"almost"

"Then I'll come over first (laughs)"

"Come directly to the basketball court"

"Is that possible?"

"Can"

"Then see you later"

"Um"

Kanzawa Norie put the phone in his pocket, and raised his hand to summon the waiter to check out.

Because it was Saturday noon, there were a lot of customers in the coffee shop. If she wasn't alone and came early, it might be difficult to find a seat.Although it will trouble the grandparents, it is really a wise decision to eat lunch in the hometown, right?

The brown-haired girl pushed open the glass door of the restaurant, holding a take-away cup of iced matcha milk in her hand. A few drops of water slowly flowed down the outer wall of the cup, soaking her palms.

In June, Kyoto has already stepped into summer, and the sun is so bright that it seems that someone has carefully adjusted it, and it is a little hot on the body.Kanzawa Norie put on his sunglasses, checked the time and direction, and then walked towards his destination.

There is a small residential area near Luoshan University. When Kanzawa Norie walked by, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a golden retriever lying on the ground enjoying the shade, taking a nap with his eyes closed.Perhaps hearing her footsteps, it pricked up its ears to look, then wagged its tail at her.

Both breed and body shape are exactly the same as Heart.The girl became interested, squatted down and waved at it from a distance, and the bright purple hem of the skirt dragged to the ground. "Good day."

The golden retriever's tail flicked from side to side.

...if you look closely, it doesn't seem quite the same.

I have been away from home for a long time, and every golden retriever I see is like Heart, just like every red-haired boy on the street will think of that person.Kanzawa Norie secretly calculated that she hadn't been home for several months. Although the golden retriever might not have forgotten her, if she returned to Tokyo now, she probably wouldn't be as affectionate as before.

Akashi Seijuro put away his phone, raised his head and took a sip of water.

Since entering high school, he and Kanzawa Norie have not seen each other again.The rules of her school are much stricter than those of Luoshan, and the workload is extremely heavy. Even if Kanzawa Norie wants to come to see him, it is not easy. Because of this, today's opportunity is even more precious.

Shiliu Lingyang just finished a set of three-step layups, and when trotting past the red-haired boy, he slowed down a bit. He had never seen Akashi's expression before, "What's the matter, Xiaozheng?"

Akashi Seijuro looked up at Shirou, "It's okay."

Now that he said so, Shi Liu Lingyang couldn't ask any more questions, so she shrugged and continued to practice.The red-haired boy looked at the clock on the basketball court, and then his eyes drifted to the gate.

──Not here yet.

Hayama Kotaro was the first person to see Kanzawa Norie, even earlier than Akashi Seijuro.

The flaxen-haired boy stopped in his tracks.This is not a familiar face, and the other person is not a student of Luoshan High School - if she is, Ye Shan will not fail to recognize her.

"I'm sorry." Kanzawa Norie knocked on the door frame of the basketball department and spoke to the person closest to her.In this case, it was Kotaro Hayama. "Excuse me... where is Akashi-kun?"

Before Ye Shan had time to speak, the red-haired captain had already stepped forward, holding a water bottle and a towel in his hand.Kanzawa Norie raised his eyebrows at him, Luoshan's team uniform was so similar to Diguang's that she almost had an illusion.

"Ah..." Kanzawa Jihui said the words, only to realize that she used the wrong address and quickly corrected her words. "Akashi-kun."

"There are still 3 minutes." Akashi Seijuro said to her, "You can wait inside the venue."

"Eh?" The girl turned her head slightly to look at the field, "...will not disturb you?"

"The coach isn't here, and it's only a few minutes. If you go out and wait, it will be troublesome."

Kanzawa Norie pursed his lips and smiled, stepped into the court as he suggested, took off the sunglasses on his face, and looked at Akashi with a smile in his pink eyes, "Then I I'm sorry."

Akashi Seijuro found her a position farthest from the home court, and did not intend to introduce the girl.Kanzawa Norie smiled at Hayama and took it as a greeting, then sat on a bench by the sidelines, and quietly checked Twitter—for that matter, her presence still attracted many people's attention .

Leaving aside that she is obviously not a student of Luoshan, just considering the fact that "it was Akashi Seijuro who brought her in" is enough to make the first few members exchange glances: too suspicious.

After Akashi settled her down, he wrapped up the team's practice.It just so happened that Kanzawa Jizheng sent a tweet with the attached picture, mentioning that he was sleeping with people from the swimming team. The girl casually left a message below, and the second she pressed post, she raised her head and looked at the people who got together as if inadvertently. Several people.

...It's too obvious to look at it, even if she wants to pretend not to see it, it's impossible.

"Hey," Shi Liuling raised her chin toward Kanzawa Jihui, "Who is that?"

"Akashi didn't say anything." Hayama folded his palms behind his head, "But there is always one thing that people care about..."

"It's really interesting that she's here."

"No, no, no," Ye Shan pointed to his eyes, "I'm talking about the color. It's also red."

Shi Liu Lingyang raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, and was about to speak when the whistle rang.

The first army players gathered together to listen to Akashi's summary.Because it was agreed that he would come over immediately after the dissolution, Kanzawa Norie also put away his mobile phone and listened to him with his chin resting.

The distance between each other was a bit far, and Akashi didn't speak in a growl, and Kanzawa Norie could only vaguely hear a little bit, but she didn't come to listen to him, and this didn't prevent her from continuing to listen.

As if aware of the girl's gaze, Akashi looked over there more frequently than usual today. Shi Liu, Hayama and the others looked at each other, and quickly entered the mode of watching a movie.The so-called summary is nothing more than saying that a certain part is not done enough and needs more training, or that a certain part is done well so he praised a few words. After Akashi finished speaking, he signaled that everyone can disband, and then went straight to the brown-haired girl. "Awaited."

"No, it's only been a few minutes." Kanzawa Norie answered after taking a sip of her drink.

Akashi's eyes naturally moved to the things in her hands, and he frowned, half reminding and half scolding. "It's better not to drink cold drinks for now."

Kanzawa Norie couldn't react for a while, "Huh? ─ ─ huh?! Why do I remember ─ ─"

The red-haired boy avoided answering, "You wait here first, I'll change clothes, and I'll go eat when I come out."

"Wait a minute." Kanazawa Norie grabbed Akashi's wrist, and a few people glanced over while tidying up not far away, but the girl didn't pay much attention.She took out the sports drink she just bought from her bag, "... here."

Akashi Seijuro took over.

Even though he has been promoted from junior high school to high school, Kanzawa Norie is still used to bringing him things when he comes to the basketball court, and she will still watch him play from the sidelines, and he is even "Captain Akashi".When realizing such details, there will be an illusion that nothing has changed, but immediately remind myself that this is no longer Diguang, and she is no longer by my side.

The red-haired boy was silent for a moment, and what he said seemed to be talking about the present, but also seemed to be talking about something else.

"Wait for me here."
