with the other party's thoughts. When you calm down, you can just look at the scenery and listen when you speak.

"Then, good night." Kanzawa Norie smiled at Akashi Seijuro, and inserted the key card into the card slot.The lights in the corridor turned on automatically, but the headlights inside had already been turned off—the black-haired boy was lazily lying on the bed reading a novel.The reading light illuminated half of his silhouette, his face was expressionless, and the boy looked especially cold.He raised his eyes casually, saw Akashi behind the girl, and squinted his eyes to look at the two of them.

Kanzawa Norie didn't care about his reaction, and nodded slightly to Akashi, the light in the corridor was much brighter than the room, the girl's shadow was pulled to the floor of the room, thin and long, and the sharp point pointed straight at Kanzawa like an arrow Ji Zheng.

He saw Akashi smile at her, then nodded to him.Akashi didn't wait for Kanzawa Jizheng to respond, and just turned around and left.The brown-haired girl closed the door gently, and pressed the light switch with a "snap".She didn't look at Kanzawa Jizheng, her expression was so calm that she seemed to be talking to someone he couldn't see, "If you are short-sighted, turn on the light and read."

Kanzawa Jizheng was noncommittal, and continued to read his book, but his eyes stopped on a line for a long time.He had obviously had a shower, and the suitcases were spread out on a shelf for them to pick from.Kanzawa Norie took her things, and walked past the boy without squinting.

When Kanzawa Norie came out, it was no surprise to see the black-haired boy waiting at the door with a toothbrush and toothpaste.Probably because even he himself couldn't bear the strange atmosphere between each other, Kanazawa Jizheng turned on the TV, and a late-night drama was playing on it, the girl let him in sideways, and then watched TV while blowing his hair.

Amidst the noisy sound from the hair dryer, the girl vaguely caught the movement of the boy in the bathroom.She glanced casually at the clock on the wall, it was just past 11:30.Today they took a full seven-hour car journey from Shinjuku to Niigata Prefecture. Both of them were very tired and it was time to go to bed.

She knew exactly what Kanzawa Ji was doing.

The more desperate a person is, the more he will hold on to the only bargaining chip in his hand.Kanzawa Norisha's bargaining chip is that he has taken the initiative in this matter, but this advantage is fading; Kanzawa Norie's bargaining chip is an unparalleled understanding of young people, she knows that he will always soften his heart, the problem is only time sooner or later.

As time went on, the situation became more and more favorable to Kanzawa Norie.That's why, the girl didn't show any worry from the beginning to the end.She sees the situation too thoroughly, this is a gamble that is sure to win.

If you want to say why──

The girl pulled the quilt up to her chin.

She deliberately chose this time for the showdown.Kanzawa Norie still remembers that he was afraid of the dark when he was a child, so he had to sleep with a small light on the bedside. At that time, Kanzawa’s family lived in a relatively small room, and the twins shared the same bedroom. If he wanted to turn on the light, it would affect the girl .There were many nights and mornings when Kanzawa Norie stared at a small light not far away and fell asleep and woke up again.What an impressive impression. After the girl was a little older and had her own bedroom, as soon as she fell asleep, she remembered the small orange lamp and the back of the black-haired boy under the light.

This was her first impression of sleep in a long period of time.

So she also knew that although there was no phenomenon of light sleep, it was difficult for Kanzawa Jizheng to fall asleep under any circumstances, especially in strange places.It's almost like a little boy.

"Are you still asleep?"

Kanzawa Norie asked softly.Her voice is extremely soft, as long as there is a little noise around, even the sound of washing can overwhelm her inquiry.The girl looked at the other bed on the inside, there was a slight moonlight illuminating the room, just not to the extent that she couldn't see her fingers.Kanzawa Norie saw the boy turn over.

Just like back then, what Kanzawa Jizheng left for her was still his own back.

She regards the boy's actions as default.

"Don't you want to talk about it?" Kanzawa Norie looked away and turned to study the decoration in the room.

Kanzawa Jizheng shrank his body as if he had been stabbed by something, because he didn't know if the girl was looking at him, shrunk halfway and then returned to the original state as if nothing had happened. "There's nothing to talk about."

"Lie." The girl's judgment was short but extremely firm, "From October to January, basically, I didn't talk to me for four months. My illness has almost recovered, so you still don't want to forgive me?"

The girl was unexpectedly blunt, or she had lost the patience to be tactful.

Hearing Kanzawa Norie's words, the black-haired boy was silent for a moment, and when Kanzawa Norie almost wanted to speak again, he finally broke the silence.As before, her voice was barely audible.

──"I'm not mad at you."

"I know." Kanazawa Jihui spoke the moment the words fell, and the reaction was as quick as a conditioned reflex.If she thought that Kanzawa Ji was angry with her, a girl who knew she was wrong would never be the first to speak. "Rather than saying you're angry with me, it's better to say you're angry with yourself."

"Yes. I'm angry with myself." The black-haired boy seemed to bury his face in the quilt, and his voice was a little muffled, "I'm angry at myself for not being able to see some clues. It's okay for the elder brother, he is too busy with work You don't spend much time together, so it's understandable if you don't see it. You're not active in school, so I'm not surprised that other people can't see it."

Kanzawa Jihui blinked his eyes, and when he thought about what his next sentence would be, his throat was a little sore, and the realm in front of him became hazy. "But I'm not someone else, Ji Hui. I'm not."

"It's not that I can't accept that something is wrong with you. You know that too."

The girl is sincerely grateful that she revealed everything in the dark night.Even if the scars are uncovered and they are touched by the boy's words, there are nights to cover each other.You can't see my wistful expression, and I can't hear your slightly nasal accent. This is a wonderful moment. The darkness expands your emotions infinitely, but it just doesn't leak to the other party.Words that can't be said on weekdays can be easily escaped, so calm that it hardly resembles himself.

"There are two things I care about. One is that I don't have enough ability to detect what's wrong with you in time, and the other is the fact that you don't believe me." Kanzawa Jizheng said, "After knowing this, I once had a dream about you. Not many, only once. You cried in the dream and wanted to ask for help, and opened the doors one by one in the long corridor, but no one responded to your call Shout. I tried to help, but you couldn't see me."

"Ji Hui." The young man called her name, with deep exhaustion, "In the end, you disappeared out of thin air just like the mermaid princess who walked ashore in a fairy tale. No matter how hard I try to reach out, I want to touch you , trying to save you, but it's useless. All I can touch are your tears."

He said that he dreamed that Kanzawa Kie Hui disappeared.

After hearing this sentence, Kanzawa Norie was speechless for a long time, and could only cover his eyes with his backhand.She didn't cry when she was exposed by her elder brother, and she didn't cry when she confessed everything to the boy, but at this moment, at this moment, in this second, the tears came when Kanzawa Jizheng said this not funny joke at all. At that time, it brushed across her cheek at a speed that the girl could not parry.

He said so.
