[Black Basket] Star Trail

By the time the last dessert was eaten, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.Kanzawa Yoshihiro put the car keys in his pocket, put on his coat and greeted the black-haired woman. "Let's go, I'll take you home."

Tachikawa Masuki picked up the handbag and thanked the girl with a smile. Only Kanazawa Norie could see the deep meaning in the curve of her lips, "Thank you for the hospitality. It was a delicious meal. So, good night."

Kanzawa Norie squinted her eyes as if she was sleepy, indicating that she had received Tachikawa's message, "Well, come again next time. The cake is delicious, thank you."

The woman smiled at her one last time, and followed the young man out of the house.

The twins put away the dishes, the boy put on his apron and began to wash the dishes, the girl watched the car drive around the corner, took the clean dishes from the boy, wiped them dry and put them on the rack.

Glancing at the thoughtful boy, the girl sighed inwardly.Even if she couldn't see his expression, the girl could feel it—her chest has been tight since just now, and she always has to work extra hard when breathing.

The brown-haired girl opened her eyes slightly.

If Kanzawa Norie can feel such a small touch, does it mean that in the past few months, Kanzawa Norisha has endured more pain than she imagined?

It's just that she has just experienced the pain of bereavement, and it is difficult to completely separate the two, which makes Kanzawa Jizheng unable to perceive her illness.In other words, without intending to do so, she caused him double pain.

Kanzawa Norie gritted her teeth fiercely, but the boy's voice rang in her ears.

"Just say what you have." Kanzawa Jizheng lowered his eyes and focused on the dishes in his hands, as if the movements of his hands were the only thing worth paying attention to in the world.He considered the title for a while, "It's... the sister-in-law's business. I saw that she came to you."

The girl admitted generously, "Well. It's about the big brother──"

She briefly narrated the incident to him. Although some details were simplified, she did not miss anything that should be told to him.One of the reasons why Kanzawa Jihui didn't dare to hide anything from him was that there was no need to keep this matter a secret from him.The matter is very important, if the eldest brother is dismissed, or even dismissed, then the situation will be one-sided, and the girl does not want to see this situation very much.

The more Shenze Jizheng listened to it, the more hostility in his brows and eyes became stronger.

It wasn't the first time she saw him like this, but she still couldn't help being surprised.Even Kanzawa Norio, who seems to get along the best, can be chilling when he gets really angry.Kanzawa Norie set his mind and said his plan, "Although I have been forbearance before, but since I have been attacked to this extent, forbearance will only be regarded as cowardice. There are two things to do now."

The girl put the last dish on the shelf, and arranged it neatly from big to small. From this, it can be seen that she has a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder. "The first is to re-establish the relationship with the grandparents. I thought that as long as there is less movement here, the other party will realize that we have no intention of competing. Obviously I miscalculated their ambitions. Starting today, I will reconnect with the grandparents." , we have to go back together during the summer vacation, and we can stay as long as we can."

"The second thing is to make sure that big brother can hold on." Kanzawa Jihui lowered his voice, every word revealing a rock-solid will, "Sister-in-law promised that I will take good care of big brother, so we just need to Watch what's going on at home. We can't really help, and I hate it."

"They do not leave traces. But we don't need evidence, do we?" Kanzawa Jihui smiled angrily, his eyes slightly curved, and he was a bit cunning, "All we have to do is to fight back fiercely That's all."

"There's more to it than that." Kanzawa Norisha's answer was beyond the girl's expectation.Seeing the girl's confused eyes, the black-haired boy explained, "It's not just a day or two that you are unhappy, there are other things bothering you... Is it Akashi's business?"

"No. It's none of his business." Facing Kanzawa Jizheng who knew the inside story, the girl finally dared to put her disappointment on her face.Kanzawa Jizheng noticed that she first defended Akashi Seijuro, "It's a matter of high school... I have to prepare from the beginning of the third year of junior high school."

"It's something that can't be helped." The girl didn't speak too thoroughly, but Kanzawa Jizheng could understand what she wanted to express, "This matter was decided long ago, and it is impossible to change it now."

His expression turned subtle, "If you say that you are reluctant to part with Akashi, I can't help it... Besides, if you don't ask, you don't even know if he will go to high school in Tokyo, right?"

Kanzawa Norie paused for a while, caring too much and being unable to see everything clearly, she seemed a little stunned unexpectedly, "...but the Akashi family is rooted in Tokyo, but the Kanzawa family is in Kyoto. Where else can he go but Tokyo?"

"How can you know if you don't ask?" Kanzawa Jizheng asked lightly, wiped his hands and took off his apron, "This is not something that can be figured out without asking. If you don't ask, you will regret it to death. Besides, if you want to If you ask, it’s impossible for Akashi not to tell you... What you need between you is not just to think about each other’s good, but to be honest with each other and come up with a solution together, right?”

The girl was silent for a moment, and when she spoke again, her voice was bitter, "You know that I..."

"Ah, I know." Kanzawa Jizheng said, his tone even a little foolish, "You don't want to ask because you don't want to embarrass him, and you don't want to make yourself an option for him. But this is his problem. You Given two choices, how he chooses is his business, and his hesitation and pain are also his business, all you have to do is this."

"But this is too..." Kanzawa Norie looked a bit embarrassed.

Kanzawa Jizheng seemed to want to strangle her, in fact, his hands were actually on her neck, because there was still a little water, so it felt a little cold to the touch, "So why should I solve it for you? Emotional troubles, and I'm not an emotional columnist on a tabloid... I don't know how far you have gone. Anyway, you can do whatever you want. Mother-in-law is not Kanzawa Norie's style at all, is it? What is it to worry about things later, and start worrying about things in the future now."

Kanzawa Norie fiddled with her braided tail.

"I'll try to see if I can find a way to..."

"Whatever you want, it's none of my business anyway. It just makes me uncomfortable to see you troubled by things that have no shadow at all." The black-haired boy put the apron back on the hook, and took it from the refrigerator Bar Chocolate sat on the sofa, and the black cat then lay on his lap, wagging its tail rhythmically.Kanzawa Norie was upset and irritable, ran to the bedroom to find out the drawing book and sketch colored pencils, then sat on the bed and began to doodle.

She opened the picture book.

Kanzawa Norie has more than one picture book, some are dedicated to drawing scenes, some are dedicated to drawing animals, and some are dedicated to drawing characters——recently, the book of characters is used a lot, and there is only one protagonist people.

The red-haired boy looked at her from the drawing paper, the smile on his lips was his usual arc.Akashi Seijuro's smile began to decrease when dealing with other people, especially the few people from the Generation of Miracles, but this did not mean that his usual attitude had changed.This feeling was a bit strange, as if he had piled all the excess warmth on her.

Kanzawa Norie brushed the smile on the corner of his mouth with his fingertips, and stared at the golden eyes on his left for a long time.

Indeed, as Kanzawa Jizheng said, the path she will take has been decided long ago, and now there is no room for turning around.Now the first semester of the third year of junior high school has just started, and she has little time left.

However, you can't rashly determine the relationship in order to qualify yourself as a "choice". Doing so not only disrespects Akashi Seijuro, but also disrespects herself. The two things of "determining the relationship" and "asking questions" must not be put before the horse.

At this moment, the phone screen turned on, and the girl got up from the bed to separate the data cable from the phone, and then glanced at the message prompt on it.It's an email from Akashi Seijuro.

"Next Saturday, are you free?"

Kanzawa Norie opened her schedule.On Saturday, a big red cross was drawn, and next to it was a line she wrote in colored pencils: Therapy is over!

Only then did the girl realize that next Saturday would be the last session of psychotherapy, and the three of Shen Ze's family had already booked a restaurant for the celebration, and they probably had to be busy from morning to night.She pursed her lips in pity, and replied truthfully to Akashi.

The person over there had probably been waiting for her with a mobile phone, and the answer was extremely fast.

"What about next Sunday?"

──I am also not free, this time it is the maintenance of the photographic equipment, which will also take a little time.But if he refuses him with a similar reason, it seems that this side wants to avoid Akashi, so the girl turned on the camera of the phone, took a picture of her schedule and sent it over──

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

Hearing the girl's scream, Kanzawa Jizheng immediately picked up the cat and ran up to the second floor, "What's wrong?!"

Kanzawa Norie, who fell off the bed, covered her eyes with her backhand to protect herself from the direct light, "In a sense... I just confessed to Akashi..."

In addition to the schedule, there is also a picture book on the photo. Although it is not complete, it is absolutely impossible for me to recognize myself as the real person.Kanzawa Jizheng was startled for a moment, then couldn't help laughing out finally, the louder he laughed, until he couldn't bend down anymore.The girl has been troubled for so long, but in the end she was accidentally pushed in front of that person.

The girl who was rudely ridiculed by Kanzawa Jizheng glared at him angrily. At this moment, the screen was on again, and she pressed the off button without even looking at the prompt on it.Kanzawa Jizheng hurriedly took a few steps forward, took her phone, pressed the power button again, and raised it high casually to prevent her from snatching it, "Hey, this is not very good, Miss Shenze. How can it be Turn off the phone immediately without reading other people's answers? Don't you think it's impolite to do so?"

"Bastard!" Kanzawa Jihui immediately jumped up from the ground, grabbed the boy's shoulder and tried to reach out on tiptoe, trying to snatch back his mobile phone, "How old are you, kid! Return the mobile phone!!"

Leaving aside the height difference between the two, Kanzawa Jizheng has been swimming for many years, with long hands and long feet, it is impossible for the girl to touch the body no matter how hard she tries.The black-haired boy smiled smugly, and even exerted his vigor when teasing the cat, lowering the phone a little bit so that the pendant touched the girl's fingertips, but then suddenly raised it when she wanted to hold it tightly.

The girl clasped his shoulders tightly with her hands, her eyes narrowed and her mouth grinning, she was no different from a cat being teased.

"You—"

The two people who had almost lost their composure looked at the door when they heard the sound, and the black-haired young man in a neat suit rubbed his forehead, seemingly weak. "What the hell are you doing?", Xiyou
