[Black Basket] Star Trail

The girl lay on the bed, looked up at the medal hanging in her hand, and smiled unconsciously when she saw it.

The two finally found the most comfortable measure and angle for them, and got along harmoniously without feeling that "I am accommodating each other".This is easy to say, but if you really want to do it, it is enough to stump many couples who have been married for many years. To be honest, Kanzawa Norie is also very surprised, why they can find the right angle so quickly.Neither Akashi nor herself is essentially an easy person to get along with.

The knock on the door interrupted the girl's thoughts, Kanzawa Norie put the medal back on the bed, straightened up, "Come in."

The black-haired boy pushed the door open, "I left my pencil case at school and now I don't have any pens to do my homework..."

"You idiot."

Kanzawa Norie complained about this without saying a word, then got out of bed, opened the schoolbag and handed it to him.This kind of thing happened more than once, and the girl had already prepared two sets of things at school and at home, so that Kanzawa Jizheng could borrow them from her.

The unreasonable black-haired boy hugged his chest and swallowed her words, his eyes drifted a few times, and he was quickly attracted by the things on the bed.Kanzawa Jizheng narrowed his eyes and took a few steps closer, "This is... I remember you didn't participate in any project? What's more, even if you participated, you wouldn't get the prize..."

Kanzawa Norie backhand poked his lower back with the pen bag, she used a little strength, the black-haired boy let out a pained cry and glared at him, the girl withdrew her hand leisurely, "That's a gift."

The boy rolled his eyes.

"A gift..." Kanzawa Yuki bent down and picked up the medal, "That means it was given to you by Akashi, right? If it's a birthday present, would I be half as a twin?"

"You're dreaming." Kanzawa Jihui patted the entire pencil case on his hand, and then stretched out the free hand in front of him, speaking with a kind of righteous and arrogant, "Give it back to me."

"Cut. If you have Akashi, you don't want me anymore." Kanazawa Jizheng got what he wanted and didn't bother anymore──It's already Sunday night, and the homework still hasn't been done, and he will have it before it starts Staying up all night is done. "The pencil bag will be returned to you tomorrow morning. By the way, is there any homework you can give me..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Kanzawa Norie had already put him on his back and pushed him out of his room, "You did your homework yourself! If you're bored, just play with Spade and don't come to me! Am I a cat!"

After finally sending Kanzawa Jizheng away, the brown-haired girl put the medal back on the desk and was about to close her schoolbag, but saw something strange.The girl took out the two identical homework books from her schoolbag and sighed: she took Akashi's homework home too.Although he had already finished it a long time ago and there was no need to return it to him immediately, but holding his things always felt like something was left behind when he went out. I couldn't say how uncomfortable it was, but there was a thorn in it.Kanzawa Norie casually found a long coat and put it on, turned on her cell phone, wrote an email, and walked out of her room.

The black-haired young man was sitting on the sofa watching TV, and raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw the girl looking like she was about to go out, "Do you still want to go out so late?"

Kanzawa Norie raised the homework in his hand and waved, "I have something to return to someone. If it goes well, I can return within half an hour. I won't bring the key."

"Would you like me to take you?"

The girl shook her head, "It's just to deliver things, there is no need to work hard."

"Then at least bring Heart." Kanzawa Yoshihiro suggested, "It's always a little dangerous for a girl to walk at night. Having it can at least start a deterrent effect."

Before Kanzawa Norie had time to answer, the golden retriever who heard her name came over and nuzzled her leg.The girl looked down at it, and finally nodded, "Then I'm going out."

"Although it's a bit sudden, I'm going to Ah Zheng's house to bring you homework."

Kanzawa Norie pressed the send button and put a collar on the golden retriever.Akashi has always responded quickly to her emails, and she even wondered if the other party had set some special reminders for her emails, but this time until she went out, Akashi hadn't sent a confirmed email yet. .

...Probably taking a shower or walking away.

Forget it, anyway, it will take a while to walk from home to Akashi's house, and I should be able to reply before then.It doesn't matter if the other party is really busy, then she puts down her homework and leaves.

Although he convinced himself with this reason, Kanzawa Norie knew very well that he just wanted to see him.Even if it's just for a second, even if nothing is said, I want to see his face.

The so-called love is probably composed of this irrational but irrepressible impulse.

Kanzawa Norie looked towards the end of the road.There are countless lights on both sides of the path, but none of them can keep her sight. If I have to say the reason, it really is because those are not where she is going.

──There is no Akashi Seijuro in those places.

Kanzawa Jihui raised his head to look at the mansion in front of him.

It sits quietly in the night, and it looks a bit empty because of its size, not to mention that there is no human voice inside.Whether it's laughter or quarreling, there are none of them. It seems to be isolated from the outside world, but it makes people feel terrible.The place was like an office, like a stately mansion, except it didn't feel like a home.Kanzawa Norie is no stranger to this feeling, and so is her home in Kyoto.

The girl pressed the call system. "I'm really sorry for visiting in the middle of the night. This is Kanazawa Norie, who wants to visit Akashi-kun. I have something to return to him."

The voice from the other end was silent for a moment before speaking. "Really, I'll open the door for you right away, please wait a moment."

"Okay, I'm sorry." Kanzawa Norie said, subconsciously looking at her phone.

Akashi has yet to reply.

It seems that we can't meet each other.

When the girl was disappointed, she saw the maid coming out of the house, walked up the stone steps and was about to open the door in front of her.Kanzawa Norie handed over the homework, "Akashi-kun seems to be busy, so I won't bother you, can you hand this over to him for me?"

The maid glanced at her.Kanzawa Norie knew her, and she met her last time when the girl came, and said a word to her at that time—although it was just thank you.

However, the other party obviously remembered this small detail.The arc of the man's smile is different from the kind of smile used for hospitality. It seems that the last conversation made the other party feel good. "The butler told me to convey this: You are welcome, Miss Kanzawa. If you have time, please stay and have a cup of tea before leaving."

The tone of such repeated emphasis is no longer polite, but it seems that there is something to say.Kanzawa Norie looked at the other party calmly, and after seeing the maid's imperceptible nod, she readily agreed, "Then I will take the liberty of bothering you."

After she entered the door, the maid immediately stretched out her hand to signal the girl to hand over the dog leash to her. Kanzawa Kyoie bent down and touched the golden retriever to signal it to be good, and then handed it over to the other party.

The maid led her all the way, and Kanzawa Norie followed behind her, and wrote an email to her elder brother, explaining that she might not be able to go home until later.The butler had already been waiting at the porch, the gray-haired man bowed slightly, his manner impeccable, "Good evening, Miss Shenze."

Kanazawa Norie nodded calmly. "Good evening."

The other party didn't talk nonsense, and raised his hand to signal her to follow him, "Please go this way."

The girl thought it was Seijuro Akashi who asked her to stay, but she soon found something suspicious.Even if you have only been there once, the space in Lier is quite wide, but Kanzawa Norie clearly remembers the path she has traveled before──this is not the place she has traveled before.Akashi would not ask her to wait in the second place so hastily. A family like the Akashi family naturally has a set of hospitality standards. Judging by the direction she is going now, one can know that the place they are going to is in the mansion. deeper room.

Or, it is not an exaggeration to call it the hinterland.

Kanzawa Norie secretly noted down the path under his feet.

The butler finally stopped in front of a certain door, and turned sideways to open a gap for her. The light pouring out from inside dazzled the girl's eyes for a moment. She heard the butler say this in the blank space in front of her eyes.

"Give it to me, please. I will pass it on to the young master for you."

There are two meanings in saying that you will give to Akashi when you come here.

──The person inside is not Akashi Seijuro.

──The housekeeper brought her here on purpose.

The first point and the second point can be linked together.Since it wasn't Akashi Seijuro, who could instigate so many people to let her see him, and knew that she would be unwilling if he made it clear early on, there must be only one answer.

Kanzawa Norie glanced at her attire.

T-shirts, skirts, sweater jackets, and sandals.

...It seems that every time I see each other, I always look like this.

The girl smiled wryly, handed the homework book to the housekeeper, and walked into the door.

As Kanzawa Norie expected, the other party was still wearing a full suit at home. When she walked in, she turned her head to look at the night outside the window. The night scene in Tokyo was as bright as a starry sky falling on the ground. Kanzawa Norie did not expect From this place, you can get a glimpse of half of the city, and you pause your steps in fright at the sight that greets you.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the man with his back turned to look at her, put down the wine glass in his hand.

"sit."

From this brief order, it is not difficult to hear that this is his usual way of speaking—if it were not so, he would not speak so naturally, making everyone who faced him feel that he was a child who did something wrong.The last time I didn't experience it so clearly, the aura of the other party was like an extremely huge tsunami, with the courage to swallow everything at any time, rushing towards her.Kanzawa Norie sat quietly at the other end of the desk, subconsciously sitting with her back straight.Although she was uncertain, she still looked back at the past with as calm a gaze as possible.

The man looked at her sitting posture and pursed his lips.This action made him look a bit like Akashi, the two father and son were surprisingly similar in this place, Kanzawa Norie almost thought he saw the future Akashi Seijuro.The other party didn't say his intentions straight to the point, but greeted her.

"Would you like something to drink?"

The butler walked up to the second floor holding his homework.

At that time, Akashi Seijuro had just walked out of the bathroom. While wiping his hair, he picked up the phone in his hand, flipped the cover with his fingertips, and opened the inbox interface.Seeing the girl's mail, the red-haired boy narrowed his eyes and paused for a while, then he walked outside, and when he opened the door, he saw the butler who raised his hand to knock.Akashi's gaze naturally shifted to the object in the opponent's hand, "Is she here?"

"Yes." The housekeeper replied, sensing Akashi's intention to find Kanizawa Norie, the old man reached out to stop the boy, "Miss Kanzawa is talking to the master right now."

This sentence obviously didn't want Akashi to disturb him.The red-haired boy took off the towel hanging around his neck, "Really... Then, how long will father and her talk? I'll go find her later."

"I don't know." The butler said, seeing Akashi's calm expression from the corner of his eye, he couldn't help being a little surprised.As the head of the Akashi family, the butler naturally knew what this conversation meant.

"Forgive me for talking...Aren't you worried?"

"There is no need to worry." Akashi smiled easily, his golden red eyes sparkled under the light, like some kind of gemstones that had been polished by someone—it was self-evident, "Yes In her words, no matter what kind of situation she faces, she will definitely be able to handle it."

The author has something to say: I won’t write Akashi’s bathing scene for you to see.
