[Black Basket] Star Trail

Unbearable.

Unbearable.

Kanzawa Jizheng put down the small soup bowl in his hand.

"Let me tell you...it's not my illusion at all, is it? I have felt it clearly for the past few days." The young man had already given up on letting her speak. Di first broke the silence, "I always feel that my back is chilly, as if I'm being targeted by a lion or something, think of a way for me."

The girl sitting directly across from Kanzawa Ki shook her shoulders—the miso soup made her tongue ache.Kanzawa Norie glanced casually at Akashi who was not far away, and the latter then averted his gaze.

Since the other party has no intention of fighting, the girl also intends to withdraw with gold. "It's not something I can work hard on."

"How dare you say it. You obviously started it yourself."

"Don't make it sound like it's my fault." The brown-haired girl blew into the soup bowl, looked at the portrait vaguely reflected on it, and the girl inside also looked back indifferently, "In short, I reject your proposal."

"What are you pretending?" Kanzawa Jizheng snorted, "Even if Akashi doesn't do anything, he will probably reconcile with him in the end, and then let's put flash bombs everywhere until everyone around him is blinded... Don't rush to deny it, The reason why we can still fight coldly now is because neither of us can see our expressions."

The sun is setting outside the window.

Akashi Seijuro in Teiko school uniform threw the basketball high.The dark orange sphere crossed a straight line and landed in his palm again.The red flip phone was placed on the desk, and because it was connected to the charger, the small lights on the screen flickered, like some kind of sandy stardust.

The last email I had with Kanzawa Norie was sent a month ago—it was before the finals, and the content was "Is there anything you want as a celebration item?" As a result, Akashi went to find her after receiving the prize However, Kanzawa Norie has already left the gymnasium, and has not explained a word to Akashi, and there has been no contact since then.

At some point, the last ray of light from the sky has fallen.The bedroom is dim and dark, almost giving people the illusion of being in the deep sea.There is light from outside coming in through the crack of the door, but the only thing it can touch is that line, and it can no longer move forward.

After all, it was in his own room, Akashi didn't even remember the furnishings and the location of the items, and put the basketball back on the shelf based on his own impression.The red-haired boy was holding the phone tightly, the metal body under his palm exuded heat, as if he was holding a still warm organ, as if the beating of life was in the palm of his hand.

Akashi flicked his fingertips and turned on the phone.

Akashi gave Kanazawa Norie two chances, and both times she watched it slip away.

The teenager didn't understand why she did this.Kanzawa Jihui never judged others by her own principles, but she made an exception for him this time, just as he also made an exception for her.Perhaps in her eyes, Akashi really did too much this time - too much to the extent that she couldn't treat Akashi like in the past.

But what has been done, there is no room for change, and Akashi doesn't want to deceive himself, he doesn't regret doing such a thing at all.Kanzawa Norie is important, but not so important that he can change Akashi Seijuro—Akashi has asked himself how far he can change for Kanzawa Norie, and the answer is just to restrain his own nature a little.For two people, although the relationship has a certain weight, it is not so important that it can be blinded.

The expression on the face of the red-haired boy was illuminated by the screen, and his calm and almost lifeless eyes scanned the emails one by one. After pulling the inbox to the bottom, Seijuro Akashi rolled his eyes, and with the light of the phone, he turned his eyes to to the paintings on the walls.Beside the black and white Sydney Harbor, there are three letters representing Kanzawa Norie.

He narrowed his eyes and focused on this.

So... what to do next?

The moment Kanzawa Norie came out of the bathroom and saw Akashi Seijuro, he realized something unusual.As the captain of the basketball team, why can he stay on the third floor instead of rushing to the gymnasium 15 minutes after the school bell rang?Thinking of this, Kanzawa Norie took her schoolbag and walked towards the stairs while slowly looking at the red-haired boy.

It wasn't her illusion, Akashi had indeed adjusted his pace on purpose so that he could stay within a radius of one meter of Kanazawa Norie, maintaining this not too close or too far distance.The girl involved naturally sensed that Akashi was planning something, but she didn't say anything, just walked her own way without looking sideways, as if Akashi Seijuro didn't exist in her sight range at all.The rhythm of the red-haired boy was extremely precise, and the two finally walked to the stairs almost at the same time. He turned sideways and motioned for her to go first. Wish, "Thank you."

...Only in this kind of place can a consistent attitude be displayed.

Walking near the teacher's room, Kanzawa Norie stopped in her tracks, neither spoke nor made eye contact. Akashi could see that she was hesitating, as if she hadn't decided whether to say goodbye to him.

In the end she didn't.

"Shen Ze." The homeroom teacher beckoned the girl over, "Help me deal with this part of the materials."

"Okay." Kanazawa Norie replied.It is not a matter of a day or two for the head teacher to ask her for help. Generally speaking, she will do things well as soon as possible. The girl's efficiency is extremely high, and most of the time can be completed in a short time.But after the start of the cold war with Akashi Seijuro, Kamizawa Norie went to help more and more frequently, and the time became longer and longer-this was just right, anyway, she needed to distract herself.

What the class teacher asked her to compile was some basic high school information, which was used to provide those students who hadn't made a decision yet. After all, it was already the second semester of the third year of junior high school, and there was not much time left.

Kanzawa Norie sat next to the homeroom teacher with a lot of information. She weighed the weight in her hand and secretly estimated that it would take about half an hour to 45 minutes to finish everything.

"Kamizawa, you..." The head teacher never moved his eyes from the paper, but the words were obviously addressed to the girl, "It is true that the three volunteers are all in Kansai, one is in Nara and the other is in Kyoto?"

"Well, that's right."

"According to the deviation value, it should work. Besides, you have a letter of recommendation from the director, right?"

The other party touched a sensitive topic, and the girl also became vigilant, raised her eyebrows, and looked sideways with a flat but sharp gaze, "I really want to thank the chairman for his help in this matter."

"I should go." The teacher in charge replied, and there was no further comment so far.The two of them returned to silence again. Kanzawa Norie glanced a few times in the middle, but the person sitting next to her seemed to be doing things unconsciously. The girl was not sure whether he was simply talking or hinting. What, but things that can't think of results, Kanzawa Norie has long been used to ignoring them.After a while, the man lifted his glasses and looked at the unfinished part of the girl. "I'll go get some things first, and if you're done, Shen Ze, just put the things on my desk."

The homeroom teacher left for a full 15 minutes.

Kanzawa Norie folded the documents that had been sorted out, and was about to transfer the things to the homeroom teacher's desk, when he glanced down, he saw the familiar handwriting──

Volunteer list is arranged according to student number.

Students are sorted by name.

As a matter of course, the one placed at the top is Akashi Seijuro's voluntary statement.Kanzawa Norie didn't even need to look carefully, the four words were already hitting the girl like an iron ball smashing a building.

"First choice: Luoshan Takajo (Kyoto)"

The latest voluntary statement was handed in within one month.In other words, after the start of the cold war between the two, Akashi Seijuro still, or switched to, preferred Luoshan far away in Kyoto.No matter which one it is, to Kanzawa Norie, it only means one thing.

The brown-haired girl put down the materials and hurried out of the teacher's room.

He must be found.

Akashi Seijuro must be found.There is no delay for a second, and nothing is enough to stop Kanzawa Norie.

──Now, immediately!

When the brown-haired girl appeared outside the basketball club, Momoi Wuzuki no longer looked surprised.Kanzawa Norie appeared in the basketball gym more times than Aomine or Murasakihara. Since the other party didn't disturb the training, Momoi had no intention of stopping her from looking for someone. However, something was wrong with Kanzawa Norie today.

It was the first time Momoi Mayzuki saw her like this.It seems that because of running all the way from somewhere, the girl's bangs and breathing have been disturbed. When she reached the basketball court, she had to put her hands on her knees and asked Momoi Wuzuki gasping for breath, "... Where is Akashi?"

"Akashi-kun?" The pink-haired girl didn't expect her to come to Akashi. In Momoi's eyes, Kanzawa Norie couldn't possibly be ignorant of the whereabouts of the red-haired captain, "He didn't come for training today."

The girl frowned. No wonder Akashi Seijuro was so calm after school. It turned out that he never wanted to come to training from the beginning. "...Does Momoi-san know where he might be?"

The head manager of the basketball department shook his head apologetically, "I'm sorry."

"Don't worry about it." Kanzawa Norie reassured casually, then turned and left the basketball court. After finding a remote corner, the girl took out the mobile phone in her pocket and dialed the number of the first contact person.

……No one heard.

Kanzawa Norie bit her lip and hung up the phone, then there was only one way to go.She didn't want to alarm this person, but according to the current situation, she had to.The brown-haired girl dialed another number, but after three rings, someone picked it up. The voice was neither urgent nor slow, nor humble, "This is Akashi's house."

She recognized it was the butler's voice, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly explained the situation.The butler didn't seem to know Akashi's exact whereabouts, so he could only give vague information.Fortunately for Kanzawa Norie, such information is enough for her to find Akashi Seijuro. "It's true that I came back and went out again and again. My mobile phone and wallet are all left here. The clothes are ordinary T-shirts and shorts... By the way, I still have a basketball."

If he dresses casually, it means that the place he is going to is not far from home, and there is no need to dress up too neatly. This is also proved by not bringing a mobile phone or a wallet.If you hold a basketball, the possible places are greatly reduced. After all the places on the map are eliminated, the only thing left is—

basketball court!

Kanzawa Norie hung up after thanking her, and the girl who picked up her schoolbag and left ran out of Teiko Middle School, subconsciously looking for the nearest taxi stand.It was a rush hour after get off work, and the traffic was so congested that it would have taken several times as long to get there by car.It is not feasible to use the subway, and it is the same result if you still have to transfer after reaching the ground.Thinking about it all turned out to be a dead end, so Kanzawa Norie gritted his teeth and ran on the road.

Akashi Seijuro bent down and picked up the basketball.

The place—or, perhaps, the serenity of the basketball court—soothed him like it had done countless times before.Although he skipped the training of the basketball club, Akashi felt uncomfortable after returning home, feeling like he was missing something and didn't do anything. The slightly upset Akashi simply took the basketball and came here to do shooting practice.This area is surprisingly quiet, except for the sound of Akashi's own dribbling, all sounds seem to have been erased by someone, and they don't exist in the world.The red-haired boy was dribbling the ball lazily, and the second the basketball bounced from the ground to his palm coincided with his heartbeat.

Akashi stood on the three-point line, and as soon as he stood still, he flicked his wrists and threw the ball.Maybe it was accidental, or maybe it was inevitable. At this time, there was a car passing by here, and the sound of the trigger overwhelmed the noise of the basketball smashing into the hoop, the sound of Akashi Seijuro landing lightly, and the hurried footsteps of that person. Voice.

The red-haired boy bowed down again.

──A pair of women's leather shoes appeared in the corner of his eye.

──The man's light but rapid panting came from his ears.

Then Akashi Seijuro looked up, and as he expected, a brown-haired girl with a ponytail was standing two steps away from him, her breath was uneven, but her eyes were clear and bright, with extremely complex emotions, projecting directly on him.

Akashi Seijuro froze for a moment, then picked up the basketball and held it in his hand. "What's up?"

Kanzawa Jihui took a few deep breaths to calm down his agitated heartbeat, and it was clear that thousands of words had reached the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't utter a single word.no.That does not work.She needs to calm down.

The sunset has quietly descended, and the boy can see the red color of the sky. If the color is darker, it will be the color of Kanzawa Norie's eyes.If Kanzawa Jihui's eyes were darker, it would be his own pupil color.Akashi waited patiently for the girl to catch her breath, and asked again, "What can I do for you?"

Her body, which is not used to exercising, trembled a little, her legs were slightly sore and limp, and her mind went blank. It seemed that she had lost even the ability to organize words, and the girl could only extract key words. "... Luoshan."

She seemed to be a drowning person who caught the lifebuoy, or a baby who was just learning to speak, and murmured the word again, with seven points of bewilderment and three points of anxiety. "Luoshan..."

Akashi Seijuro's eyes were burning, but he remained silent.

Kanzawa Norie seemed to have found some important clue in the process of repetition, and suddenly took two steps forward, stretching his arms around his neck from both shoulders, not caring about his disheveled clothes and the sweat on Akashi's temples .

Before he felt the cloth on his shoulders wet, Akashi Seijuro couldn't realize what Kanzawa Norie was doing.Leaving aside how she found out about it, Kanazawa Norie's reaction at this moment was more or less out of Akashi's expectation—he had to admit that he never thought that Kanzawa Norie would find this place at this time .

The shoulders of the girl in front of her were twitching slightly. She hugged him with such strength that she almost wanted to climb on him.Akashi Seijuro loosened his fingers unconsciously, and the basketball fell from his palm, fell to the ground and bounced a few times before rolling away.He was finally able to hug her back with both hands. If anyone could see Akashi Seijuro's expression at this moment, they would probably be able to tell right away that it was a look that was so gentle that it was almost terrified.

She is trembling.

His hands were shaking too.

The moment Akashi put his palm on the girl's butterfly bone, Kanzawa Norie finally couldn't help crying like a child who was awakened by something.Obviously there is no need to cry, obviously you can ask him with a smile "Why Akashi-kun wants to go to Kyoto", obviously there are thousands of ways to welcome this moment more beautifully, but what Kanzawa Norie can do is actually There is only crying on his shoulder.

"Why, why..."

The girl's nasal question rang in his ears, Akashi tilted his head a little unnaturally, but doing so only put his own cheek close to the girl's hair.Even though there was no information in the girl's question, Seijuro Akashi still didn't hesitate when he answered, "There are many reasons."

"As the captain of Diguang, I received an invitation from Luoshan, a basketball powerhouse, which is one of the reasons.

"As a training for myself, I want to leave Tokyo to go to school elsewhere, which is the second reason.

"As a student, there is nothing wrong with wanting to go to a good high school.

"As a Japanese, I look forward to the culture of Kyoto, which is the fourth reason.

"As Akashi Seijuro..." His warm breath brushed her hair, and his palms were placed on the butterfly bone and ribs, so that Kanzawa Norie could no longer break away from his embrace. "Because I wanted to go, so I went."

The brown-haired girl suddenly stretched out her fingers and grabbed the cloth on his back, and buried her head in the hollow of his neck.Akashi Seijuro tilted his head and sniffed the fragrance of her hair. The smell was like this basketball court, which strangely soothed his emotions and made him calm down involuntarily.

Then he heard the three words whispered by the girl.

Obviously he heard it clearly, but Akashi Seijuro still chose to lie. "I can not hear."

"I like...you..." Once these three words are said, it seems to be easy to confide in the rest of the words. Kanazawa Norie keeps repeating, "I like you... hi, like you..."

As she repeatedly emphasized, the corners of the red-haired boy's lips also formed a nice arc.

"Me too."

The person in his arms seemed so surprised that he even stopped crying for a moment.Akashi Seijuro chuckled and rolled up the hair around her ears so that the ears were exposed, and then tried to turn her head around, but the girl resisted unexpectedly.The bangs in front of Kanzawa Norie's forehead covered his eyes, and he said dully, "I just cried...it's not pretty."

Akashi didn't say a word, but made her look directly at him with a gentle but undeniable gesture.The brown-haired girl's pupils were glistening, her eyes were already flushed, and her lips were bitten by her - she looked like a pitiful, awkward and cute child.

He brushed the corners of her eyes and cheeks with his fingertips, wiping the tears from her face, and at the same time his thumb landed on the lips.The calloused fingertips swept back and forth a few times before leaving her lips, replaced by—

There is nothing more amazing than this.

It seems that all the words that can be uttered and cannot be uttered, those words that were stuck in the throat and tongue before, are conveyed without any obstacles at this moment.If the touch and joy overflowing in the chest can be transformed into this way, it seems that it can be easily expressed.

Kanazawa Norie narrowed her eyes.His waist was embraced by his right arm, and his ribs could feel the muscles twitching when he exerted force. The seemingly thin boy actually had such strength.In the empty place, Akashi stretched out his other hand and pressed the back of her head to force him towards him. The girl blinked, her slender eyelashes flapping like dew-stained butterfly wings, Comply with his movements obediently.

Looking at each other, the girl clearly saw that his pupils were almost round like a cat hiding in the shadows.Akashi Seijuro squinted his eyes to look at her, his still-colored pupils didn't show the slightest viciousness at the moment, but rather dazed——kissing is like a kind of too strong drug, after just one taste, he becomes addicted, the two of them Before even knowing what happened, he was already deeply involved in it uncontrollably.

From the angle of Kanzawa Norie standing, there happened to be a ray of sunlight illuminating Akashi's left eye.

That was the brightest gold that Kanzawa Norie had ever seen.
